I’d say that I relate to you struggling with art but honestly I just draw frogs when idk what I’m doing and instantly go YES THIS IS ART THIS IS WHAT IM DOING YES FROG
Pffffff this comment makes me laugh. I keep coming back to read it 😂😂😂
Lol I can relate to this on a spiritual level 😂
Are you sure those arnt just carlo dorian?😉
arvind shukla mayhaps,,,
Dorian Wytte literally so do i gahaha. i’ve drawn three frog portraits in the span of two days
The way you conceptualize these sorts of things is absolutely brilliant. The day I produce a finished piece at the level of your sketchbook work, I think I may cry. 😭😂
SAME
Maby watching some videos on color theory would help..
I recommend Marco bucci's channel, his content is very helpful!
@@Starlightbooper thanks! I'll definitely check it out 😁 (I actually wrote my final art theory paper yesterday 😂)
@@rabbitholeryn congrats!😄👍
Thank you for going through this 'ramble' as you call it. It's helpful, at least to me, to hear that someone who's art I quite love to look at, can so easily admit that sometimes things just aren't there in your head...that inspiration isn't always at hand. I, for one, feel that it not only makes you more 'human' (haha), but lets me feel less stressed when I just look at whatever I'm working on and having nothing to pull from.
Thank you for sharing with us so freely.
love how calm her voice is, and how she makes u feel like yr multiple ppl just hanging out/having fun at her place etc. kinda makes u feel a bit less lonely lol
so i guess thank u? ur genuinely such a sweet human being
I really loved that first gouache sketch! He reminded me of a Bacchus!! Especially with that dark purple background
I thought I was the only one !! 💞💞💞
I thought the same but dionysus lol 😂
This is a very comforting type of video. Love how casual the sketches are as well as your contemplation of making art. Really does feel like we are sitting in your studio with you.
Wow, I love that you can fill up a sketchbook so fast! It's taken me over a year for some of mine! Working towards filling them up a bit faster, though :D I loved the first painting you did, but I also really enjoyed seeing how you sketched out that last face whilst holding the pen as if it was a brush. That was oddly satisfying to watch. Congrats to the winners!
i actually finnished my first sketchbook in 2 months and my second in 3 weeks! I just started my 3rd
Me who hasnt drawn in her sketchbook for a month, and instead draws on my test papers 👁👄👁
I really loved the botanical aspect of these sketches! Whenever I just want to doodle or feel less sure of what to paint, plants always just show up in my art. (: Love these!
Also -- what colors would you recommend people to start with for these ShinHan paints?
im obsessed with the sketch
i love videos like this because this kind of workflow is what i love most in my own practice - exploring, playing, finding new solutions and new things i enjoy. and joy is just the most important thing to make good art imo
The way u paint is so pretty 😭😭😭
I absolutely appreciate how you share your thoughts and feelings, especially about the internet and online art as a whole. It’s super refreshing to find that level of honesty combined with such wonderful work. Thank you for sharing what you do!!
I watch this video a lot lately, as I’m experimenting with gouache and in my sketchbook, I’m not at home with gouache as much as I am with watercolor. I finally learned what water control I have with that and I’m producing some decent results and pieces. Why I want to play with gouache is beyond me! Lol!
I mean...these types of videos certainly don’t bother me...in fact I really like them. It was great just sitting down with a nice cup of tea to sketch and paint along with you! But of course you should do whatever brings you joy in your videos.
Have a relaxing day :) Sending positive energy your way! uwu
OwO
I'm definitely interested in the review! I just got my very first, very cheap set of gouache and I'm interested to know more about different brands and technique etc.
Same.
Wow. I’ve never related to an art youtuber like you. The part where you said you were in a satisfying place with your painting and then you got back into a sketching/comics to like idk do different stuff besides painting. Then you said you tried getting back into painting but the vibe wasn’t there and you’re lost with your art but at the same time you know you’re going to reconnect. I’m so glad a pro youtuber I watch goes through the same struggles as me, an amateur. I’m trying to paint and I really thought I was getting better, sure my stuff was crap but I was so proud. Then I really got into sketching, I wanted to be good at both. I liked sketching at first but then it’s like I just got in this big art block. I could sketch it’s just my vibe wasn’t the same. Nothing was coming out how I wanted it to, but slowly I got better and then I decided to paint since I was “healed”. After a long time of not painting it’s like I was back to square one, nothing came out like I envisioned. I just wanted to give up, but just as you said I still know I’m going to reconnect. You help me in these situations. You’re a really big inspiration. :)
Funny I’ve had my Miya Himi gouache out all day working on an owl painting In my sketchbook
it was a good ramble- and I think the lost feeling is totally in the water! It’s fun to see your explorations!
