日常記錄-全職藝術家

大家好,我在錄製這部影片的幾天後 我想告訴大家,我正在努力改善這部影片 當我看這部影片成為一個Podcast時 我經常會討論一些事情,而這部影片絕對不是例外 我還做了一段簡介和一段後製 我還有計劃進一步改善這部影片的形式 我希望在影片結束時開始做一個Q&A 如果你們有任何疑問,我將在下星期回答 無論如何,我希望你們享受這部影片 大家好,歡迎來到另一部影片 我將在這部影片中描繪和討論 我們討論任何事情,最近我們幾乎都在描繪任何事情 我並沒有計劃在這部影片中討論任何事情 但我將在這部影片中描繪 這將是一部比較普遍的討論 我將在這部影片中描繪 這只是一些隨機的東西 但我計劃在這部影片中製作一些項目 因此,我將在這部影片中製作一些項目 我將使用這項目作為一個機會 製作一些背後的故事 我計劃在這部影片中製作一些背後的故事 我將在這部影片中製作一些背後的故事 我將在下一部影片中討論我的想法 因為它們有點奇怪 但我想做一些不曾做過的事情 我還在想如何在影片中使用這些畫作 我將在這部影片中製作一些不曾做過的事情 我將在這一部影片中製作一些不曾做過的事情 因為我認為我分享我的過程中有很多機會 而在畫作的過程中 它不僅是在畫作的結局 它不僅僅是在畫作的結局 有趣的是,這就是我當時在建築課程時的方式 很多同學都很擅長表達 他們很擅長解釋他們的訊息和設計 這是一種技巧 但我從來沒有這麼擅長溝通 我估計自己是個比較弱智的人 我甚至無法錄製這些 這不是我每個星期天早上都想錄製的東西 但在錄製這部影片之前 我已經錄製了一些教學 他們很快就會上傳到我的頻道 但回到我剛才所說的 當我在建築課程時 但後來三年後 我開始更擅長溝通 我覺得這對我來說有很大的幫助 我覺得他們做YouTube和建築課程都做得很好 因為表達語言是很重要的 在這兩項領域都很重要 所以我在YouTube錄製視頻 我在YouTube錄製視頻 然後我會去大學 嘗試溝通我的作品給觀眾 把訊息和意見傳遞到他們身上 我覺得我做了很多 所以這對我來說有很大的幫助 在做大學和YouTube之前 我其實是個很安靜的人 我總是保持著自己 因為我從來都不像這樣 在大學和年輕的時候 我以前是比較出眾的 我比較能和人交流 但當我長大了 然後我開始讀高中 我開始對我的朋友 在大學有20個人 然後你進入高中 突然有100個人 所以在大學 你知道所有人 因為你不太會認識很多人 但當你進入高中 突然有更多人 就像魚從海裡跳到海裡 突然你面對這些新的人 他們各有不同的風格 我覺得這樣很好 因為你能和更多人交流 他們有你和你的同樣的興趣 這就是在高中發生的 你會遇到不同的人 他們有自己的名譽 我們都知道 他們有自己的名譽 通常你會沉浸在 你和更多人交流的人身上 通常你會沉浸在 我們有同樣的興趣 這就是這樣 但這是一個奇怪的時刻 他們仍然在發展 他們不太瞭解自己 我認為很多人不太瞭解自己 他們不太瞭解自己 可能很多可能的做法 可能很多的做法 我仍然想決定 我真的想做什麼 我不認為我喜歡做什麼 不堪言論 我只是在質疑 現在是對的事情,我應該做的事情,你知道嗎,因爲我們不知道,我們只知道 後來,當我們回頭看,並反思生命,並希望我們做得不錯,你知道嗎, 那是唯一一件我真的想做的事情,就是做一件我蠻自豪的事情, 呃,那是一種那那是我正在做的,我正在盡力追求20歲的全職藝術, 這是挑戰性的,但是我正在學習所有這些新的東西,我正在努力追求它, 它是一種雙刀刀,因爲它牽涉到很多的戰鬥,就像它需要很多的犧牲和其他東西, 但是我喜歡它的對手,因爲它也讓你成爲一個人, 因此,你學習更多自己,正在嘗試追求一些意義的東西, 這也是挑戰性的,這是我真正的,呃,我認爲這也是我對此感興趣的, 這就是爲什麼畫畫對我來說非常吸引,因爲它來自,它不是一個簡單的技能, 它不是一個簡單的技能,所以它是一件你每天都可以練習的東西, 然後時間過去,呃,你知道,練習和決心會融合,你會變得更好, 呃,我只是喜歡這個概念的細緻發展, 我其實想做一個全部的視頻,只是談談一些,呃, 類似於我現在正在做的挑戰,但是我不想讓它 看起來像是一個視頻,我只是在抱怨,因爲我並不像我現在有 一個機會,我現在有時間在我的20歲,不是浪費,而是使用, 呃,並且,你知道,我能夠做到這些責任和努力,因爲我 並沒有,不過,在某種程度上,我並沒有很多責任, 呃,你知道,我並沒有一個家庭或任何東西,並不像我正在做這件事 在我遲到30歲或任何東西,因此,這就是我如何應對這件事,我認爲, 因爲時間是最值得的東西,你不能將金錢的價值放在時間上,因爲 它是一件事,它一旦消失,它就消失,所以我只想確保 我正在使用它正確的方式,這將是每個人都會有不同的,呃, 但是我看待它的方式是,如果我現在有很多時間在犧牲, 並嘗試建造所有這些,並嘗試真正追隨這幅畫的東西,那麼 也許我將能夠享受更多時間在未來,對吧,我反而比較喜歡 這種生活方式,我肯定不會花很多錢在 時間上,因爲我有我的省錢,它們在那裏,就像你知道的, 我所存的錢是一種啓動器,它讓我嘗試做這些 YouTube的東西,Patreon和我的畫,老實說,我真的不在乎 很多錢能買到的東西,你知道,只要它能夠,呃,再次支持 我喜歡做的東西,呃,畫的東西,我意思是,有時候我感覺 我只要一個臥室,像是一個房間,然後有一個桌子和一些畫布 ,我感覺我會很好,你知道嗎,這可能會聽起來有點傻, 當然,你需要錢,呃,健康,生活,買東西,收費, 所有這些東西,呃,但是是的,正如我所說,呃,我只是23歲, 這是一種年輕,你知道嗎?有時候我感覺它是很快的, 呃,但希望在我早達20歲時,我能夠稍微 花點時間,你知道嗎? 我能夠馬上跳進所有這些東西,你知道嗎?有時候我,我不知道,我 很擔心或者擔心這些決定有多持續,呃,如果我只是 畢業,然後跳進,呃,一個9-5的工作室,你知道嗎? 它是一種,我知道,我不知道,但是我猜我只是一年 因爲很多人畢業,然後他們去旅行,呃, 一段時間,呃,他們只是休息一下,在他們進入所有這些 ,呃,東西,所以這就是我所做的一部分,除非我沒有 一年旅行,我只是,呃,一年左右做YouTube和製作 圖片,所有這些東西,呃,誰知道它會去哪裏,你知道嗎? 如果它不去任何地方,它不,它不重要,如果它去某個地方, 我只會飛行,就像我能做到,對吧? 嗯,然後就把它拿走,但是我已經充滿了想法,有時候它很令人 過意外,因爲我有所有的這些想法和事情我想做,但是 我只有一個,呃,所以有時候我一種 有點有夢想,我想做的事,然後它就要做,然後我就 I could maybe this isn't going to pay off the time that it takes to do it. And the result of it in the long run, it probably will. But you know, as soon as I am sort of trying to, I am on sort of not like a deadline, but I don't have all the time in the world to pursue all of that stuff. You know, so yeah, I want to start making some more videos on the second channel, which I created, Dan Creates. And I'm like halfway through two videos for that. And I've just been meaning to finish it. But since I've started doing these and the Patreon videos, the exclusive tutorials over on Patreon. And then I also try and do another video every week. I've been uploading a lot on this channel. And I'm trying to keep the consistent uploads going. And so it's hard to find the time where I can just finish off those videos. But I do feel like if I did, then they'd probably end up, you know, getting a lot of attention later on. Because YouTube, like doing YouTube, it's a long process. You don't just put out one video and then build a YouTube channel. Or at least, I mean, there might be some exceptions, but a lot of the time it takes a lot of time, a lot of time where you're just not even getting anything from it. It starts off as just like a hobby. You're doing it out of the love of doing it. And that's exactly what I was doing. And then all of a sudden you sort of build a small little audience and you can start getting a bit of revenue from it. It's not a lot, depending on how many views you get. But it's sort of like, I'd probably still