I did not know of Dish before she started doing art again, but I have to say her stuff is the realest art content. It’s really showcases the hard parts and that’s something everyone needs to see
I knew her both on genshin and now art which is better since we have the same hobby ❤❤

My teacher used to tell me, "Art isn't finished, it's surrendered" you're doing great dish and motivated me again.
that's FIRE
@@dishcreates Hoooo my gosh dish replied to meee
OVERCOME THE BLANK PAGES!
This video is healing.
Three years ago, I swore to myself that I would never touch a pencil again but you're giving me the motivation to start drawing again, so thank you!
Good luck in your journey!
wait... why would you even swear that in the first place?
I was in Applied Arts in high school and we had 4 art/design teachers. The 'main one' was a bit... haughty, arrogant, I'd say. Like... every drawing that wasn't realism wasn't art or a good drawing. Or, if your parents weren't rich or at least fellow art teachers, then she wouldn't be afraid to humiliate you. Even better, she would personally help the students with art teachers as parents.
(At some point, I had to miss one month of school because I had to get surgery on my tailbone and she gave an assignment with really vague instructions so despite being on medication, I tried my best to complete it, only for her to scream at me twice over 30 minutes when it was time to turn it in.)
When the pandemic hit and we had to into confinement, my class, which had 30 students, was divided into 4 groups and unlucky me ended up with that teacher. We were approaching the graduation date and she worked us to the bones just so she could brag to the other teachers over 'her girl power group' having finished before the other groups. Like, I would wake up at 5 am, start drawing at 5:45, draw all day without break until midnight/2 am, from Monday to Sunday. I also had to deal with family problems (my niece and my nephew got kidnapped) so I was so stressed that I lost half of my hair, I had to cut it. I would cry while drawing or before going on video calls with her, I had migraines and all. She was also such a hypocrite, complaining and moaning over having stomach ulcers because she was 'soooo stressed for us' then would turn around and say 'Oh, stress? Anxiety? That's just the illness of this century, you'll get better.' in a disinterested manner when we would tell her about our mental state.
Fun times, fun times.
(Sorry for the novel!) So yeah, I'd say a case of extreme burnout with a little pinch of trauma. Until a few months ago, and now with this video, I hated seeing pencils, especially the ones I used during high school.
@@meh2939 oh my... That is quite bad 😞
Firs of all sorry for your niece and nephew kidnap.. i hope they are alright now
Second.. that teacher is an narcissistic ego dictator who feeds of people's sadness..
"She will deny any art who didn't look realistic"
In my opinion none can bring 100% realism art.. that's called photography
And if a cartoon is drawn, is still art... That's why kids loves them so much
I dearly suggest you to start draw again, this time at your own phase doing ur own art (personalized one)
I am a noob myself.. but i am so hungry to teach myself how to draw better
Have a great day there
@@Tiger4ever89
Thank you for your kind words!
Yeah, I am now starting to draw again. It's so much more fun when there's nobody to criticise me, aha! It's a bit hard because I still have that weird mindset of 'If it's not realism, it's not good' but I'm getting there!
I hope that one day, I'm talented enough so I can create comics!🤔 Fingers crossed!
Well, good luck in your journey as well! Let's reach our goals, friend!🤞 and have a great day as well!
@@meh2939 i believe that day might come soon
And thank you also!
This is such a comfy journey , it's like I've got an art friend now .
copics are very expensive but if you want to use alcohol based markers, i 100% recommend ohuhu markers. they’re basically the same thing but cheaper. i got mine a few years ago and still work really good:)
i second this! i got a set of 40 for super cheap and they're really good quality, definitely recommend
honestly you are braver than the marines for drawing in public, even as someone who’s been an artist for 10 years i could never leave the comfort of my room
So have you been a marine too??? Because that was some dumbass shit you just said
"i will be making ugly drawings" proceeds to make drawings that aren't ugly at all.
