Q & A
Quel conseil l'artiste donne-t-il à ses jeunes artistes pour surmonter la désillusion face à leurs propres créations?
-L'artiste conseille de ne pas être un 'petit bébé' et de ne pas se décourager face à ses propres dessins, mais plutôt de comprendre que son niveau de compétence est un reflet de l'effort qu'il a investi dans l'art.
Quelle métaphore utilise l'artiste pour décrire son approche de l'apprentissage de l'art?
-L'artiste utilise la métaphore d'un 'monstre' pour décrire son approche de l'art, suggérant qu'il faut planifier une stratégie pour surmonter ce défi plutôt que de s'y confronter de front.
Quelle est la théorie du 'nombre sur la tête' que l'artiste mentionne-t-il et comment cela affecte-t-elle la perception de son propre talent?
-La théorie du 'nombre sur la tête' suggère que si les gens portaient un nombre représentant le nombre d'heures d'étude de l'art, cela aiderait à comprendre les différences de compétence et à ne pas se comparer à d'autres inutilement.
Pourquoi l'artiste a-t-il eu la révélation que son niveau de compétence en dessin était faible?
-L'artiste a eu cette révélation après avoir constaté qu'il n'avait pas suivi de cours d'art sérieux, mais seulement dessiné de manière informelle, ce qui a entraîné un niveau de compétence bas.
Quel est le deuxième conseil que l'artiste donne pour améliorer ses compétences en art?
-Le deuxième conseil est de traiter l'art comme un 'monstre' et de planifier une stratégie pour surmonter les défis de l'apprentissage, plutôt que de s'y confronter de manière désordonnée.
Quelle est la différence entre 'dessiner' et 'pratiquer' selon l'artiste?
-Selon l'artiste, 'dessiner' est simplement l'action de créer, tandis que 'pratiquer' implique de suivre une méthode d'apprentissage efficace et de s'améliorer constamment.
Pourquoi l'artiste a-t-il ressenti que son amélioration était ralentie malgré son habitude de dessiner tous les jours?
-L'artiste a ressenti que son amélioration était ralentie car il n'avait pas mis en place de méthodes d'apprentissage efficaces, il se contentait de copier des références sans réellement apprendre.
Quel est le rôle des cours en ligne dans l'amélioration des compétences de l'artiste?
-Les cours en ligne jouent un rôle clé en permettant à l'artiste d'apprendre des professionnels expérimentés, qui peuvent fournir des connaissances et des techniques pour améliorer ses compétences.
Quel est le lien entre la satisfaction de son art et la quantité de temps passé à dessiner, selon l'artiste?
-Selon l'artiste, la satisfaction de son art ne dépend pas directement de la quantité de temps passé à dessiner, mais plutôt de la qualité de la pratique et de l'utilisation de méthodes d'apprentissage efficaces.
Quelle est la meilleure façon d'apprendre l'art selon l'artiste, et pourquoi est-elle importante?
-La meilleure façon d'apprendre l'art est d'intégrer des cours en ligne et de suivre des professionnels qui peuvent enseigner des techniques efficaces, car cela permet de structurer l'apprentissage et d'éviter de gaspiller du temps.
Quel est le conseil final que l'artiste donne pour éviter de faire les mêmes erreurs dans son parcours artistique?
-L'artiste conseille de se faire des évaluations régulièrement, en regardant son parcours de haut, pour identifier les erreurs et les améliorer tôt, ce qui peut économiser beaucoup de temps et d'efforts.
Outlines
🎨 Arrêter de se comporter comme un bébé artiste
Le premier paragraphe aborde le problème de la frustration artistique et l'acceptation de ses compétences actuelles. L'artiste narrateur reconnaît qu'il a parfois sous-estimé ses propres capacités par rapport à ses idées créatives. Il introduit la notion de 'ne pas être un bébé', en expliquant que le niveau de compétence en art est directement proportionnel au temps investi dans l'étude et la pratique. Il suggère que les artistes devraient porter un nombre sur leur tête représentant le temps passé à apprendre l'art, ce qui permettrait de mieux comprendre leur progression. Il cite Sam des Arts, un YouTubeur qui a partagé ses propres expériences d'apprentissage de l'art, pour souligner l'importance de la pratique et de l'étude structurelle plutôt que de se décourager par comparaison avec d'autres.
