Some person: gets rejected at art class
Whole Europe: *Oh no-*
"I wasn't angry and bitter that my country started and lost WWI (which I fought in), and that we got sanctioned for losing, and that the Jews were in all the financial sectors in Germany instead of native Germans. It was because I lost a DeviantArt contest. Europe needed to be punished!!" -Hitler, 1994 (from his bungalow in Argentina, a country known to hide high ranking Nazi's after WWII)
Just start a World War, lmao.
Tru
He started his own project which then resulted in ground-breaking technology 😂
Fun fact : u can create a dictator out of this
best suggestion ever 😂
I mean we could always start a war
Join the Axis Powers, Simple.
Advice for when youre rejected from Art School: Always go for Poland first
advice for when your art is rejected:
don't join political party
hahaha took me a while to get that
Those uniforms though....
Nor invade Poland.
And hate Jews
That is basically why Hitler was so pent up with rage. It had nothing to do with the concessions imposed on Germany for losing WWI ("haha!" -Nelson), and nothing to do with the Jews positions in society (heavily involved in money, banking etc) which he resented them for, and nothing to do with him being a complete nutcase with 2 left testicles. He just got told his art was too shit to get enrolled in an art school (as if you need to enroll in art school to learn how to draw/paint!).
Advice: Join an army, then become a politican, become a leader of a nation and then invade poland and you're done.
Then kill 11 million people
hahaha
Just make sure that by being a leader of a nation, it's filled with rejected and bitter people too so they can identify you as their voice
Here's a great tip to revenge when your art is rejected:
INVADE A COUNTRY
I feel like I reject my own art. I’m so afraid that others will think I’m a bad artist that I never make that step to put my work out there.
I feel the exact same way, it keeps me from drawing sometimes and it ends up forcing me into this loop of always practicing the basics instead of making an OC or something because I always have this thought of practicing the basics will improve my art so why trying making it when I can just practice
That was how I felt a few years back then but I have been practicing in secret, until I got confident enough to post my work on social media and online art platforms. I am still aware that the quality of my work pales in comparison to that of professionals, but I told myself I'll reach there someday, slowly but surely. Just keep doing it and you will get better for sure.
One of the greatest things to see in Twitter or ArtStation is when u see a timeline of small growth on a persons art posts. If you think your art is bad now post it and think of it as building block for others to come? This at least helps me :)
Same here, I have awesome drawings and concepts sitting at my desk. But I never shared them :(
@@esserge7473 in my opinion, true growth is the result of intentional practice, so the best way to get good at X is by doing X. And doing X to your best... NOTE THAT OVERWORKING YOURSELF TO YOUR BREAKING POINT on X is NOT your best, it is YOUR WORST
I am so tired of art school sometimes, no matter how hard I try my ideas are never good enough.
I had been rejected from the art school that i wanted to get into for a while. The rejection letter honestly stung. I took that rejection letter and taped it to my wall right in front of my work station and used it as motivation to work harder and to get better. I've been in that school for two years now.
I like your music playlist
Did you start a war?
Just conquer the world and get over it.
Conquer Europe and avoid Russia during winter
Conquer Europe.
Your advice could've stopped a world war
start writing a book that inspiring Many people and the Youth
Wait this is based
Also start writing a book that inspiring Mein Kampf
Me and you both know what the comments of this video are gonna be like.
I've been on both sides of this. I've been the one to give advice to people who asked and the one to receive it from someone who's got more advanced skills than me. And I've caught myself after receiving good advice when I went and said "I don't have time" "I'm too busy" etc. etc. Finding all the excuses in the world not to study and put valuable advice into action. But I think a lot of that comes from me feeling lost and being unsure about what direction I even want to take professionally. So I kept hesitating because I'm just not sure about anything.
I've found your videos/channel while doing a really unpleasant crunch for my last job and I needed someone/something to listen to and not only have your videos helped me not to lose my mind while crunching but they've also got me thinking about... who I want to be as an artist. (I know this has nothing to do with this specific video but I've been binge watching through the whole channel for the past 2 weeks and I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart thank you SO much for making me THINK while I've been stuck in feeling stuck for over 3 years now.)
This is too hard i will just invade europe
Eh, I'll go in to politics, that never hurt anybody.
You should consider Germany
And also consider hating on Jews, that will draw some attention.
I honestly regret on my decision in forgeting art, I always think about myself that my art is worst than others, and that it greatly effected my motivation. I wanted to make art and show to others but my confidence dropped and led me to forgetting art, I've tried my best into being a good artist, I watch CZcams videos about art, but i still wasn't confident, I didn't had the motivation, and all my hard work has been forgotten...But when I watched your videos, you made me put up my motivation you helped me realize that I am not the only one who is feeling this way. Thank you for the advice and thank you for helping me realize, and thank you for making me push forward.
I think my problem right now is I'm not exposing myself enough. I'm not really putting my art out there for others to see, and in turn I'm not getting the help I need to improve. It's only recently that I started posting my work on Reddit, and I'm currently working on a commission right now. Listening is only the next thing I need to do, the first thing I need to do in order to succeed is to open myself to the world.
