You seem to blame your lack of initiative in making art on the lack of inspiration. Inspiration is not something that the world owes you. As an artist, inspiration is a beautiful gift that’s (and I can not stress this enough) OCCASSIONALLY bestowed upon you. Should it not show up, an artist shows up for work anyway. You can only access creativity by showing up for your part of the work. It sounds like you want to take that next step, but rather than advising you to sign up or buy anything, I highly recommend just starting a habit of showing up for your art. Try starting small. Just sketching or doodling for 15 minutes each day is enough. Slowly build that up to one hour with the tools you enjoy the most. Whether or not you get into an art school, I think it's worth figuring out a way to enjoy making art every day. Even if the painting fails, can you find a way to make art that you’d enjoy anyway? Only then, after all those things, is it worth considering what kind of system could be beneficial for pushing you further in your creative journey. Having a healthy relationship with your art and the act of creating it will help you pursue whatever goal you want to pursue in the future.

Glad did that, that was always my goal with these streams. Not just to paint by myself but with the others engaging with creativity at the same time 💖🐻

I’m secretly bald underneath all this hair 🤫

@@angrymikko like an Eagle - I expect you to paint an Eagle next then thanks for the suggestion 👍

Regardless of the topic that's always how I wanted this channel to be like. I hope these don't prevent anyone from painting or drawing and instead serve as company and assistance while we work towards our creative goals. 🐻

Instead of being lured by the fancy sketchbooks maybe keeping an eye out for extremely cheap ones could be a good start. Extra points if the store’s discount sticker is still attached to the cover 😅

@@angrymikko Haha yes, I've thought about that too. 😂But I don't think it's because of the price or the cover. At least for me. There's something about new, untouched paper itself. All of the fears you mentioned apply to me. And there are even more. Maybe your suggestion to fill the first page as quickly as possible will work. I'll try that. Or maybe I should just start with the last page.^^

Pocket size gets the most use for me too. Somehow it feels way more casual than the fancy ones. Bear on the cover helps too 🐻

That’s a lot of sketchbooks! I sometimes have trouble just deciding which paints or pens to pack with me so having just one makes the carry weight much easier. (I often can’t decide on materials beforehand and frequently carry all my pens and paints at once [+ipad {+filming gear}])

These are poster colours from Nicker. They’re pretty much identical to gouache except they dry a bit faster.

@@angrymikko Thanks a lot! The illustration looks wonderful. I love the variety of greens you managed to archieve.

They’re not for everyone. The water does get separated after some time in the tube but that’s why I don’t like using my glass jar versions anymore. They also have a maximum amount of layers before the sticky effect kicks in. Hard papers have less absorbing surface which can make that limit come much earlier. Honestly if you like using any other gouache then go for it. Nicker ones are extremely expensive anyway.

there's something extra cozy about working with the mess of these paints.

@@angrymikko But you were in control ☺What kind of paint did you use? I tried acryl a couple of days ago and it looks awful. 🙈

Having a temporary mindset definitely helps with planning my paintings too. Often instead of sketchbooks I use post-it notes or whatever loose scraps of paper there might be nearby.

Thank you :)

I'd love that but I also need to keep an eye on the channel metrics. I hope there's an intersection between this and my audience that makes sense.

Nicker poster colours are expensive but they're not made out of magic. Good quality gouache set will get you same results. Nicker dries just a bit faster and it can be a lot harder to re-activate after it's dry so that adds up even more to its cost. Also good attitude about the torn page. You bought the book to use it! It's not sacred nor irreplaceable. 🐻

Thank you, this one is a bit different as digital paintings tend to be easier to make videos out of.

Colour theory is all you need for that. This location doesn’t exist.

Practicing shapes no matter how you do them is all about repetition. Everything I paint I’ve painted a hundred times in real life before they’re added to my visual library.

Yes, sounds like a loud heavy metal band. My first procreate piece was a piece of cake because I bought the ipad for myself as a bd gift.

I highly recommend doing these in the order of “Sky” THEN “Building” sky subject is used to teach all the fundamentals of digital painting from scratch. “Building” uses and expands on the techniques learned in the first course and they’re applied to more complex building project. To keep the information as easy as possible to implement the same lessons are not repeated in these two courses and the content was planned to teach digital painting from zero. Despite sky being the project topic in the first project it really is just a vehicle to teach composition and techniques for all kinds of art. This is clearly stated in several parts of the first project. The checklist method taught in “Sky” is referred to every time a composition problems are highlighted and fixed in “Building”. Hope that answers your question.

@@angrymikko I just bought the course and I'm trying to follow along but I feel lost. Where is the round plus brush? I think the second lesson is the block-in and I'm not even sure what I should be doing. whatever i'm doing isn't working to be as clouids. I'm not sure if this is how the course is or i'm the one who's missing something. Are the files you're working on during the tutorials available? As a beginner to this I'm not following through if it makes sesne. Can you give me some guidance please?

@Nihhuz Hey there. The brush is the first one in the Sky Master Brush set. You can find that download in the bottom of the course materials. I recommend using that for the block-in phase and if you’re having trouble between 2 & 3 I’ve included the entire process between them in “extra materials” where you can see the block in come together. Don’t worry about making mistakes in that part as the composition errors covered are meant to look for them after your block in is done. It’s important to not take that phase too seriously. Work at 100% opacity with as big of a brush you feel comfortable with. I didn’t edit out anything in the block-in bonus materials part because I wanted to show that I did 2 whole block-ins before I settled on the 3rd one. For colours you can use any of the palettes that come with the course but they can all be changed when you start “How to choose colours”. I hope this helps and if you have any questions let me know 🐻

This year this video has generated 7€ of profit, which after takes is 3rd of one day’s lunch for me. The ads are not placed by me they are automatically placed by RUclips for videos that have monetization turned on. I wish I could but currently it is not possible to make videos without the income from those ads. I understand how that might be really frustrating. Personally I pay for yt premium be a I don't have time to watch any ads ever and I use their music service + I often listen to videos or music with my phone locked. I understand your frustration with the amount of ads I just wanted to point out what the situation is like from the creator side of things. Just to make a single video like this is only possible because of thousands of euros I’ve invested in the hardware and software to reach this level. Many of those costs are subscriptions too. I wish yt was a bit more chill with the ads for non premium users but sadly I have absolutely no say in that process at all.

The second part with the colour exercise and free downloads to do it is already here : ruclips.net/video/xP0_DHZUkCY/видео.htmlsi=Po3aheS8qJiuPLdh

Happy to hear that! I’m so happy to finally be able to share it after working on it since last summer.
