the scene where it showed how he tried to copy someone's art style to improve/get better is so relatable
I KNOW RIGHT
That's how generally learning to draw goes.
@@a.k8185 that's not all he specifically copied the same thing in his style meaning he didn't have anything of himself in that art to begin with.
@@user-jc9tv9xp1r That's a bit different...
The better kid became a judge which the main character couldn’t
I like how the white haired characters always supported the protagonist with their art They are not a villain, they was just doing what they liked to do and in a way they help the protagonist realize that that is what matters, do what you enjoy no matter if others don't like it
*Griffith agrees*
Imo, I believe this plays on one of human's most disgusting but natural emotions, Jealousy. Mostly due to his interests being overshadowed by the talent of his peers (the white haired kid). From his POV when the white haired kid passed him the star I can feel the pain and insult felt because it just felt like a handout given to you out of pity. Of course more optimistic people may say that the white haired kid was trying to encourage the MC but I'm talking about what the MC's feeling at that point in time, he probably felt that his efforts was curb stomped by someone better and when that someone shares that star with him it felt like a "no worries bro I'm just better, here's a star from my many stars" aka insult to his efforts. This of course motivates the MC to pursue drawing, albeit in a dark way, and you can see all that accumulated stress explode at 2:12 where he did the same thing to the white haired person (not kid as they've grown up at that point) as when they were younger. A normal response would be to take the trophy and leave but as you can see the explosion of dark emotions when he walked up to the guy and pass the trophy back to him snatching the mic away etc. We all feel this way at one point and if anyone hasn't, you are so god damn lucky and I wish for you to never feel this way because it is one hell of a dark rabbit hole to climb out of. (I know I definitely had a hard time with it, still am sometimes)
@@reivaxerubiza2204 and who knows! Maybe you can improve as well
@@herticate8579OH SHIT
I can relate to jealousy so much. It feels so painful to try your absolute damndest and get nothing while other people rise with seemingly no effort. I've studied plenty for things and fail over and over and when I ask the smart people how they atidy many say they don't study at all. Really makes you wonder about the effort of hard work. @reivaxerubiza2204
the person being the judge was such a WILD PLOT TWIST
It's wholesome and heart breaking at the same time, she still supports him and be his kind-hearted friend but her being the judge means she is still far better than him no matter how much time and effort he put to improve
@@Omega-jg4oq wdym "she" lmao
@@lwin1568 I gotta call her something and the character does look like a girl lol
@@lwin1568 Oh no, someone used the wrong pronoun for a fictional character from an animated music video, what am I ever gonna do 😭
@@AShadeOfWhiteAndBlackNigga what is you talkin about
Can I just say how nice it was that his "rival" was never attacking him? He was always so nice. I am this child and i learned to stop competing against others. Now i compete against myself daily.
The rival is so far above him it's almost condescending when he gives him the gold star. 😅
@@chriseronyyeah but the rival didn’t mean it as an attack. It seemed like genuine support that was misinterpreted (understandably ngl)
There's nothing wrong with competing, just don't get caught up in an unhealthy envy and obsession, don't let your improvement become your whole identity.
Lmao real
wise shit

That's easy to say when you're Freddie fucking Mercury.
That's right, I am uniquely trash. No one is as bad as me.
@@germandan5you’re not as bad as the Florida man stories ❤
as an artist i relate to this video so hard, also noticed that I like how the character always draws a flower, but every time with skill growth it looks different, because it came trough many phases of art progress. Like in the beginning flower looks messy, in the middle more in academic way, in the end it looks more creative and interesting, because the character already knows fundamentals of drawing and stylisation and use them in artwork. Note: also! in the beginning we see a person who shows his drawing and the main character is jealous about the art level. So in the end, when he reach creative phase his drawings start to look like that one his classmate did in the past. But in the end we see that artist starting to connect with his childhood, becoming more individual, and the flower looks alike that one he draws in the beginning of his art journey.
Yesssss I love that references, I'm also an artist and I feel It too, I was jealous about others, jealous and thinking that I needed to reach the top, for me was the realism, but now I just find muy confort place, I still want to know More and grow as an artist but with my own path
As a story teller, I see a kid that spends his whole life trying to do what’s popular, trying to get praise from other people. They develop as an artist, always dissatisfied because they’re trying to reach a monumental goal, and when they reach that goal, they feel disconnected from their accomplishments because their art doesn’t feel like their own; it’s an amalgamation of what they think they should be. So, they give the award to the person they were copying; because it’s truly that person’s work in their eyes, not their own; and go home, burnt out and upset that their final goal wasn’t what they’d hoped. So, they tear everything down. Start over. Reclaim their art. They give their work the color and abstract simplicity that they had always dreamed about, that their art has always deserved. It’s theirs now, and they’ve made that child in the beginning proud.
@@ArmorWolf Yeah you got it very right, at the end what the protagonist of this animated video did was copy the other artist's art because it was what was praised and popular, but wasn't original and wasn't his artwork. As an artist myself I kinda find stupid at times people that will just give up their passion when comparing to others or just give up your passion to anything. I am not the most compromised or talented artist, but I still adore art, I may not draw everyday or may not done my best for develop better my skills, but I still love art and is my passion, and I had many hard times where the only person to stay there for me was me myself, that's why I find that those people that give up their passion is because they just didn't had the most strong passion at all. In a certain way the protagonist is the same, yeah they did go the wrong way when basically copying that specific person art and it was because he didn't know what exactly he wanted, and got misleaded, but at the end he realizes that what all the time he wanted is just enjoy his passion instead, and in the way even tho he did go the wrong path with his passion, he STAYED with that passion and still did go by that, and that's where you can see that all you need at the end is have that strong passion for your art, not the skills or the talent, but the LOVE for what you do and appreciate.
It looks like they were trying to copy to appease and be liked as well which is so relatable and sad .. trying to mimic things that others like or what inspires you and you either lose track of yourself or grow.
@@ArmorWolf Yeah, you're right. The whole video is about the artistic journey, how people try to replicate someone's work to be appreciated, but ended up being upset, because they lost their identity, who they are. Also, the detail when the protagonist getting more and more stars with skill growth and then got award in a form of a star confirms this
This animation had me sobbing once i finished watching it. There's just smth so painful, yet also realistic, with how the protagonist handles their "rivalry" with the other person. They never intended for their compliment to be taken as mockery. All they wanted was to be a kind person
Love the way the main character realizes that it's not about being the best one, even after working hard to improve his skills. It's about enjoy your art / path in your way ❤
I absolutely love how his classmate isn’t an antagonist. He was the mc’s number one supporter from the start 🥹
Yeah. But cuz of his ego, he didn’t see the bright side.
