Katsuya Terada - Life Drawing 

Beautiful message. Asking yourself "am I better than yesterday?"...that is excellent motivation to continue to work on what you're good at.

Haven’t left a RU-vid comment in years. This was incredibly moving.

I think there's something special to be said about a channel that constantly continues to put out quality content with each new video and still find ways to make them all unique. Of course having many different people with different views and ways of life helps but even just the way the videos are shot gives the videos some style and life to them. I'm not sure if that makes sense but that's just how I feel. Keep up the great work and huge thanks to everyone who works their hardest on making these videos; they seriously brighten my entire day. And if it can be considered I would very much love to see a big project like a huge hour long documentary or something in that vein. Regardless, much love to every single one of you at Archipel/toco toco. Thanks for everything!

It's amazing how honest he is. Truly inspiring. Thanks for this video.

Very intense,, and dynamic. It made me very aware of the three combinations: observation and experience, the feeling state and the process. Katsya Terada talks about the will to draw and then trusting the flow . It is also very interesting to hear his reflections of criteria for drawing.- to remember what a place or an event feels like, to begin the drawing without a plan, just drawing each little part focused, and keep the will, perseverence and concentration in the process - and the hope to continue drawing always drawing, with the motivation to make a better drawing

This is a stunning piece of film. I'm so glad there's content like this.

Это большая удача, что я набрел на ваш канал. Как здорово, что делаете русские субтитры!Благодарю, что позволили услышать мысли великих этих мастеров!

I wish and hope he knows the impact and influence of him sharing his artistic journey to aspiring artists around the world. Stumbling upon this video has, in a way, rescued me from totally abandoning my true passion which is art, drawing, painting, etc. It is ironic that drawing is one of the quickest expressions of transcribing one's thoughts into the paper, and yet it takes years to master this craft, not only in the technical aspect but also in terms of concept. He probably doesn't regard himself as a role model but I find so much inspiration and motivation from his words, philosophy, and artistry. I wish him the best and thank you very much for sharing this incredible video. It is just what I needed.

I just found this channel and I have to say how much I love these videos. Poetic, calming and reassuring. I find peace by watching, and willpower.

Ya que he empezado con tema de dibujo hace tiempo y me encuentro con esta joya... De verdad Aprecio DEMASIADO, que se hayan tomado la molestia de hacer los subtitulos, hacer llegar esta increíble historia de superación a diferentes culturas, tomas de escenas hermosas, el dialogo con cortes en el momento preciso, hace que te inmersas como si estuvieras sintiendo la desesperación de Katsuya Terada al querer superarse cada día, esto me deja una gran lección y es nunca rendirme... aprecio mucho este trabajo... Gracias

Спасибо за русские субтитры и за это потрясающее видео.Katsuya Terada действительно легендарный художник.

“The only way is to leave it to the flow...”

When i watch your videos, i always have the feeling, like i have to calm myself down and watch it all. 🤤

I still can't believe how much you guys improve which each video you make, and making one with Katsuya Terada is a dream come true. Thank you for this and hope to see more in the future!

Fascinating to watch people with artistic inclinations or talents who have developed their skills to this level.

燃え尽きることのない絵への執着、素晴らしいです

I love how he interacts with his subject matter. No decisive hesitation, I heard him the say the word flow ,which mean he feels what he sees and responds. He puts down deep soulful marks and when you step back and view his work bingo powerful. There is an America artist who’s style is different but draws with the same fluid hand using line.Walter Anderson the reclusive Mississippi Gulf coast artist read his story also. Powerful artist.

Spectacular dragon design perfect execution of the rounded tip zebra paper mckee black marker and the way he switches to the chisel tip for different parts of the drawing shows extreme thoughtfulness. Such careful attention to detail can be called nothing less but masterful. His drawing is a story worth remembering , his graceful line is like a dance shared to make the world a better place.

Absolutely beautiful throughout - the flow and attention - such understated elegance - like a zen puzzle - yet so clear.

Superb art work and philosophical approach on his illustration.

