I am really enjoying these lessons! I'm not to bright and low income. You are great at breaking it down, this is like art for dummies. Even though my contours aren't great, you are very encouraging and I can't wait to try the next lesson. Thank you so much!!

As the saying goes,, you are speaking my language. We covered this in hypnotherapy school, yet when I'm busy or depressed I forget it is a thing. I do try it with Wordle, when I'm not trying to do Wordle at 3 AM. I've only gotten one word on the first try so far. It also means I can stop beating myself up for being a human Johnny 5 trying to soak up all the input until my brain feels like it's going to explode. I need to remind myself to do physical things or I'm all brains all the time. I'm going to share this with my closest friends. Thank you for the refresher course.

Most creative people have adhd . 😁

Beautiful video 🤘🏻

There’s something else going onI’m not a Psychiatrist, I’m an ordinary Bloke who works in Industry. A few Years ago, Much to my disgust, My spelling became really bad. I had got used to the red wriggly line correcting it. Even worse is I realised that My emails were written as if I was speaking to the recipient. Here’s the remedy. If I’m writing to someone who appreciates I’m educated and civilised, I type my email. Walk away for 20 minutes and read it a second time. Any misspellings I look up in a book called a Dictionary. I often rewrite half of what I threw down on the screen. I then ignore it for another half hour. Now here’s the Magic part. I print it off and read it ink on paper. I’m amazed at how crude my tappings (Dear Reader I’m old enough to precede computers and everything was hand written or typed on a Mechanical device. Corrections were most time consuming). It takes all Day but the re-education is worth it. I very strongly suspect reading a book on a screen will have the same negative effect.

You're a cool dude. Thank you for sharing this :)

god bless you sir.

The blessings of having been around the block a few times, and having a remembrance of what could be. This is why old people are necessary to our culture and our survival. Danny, you are an extraordinary human being! The things that you share often parallel my own thoughts as an older person who knows life before technology hijacked our brains, our lives, our relationships, our creativity, our health and are even convincing all of us that we are "damaged" and need the latest and the greatest to "fix" us when all we really need to do is unplug and allow ourselves to be what we were created to be and do. Thank you for another dose of sanity!!!❤

I also came across drawing early in life when just a child.

It isn't so much the result, but the hand/eye connection to activate the neuron pathways to various parts of the brain. Oh dear, that might be a problem for me. I'll get back to you on that one! But yes, those simple things can yield excellent results. Thanks for the reminder.

This is so fun!! Thank you Danny!!

i think i am kinda the same. I always try new hobbys. i really wanted to stick with one because its less expensive ^^' but if you combine the things, you can use everything you learned before and make something great! For me it was Junk Journaling that combined different aspects of crafting and art. If i had to describe myself i would always say: jack of all trades, master of none. Thats also true because i lack the energy to really learn about one specific medium.

This was VERY helpful, like so many of his videos, the older I get, the more perfectionist I have gotten, but with my art, it can make me strop by telling myself it wont be good enough. Growing up, I just did art and didn't think about how good it has to be and I have been working with myself on how to embrace imperfections. the first step I took in that was to use pen instead of pencil because after i put down the line, I had to live and work with it.

Excellent and very motivational! Thank you for the great tips, Danny!

The internet killed music. I can see where it hurts other artists too. It seems you get cookie cutter results. Do you. Don't worry what everyone else is doing.

danny seemed a bit grumpy xD did the monkey take ahold over you?

Amazing video!!!

That was a lot of fun, thank you. I really enjoy playing with pencils.