i know its hard when youre critical of yourself, but dish you are genuinely so much better than you think you are. and youre consistently improving and becoming even better
i think you’ve started to become one of my favorite comfort artists. there’s something about the way you introspect-the way you analyze how you’re thinking, why you’re feeling this way, how you can improve on it-that’s just so comforting to me. the struggle you mentioned about confronting the finality of things resonated with me so much. i’ve had wips lying around everywhere lately because i’ve so scared of the rendering process. i have this nagging fear that it’ll turn out so ugly and i’ll have wasted time i could’ve dedicated to something else worthwhile. but the reality is, there’s no where else that i’d rather dedicate this energy to other than my art, because it’s really the only thing that gives my life some kind of meaning-the only thing that keeps me going, ironically enough. each video you upload makes me remember how important it is to take that first leap of faith and be patient with yourself every other step after that. it’s a comforting reminder that really nothing is final, and it’s only how you feel or think about it that makes it final. thank you, dish, and keep going
Sketchbooks are also my worst fear but seeing you continue to conquer them makes me want to do so also. Thank you Mrs. Dish!
That's why I draw on cheap printer paper ah. 500 for 5 dollars :) but they are the lowest quality but atleast I don't stress at ruining expensive paper 😢
Whenever I start a new sketchbook, I always feel intimidated by the first blank page because in my mind it’s like “that’s the first thing people will see. What if it’s absolute garbage??”
So the way I fight that, is by flipping to the next page lol. Starting on the second page is less daunting than the first, and as I fill in my sketchbook, I’ll eventually come up with an idea on what to put on the first page I left blank where I usually decide to do a finished drawing + note down when I started to when I finished the sketchbook
sometimes i forget that art can take time and that i don't have to finish one piece in a single day. i really should take my time and enjoy the process
This might be the most relatable video I have ever watched… the whole battle against perfectionism… especially during the sticker part. That’s literally my goal for the year: get comfortable with mediocrity. It’s better to do it badly, than to not do it at all. This is my biggest struggle. It debilitates me in every aspect of my life, not just creative but like anything… “I want to clean/draw/make/write/do this but I don’t have the time/ability/knowledge/confidence to do it well so maybe later…” When you say “I am a perfectionist,” it seems to imply that you produce amazing results… but actually mostly you end up avoiding trying in the first place. I wish us both luck lol
"anything that enriches you is not a waste of time" this. I needed this to be said by someone so badly, thank you dish
As someone just a few years ahead of you on her art journey, I have to applaud you for conquering the fear of sketching in public. I love the idea of doing it but I’ve always been too self-conscious to try. Also, I miss Michael’s having 40% off one item coupons-that’s how I used to get copics
I think a sketchbook is nice step. Nice to learn faster and be more chill about the result. I love my sketchbooks and have more fun with them than drawing digitaly because its fun to flip through and revisit memories/moments :)
I really understand your strive for perfectionism, and I'm still struggling with it too. You are doing very well.There is no way art can be bad, its just a perception. It's less about being correct and more about how you really feel. Let's work hard together dish!
Dish you really improved! I’ve been doing art for years now and I was always scared of being imperfect and too bad, but I’ve overcome my fear and I am way more confident now. I must say, I don’t expect your art to become so much better in just one video, but I really really see the improvement you made, it’s shocking! I’m proud of you💝
Yep same been drawing for 3 years and seems I can't improve despite doing it everyday. Takes a mental toll when you draw for so long without reward. It's like having a job outside working hours without any money. But 3 years it's a lot :( I don't blame anyone for quitting when they dont see much improvement. It takes obsession to make it a actual career
@@sael5084 I feel the same way, but what helps me is to think about the fact that I HAVE improved. It may not seem like it, but it’s just a slow progress, and everyone improves at different rates. Keep drawing and lots of love ❤️
@ye I see but can't feel that way... some days I draw really bad some days its isn't awful. But there are drawings I did better than I do today from a year ago. I'm learning it all wrong and messed up order...
I’ve been doing art since I was 7 years old and my art still isn’t my taste bcs I was doing it in the wrong way 😭😭😭🥲🥲🥲
@@Crystal-fj8hb same with me for 3 years and still going nowhere
Heya! Local casual artist here! I'm so proud of you for overcoming your fear of the sketchbook! I still get nervous whenever I blackline any of my art, so the fear is very real. I have a personal experience that I call "The curse of the first page," where I get so intimidated about starting a sketchbook perfectly that I just don't use it. If this happens, I recommend just skipping to the second page and starting there! It makes a world of difference.
