Sycra Interviews Lois van Baarle ( Loish ) 

lol ikr I wonder if he got embarrassed when he messed up a couple times since she's rly famous too... ? he did say it was rly early.

+Frederick mayol i'd love to see that!

Yes! Ilya Kuvshinov's work is amazing

omg fulfill my dreams plz!

TayTay BeyNippy i agree it could even be a pet peeve for me when i see good artist but they dont have youtube or when they do they never use their voice to explain things :(

TheDestroyer73 I Agree

Yaaasssss

I think she has one actually

OneLastChance Can I have the link please.

+You tried we all pick and choose what to implement into our style, this style has been around for a long time. Never generalize every artist as in having a likeness of a specific artist style because genuinely it's a mash of a ton of artists. SHE HAD SAID, LOISH- Developing my own style Developing my own style wasn’t really a conscious decision I made, nor do I have any specific methods for it. Looking back, drawing a lot, being self-taught, and developing my own methods of handling software had a lot to do with it. As for suggestions, I think it's important to draw inspiration from the styles that inspire you most, and to draw inspiration from a variety of sources rather than just one or two. I think working intuitively is also very important: try to draw what feels good to you, instead of getting too technical or over-thinking the drawing process. This makes it easier to develop your own unique approach to drawing.

Wonderful artist!

She is an amazing artist and I freakin loved this interview!

you´re dayum pretty too seage ;)

MandarinCat from my expirience it happens to me and others so its normal but what you need to do if you havent by now is look at others work like she mentions in the vid also try to hang out with other artist as well! that way you might even get feedback from them,make new friends and overall improve right?

TheDestroyer73 I do have artist friends, and I do look at other's art once in a while. Looking at other's art with the skills I wish to achieve does help me get some motivation. But sometimes, I'm just too lazy. And lately, I'm just too busy. I still try though. I doodle sometimes in class and try to look at art in the internet whenever I have a chance.

MandarinCat hmm well maybe just set up your time after school finish hw then draw for a hour each day? or something to at least try to keep improving D:

TheDestroyer73 Unfortunately, my university gives me hell of work depending on the class and the professor. This semester's very busy. But I'll do my best to sketch something every day. It really is the only way to improve.

+MandarinCat we are basically the same person. like i read your comment and it was like i was saying it myself. the struggle is real but you just gotta push yourself, or maybe have someone else push you. sometimes a little help from others can go a long way. we can do it friend!

shut up miyn

I think you can see more progress sooner if you really focus on the fundamentals right now. I think the best way is to look up tutorials and try to duplicate the process and learn techniques. Paint from Life is one the most common suggestions I've ever been told by popular and experienced artists. I would suggest looking up art challenges on the internet that CHALLENGES you but within certain guidelines. If you are a commercial artists, you have some artistic-freedom WITHIN rules and boundaries. Clients want what they want, so learning to deal with restrictions while still reaching 110% potential in each piece is important to learn NOW. If you're not in art school, I also think KNOWING some of the prodigies of the world's artists is important. I learned more about U.S. artists than I did other countries, so I know about Leyendecker, Rockwell, Fisher, etc who were considered the early American ILLUSTRATORS. Also, do yourself a favor and create a piece that you are willing to duplicate every year- create a THEN and NOW painting that you can do every year that will show the progress, so when you feel like you have gone no where, you can look back and see what has improved. You can do a short-term one too- every 4 months you redraw the piece. You can do it, but you have to believe you can do it. You already have the understanding that it may take TIME. You're not sure how long, but if you start now you'll will reach a point in time where you are where you wish you were now. Progress never stops unless you stop.

ShackleKrow www.conceptart.org/forums/create-sketchbooks/257273-ghost59-sketchbook-3.html in the page. it shows what i did from 2011 to 2013 some of 2013.

I started learn fundamentals with 20 and now (1 year before) I easy get job offers. Just use your brain to learn and your hand to draw the rest does not matter. Beside, you never waste time when you are drawing what you want.

Dont take age so seriously, art like plant seeds, some of them hatch and open earlier than the rest, but the later seeds catch up with the first ones, at the end they all blossom the same, some on their 15, and maybe some on their 50s, so dont worry and just draw what you like and study at your own pace. Art aint a race its a marathon.

DigitalBerserk i see ForgottenWolf88 >__> i started art 3 years ago.

she actually said that the older you get, the harder it is.

***** Yeah thats true, but there are always two sides, if you are comfortable with your style its hard to get the rigid off, maybe thats because you got a style that gives you clients, changing style specially out of your comfort zone its harder because you can lose clients, and you have bills to pay.

IKR, and her work looks a lot like her (art vs artist?) I think that the more u grow to finally respect urself and your image, the more you can make your art look like yourself.

Some of them were actually self portraits. And yeah, she is sooo natural and sweet. But well, most dutch women are.

I hope you become as good as her in art!

Red Ruby Thank you so much! I try my best! I wish the same to you, good luck!

How are you now? My path is also very similar to hers

Trust me a lot of parents don't save for their children here in the US either. School is flippen expensive here unless you go to a community school. My parents were immigrants and couldn't offord to save money for us to go to school, so we are taking out loans and going off scholarship.. but still so so expensive. Art schools here are expensive, I'm sure art schools everywhere are expensive! But we're in the same boat you are..

ghostie7790 that's kind of sad considering parents know college costs money in the US! Here most public colleges FORTUNATELY are free, but for specific majors its just not good enough man why is highschool like the free trial of education that runs out after 4 years

so true! ):
