Decorating My Seed Box || Paint With Me
The low-pressure sketchbook thing is such a shout, when I started my second year of uni I used the moleskine I bought the year prior as my notebook for EVERYTHING, uni notes, diary, drawing, painting, anything I wanted and it meant that it was low pressure because nobody cares if that drawing of Gerard Way is bad when it’s next to a page of notes on Bronze Age pottery (Edit: that cloak is so cool wtf)
I love this so much!!!
those are really good tips! also i loved the dramatic intro 😆
This was great 🫶🏽💕 Thank you for the tips!
Great tips! Having a crappy little low stakes sketchbook for ideas saved my art honestly
Y'know, it says something about this video that when, after watching it, I pick up back into my thumbnails sketchbook, open up a comic script I've been struggling for a *literal year* with, and start sketching out the scene that has literally halted my progress for MONTHS. And after so long... things FINALLY make sense! Good to see you're back at it again homie!
This almost give me the same energy as your old videos from when you first started. I absolutely loved this video. Thank you for the lovely tips❤ I really needed this today
Ahh that's so great to hear!! Thank you so much ❤
It’s nice to see how the cloak fully looks!! I was kinda waiting on insta cause I was curious about the end product 🤣 and nice video! Definitely gonna refer to this next time I’m either bored or do got art block!
Thank you so much! The cloak technically still isn't finished yet (it's held together with pins for that one shot 😆) so I still intend to update everyone on instagram when it's finally done hahaha
Drawing odd things is what has often got me out of a few art blocks. One example is a carrot riding a unicorn with blades sticking out of it's feet and lazers shooting from it's eyes (if you know that reference, you know the reference 😉)
I believe it was from one of his Struggles of a Young Artist videos
Omg you've definitely been here a while if you remember that one! 😆
Love all of those (and I'm actually thinking about drawing that trinket you showed, it's so cute!), definitely saving them for later. Also, maybe it will also help someone: if sometimes, your artblock stems from just having too many ideas at once and being too precious with that one sketchbook you're working on- totally have multiple! It sounded weird to some people, but it's a really good boost to have various sketchbooks for various projects and ideas instead of being afraid some won't fit that particular book of yours. Currently working on black paper, A4 boi and a loose sketchbook that I'm not afraid to ruin; absolutely recommend it, because my artblock has been non-existent for a while lol.
That's a great tip! Multiple sketchbooks definitely helps to take the pressure off 🎨 And the lil trinket guy is by lily.vie on instagram! Their art is always so inspiring, I have so much of it bookmarked 😆
@@alieninabox Oh, thank you for telling me the artist, def gonna follow them, that lil' creature is so adorable 😭
dude i've been struggling a ton with art block recently, thank you for the tips!!!
That's alright! Hopefully they help 😊
!!! What a cool cloak!!!!!
Thank you so much! It's still a work in progress. There was a lot of pins holding it together for that shot 😆
@@alieninabox all great garments are barely held together 😂
I never say this but ….. first?? 👀
👀
Awesome
Thanks!
5:09 his tears look so good!
Past me was onto something! I haven’t been able to draw tears like that since 😆
I’ve been watching your videos since the like, very old childhood sketchbook tours. As a trans guy (still pre-everything, I love the UK), it’s been really, idk, relieving(?) to watch your journey in the snippets we get on youtube. It makes things feel doable. I’m gonna take this as my sign to paint some stuff and put your videos on in the background. Wishing you the best of luck with everything, and I am looking forward to any content you put out in the future.
That’s so great to hear! Thank you so much 🥹💕 I totally get what you mean about it being relieving in a sense. Watching trans creators on RUclips in my teens was a big part of the whole realisation for me 😆 Wishing you all the best! You’ve got this 💪🏳️⚧️
I’m going back to some of your old videos. I can see the root of your style (and interests) even way back when!
Ahh that’s so cool to hear!!
hello, aussie moron, long time no see, long ass comment warning, to match the time you've been away first of all, good to have news on your well-being, i keep up with your channel for over 5 years now, your videos about your original characters were always an inspo for me to develop more my own characters; about youtube, i share your feeling about having it as a hobby, although im not monetized, im an enthusiastic of the platform and i try to support and watch every artist favorite of mine, even tho PEOPLE DONT WANNA BE HERE ANYMORE???, if you need 4,000 hours I COULD GIVE YOU 2K!!!!! i'm also taking an online course, i get the feeling of HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS to leave home nowadays, like, how can we afford to live in this economy???? it sucks there were drama around you about that 🥲so sorry about them not crediting all the work you've put in. not being eligible?? makes no sense. about the A.I thing........ i live in brazil, and there were just a law project that basically says anyone could use your data (could be your photos or drawings THAT HAS NO COPYRIGHT AT ALL) in order to feed the database :)))))))))))))))))))) we got a break from this, but we still have an eye wide open on it. anyway, i hope now you feel fresh to make your own content as always, i miss your stuff, archie, your d&d exploration, anything you feel comfy with, i'd love to know what type of music are you into these days, anything works at this point 😭😭😭 tillt the next time, alien
Ahh thank you so much for your support all these years! I’m so glad my videos inspired you to make more characters 💕 Social media in general has changed so much in the 10 years I’ve been using it so I can see why a lot of people are leaving. But as long as I can still find the fun in it, I’ll be sticking around! And don’t even get me started on the whole A.I thing! The teacher I spoke about in the video always harped on about how you can trust adobe’s AI, so I felt pretty validated in my concerns when it came out that they were stealing art the whole time 😒 Apart from that I’m feeling super inspired to make videos at the moment. Even though the demonetisation thing is bad, it’s given me the kick up the butt I needed to actually start filming again!