If you show the brushpen again in another video I can translate the chinese text for you! :)
I loved your rendering of the green haired person. I am so taken with the way a painting keeps changing as you progress. It gives me courage to just go with the flow. I also us3 gouache as I always paint in my sketchbooks and that paper usually doesn’t tolerate watercolour. I have books of good watercolour paper but somehow I don’t feel my art is good enough to put there. Silly, as only I see my art and I should be okay with that,but I guess it’s a human gene thing....but I love your courageousness.
Oh my god this video just gave me a peaceful feeling I really like it and I like your art as well 🌱🤍 maybe I found it peaceful because of your calm voice 🧘🏼♀️🤣
These types of videos are very interesting to me! I feel as if I'm learning something new about the facial anatomy. This is sooo good because it is something I've been struggling with an have been wanting to get a clear understanding of for quite some time now. Thank you arlee!!❤😌
I've been a downward spiral with art for a while now (health issues dont help with the creative process...) So I'm glad to always hear your rambling videos and seeing your processes gives me some hope of getting things on paper a bit more some day.
Your voice is just so relaxing to listen to and just the music and the art? Everything is just so tranquil
I feel like that pen you're using in the video is the brand Kuretake's Bimoji felt tip pen (Kuretake is a japanese brand with good ink pens and brushes etc.)
www.amazon.com/Kuretake-Bimoji-Calligraphy-Superfine-XT1-10S/dp/B00313J7J8
I was JUST about to ask what the brand was!! Thanks.
@@Kamoblue no worries, but if i were you I'd take it with a grain of salt because i am not entirely sure if it is the correct one. I assumed it is because i have one and the one In the video is similar to it
I feel the same way, it's so comforting to hear someone say these things out loud. Inspiring!
i love watching ur videos and just drawing and doing my own thing while listening to u talk. i can’t describe how soothing it is. so glad i found ur chanel💕
I LOVE your work, so hearing that even you struggle sometimes make me feel so much better about my own attempts!
Thank you for the rant I needed it. Don’t feel bad about being human, we all seek validation that we can probably give ourselves. because
We are only human:) so don’t stop talking about it because it’s a part of the process.
Shin han pass is my favourite gouache I've tried to date honestly (although I've only really tried daler rowney designers and arteza, which I much prefer to the daler rowney gouache). I feel like it is a bit more transparent, but I tend to use markers to do the base layer for a sketch so that when I use gouache I've already got the base tones and it feels less transparent! But, with it being a hybrid, when watered down it tends to feel a lot less 'cloudy' than other gouache, at least to me. So you could use it like watercolour!
It's always so nice hearing you talk and seeing you work!
your videos are so calming and inspirational you really made my day. I'm in a really stressful period of my life rn and I felt like loosing myself, but your video healed me in some kind of way. Thanks so much
These types of videos are really nice. It would also be cool to see the difference in this paint compare to watercolor and gouache. Just love your content.
I love hearing the way you talk about art. I find that I get impatient and end up drawing a lot of details before I even completely finishing the overall form. And I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one who feels at a loss as to what direction I want to take my art. I sometimes look at my art and feel as if it doesn't look like it's mine...? Like, I feel that if I were someone else looking at it, I wouldn't be able to tell my work apart from other artists. Overall, I enjoy listening to your thoughts on art. Including both the technical aspects and just your personal feelings about art. And I just wanna thank you again for the giveaway watercolors. I've been working with them a lot recently and find that it's a medium I can genuinely play around with and hopefully experiment with my art
your style is so mesmerizing, i cant take my eyes of the work. its so sensitive, nice. you re doing great job, never stop!
Yes please!! More sketchbook fun!!
I’ve been going through terrible artist’s block, stumbled upon your videos by accident. Thanks for inspiring me to open up my sketchbook!
I love your work! Just subscribed - can you provide information on the pen you are using for the ink sketches?
im sorry if this comes off as ignorant/annoying, but do you have any tips on how to paint darker skin tones?