Nah I don't feel that
@@mfadhilal-fatih1427 maybe you didn't, and that's fine too. but the smile was really genuine toward the mc
Then I would recommend you watching "skate leading stars"
YES! I love the classmate!!!!❤ I love this whole animation❤❤❤
Honestly, the fact that the classmate was actually a nice guy, makes this more realistic. It's like hating, being jealous of and chasing the shadow of someone you think is trying to be better than you, only to realize that they were never trying to compete with you in the first place. It just shows that there will always be someone better than us and we should just focus on doing something because it makes us happy. I really love this animation so much
Problem is: when doing what makes us happy doesnt give us money, modern life is hard
Facts! It reminded me of Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto, y'all should read that if you haven't already. Same vibes.
Nah, actually, the classmate being nice is one hell of an unrealistic thing! At least try to lie in a better way😂
Reminds me of that time Princess Carolyn (from Bojack Horseman) had one-sided beef with her rival Vanessa Gecko only to find out she wasn't constantly trying to one-up her lol
@bam797 Nah in my experience it's pretty common for them to be nice, which almost makes it worse because you have no traumatic backstory to blame your faults and unhappiness on, it was just you.
This video got me crying for some reason😭 it is actually very true for most artists to compare themselves with others thinking that you are worse than the others. Still very nice animation and music)) have a lovely day everyone :3
I also felt this video relatable with me, i always compare myself with my classnate who is better than me in art and she always buy art supplies everymonth while me i just a budget artist
This animation carries so much emotion it’s beautiful. It’s impacted me so much by showing me that being in trend and “good” at art doesn’t really matter as long as you have fun making it, art can come in many ways and this animation shows you that you can be yourself. The MC copies the guy with white hair to get the praise that he’s never gotten but finds out he’s been denying his true self by trying to be like someone he’s not. Being yourself is really hard when people don’t like your true self but being someone your not is way worse because you end up trying so hard to be someone else but then forget who you actually are, always comparing yourself to someone else puts you down because you think they are better and you’ll never be good enough when that isn’t true. Being yourself is just enough. I just wanted to say that this animation has changed my perspective since I myself used to think like this, you may put yourself down because everything you do is bad but you need to remember that you are needed and everything you do isn’t wrong in life. Be yourself. 3:17
It hits harder when you were known as the "gifted" and "talented" kid your entire life; but as you got older, you just become average.
So true bestie 😭
Listen to the song average it’s very relatable I feel your pain
This. This is the reason I have depression now
@@ViartiArt woopsie poopsie :P
Above the sky there is another sky. You're just a big fish in a small pond. There's always someone who can do things better than you. It is almost 99% there's people like that.
yall the message isn't entirely about others being better than you as much as it is about being happy with yourself...
Yeah, I thought I'd find more people relating to it on this level, but it seems this line of thinking was completely off point again...
Have you ever thought that it encompasses both? The feeling of feeling like you have to measure up to others, but then learning to accept yourself and your art?
Hope you are doing good and staying safe. Sending support and hearts. ❤️❤️❤️
It's both since it's a journey that doesn't start and end with that. People can relate to the beginning just like they can relate to the end
@@Suited_NatThe person you replied to didn’t say it had nothing to do with that other interpretation, just that the other interpretation wasn’t the whole picture.
At every other KZhead video I've ever watched. This is painfully relatable, I do have an envious personality along with the MC did. The feeling that you already improved your skills and you're better than everybody else. You'll still thinking some other people who are far more better than you or somehow you're still not good enough as other. As an envious and an average artist on the internet, I think I'm prefer being myself than to comparing to other. Even my arts is not better than the others, we're all having fun and being free of what we desire. Enjoying what we are doing today just like the MC did in the end. And I'm kindly glad someone made this animation video for me to relate.
through my path i learned that "there's noone worse, there's noone better", and this is actually an ego's pride that tricks us to believe it and suffer from it. It is possible to break free from it, even if it's hard and you have to constantly remind yourself "there's noone worse, there's noone better"
I love how the 'better guy' isn't mean or antagonistic, he's genuinely a nice person, but the fact he's 'better' than MC (at least in MC's eyes), automatically makes MC feel jealous and hate him, that's extremely relatable. I also love how, after MC realises he's been just following the crowd and not creating art the way he wants to, the greyscale colouring of his art disappears and is replaced with vibrant colours, signifying how he's no longer just chasing approval but instead doing art for fun and because it's his passion. Overall, 10/10 animation, thank you for making this!
Why is he called MC Donalds
@@ItsartoTV Lmao
MC means "Main Character"@@ItsartoTV
another melanie fan?!🥳
I really wish the ending could have been different, not saying its bad though!! I love hes proud of himself now. like, the second or third, or even last place felt the same way about him, and they help them, and the boy becomes a judge! And gives everyone their own gold stickers :)nd start an art class
I LOVE HOW HE REVERTS BACK TO DRAWING LIKE A CHILD IN THE END HE JUST GOES BACK TO MAKING ART FOR FUNN 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I literally cried.
I wish you wouldn’t compare it to drawing like a child because that’s kinda belittling imo but otherwise I agree
How? @@scootysweets
@@scootysweets it seems bro doesnt know about picasso 💀
@@scootysweets Bro what 😭
Just because you can’t succeed in one thing immediately doesn’t mean you are bad. It means you need practice or to just take a brake.
True, also it's good to take advices from more developed people.
you are oversimplifying it. because everything can be better with improvement. but the problem is this improvement may cost more than you think. and not everyone can pay that cost.
@@Dusk_Wolf sounds like a skill issue ngl
So I may have overanalyzed this animation for the last 15 minutes, here's what I found In the first part of the scene starting at 0:45, the main character still draws with color. In the second part of that scene, the MC makes some drawings that seem to be vent art, or at least in some way signifying that he's not okay. In the third part, all the color in his drawings is gone; nature and color has given its place to math and patterns. Throughout this entire scene (almost), the MC has been chasing stars, others' approval. Making drawings that others will like, even he himself doesn't. At the award ceremony, the "better classmate" gives him an actual, genuine smile, one that says "I'm proud of you". But all the MC sees in his jealousy (and what we see in the reflection of his eyes in the shot right after) is a mocking laugh. In the next scene, the MC reflects on what he's been doing in art. Simply copying others because that is what gets stars. He thinks about whether he really wants the award, while his jealousy questions whether he truly deserves it. In the end he snaps and makes a scene at the award ceremony, saying that the judge is who deserves the actual award because he's simply... better than him. Once he's back home, he is contemplating his decisions. "Why did I do that?" He had finally received what he wanted the most this entire time, then practically threw it away. Not only that, he was so jealous of someone that just wanted to show genuine support. About at that point his drawing is delivered to him, and he looks at it. He finally decides that this isn't the art he wants. This scene is the first time since the main character's childhood that we see him create with color, symbolizing that his passion for art and his joy in making it has returned. He smiles while painting this time, truly having fun. In the scene where he's giving out high-fives, he gives one to his classmate in the end; he's realized that the classmate being "better" doesn't really change much, and is thankful for the classmate supporting him the whole way through. In the final scene, the MC's childhood self is also there, drawing the first flower he drew. The protagonist is connected with his inner child again, making art not to get others' affirmation, but because it's fun.
