Too many rules and particulars. Art is about feeling. If it feels right, do it. Stop asking yourself questions.

During the pandemic, id often crack a beer open, look out my window and listen to eckhart tolle. I had just started having experiences of mild … ‘transcendence (?)’ around that time. Once time though, I had an extremely power feeling that I was emitting a magnetic field of sorta and it rippled through the space around me. It felt like the space and air around me was almost tangible and viscous. It was really remarkable but these experiences would sometimes end badly because my coping mechanisms for life would were not advanced enough to deal with views or experiences from that higher point of view coming back down to dysfunction. Really appreciate your video and you discussing these things, love your drawing meditations too! It’s so fascinating 😭😭😭😭😭 As the Buddha said, ‘the mind precedes all knowables’

big You....🤣😂🤣😂 lol.... 🤣😂 EVERYTHING IS EMPPTY , teaching finished...😉😁

That dog has major wisdom to share.

Thank you for making this video !!!

Awesome video ❤

56:31 *20 missed calls from the total drama island artists* 😂

The Steven is amazing artist, my only problem with his tutorials is that he talks too much and too deep about other things than things he should teach if you buy it, it gets you out of the learning.

So, basically we are living in a simulation... created by our mind and how we perceive what is around us.

I like this drawing ! :)

Man I can't tell if I've had enough personal experiences with this such to be open with it or if I'm just stupid :D lmao

This is definitely a video I’ll need to watch a few times to understand, love it

I might have been listening to this video for more times in a row than I can remember. It keeps reminding me why it is just so amazing to draw!! Thank you!!!

Eastside sofa from rooms to go, well done sir

I started experiencing something with my drawing practice. I did a study of a sphynx statue from a photo, and also a master study of a Claire Wendling drawing of a sphynx. I try to use brush pen and start making rhythmic lines while still feeling anxious about drawing from imagination, the nervous energy starts to coalesce into something. This one became a sphynx with a mane where the human and feline bodies conjoin. I would describe the sensation of drawing in this state and the drawing itself to be effervescent, the drawing looks like it's fizzing on the page, vibrating. This feeling is still different and distinct from the flow state. I would say music sometimes can trigger that flow state but it is charactized by a sensation of being in the moment or time slows down, a fluid enjoyment of the drawing. I can see the mistakes afterwards in the drawing and can see what I actually need to work on in terms of technique or anatomy.

Awesome conversation Steven. I hope to leave more detailed comments later but i definitely relate to all of this.

I admire your courage.

Steven Great lecture, and I really love your adorable dog!! What kind of dog is that?

It is quite the thing , as an artist, to realize space is an illusion mainly for the subtlety of the whole phenomenon in our perception of second to second daily experience. I'd love to see a conversation around this subject between you and Prokopenko, that'd be gold content. Thanks for the video.

wait- this isn't Elden Ring. What are you doing Steven??

Zapata droppin' another treatise on the phenomenology of individual visual observation <3

super cool chat, makes me want more art friends. thanks yall for posting this very interesting topics

Today I went to a card shop to get a card for my Dad’s birthday? You know what I found? I think you do. A freaking AI generated card picturing -unsurprisingly- a kitten.

gracias Zapata!

thank you so much for these

Hoш did чаLГ gзт неге sо fаsт?😮

FANNYYY

Steven I can’t tell you how much these videos have helped me, every one of them is like a shower for my creative soul. I’ve been on this path for a while now and your work is like taking the layers of ego mud that have built up on my skin off in one big chunk. I can’t wait for the next one.

Perspective, perception are hackable :)

But who’s the thought then? I mean the person realising that sight just is I guess

love these kind of videos, i feel like anyone who's good at anything has a note of philosophy in their lives

on thumbnail it looked like you lighten up bong. And i like - man he really goes deep into the topic

😊

Those shorts.

Is it possible for you to have a conversation with Jim Newman, that would be so cool to watch

Good morning Steven.

yay another video! :D hope everyones having a great day today

Amazing videos, I've been watching them a lot lately but I go to your twt and everything there is you constantly crying about AI taking away your job. Pretty sad to know you're that close minded while fancying yourself as an art guru, is just another medium kid, times change, people felt the same way you do about AI rn when photography started to be a thing, think about it a little bit, maybe it will help to grow your social, its pretty off putting when such an eloquent person is a trainwreck on twt

I'm still mad at the guy who won first place in a art contest with "his" AI art, somehow beating everyone else who've spent hours or days to get their piece finish, just to later lose to a man who types a few words and gets his relusts in seconds. The judges were even worse, they've found nothing wrong with the work he submitted and loved what his "art". Pathetic

Nobody wants to deal with Artists. They are weird, grumpy, and generally think they are better than the rest of humanity because they can create beautiful images. Well, now, AI is taking over. It's taking over and it's gonna eat everybody alive!!!! Bwahahahahaha

The people who have drawn themselves into a corner in life and have no other talents are the best at it. When you're stuck, just keep drawing and learning new things.

those poor kids/ abs

43:50 lol

Okay, this is straight up strawmanning. Talking about training novels, the question goes about difference between AI and artists using publicly available images for training. You start going about how it's using copyrighted works and that "your data is in there". This is straight up nonsense, first of all. There is nothing illegal or immoral about "learning" from something, and nothing actually gets memorized like you imply. AI models do not remember anything about the data. They build statistical models of the world through examples and descriptions. The only cases where it may "remember" something specific is when it's had numerous copies, in which case anyone would involuntarily remember it. In fact, AI models DO NOT EVEN TAKE IN YOUR DATA. That's true. They never get access to the picture itself, only the single number representative of how wrong they are in their guess. They are trained to guess! That's how it works. The only model that can actually "remember" things are autoencoders, and only in generalized way. Not to mention that image generators by design randomly sample latent space, so all images with unique seed are unique, no matter how closely you describe them to original training data. Anyway, you went off from the wrong statement, and the rest of the argument is wasted on completely unrelated things. What does people who collect data have to do with technology in question? Because that's not an excuse to bash cook for bad farmer. Seriously, can't trust and artist to honestly talk about things like AI. It's never objective.

I don't even know what to say right now except thank you, and that it is infinitely fascinating to be us. The more I can integrate this knowing with the energy of creation within me, the more I think energy for creating will re-saturate my experience. I wish we could have a round-table with artists who are trying to know more about what art is and what it's purpose is for us, especially as creation's fundamental role in our lives is being hijacked.

those are some handsome NPCs in the thumbnail :0 jokes aside i didn't get a notification for this one 😭

the art in the new dlc goes so hard lol

This man is... Jesus

ART IS NOT SUBJECTIVE. THERE ARE OBJECTIVE CRITERIA GOOD ART FOLLOWS. THIS IS A FACT.