I love terra-san's work so much! The setting and the lovely way this was filmed really enhanced that very special feeling his work conveys. So beautiful!

"am i better than yesterday?" i feel like its a question i ask myself everyday,, such an inspiration to me and also cant get over his breathtaking works,,, hopefully ill be as good an artist as him someday

I'll put in practice his philosophy, just love it. 👍👍👍👍💖

Katsuya Terada is great inspiration - a man who simply want to experience new things in life rather than sitting in one room, not going out and just sit in front of computer. I admire this type of mindset. As a bonus I can tell that it's really important to remember what he said here " Although I am bored, the will to create something better than the previous one is a motivation "

Katsuya terada, Kim jung gi, Karl kopinski...those trio are my favourite artist

This guy is really a guide for us who draw, his way of thinking is so inspiring...thank you terada to show us the path of creation.

Absolutely awesome, both artist and filmakers. Thank you so much!

Katsuya Terada is an amazing artist who has taken the line to a personal level of nothing short of his own brand of imaginative magick. The beauty of this style , the contrast of dark and light and how it reflects the realism of the subject matter is very nice.

A wonderful piece of art... Such a nice motivation

I don't remember subscribing to this channel but I'm glad I did. It's amazing how you guys were able to interview the man behind the name, the one and only Katsuya Terada. I've been following him for some time. His art style is so uniquely his. It was also interesting to hear him talk, as I've never been able to see him as well as hear his voice. Thank you Archipel

Maravilloso!! Me ha transmitido la paz que necesitaba, Maestro

I love your videos. SO MUCH. They're so calming, and interesting in so many different ways. I feel myself taking a step back and becoming a little more peaceful when I watch them.

Master! that's Katsuya Terada. one and the only. awesome video.

I can never stop watching whenever I see this video. Great insight into art, Thank you so much for this.

Beautiful video, beautiful art.

Awesome video! I was excited to watch this when I saw Katsuya Terada in the title. I love his work, and have a bunch of his artbooks. You did a wonderful of showcasing his style, skill, and personality. And now I really want to go visit that island.

The melancholy, weight and sadness in his words made me cry. I admire his will but I can feel so much heavy emotions inside him 💔

Beautiful vídeo! Relax! Lovely! Thanks Katsuya!!!

You make the most eloquent, beautiful and "in depth" video documentations on great artists/creators I have ever seen!

This vid -and Katsuya Terada-is such a treasure. Thank you for posting

This is magical.

Toujours aussi excellent, merci !

Un génie! A genius! Merci d'exister.

Such a personal look into terada's mind as an artist. Thank you for this video

Спасибо. Thank you. Arigato.

To katsuya terada and anyone like him, instead of worrying think about how much fun your going to be having with your drawings going forward, also put your mental space in a place where you remember all your past work as a joy rather than a negative, truth is katsuya, your doing perfect already but you just want to keep going, develop not just a keen eye for art but a joy in what your working on, who knows that may even unclog your vision on your past works, I love all the works I have seen from your past, very good drawings, your doing well, I will get that artbook now, excuse me!

Love this!

I loved what he said towards the end. You would think that a master like him feels fulfilled with his success and progress but he struggles with the same things we all do.

Another great video. it was so calming, beautifully shot and deeply introspective. I've been a fan of Katsuya Terada for a long time , this video does justice to such a master.

Très beau et poétique. Merci pour cette vidéo et la traduction en français. C'est intéressant de voir ces artistes qui ont chacun leurs modes de vie, leurs manières de dessiner et d'arriver à leurs fins. Merci

Nossa!,Que desenho maravilhoso!👍❤

lovely drawing, lovely view 👍👍👍

Definitivamente la vida es muy corta para llegar a cristalizar en todo su esplendor la magia poética que trae consigo el dibujo.

Thank you great artist.

Wolderful video. Great information from this great author

✨ Gracias por compartir y poder observar su técnica en el dibujo, la naturaleza extremadamente maravillosa ✨🙌🏼... espero esté bien ✌🏻.