What really stresses me out is trying to make a final painting. It's first a lot of effort to try and find the right high quality paper, having the right materials to do it with, and also the space and time for it. It's also the pressure of getting it to look perfect and professional to either sell or have in a portfolio. I always get intimidated by it because I'm clumsy and I'm scared of ruining it. That's why i have soo many experimental sketches instead of final pieces because I can do whatever I want with them without worrying. Sometimes, I prefer my messy rough pieces compared to my perfected paintings. So, there is not always an answer 😂
Loved the sketches and the paintings in this video! The paint was thick and the colors were more saturated than what you do usually, really liked your experimenting
Thank you for sharing your process and it's amazing to hear your thoughts as I've been lately in exact same situation, when I can't figure out what kind of art I want to make. The feeling of being lost and the pressure to keep up with other creative people can be so overwhelming.
snowmarite oh hey! I follow your Instagram! Your art is amazing! So soothing to watch. 😊
@@unityinvariety awhhhh thank you! ♥
Me: try’s to complete a sketch book in 1 yr.
Also me: still working on the sketchbook.
Ooooh I love all your shapes and brushstrokes! I've never ever tried gouache, but after watching a few of your videos, I'm very tempted to give it a go! Now the age-old question of which paints to buy...lol
yeez i finally find someone who understands my situation regarding art and being good enough. Thank you so much. By the way i love your art
I love the "let's work on the sketchbook" video idea. Most of the things I'm proud of working on started as going wild on my sketchbook, no pressure and having fun. So I love the idea of being a part of your process too and the things that come to mind while one works. So I for one would like to see more of it. The work was relaxed and fluid, just the way I work as well
i would really love a review on those gouache !!!
I really enjoyed this chill relaxed style video, I love watching you doodle not too seriously !! those two sketches at the end are my faves, would love to see more vids like this!!
Is that a Dorian sticker on your sketchbook?! 😍
Yes, it is!! A gift from my best friend :D
I think it's perfectly okay for you to be feeling lost artistically and to share that. I've been feeling that way myself for the past year or .... well it feels longer actually haha. It's hard knowing what to create and if its for you. I love aliens so does that mean i should paint alien portraits? I tried and learned it just wasnt for me. I like funny comics, should I make one? I tried.. again not for me. For me personally I just kept coming back to nature. So, I say, explore all the things you love or that you find interesting and keep sharing the process. :)
Beautiful painting! I usually am too lazy to watch process videos, but this one was so similar to my process that I enjoyed watching it so much :)
May I ask what kind of camera do you use? And do you use any additional lightning?
I have a daughter and she LOVES your videos sm. She makes art too and i am the only one in the family who really supports her. I listened to this video of yours and i absolutely get why she loves you❤
This is amazing!!! I would love to see a print of the finished gouache man! Or maybe an original on canvas!!!
what pen are you using for the sketching in the beginning?
Your art is amazing and beautiful...I just love sitting and doing art and not think about the process. Also you are the reason I bought the 60 color set of Arteza gouache and I can't wait to try them. I really love their half pan watercolors so hopefully these are good.
This was a great video to watch and to listen to. For me, when I reach a point where I don’t know why I’m making art, it usually signals that there will be a change of focus or style. Uncertainty can be a gift. It must be hard to live in UA-cam Land (UA-camlandia?). A lot of pressure. Wish you could take a sabbatical but I guess this is part of your livelihood.
I love the shinhan brand! their watercolors are absolutely divine. incredibly pigmented and almost opaque. i highly recommend their watercolors
Honestly, I relate so much about what you said, I clicked for the art, but what really got me was your insights... Hey thanks, you're not alone with the impostor syndrome, and the high expectations on yourself! ;)
I don't know why. but that last small sketch is just *chef's kiss* gorgeous! Maybe it's because of its simplicity? I just really love the starkness of the blues shadows against the paper white skin and orange background. I really enjoyed the video, as always!
When you say you're wondering what you want to create and lost. I suddenly feel like I'm not the only one having difficulty with it.
Lastly I've been exposed to good digital artist and also my friend is suggesting me to buy digital tool to draw and all. Because there's so many good artist and my art are not even that good. I've been thinking on why I'm even painting when I can't even create a good piece.
Then your video kinda...makes me thinks how taking a break from media would cool me down...
Anyways my comment doesn't make sense...but thanks! Tou kinda give me a reason to try more.
SHE HASA VOICE MADE FOR ASMR omg
I’m a newer artist. I join a art class and before I was actually wanting to be the best and I was very good in the 1st. But ppl that didn’t actually like doing art dropped and now my stuff isn’t as good as I thought it was compared to people on my “skill level” and I feel crappy.. I just keep pushing what im good at though I’m struggling with “from the mind” drawings
You are very insightful. And it really pushed me to go a bit introspective. Thank you.
