Hi guys and welcome to everydayidraw!
Today I'm filming at sketchbook tour,
this would be different from what I
did before. It's going to be more of a
private talk, I guess, something like that…
If you watch me long enough, you know
that I do sketchbook tours for four and
a half years already. And I've been doing
them every single month. But the end
of 2016 was different, because it was the
first time I did not film a sketchbook
tour for five months straight! This
happened because at the end of 2016
I was getting ready for Christmas and
I was writing my new year resolution and
plans for next year… And I've suddenly
figured out, that I am in this kind of
situation, when I don't really know, what
I'm going to do with my drawing. Because
I started to draw when I was 24 and at
first I did not really have a clear goal
of what am I going to do with my drawing,
where am I actually heading with it. In
the beginning it was fine, because I
really needed to get the skills and I was
more focused on creating a habit of
drawing every day. More than any other
actual goal. And this was fine, because
you should focus on creating and a habit
for some time. But now at the end of 2016
I realised, that everything that I had done
before is actually not what I wanted to
do next. And I didn't really have a clear
idea of what is it, that I desire to draw.
And what is my perfect job, that I wanted
to do. And it was kind of frustrating… So,
it all started with me making this new
year plan of being honest with myself, I
guess. And I remember clearly that when I
decided to be honest with myself, at
first I was absolutely clueless,
I knew I was honest with myself so I
knew that what I was doing before was
not good. But what it is that I wanted to
do now was absolutely not an easy
decision, that I could make just like that.
So I decided to try more of the things,
that I didn't do before. And soon I
realised, that old methods did not work
for me. Of course I continued to draw my
metro sketches and stuff like that, but I
just felt that they were not working for
me anymore. And that's why there were no
more ordinary sketchbook tours, because
I've changed and my project everydayidraw
changed as well. And I wasn't
actually using my sketchbook so much.
Because I realised that I kind of have
this feeling that I want to switch more
to digital art, you know. In my creative
life, I guess, I'm surrounded by
people who already know what they're
doing. If you are familiar with our
podcast that we do in Russian, you know that
other girls that I have there, they know
pretty well what they're going to do.
One of them is dedicated to animation
and the other one is doing comics and
third one is more into magazine and this
kind of book illustration. And so I was
inspired by girls and I've tried to do
these things as well. But they just
didn't do this for me! So I realised that
at that point hardcore work did not mean
that it's leading me to success. And I
realised that everything is now more
focused on goals. I'm going to leave a
really cool reading in
the description down below. I really do
recommend you to take a look at this
blog post, it's about why hardcore work
does not lead you to success. But for me
it meant that I really needed to sit
down and think about my future goal. And
I've tried to do a lot of things
during this five months: I've tried to
mate gifs, I always wanted to make
moving pictures, so if you follow me on
instagram or any other social media
you've probably seen these things.
I thought that maybe I want to do pop-up
books, you know, the ones that you open
and you know the illustration pops up like
a three-dimensional thing. I've tried to
do work for brands and companies, like
draw branding design and stuff. I even
try to draw things for magazines, but it
just was not it! And then I realised
that I've always really kind of despised
CG and stuff like that. And I felt like
"oh really, you don't need that much of a
skill to draw an elf girl, nice looking,
with big boobs!", but now all of a
sudden when I've decided to be true to
myself, I figured out that I kind of
actually float towards this direction.
Towards the direction of pretty looking
elf girls with big boobs. And I really
enjoyed it! So I was absolutely surprised
by this fact, I was amazed, I mean like
this whole period of me drawing for four
and a half years and thinking like "Oh,
I'm totally into graphics and into
simple stuff!" was actually me neglecting
anatomy and light and shadow and
rendering because I was actually scared,
I was petrified by the fact that I
cannot really do it! So my brain, I guess,
went into this mode like "If I can do it,
let's just pretend that is this branch
of drawing is not good!". And after that I
realised that I really want to go into
promotional art, not even character
design I thought at the beginning.
Because it was… Character design, and
again I will leave a link down below, so
you can read another great blog post,
it's more of a technical thing, I think,
that you use in the process of creation.
And not much people are going to see it.
And I was much more interested in promo art,
I mean, this beautiful shiny posters with girls
and boys and weapons and stuff that you
used to promote your game or movie or
whatever. And I was really mesmerised by
that promo art and I started to watch
more of Ross Draws and this kind of,
you know, guys and it was cool! I actually,
I was really anxious for this past five
months, because I had no direction, no
goal and no idea what I was going to do.
But after this anxious period I felt
like I finally came to peace with myself.
Because now I look at my plan, my goal
that I had in the beginning of the year…
And I actually plan five years ahead
and then I plan every year, and then out
of this particular year I start to plan
for free month, every three months, like a
quarter of the year. And then I plan
by months, and then by weeks and days and
stuff like that… So now, at the end of
March I took a look at my three-months
plans and I realised, that they actually…
They've changed a lot, compared to what I
was thinking in the beginning of the
year. But plans always change and I think
the most important thing is to have this
huge shiny goal that feels too much for
you, because if you cannot really achieve
it in one month, it means that you set
the right goal. And you have to work hard
for it. But now even though I know
there is a lot of work ahead of me and
right now I am in the middle of learning
digital art and it's hard, and I have no
idea about rendering
and values and all that jazz, I'm
actually really-really happy, that it
happened! And I hope that those blog
posts that I'm linking in the
description box and my story will
actually help you to stop for a moment
and think a little bit about where are
you heading, do you even know where you
are heading? So I guess this is the most
important thing that you can do after
several years of hard work and drawing
every day. Because let's face it, drawing
every day will not take you where you
want to go, it will only happen if you
are drawing every day _that thing_ that
you really want to draw in the end. And
for that you have to know, _what you want_
to draw the end. So yeah, please let me
know in the comments below, if you have
this clear vision of where you are going
with your drawing, what are you going to
do, what is your ideal client work, what
is your ideal project, that you really
really want to do? Or if you are maybe
still in the shadows and you have no
idea? So then I hope this video will help
you, because you just really need to stay
calm for a second and just think a
little bit about like not what others
expect you to do and expect you to like,
but what is it that _you_ really like. And
don't be ashamed of it, because there are
a lot of people who for example draw
hentai or something like that. And I'm
really admiring all of those people,
because they just do what they like and
that's just the most amazing thing,
I think! So yeah, thanks for watching, this
is it for today, guys! I'll see you in the
next video, like me on social media,
links will be listed down below. And if
you like my projects, please support me

love for my patrons! And I'll see you
next time, bye!