🗺️ Planifier la maîtrise de l'art comme affronter un monstre
Dans le second paragraphe, l'artiste compare l'apprentissage de l'art à la lutte contre un monstre immense. Il admet avoir été intimidé par la complexité de l'art et la performance des autres artistes. L'idée clé de ce paragraphe est que la planification stratégique est essentielle pour surmonter cet obstacle. Il insiste sur la nécessité d'avoir un plan d'étude de l'art structuré et de suivre cette planification de manière cohérente. Il partage son expérience personnelle de la satisfaction et de la confiance qui découlent de la mise en œuvre d'un tel plan, et comment cela a transformé sa perception de l'art en un défi surmontable plutôt qu'un insurmontable.
🔄 L'importance de la méthode de pratique quotidienne
Le troisième paragraphe traite de l'importance de la pratique artistique quotidienne et de la reconnaissance des erreurs dans les méthodes de pratique. L'artiste raconte son expérience de pratique quotidienne intensive sans amélioration significative de ses compétences, ce qui l'a amené à réévaluer sa méthode d'apprentissage. Il met en évidence le fait que la quantité de temps passé à dessiner ne se traduit pas nécessairement par une amélioration des compétences, sauf si elle est associée à des méthodes de pratique efficaces. Il recommande d'intégrer des cours en ligne avec des instructeurs expérimentés, tels que Brent Everson, pour structurer sa pratique et accélérer l'apprentissage. Il mentionne Skillshare comme une plateforme utile pour suivre des cours de qualité et ainsi améliorer ses compétences en art.
🚀 Identifier et surmonter rapidement les erreurs
Le dernier paragraphe insiste sur la capacité d'identifier et de surmonter rapidement les erreurs dans le processus créatif. L'artiste narrateur suggère de se pencher sur les erreurs du passé non pas pour se décourager, mais pour en tirer des leçons et éviter de les reproduire. Il propose de réfléchir de manière périodique à son parcours artistique et d'évaluer son approche et sa progression de manière globale. Il partage son intention d'étudier les méthodes d'apprentissage efficaces et d'appliquer ces connaissances à son art pour accélérer sa maîtrise. Il conclut en disant qu'une telle réflexion peut conduire à des révélations artistiques importantes et qu'il pourrait partager ces découvertes dans un futur vidéo.

Transcripts
if I could go back in time a couple of
years there's a few things I'd like to
tell younger artists to me things that
would have saved me probably years and
helped me improv in art a lot earlier
and a lot quicker so let's talk about
that step one stop being a s little baby
so context a couple years ago I was
facing a particular problem in my art
and this problem was dissatisfaction or
like disappointment to the things I was
drawing you know just just common artist
problems right because what would happen
very often was situations where it have
this really cool idea for a drawing and
I go and try to make it and then halfway
through realize that my skill was not
quite at the level where it could
manifest the ideas that I was imagining
which is kind of an L situation and so
because of this I think to myself
strange thoughts such as Man drawing is
hard man I hate drawing however this is
a prime example of a psychological
concept that I like to call being a s
little baby so what's the counter to
this that I wish I knew earlier well you
see at some points I kind of came up
with an you know an idea you could call
it a theory a thought experiment if you
will that kind of just clapped me out of
this state of being dissatisfied with my
drawings and it goes something like this
I would say I would hypothesize that
most artists would feel
10 hypothesize that most artists would
feel 10 100 times better if we all just
walked around the number in our head
displaying how many hours you've studied
art for because then things would just
make a lot more sense let me explain to
you right so coincidentally actually not
too long ago the the YouTuber Sam
desarts put out a video where he was
reviewing his childhood art and my
initial reaction to all of that as well
as a lot of people from the comments was
man I wasn't that good when I was 8 man
I wasn't that good when I was 12 oh my
God he's so
talented however deeper into the video
he kind of just explains exactly what's
going on if you guys are seeing these
pieces and you're like man I wasn't
doing this at 12 and you're starting to
feel disappointed or discouraged stop
that nonsense it's not about your actual
age it's about how many years you've
been practicing how many years you've
been learning and for me I started
learning art in China from before I was
even in elementary school in Chinese art
classes you get there and it's like a
military boot camp okay they sit you
down and they slap you over the head
with art fundamentals they just destroy
you so if you're someone who's like 20
right now and you're like I can't even
do that just ask yourself how many years
have you been seriously studying art if
it's not that many then you can't
compare your work with a 12-year-old
who's been studying for like 7 years
listen bro 7 years of training and
anything and you're just going to be
built different but anyway back to
younger me so after a while just not
liking the stuff I was drawing and being
very like dissatisfied with that I ended
up coming to the realization that the
number on my head would just not be very
high because although I'd always drawn
since I was a kid I was always kind of
just fliming around with my drawing I
never actually like actually studied
drawing therefore my skill level was and
