For the series I'm planning, "Starting Out as an Artist", what topics would you guys like me cover? So far I'm thinking of talking about how to make prints, how to sell your work online, how to price your commissions and even things to help your work get exposure.
Do how u manage your shop from step to step or production of products~ I haven’t seen videos like such so it would be very helpful for people who want to open and manage their own shop but have no one to teach them.
making connections with other artists! especially when it comes to an online presence. in my experience, it's difficult reaching out to fellow creators through social media than when you are in the same classes/majors with them.
This is so incredibly helpful!! I was stumbling around squarespace for the first time today, and your info is so thorough and easy to understand. Very well done, Hieu ❤️
I follow you for ages on IG and just was too dumb to recognize you have a UA-cam channel. I just wanna say that you´re such an amazing artist and your work is incredible wonderful, you´re my biggest idol
Thank you for this video, I never knew which website to use to make an online portfolio for my work and I’ve watched so many videos with people suggesting other sites that looked too complex. I appreciate you going step by step on how to design your site.
Thank you so much for another inspiring video!! I'm an aspiring artist and I'm having trouble starting up... this video helped me see what more options I have... wish me luck! 💖
I think this is amazing and I’ll consider it for my future portfolio and am going to recommend for my friend~ Also a perfect place for a shop as well!😊
You are my all time favorite artist! Such great conposition in your work! Here's an idea: Starting out as an artist: how to make prints (printing process etc.)
Am I the only one that loves his voice? It's so soft XD Btw, I love these tips and information! I am currently thinking in starting to post my art more seriously online, but I'm little scared that some random people may steel it....However, I love these type of videos and they are a great help for people who are lost in this process of commercializing their own art. Awesome job!
There's a lot I honestly want to learn from you, because I also plan on selling artworks online (although honestly, being in college isn't allowing me to do everything that I want sadly). Could you include in your tutorial series how payment works online and how to work it out, and what is the most effective way in selling your works? Annnnd, tips on getting commissions? Thank you sm, watching your videos relieves my stress ahahaha
I’m so excited for the upcoming content! I’ve recently started to try taking my art seriously. It’s been difficult to get a following, specially for someone as terrified of social media like me. Also I want to start participating in cons. Im very scared of that because of my social anxiety... but let’s hope it works
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful! I've only recently been more serious about my art. I had always been pushed towards my science degree (I enjoy science too) but I still didn't want to leave my art behind and still have it as part of my life. I also have a business mentor to check up on me (honestly wouldn't meet my own deadlines without her!) and I'm still new to all this. It's confusing and hard to find directions. You've made it a lot easier.
Thank you for this video. I'm in the process of trying to decide between an established portfolio site or just making my own and I have no idea what I'm doing. This removed a bit of the crippling anxiety I'm feeling at the moment.
I love seeing some good art with some good web layouts LOL everything looks so stunning and organized; it's satisfying Quick thing: I was viewing your exhibitions, and there was a typo in 2019's. In "Haven Gallery & Modern Eden Gallery - Northport, NY, USA & San Farncisco, CA, USA," San Francisco is misspelled. Just thought you should know to fix it! On that topic, I would love to hear you talk more about how it's like having an exhibition! The hard work, how it came about, other obligations, etc! To me, it's an unfathomable and intimidating accomplishment, so hearing your experiences would be interesting and insightful. Thanks for making these videos. Although I've chosen a different path for now, they bring me a lot of joy and inspiration!
THANKYOU! I'll fix that typo hahahah... farncisco..... Seriously though, I love that topic! I'd definitely love to talk about exhibiting as it's something I'm still relatively new to and am only learning the ropes now!
LOL yeah you wouldn't want it mistaken with its twin farmcisco. Awesome! I wish you the best in navigating the scene and congrats on your first solo exhibition!
oh god, not san farmcisco!!! THANK YOU!! I'm surprised somebody actually even dug that far already... I haven't even announced it! It's still in the works and in its very early stages, but I'm very excited and I can't wait to get it out there.
Awesome to see how much you’ve grown. Can’t wait to actually use your website to actually buy one of your works (but mean while my bank account is crying) 😅
Amo o teu trabalho e sempre fico muito inspirada quando dou uma olhada nas tuas redes sociais, é tudo tão bom de se olhar haushs Eu pretendo me aprofundar nessas coisas de informações sobre minha arte, porque eu compartilho mas ainda é pouco, e as pessoas precisam de mais informações sobre, acho que a informação é a parte mais importante de ser um artista independente. Muito obrigada pelas dicas, love from Brazil 💚
Hi! I really love your tips! I have a question tho... do you have any tips on how to start and make a portfolio for applying to a University. And what are they looking for?
This is really great! I've been wanting to create my own art portfolio website for a while. Which plan did you choose for your site? I mainly want to show my artworks and maybe sell some prints and merch if I feel like it. Which do you recommend?
This was a very informative and fun video! I can't find the series though - was it never completed or is the playlist or whatever on a different platform? Thanks! :)
Could you please do a video on painting hair? As easy as it may seem, i really struggle with it and would appreciate if you did a tutorial :D Love your videos!💕
I'm considering a few different courses/degrees in animation but I wanted to hear what your experience has been like a rmit? Specifically the vibes of other students, I find that if majority of other students are lazy that can negatively affect me as I like the competitiveness of working with hard workers/talented people I guess. I've already got a degree in film & television so I kinda know what I'm looking for. I really like the sound of rmit but I'm from Sydney and idk if it'll be worth it to move to Melbourne haha. OH and also are the teachers genuinely passionate about what they're teaching? I've had some teachers that literally said, "I only care about getting paid", and they were really difficult to learn from. But I've had teachers that showed genuine passion for whatever they were teaching and it was great (Y).
Hey hieu, I'm an art student and I paint with oils. I know my work is good, but I have no idea how to get into galleries. Could you make a video about artists statements, resumes and propositions for shows?
Can someone help explain how square space works. I know it's not free but is it one payment or a continuous payment for however long you want your website
Cool tutorial, thanks! Just one thing: DPI/PPI has no meaning when it comes to digital presentation. 72 DPI means 72 dots will be printed per inch. In digital presentation (web design), what matters is the pixel dimensions and 72 x 72 pixels will still be 72 x 72 pixels no matter what the DPI is - it can be 72, and it can be 300 DPI. DPI matters only when printing.. the higher the DPI is, the more dots you'll have per inch (assuming the printer can get to that density of dots), the pixels will be smaller to get to your desire printing size and the quality will be better. For example: if you want to print a 5 x 5 inch print at 300 DPI, you'll need to use a file that is 1500 x 1500 pixels big (at least, compressing is easier then enlarging). Printing the same 1500 x 1500 pixel painting as a 10 x 10 inch print will produce a 150DPI print, meaning the dot will be bigger and more noticeable. Point being - there's no meaning for DPI in web design, just the pixel size :)
I notice that in you video about your sketchbook of 2016 you have something wrote next to the color you used What are those??? Pls answer 🙏 Big big fan 😍💟💟
what do you think of watermarking art even if it's for a portfolio? i have had people try to steal my art before and pass it off as their own. this has also never happened to me but i've seen a few artists who had their work stolen and then sold for profit :/ i guess a portfolio should look really professional and a watermark might ruin that but i can't help but be paranoid
It's a bit tricky, because you don't want your folio to look crappy. But I usually make my images compressed so that even with work stolen, not much can be done. i.e making them low dpi, limiting quality, sizing appropriately.
Maybe do a video on how to promote your art or shop without spaming or coming out as pretentious? I'm not sure if it's a good topic, but I've always had trouble with putting my work out there as well as a mentally of "why would anyone wanna pay for this?" It's probably just all in my head.
For the series I'm planning, "Starting Out as an Artist", what topics would you guys like me cover?
So far I'm thinking of talking about how to make prints, how to sell your work online, how to price your commissions and even things to help your work get exposure.
kelogsloops the comissions ones sounds really interesting
Yeah! It's one that took me a couple of years to get the hang of, but I think I've finally got a system!
Do how u manage your shop from step to step or production of products~ I haven’t seen videos like such so it would be very helpful for people who want to open and manage their own shop but have no one to teach them.
making connections with other artists! especially when it comes to an online presence. in my experience, it's difficult reaching out to fellow creators through social media than when you are in the same classes/majors with them.
tips for how to make your art into a business!
Thanks, that was really interesting x)
Laovaan woah another fav artist showed up
Can you do a video on how you photograph your work?? I've always found that difficult!🤞🏼
That's a great idea!!
I agree, this is one thing I definitely struggle with.
Yes! I've been taking photos of mine on my cell. And it never turns out right or just meh. It sucka
This is so incredibly helpful!! I was stumbling around squarespace for the first time today, and your info is so thorough and easy to understand. Very well done, Hieu ❤️
yaaas! Your gallery/portfolio looks great! Feel speechless. Btw, thank you for this positive energy which you'r providing in each video!
THANKYOUU! I'm still building it and trying to make it a bit more cleaner, but it's a work in progress!
You have such a bright smile! Keep it up, this was so helpful!