I think, this is one of the best comment ever, I really like how you explain everything, you made me pay more attention to every detail, thank you very much
@@Lynn_ssan you're welcome!
I don’t think the other guy was trying to be mean or put the main character down. The main guy was just so down on himself he couldn’t see the other guy was genuinely trying to be supportive
i think from mc's point of view it sort of looked like he just pitied him cause no one gave attention to mc's artwork at all. mc might've thought that maybe he was looking down on him, even if his intentions were quite the opposite
@@luremeintourworld that’s really insightful, I honestly think I lived a lot of my life in that same sorta way. Pushing people away and putting up walls because, in my mind, no one could’ve possibly liked me and anything I was trying to do or was trying to really supportive... I thought it had to be pity or cruel mockery. And It didn’t help being genuinely bullied and told that I’m no good at anything by so many. It’s hard growing up and realizing that any talent I thought I had, was already out there in the world, and was being done by someone already a million times better at it than I thought I could ever be.
Pretty accurate. When you look down on yourself and your own achievements, it's harder to see other's opinions and support in a positive note, and instead you act defensive, even abrasive, and sometimes that bounces towards yourself. It needs a level of self-love to also been able to appreciate other's compliments and constructive critics on the matter, know how well and deep to take it, and apply it to become better for yourself.
I thinks it’s up to the point of view of the different Characters. One may thing they are being mocked even tho the guy was supportive.
@@luremeintourworldintent vs impact
Tbh the irony in this that some completely untalented people decided to post your work without credit and make it go viral while you get no recognition...You're very talented,as an artist and aspiring animator your work inspires me. I hope you will continue creating masterpieces for all of us to enjoy!
WHAT. That’s disgusting. Im glad its getting some attention though (the video)
The “gifted” kid handing out a star is my life story. As a kid my best friend and i both made art. She was the one everyone wanted to partner with for art projects, shes the one people asked when they needed art related things done, in high school i was promised set design for the musical and then it was given to her. No one at all recognized my art but she would tell me how she was jealous of what i could do and wished she could draw like me
I feel bad for you, don't worry.You will get that recognize,just keep practicing and hoping for the best
I usually never comment on youtube, but this has to be the best animatic I've seen. I feel like I relate so much to this character and all the details just make it so much more heart wrenching and beautiful. Amazing work!!!
I think it’s kinda sweet how the one kid who tried to hold the MC up is shown again applauding the MC’s success in art. (At least i think thats what happened)
Yeah that’s was them grown up
Why is he a girl now I'm so confused

It's not about being better than everyone it's about being happier than everyone while doing it.
there's no reason to be happier then everyone when your already happy ;p
" Hey! You did so well, great job! :)" "You're still better.'' 'Thats okay!" "It is?" "Yea absolutely! Just try to know that you are still so cool, doesn't matter how much skill you have you are still totally awesome.'' ''oh, thanks.:)'' '' If you ever need help seeing the bright side, I can help!'' anyways did anyone notice when he was showing his stages of art throughout years on the wall while walking there was art of the 'better' kid?
When you compare your value to others your achievements will end up being theirs instead of your own.
WTF that's sooo deep
what a beautiful quote.
I needed this
Though it's beautiful it's false :) It starts obviously painful, due to the amount of new things going on and "restrictions" as an excuse. But one day, you'll see yourself high enough for you to look on others. There's also one thing when reaching the peak, it's just either, you let your spot be waiting for others or keep going until you end up villainous. Edit: (you can also be peaceful instead of villainous)
@@ChraO_o I rather keep myself at the bottom with my achievements than reach that same peak just like all the rest. I’ll make sure my journey is mine, not motivated by others. I’ll truly love my work because it came from me. But that’s just me
The fact the color in the MC's art disappears overtime as his artwork becomes more and more black and white, until he finally comes to realize he has value too, and in doing so regains that dimension of color in his art at the end, is beautiful. Seeing the world only through comparison to others is to see through a greyscale filter. See through that filter for too long and eventually your own creations end up devoid of color too. The MC, in leaving that unhealthy mindset behind brought color back into his art and understood that what he has to offer contains within it a beautiful dimension of color you can't find anywhere else.
this is so accurate!!
So true🥺🥺
YOU ARE RIGHT !❤ We just forget our own value bcoz of this comparison
I think God himself sent this video and comment to me, i love being a writer despite it not being the career i wanna pursue, but often i compare my writing to others and it brings me down, because it feels like my stories suck, but then i look back at the comments in the chapters i post, and everyone is just so nice, saying they love my stories I need to remember that the colors i can bring will be enjoyable for a lot of people, and i don't need to please everyone The point of art is to have fun with yourself, and showing that art has the purpose of bringing that same joy and fun to others
When you're just a kid, almost no one cares about your work, no matter what it is. As children, teenagers and adults copy other people's "arts" so they can improve and that horrible feeling of feeling inferior and useless disappears. What makes me saddest is that no one values art and work and they always think it's easy, and then they value more advanced artists without thinking about beginners. but the most evolved artists have already been through this, and they will never diminish it or rub it in your face that they are better than you.
I learned this feeling when I was fourteen from my english academy. I solved some problems after reding an article about this phenomenon and the article taught me it as 'a bad side of Lake Wobegon effect'. It still reminds me how depressed I was feeling til' I became nineteen.
This so incredible, i love the portrayal of the "better person" they dont have to be mean, they can be kind and supportive and you can still hate them out of pure envy and jealousy, seeing their act of support as that of ridicule and pity. That's so incredibly relatable
yeah it just makes the MC so much more human
It's not even hate or jealousy most of the time, you just feel so inferior to everyone all you want is to be their equal, all the bad feelings you have are being redirected to yourself
god, this. sometimes i see a girl and hate her because i wish i could be her sometimes i hate my friends because they're better at everything i've hated everyone for some reason or another
Shit that hit the sore spot. It would have been easier if they were talented asshole, you can at least justify your hatred as hating their attitude. When it comes to talented kind individuals, there is nothing to objectively hate them. Nothing to justify your hatred. But you still feel it, and you realize that this feeling of hatred is out of jealousy, envy, and inferiority complex and you're the bad person in this scenario.
