Recently committed to pushing my art and myself and to put myself out there, and your videos have taught me more in the past month or two than I have managed to learn in the last year. I fell in love with art again. Thank you, dude. I would *love* a podcast from you, and I really loved this video; I'm down for more like this one - very much so.

This is super random, and I don’t know how old all of you all are. But I threw away a LOT of drawings when I was around 16 and I later regretted it SO MUCH because afterwards I improved so much but I have nothing to compare it to. And now that I’m older there’s an entire period when I *know* I drew like crazy but I almost have no art from that period. My point: make sure you keep drawings from every age, especially when you’re younger! Your older self will want to look back on those and go: AWW I was an adorable artist.

However I see really good looking art from like a 6th grader and I blame myself for stopping art around the same age. It’s hard to ignore.

I think there is a healthy dose of “disliking” your own work. You need to be a little critical of yourself to improve.

I've been an art teacher for quite a while now, and I can assure everybody that the ones who never worry about their art sucking are the ones whose art REALLY sucks, because they never feel impelled to make it better. And, hey, they're perfectly happy with it. Happier than any of the rest of us are with our own art, so what's the problem? Well, the problem of course is that while they're happy with their sucky art, nobody else is all that happy to look at it. Meanwhile, the artists who fret over their art sucking make art that others enjoy.

It took me years to get to a point where i was actually mentally and emotionally ready to focus on art, and I feel like people don't talk about that enough. Specifically, a change I have noticed is that instead of looking at someone like Josh and thinking "oh man his art is so good i could never do that" I now think "His art is so good and I could do that too" (with practice of course). I feel like that way of thinking will give you much more drive and help you fall in love with art more if you start believing that each piece helps you grow, even if it's minuscule, and that growth will never stop so long as you don't give up. Just enjoy it and relax in the meantime, and one day your art will be amazing too.

This. I just turned 33 and the drive and focus I have now is magnitudes higher than anything I had in my 20's. This is my 4th time restarting drawing and this time it wills stick. I've lived years without pursuing it and realize I will never be happy until I'm able to create the visuals I see in the world and in my head. It sucks starting this seriously so late, but one big benefit is I have over a decade of being an adult (in theory!) with a more varied appreciation of things than when I was a teenager. Even if I'm only improving 1% a day, that's better than 0%.

Recently I've caught myself in a loophole, where I constantly do studies and take notes and practice which I enjoy but only to an extent. What I truly enjoy most is the feeling of when I draw one of my own characters from memory, nothing else makes me as happy. Yet when I do, all I ever see are the mistakes and the flaws and it makes it so hard to enjoy my creation. I want to improve so bad, but it comes at the cost of enjoying art as a way to unleash creativity and more about studying, it becomes like a chore. I have the motivation and the drive, but I just wish I could truly be happy with my work again. People say art should be made with the intention of pleasing yourself, but recently that just hasn't been happening for me. I have no intention of giving up ever, not in a million years. But I do hope I can get through this phase sooner.

Where was my motivation, where is the fun gone. I had goals and dreams how could they shatter from one day to another. I had a talk with a friend a few weeks ago and thank god i did that.

really needed to listen to this right now. it feels so much easier to navigate artistic frustration when you’re being honest with yourself and sitting with your art, its potential and its flaws. reflecting on what drives you to create art in the first place helps you realize that the 10% is worth all the hard work and years you’ll spend improving. art is a neverending journey of exploring and experimenting and that should be a motivating aspect, not a discouraging one.

I went down this dark path where my thoughts were just me thinking that i have nothing to strive for so theres no reason for me to keep going in life if that makes sense. I had this feeling of me living worthless now because was the only thing i did when i was young and to feel like this now at the age of 25 i just dont know anymore. I recently deleted all of my art posts off my Instagram and during my time on Instagram i felt some inspiration come to me. I get this small urge now again to create something and im pretty happy i found this feeling again. I cant wait to create my vision and post it not caring as much anymore forcing myself having to post something that i dont really like.

Mental health has an enormous impact on your artistic life. Things like motivation and how you perceive your own art. I never met an artist who had a period like that and was happy with their art, IF they did any art at all. Because most can’t when they’re in that headspace. It’s pretty normal I think. But I’m super happy to hear you got inspired! From experience: start small, don’t put enormous amounts of pressure or personal art projects or whatever on yourself. :) Happy art making!