Hello, I'm new to your channel, your video about procrastination got me to finally work on my Father's day gift for my dad 😂 I've got a question, but i feel like i gotta give some context(or lore i guess) first. Ok so, as far as i remember, I would draw and write so easily in my middle school to high school years. I had developed this universe with its own many ecosystems, characters, kingdoms, cities. I had created this fictional planet and it's moons, where all of my OCs (original characters) live and their lives all interconnect one way or another and create a bigger story that involves all somehow. And my art and writing were the pillars, the backbones of this world I call my own. It was beautiful, so beautiful. However, things have gotten difficult, I now deal with anxiety and the many ways it manifests as physically symptoms, as well as stress and depression. There's so many things going on. I tried going back to my universe, to rework on my writing, improve it, change things here and there. But when I got to it... I couldn't, I couldn't write as good as I used to, the last page I wrote was when I was 17 (I'm 24 now... notion of time is non-existent with all these issues), and I can see I had a good sense of how to express and describe back then. But I try now, and it feels... like a bootleg copy. It gave me a sense of dread, numbness, frustration, makes me feel I've lost that potential because life decided it was my turn to be the punching bag... I've been watching shows, and there's this thing I do, to somewhat help myself, create AUs (alternate universes) of these shows and insert a character or characters of my own, inspiredto fit in these shows, to try revive that spark that would have me write piles upon piles of pages back when I was in high school... But even that is not helping, I find myself stuck after writing the first 2 pages of an AU, and everywhere I look for advice or examples of writing, it's just full of AI stuff that just misleads and misinforms me. So, my question is... How can I get that spark back? I want to be able to continue the lives of my characters in MY universe, just like I used to.

I completely loved this video, thank you so much. New subscriber, i just picked one of my sketch books out, wish i knew what ink pen you sketch with, is it waterproof so you can watercolor on it? Thank you 💕

Beautiful pages

So cool! Well done everyone!

If you have no talent you have nothing to lose by trying. I thought that meeting "notes" that I took were just weird until I saw Dannys'. Birdy

Perhaps enjoying being silly at 69 years old isn't so bad? Birdy

Lol😂😂😂 Yep. Mine is across the room somewhere on the charger. 😊 With all the texting & faces buried in phones, I often wonder if my friend’s phones have the green slider.

I think it's called digital dementia.

Just picked up a project I started and did some whilst listening to you. Thank you

Thank You❤❤❤❤❤

I procrastinated watching this. And Now that I have, I am glad i finally did it. Thank you for this motivational vlog. You are so correct that the planning often keeps me from doing what the plan calls for. Its as if the brain spen the time with the plan of action, the ideas, etc so what's the point of actually do it? Its done already. Plus its 'perfect' in my mind how could I possibly make it happen. So, your words in this vlog points that out that what proactive choices I can cultivate instead of letting the Monkey manage my creativity. Thank you.

J.J. you look fabulous.!

Rejection doesn't faze me any more...I have enough rejection letters to fill a scrapbook. i know not everyone is going to " get " me and that's cool with me...I will continue to write poems and make good art...

This… my a-ha moment. Thank you. That monkey has been pestering me for decades and I didn’t even know what it was.

You’re so right. I felt that too

Thank you for your words. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of this ! <3

I appreciate that crop part and extra lighting! Thanks for sharing!!📱🖼

Spot on my thoughts have been exactly the same…. Maybe time to unplug and just be

That is fantastic! I am definitely inspired!!Thanks for sharing!!!🤗🎨🖌🖋📓

Thank you so much for this great reminder! 💕Have piles of all sizes of sketchbooks, pads and asstd blank paper which I intend to use for sketching whatever artworks……but they have remained blank all these years, except for a few pages. Listening to you has motivated me to move and finally fill up those pages . “ God bless you”! 🌸🌿🔥

Excellent advice. Thank you for your help

I only have on important notifications, do little on social media (except go on UA-cam to learn things), never watch short form videos, and do everything to avoid unnecessary distractions (I have ADHD so I don’t need to be distracted anymore than I already am) yet I find I can’t concentrate long enough to read through an entire book anymore like I could in my youth. Even videos; I find myself constantly skipping the boring bits to get to the meat of the video. I have never been so distracted in my entire life. I think one needs to commit to not having a mobile device or computer (and tv for those who still watch it) to really feel present and alive. Unfortunately society makes it very difficult not to have these things.

ironic how watching this video is in fact.... procrastinating