Yes I agree
I love that the artist who is "better" than him isn't even mean or arrogant. I'm so tired of the trope that everyone is out to get you, like no. This fellow artist was even supportive of them. Beautiful animation 💙💙💙
I agree!
Yeah, i loved it too! Wish i could see more of those
ESOOOO!!!
I think it mightg be more about loving themselves
The feeling is less imma prove you wrong and more like I don't need your fucking sympathy!
I feel this so hard, literally such a perfect representation of how competitive art can be, always worrying about who’s better and looking for ways to come out on top, the desperate need to be the best and gain recognition and praise, the frustration when you realise that no matter how hard you try you will never be the best, because art is not about who’s better, art is about creating something beautiful and having fun doing it, it’s about expressing yourself and creating something for you, not other people. I spent my whole life with this mindset and I am so happy I’m rid of it, art is so much more enjoyable when you’re doing it for you rather than other people, instead of judging your own skills and focusing only on getting better try to have some fun with it, turning it into a chore will burn you out, take a break and create something fun, doesn’t matter if it’s a drawing, piece of writing, a sculpture whatever just make something and have fun doing it
My friend sent me this video because it made them think of me. Not just because I'm an artist who always compares myself to others, but the music. My friend didn't realize who made the song, but thought it sounded like something I would like. I immediately recognized the singing voice, even though I hadn't heard the song before. This made my eyes well up. It hit me hard. In multiple ways. This speaks to me so much.
I really like how the main character gets upset at the person who is "better" than him, even though the person "better" than him is praising his work. It really shows that artists cant truly be happy without overcoming the burden of envy.
Interesting to point it out. Its sad but also I really relate to this part. I got better from the enviness of other people achivments, after 15 years I think my artstyle is decend but there is burden on me that other people had this luck to get audience. I didnt even tho i tried. Its funny how a lot of artists just have to deal with thought they will never make it even though they work really hard on things. I always get, maybe if Ill draw like this popular artist someone will like me? But I decided to fight this thought. I dont know where it will lead me, lets hope for the best...
Not surprised AI stole painters works if they all so ambitious and envious)
It the same thing that prevents some of us to ever ask for help.. if we can't do the things perfectly, it's not worth anything because somewhere else there's better. And if we can't create anything with value, both as an object and as a way to share thoughts, then we are the one without value. I think the hardest part is when your skills are low, but you can't find the force to progress for any reason. Most of the time, i feel like my hands ain't mine, and i see my friends doing great things. I'm proud of them, but ashamed of myself.
@@fatum8573 it won't be much suprised if most ai artist would be narcissistic because 1. They would pride over "their" art because they don't ever felt down and climbed back 2. They would get shit tons of validation, if they manage to find people stupid enough to believe they are something
@@mr.harrow3405ugh this is painfully accurate
This is exactly how I feel, I’ll do something and be proud of myself, but then there’s always that someone who’s better at the one thing I thought I was best at
It sucks to feel that way, but you gotta remember to not compare yourself to others. What matters is that you enjoy it; don't do something to be incredible or recognized by others or the best at something, do it because you want to and you enjoy it. If you can get that mentality down, then there's nothing to hold you back. Sure, compete against others, but make sure that above all you enjoy doing what you do.
is being the best truly what matters though?
i really wanted the title "artistic" in class, but.. the thing is, my very own best friend is the one who is better than me, and yk whats worse? i get this envious, jealousy feeling that i hide in the best way i can. and just like in the video.. i try to get to their level so i can just feel satisfied with what i draw, but i can never surpass them. its always them helping me throughout everything, i admit i am a bad person but.. i just feel like this is how i really am.
@polka____ The "artistic" title is bs. Being artistic doesn't depend on how "well" you can draw according to kids in your class who don't even understand the value of art, it depends on your own creativity. If you enjoy drawing, then you're artistic. That title shouldn't belong to one person alone. Don't try to copy your friend to surpass them, focus on finding a style you personally enjoy and just training in that. The minute you find your own style, you will already be on equal footing with them in your own terms. Art should be about putting meaning into your work, and having an outcome that truly means something to you, not putting yourself down because you don't match another person's idea of what art should look like.
@@hawkshalo you're pretty much right about everything, the problem with me is that I can't find my own style, I've tried, i tried so hard for so many long years.. but i just kind of gave up on that and feed into other peoples ideas, and that just makes me shit :C
This is actually incredible and a huge inspiration to me now going forward. As a fellow animator I know how much effort this must have taken, especially how consuming it is to sync it to the song. Not even mentioning one of the main themes. No matter how much I improve it still feels like everyone is 20 steps ahead of me. I really hope that my own stuff can inspire like this one day. Keep going on and making stuff like this.
The moment you start comparing yourself to someone else is the moment you'll be stuck in their shadow forever. Just be better than how you were yesterday and keep going.
Something I love seeing at the final scene is the childhood "rival" right at the end of the line once again admiring and congratulating this man's work. They never once meant to be a source of inferiority or judging their work. From day one they simply wished to express appreciation for another artist's efforts, because everyone deserves recognition for their art. It's not just a story of feeling like one's efforts aren't good enough, it's one about accepting one's self and appreciating the effort of those around you. The "rival" never meant to be that, and never saw themselves as such. I like to imagine that at the end when the main character "destroyed" their art which gave them an award to embrace their original pastel messy tones, it was satisfying for both of them. For the main character who'd repressed those original desires and style in an effort to strive for being "better", it was likely liberating to finally embrace it by destroying the art which caused so much misery and feelings of inadequacy. For the "rival", it was likely nice to see a fellow artist finally embrace their style and to see that same pastel flower from so many years ago finally bloom into what it is today.
Well said :)
very well said
Truly a profound way of saying: "Art is subjective" in my humble opinion
The animation is sooooooo good you can tell this animator really understand form(had to watch it like three times before I could be sure I wasn’t watching a 3d animation) and facial expressions and color and movement(god that part where he takes the mic! How did you do that?! It’s so liquid smooth and expressive too!)and it’s just so perfectly designed to follow the music. Not to mention the story and message are so fucking good while again fitting the song so well(that section with the him taking off the jacket paired with the wear a dress line was such a clever way of incorporating that line while still adding to the story, seriously chef’s kiss 👌). this is absolutely amazing I’m astounded that one person can have so much skill, you and this story are an inspiration, please take all the stars there yours ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm very confused, the rival was the little boy at first no? Who's the girl
One thing that my mother always told me: “there will always be someone who is better than you in something, but what really matters is if you did your best” so it doesn't matter if someone did better than you, what really matters is if you did your best :)
This is literally what Master Roshi teaches Goku. There will ALWAYS be someone stronger. Which means you ALWAYS have room to improve.