Realmente Hermoso el arte que plasma en cada trazo

Mirar al futuro... Gracias maestro

Thank you so much for this video. Thanks for inspire artists all over the world. Arigato master Terada

今までも好きでしたけど、今後にも期待しています。

truly inspiring, ty for the video

Katsuya Terada X Archipel is a dream come true! Thank you so much for every video you made and thanks once more for this video! Keep up the great work!

Mesmerizing

His dragons are the best!

寺田克也の描く絵をみて、人生変わった。

I've been looking for these kinds of videos for how many years ❤ thank God youtube finally placed relevant reccomendations for once. It is such Good inspiration for young artist.

Beautiful.Thank you very much.

this is absolutely stunning to me. nice cinematography and visual story telling

Incredible line work, no wonder van Gogh and others were influenced by folks from Japan and the East. 👍👌

This is beautiful photo, music and editing in every way! One sub more!

This work is incredible , I love this detail . I have always been into illustration since I was a teen , in the days of Heavy Metal magazine and Epic magazine it was my escape from the mundane world of suburban long island. This art as well as the likes of frazetta and Bell will always have a place in my heart that takes me back to the beginning of my career. I have a love for this art that I keep sacred and I don't corrupt it with money or making it something I have to depend on to make money. It's nice to sell art to someone who loves the work , but I know for me there are dangers in this. It has to be a balance maintained and monatery expectations as well as deadlines and commissions make it hard to see the work as something other than work. That's just how it is for me , it doesn't speak for other artist. Every man or women carries they're own subconscious understanding of things .

Beautiful, thank you

The art of this man recalls that of Moebius and Andrea Pazienza. Nice.

The final artwork is a mesmerising masterpiece. I don't know what impresses me the most: the beauties of Japan or the beauties within the Japanese artists that come to life with their art. Thank you so much, it was a privilege to follow such a great artist's personal journey... 🙇🏻‍♀️👏🙏🏻💯✨

incredible video. Katsuya Terada is an absolute master. Such a well crafted video. You guys are the best

Best youtube channel I know of. I hope you will be able to continue documenting artists' ways of living and working.

Excellent drawing 👍

Great video. I'm a great fan of drawing. Watching Mr. Terada drawing was unique. Gotta watch more like this.!

This video have so much power that it can't be describe by words, thank you're one of my favourite art channels on whole web.

Wow! You're videos are beautiful and honest, a holistic and natural portrayal of how various designers and artists deal with their work and surroundings. Thank you for another great video 👏👏👏

That was really something beautiful. I didn't know about Katsuya Terada before your video. Thank you for your work. Greetings from Russia.

Excelente! Gracias por la traducción 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

All these video looks so good man i feel like there's more to it, like im shown how beautiful things can be ,compared to how i view the world.

Спасибо!

Your videos help me feel hopeful, Archipel.

Merci d'avoir ajouté des sous titres français avant je regardais pas beaucoup à cause de ça mais maintenant je vais regarder toutes les vidéos

Sublime, es el recorrido de autosuperación y dar más aún, seguir trabajando, entregándose de lleno hasta alcanzar el último instante de vida plasmado en un trazo, me identifico con este estilo de vida, quiero darlo todo, me lo pide a gritos mi ser interior, se que ando desviado de mi verdadero camino, pero en ese momento en ese instante en el que este encaminado en el verdadero sendero, no habrá marcha atrás para mí.

cool~ i like the lifestyle!

Rich and amazing!

O conteúdo de vocês é inspirador

I love your channel, you do a great job. Greetings from Spain.

amazing video, very inspiring! thanks for this :D.

This was wonderful to listen to. Too much confidence in what I am about to do on paper or canvas never works. Fear and anxiety have always led me to better places. It’s a personal thing, its not for every artist.

I just realized I've been doing "live drawings" ever since I was a kid. Filling the margins of notes in college, filling up small scraps of paper at work. I think everyone with this inclination can do what he does.

Beautiful scenery and art. Fascinating look into the mind of an artist. Excellent video.

Un mot : magnifique.
