Thanks for sharing this Sam, I definitely need to start adopting this way of thinking. <3

You're awesome Sam, thank you!

you're my favorite artist .thank you for your information 🤠

So… performance anxiety?

You DON'T KNOW how much I never thought about this, you just got rid of my perfectionism 😭

I just realised its a mirror on the right side haha, thought you have a villa by the sea or something Sam haha

I am struggling so bad. I make a drawing, I had fun making it, leave for lunch and coming back to see a bad drawing... My eyes telling my brain something is wrong but I can't come up with a solution... then when I am really proud of one of my art I upload them and get 0 likes :=( I spent hours doing them now I am really disappointed in my art and myself I am even considering quitting art. I want to draw in many art styles but I have no fun drawing in other styles. I mean I can draw anime, semi realistic but then I get stressed: People won't like that I draw in many styles and I am right,...0 likes :( My art insta is 2 years old with 25 followers :( It is really demotivating

lol

I really needed to hear this, I've been so caught up with trying to make my drawings look good over... nearly all my life, and I'm just starting to realize that no matter how many likes or people liking what I make is going to make me keep going. Conversely, people being negative shouldn't detract from doing what I love.

When I just let go of expectations and draw, those turn out to be the coolest drawings I do. So, thanks for this!

For any authors out there: this advice also works for writing! Just get out there and be creative!

This is true. The artwork that I’ve done where I didn’t expect anything from it became the best pieces I’ve done at that period of time.

the fact I came here for therapy 💀, pleaseee I love his yap sections 😭

yh I found this when learning to develop games that I never got to the master point and when I just started learning more for fun and stuff like that while still keeping my goals in the back of my mind I enjoyed game development and the process of learning all of the things so much more fun and it also wasn't as daunting anymore

That first part was to damn relatable

i guess im clinically insane (positive)

It helps a lot thnks, art is a way of life ✨

thanks, needed to hear this pretty damn much

I truly needed to hear this. thank you.

This video meant a lot to me. I want to be more consistent with my art. I want to get better but it can be so challenging when everything is not clicking. Thank you for making this video, it is helping me reset

I really appreciate how Sam cares about his 'Art Babies' so much that he even keeps his voice quiet, and not too obnoxious.

Yeah, that's why I don't have a sketchbook. I need cheap paper with this ring binding thingy, whatever it's called in english. It has to look like crap. I need to hate it😂so I don't care and just fill pages. And always the cheapest pencil. Ikea pencil style. It's gone anyway so fast.

I LOVE YOU SAM!!!

My lecturer used to walk around during a drawing session and say “Ooouuu…” occasionally laughing walk away then come back and help you out.

I LOVE YOU SAM!!!

That's why i stopped posting my paints on instagram, i just can't do it without expetaction and pressure

Thank you so much for this video. I'm 31 years old and both social media and mental health struggles have taken their toll on my creativity. As a teen I'd still be willing to give my drawings a go but at some point I stopped creating art completely for years. Not because I stopped wanting to create but because I was too scared and overwhelmed to do it. Then I started photography and it was going well cause it's more forgiving. But once I started uploading to IG and hoping ppl would like it, it became less and less fun and I started realizing I was making photos JUST for IG. I'm trying to change that mentality and I've also slowly begun picking up art again. This video helped me see it's not a unique struggle but it feels good to see someone put it into words. I will definitely try to create just for fun, rather than expectations of what others may like or what will give me more likes online. And embrace imperfections a bit more too. x Nina

OH MY GOD you're so right (yeah that's it). No really, thank you for your videos they are helping a lot <3

thanks

Thank you, for curing me of my month lasting art block.

[insert hateful and mean comment here/j]

I feel this so much, whenever I just let go and not give a f my art is so good

Best Sam video ever

This makes me want to have my own personal art glow up and revive it again so I don’t be awful again

I had that problem until I left Instagram :3

SamDoesRun content coming soon

Thank you, your lesson helps me trying again

guess I'm clinically insane😩

🙋‍♂️I have a question! I want to start an business where I pay people to make art, how should I approach this artists? How would approach you if I paid you to make art for a story? 🤔

This actually helped so much. Thanks sam! ❤

I actually have a really hard time with confidence in making art because i worry it will go wrong and when it does go wrong i feel bad. I just wish i knew how to turn off that voice and stop having those expectations, because even though i do it at first it comes creeping back to me. Either way as an “art baby” myself this was very helpful to hear so thanks Sam :)

It's always on the regular lined notebook paper

I do NOT have enough skill to like any of my drawings

for some time I had been playing with AI art generators

the anime art have a thing in common

why do they look like your art

i just found out abt sam and not gonna lie i needed ALOT of help but now IVE ACTUALLY GOTTEN BETTER!!! p.s. thanks sam