When I was still in high school I figured out how to use guidelines and how to set up light proportions. Before, I’d just “wing it”. I was happy about my progress but yeah, my style became much more realistic. My friends didn’t like it. Said it lost all it’s spontanaity. Oh well, it’s not their art. Glad I didn’t listen to them, I have my own art journey to follow. This kind of critique often comes form non-artists, too. And they don’t often understand what it means to improve your art. Sometimes you start something new and your art will look crappy for a while while you’re learning the new thing. That’s part of the process and nothing to be alarmed by. But if I’d have listened to my friends my growth would have stopped. Anyway, good luck! It’s not fun to hear. But in the end, it’s your art and your journey and no one has a final say in that. Only you.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO JOOOOOOOSH WHY DO YOU STILL HAVE TO REMIND ME THAT I SUCK 😭😭😭😭😭😭 ...but seriously though 😂😅😂, it is a long haul trip, this art improvement thing is. I used to follow an aDVicE from a certain artist on insta that you don't have to do it (ie. drawing, sketching, just practicing your art in general) very often to be able to improve (which is a weird advice, but his artworks were crazy good and got significant engagements on insta so I believed his aDVicE). I followed it and sure enough, the improvements were slow. Once I got to draw more often, my drawing started to improve (somewhat) more quickly (though admittedly still quite slow 😅, I started to draw more regularly around 2017 (wonky proportions and all) and I only got my proportions (somewhat) better in around 2019 (and this too, can still improve ofc)). So yeah, with the unholy algorithm being what it is (on whichever social media you are on 😫🙀), it's probably still best to just draw for your own goals, independent of any external sources of validation. Remember folks, it's a marathon! 🏃

I always feel like my art sucks but I kinda embraced this feeling and learned to see it as a positive thing. It's actually, in my opinion, an indicator of constant improvement. If it sucks it means either there's actually something wrong with it and I lack knowledge, or I'm not satisfied with the execution and the overall image doesn't look like I was imagining (that's lack of practical skills). So if you see that it doesn't meet your expectations you will strive to do better next time. But the most important thing about this is to actually analyse your work and understand why exactly you perceive it as bad. That way you'll learn your mistakes faster and know where to put your focus on to improve.

Lately I've been in a kind of funk, I have a lot of projects lined up to do for and with others but I just can't focus on anything because im very critical when it comes to my detailing. I've been trying to do study sketches in the mean time, I'll work on the projects on and off. I hate having time restrictions because I'm incredibly slow unless it's something I really want to draw. I could probably do so much more if I could stop being so hard on myself and plan things out better lol watching your videos has definitely been a help especially when you're talking about hating your own art, and things you can do to improve some things.

Ok this may be a long comment but bear with me. When I heard that ergojosh and I have the same age I asked myself "should I even try?" (I'm just getting started with fundamentals), I was going for an engineer title in college but I couldn't bring myself to finish the career even when I always got the highest scores and such, I really wasn't feeling any connection and it wasn't the direction I wanted for my life. That was a long time ago but I always had this itch whenever I saw art that I like and pondered on why I didn't continue to pursue that. The recent events forced me to reflect on a lot of things and I decided to start, this isn't a race against anyone except me, and even if I feel like I have a slow progress or that I'm not good enough, etc. I know that I will regret it if I give up on my dreams. I've never felt so close to the human side in general and both ergo and adam duff really inspired me, so in all honesty, thank you guys, after feeling lost for years, now I feel alive again, even when I get bored of studying, knowing that I'm doing it for something I actually want is refreshing, I wish this was an exageration but living without a sense of direction is harsh, and just... sad.

The 10% thing is really interesting to me. I used to be a photographer and the hit rate myself and my colleagues would get would be about 10% per shoot... Granted, we were shooting a lot of quick action stuff (and it's a similar case with weddings), and yeah we're often whittling down 6000 photos to 600... but yeah, it's the same amount. Obviously, not all of THESE shots are going to be 'portfolio pieces', I'd say about 10% max of those, and it's usually less the more experienced you get and more critical you are (or you can afford to be picky and have the body of work to fall back on if a certain shoot doesn't come up with any). And yeah, I think because of 'time spent' I've always felt that every art/sketchbook piece needs to be at least shareable, unless it's going in the ugly/thumbnail sketchbook, but the 10% hit rate thing is a really good reminder that I have absolutely needed!

I disagree that you should focus on another area of art if you are still working on the fundamentals of your preferred area. If you do that, you are going to take longer to get the skills down for your preferred type of art. You should focus on it, but I think it is better to just do casual drawings instead. So if you are working on drawing humans and you are getting burned out on the learning process, just have days when you create doodles of them instead.

I hope for everyone you don't push for perfection and expectation and just focus on the journey and consistency.

It is a funny feeling Josh. For some reason my recent "higher quality" work doesn't get that much love as my first sketchpad, maybe nostalgia, maybe I give the old works a pass because they were young. Now I'm much harder on my new drawings like they're children or something lol. Having high standards and expectations kills fun and love from the art grind.

