      Its all in your head, your not an artist. Your living in a fantasy world created by the mainstream and UA-cam. All your paintings are for kids. You have a choice to make, you can recieve some proper art education or continue paintng like a child. If this is the path your taking, stick to Acrylic paint its cheaper and dries faster. Its getting really annoying seeing this crap recommended to me on UA-cam, whist i am trying to search for actual artists. UA-cam used to be a platform of decent information, not its all censoring and pumping garbage into the world.

    As an artist, I always start off with an idea in my head, start to Paint, and it never ends up how I pictured it in my brain. There’s never really a concept to begin with, but as I painted and finish it, the concept just reveals itself. Love your channel, and love your honesty 😊

      To be honest, I hate the painting and keep going until I love it. But what you said about knowing when to finish it. So true if you keep going you’ll end up ruining it, or hating it again and you don’t want to finish it.bloody hell. Love from Australia.

      I often start painting with just a hint of an idea. Trust me you can repaint the same canvas many times & still end up with something beautiful.
      I don't do this all the time...I usually start with a thumbnail. Then Black and white comp. Then a color comp & maybe a final comp...with this process it usually flows quite smoothly.

    I got CHILLS…it looks like a Chinese calligraphy painting come alive. It genuinely looks like the painting is moving within the frame that you created with the dragon’s bodies. Including the less rendered body of the dragon on the side is what gives it this sense of reanimating from 2d to 3d. And I love the blend of East Asian and Western influences. For example, asiatic dragons are usually more serpentine and western dragons look more like giant dinosaurs with wings. Including that was such a nice touch. And the music at the end 🙆 Epic.

    Thanks for pointing out that you don't need some huge emotional concept to produce a great painting. Some UA-cam artists just get sooo caught up in documenting their personal angsty art journey that even though they are great painters, I've ended up losing interest in their channels.
    It was nice to hear the message to just take an idea and see where it goes.
    I haven't painted in years, but really wanted to get back to it. However, I just had some fun little ideas without deep symbolism - So I figured it wasn't worthwhile and put off starting them. I'm going to try to get some done this year. Just to see where it goes.

    haha! Exactly 0:38 People forget...art serves as a tool for relaxation, creativity and just being passionate about creating something.
    Too many people 'imagine' there is always a hidden meaning or something behind it. A lot of my digital art pieces are just something
    I wanted to do and took all of a minute to decide on- the initial idea. As I work, the idea can take a different form as I cannot visualize,
    but usually I don't like thinking about some big piece of information behind a piece. I like your work. Well done.

    My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE painting!
    It is absolute PERFECTION!
    When I get to nearing the end of a painting I have to first, walk away.
    Leave it be for about a week or so.
    Turn the painting to the wall if you need to continue working, but a break is a good idea.
    After that, you WILL come back to it with fresh eyes. You may immediately see what needs to be done to finally sign the painting. Other times, you may have to try different views of the painting in order to see if something needs correcting (hue, value, chroma).
    After ALL THAT, comes my "WTF?" test.
    If you've done everything you needed to do, and you're still uncertain whether it's done, take a critical eye across your entire painting, and ask yourself if at any place you think "WTF?" I've found this to be rather effective, because it takes the emotion out of it.
    As we know, it's at this *fiddly* point where overworking might very well ruin it.
    FINALLY, after everything is DONE, sign it, put the brush down, and slowly back away.
    WELL DONE, Alpay!👏👏👏👏👏