@@lemonwedge5209 I think that just comes down to the balance of what you want to draw and what your target audience wants to see. Once you figure that out, draw that particular thing more often and you'll see yourself improve. It's takes time to gain a following, so you have to be patient.
I finally started an Instagram for my art last week. It's really small right now, but I feel like I achieved something just by putting myself out there. Everyday I can see at least one new person come in to look at my art. Now I'm just hoping I'll run into people who will provide feedback and advice.
Personally, my goal as an artist is to improve my abilities. I'm not looking for hundreds of likes and followers, although they are incouraging no doubt. I think it's important that any artist show confidence in their skills, whatever level they are at, and always strive to be better.
I just got rejected from art school.
Uh oh
oh fuck here we go again
I'm so happy with that I know english good enough (It isn't my native lang) to understand your videos. You talk about very significant things for every artist or even a common person.
I don't know how it turned out but your supportive thoughts is the only thing that keeps me from quit drawing. It's a great pleasure to listen to you because your voice is so relaxing and... warm??? It feels like I'm talking to someone who is my best friend or something like that.
Huge thanks for vids! If I'll find the strength I try to make russian subs for at least one of them bc most of my friends (or others who just needs to hear you) can't understand language at this level.
I know right?! ❤️
I really needed this video. Thank you Adam.
I have to learn many of those lessons the hard way, thank you for articulating it!
yess another video! Thanks Adam
Thank you for this video, Adam! Gonna listen to this again later~
I always look forward when you upload a vid, great art/great subjects .
Thank you so much for your videos, especially this one. I've been teaching myself and working on developing my skills for years and the hardest part by far is not really knowing how to go about doing all this, what to do, what direction should I go towards, what I'm doing wrong. It feels like I'm constant trying to climb out of a hole that just never end, enourmous amount of time constantly feel completely wasted and progress being extremely slow, especially when no one around me is an artist or understands what I'm trying to do. Your videos have been little guiding lights for me as I'm going on this creative endeavour which is also a chance for me to change my life, and I'm very grateful towards you for that.
How happy I am that I know English well enough to listen to this video (Adam). Thank you so much for the video...Your videos help me so much when I`m having a hard time studying drawing.
Pretty excellent English by the sounds of it! And thank you Alex :)
You answer questions I didn't even know I had. Thank you so much for this video, now I know what I need to do.
Wish you all the best Adam, stay safe.
You too, take care of yourself and your loved ones:)
Good listen, thanks Adam. Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
Great advice! Getting some sort of meaningful feedback can make such a huge difference to one's rate mentality and art productivity/direction . Not getting replies can definitely hurt but most people are just busy, however, when you do get a reply its usually very helpful and educational.
I sent out countless emails and only got reply from 5% of them, but when I do it was always well written and takes into great consideration of what I was trying to achieve.
Love your videos, mate! Stay safe!
13:52 had me crying LOL
Quit art before, for a year or so to pursue a different passion. Now back to it, 2 years and counting. Again, same sentiments, wish I had these video then to have stopped me. But glad that it exists now! We understand that you get busy, Adam. Your videos help us enough as is! :) So thank you and stay healthy!
Hey, sometimes we need to take a break from art - that doesn’t make us less artists. You came back Kuri, that’s what matters :)
Man it would be amazing if you could list in the description the links to all this art resources you mention. Also, keep up the good work, I love your videos ❤
Good advice can come from anywhere, "Out of the mouths of babes..." to paraphrase the Bible. Which goes hand in hand with, "Before you can remove the straw from your brothers' eye, you must first remove the Rafter from your own."
Applying these two together would mean to listen CLOSELY to others, and to take time to think about how we can use any given advice. Even if it comes from a source we wouldn't normally think about, or even if they are hurtful words to us.
This was another great video Adam, with far too many good points for me to cram into a single comment. I know first hand you've responded to plenty of my comments, and as always I would never expect a response. Everyone is busy, especially working professionals... and even more so Teachers. In an hour long class with 30 students you can only maybe answer a handful, and that's just a typical classroom not to mention university or online classes with 60-120+ students.
Everyone is talking about not starting the fourth riech but I’m kinda outa a job right now so I if anyone wants to start another one hit me up
Oh my god did I finally witness a Beksinski inspired LUCIDPIXUL painting??? 😍 my dreams have been realized
I know, I know, I know...
But seriously, after everyone of your videos, I know better.
Thanks a lot for all the advise!
Why not just you know. ßecome
hi Adam i would realy like you to do talks about how you keep yourself focus even when there is so much chose in the world. for me its burn me from the inside
Huu...i need this so, so much. I've been struggling financially....yet the kind of art I made just not the kind that's likable by people around me. They like landscapes, I hate landscapes..... I love colors...they don't.... Yet I had to surrender....coz I need the money....
Be your own critic. Since you know yourself.
Start a war :D
nah mate just invade poland its easy
Оh, Adam, where have you been with this video 3 years ago, when I couldn't handle with one rejection after another.
