I love how many times he said "My Friend". It makes it feel personal.

Scott, i just wanna say - i wish i had found you and your art sooner. When i was in art college, i lost my passion, my drive and what made me inspired. i started making art that my professor wanted to see, sure i got a decent grade but i wasn't happy.
it wasn't until i was nearly graduating that a professor looked at my sketchbook and asked why i never brought it to my final work, i said "no one wanted to see it" - and all he simply said was "well i do. show me what you got."

so i did, and it was the most freeing semester i could have.

your words brought me back to that moment, thank you. <3

Selling AI art *does* make someone an artist; a con-artist

“Copy your favorite artist” maybe I’ll draw some of your work today.

[ThyLocalBard]

I'm slowly learning to draw people by copying photos of my favourite characters and actors. Learning how to draw objects by scrolling through photos and picking one that catches my eye. You're probably the first person who showed me it's actually okay to copy and not always make completely "original" work, and I've got to thank you for that, because that's the reason I'm learning.

Inspiration really does come from everywhere. Been in a dryspell lately, and a new b-grade sketchbook a friend got me has served as a new spark. Between its size and small number of pages, it feels easier to play around and be more risky, and it's made it fun again!
As for AI, the whole point of art IS the human experience. Removing that removes what makes art, art, no matter how good it is. So seeing artists come together over and over and fight for that humanity is incredible

Gosh, I just love all the big, poofy hair you draw. You're right; hair is really fun to draw, and seeing you do it so often makes it hard not to make it long and focal too

"Don't go feeding that beast!" 👍🏽

[kirbthebean]

My friend does art commissions and someone wanted a piece and once she sent them the sketch they just put it into an AI generator and didn’t message her again! It’s terrible what people do

Scott your literally one of my biggest inspirations I am a young artist that loves your videos ❤❤❤

[LightYagami-lovesMisa]

This really inspired me to go draw something! I love these longer videos it helps me concentrate when I'm drawing. Thank you Scott!

[Nothing-wwul]

I’m so happy to see you posting longer videos I get to watch more of your stuff for longer I love it!

wow that's such a good message scott, i'm so glad someone in the art community finally spoke about that, as long as you're making art and enjoying yourself it's okay😊 (and not stealing in a bad way only good way)

[jonig-mzwd]

What you did is a proof that a human art is better then any ai "art" you are amazing❤

[Finnick]

Scott I've said this before in another video, but I'll say this again, I am SO HAPPY that you are making long form It is inspiring me to make SO MUCH good art!! Thank you!!

[Nbdyhre]

The Ai image just feels so lifeless and creepy to look at but your drawing actually gives the character soul!

[charlieo.]

Love you Scott! So happy for you and Donna.

[Vlint_Vorgetson]

Thank you Scott! I have two pages of my sketchbook left (I’m trying to finish by the end of the month) and I am in a massive art slump. This video inspired me a lot, and I am going to try to finish one up now ❤

This is so true, don't be afraid to take inspiration or steal !
I'm working on a music that's basically my take on Billie Eilish's "No Time To Die" and I'm learning a lot by doing it, because I know how and why I "copy" aspects of the song

I love your opinions and suggestions on making art, especially since you find inspiration in the art of comics. I’ve been reading the comics—in newspapers and comic books—since I was a kid and at 79, as a retired Spanish teacher, I’m still doing it. Thanks for your support even though I know you didn’t intentionally send it to me. Your philosophy reaches out.
