I love this guy's character. ... So positive.
Exactly brother same i felt .
Correct
Same here the stuff he says are true that how I feel
Dude, I love this video, I love your attitude . I started drawing about a year ago. Never took an art class until this past year and I find myself drawing all the time, mostly figures drawing, faces are my biggest challenge. "find something that drives you", find a mentor, "draw, draw, draw", "I want you to see what I see". These are great thoughts to live by.
Thanks for sharing the film Ray. Glad you enjoyed it.
I know right but I do graffiti
Ray Manyoky Hi, I just started a few days ago, any tips to guide me? How did you start?
Adebanji Alade - "I want you to see what I see" - you have just encapsulated what it is to be an artist. Thank you sir :)
this is so inspiring. mainly because the guy is so passionate.
This guy deservers mad respect
its one level to draw, its a whole new level drawing on a bumpy ride!
this is so inpirational like my whole body is just craving for drawing right now
Me tooooooo
He's right, draw, draw, draw I try to do it myself, even talent needs practice
hardwork beats talent
Yes, even I need practice.
Cheeky Ifa not when talent works hard
love his respect for his art teachers and mentors, absolutely nailed the point on consistent practice!
incredible guy...what an inspiration!
Thanks for sharing our film, Shannon. We're very proud of it - hope you enjoyed it.
I want to be an artist when I grow up because I love art so much
how's it coming along?
Your passion is infectious and I can relate to your story on so many levels. Thank you for sharing it.
You draw good
Very inspiring words. I too have a similar story. Comic books (the early Conan ones with the dramatic pen and ink), album covers, and then onto junior artschool, prior to college, I had 2 art teachers that changed my life and now 30+ years later I am still doing what I love to for a living. I've never had to "work" a day in my life. (although, being an artist is in fact hard work) Thank you for your post.
He's diverse in content. I'm really happy to have clicked on this.
if somebody want to be artist every day must draw
I never knew this artist before. He is fantastic!
Im at a mental hospital and I really thought medication is my solution.I don't need meds or drugs to make me feel better is art.....Ive let go of my essence of my passion but now I see my real self in you.from today on I will not stop drawing I will not let go of myself.thanks and god bless you in every dream.
What a wonderful story...your soul rises to the top my friend! Thank you!
Donna Lewis once you can see ,you can draw anything. if you can draw it ,you can paint.
what an inspiration! thanks so much for sharing!
If you ever leave art you can become a great motivational speaker. Your art is so good I love it, you definitely have become my mentor. Just keep it up, I am 60 years old an just get back into art, my career was that of a draftsman.
Respect !! True artists always searching for life in everything.
Your a natural born teacher mate. Go and inspire the children to draw make art. Wish I had you as an art teacher as a child.
What an inspiration you are Adebanji. And what a perfect mentor YOU would be. :-)
I love the way you feel it drawing comes from your heart "draw,draw,draw" Pation of drawing ,leaving together with the person you draw.,makes your hands talking.Veronica
this guy's great he has such energy. hopefully i'll meet him one day, i live in london too and want to be an artist more than anything
from 1 artist to another "truly inspired" i clicked on this video to see a different poit of view from another creator and by the end of this video you've left me with a better attitude and how to stay motivated, your sketches really do tell a story...
hands down ty for inspiration
No Dad Not Tonight you watch solar sands
love him
I want to be this passionate about my work someday. Thank you for sharing this story.
Adebanji you are an inspiration to me...what inspires me more than your art is your lust for it, your motivation to capture. Thank you.
Art isn't something anyone is born with - no such thing, like you don't come out of a vagina with a paintbrush. Art is a skill that can be learned by EVERYONE, as long as they put the effort into it. Just remember that every artist started by being 'bad'. Make a lot of mistakes at the beginning, but learn from them. Evaluate each piece and tell yourself the parts you need to improve on. It can get overwhelming, so try to split it into categories and dedicating a month to faces, a month to environments etc. Even longer if you want to improve the basics you'd learn over the said month.
really true
He embodies passion.. the way he draws, talks and explains.. he is passion in a human form
I love this guy for trying to sketch anybody he sees! ^^
So glad I watched this, his energy is addicting
that passion in his eyes *^*
I'm so in love.
This made me love drawing even more than I already did 😍
I am in a wheelchair and I love to paint and draw thank God.
Ron Patton it's amazing to see people praise God unashamed and joyful😄😄😄
@Crohn I hope you find God :) whatever that means to you
The passion in the words of this man.... that is what being an artist means!
Love the accent and the tempo of his voice. he speaks with clarity and honesty .
Beautiful artwork. He seems like such a pleasant person.
Adebanji! Hurray! I'm so proud of you. Nigeria is proud of you and Yoruba is proud of you
Your motto "Draw, Draw, Draw" made me inspired. Since I read it in the Urban sketchers page, I have been drawing and sketching in any place and time on my sketch books. You become my strength. You have drawn me to the tribe of Artists. Thank you. God bless you. I hope one of my brothers from abroad will send me your book, "The life of an Addictive sketcher..." I will share a lot from it. Thank you so much again.
Adebanji Alade is so great..!! Hat's off to this guy .. More than a million times..
This is Life of an real Artist
His energy is contagious! I hope to bring the same to the table with my art! ☺️
Loved it! the way he says it - you can feel the passion!!
I like his take and approach to mining on his hard earned talent. what a way to farm for inspiration and tell countless stories, starting with mankind itself.
a fantastic talent and passionate artist, so refreshing to see genuine black talent w/o the machine (the computer) intervening there are so very few of us left who can do the damn thing, pencil to paper no chaser ...no bullshit !!!!