I recently did ten, 1 minute figure drawings for the first time, (never did it timed before) and it was horrible, then I did it again and I improved greatly, then I was reccomended to carry my time up, so I did 3 minutes, and I drew a complete figure much better than one I took hours to draw, and never finished Figure drawing helps me get out of my comfort zone

THANK YOU JOSH . I agree the key to art is time and patience. I have been drawing for over 8 years and now I am 22. I can say that in these past couple of years, I have become more serious about wanting an art career. I am still learning so much at my university majoring in Illustration. I just want to draw everything, I believe one has to have the passion within. I have an IG and (fairly new) twitter incase anyone is interested- Keep up the great work(even if you don't show us most of it)) cause heck, I do that as well haha

The Little Cherry Blossom The way I actually improved my art was hating myself and my art. And I changed it so much and it helped me improve but that was so unhealthy for me. Still I sometimes hate my art, everyone says it's awesome but inside you have that feeling that they're lying. I want to improve more healthy with my art and you help me a lot! I love doing art! Its not like I don't enjoy making it! Ive always wanted to be an artist! But sometimes you just hate it. And there is a certain amount that is healthy but I was not healthy at all. My mental state was horrible but I'm working on being happier and watching your videos are so helpful!

The last months of 2020 I didn't do much art just for me. I worked hard for the studio 'm at and tried to put out some content for my small following of animation friends. Sometimes that sets our own growth on hold. Eventually I knew I just had to do something for me, for fun. So I started sculpt january and learnt tons of new things. It is a nice feeling to make just the things I want, so I can improve. This year will be about finding that balans, for me at least. 😊

I think the key thing is understanding the difference between negatively putting yourself down vs a genuine positive criticism. Also think about the people you expose yourself too and cut out anyone who just drains your energy and is a constant source of negative vibes.

I'm now going through art block and I am really frustrated, and I got easily agitated and I cry and mourn a lot for my art. I did wonder if it's my age - I feel ashamed for still drawing crappy art at this age, friends are progressing so well, gaining thousands, and hundred thousands of followers on IG, and me be like stuck for 100 for ages. I tried rationalize with myself. But the inferiority still coming back haunting. I started to wonder if I am just unfit as an artist? Why do I fail so badly on something I dedicate my life on? And then I think about my artwork - stuffs I used to be so excited when working on them. Back then I don't actually care about my skills, and I made friends during the journey. I was happy. I don't know when things start to change. I want to be better. But I don't know how. So I get into practicing gesture drawing for an hour everyday. But I still feel sad, I still feel like loser, I still feel like going nowhere. Still, I draw, and cry, and barely coping with my daily study. I feel dead inside. I want to draw happy stuffs too. But things that make me happy back then, I don't feel anything anymore But thank you for this video Josh. At least I don't feel alone

I became a graphic design major my sophomore year of college, & bc of that I didn't rly focus on any personal art until my senior year. Since graduating, I have worked 2 jobs in fields completely unrelated to art & have hated both. I wish I could do art FT but I also feel rly discouraged every time I sit down to create something. It never turns out even close to what I had imagined or hoped, & my skills are really shitty. I'm almost the same age as you (I'm 24) and yet my artwork is SO far behind from what you can create. Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth trying. I know other ppl can focus on their artwork & improve a LOT in a short amount of time. Even in college when I focused on my artwork, I never really improved all that much. I'm a slow learner & it is the worst thing ever. I hate everything that I make.

Hey Josh, love you as a person and your videos so much so I'm of course obligated to leave a comment here. For me the motivation question comes up a lot during streams, to the point where I will personally reach out to a few that appear to be struggling to get out of their head space. Art is, for me, more about the mentality that the skills and technical ability. To be at peace with yourself, accepting that mistakes come and will pass, and to approach things from a perspective of "play" and experiment is more valuable than how hard you grind. Thanks for the quality vid and talk! Cheers :D Fangedbunny

We always compare ourselves to other artists but then forget how many years they’ve been doing this for compared to yourself. I’ve done it. I look up to Ergo here and other artists but I shouldn’t be thinking wow I suck compared to him. I should think I haven’t had as much experience and studying as him but with time and practice I can get better. I love watching your videos and your live-streams. So chill and entertaining and very responsive. The advice from the old man was really something. And advice from Ergo is also really something. But one thing I gotta say is, you take forever to eat one cookie lmao 🤣😭

One of my own biggest struggles is honestly just trying to decide when I'm "done" with a sketch. How do you do that? I keep going back and tweaking things, and trying to improve them. I know at some point, you just have to put it down for good, but I'm having difficulty getting there.

(just kidding, it fits your style) btw your videos are even more educational than you can think - before viewing it i didn't know any other word for that piece of clothing except for the "hat". I only knew that a hat usually has brims (and that's the second word i learned, thx to Ergojosh!)

I must be an anomaly then I show like 99% of my work and even if I hate it or it sucks I'ma spring board off it and see if any feedback comes my way. Grow with a community. Also I'm using my platform to essentially teach younger artist's not to let the more advanced artist's accidentally lull them into the fantasy of always nailing perfection. DA allows for you the folder your work so it's beneficial to share sketches, failed work, fails and redos, etc...

I am happy with my art and I’m not gonna let a KZitemr try and make me feel like I’m not good enough. Stop reflecting on other ppl. Just give your tips and go. Nobody needs your negativity. And yes I have watched the video. Your tips are that. Tips. Stop trying to get everyone to do what you want.