always will be just an indication of how
much work I've actually put into this
thing thus the number on the head
theorem therefore stop being a sorry
little baby you deserve to be at the
level that you're at all right step two
treat art like a monster now corny as
this might sound for the longest time
art felt like some gargantuan monster
because I'd look at artists online and
think to myself bro how the hell am I
ever going to get that good it just made
no sense to me like what do I do how do
I even start like it was just so beyond
me I just did not understand how people
were able to get that good at drawing
just didn't make sense to me so was like
here's R this seemingly massive monster
and I just felt like I was there with my
little dagger like oh my God how am I
going to beat this thing well to answer
that question let's have a look at
fiction so if you ever read or watched
any piece of fiction where the main cast
is faced against some sort of seemingly
omnipotent adversary how do they
typically realistically win well it's
never by trying to go blow for blow like
going all in headon to try and like beat
this monster no it's typically they sit
down the the situation they plan out a
strategy and they follow through with it
and in my eyes that's the best way to
approach the the monster of drawing now
planning being important is not some
sort of revolutionary concept on its
some but the reason I'm pointing this
out is because for the longest time I
knew I wanted to get better like duh
every artist does so I had this kind of
vague idea of the destination but I
never had route to getting to that
destination so I just ended up wandering
aimlessly just walking around I had no
idea what I was doing and that's why I
used to be so bewildered when I saw
artists who were so good who were
seemingly already at that destination
that make sense so nowadays I really
value having a structured Arts study
plan because even though it's going to
take a long time to just Master the
fundamentals for example it doesn't
matter like the period of time it takes
doesn't matter the difficulty that it's
going to be doesn't really matter
because first of all I'll be drown for
the rest of my life anyway and second of
all because I've got an idea of what
that route to point B is going to look
like art doesn't feel like some
unbeatable monster like it did a couple
years ago because I've already got the
strategy laid out as to how I'm going to
beat it so to speak I don't know man the
confidence you get from having a solid
plan in place is pretty sick and I just
know that if I'd mapped out just a basic
art plan a lot earlier I would have
saved myself an ungodly amount of time
all right step three the thing about
drawing every day so I've seen a lot of
discourse on the internet of people
talking about drawing every day is it
good is it bad all that stuff for me
personally I had a certain period that
I've talked about in my videos before
where about maybe about I don't know
like a half a year-ish stretch I would
draw every day for hours a day and it
felt good to like draw a lot it felt
pretty good to be consistent and you
think that at this point since you know
I'd learned from my previous mistakes so
you know i' laid out an art study plan
and I was being consistent with it so
You' think that it would be all sunshine
and rainbows at this point which is what
I thought as well however after a few
months of being in this kind of drawing
everyday thing I began to I began to
kind of notice something I began to feel
like I wasn't improving as much as I
could have been or should have been it
just felt like for the amount I was
drawing I just felt like the progress
should have been significantly quicker
which isn't necessarily an inaccurate
train of thought so you know I sat down
and I looked at everything I was like
okay well I've got a study plan laid out
and I'm following through with it and
I'm being consistent like finally for
the first time in my life I'm being
consistent with my drawing so like you
know what's the issue it was simple you
see despite the fact that I was drawing
every day and I was being consistent and
all that stuff I failed to pay attention
to one of if not the most important
aspect of this entire thing which is the
actual practice methods if you will so
let me tell you exactly what I did let
me give you a master class on how to not
practice drawing so say I was working on
something like shading for example I
would you know maybe watch like one or
two videos on the subject and then I'd
go on Pinterest and search up face
shading references and then just copy
that because I just wanted to learn how
to shade the face you know and then I do
that for like 2 hours stop and then
rinse to repeat over the next couple
days and that was kind of my whole thing
which is quite simply just not the most
optimal way to learn you can take your
little baby crayon and you can draw in
circles with your little baby crayon all
day I can take a spoon and swing it at a
tree and call that sucker an axe more
time does not equal getting better so it
didn't really matter how much I was
drawing because my Approach was just
weak I don't know bro there's so many
like different ways and strategies of
practicing that it's so easy to get kind
of lost in that whole Space which is why
it's just all the more important to
spend enough time thinking about it cuz
damn the amount of time I wasted is
actually kind of insane but something I
wish I could have done a lot earlier
especially doing this kind of period
where I was drawing a lot but not
practicing well and something I have
began to incorporate into my routine
nowadays is online classes I've been