I'm very impressed by your progress and your honest journey is very inspirational! Keep doing what you love💕💖
Mrs. Dish
I have to say in total honesty
You art looks like it have improved significantly since the start!
Very proud
You inspire me😊
Hi Dish, I’m in middle school so I don’t have any good words of advice but, just keep drawing. Easier said then done, but seriously, you can just keep drawing and drawing, and overtime, you will improve. Literally, I only started being slow with my art process when I got more insecure and scared of what others think, and being a perfectionist, but I’m learning to slowly let go of that and I’ve definitely improved when I started letting go.
Biggest mistake I made with art was becoming too academic.
You got it right with your obsession video. Learning should be like play.
I now do mini projects im unqualified to do, then learn by filling in the gaps.
I stay way more focused and don't burnout.
Great vid as aways!
Hi dish! As someone who mostly draws non-digitally, it was fun seeing someone the complete opposite!
I don't know if it'll help, but I like to see my sketchbooks as a sort of diary. I always put the date at the top of the page (that way I can keep track of my progress) and write little notes on how my day went, or something I'm looking forward to - as if the sketchbook is a person and I'm sharing all my excitement with it! To get passed the fear of starting a new sketchbook, I also like to plan out a simple illustration as the first page to make it more exciting! Perhaps if you tried this in the future you could try a genshin or omori related drawing? It's ok if it goes wrong because then, when you finish the sketchbook, you can look back and think 'wow! look at how much I've improved!'. Maybe that's kinda weird, but for me these things makes my sketchbooks feel more personal, and as a result, less intimidating.
Hope this helps!
(also omg your art is improving so fast!!! what a legend~)
this is such a nice way to think about sketchbooks that i've never considered! i might start thinking about it in the same way, i always fear my sketchbook pages won't be 'perfect' enough
@@eperkons I'm glad you like this idea!! Getting passed the 'everything must be perfect' feeling can be really hard, so give it a go! I wish you all the good vibes on your sketchbook journey :)
This is the crushing feeling of fear and anxiety that I am trying to face on my own art journey. All of this feels very relatable to me. When I was younger, i think I was free to enjoy my art for what it was and just make stuff for the hell of it and not worry about how good or bad it was. i tried hard but didnt pressure myself too hard. At a certain point, that carefree attitude died and i became crushed under the weight of my own and what felt like the worlds expectations on my art. Its so much pressure that i dont really make anything anymore. I have this internal voice that seems to yell at me saying "Its not perfect and if its not perfect, its a waste of you and everyone elses time."
The other part that makes this tough is how alone i feel in these feelings. I know other people sturggle with pressure as well but (irrationally) i feel like the only person who is actually bad at art when they say its bad. It feels like i see others say "My art is bad" but i look at it and think its pretty good but when i say "My art looks bad" it like actually looks bad. like everyone else around me is actually an amazing artist who think they suck and im an artist who sucks and they know it.
I can relate to that sticker fear so much. (i literally have a pile of stickers that i can see right now that i have never used for fear of regret when i finally used them).
I want to get back to doing art and i want to find the fun again. I have things i want to express but i worry that if i cant make it perfect, then no one will care or understand. i know perfect doesnt exist. i know my feelings are irrational and i should just grab a pencil and start drawing. That the only way to improve is by doing it but this all consuming fear of imperfection and judgement holds me back.
I believe i need what you are doing, this journey that you are on. I dont know if i can become a great artist but i know if i do nothing like i have been i wont even be an artist at all. I believe the regret i would feel at never making art again would be worse than if i never became a great artist, so i am hoping that will spur me to act.
I want to get back to drawing comics, writing stories, and making games. I want the courage to push past my mistakes and to not judge myself for messing up too harsly. To draw something i feel like I can actually be proud of, even if its far from perfect.
I think you are doing great and I admire your bravery. Im certain that you will move forward as you go. Thanks for sharing your journey. it does make me feel less alone knowing that other people are struggling with similar things. I wish you well.