Exactly, a wise mother you have, unlike my mother who used to compare me to my rival but now she doesn't do that anymore
My teacher always thought us that we have to be better than the person next to us I did that My whole life I did my best but it catches up on u instead I think its best to be unique
it's a really good phrase, but...(and i'm not trying to be a downer) but how does it necessarily make someone feel better? Your best still wasn't good enough. I just wanna wrap my head around that.
Nah it doesn’t
Thanks for making this… I’ll be rewatching this many times for a long time to come, the reminder that the core reason why we do what we do is for our own happiness and not for comparison is very much required
This really represents how I feel like a very bad artist compared to others, even though I’m young and get frustrated. I sometimes wish I could just magically be amazing like others but I know they work so hard and improve but Idk I just relate to him from before, but the end is sweet where he realises he should just be himself, I’m yet to get there.
seeing those kids and the people at my age who's so talented and doing better than me... it's like a torture
Can relate to that...
Then maybe you need to stop comparing your journey to others? Some might have a natural flair for something yes but they also likely worked hard to get to the skill level they are now. Comparing their acheivments to torture simply because you haven't put in the work or perhaps naturally develop said skill slower than others is both horrible and unnecessary for yourself and them. 'Talent' is earned not magically poofed into existance and their hard work shouldn't be viewed as a slight towards yourself - their gain is not your loss unless you're some kind of narcessist who needs the spotlight and validation.
@@rabbitguts2518did you even watch the video
@@rabbitguts2518tell me you aren’t an artist without telling me you aren’t an artist
@@rabbitguts2518lol somehow you sound like you don’t know what you’re talking about. Obviously hard work matters but given the same about of time, someone who learns fast / someone with more innate talent will obviously progress much further and faster than someone who doesn’t. Im a 16 year old artist and there are 10, 11, 12, 13 year olds who are miles ahead of me, it’s impossible not to be envious or jealous of natural talent. Of course we’re not discrediting their hard work, but if only it was more effortless for our brains to pick up more information. Hard work can only take you so far. Think about basketball. How much easier is it to go pro if you’re tall than if you’re short? height is something you’re born with, and you can be extremely skilled yet still fall flat compared to those with the same amount of skill who are taller. It’s the same in any other field. It’s a little naive to believe that talent doesn’t play a role, there are geniuses and normies. We just gotta own it. Of course being jealous isn’t necessary. It’s not like people want to be jealous. It’s just human nature.
The fact that the mc gets more pissed off when the “better” guy praises him is RIDICULOUSLY relatable. It may be serious praise from them, but it feels like pity
Foreal. It's like they're going "aww at least u tried" Even when u know they're being genuine
Wow i found this therapeutic, as i remember being the normal artist never the better one, this film beautifully capsulates the jealousy road
2:18 i can't explain why but i love when polished animations looks like this for a second. its so human
0:46 - 1:02 You see how the color of his drawings go from vibrant with colors to monotone, signifying that he’s losing the sense of fun in Art. Only at the end does he regain that feeling again…
woahh :0
I didnt notice that
It's also amazing how the people he was envious about also had vibrant colors, signifying that they enjoyed doing the things they were passionate about. He was the only one who broke down while having nothing but jealousy as a drive to be better, while everybody else were growing doing the things they loved, he on the other hand had improved on his passion out of envy.
I thought of the same thing when i watched it
The portrail of "the better one" is SO real. Most of the time, artists who are better than you will do their best to help you, and maybe even genuinely enjoy what you do. But you simply can't stop despising them, just because you wish you were as good as them. This really hits in the feels
Nah, not for me at least. Im annoyed i can't do what they do, but not at them. Then again, I'm not a jealous person at all, i don't ever want to drag people down to my level or be in their place instead of them, i just want to do better myself.
@@mkzhero this
@@mkzhero yeah, it kind of "disgusts" me how most of these comments are despising the artists that is better than them in their heart
@@hysh9483 You gotta understand this is a pretty emotional topic that hits hard for people, they're gonna be very hyperbolic with the words they use. They probably don't actually despise them, it's just envy. I get where you're coming from, but it doesn't hurt to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Im feeling the same right now, but I'm not directly mad or envious at them, it just comes from the fact I'm in a low place where my self worth is draining because of comparison. I truly want the best for them.
The best part in my life is that my classmates made me love my art Like one day we were assigned on an art project and I hated mine but my classmates loved it so much they cried😭🙏🏻
I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YALL, NO ONE WILL BE LIKE YOU AND YOUR UNIQUE! Think of it as a singer, no one has the same music as them, because even if they copy, they'll always have imperfections, which is okay, not being amazing at something is fine, no one is perfect :D Remember that girls/boys/or any others! IF YOU TRY YOUR BEST, YOUR AMAZING! :)
the simple phrase "everyone is better than me" espiecially since in the context of art, feels so relatable to me.. the absurd unexplainable suffering jelousity and hate it strikes inside to you see no matter how hard you try.. at least for me.. there is always a million people on top of you
Yeah so turn that into fuel, nothing will stop those feelings unless u achieve greater satisfaction in life than those people. This can be through a happy family, success, money or any other source of satisfaction
Agreed bro this is like you are fighting the war that you already lost from the start and in arts what is most needed is natural not hard work I am not saying hard work would not be paid off but can't be as good as someone talented hard work it will be thousand time better then our hard work
Remember, everyone's art style is different, just like how everyone is different.
And they're getting younger everyday
Same
2:00 the flower he originally drew is the only one glowing because it was the only one he made from his enjoyment of drawing, making it unique and special. While all the other ones are grey, this is something that took me three times watching this to understand.
Wow thanks for this......❤❤
Hi Kiana
Hi
@@wooper_is_cute sup.
I wouldn't notice if u didn't mention it tho 😅
Bro just entered Villain arc but remembered That .... He Have no enemies.
Sadly not everyone escapes that rapping hole... Me for example. But even tho i know how bad and destructive it is I can't stop it or end it in any way... I've already holed out everything of "myself" inside of me to make space to become like someone else... Now I don't even know myself anymore... But I do pray for anyone else having those problems to get out of this rabbit hole!! Keep fighting y'all!
They also say The difference between beginner and a master is that the beginner never tried as many times as the master failed Keep pushing, you'll be there!