Sounds like you’ve suffered a few knocks along the way too!
HR Giger said in one or more of his books that even as a skilled artist, he had his art rejected multiple times IIRC (for various art grants) until he stopped sending it, yet less than 10 years later he was one of the most famous and unique artists the world has ever seen.
If theres anything to take from that, its: Basically if your art gets rejected it doesn't mean shit. Other than the judges have got boring, casual or prudish taste in art.
One of the first lessons I've learned was that people are busy. At the beginning of my career, I took it personally, but today? Pfft. I totally understand it. So, I prefer when the client/company/publisher approaches me first. I know if I send a no solicited submission, I will waste my time, and theirs too.
I got rejected.. k I'm using an oven tonight 🤠👍
Adam, is it important for studios that the people they’re interviewing have taken a 4-year art school. Is it possible that somebody’s and technical skills and art alone can get a job in the industry?
I find myself repeating the same mistakes again and again, even though I try to avoid them. Mind, they get less and less severe, but everytime I get that mistake pointed out in feedbacks I get frustrated with myself because I should know by now to avoid it yet I somehow seem to be unable to notice it until someone points it out to me. it's not that I'm not listening or taking the advise to heart. But that for some reason the knowledge has not yet reached my brain so I can actively apply it. It hasn't clicked yet and part of me fears it might never do.
But oh well, guess I habe to keep on trying... :/
Should a mentor ship fit the student's art style? Or do you think most mentors will be able to help in other area's such as technique enough to propel them forward if the student is willing to listen and put in the work?
I don't like where this is going
I get discouraged a lot because when I actually TRY to draw, I feel like there's some kind of learning disability going on. I don't comprehend anything that's in front of me and it's so frustrating trying to figure out what's going on. I know there's improvement needed, but how to fix it is so difficult. I put myself as a beginner artist, there's a lot of foundation that needs to be worked on, but trying to find actual beginner artist things online (I'm talking basics of basics) is so hard. It's like you need to already have those basics to find anything worth looking at online. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Especially with the "no matter how hard I try to draw this thing, nothing clicks or makes sense" kinda thing?
is the original inspiration by Zdzisław Beksiński ? i LOVE him! its hard to find good sources on his style, any advice or sources you could point me to? as soon as i can spare the money i will take your mentorship, i adore you as a human being and of course love your artworks. your channel shows me there are others like me out there and that is very soothing. thank you for that
It could be, by the looks of it. I'm not sure about sources (I'd just say "look at more of his art because AFAIK he was very unique"). I often see people (strangely?) comparing him to HR Giger, although TBH I think he's only vaguely similar at best. Both are too unique to really compare to anyone else IMO. You look at any of their pics and you know immediately who made it. So Beksinski is probably the single best source for Beksinski style.
If he's like Giger in that he talks about his art in his artbooks, then maybe Beksinski spoke about some of inspirations in books.
@@ncshuriken oh cool thank you, ill check out Giger :o
Invade Poland lol
I’ve been feeling discouraged lately, and I’ve been questioning whether the industry I’m trying to go into (which isn’t concept art), is right for me. I get positive feedback from other artists, but clients tend to feel my style is too ‘dark’. I’ve tried changing subject matter (drawing things other than demons) but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I also get a little irritated because I don’t aim to have a style, I just try to draw the best I can. I’m also colorblind and I sometimes wonder if that has anything to do with it as I work primarily in graphite and pen and ink.
I think my biggest concern is the idea that maybe my depression gets channeled through my drawings, even if I’m copying a picture of Bambi.. I worry about that a lot actually
Zachary Horvath you’ll find your way. Don’t let worries hold you back and just take things one step at a time. Just do what you love and you’ll figure out some way to monetize it.
Have you thought of getting treatment for your depression?
Y'know I'm 21 and in architecture school. Now obviously my art isn't in painting although I love drawing.
Thing is I feel so inferior to other artists many times younger than me, I want to make beautiful things but I find myself unable to
My art is rejected a lot cuz its to lewd...lol
Man, I'm struggling IMMENSELY to try and develop my *digital* art skills... Anyone got tips?
Avoid russian winter and western gays.
Wildest comment section ive ever had
Dont start a political party.
Technically he didn't start it, in fact he was set to infiltrate it...
@@utahraptor4729874 he re-branded it though, and he changed so many things in the party it essentially became a new party.
get into politics
I get angry because i feel like im not (and never will be) good enough.
Totally off topic, having art in your name made me click your profile. If I ever pick up social media I will definitely do that too.
Of course I don’t want to diminish your feelings Tamaar, but rest assured the way you feel is almost universal for all of us. We tend to feel we suck and everyone else are geniuses :)
@@AdamDuffArt No worries, i really appriciate you commenting on my comment. It`s hard for everyone to find thear place in the world. I just sometimes feel like if i knew what i wanted to do with my art moving forward things would be better.
@@anima94 Thank you :)
Is that picture you are drawing in this video the art that was rejected? Not to sound rude, but I can see why. It looks like a flea that was magnified 500x under a microscope.
Here's a tip don't become the president of Germany