Thank you for sharing! Ive been struggling with my art journey recently, it’s just nice seeing other people’s perspective and i cant wait to see more of what you do
idk why, but it feels comforting just listening to you share your thoughts about learning art.
This series really helps me with my art cause I struggle a lot with "is it worth it" It doesn't really matter as long as I enjoy it.
i find ballpoint pens are more forgiving than the kind of pen you were using in the beginning!
honestly its so nice to see your progress. the things you said about perfectionism really stood out to me and it motivates me to also try to push past those expectations i place on myself. its great seeing you learn art. thank you for your videos. - your style for them is very unique and comforting.
these videos are so comforting, especially because i’ve had such a similar journey with my art. seeing you go through the same struggles that i had- and still have to push through- is so reassuring, and shows me that i’m not alone. thank you, dish
Blank pages are so scary but I'm grateful that I can be the witness of your journey because these videos inspire me so much! I can't draw but I want to become an author and after like 3 years I start to learn to like my writing again and muster up some self-esteem in that area. Maybe I should start writing in a notebook instead of using my laptop..
honestly this is the most realistic video about art I've ever seen in my life and it's so comforting
Honestly, the struggle of trying to teach yourself something as abstract and fluid as art is just so hard- It's great that you're picking up art again. I always thought I was alone with the unused stickers thing, I have so many that I adore from anime and genshin conventions yet I never use them. It's like I'm afraid to, and maybe that's the case, idk 😶
I've been feeling really burnt out from doing any drawing myself recently and have been so hesitant to draw anything in my sketchbook. However your return to art has made me feel inspired so I plan to get back to my drawing ASAP! So thank you Dish and I hope you enjoy your art journey!! :)
YOUR ART IS GETTING SO GOOD IT'S CRAZY
Dish, your videos brought tears to my eyes.
For ages, I drew and colored quite a bit.
But during the Pandemic, I had to change 3 different jobs. Due to staff shortages (which still persist, sadly), my workload at my workplace has tripled. It's left me exhausted, even my hands struggle with aches and strains and callouses. I neglected drawing and skills have some atrophied.
But seeing your videos have encouraged me to return to drawing, and not worry about perfectionism.
My struggle with perfectionism has prevented me from a lot of things in life, but thanks to help from my closest friend, I am letting go of perfectionism and doing things I love. Your videos are one of the most fortunate things I've come across. You make me want to return to creating art and returning to my obsessions for inspiration. Thanks a million, Dish!
I'm on a very similar journey right now, trying to overcome perfectionism in all aspects of my life, but very much so in my art as well. I really appreciate the level of vulnerability you have in sharing your art journey. I also have commitment issues with stickers so I think I'm going to do that little exercise of letting go and decorate my sketchbook!! thanks for inspiring me today! 🥰
as someone currently on the art portfolio grind, it's really heartwarming to see you documenting your art journey - it really reminds me of what it felt like when i first started, the excitement and the frustration and all :,D
i think what's really great is the habits you've already built up, like keeping a sketchbook, doing observational drawing and photo studies on top of drawing things that you want! i personally avoided doing studies and even touching human anatomy for a couple of years since i was so intimidated 😭 so i think it's very impressive how you're already doing these things, and they look great!! keep at it!!
I swear this video came out at the perfect time for me. "It has to be ugly before it's beautiful" are words I struggle to accept. I don't trust the process and I am anything but comfortable with making "bad" drawings. I don't doodle enough and I find it very hard to just let go and let decisions happen. So, thank you for this series. It's awesome watching you improve. Your videos are a nice dose of motivation whenever I get art block. It's always comforting to be reminded that the struggle is something we all share, and something we all can overcome.