Or just get contacts
True man. You can't forfeit in drawing. Just keep pushing on drawing. It really will take some time, sometimes it will take more time for you than for someone else, but never stop.
um i think this misses the point of the movie.. it's about how it's not important to be 'good' or a master at all; it's about doing what you love. mastering/perfecting only leads to not feeling good enough where you are. there is no such thing as a beginner if you consider that a baby draws exactly what it sees/feels, hence 'good' is totally subjective
BS
I dont think the point of this is "im not good" it's "im not the best"
"You might lack the talent, you may not be good at what you do, but what matters is your will to still keep going" My friends boxing coach -
'Go hit the bag and stop being a bitch' - my coach probably
This! This is exactly the conclusion I got about myself, what else could I do? Stand still complaining wont change shit
I wish my parents acknowledged this lol
Also that it’s okay to give up on you dreams.
*Being Good OR Bad At Anything Except Appearance and Voice, It Depends On The Brain*
This hits hard for me, i got my motivation to start drawing again and stopped comparing myself to others. I always reminded myself the reason i drew, not for compliments but for fun. This vid helps a lot no cap❤
I love how the art that won hinted that he drew "perfection" (because of the symmetrical lines with no flaws) to get some praise while the art at the end symbolise the reason why he first started art was to feel the hapiness of doing it instead of resentment
“What is keeping you from focusing on your own journey and so overly focused on everyone else’s?”
i cant help it-
@@MovieArchive-sc5prI understand that. But sometimes, you gotta figure your stuff out, y'know? People can focus on themselves sometimes, too.
@@yishmoosa1234 yeah youre right, im trying to do that, thanks
True @@MovieArchive-sc5pr
Not having talent, not working on things (laziness), lack of interest in things
Totally relatable! Used to stress about keeping up with others, but when I switched focus to my own path, everything clicked. Surprisingly, that's when I saw my best results!🚀 And yet someone is better than you, and it's okay.
Bro the animation is so smooth and the drawings are like incredible, THIS IS SO FREAKING EPIC
I'm all too familiar with the feeling of seeing everyone as better but one day just saying "Fuck it I'll do it my own way!"
Me too brother
Im miles morales
I will look at others and I will keep looking knowing I will never be as good as they were
Like nah imma do my own thing
Miles morales reference
the fact that the protagonist's rival, or ''enemy'' is actually pretty nice, this shows he has no real good reason to hate him, he's just jealous.
I don't think he hated him
I mean, his intentions never looked ill and prob he actually wanted to be friends with him but the protagonist was consumed by envy and got the bad idea
I can't explain it.. But i don't think you understand, as an young artist i actually understand how it feel, Cause I've been through it.
@@Shizu_satoru as long as you compare yourself, you'll forever be bad. True artists dont draw for the sake of drawing or to get better. When you get at that one point, you will forget why you wanted to get better in the first place
@@vikranthandique1276"don't draw for the sake of drawing" my guy, you just described drawing for fun, what is a true artist then? and still technical skill is important. how about we let people draw for whatever reasons they want and not discourage the ones trying to get better at it or others doing it for fun?
On my first watch I thought this was just about being envious of people who are more talented than you, but on my second watch I realised there's more. It's about not just wanting to be like those people, but actually copying 'their' style and abandoning your own. Like how in art school there's a strict style you need to follow in order for your art teachers to consider it worth a high grade. The animation encourages individuality in art though. The kid at the start had the kind of art the judges would like yeah, but because our mc wanted to be great too he only copied his style and other people's, and ended up not with his own art but ANOTHER version of someone else's because that's what the other judges would consider to be 'talent'. He needed to learn to embrace his own style, rather than going for what he knew would get him praise and recognition. Only then was he actually happy with the art he was making.
Real
"How many times have you watched this?" Me: Yes.
I really love the moment when they reveal one of the judges is the star artist from the protagonist's childhood. You can see the relief in his face when he finally "makes it" quickly fade as he realizes that his rival was already where he stood and is now in the position to rate others. It's another insecurity a lot of us, especially in adulthood, face: Everybody is ahead of me. That realization that he'll never be done chasing that star hits too close to home.
At some unnecessarily flowery moment, he hugged the golden child who was the source of his pain. Ugh. This rarely happens in reality
I didn't even think that would be disturbing for him.
@@flavsi1963just because you havent experienced it doesnt mean it doesn't happen
It always hurts to see that you've worked very hard in order to achieve something, but then you realize that someone who has got that talent by birth, had already been wayyyy ahead of you, could be either physique, or memory, or any thing else.... By the way, in the first paragraph, last line, it should be "especially in adulthood phase"
@@alol_x4353 Well, to be honest, the guy lived in the darkness of fears, pain and depreciation, the moment when he tears up a photo with a smiling flower is the most realistic moment, because there is no sincere happiness in his life anymore, and now, in adulthood, when all this has accumulated in his soul, he invades some kind of a fit of happiness. Oh, if only this had happened to me and to a bunch of other people, to whom doctors confirmed a depressive state in childhood
I like how the last person they high-fived was the judge/ former school mate. It shows that despite any lingering feelings of envy or resentment they hold no grudges and can appreciate either the support they got from them or the push they needed to progress further in their art journey
Not even just that, but the school mate also looked back towards him after that high-five. Like, he's always been paying attention his growth as the MC was.
I love that type of side character
Yeah the mc got depressed because of he himself
Here for this 🥰
I found this animation on Instagram, and man, im so glad people were crediting you in the comments because your art is absolutely amazing!
This animation is just way too relatable. The entire reason I draw art is to impress my friends, miles away better than my art. In fact, much of the stuff I do besides liking cars is literally for the purpose of trying to fit in with them. I feel like I'm trying to make people think I'm cool for no reason at all.
1:42 my favorite part It's when the realization sets in "What have I been doing this whole this time? Chasing after him, is this really what I wanted? To be behind someone for the rest of my life? Why am I even making art?"
Yeah!
I really like the symbolism. At first, he was drawing for fun, but he wanted to be seen, to be better. Over time, his drawings became more bland and solely focusing on the flower drawing that boy made when they were little. But after a while, when he rose to the top, he realized he didn't want it. And he changed. And after he changed, his life regained color; he became truly happy.
I just now realized the judge is the same boy all those years ago. No matter WHAT you do, someone will always be better, so why not just do what you enjoy?
Absolutely beautiful! I just know this took so long. It was worth it! Looks great. You should be proud of yourself!
"Better is not best," it is knowing that you tried to be well, better no matter what we do it doesnt mean it's perfect or it could be perfect but better it's better not being the professional you could trip and fall without any drawbacks have some faith in yourself!
