Much better than I could ever have imagined. I will start trying the things you suggested to become a more balanced and better artist. Thank you so much for posting such an insightful video. :)

The further you get with the logical stuff, the more it can take over, and even paralyze. Before film school I ran out with my camera and made movies with blind optimism. Learning how to make better movies also raised the bar and instead of a film a week I was making one every few months. Maybe they were better but I'd lost the endless cycle of improvement. I think you make a good point about shifting back and forth intentionally, to keep yourself flexible and grow in different ways. Now I try to run around with my camera like before, and have fun with it again, just with more knowledge in my back pocket.

I think the struggle is not really about improvement, because improving yourself is always good. But Technique VS. Meaning in art. And by that I don't mean that a piece has have a really deep, complicated meaning, but that sometimes some of them have really good technique and no "soul", basically they hold no personal meaning for you, just an empty piece. Sometimes that happens when you make a piece specifically to impress an audience and not for yourself.

The distinction between "silence for focus, music for whimsy" is very much accurate, at least in my own case. I do a lot of programming myself, and if I'm relaxing making something fun that doesn't require too much mind power, I love to have instrumental music going, but if I hit a problem or segment that requires me to learn new things, or focus on details and abstraction, I need to turn the music off and focus directly.

Maybe this is the reason people that listen to music while drawing tend to not notice when the music stops when they're focused. And they sit there for 20 minutes in silence before realizing the music stopped.
@gnarthdarkanen7464

Well, for what it's worth regarding music... I have found that "indirect listening" is as good as it gets. That is to say, having music "in the background" as you work at anything, as opposed to earphones on and volume jacked up. I'm not an expert, but it's far easier to lose track of time and just focus on what I'm doing with a little something fluid and artistic going on that it can be in dead silence (and I really can get to that dead silence level out here in the sticks)... Now, for some whimsical activities, as pointed out already, it's fine to jack that volume up and even sing along like a fool (cause I couldn't carry a tune with handles on it) and cavort around the piece scratching together doodles or just a montage of insanity. But that's not really the point of a focused effort or targetted approach to expression. It's just exercise in flourish and mechanically going through motions more than creating. (no, not that it's a bad thing. In fact everyone should probably do some of it...) At the same time, trying to focus too clearly in the heavy, deathly stillness of real silence is (or can be) in itself a distraction. Maybe I suffer a disorder, but it's so much easier to relax and let my mind do its thing when there's just a little "white noise" to compliment the general peace I seek to really think about what I'm doing as I'm creating... :o)

It's funny you make this video and mention your own video on listening to music. For a short while, I use to tell my friends not to listen to music because it would impede on their drawing, taking away from their focus. This seemed to be backed up by Barbara Oakley's course on "Learning how to Learn" and her book "A Mind for Numbers", where she defines two modes of the brain as "Focus" and "Diffuse" modes. About a month ago, I endeavored to learn to draw by way of "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards, and while her neuroscience is garbage nearly most of the time she talks about the brain in terms of left and right hemispheres, I did find myself pleasantly surprised here and there as I've gone through exercises. Early on though, during the upside down portrait of Igor Stravinsky, I found myself struggling with it on two occasions. Then, there was a moment where in which I questioned if maybe I was putting too much focus on the task at hand. That I was becoming too focused on the little details and seeing the picture. Putting on music did something wonderful: I lost track of time and was almost in a trance of automatic drawing. While Stravinsky's head is disproportional and poor (though understandable in a way), the picture as a whole came out fine, and I was highly proud of myself While I can in no way explain or backup my claims, I feel that in some cases, music helps to bring a sort of trance, especially when that music is nothing crazy (I listen to a collection of TOHO BOSSA NOVA albums when drawing). Time seems to altogether be lost between the music and the focus on the task of drawing. There is also furthermore a sort of needed apathy for myself brought about this mood, for where I would usually feel the pores of my skin burst with every self degrading criticism and confusion of how lines represent certain contours, music shuts this up as I focus on the task of simply doing what I can. I'm uncertain where I'm going with this, but I do believe that to some degree then that music helps to do something that helps distract the brain from our normal frustrations while drawing. Maybe it's the so-called "Diffuse" mode Professor Oakley describes, where the brain isn't particularly focused on anything at all, and any attempt to focus on anything is a loose focus on that task at hand. This is something I have been pondering for a long while now so far as I try to apply it more generally in life, if I can.

