🎨 La clave del éxito artístico: la ilusión

El primer párrafo presenta la introducción a un video del canal de TV Mark, donde el creador reflexiona sobre su motivación y determinación para crear arte. Se menciona que a menudo recibe preguntas de sus espectadores sobre cómo mantiene su compromiso con el arte y responde que su secreto es su 'ilusión'. Comparte una anécdota de su infancia en Nigeria, donde, a pesar de las difíciles condiciones, su familia siempre luchó por algo mejor, lo que él heredó como una 'desesperación y ilusión'. Esta actitud lo llevó a competir con los mejores artistas, viendo a figuras prominentes como sus rivales y motivándose para superarlos, a pesar de que para la mayoría parece una tarea imposible.

Keywords

💡Motivación

La motivación es el impulso que lleva a una persona a actuar o a trabajar hacia un objetivo. En el video, se menciona que a menudo se le pregunta cómo mantiene la motivación para dibujar y crear durante largos períodos de tiempo. La motivación es clave en el tema del video, ya que el narrador asocia su propia dedicación y éxito con una forma de 'ilusión' o 'delirio' productiva.

💡Determinación

La determinación es la resolución firme de alcanzar un fin o meta. El guion habla sobre cómo la gente a menudo no tiene la determinación para hacer lo que necesitan o quieren hacer. La determinación se vincula con el tema central del video al ser una cualidad que, según el narrador, puede conducir a la grandeza o éxito en el arte o cualquier otro ámbito.

💡Delirio

El delirio, en el contexto del video, se refiere a una forma de pensar que va más allá de lo que es considerado racional o posible. El narrador describe su propia actitud 'delusional' como una de las claves de su éxito, alentando a los espectadores a pensar en sí mismos como competidores de los mejores, a pesar de las diferencias evidentes en habilidades o reconocimiento.

💡Competencia

La competencia es la lucha o el esfuerzo por superar a otros en un área o habilidad determinada. El video sugiere que el narrador se considera a sí mismo en competencia con los artistas más destacados, lo que refleja una mentalidad de superación y ambición que es fundamental para el mensaje del video sobre la obsesión por la perfección y el éxito.

💡Grandeza

La grandeza se refiere a la magnificencia o a la calidad de ser excepcionalmente bueno o notable. El guion menciona que todas las personas que han alcanzado un título de gran importancia o han sido reconocidas como 'grandes' en su campo, han sido en cierto modo delirantes, lo que indica que la ambición sin límites es un componente común en el camino hacia la excelencia.

💡Consistencia

La consistencia implica la capacidad de mantener un patrón de comportamiento o acción a lo largo del tiempo. El narrador se siente frustrado por las preguntas sobre cómo logra ser tan consistente en su trabajo artístico, argumentando que si realmente se quiere algo lo suficientemente, se encontrará un camino para lograrlo de manera consistente.

💡Pasión

La pasión es un sentimiento intenso de interés o afecto por algo o alguien. En el video, la pasión es presentada como una fuerza motriz que impulsa al narrador y a otros artistas a dedicar horas incalculables a su oficio, destacando la importancia de la pasión en la creación artística y la realización de sueños.

💡Proyección

La proyección es el acto de lanzar o dirigir algo hacia adelante o hacia un objetivo. El video utiliza la frase 'dispárale a la luna' como una metáfora de tener expectativas altas, lo que puede llevar a resultados asombrosos incluso si no se alcanza el objetivo más alto, ilustrando cómo la mentalidad delirante puede resultar en logros significativos.

💡Rivalidad

La rivalidad es la relación de competencia o desafío entre individuos o grupos. El narrador menciona que ve a artistas reconocidos como Yūsuke Mirada y otros como sus rivales, lo que demuestra su mentalidad competitiva y su deseo de superar a los más grandes en su campo.

💡Obsesión

La obsesión es un estado de pensamiento o interés extremadamente intenso sobre algo. El video sugiere que las personas que han logrado el éxito en su campo, como Michael Jordan o Kanye West, lo han hecho debido a una obsesión con su oficio, lo que es paralelo a la 'delusión' del narrador y su enfoque en el arte.