"I dont ask myself why everyone is better than me, i ask myself why i'm worse than everyone" -me, probably
Also me probably
"Are we really the worst version of ourselves?"
@@AnythingPrettyMuchyes and no.
You might not realize it, so just remember that you only wish you were/are better because you love yourself enough to do so.
@@lag9190 feels like hatred, frankly For all the impotence, the worthlessness, the shamefulness There's nothing loving in that
As someone who struggles with perfectionism, I cried so hard watching this animation. It really describes the feeling of seeing people better than you so well, especially the fact that the ones better than you are so kind to you, because that’s what I’ve been experiencing. I keep feeling upset that I’m worse than my peers in so many aspects, but the ones I’m jealous of always turn out to be the nicest one to me, and that hurts me deeply, making me disappointed in myself for getting jealous of such good people. This video is the best portrayal of that feeling I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for creating this.
If only they were assholes you can at least justify or find a flaw in them as a person, to make yourself feel better. But when they're a kind person, it just makes you feel like you're the villain in this story of competition. Destined to never beat them and not favored by everyone.
@@TheOverlordEND that’s sadly true, like I’m really thankful to have such nice people around me, but at the same time it just makes me feel that I’m losing to them in treating people too
No one is perfect, we can agree on that tbh, but grinding isn't terrible, just don't overdo it, tho I really crave to be the bad guy, I just love helping people cause the feeling afterwards knowing you cheered up someone makes you feel nice you know?
Moi aussi ça m'énerve que les gens sont meilleurs que moi à chaque fois quand une personne à des meilleurs notes sur un domaine que je suis forte ça m'énerve je fais des crises à cause de ça franchement bon courage pour la suite
What you said reminded me of that time when I managed to speak to the artist I admired. While it was nice for them to be kind to me, it hurts to know our art is vastly different. However, I appreciate my random breakthroughs more and more nowadays
my friend showed me this at a sleep over, my entire life genuinley turned around after it
This is such a beautiful animation. As an artist trying to forge my path, I really needed to see this. We might not be happy with where we are now, but the future is bright if we believe it to be. We all have our own paths and styles which take time to develop. Thank you for making and sharing this and to everyone reading this, don't give up I wish you the best for your futures :)
the part where the more he grew, the more his art becomes better but also colorless. but then at the end he denies it, and went back to make things fun and colorful. beautiful and simple, fun and creative, but also a contrast to what he became
You could also see his award winning art has a color in the middle, depicting there's still a "colorful" thing behind his art. The end was a burst of that color
the artist: aw man, that guy's cake is way better than mine. the audience: holy shit ! two cakes !
I love cake.
I looooooove cake!!!
his CAKE?!?!
@@ElysiumGresit no...i mean cake, not HIS cake
Exactly what I was thinking after watching this video
It’s true, we’re all racing for some reason, skipping a year of school would feel like a disaster but when youll get older it just doesn’t matter, you could skip a few years of life and wake up the same person
I originally saw this on tiktok and it truly just spoke to me, as an artist who thought everyone else was better at everything than me during high school and early college. I used to think I could never be friends with another artist as I was that insecure and I would constantly try to one up my classmates in my projects not to improve but to be better than them. I also tried emulating others who I liked the style of more. Now as a senior about to graduate with a degree in graphic design I look back on those early days and see how much I've grown in my art and as a person/confidence. My best friend is also a graphic designer and we both have passions for illustration and book art, and I am not jealous of her and her work but love being able to see how chooses to interpret things as well as how we can bounce ideas between each other during projects. I also have become more comfortable in my own style/skills. I still work to improve but I don't see it as a competition between me and the other students, I see it as I want to improve in that area for myself and for my own work. I personally sometimes dislike my style of art and am envious of others for their skills but it never last long and it drives me to grow and to learn all I can to reach the point that I am more satisfied with my own art. I also learned over the years that trying to fit what seems popular at the time or just making art to fit in is dissatisfying and actually hurts me creatively. All in all, this is so beautiful, and it makes me think of that time in my life and how I've grown from where I started. I love this animation so much it's so fluid and dynamic, I love how there is no true antagonist except the main character themselves. Also, I love the main characters design, I know it's simple but the design in your style and the expressions and so good that the character has such a personality to them. Sorry for the long rant, I just love this so much I can't stop watching it.

What's so bad about being toxic is that no matter what kindess you give them like the "rival" does it will always be used to reinforce their irrational hatred. Other people can only help so much but they need to realize themselves to let go of their egoism.
This animation is so well-made. I am obsessed and impressed by it. the music is so good, the story line, and the ending. this is a masterpiece. thank you so much to put on so much hard work. I love this video more than words can say.
I hate how this phrase has become such a deafening echo throughout my mind, its impossible to escape and ever feel content with myself
Me too,though,mine's different
Then you should find what speaks to you and if you want to do better than work hard for it but the key is to not show at the other but show Ir to you to yourself that is not about being better but is what i like ..... If it helps.
@@f.e.l.i.z What about keeping a diary of your art and seeing the progress after a few years? Or maybe 2 or 1 year later?
@@f.e.l.i.zthis is me right now too I can’t draw much either 😿 depressing
I believe in you
As a human, I've been suffering with inferiority complex every day. Always compare myself to others and overthink, contemplating my life choices. Living this way is just equivalent to not living at all, like live just to be negative all of the time. I hope no one ever has to be like me.
same…
I’m living like you right now, and many others are as well. It’s made me extremely depressed and I have many thoughts about not wanting to live anymore. I used to draw well a couple of years ago, but my anxiety and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) in my hands makes me not want to draw or do anything anymore…
@@Silvia.Araujo I compare to myself to almost everyone about what I could do, and I still don't get why I do so and then just get depressed from my own negative thoughts...
When I’m in a similar situation I’ve found the best thing I can do is look at old things I’ve made and remake them. Every time I do that I’m blown away by the ways I’ve improved without ever noticing. The only productive person to compare yourself to is your old self. Remember when you compare yourself to others you are never seeing the whole picture. 99% of great artists have sketchbooks full of terrible art tucked away in a bookshelf somewhere-and even prodigies tend to stagnate if they don’t put the work in to get better. You don’t have to be the best to be valuable or have a positive impact on people. You just have to try. The only way to really fail at something is to give up. Some people have more hurdles to climb than others, but that makes even the smallest achievements even more valuable. If you love doing something keep doing it. You WILL get better.

you are not alone
Real
I wonder if your gonna compare yourself to Picasso next.
You are not comparing yourself to other people, of that you are incapable. You compare yourself to the self you see in them. Competition is a lie.