This video literally brought tears to my eyes. So happy to see you learning art in a way that honors you, your interests, your personality, and your methods. Thank you for sharing your experience and journey with us, I especially appreciate how vulnerable you are with your audience and yourself. Perfectionism is such a double-edged sword! But you got it, chica! Way to notice and work on improving your art AND yourself ie the way perfectionism can sneak up on a person in seemingly unsuspected ways & prevent one from living their best life!
dish your videos are always so comforting and the part about the blank page is sooo relatable😭
ok guys i'm a dish kinnie
the dish motivation is real litterally thank you so much for creating this channel 🙏💘💘💘
I love this channel; it makes me feel less alone in my struggles as an aspiring professional artist. Thank you for making the content you do, and thank you for not cutting out any of the quote-unquote "bad art" and struggles, because it helps me realize that others can struggle with these types of things too. Just..thanks :)
As a fellow artist myself, im super glad you’re starting to take up art again! Art can be overwhelming and often a huge struggle with yourself, but you’re not alone, we all compare ourselves, we all have fears of a blank page, but one day all that insecurities and worries will be worth it. There’ll be a moment where you stop, look back and truly fall in love with your own art, so don’t give up dish! You’re doing amazing ❤
I just wanna leave a comment here saying how wholesome this is. Seeing you being so determined in what you are doing and having fun making this series never fails to bring a smile to my face. Go go dish we're here for you! :DD
Aww the cup with the book is so cute 🥺🥺 Also as an artist I feel like I'll never be 100% happy with my work. I feel like you'll always be able to see your mistakes. But the important thing is you see your improvement and learn from your mistakes ~
i bought a sketchbook and some pens and pencils over a week ago and haven't touched them, and youve inspired me to crack it open and take a stab at it today. i thought about how in middle school i was so much more unafraid to just draw what i liked and wondered why it was so intimidating to me today when literally no one cares about what's in there (': thank you so much dish for these videos, learning and practicing alongside someone else who is doing the same makes it so much easier
I recommend you get a multimedia sketchbook or a watercolor sketchbook. Then you could get a portable watercolor kit and draw anywhere with colors that are a lot cheaper than markers. I also think mixing the colors will help you a lot with color theory. Love your videos! I’ve been addicted to drawing for as long as I have memories and now I’m 24 so I’ve been drawing for a while😂 Hope this helps.
dish you have no idea how much this art content ur making inspires me, i'm also learning art, i used to draw when i was a kid, but stopped bc of fear of failure, now as a teen, i'm trying again and now i get that everyday is an improvement, everyday you're getting better as long as you dont give up, seeing you drawing just motivates me to keep drawing and getting better along with u :)
its so fun to watch these and see your progress. remember, slow progress is still progress
It's so good to see you improve this much! Love watching your art videos just as much as your gaming content - they're always so chill and lovely - makes me want to use my sketchbook too!
You've inspired me so much to get back into art over the last few months both with the series you did and now this channel, so today I gripped my credit card hard and I bought a drawing tablet for my PC because I just, I am determined to get better and I've always felt like my digital art looked so weird but I've gotten better and I felt: I've wanted to for so long so why not reward myself with a Wacom tablet, Thank you so much for inspiring me Dish
god, dish, words aren’t enough to express how thankful i am i found your channel. i’ve been trying to actively learn art for a year now, and lately i had been feeling really discouraged because i couldn’t really see any improvement. i sketch almost daily, but you just made me realize what i was missing: risk. i didn’t wanna risk “ruining the drawing” so i didn’t shade properly, or colored it even though i wanted to, and even though every artist i know always reiterates the importance of not erasing your lines all the time and learning to be comfortable with making “bad art” i simply couldn’t do it without feeling like i was failing. but then i found your channel, and your old art videos, and seeing how much you’ve improved by getting out of your comfort zone and accepting the art you make, accepting it is art in itself, has just… switched something for me. you’ve inspired me so much, dish, and i can say that for the first time in a while, i’m anticipating the moment i pick up my sketchbook and just - experiment with it. so, thank you so much. keep up the good work!
So many artists have the struggle with the blank page, that scribble is how many people start it. Somthing random, it exist, the page is not “perfect” it dose not matter. Same with stickers!
Keep it up, if anything you can remember your sketch book is recycled, that means anything could’ve been on those pages, someone’s random sketchbook, someone’s half written note pad, some couculous, or even random fax papers! It isn’t new or old it’s both.