be doing YouTube even if I wasn't getting any revenue from it. And I don't really get that much, to be honest. That's why I've started the Patreon as well. And so if you're listening to this and you have gone over onto the Patreon page, then thank you for your support over on there. I am working on doing some pretty good quality tutorials on there as well. So if you haven't checked it out, then go ahead and have a look. But just you watching this video and spending time with me today is enough for me. I'm grateful to even have any audience. And I actually posted a comment on the last video that I made the other day. The how to draw from your imagination advice from experience video. I posted a comment to you all saying thanks for 250 subscribers. And I said that I'm just very grateful for having an audience who shares the same passion for drawing. Because there isn't a lot of people that I know in my life who, I can't really name anyone, to be honest, who I hang around with who enjoys drawing or enjoys creating. That's crazy, actually. Because I've just, like, obviously I've just thought about it. And there really isn't, nobody comes to mind who I hang around with who sort of does what it is that I'm doing. Or at least even, you know, draws or creates or anything like that. I mean, there are people and friends who appreciate all of this stuff. But they don't do it themselves, you know. And so to have, like, a community where I'm sort of able to be more involved in this sort of The environment where drawing is a main priority. It's good because it encourages me to learn. And I'm also able to communicate with you In these videos. And so, yeah, it's good. But if you want to ask me any questions or anything, then feel free to comment down below. Because I'm going to be doing a Q&A segment in these videos where towards the end of them I just answer some of your questions. I think actually in the last episode I asked you to leave some questions as well. And I was like, ask me anything. You can even ask me, you know, what sandwich I like and stuff. And I was joking. But then, like, three of you went ahead and asked me what my favourite sandwich is. So I'm going to answer that question. My favourite sandwich. Well, I don't know. To be honest, I don't even know why I put that idea out there because I don't really eat a lot of sandwiches. I mean, I'm easy. I'll go for anything. But if I was going to pick one, I eat a lot of tuna. So I guess that could be a tuna sandwich. And I know there's probably some of you listening right now who are sat there in disgust. And are probably dislike in this video because, you know, you have a hatred for tuna. But it's nothing personal. OK, so don't worry too much about it. If you could give this video a like, that'd be much appreciated. But anyways, I'm trying to sort of think of a segue to get out of this sort of situation where I'm talking about sandwiches. Again, I said at the beginning of this video I didn't really have anything planned for this episode. It's literally just an episode of me rambling about anything. I don't even know what I'm going to title this. But the reason why I didn't really have anything planned was because, like I said earlier, things are getting on top of me a bit, especially this week, because last weekend I went away. I went to Amsterdam for my friend's stag do. He's getting married. And so I went there with a few friends. And that's a crazy place. But then I've just come back and realized that I have to, like, catch up on a few things that I missed out on because I didn't... Usually I work on, like, some kind of a schedule. And obviously I missed two days. And so I need to catch up on a few things. I didn't really have time to plan anything specific for one of these. It's literally just me talking and going on about anything. And I'm sort of staring at the time. I'm like, 20 minutes in. OK, we've got about 10 more minutes to go. But, yeah, I think, like... I'm going to improve these episodes a bit. Obviously some of you have said that you want the audio link so you can just listen to them. And I'm going to be putting them on SoundCloud. And I think... Because I looked into it. I think from SoundCloud you are then able to upload it onto iTunes. And so I'll