a cosy & autumnal sketchbook session. I light some candles and paint a fall sketchbook spread using HIMI gouache paint and then move onto an animal sketch using Faber Castell Polychromos. This is a relaxing ASMR & music draw with me (no talking) perfect for putting on in the background for some ambience & body doubling while you draw!

    Wow, I’m thrilled to have found your art considering you’re so new to UA-cam! Most artists I follow have been around here for years. Welcome! I’ve been enjoying your videos and I love your style - especially your latest of Emma. After listening to you during this video I felt compelled to tell you what I’ve learned from many years of being an aspiring artist and watching/listening to others - Draw what you love and the rest will follow. Like you, I adore Sonny Angels and have a small collection of my own. This strawberry Sonny Angel illustration is adorable, so don’t be so harsh on yourself about proportions, etc. There is a talented whimsy to your illustrations that make them so yummy. Plus, you have the great advantage that you have mastered Procreate, a process that is quite confusing for an oldie like me. Looking forward to see your next video.

    • @cosyartclub
      @cosyartclub 21 день тому

      thank you so much!! Usually I create a 10" x10" canvas, trace the outer edge to create a square and then adjust the canvas size to be a few cm larger to give myself a bleed area for printing. If you set it to 300DPI you should have around 50 layers to create with :)
