    I am someone who hasn't drawn consistently in years due to getting in my own head, perfectionism, and the fear of making something "bad", but keeps having those "I want to draw" moments
    You saying art is something you need to do, really spoke to me, so thank you for this video!

    I feel like I really wanna highlight getting used to seeing bad art, you’re going to make so much more ‘bad art’ until you see a good chunk of progress, just keep doing it, I actually have been getting back into drawing and even finished a sketchbook, and yes experiment!!! don’t put boundaries on yourself, most of the time when you think of drawing just say ‘screw it’ and pull out your drawing tablet/sketchbook whatever it is and go at it, wishing everyone best of luck with their creative journeys, y’all should be excited for whats to come

    This is so so motivational. I've been in a huge artistic slump for over a year. I used to be that girl who would sit and draw in her sketchbook at the playground instead of actually playing. And sometimes I think to myself: "am I making little me proud right now? I haven't drawn anything in months." This past week especially rather than spending my summer being wasteful with my time, I've started drawing everyday and I have already improved so much. Even if it's 1am and my wrist is hurting, my brain is still telling me to keep going. Because growing up, everyone would tell me how much potential and talent I had, and I really don't want to waste that. I'm going to make something out of myself.

    In all honesty I'm very skeptical of ~advice~ I come across on CZcams, but I think this video was something I really needed to hear. "Sacrifice" is a really scary word to hear (and I had actually been avoiding this video in my YT recommended because of it) but that's what it takes to be an artists sometimes, and I've been grappling with that fact a lot lately. I'm about to go into my sophomore year of college as an art major and I'm still scared out of my mind, but I want to be closer to myself. I want to draw forever. I've always loved drawing so much and I hate when I'm afraid of it. So I'm tired, I had a long day at work, but I'll be damned if I don't get up and draw right now, because it truly is what I want to do.
    If anything, thank you for getting me up off my ass. But also thank you for inspiring me. This really is an awesome video ☺☺

    I feel like this video came to me at the perfect timing.. As a kid, I loved drawing, I’d draw every single day, and I looked at my drawing and I thought “That’s what I want to keep doing for the rest of my life.” After getting into teenagehood, I started to become too perfectionist, and it made me lose motivation to draw. I’d try new things, but I would hate the results, so I’d just erase it all and pretend that it never happened.. It’s been a year and a half since the last time I actually drew something, instead of random doodles, and I feel like there’s something missing, a part of me is missing, because I don’t draw anymore. But every day, I wake up and my head keeps going “I’ll start to draw again” and so goes on. I’m afraid of hating the results but, we learn with our mistakes, and how can we reach “perfection” if we don’t practice? This video was the boost I needed, thank you so, so much!

    I love this video and I’m glad your sharing it with us! But I wish you were more specific with certain aspects of this journey bc it’s still pretty vague. I’m an also artist that’s really trying to improve, but I also suffer from ADHD which makes it hard to « just do something » and it would be SUCH a great help if you answered some of these questions if you don’t mind 🙏
    For example:
    -How long were you drawing everyday? 1 hour? 2 hours? 4hours? etc.
    -Did you finish one drawing everyday?
    -or did you work on one drawing throughout multiple days?
    - did you just draw whatever you wanted? Or did you also study on fundamentals during this time?
    - did you look up tutorials while drawing? Or just tried to figure it out on your own?
    Again thank you for sharing you journey with us and I’m proud of you for improving and I hope to be able to do the same! ☺️

    • @keren.socadjo
      @keren.socadjo  Před měsícem +1

      Thank u so much! Im so glad u liked it. Sorry for being vague I didn’t rlly expect the vid to get this many views 😅I’m happy to respond to any questions u have:
      1. I would always tell myself to draw for at least 15 minutes everyday. cause 15 minutes doesn’t sound like a lot, but i would always end up drawing for a longer time, and if i didn’t want to keep going after those 15 minutes i’d give myself Some time and wait til later or simply just wait til the next day. But those 15 minutes would always turn to 30mins - 1 hour etc. Bc whenever i wasn’t able to draw something I’d get super mad & look up tutorials for example 😅 and after Seeing How to draw something i’d use the New knowledge into a drawing.
      2. I did Not always finish the drawings on the same day. What i would do for longer drawings is i’d work on them alongside something smaller like i could do a warmup sketch and then get back to the long drawing.
      3. Sometimes i’d work on drawings for multiple days. There’s a portrait i drew of a girl w purple hair that took multiple days. I was pretty impatient though so i didn’t do this often. I preferred the one drawing a day thing bc i wanted to see How fast i could improve/ how much i could draw. Sometimes I would also leave drawings unfinished if I was bored of them.
      4. At that time i actually didn’t really know How to study fundamentals properly so i drew whatever i wanted. However when i would encounter obstacles such as difficulties w drawing ears i would always look that up & learn & then use the new knowledge in my drawing.
      5. I did look up tutorials sometimes, usually from an account here on CZcams called the drawing database. And if I saw an issue with my drawing & thought I could solve it myself I would always try.
      I was very obsessive and also rlly wanted to fill my sketchbook I remember. That kind of motivated me even more. Seeing how much I had been drawing & just the fact that I was doing what I promised myself I would do.
      Also since u have adhd I’d recommend watching this video from a creator I like that also has adhd:

    You got me asking myself "why do I gonna be so perfect at drawing right now?" Like, if tomorrow I just woke up and discover that out of the blue I just draw everything perfectly just like I dreamed abt all my life but I put no effort on it, would that rly make me feel something?
    I think we should just draw cuz we love it so much and keep drawing, and a result of constantly doing something we love is that we get to be better at it with time
    It's a reward for loving something, for showing our love for it
    Thank you for posting this, you rly inspired me to draw again and do more stuff that I love ♡

    i hate the possibility of creating something- I hate how I have hands and how I discovered I love drawing so freaking much. I lose my mind over lines on paper- I swear it drives me insane. I want to draw but it's so hard and I don't like any of them at all. I remember feeling so good but now it's just a dream. I can't draw, I haven't drew in a while. I wish drawing didn't exist at all but it does and im surrounded by it. this is insane. it's just lines over paper, I remember it being so easy. I don't know. i want everyone to stop drawing actually. it' so hard for me. I can't even let it go. even when I draw I feel like im pushing a big heavy rock. thank you anyways for this video. im sorry for the negativity- you can delete this. it's so hard im actually going insane. I stand still- I sit still on my desk lookin completely normal but im going insane over the idea of creating something. sorry

    • @keren.socadjo
      @keren.socadjo  Před 10 dny +1

      I think you’re 100% right don’t be sorry, cause while having the possibility to draw is amazing it’s also a curse at the same time. I’ve had that feeling multiple times, where everything I draw feels like trash. And I feel bad about myself altogether. U need to make the worst artworks ever and actually get comfortable with that. Allow urself to do that, it’s the only way. Bc as kids we never cared abt drawing well we just loved the process. Teach yourself to enjoy the process. I’m sorry you feel this way & I really hope you get to a point where drawing is fun again. Wishing u the best & thank you for ur comment ❤️
