Top Comments of this video!! :3
this makes me think about how a lot of artists today are "self taught" because of how easy its is to get into things like drawing,
and how many of those who are self taught develops distinct styles because there is no one that teaches them how to best capture something in an image and they all find their own special ways of drawing things

A lot of japanese manga and (if I’m not mistaken) anime productions use a similar model. Artists start by doing less important work like backgrounds and rendering and take on increasingly important tasks as their experience grows, the whole time learning from their superiors and guiding their juniors. Many assistants in manga projects eventually start their own manga projects with their own assistants, and the cycle continues. It’s a great way to keep a craft alive.

I think it's also important to remember that time is a quality filter. there have been artists of every level from the beginning of humanity to the modern day. we preserve and cherish the pieces we find worth keeping, and the rest fade into obscurity. (this is why people think older tv shows and were better than modern media)

As a professional artist working on the film industry, I can asure you that the renaissance artists were beasts, legit disciplined people at its finnest (don't take away their effort by calling them "talented"). Art disciplines like Drawing, Painting or Sculpting are NOT innate talents, do not get fed with that misleading believe. Art disciplines have a lot of science behind them, and anyone who wants to become an artist, has to learn them. The problem is, the science behind art disciplines is so complex that most people give up and then say that "they didnt have the talent" as an excuse. I couldn't draw even a simple cube nor any straight line or circle about 3 years ago, but I learned from my mentors that with discipline, analitical thinking and hard work, I could become an artist without a big art school, and thats exactly what happened.
You dont need an art school to become an artist or to copy what is in front of you (thats the old way of learning, which is very unefficient today) but you need to learn the "fundamentals" and control them well, and there are books and some pretty cheap short courses for that, so there is no excuse for not making your dreams come true. If you really want to learn how to draw and paint, you need to learn Perspective, no matter what. And I am talking about the science of Perspective, im not talking about "they way you see things". Perspective is the most important fundamental of any visual artist, it gives you the knoledge and tools to calculate a 3D drawing inside a 2D space (aka, a flat paper/PC Screen if you draw digitally, which is the same as drawing on paper btw, sometimes it is more difficult to draw digitally, dont listen to people who say digital art is easy, it is not).
I dropped out of college to become an artist and now I earn more than most my friends who did finish college, so art is a good career path, but again, it is a hard one and if you dont have the discipline, then it will be a very ugly path to follow, since Art does not forgive laziness and companies only hire artists that have a proper Portfolio (art pieces online that show that you can design/create and manipulate 3D forms with consistency); and to achive that, you need to study and practice like crazy, at least 5 hourse a day if you want to make it really fast, and 7 days a week (with 3 hours you can do it in 2 years, which is also very fast for this carreer).
Follow the steps from Leonardo and Michael Angelo, they were not geniuses, they were clearly some of the most disciplined human beens ever, thats why they became 2 of the most amazing masters of all time. If you like art, try it, give it your best, do not give up, remember that it takes time and art feels like magic at first, but it is only because to learn it, you need to study, draw and then when you sleep its when your brain truly starts to process the information to learn it well, thats why in 1 day you can not learn nor feel like you have learned how to draw 1 subject; you need to wait until next day to feel that new information and skill, and at least 2 weeks to see a big improvement. do not give up, its just like going to the gym, you will not see a big change in 1 week, you will see it in 1 month of study and practice <3

There's also another reason that people tend to overlook which is that unlike today people back then didn't have distractions such as smartphones, social media, television, video games etc so they had more time to focus on their craft without getting distracted so that is another reason why they were so good and why it would be harder for people today to replicate that level of skill that people back then had.

We think there are lots of amazing artists working today, including many who are faithfully training in traditional methods. Works of the past that have been deemed worthy of conservation and preservation tend to be stunning examples of the very best. This video shows paintings and drawings spanning centuries, from across Europe, and that's what we see in museums and books, and not the many works that haven't survived due to poor quality, bad luck, or the whims of fickle taste. Another thing is that Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces were often team projects, rather than a single artist's expression, and often an apprentice would contribute special, signature touches and fail to be credited at all.
Also, while traditional workshops did prepare their own colors in-house, often the supports- the primed panels- were prepared by specialist panel makers/cabinet makers; artists today often proudly make their own supports in-house, so we don't think there's any reason to feel inferior just because you buy colors in a tube! Art materials are higher quality, more permanent, and more widely accessible today than at any time in history, and art comes from real people, real voices, with a diversity of experience that has never before been seen.

I wish that happened in this era. Art needs to be mastered and valued.