well, time to rewatch your videos while crocheting!
Ahh thank youu! Happy crocheting
Oh no gotta go rewatch sketchbook tours what a shame (sarcasm, obviously).
Oh nooooo 😆
“Honey…. You’re not straight” 😂
The spooky music at the end really fit the vibe lmao
Hahaha yessss
what are your pronouns? /genq been watching you for years, and never properly knew how you address you! :D
If you check his channel, it says he/him :)
Thanks for asking! He/him or they is all good ❤
How she sait.. log time, log time.
He* he uses he/him pronouns :)
At work and I have finished playing, front to back, your sketchbook playlist. Hope this helps some. It's pretty wild how much your art has grown.
Omg thank you so much!!
Still charging away to give more precious hours. It's also occurred to me during these rewatches that your hoodie has been around a while lol. That's loyalty right there!
@@VinnieGer I’m surprised it hasn’t disintegrated by now 😭
Time to go on a rewatch spree fr🤞 works out since going out in 90+ degree Texan weather does not sound fun😔
Thank you so much!! I'll lend you some of our cool winter air ❄
6:15 so funny!
😂
I didn't even know YT has monetization rules like this, absolutely ridiculous - it feels like they're going out of their way to screw over small creators tbh. Also a teacher of a more or less creative work basically saying "nah, screw creative people, just use AI" is crazy 💀 Overall, sorry all of that happened, and I'm personally okay with you posting whenever. I think a video about your OCs' lore would be cool imo; or maybe something related to filling up a sketchbook and layouts to make cohesive and full pages? (I think most artists usually look for inspo that way, or at least I do lol)
I thought the same thing about how it screws over smaller creators!! And I love the sound of an oc lore or sketchbook layout video 👀
I will take this challenge to rewatch as many of your videos as I can 😤 Excited for new stuff from your though!!!
Ahh thank you so much! 🥹 Hopefully the older ones aren’t too cringe worthy hahaha
I’d love to see an update on this if you’ve continued playing! Especially on Maddock and his backstory!
7:49 can’t believe I forgot about the hemispheres lmao I thought the fire was just for ambiance
Hahaha it adds to the ✨drama✨
!!! That’s so cool that you took a film course! Sorry that it didn’t go how you anticipated. I’m glad you learned some lighting stuff though!
Ahh thank you!! Hopefully I can put it to good use
Don't worry for northern hemisphere, right now, it's almost summer and we're still on the end of winter-early spring in term of temperatures in France so.. 🤣
I'll lend you some of my toasty fire 😆
No cardboard box spaceship? Oh it’s serious serious. 👀
As serious as it gets around here 😆
Your art would taste crunchy, like candy dice. I love this journal
I just ordered the metallic the glitter and the regular..lol🎉😂
Oh this is so cool!
Omg I love this!
Thank you!
I’m a D&D fan but I’ve never found anyone to play with, love that your group is so cool! And I love the trans character as a FTM myself it makes me feel so increadly happy. Also this vid made me want to draw again since my break from uni lol gonna go back and watch all your other vids
Ahh I’m so happy to hear that! 💕🎨
came from your other video!! so interested in your dnd journal. i've been obsessed watching these kinds of vids!
Ahh thank you so much!
I love Maddox and how you put his journal together so yesss we would love to see more!
Thank you so much! I’m slowly but surely working on the next journal already 😆
Your art is like a dream 😍😍😍
Aww thank youuu ⛅️
Haha im new to dnd, my first dnd character is a half orc, named vira shes a bloodhunter and has the order of the lycan, she can also speak celestial haha 😅, its funny because we our entire compain is somehow tied to some form of god its great, or dm has plans for us and im scared 😅
Omg yess!! Its always scary not knowing what the DM is plotting, but it makes it so much fun trying to figure it all out as you play!
11:00 the down bad process has begun
This is such a good character journal. I love the art style of both the drawings and your pages.
Thank you so much!!
*Cutely waits for the next part to see where the campaign is now* For real though!! The campaign sounds so interesting aaand your character!! I’m currently working on my journal for my campaign, thanks for the inspiration :>
Ahh I’m so glad the video inspired you!!
Please do a video on how you made that dice tray pleeeeeease
