I stopped regularly drawing as a teenager because I thought I wasn’t very good. 12 years later I went back and looked at what I used to draw and I was so upset with myself that I stopped - I was good. How good could I have been? So upsetting.
@@KeshArt OH MY- NO WAY! Anyway thanks for the advice, I usually draw whenever I feel lile it during the day to get the most motivation and effort in my sketching. I'll be sure to keep it up until I reach day 100. Thanks Kesh!
It truly baffles me that you are still on the way to 1M subs. You’ve come so far with your work and you’ve added so much value with your videos. I just don’t understand how more people aren’t seeing them.
One thing that kept me going for art was: It's ok to stop. Nobody is forcing you to do your passion. Sometimes life happens and the day gets too full. Sometimes I forget why I draw, because it has become monotone. I went out and did other things. I exerciced, got really fascinated on mechanics and cars/motorcycles/bikes/guns, got a meltdown because I had 4 projects due next week, caught up with people and socialized. But after a while (it was like around 3 months) I suddenly picked up a pencil. And then I remembered why I liked it. And that night I drew for 2 hours. I had experienced so many things that I was interested to draw and filled up 5 sketchbook pages back and front. I had a fresh view on my previous work too. Then it was the usual one page. What I'm getting at, is that the world and your skill won't end if you take a break. Be it 1 day or 6 months. Of course you could judge yourself and scream that you could have done SO much those 6 months and why you even should bother. But you did come back. And that's better than completely giving up on anything. (Besides that those 6 moths could have burnt out you even more if you decided to keep going without really making progress) But that's the view from a casual/only commisions sometimes kind of artist. (Though if you are a complete beginner, I would recommend you to really keep on pushing, because art really sucks at the beginning and if you quit constantly, you won't get any progress done and get then pointlessly frustrated. Build the habit and rules, then break them from time to time.)
I kept nodding all along.. I was at a rough time on the past and I took up watercolors I got so engrossed and I started seeing progress. Went on for close to an year of constant practice then I just left it. I got busy and so I just left it. I felt so bad aaboit not doing it but When I came back to it recently I realised hoe much fun it was and I thought I should not stress myself about not doing it so often I have this independence to come back to it if need to or take break if not. And its totally ok and no need to feel like I gave up on art. :)
This video was really interesting and helpful, Lots of ideas I have in my head right now! However, It's really hard to make them into an reality. For example, making my drawings/Animations to an RU-vid channel and the process.
I am nearly there to finish 100 heads as a total beginner. Took me a while. But if I would start the goal again I am sure I would be much faster by now.
I need an animator for hire, can someone help. I tried animation but it isn’t for me so if anyone can help bring my imagination to life. We could collaborate and agree on fair revenue sharing. Thank you
2:40 The "projects" tip was the most useful one for me. I do a lot of "aimless" crafting and doodling, and while it's fun, it doesn't always feel like I'm making progress - which makes sense, because I haven't set a goal to make progress *towards* . I'll have to work on that.
i have to much time on my hands to draw, only work one day a week and lately I’ve been lacking inspiration but when i do get that i can’t bring myself to do it.. don’t know why
Understanding that inspiration/motivation is a result of consistent action has helped get past this phase. Rick Rubin (a music production legend) often gives his musician to write 2 crappy lines of a song when they are stuck. Maybe you can try that as well, draw 10 shitty drawings in 10 days.
I couldn’t decide should I buy a laptop or IPad, I have old mini iPad but it is really old and screen isn’t working probably should I repair this one or buy new one or should buy a new laptop. As an artist what will you suggest?
I am a painter in many different types of drawing, and among the types of drawing that I love are cartoons, and I would like to be specialized in them, but I do not know where to start, although I have a consistent story. I would like you to tell me how to guide me to make an integrated work., your videos were really beautiful, I hope you see my message and give me advice.
As a novice artist 👨🎨 I would recommend 1. Think 💭 about what want 2. Break down it steps to get to the goal 3.put time and effort and practice to get good at what need to make what want 😊
Hey kesh I am enrolled in cartooning People its very good but can you make an ebook of all the construction sketch and include in course because everytime i have to practice i have to take multiple screen shots .
I like your advice on practice what you’re working on… I love this advice and imma run with it… imma practice everyday but what I’m working on. Thank you for sharing your tips. This my first video but I’m here to stay… happy drawing ✍🏽 🎉🍀👈🏽
I like your art of yourself, it really looked like you :D Personally I am on the crossroad of wanting to learn drawing to make art for my games. Still considering whether to go all-in or not.
@@KeshArt Opportunity cost. The time it takes me to learn how to draw can be spend improving on my programming skills instead (of which I am currently more capable in.)
If and when I become a very famous artist, your name is gonna be in the top list to get me up there and inspire me. Honestly I start to draw after 12 hr job only if I see your videos. They are just too very inspiring!! ❤🤘🏼
@@KeshArt been trying to find out fully, but for the most part there’s no satisfaction of a finished piece. I finish it and feel nothing afterwards, like getting off work
The big issue about wanting to get your drawling’s story ideas out is America doesn’t support you as especially not in the school system as will. therefore even if you have the most greatest art style an good story idea it won’t work for you unless you have special person in your life that are in the publish industry to help you to succeed in you’re drawing dreams of publishing your ideas.
I disagree. You don’t need publishers to publish a comic. You just need to have a finished comic and the willingness to put it out there. if it’s any good, it will do the rest.
Thank you for the tips, I'm currently working on a project and I'm trying to find time and motivation to reach the end so this video came to me on the right time
Sir I am in class 10 and really interested in all these 2d doodling and animation, as I don't have an iPad, I used to draw through my graphic tablet ( my father bought it for himself during lockdown for office work but now don't use it) but I feel difficult to draw with it, it doesn't feels like a paper, and due to much lesser friction and that plastic touch feeling. As a skillful artist can you please suggest some suggestions to help me cope with this.
I’m not a “pro” digital artist, but I do have a little tablet I plug into my laptop to draw digitally. It was hard for me too at first to get the hang of it. I found that just messing around with all the different brushes whatever art program you use offers; it helps you see what your program of choice can do and also lets you become accustomed to stuff like pen pressure and sensitivity. You can also mess around with the setting of your tablet or individual brushes to make it feel better for you.