Man, I was exactly on this situation last week. I was reading "The Idiot's Guide to Learn to Draw" where pretty most of the firts chapters are based on the Betty Edwads Exercises. I was pretty scared with all this talk about being "lefty-brained" or "righty-brained".Because I come from the technology area where I learned to develop a pragmatic and very logic way of thinking. This was pushing me hard against my art studies. I can't even hold a pen without fear the anxiety laughing at every single mark I put on paper. It's insane. When I was doing the upside-down drawing exercise I kept to much focus on the details. So I just decided to put some music (Synthwave with a bit of Outrun music, btw. A bit crazy but not too much distractive, I guess :P) and I just lost myself on the sense of time, like you said. The result was not a very precise drawing with pretty obvious proportion erros, but it has much more details that I didn't have perceived before when doing the right-side-down drawing. And still, I didn't have to struggle against myself to any mark that I put down on the paper.

I'm an artist who's always drawn creatively without really studying much, thinking only my intuition could make up for it. Obviously it didn't work. Just recently, for the first time, I started studying anatomy, proportions and also perspective. After a period I was really happy because I was tired of my art not living up to my expectations, because I had no knowledge whatsoever (I just ended up thinking I hadn't enough talent to learn), and I was seeing the results of my studies. Only that, those improvements, those new things I was doing, had made me a completely different artist if compared to what I was and how I was drawing before. Like, before I would construct my anatomy instinctively, now I need to draw circles to define body volumes because it helps me visualize the anatomy I've learned and it usually makes me come up with a better level of art. But it seems like I've completely lost my capacity to draw more dynamic and free figures like this! Sometimes my current drawings look worst than the ones I used to do before my perspective and volume studies: I'm becoming something new and it's scaring the shit out of me because I have no idea where it'll lead me. I really am worried that I'll amount to something worst than what I used to be and these videos of yours are helping me out a big deal, because I've lately started to dread the moment when I'd pick up pencils or tablet to make art. I'm trying not to procrastinate, I'm trying to draw NOT 5 hours everyday, but at least half a hour and so on. I want to go deeper into fundamentals, but I really am terrified. I want to be a good artist, I want for this thing I love to be my job one day, but I don't know what I'm even doing anymore. Sorry for the rant, everyone. This is my own experience as beginner artist and I hope I can come back here one day and see how different I've become, in a good way. Thank you for the inspiring words.

But like if you take it to the point where you think you must know what every single fiber of your being, in or out is, then you're just stressing yourself out. It's easy to get too focus on researching rather than drawing the actual body part. Which Is why I think it's more important to get familiar with the relationships between each and every body part, and how they work together like a team. Muscles are important too obviously. I hope I'm making sense about this.

But as I progressed, I realized I really need complete silence when I'm doing studies or preparing precise sketches. Then when I move to something that feels to me like I don't need to think about it that hard like linework or coloring, I listen to music and have fun. Switching between the two is really important to me.

Whenever I DO draw my friends tell me I'm great but I feel if I'm to draw a human face and body with everything in place I'd struggle A LOT. Paintings too. The ideas are there and I like to express them in my own style, which is quite spontaneous and sometimes sloppy. I do enjoy drawing but I can never learn to draw to perfect because I either have such little patience or an imagination that can't stand to take the time and study something. It just wants to do its own thing.

I think a great deal of it is personality-based more than right/left brain art mode, with background stimuli like music, etc. Some people (like myself) simply can't focus on EITHER type of drawing with distractions outside my own head. Other people NEED music, podcast, TV, people, etc. around in order to do both right/left brain-driven activities. So this might be a general guide, but like everything in art, I don't think it can be set in stone that "this is how it is for everyone".

Just like most things, the best way to get started on something is to do one simple action and this action will quickly motivate you to do something else and get you into the flow or momentum that everyone always strives for when accomplishing a task. If you think what you have in your mind looks stupid and you just refuse to draw it out of fear of being ashamed of how it looks, don't even think and instead start of wire-frame of that thing you have in your head, this will eventually override your negative thoughts about it and you might start adding depth or color to it, before you know it the picture will be complete and you will have the amazing feeling that your expectations and destructively negative thoughts kept you from even trying to make what you were envisioning initially.

I've been told I'm good at designs. Art is a hobby and I don't take it too seriously now, but I still use base lines and references.