working on my shading by following a
really interesting class by Brent
everston who's a YouTuber an author an
incredible art teacher and I'm really
loving his shading class on skillshare
who are sponsoring this video so unless
you're living under rock you know that
skill chair is the largest online
learning platform with thousands of
classes on pretty much any creative
field you can think of like drawing
obviously as well as painting animation
editing photography graphic design
videography classes led by top tier
industry professionals integrating
online classes video classes by people
who know what they're talking about is
kind of just where it's at so like I
mentioned I'm taking Brent Easton's
shading beyond the basics class and
learning from someone who's an
incredible artist who's experienced and
who knows how to break these con
Concepts down and explain them really
well is extremely valuable having
experienced Pros who've walked the path
that you want to walk on just kind of
lay the groundwork out for you just
makes the entire learning process that
much easier which is why skillshare is
pretty sick in my opinion so if you want
to learn from the pros and improve your
drawing skillshare is a place to be the
first 500 people to use the link in my
description will get an entire 1 month
free trial of skillshare which in my
opinion is kind of a no-brainer but
that's just my opinion I don't know I'm
just saying just
saying all right so this video so far
has been about mistakes I was making in
the past but what are some things that
future me wishes he knew earlier what
some things future me wishes current me
new and how do I find out what those
things are well to do that we have to
look at the patterns from the past and
then use that to determine the best
actions for the future so let's just
kind of do that and I'll just kind of
start off by saying you know what would
be the stupidest thing of all time it
would be so stupid of me to look back
and simply wish I didn't make the
mistakes that I did that's not the point
because there's always going to be
mistakes so the thing we're not trying
to eradicate all possibilities of making
mistakes because if we take the example
that I gave earlier where it had this
kind of half a year period where sure I
was drawing a lot but I wasn't actually
practicing well it took me a it took me
months to recognize that there was even
a problem and then it took me another I
don't know a couple weeks couple months
trying to like trying different things
trying to fix it so when I look back on
that period I don't look back and wish
that I never made that mistake because
like we said that would be stupid
however I more so look back and think of
how much time I would have saved and how
much progress I would have saved if I
noticed that mistake earlier in my and
in my opinion that's kind of where it's
at not necessarily trying to avoid all
possibilities of making mistakes but
rather having the skill to recognize
mistakes early enough and overcome them
early enough instead of kind of just
letting them linger on without you even
recognizing that you're making a mistake
that makes sense so it's about okay like
how do we do
this I don't know bro like I have no
idea I was like I'm the guy making the
video so I should know probably but I
don't know I I really don't however the
most obvious solution to me at least now
this might be wrong cuz I've started
thinking about this very recently but
the most obvious solution to me would be
doing a thing like once twice a month
where you kind of just sit down look
back on your art journey in like recent
weeks or recent months and kind of just
evaluated from a bird's eye view pen and
paper and just thinking well how how's
the progress looking how's the
consistency looking how could I improve
the way I'm approaching drawing are
there any pressing areas of concern you
know stuff like that and I've started
doing this whole evaluations thing very
recently so I can't tell you how well it
works or anything but I can imagine that
it would help you with being able to
recognize your own shortcomings a lot
earlier and be able to overcome them a
lot earlier which could potentially save
you months maybe when you think about it
potentially save you years in your art
journey of progress because you're
actually on the lookout for your own
shortcomings so let me show you some of
my stuff that I wrote down this is
literally from like a couple days
ago all right so something that I'm
personally trying to add to my own
artistic Arsenal it's not so it's not
necessarily an outright mistake but it's
something that I know future me is going
to think car me for Learning and it's
all stuff that's based around and it's
all stuff around how to effectively
learn like how to achieve Mastery that
sort of thing there's a lot of videos
and books about it and I just kind of
want to learn as much as I I can about
this and apply it to my art just
learning how the brain learns most
effectively learning how historical
figures have achieved Mastery in their
own respective fields and then taking
all that knowledge and applying it to
the way I approach art I don't know I
just kind of find that kind of thing
pretty interesting and it would help
with practicing art more effectively
which is pretty sick and without this
evaluations practice I think this is
something that probably would have taken
me a couple extra months to even really
begin to consider so you know that's
kind of cool so this thing leads to some
sort of insane artistic
Revelation so if this whole thing leads
to some sort of insane artistic
Revelation I'll make a video and tell
you about it maybe
