Earlier this week I dipped into a video of someone claiming that being an artist is not an identity but just a profession.
To that I say BAH HUMBUG! Being an artist is the most solid thing about my identity. I feel miserable if I can't paint. I draw because my soul craves it. I'm creative because my brain strikes if I'm not allowed to. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP BEING AN ARTIST.

"You're in pain because you're fearless." I nearly cried after hearing those words. The past year has been so full of uncertainity not only when it came to my career, but also as an individual. To deal with responsibilities, unforeseen events & cry over the frustrations of everyday life, that was my entire year. To hear you validate those struggles & say that I'm strong really lit a spark in my soul. I really needed to hear that. Adam, thank you for your words & your encouragement. It means the world to me ❤

And you are our hero too, Adam. Your voice has guided me in the darkness many times. You are a true hero. You are a beautiful person. Thank you for being there when no one, even our families, won't take us seriously and only look at us as failures!

man this channel is like an oasis in the middle of the desert

I have those quiet moments at home in the morning on occasion; sadly my rabbit doesn’t yell at me, but she does dash around the house looking for wires to chew in half 🐇

I've been watching your videos for a while now, but I wanted to let you know that even though I am not perusing any careers (I am disabled & I create art for myself) the advice you give can often help me regardless. I wish there was a way to motivate myself without deadlines, but either way, the advice has stuck with me, even if I don't often get to use it.

Wow... well spoken, Adam.
I would like to add a quote that I recently stumbled upon while playing a game (Elder Scrolls Online); while it was about to face a dragon a character said:
"As long as we can fight there is a chance that we can win."

Imo this fits very well to our every day artist's struggles as well.
Thank you for your great videos.
🤘🤘🤘

For me AI was never truly a threat to be honest, yeah, I had my worries, I still have my worries, but at the end what truly matters to me is my self improvement as an artist, if I will be jobless, so be it, I will still love art and nothing will take it away from me.

Man, that hit hard.
Thank you for what you're doing. Recently, after 7 years of tattooing, I gave it up because of burnout and because of how difficult the market is right now. I did a quite expensive concept art course but this market is not easy neither, not right now, in the middle of economic crisis. I felt that I needed a break. A complete break from creating art on demand, I discovered I couldn't create anymore just for me. I got bunrt out badly.
Now I will be starting a normal, stable corporate job. I need some financial stability and to rediscover the joy of creating art that I lost. I don't want to think anymore about social media algorythms and what should I create to appease them.
I have a goal to save up for some mentorships (yes, yours is one of them), now it will be possible thanks to stable job.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air in art community. All I ever hear (also during concept art course I did) that you need to grind or you're a nobody. It becomes a vicious circle where I grind, then I get burnt out and I think that I'm a worthless piece of garbage because I can't grind enough.
Also hearing all the time, in regards to AI, that you as an artist have to adapt or die.
I'm just so tired.

And there we have it. Another beautiful and warm art hug.

Goddammit Adam, you made my eyes wet at the end of the video talking about sucking at drawing, looking at other art and thinking this is what I will never be. Since early childhood i wanted to draw but had a strong belief that i can't and never will be able to, so i gave up from the beginning. 9 years ago i did understand that i want to do art and had a ton of struggles as soon as i started. Still not there, so many times i gave up and yet i keep coming back again, again and again. Maybe one day i will make it, but i'm certain in one thing - i don't want to give up on my dreams. Thank you Adam, thank you for creating a home for souls.

thx man , needed this from somebody , wish i could meet someone like you but that just seems damn near impossible , so i thought atleast i hope i can become that person myself but goddamnit is it hard when you feel like your the only one like this , having to step up to become the figure in your life that you desperately needed and wanted all this time . its just that at times it feels like my sense of self and my values/ideals that i hold dearly are slowly but surely shedding away and sometimes i just hope that i dont lose too much of myself going through this storm that i lose who i even am or who i want to be , because at the end of the day im not that strong yet , it feels like you're going down a dark and uncharted path where there's little to no help in navigation and you just hope that you make it out the same , it feels lonely and scary and makes you feel vulnerable man. and i just want you to know you are one of the few things in my 19 years of living that has made me want to pursue becoming more kind , understanding , human and truly embrace humanity and all that it has to offer ( the other being an anime called welcome to the nhk , and some other youtubers ) , thank you man for existing and sharing your presence online since atleast i hopefully can pick up the things that i had lost and forgotten through this road , and again thx so much .

I should know by now, that I am almost 80% incapable in not walking away from one of these videos without crying. I was doing so well until the end, I never realized my soul, my artist soul, needed someone to say I was a hero for continuing to draw, even though I abandoned the dream of living from my art, and even now, as I'm struggling to find work for the last 10 months, art has been the only thing keeping me afloat, the kindness and generosity of people to pay monthly just $5, to see my art, is what's helping to get me over the line right now as I struggle endlessly to find work either in my field (Graphic Design) or retail, but even then, the voice, the little voice, she still wants to try and live off art, to follow that dream fully and completely whenever the real opportunity arises.
Thank you for another great video Adam. I really needed it.

Speaking as someone who hasn't enjoyed drawing and basically gave it up since 2022, I want to thank you Adam for putting your talent with words into these videos. And as someone who has also suffered both physically and mentally recently, I also want to thank you for giving me a new perspective about hardships and suffering in life. Your channel has been a great help for my artistic mind for years and I'm sure it also has been for a lot of other artists!

I have been watching your videos since 2018. Often I thought about commenting on them, but never quite got the courage to do so. But today I couldn't pass without commenting. I just wanted to say thank you, and I don't know another way of doing it.
I was not expecting this video, and I didn't realize how much I needed this. 2023 was one of the worst years of my life. There was too much going on, and I had to stop doing art entirely. Only recently, I have picked up the pen again. I don't know where the future is going and if I will ever become a professional artist, but I missed it so much, I had to.
I survived 2023 but until now, I never stopped to think how heavy it was. I was not expecting that you were going to mention such a thing in this video. And it completely broke me. Everything that happened, all the goodbyes I had to say, suddenly crushed like a storm that I was not aware of being forming so brutally inside of me.
I know these might sound like "just words", but I needed this. Like all the other videos I've watched from you since 2018, it was a balm to the soul. But this one was special. It broke me. It was the first time since last year that I truly stopped to look at myself. It feels like a small step towards healing. Towards a brighter tomorrow.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you, Adam.
Happy paintings to us all.

All of your videos help me so much, not with my art, but coming to terms with my life. Going through a lot of death and uncertainty and reminders of my mortality makes me ask why I like art to begin with (in a retrospective way). I see myself unlearning and adapting because of this.Thank you for reassuring me that this is natural. Thank you for reminding me that is ok for my art to become different and worse.

Dear Adam.
I have been a huge follower of your videos and been following to refuel my artistic journey with great artistic advices that helped me through years of personal and artistic struggles.
You’re the mentor that I never had. And if I could shake your hand I would. Thank you for being a beacon of light in such a gloomy time.

10:30 i mean when the alternative is falling into depression and dark thoughts, you don't really have the luxury of losing that fight. i remember what not drawing did to me, i'm not going back there.
