I guess my art has no choice but to improve by 500% after watching this video.

1: Draw from references: I’ve noticed how helpful references can be. Drawing/creating from imagination can be tricky and often times, incorrect.
2: Find an art goal: I’ve been trying to get back into painting as much as I used to back in 2018. So far I finished 3(?) paintings this year. And as a matter of fact, I just finished some Christmas Fanart for this one amazing person. Getting progress there..
3: Improve your state of mind: Procrastination is a b*tch. Fortunately I’ve been convincing myself to be a lot more productive that previously, even if it means having an existential crisis from time to time (ok not that bad) but hey, music helps.
4: Limit the amount of art you consume: When I struggle at a certain point during the art progress, I take a quick break and reflect. Sometimes I get some inspiration from the social medias *without* comparing, which can be helpful.
5: Study with the intent to teach: Creating for me isn’t just about creating something. If I don’t have the *right vision*, I won’t achieve the *right product*. It is VITAL to have a sense of what I’m doing.

I can't be the only one who's mesmerized by how closely he's following the edges with the lasso tool here 7:40

i really can't stop the mentality to compare myself to other artists like "why does mine not look as good as them?" even when im only 15 minutes to making it e.e

Drawing skills: *GOD LEVEL*
Editing skills: *EXPLOSION*

Recently I fall in the pit of consuming too much pro level art, that It drained all motivation I had to keep practicing. Lucky me, I have a talented wife to bring me back on my feet!

6:07 "the only art in your stream is professional stuff" I learn this as I'm watching a professional show me how art is done

[GinsaiGames]

Stopping doing art when you are in a good mood is fucking genius. For a while I would stop when I get frustrated which has had me slow down quite a bit, thanks for the tip!

[sumgai]

The "stay hungry" tip is pretty new to me. It makes sense, so I will definitely give it a go.

My only concern is that I often have issues starting back up again, even if I want to.

I've just recently bought a graphic tablet. I'm in no way professional but got a bit of skills on traditional but boy, OH BOY. The more I watch your videos, the more I practice and the more fun I have. It's just so refreshing and nice. There's so much to fit into your brain, you need a long time to actually see improvements and the results of the gained skills together BUT the sense of accomplishment is simply out of this world.

[michaelallan]

I feel like for your 4th point, it's less about "limiting the art you consume" and more about focusing on consuming art closer to your skill level. I definitely enjoy the artwork of highly competent, skilled artists, but it's with the understanding that their work is so high level that there's no point in comparing their stuff to mine or even trying to get to their level. They simply have too much experience and technical knowledge for the gap between us to be even remotely feasible to cross.
Instead, I have artists I enjoy segmented into loose "Tiers" depending on my perception of their skill level to mine. The closer the perceived skill level, the more likely I am to compare my work to theirs/use their work for reference. I find this immensely helpful as a motivating tool, as I am able to see the gap between myself and these artists (which was not too large to begin with) shrink at an acceptable speed. This way, it is fairly easy to feel a sense of accomplishment at the improvement of my skills while maintaining an understanding that there are more ways to improve in the future.
As you say, it's important not to compare yourself to those massively better than you. It's not constructive and will leave you more dejected than motivated (For most people, at least). However, I feel that so long as the skill level of the art you consume is not too far ahead of your own level, the amount you consume really shouldn't be a problem. I really enjoyed the other tips though. I'd say I've been doing them already to at least some extent, but to hear them as explicit tips is always helpful to maintain discipline. Thanks!

6:03 YES YES YES!

This is possibly the most important point here. I’ve ALWAYS felt like I haven’t improved, but by looking at the art you yourself made say, 1 day, 1 year, 1 decade ago, you can SEE that improvement. Without it, you will have a never ending cycle of feeling you’ve never improved and lose your motivation. That’s what happened to me for ~2 years.

[Life.Art.Knowledge]

I think the advice wich says ''learn like you will have to teach'' is the most usefull in my opinion, i've been doing it time to time and also something else it would be that...When you learn art, like learning anatomy or whatever...don;t lisent to music or any distraction, i know it can be a pain! But your brain works better that way and you will learn faster! love you channel, i'm just drawing for 2 years (1 digitally) and I just love what I'm doing, looking forward to see your videos!

[MystykAMV]

it's so true...whenever I draw something I stop way too early and I don't even finish them and later I don't feel like picking them up again because I feel like they are not worthy enough, but maybe I should get myself to actually progress more with them, this might as well be my first goal, thank you so much for all the tips!

[Zaire]

Apparently I have already accomplished these suggestions.
My digital pen broke 4 months ago, and I only got a new tablet this Christmas. I went 4 months with barely any drawing, and I was almost having withdrawal symptoms. I craved the option to draw so much that I actually had to distract myself.
Of course, I could have drawn traditionally, but that's like riding a kiddy trike instead of a motor bike, _at least for me, _ since I had no traditional materials. I pretty much spent those 4 months learning more theory and studying other people's work.

The 4 month gap also provided a good impression of how much I improved.
It's actually a pretty significant improvement, even though I don't think I've done that much. I'm filled with new confidence with my recent comeback to digital art.

Marc made a great point about references. 2 things stuck out to me in this great video:
1)I found out through practice, the best way to use references as well is to study them first, don't just jump into it. Spend at least a couple of minutes, that way you are able to see it more clearly. It allows you to view the important details, like patterns of value in clothing, or different planes in anatomy. If you "see" the reference rather than just "looking" at it, you illustrate more successfully.
2)When limiting the amount of artists you follow, find what you like about each artist. I have one artist I study for gesture, another for anatomy etc. That helps you create your own identity as an artist I feel.

[acrabdevis]

The state of mind tip...my gosh, I've been stopping when I had enough, often dissapointed, then I procastinate for days. I need to change that ASAP.

[farronhart]

0:00 LOL 😆
Steping away from ur art while ur having fun so that u crave it is a really creative and insightful tactic. At my last job i found myself getting so caught up in my art that i didn't wanna leave for work. But i had to and it would keep me thinking about my art and the possibilities of what i could do with it.

Also aproaching learning like there is more on the line is another great mindset hack.

As usual, great video! Ur videos have always been a beauitful balance of physical art techniques + mental awareness techniques. Ur videos always have value i don't quite see anywhere else!
