Becoming a self-taught artist – It doesn’t matter where you start

Some motivation and encouragement for those wondering if it’s possible for them to learn to paint and draw. Forget about your fear and your doubts and just get to work. My first experience with drawing was at an age when most people are already professional and my results were those of a child that you’d advise to maybe try a career in sewage design instead. I hope this sketchbook full of failure now serves to inspire you, in which case it is art 🙂

A lot of people are no longer considering traditional art schools as viable options for training, for others , like myself, it’s not even an option because of financial circumstances, logistics or for whatever other reason. Becoming a self-taught artist is becoming a more and more popular choice, the obvious drawbacks of course is that you’re taking a leap of faith and you’re starting without the benefit of a seasoned mentor to guide you through the process… That’s not all bad though, for me that has become a great self-development tool, but I do think that everyone needs to see that something is possible before they fully commit. I’ve spent loads of time seeking out other people who have taught themselves and have also tracked the progress of many professionals over the years and have found patterns of improvement that are universal. I hope this video helps to motivate you to make that leap of faith easier and to make you pursue your calling with less fears and doubts.