I have the Mission White Class gouache/watercolour hybrid set and I kind of struggle with them. I honestly haven't used gouache much at all and am relatively new to watercolour, but I think I have a decent grasp of it. I recently got the Himi gouache and have been playing with those instead, like you mentioned in your video reviewing that set, I don't have to worry about wasting paint like with the white class as they were significantly more expensive, despite receiving them as a gift. I need to revisit them when I understand the medium better, and it excites me that I have them to "work up to" sort to speak.
i can see your top recommended pinterest ref
Wow, thank you for sharing such beautiful, deep words with us. Truly appreciated realness in this otherwise unreal world.
I believe the brand of your brush pen is Kuretake!
Oh yes, I totally relate when you say that doing so many portraits of the head alone is a risk because then when I try to do the all body I feel so lost among all those shapes! 😬 practice, practice!! 😄 and thank you for the beautiful video, your voice is so relaxing and same watching you painting 🌷
I like watching random sketches, even is they are not too successful, viewers will only see them for a brief moment and I know how we as artists tend to overanalize our drawings and sometimes we can be too harsh on our art. When viewers are going to be way more forgiving and they will also have a benefit of a fresh eye.
By the way! I would Love to see your review of Shinhan Pass paints. My sister recently ordered them from Jackson's too.
I know this was posted a while ago, but what kind of sketchbook are you using? I'm having some difficulties finding a sketchbook with the right paper to be able to handle gouache and alcohol markers.
Glad you found out about the ShinHan PASS paints they are fantastic and great price too! (at least where i live) Although have to warn you the light fastness in my experience is really really bad so definitely not something you would want to use for originals sale.
your videos are my favourite to draw to. I'm only drawing for fun and myself and your voice and your art and your thoughts always make me feel calm and relaxed!
I love this video and the raw feeling of creating and expressing that you exhibit. Also curious as to what kind of easel that is, that you're working with on the table?
Arleesha, I love your voice as much as I love Pick Up Limes and the content of both your channels does ne good.
Thank you, your thoughts really made me realise that my art identity is totally immersed in the realm of social media. I can't remember the last time I created art in my real world environment and had my art in an exhibition. I often feel like an imposter too. Wise words.
i can definitely understand and relate to all your worries on art itself. most of the times, i can say im pretty hard on myself when it comes to the process and outcome of my pieces. theres are times where i could just instantly lose my inspirations or will to draw because i am not satisfied with it and how im a completely perfectionist bc i have my own standards.
sorry for rambling too hahaha but it's my first time watching your video and i love it! i truly admire how you can freely sketch so well too!
Most of your drawings/paintings of faces seem to be expressing saddness to me.
It would be pretty cool to see a full body portrait in your style! maybe watercolor, maybe gouache? :D
Have you taken a figure drawing class? You have the hardest part down already.
I love these kinda sketchbook hangouts. They’re really fun and chill, and I love to paint along with your videos. Thanks for all your lovely videos!
I love your videos and your style. You're definitively an inspiration !
What brand of sketchbook is good for gouache and or watercolor practices?
I have been watching you recently and when i saw we had the same pencil case I went Boom. Love what you do and I have learnt a lot
trying, failing, and trying again. respect for you. :)
Ohhh pleeeease do some full body stuff. I bet they’ll be so expressive under your brush
A thing you can do to get art ideas is write a story. No one has to read it other than you so you can make it as sloppy as you want. Take that story and break it into images.
Loved the video and would love to see more sketchbook art type of videos :3 also Congratz to the winners 👏
That’s the kind of room I want to have 😊
I adore the way you capture such emotion and expression in you faces and I would love to see more of these sketchy paint along videos as I find them really calming to doodle along with much love xx 🍄🥔❤️😊
this kind of became my fav video to watch when im itred or exhausted
Did you use water to dilute the skin tone before you applied it? I have been looking for a paint that is thicker than watercolor, but is thin enough that you can still see the sketchy lines underneath... Beautiful work as always!
I came to this channel recently and i love your content . . also, love the dragon age stickers that I keep spotting!
At first I saw a pigeon, then I saw a human, then I saw an avatar.
At first I saw a pigeon, then I saw a human, then I saw an avatar.
Oh hey! That brush pen is a kuretake zig brushpen!
whats the brush pen you’re using in the beginning?
I think it’s the Kuretake Bimoji Brush Pen
god your voice is so relaxing i'm gonna sleep to it
I was planning to work with gouache, so glad to find your channel, new subscriber 🖐️🌹
I want that first painting on my wall idk y i like it so much
Oh my I genuinely love how that piece came out!! I'm currently trying to get more into gouache as well and you really gave me the motivation to do it :D also may I ask what pen you used in the very beginning of the video? I seriously love it!!
nvm its been clarified in the beginning *face palms * my bad haha