try and do that. But, again, I kind of like this just to be on YouTube as well because not only is the drawing playing in the background and I'm not sure if any of you actually watch that. I know that some of you have said that you sort of enjoy listening to these whilst you are working and drawing yourself. And so that's good. I'm glad that you are listening to these whilst you are working because that's what I do. I mean, when it comes to podcasts I usually just have them on in the background whilst I'm drawing or I'm listening to music or something. Sometimes I listen to audiobooks but, you know, I don't do that as often because I always seem to... When it comes to a podcast you can sort of switch off a little bit whilst you are drawing as well. So you're concentrating on the drawing. But when you're listening to an audiobook it takes a bit more concentration and I feel like... You know, I can't divide my attention up 50-50. It needs to be like a good... I don't know, 80-20 or... I don't know, probably like 70% drawing and then 30% attention on the podcast. But a podcast just goes... sort of like goes in and out. It doesn't really matter. But a book, you sort of have to consume it a bit more and it takes a bit more work. Whereas if you miss a chapter then you're pretty much screwed. You know, there's no point listening to the book anymore. But yeah, I listen to quite a lot of podcasts. You know, the usual. I sometimes listen to Joe Rogan. You know, there's other comedians' podcasts that I listen to sometimes. There's a good art one as well that I've been listening to for a long time now. It's called Art Cafe. You can listen to it on YouTube. And it's this dude called Mature. He sort of like gets a load of concept artists on and people who are working in the industry. And obviously if you are taking advice from them, then it's going to benefit you because they're people who are experienced. And so I really recommend that podcast. It's good. And he has loads of interesting people on. And yeah, I know quite a bit about like concept art because of that podcast. Like there was a time where I think I was halfway through my architecture course and you know, I was like ah shit, did I make the right decision? Like should I have gone into games design? Because some of the stuff that these people are talking about sounds really good. And I'm sat here trying to I don't know, work on AutoCAD or something. But I feel like all of these different creative fields and stuff there's no like... Obviously you'll learn a skill but there's no limit to it. You can always build on the skills that you learn. And I think that even having an understanding of architecture would be useful when it came to concept art. Obviously a full degree in architecture is a bit overboard when you are just painting buildings. But obviously it's probably going to be useful in a way. I think that like I said in one of the previous videos that I did. The more you know about something the easier it is to draw it. And then it kind of complements each other because I always find that when I'm drawing something I'm also learning about it visually because I'm taking a lot of time studying it. And if I'm working from a reference image I'm sort of looking at what it is that I'm drawing. Sometimes when it comes to realistic drawing you're not really looking at the subject you're just looking at the textures that you are having to produce. But if you spend your time improving your visual library like I spoke about then obviously you are drawing something on various angles and you are trying to you're studying the object you are drawing and you're paying more attention to it and so drawing is a great way to learn and obviously that's been proven with artists throughout the centuries. Leonardo da Vinci he used to draw pretty much everything. He used to cut people open and draw and study that way which is pretty insane. I mean some of you ask me if I'm going to start the anatomy videos again and yeah I will get to that eventually after I'm done with all of the perspective stuff. But I mean when it comes to the anatomy stuff get ready for a new video where I'm cutting open a body on screen and showing you the ins and outs of the human body. You know? I mean that would