well thats pretty good. BUT HAVE TO NOTE SOMETHING. when considering the possible beautiful unique looking creatures present in a videogame (main form of artwork besides animation movies) one could make it so that there is approximately 25 videogames science fiction with large variety in each (15--28 factions species) and there is around 1500--2500 videogames with just 1-2 species factions besides humans for instance. Now armour design is also limiting, in case of small videogames with not as many species there can have some more similarities in armour with armour beautification. making science fiction is a privilege. I have some science fiction ideas as for compositions but i am not too good at drawing plus so far i lack a team. I am not sure if i should give it away so others can further develop it. Your vehicle designs look great but need some touchup. so there can be a little more when considering artowrk of largely humans perhaps sometimes anime-ish (but i am not all for anime other then a niche) It seems to me that one person wants to encourage me to make my own game. I imagined quite a number of awesome meshwork patterns which i consider major guidance patterns for things. Perhaps i should be better off learning to draw and memorize those meshwork patterns. BUT thats worky worky, and myself am not necesserily the best for worky worky. more like having fun on occasions.

Best tip I learned this year... Do art for yourself first. If you genuinely love your art, do it for yourself, because that's what makes you happy. Because your creations makes you happy 😊 I feel like this makes the road so much less difficult because it no longer feels like a task to draw/paint. Just my two cents

Struthless has a video all about feeling like you’re behind if you want more advice on that! I feel the same in 28. It’s hard not to compare yourself to others but literally all that does is make you feel bad. Comparing yourself to others doesn’t improve your art or make you money. My personal goal is simply to finish a project I care a lot about and it’s ok if it takes me years as long as I complete it.

The whole 'be your best friend' thing is actually really important. I just finally finished my first ever comissions about and it was an actual chore because I had become a serial procrastinator and I was beating myself over it. But then my mom came around telling us that she had just read a book about self talk and how it can affect how you do things during the day. If you tell yourself 'I should be doing x' then you are not going to do it. But if you tell yourself 'I CAN do x' you will do it. And if you tell yourself 'I am DOING X and I am doing it great!' then you will absolutely do it and will probably do it well too.

It'd endanger me to do that--not to mention how everyone needs to care for their mental and physical health alike--so I often feel inferior thanks to my body.

My main quest this year is drawing as many tigers as I can because I know it would be crazy satisfying to see first and last tiger of the year if I stick to this challenge and the side quest is to make it varying in different mediums so that I don't burn out. I was born in the year of the tiger so this year is the perfect year to honor myself by learning to draw tigers like a little high five to myself. ^^ I'm excited to later this year play with poses and lighting and at some point I will attempt to draw a tiger under Northern lights just to "see" how all those greens would play on the tigers features. Having these "ultimate ideas" to build up to feels really motivating! Like being in a video game and leveling up until you can use a certain cool sword or something. I want to draw cubs, I want to draw two tigers interacting, I really just want to get to know tigers really well from all angles. ❤ To be self kind though I am starting at lunar new year until next lunar new year because I'm recovering from covid so I'm not jumping into "questing" yet. This art piece you did was so inspiring, I'm so glad you did it! Hope you are doing well. 💜

And just today, I saw one of my friend's beautiful paintings on Instagram, and it motivated me so I spent more than 5 hours trying to paint a simple landscape. but it was terrible from all perspectives. And needless to say, I was devastated since my friend and I were almost on the same page when it came to drawing and painting. I felt like I had fallen behind. The fourth habit was just what I needed to hear. Thank you.

For me some of these work (and I started applying something similar a while ago already) but #3 and #5 don't: turning studies into projects, that I tried in the past, only pushed me into horrible art blocks where I couldn't even think about projects nor touch studies. And the grind really works for me. Grinding doesn't mean hustle and despair - for me it's just that I have daily routine, yes, studies I mentioned for 3# xD And when I stick to the schedule I planned I feel better mentally because I know what I did, what I learnt that day, and I see results on daily basis. All I had to do was to push myself a little harder towards studying instead of chasing after big projects I dream to finish. Everyone needs to find their own way and not every tip and approach that works for others will work for us. And I love that Ross said in the end that he hopes we'll find some of them useful, he doesn't say that these are things we have to do, it's just his suggestion based on his experience :)

This actually teared me up, I feel burnout and feel... a bit leftout as being an artist. it feels suffocating especially when Im around my succesful artist friends, this kind of words cheered me up a little, even if my negative keeps bringing me down. Thank you 🙌❤️

Hey man, I just want to say that I´ve discovered your videos as of recently and they´ve really helped me to stay motivated. I´m a 28 year old teacher in 3D but I´ve always wanted to be a concept artist. However I never really made it in the industry. But you have some great insights, which help me to keep me level headed, and eventhough I don´t get the chance to practice the craft as often as I´d like. I haven´t given up yet. So I just wanted to say thank you for that. I really connect with what you said about being your own best friend. Whatever skills I lack as an artist I seem to have in abundance when it comes to picking myself apart. This often stops me from posting any work on my portfolio which has hindered me a lot. But I´m trying to turn it around and your videos really help. So keep up the good work!

Thank you so much Ross!! I think many have already said it, but #5 is something not preached enough! No matter your age, it's important to enjoy your learning rather than forcing yourself through it to catch up with others or reach your goals! Art should be fun, so no one should feel ashamed for their art being where it is based off of age! Thank you so much for your videos Ross, they really help me! I'm happy you're still having fun drawing and learning!

For the tip 3, i have one example. I wanted to learn to draw hands so i started making a game about handmen with eyes. And now its becoming my first ever commercial game!

I'm 32 and just really starting to draw "seriously", I was a huge doodler growing up, but didn't draw anything for literally 10 years after graduating college. I'm having tons of fun with it already.

Ross, but really, can we just rename the video to "5 CRUCIAL Habits to Become a Better Everything in 2022"? Those tips you've just mentioned are applicable to everything in life. Point 1 to 5 all just resonated deeply. ❤️

I feel so much better after watching this video Ross! I'm an art student who just finished my last semester of school in the fall, and I've been feeling so burnt out from art itself, and after hearing your tip #5, I feel better knowing that it is ok to just take a pause to take time to myself, instead of just jumping into the next thing. Thank you so much Ross! You're the artist I've looked up to for a long time, and inspired me to pursue my passion for art, and seeing this video really helped me, so thank you again! ❤️

I started working as an artist a year ago, and in the beginning I had a lot of patience and will to grind,..but "accidentally", after 6 months of constant hard work I faced the deepest burnout I've ever had. It was painful to even *look* at my tablet, how crazy is that. But now I'm willing to get back to the business and hope this time I won't work myself to the death. Good luck, folks!! Have a pleasant year y'all🥺🌟

Lots of 23's fellow here, haha. Yeah, it's true sometimes I feel somewhat obligated to do more than I could've done till I run out of gas. But looking back, that's so toxic and drained myself, and quite dreadful. Your advice are hit home for me. I'll try to impose that to my life now. Sincerely thanks, Ross!

I was about to retort "well, I'm not 23, I'm 28, so it actually is a rush" but like... that's literally what you're saying. There isn't a threshold where it becomes healthy to think like that. You've got something you're working on. You're going to work on it until it's done. And it will be done when it's done, no sooner.

thank you so much for making this, i've recently come to an art block and it's really refreshing to hear someone talk about art habits as a reminder!
