You're Not Bad at Art. You're Just Shopping Wrong

Описание: Today we’re talking about something that’s been creeping around the art world like a Romero extra: the idea that the more expensive your tools are, the more “real” your art becomes. Spoiler alert—it’s nonsense. And we all fall for it.

From art hauls to limited-edition supplies to perfectly staged beige-mom studios, social media has turned creativity into a shopping spree. But none of that fixes your insecurities or magically upgrades your skill. Dawn of the Dead nailed that truth decades ago: zombies wander the mall because they still think consuming will save them. A lot of artists are doing the same thing online now.

This video’s about breaking that cycle. About remembering why we make art in the first place, and how a chewed-up pencil can beat a $200 marker set any day of the week if the hand behind it shows up to work.

If that hits you in the chest a little—in a good way—stick around. And if you want to support the channel and get behind-the-scenes stuff, Discord access, sneak peeks, art critiques, and all that good mess, you can find me at patreon.com/matthenegarart.

Embrace the suck. Make bad art. And let’s stay human out here.