Use your finest things everyday, make them worth it! My favorite pencils are about 4 dollars each, I use them in my sketchbook, as sketches and for my completed drawings, it makes it worth it! (If your wondering I use black wing pencils, I got the audition pack recently and I love it)
Also if your ever looking to get a larger set of markers, I use Sanjoki (they are cheep and nice and have brush). (Ohuhu also can be nice for cheep) both last, the ones I’ve gotten as store brands, tend to get gross even if they aren’t being used, I haven’t had the same issues with Sanjoki or ohuhu.
I used to always draw veeeeryy tiny tiny anime characters in tinyyyyyy pieces of paper but now that im drawing in a bigger scale and now that i have experimented more it feels nicer. I feel like I have acomplished more for the same amount of time i'd spend on tiny peices
Your art is Soo good , I've been drawing for 8 months and I can't even shade at all .Hopefully I can progress as much as you one day and finally create my own manga . You're a huge inspiration to keep going .
Miss dish your art is getting better and better each video :) Really glad you're making progress, and learning to push yourself. Take care, hope you have a wonderful day/night as well
these videos make me emotional everytime. "being good at drawing" has been a part of my identity since i was super young and eventually the pressure of "being good" got to me. i thought i was worse than what people thought i was, because i only showed them drawings i was proud of and never ones i didnt like. ive been griefing how little i draw nowadays because of the feeling of not being good enough but these videos really make me want to have a fresh start and start doing it again because i enjoy it, not because i want to get validation from others.
You're doing amazing! It really inspired me! :) keep going with the sketchbook, it will be an amazing tool to improve your artworks ~ lots of hugs from Spain!
YEAH!!! BLANK PAGES ARE SOMETHING THAT STRESSES ME OUT NGL
Good job not getting discouraged and pushing through! As long as you learn from your mistakes you are not a failure, I've gotten into a habit of doing studies when I am lacking in something like proportions or lighting. I feel like it's giving myself some homework before I work on a big project.
btw your sketches in your sketchbook look very nice!
The way binging this series has made me realize how helpful these videos are, not even from an art standpoint I’ve learned a lot about myself, and habits and fears that I share with the creator, which I’m realizing I need to let go of. GREAT VIDEO KEEP GOING!!
thank you for existing dish, you genuienly are my most comfort streamer, i adore you. stay safe, hope you are doing well.
Your art improwed so much! You did a really nice and great progress and i love to see how you going through all fears and troubles of art. Its soo inspiring! I hope, that you will love your art more and more and get more joy from that you doing ^^ Thank you for sharing your work with us! Im really proud of you💛🌿⭐
this is my comfort video tbh
In the rare occasions I leave a comment it's usually something long with a bunch of tips, but by now there really isn't anything else left for me to say, except that you're doing better every time. I wish you fun but most importantly energy going forward.
that bird looks so cool and the eyes got so much emotion. I love it
Your art has been inspiring me to sketch, color, draw, and even inspire myself to not give on these drawings. I hav the same problem as you where I also have the sticker problem, and the perfectionist mindset. Ive seen ALOT of progress within your drawings and my drawings! Thank you for inspiring me Dish, and I hope you keep posting videos about your art and progress I would love to see it all!! ❤
this whole video felt like a hug.
Funniest thing is that I found your channel through your original art series, and started playing Genshin a few months later and found it again and watched your videos regularly from then on. This channel feels both like a development and a return to the first content I watched from you.
Keep up the good work, you're improving so fast💚
i love your art videos! they just feel so genuine and have so much soul in them, thank you for your videos :)
Your expression at 1:08 portrays a feeling so familiar to me that it really shook me, like, this girl *gets me*. It's just like that Blue Period panel where Yatora realizes that he's actually... scared of drawing. So powerful. I admire you for documenting these struggles and showing us even the stuff that you're not really proud of.