be yeah that would be a pretty interesting video but that's probably what they'd do back then if they had video cameras and YouTube was a thing back then. I wonder if Leonardo da Vinci would be on YouTube. Probably not. He probably would dislike YouTube. Or who knows maybe he'd be the opposite. What if like he had a YouTube channel with all of these crazy videos where he has all of these like clickbait titles and thumbnails of all of his inventions. Except it's funny because none of those would be misleading. Like Flying Machine Travels 10 Miles is one of his titles and then someone clicks on the video and they're actually not disappointed because Leonardo da Vinci has invented a flying machine. It's kind of weird to like imagine if all of these famous artists had all of this like all of the tools and resources that we have today if YouTube was a thing back then. I mean like Picasso. What would Picasso do? I think like that guy would be I reckon he'd start a YouTube channel like doing something that's really successful. Vlogging or something. Imagine Picasso vlogging. But then like all of a sudden he'd get to like and he'd just stop uploading all of the content he was known for. And then he'd be doing something really abstract and different. You know kind of like what he did with his artwork over the years. Like he started off creating all of those crazy realistic paintings. And then all of a sudden he started transitioning into the more experimental stuff and the abstract stuff that he's famous for now. He wanted to recapture that raw and honest sort of sense that a child has when they create artwork. You know with their free imagination that isn't affected by any of the cultural norms or the sort of standards and pressures that we put on ourselves as more developing artists. That's quite an interesting subject actually that I could get into in another episode. I might talk a bit about that stuff about children's drawings and you know because it always sort of fascinated me how every child starts out drawing and then you know people stop drawing at a certain age and then there is other people who carry it on. Yeah I'll probably do an episode on that because we're coming up to the 30 minute mark now and this is when I usually end the episode. You know I've been contemplating whether I want to make these episodes longer but in all honesty guys I don't think I have it in me. Like this is quite challenging for me to do these and sometimes I'm always like questioning whether I should re-record a lot of them because I just put them out there and I'm like ugh nobody wants to hear me talk about all of this stuff like why do people care but that's just that's just sort of like my own self-doubt which I'm sort of battling against but with each episode with each week if I can keep on top of this I'll hopefully improve and with your support and you watching then you know it will encourage me to keep it up. Also if you want to check out the videos which I've created on the Patreon page there's a link in the description I'm going to be improving these episodes I'm probably going to work on creating some kind of an intro today for these or an outro or both and then I think I'm going to do that Q&A segment again and I want to make them more YouTube friendly in a sense you know because this is this is in the format of a video but it's really more or less audio based but you can consume them in any way really there isn't one way to to watch these but again yeah I suppose today I just talked about everything really I didn't really stick to one thing but that's the beauty of it right that's why this podcast is about because it gives me a chance just to be myself and talk to you and actually connect with you as an audience a bit better and hopefully you are enjoying these and obviously I'll work on improving them I have some exciting stuff coming I want to start focusing a bit more on colouring my artwork along with like some other videos that I spoke about at the beginning just sort of trying to document my process a bit more and come up with an original idea that allows me to do that but yeah that's pretty much everything for this one so I hope you enjoyed this if you did then please leave a like and I will see you in the next one