This reminds me of an experience I had in elementary school. At my first school, I was always the best artist in any of my classes. The other kids marveled at my work and loved to watch me draw. I would draw stuff for them if they asked me for it, because I just loved the validation. Later I moved to a different school and discovered that I wasn't the best anymore. There was one kid that was way better than me. Head and shoulders above. I couldn't even compete, and since it was a new school and I had no friends anyway, nobody cared about me anymore. I hated him. I never talked to him and didn't know a thing about him, but I knew I hated him. About halfway through the schoolyear our teacher put on an impromptu talent show for us. No real planning, just "sign up and show us what you got!" Kids signed up to dance, sing, do cartwheels, fold paper boats and airplanes... just any old thing, but that kid that I hated sat in a corner and shrank from the world, looking about ready to cry. I approached him and asked what was wrong. I don't know why I did it. It just seemed like the sort of thing you're supposed to do. He told me that he was ashamed. Everybody had a talent except for him. So, I told him he should draw a picture of a dragon on the whiteboard. I still kind of hated that I had just handed him another win, but, when I realized that he genuinely did not see himself as better than me, or anyone else for that matter, I just couldn't really hate him anymore. When he realized he could do that, and when he stole the show with his amazing art he was so genuinely grateful. I didn't enter the talent show myself, and these days I don't draw much anymore. But I do still work in youth outreach. I don't think I ever really cared that much about art in the first place.
underrated comment
Looks like you found what you really shined in too.
What a story. I hope that this person is doing great now.
i guess you got the greatest gift, kindness
The thing you said about art is the same for languages for me. I can kind of understand you.
This is amazing!! I know that this took a lot of work and I promise it paid off, this turned out so incredible.
I have never seen so much emotion being expressed in only three minutes in an animation! how you’re such a great artist!
I'm so speechless... I'm in genuine tears. You captured the feeling so well. It's unreal. I'm a minor and an "artist" who's currently going through this "phase." I don't know how to get out of it, but you captured the feeling of an inferiority complex so accurately, it's depressing and terrifying. Many goshdang applause to you. This is an amazing work of art.
Yes, this is also exactly how I feel about this animation!! I just stumbled upon it today, and MAN does it perfectly encapsulate the feelings of self-doubt and getting stuck. I’m in my senior year of high school and trying to rediscover the point of making art without feeling like I’m falling behind. It’s nice how many artists regardless of ages can relate to these feelings in some ways. I hope things will get better for you, take care
@@hpthelonesomeartist783 I think the thing about art is capturing a message or expressing something to the public, so as an Artist myself, I don't think art is about skills rather what you can show and express to a public, or to yourself, something so strong that can resonate with people hearts or just something that you did put effort in that can capture people's interest, or at times just a like ghhgd
I'm a writer and many novice writers confess to me all the time they're jealous. But they don't know. They didn't see my first stories when I was 13. I was mocked and had no readers. But I ignored that, I just kept writing. They didn't see the long hours I spent writing until the sunrise, until I couldn't feel my hands. They didn't see the thousands of pages I wrote day after day, only to feel inferior to someone else as well. Every amazing artist you see started exactly where you are right now, feeling the same things you feel. You'll get there too one day. Always remember to do it for yourself, not anyone else. Draw because you want to, because it's fun. With time, you'll forget those negative feelings tied to it when you see other people's work. They're never looking down on you, they're rooting for you.
I went through this for a long time. I’d lost confidence for a while, and was angry at myself, that I couldn’t draw with such detail as others in my art classes did. But, then something dawned on me that one of my instructors said while we critiqued each other after a drawing session: “This isn’t about comparing each other. It’s about showing each other what you can improve on, and complete with yourself”. I then broke out of that short-term inferiority by realizing a greater motivation: I can turn that negative energy into the drive to become better than myself. To compete with myself, and learn to unrobe my work. Rather than try to follow, and be other artists. Many creatives can go through this rough patch, but sometimes? It comes down to turning that negative energy into something useful. Something productive. Use that passionate anger, put the energy and emotions into the canvas. You may just surprise yourself, when you turn your brain off, stop comparing and trying to mimic others, and get lost in the art. Lost in your imagination. As David Bowie once said: “Art is what happens when you dream”.
Seek help😂
To me, this symbolises wanting to have a purpose, and a talent and striving for it after seeing everyone else succeed. But in the end realising you can never truly be the best and encouraging others and accepting your flaws is wayyy more important.
The problem is that he never tried cocaine. He'd work twice as hard 💀
Nice one man :)
I am 15y old and in the past i always thought about myself being the best person in my class, this was weird. I am Brazilian and my english isn't the best, actually i Just know the Basic but i am trying to show for everyone, its hard i am trying to understand my mind, i hate myself so much for hating everyone that is Better than me with things that i do, inscounsciently i do this , ITS the worst feeling, This vídeo made me look up to myself, i cried a lot watching this, its difficult to understand all this emotion that we have, but i promisse, i am trying to be a Better version of myself, without this type of emotions, i need the "Paz interior" i don't know how to say this in english. Thanks, the creator of this production, you have a new follower
@@danielmaeda3271 aproveita enquanto você ta novo e tente fazer coisas que vem na cabeça só por querer, vai por mim. Quer chegar em um nivel na arte que você nunca viu? pesquise bastante,experimente e tente botar em prática o que aprendeu. Quer aprender a tocar um instrumento? então compre um e vá aprender. Quanto mais você aproveitar o que a sua mente tem a oferecer maior vai ser o seu ânimo e esse sentimento vai sumir. É bem fácil você ficar tímido por N motivos quando mais novo e evitar de fazer muita coisa que seria bom tentar, igual andar de bicicleta sem rodas de apoio. Aliás, esse conselho serve para relacionamentos e socialização também.
I relate to this, as someone who plays violin, i can’t even name the times I’ve cried because everyone is better than me .
Its dumb, of course everyone is better than you if you still keep that mindset
Todays lesson? Ur better in your own way,even tho people make good and great things,doesn't mean you also need to be great as them,or be sad because you can't do something that well,all that matters is that your doing something you like,in your own way,without needing to prove anything to no one. The Blond boy knew that,everyone is *special* ,and you actually *can* do whatever you want if you focus on it enough. Doesn't mean it will be easy,but in the end it will be worth it,after all,the best part is the way,the challenges you faced and passed through.
this gives off “Do you draw because you’re talented? Or are you talented because you draw?” vibes ngl
Nah id draw
Nan, I'd still be a loser either way.
@@faikae nah il'll cut it in half... If you get what I said

Always bet on the austrian painter because he left it all behind and his overwelhming intensity