I decided to go with you may or may not

play01:29

play01:32

of it so enough chitty chitty chat chat

play01:34

come with me as we explore why the key

play01:37

to success as an artist is delusion

play01:48

okay so really quick let me paint a

play01:50

picture for you it's 2011 location Lagos

play01:52

Nigeria and there's me specifically

play01:54

there's 11 year old me now the thing

play01:56

about 11 year old me was and this is

play01:58

something I don't tell people quite

play01:59

often the childhood I had because of how

play02:01

rough things were for us us meeting my

play02:03

family I found I had to grow up way

play02:05

faster than everyone else so at the age

play02:07

of 11 when I was worrying about poverty

play02:09

which of you haven't noticed isn't

play02:10

something an 11 year old should ever be

play02:12

worried about but anyways when I was

play02:14

worried about this this was a time where

play02:15

there was no Prospect of a good future

play02:17

for me or my siblings and family this

play02:19

was a time where All Odds were appointed

play02:21

to me just growing up to be some Street

play02:23

kid or end up a poor farmer in some

play02:25

Village in Nigeria or worse I just

play02:27

amount to Nothing in life and die and be

play02:28

forgotten so yeah in the midst of all

play02:30

this Doom and Gloom and stuck smack in

play02:32

the middle of hopelessness you want to

play02:34

know how we made it out of that where

play02:35

I'm now in a position to be able to

play02:36

dream of a future it's all delusion baby

play02:39

let me make it clear for you okay in

play02:41

that situation I was in no normal

play02:43

everyday human would have worked towards

play02:45

not to talk of even dream of getting out

play02:47

of something like that I mean there is

play02:48

no point at that time it seemed more

play02:49

than impossible it felt like a losing

play02:51

fight trying to get out of there and be

play02:52

something better but not for us not for

play02:54

my family we and especially my parents

play02:56

always fought for things that were so

play02:57

far out of their reach and I just

play02:59

couldn't help but pick up that same

play03:00

desperation and delusion that they had

play03:02

so yeah enough of my sappy ass childhood

play03:05

okay hopefully you're starting to get a

play03:06

clearer picture of the image I was just

play03:08

trying to pay for you with that example

play03:09

of my backstory and the reason I tell

play03:11

you artner is all that garbage is

play03:12

because I have a theory and it's a

play03:14

little Theory one that has yet to be

play03:15

deemed incorrect from what I've seen in

play03:17

my personal experience and I'll tell you

play03:18

what it is okay here it is every human

play03:20

that has ever attained a title of great

play03:22

or greatness is delusional in some way

play03:24

see the reason I go as hard as I do is

play03:26

because I've deluded myself into

play03:28

thinking I'm competing with the best of

play03:30

the best like I'm serious goofy ass lame

play03:31

SD Mark and his oh so shitty Chicken

play03:33

Scratch Chinese cartoon drawings

play03:35

seriously and genuinely believes people

play03:37

like yusuke Mirada tatsuki Fujimoto

play03:39

akutami boichi naraki rasawa whoever are

play03:43

his Rivals that's my secret if you want

play03:45

to know that's my drive I don't have

play03:46

Fujimoto or Toriyama or in no way on a

play03:49

pedestal like everyone else I mean yes I

play03:51

respect them and their work but unlike

play03:52

every other person I have met including

play03:54

people I know who do what I do I'm the

play03:56

only person who sees them as peers when

play03:59

I sit down to work when I sit down to

play04:00

draw and write and create I'm not trying

play04:02

to compete with mutuals on social media

play04:04

or even Semi-Pro manga artists you know

play04:06

those guys are cool and all and I love

play04:07

them but it's not enough when I sit down

play04:10

I genuinely think to myself how can I

play04:12

get better than these greats I ask

play04:14

myself what makes their work so good and

play04:16

how can I take that use it and create

play04:19

something that's just as amazing if not

play04:21

better myself this is how I approach

play04:22

manga with Fierce competitiveness I've

play04:24

never said that out loud before and if

play04:26

you're watching artist you must be

play04:27

thinking is this

play04:30

only just a little but it's more so

play04:33

delusion than crazy see great artists

play04:35

who have the most ambition are deluded

play04:37

because they fight tooth and nail for

play04:38

the fattest baby of all time

play04:40

see most people including most artists

play04:43

are more rational and we usually only

play04:45

aim for things that are safe or

play04:46

reasonably achievable but nah I'm trying

play04:48

to do it impossible and I think people

play04:50

would call the greatest anything have

play04:51

had that drive and mentality as well not