Personally, I've just recently started drawing regularly again and I'm so glad that CZcams's algorithm showed me your "I want to be an artist" video because I didn't know you at all before but I'll be following along your art journey for sure now. It's also cool that you stream games! I'm a big Genshin fan as well. So anyway, thank you for the inspiration and good luck to us!
you are such an inspiration for me (and prob others aswell). this video made me wanna practice art more and overcome my fear of sketchbooks (or art in general) thank you dish :) you are doing amazing! 💕
I always watch your videos to get motivation and it works really well ^^
These are everything I need rn ❤
The fact that you started art again motivated me to not stop. Your videos on this channel mean a lot to me they're wholesome and motivating and I wanna follow along on your art journey
Ive been doing art for around 8 years now and you're improving better than i did! Your form in anatomy is gradually getting better, i'd say cartoon style is more easier than realism and you're nailing in both art styles! :D
Its very motivating to watch these videos!! Keep drawing ❤
I've been here since the beginning of your art journey, and your stuff honestly looks so good its crazy. Proud of you ms. dish!
quite honestly when I saw the painting of the shirt I said out loud “Ooo, that’s very nice” cuz I really love your art and it’s great to see you progressing!
I love this series so much! It's extremely relatable and down to earth, I'm so glad you're enjoying your journey. You've inspired me :3
Thank you for sharing your art journey
dude your art has improved so much!! its so exciting to see a fellow artist on a journey to improve in art, and i feel really inspired by your vids :)
art is really tough and it can be super discouraging when you make something that you think looks bad after you've made several nice drawings, but thats just something u gotta push through yk- and if you ever feel burnt out or like you aren't having fun drawing, take a break! its ok to take breaks, escpecially when you hit art block, sometimes u just gotta step back and let urself breathe
anyway, gl and have fun!!
Once again, thank you for helping me put how I feel about my own art AND sketchbook into words!
You're truly an inspiration, keep bein awesome! :)
these videos are such a good change of pace 🐸❤️ take your time with it ❤️
The whole first few minutes of the coffeeshop (the fear that everyone is looking at you and the fear of messing up a new sketchbook) shows that you are already one of us. You are using the artist lingo LOL
Holy crap, your monologue at 10:38 really spoke to me. And in general, this new channel of yours has been really inspirational. Keep up the great work, Dish! 👏
I've been an artist for 11 years now and I have to say I really appreciate seeing your journey. It motivates me to keep making art
Your progress is so inspiring and healing to watch. Somehow shed some tears on my own sketchbook while watching : thank you so much for doing those videos Dish
I got myself a couple of sketchbooks months ago and love them a lot. I've made some pretty bad drawings, some okay ones, and some like the one I'm working on as I watched this that I'm really proud of. It's a great way to practice, study, or fool around and be intimate with your art and watch as each stroke leaves an imprint on the paper that even if you erase a ghost of it is still there, a testament to your process and thoughtfulness. While to some it's simply a spiral bound book of paper, to you it can be a magical book that asks you to create, to commit, and to love both your mistakes and your perfections
Thoughtful, vulnerable, and creative Dish is my favorite Dish.
Another great art video with beautiful drawings ❤
Love you Dish, so proud of your journey so far !! 🤍
the progress youve made since you started it absolutely incredible, i just want you to know that we're all so proud of you miss dish! your art videos really motivate me to keep working at my own art and other things that are hard because even thought they're difficult i enjoy them, and i think thats a really cool thing :)
i've been an on and off hobby artist all my life, but since leaving school i've lost all confidence in my abilities from disuse.. i don't know why, but watching this at 3 am has given me more inspiration and courage to pick it up again than any professional artists' "how to start drawing" kind of videos. so thank you ^-^
I've been doing digital art for a while and have completely neglected traditional art, so thank you for motivating me to pick up a sketchbook again!
Also, I really enjoy these comfy update videos, seeing your progress is so inspiring!
every time i watch one of your art videos i can't stop myself from pulling out my sketchbook after a minute so that i can doodle something around me while i listen to your voiceover. your hard work and perseverence and honesty have just as much value if not more value than "good art," thank you for this video as always miss dish !!
i hope one day you can make a tour of your sketchbook and that you're proud of how far you've come
I'm so excited to see more of your art journey! :DD
It's nice to see someone go through a journey, I've been drawing for a while, but I feel like I forgot what it meant to do art for a while, because all I kept thinking about was "perfection" and how could I impress an audience with my work? But I think I realized, my work doesn't always have to comprise of deep and meaningful artwork with perspective that I find complicated and details so... Detailed, or perfect, it can also just be simple and imperfect
The level of improvement you've made in such a short time is amazing!! Love this series.