I relate to the creative side so much. I'm willing to learn how to be better, but I have really low self-esteem for my work and it really discourages me.

funny you uploaded this video at that time because I've been thinking a lot about this topic myself. I am the more 'not so logical thinker' type. I am currently studying color theory and composition, I find this very interesting and good to know but for me it is such a pain to measure out things and follow all those rules,for example anatomy. I just draw and I am more satisfied with the results than with all the measuring. (I know about how human proportions should be and I adjust them by eye on how I want them to be, if my skill allows this xD") I am guilty of 'only doing studies' because I tend to tell myself :I'll draw a finished artwork when I am good enough.' but after realizing that this time will probably never come I could overcome this thinking process and just start doing artwork besides doing studies. :3

I find myself researching and researching all sorts of things before I bring pin to paper, and before I know it I’m face-first into a psychology lesson as to better understand a condition I may or may not give one of my characters. Other times I make a beautiful, intricate first scene. It has rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, and above all, imagery and detail. Anything after that is exhausting and burdensome; imperfect. It feels like I either spend eternity in sketch mode, or I spend an arduous amount of effort into sketching and painting at the same time. I think I’m more on the left side, and so I need to venture past the first scene and so on.

Nice video! I agree that someone should focus more with the stuff you don't know, or haven't tried yet. I've been just drawing with the right side of the brain for a long time. Results can be interesting, but now that I've been learning about anatomy, I can notice how much I'm improving. When I'm drawing just for fun, I do it while listening to music and try to do something nice only with what I know using "both sides", and the results, based on how I see them, and how some friends (who are also into drawing) see them, will give me an idea of which side I should focus more while practicing.

You know... I'm really good at doing ONE of those. At a time. I'm horrible at switching between them, though, which means I swing from one extreme to the other. Perfectionist study one moment, and completely undirected "I have no idea what this is going to turn into" the next. This has made getting better at anatomy difficult; I find myself either loosely drawing a silhouette which flows naturally without the need of any analytical building of the form (it comes out looking perfectly proportioned and very dynamic/lifelike), or rigidly placing every single muscle in exactly the right place (which seems to sap all the life out of any character I draw with a sort of formulaic sterility).

I think this is a more universal set of concepts than just drawing, this "right or left brain" thing. When I tried to learn game development I found a similar thing. Once I got the basics of the engine, I needed to have a minority of the time devoted to learning new techniques as it started to get simply too draining to always try to do everything the perfect, right optimized way all the time especially since I didnt even know what that was yet. I found the most enjoyable times were when I used what little knowledge I had and stretched it as far as I could in a creative way to get my game mechanics made, even if pretty soon I would find a technique that would make all the work "for nothing". I think it made the techniques stick better because of the positive experiences associated tho

I focus more with music or a calm podcast. It keeps me on task. Or i will be wandering and feeling bored. Or i would do nothing at all.

Things affect different people's focus differently as well. With some types of music, and for some people, music can sometimes help you focus and problem solve, but it depends. I remember when I went to high school, I went to a school with many people on the spectrum, and listening to music helped many of them focus on their school work better. Although, judging on my experiance, that might've been mostly because a lot of people wouldn't shut up, and music was better than the distracting noises and talking coming from everyone lol.

For the first 6 months when I drew, I went into the "hardcore logical" mode you're describing, and I improved extremely quickly. However, I find it hard to motivate myself to do realism anymore to do shitty 10 minute sketches of whatever comes to mind. I guess I've done a 180 in the past 8 months of drawing. I plan to do more realism in the future though.

with all things concerning two opposite ends, I believe there is a balance to be struck. I like to listen to ambient sounds of nature (such as rain, ocean waves, etc), as well as ambient and instrumental music while I draw. The music just can't contain any vocals or words as this is what I find to be much more distracting rather than the music itself. Having something going without voices like rain or instrumental music helps to keep the subconscious busy and satisfied, while not pulling the focus away from your logical/focused mindset. best of both worlds eh?

We should also remember we all work different and there’s no one right way to draw, I like to think I’m more “logical” yet I do just fine with music while drawing. It’s my escape

I kinda already am creative and I'm already a perfectionist and I've only drawn what I want to I've just taken note of things I notice about my art that I found uneven in the past and it's been enough to push me to perfect my angles and spacing the only thing I really struggle with is drawing things that are like architecture and I can't do it cause I just find it boring I used to draw flowers and grass a lot when I was little I guess I just like to draw what I like and I've never been good at drawing like houses and such I just can't keep my lines straight enough and I feel like a ruler is cheating and even then it's hard to match the angles