play04:53

that I'm destined to be great or

play04:54

whatever it's probably quite the

play04:55

opposite but I'm simply studying from

play04:57

and copying the behaviors of those who I

play04:59

deem to be better than me or that I

play05:01

would like to be like because obviously

play05:02

they know something I don't right now

play05:04

I'm not saying be delusional just to be

play05:06

delusional we've seen girls on tick

play05:07

tocks trying to manifest stuff by

play05:09

entering cheat codes into universes to

play05:11

see that that garbage doesn't work when

play05:12

you boil it down to the basics what I'm

play05:14

saying about delusion is exactly what

play05:16

that famous saying says shoot for the

play05:18

moon and even if you miss you land

play05:19

amongst the Stars it's corny but it's

play05:21

straight fat facts okay which goes to

play05:23

show when individuals like myself or any

play05:25

great artist you know have overly high

play05:27

expectations of themselves they usually

play05:29

work themselves to the Bone trying to

play05:31

meet those unrealistic expectations so

play05:33

at the end of the day even if they don't

play05:35

meet them they'll still end up in a

play05:36

place far beyond everyone else's

play05:38

perceived expectations of them you get

play05:40

me so yeah how do I do what I do how am

play05:42

I able to dedicate 14 hours a day every

play05:44

single day seven days a week to my craft

play05:46

how is it that I can push myself to

play05:47

release a chapter every single month how

play05:50

is it that I've made hundreds of failed

play05:52

projects but continue to keep making

play05:54

more and more and more well it's because

play05:56

I'm to be very honest a little not so

play05:59

little delusional as hell but as I

play06:00

hinted earlier in the video that's

play06:02

simply not all to the story well what's

play06:03

the rest of the story then you may ask

play06:05

well I say to you hold on to your tidy

play06:06

whities I'll tell you an apologies as I

play06:08

put on my big boy disappointed dad type

play06:10

voice okay look art nerds to be honest

play06:13

I'm tired of that how are you able to do

play06:14

this question how do you make enough

play06:15

time for that are you able to be so

play06:17

consistent ugh shut up to me and I don't

play06:19

know if this is a douchebaggy thing to

play06:21

think this but it's a disrespectful last

play06:22

question to me like if you want it bad

play06:24

enough you'll make time for it what a

play06:26

stupid question to me I'm so sorry but

play06:28

it's such a dumb question maybe because

play06:30

I'm me and I know what it feels like to

play06:31

have the passion that I do so I know I

play06:33

would never ask a question like that

play06:34

like it's really simple if you want it

play06:37

bad enough you'll make the [ __ ] time

play06:39

for it so if you find yourself goofing

play06:40

off playing video games and doing

play06:42

everything else except what you claim

play06:43

you feel you need to be doing then use

play06:45

Flash buddy you don't want it bad enough

play06:47

and that might be hard to hear but

play06:49

you're most probably just a fan someone

play06:51

who just consumes the content not make

play06:53

it sorry not sorry not everybody is

play06:55

meant to be a Creator some people are

play06:57

just meant to consume and if you're

play06:58

saying well I have school and a job and

play07:00

seven kids I mean yeah I get it but then

play07:02

I'm also not gonna let that slide either

play07:03

because the sentiment is the same no

play07:05

matter how busy you are if you want it

play07:07

bad enough believe me you'll make time I

play07:10

promise you that I was a full-time

play07:11

student in college I had an actual job I

play07:13

had research projects I maintained a

play07:16

very healthy exercise Guild lifestyle

play07:17

and I was in a whole last relationship

play07:19

and I still made time and even if I had

play07:21

three kids I was a stay-at-home dad best

play07:23

believe I'm gonna be sat right there

play07:24

next to the crib rocking the little

play07:25

[ __ ] to sleep with one hand

play07:26

while I'm drawing Sasuke hitting the

play07:28

fattest Chidori with the other

play07:30

so to Circle back to the video topic yes

play07:33

wanting it bad enough is important as I

play07:35

just said but the reason people like

play07:37

Michael Jordan for basketball Mr Beast

play07:39

for YouTube Kanye West for music Jackie

play07:41

Robin for writing achieved what they

play07:43

achieved and they always talk about

play07:44

their mentalities and stuff so go watch

play07:45

and read their interviews but the reason

play07:47

they achieve what they achieved is

play07:48

because they had an obsessive delusion

play07:50

towards their craft and I know nothing

play07:51

is guaranteed but depending on what your

play07:53

personal art goes on my fellow art nerds

play07:55

maybe you should too I know I do