Thank you for this video, I never knew which website to use to make an online portfolio for my work and I’ve watched so many videos with people suggesting other sites that looked too complex. I appreciate you going step by step on how to design your site.
Perfect timing, I was already confused.
Thank you so much for another inspiring video!! I'm an aspiring artist and I'm having trouble starting up... this video helped me see what more options I have... wish me luck! 💖

Thanks so much; because of you, I now have a website!
Thank you for this video. I'm in the process of trying to decide between an established portfolio site or just making my own and I have no idea what I'm doing. This removed a bit of the crippling anxiety I'm feeling at the moment.

This is really helpful and detailed. Thank you
Your accent is amazing! 🙌 and a very helpful video too! So thanks for that!
Suuuper helpful, thanks man!

Thank you! This was so helpful 😭😘
Loved this

Awesome to see how much you’ve grown. Can’t wait to actually use your website to actually buy one of your works (but mean while my bank account is crying) 😅
I love your art and you so much so when I saw that you posted a video I screamed
Thanks for the video, Hieu! Super insightful ^o^

Thank you for this!!
Amo o teu trabalho e sempre fico muito inspirada quando dou uma olhada nas tuas redes sociais, é tudo tão bom de se olhar haushs Eu pretendo me aprofundar nessas coisas de informações sobre minha arte, porque eu compartilho mas ainda é pouco, e as pessoas precisam de mais informações sobre, acho que a informação é a parte mais importante de ser um artista independente. Muito obrigada pelas dicas, love from Brazil 💚
You are the sweetest person ever.
I love your art, thank you for inspiring me to start watercolors. May I ask what watercolor paper you use? Thank you! :)
Hi! I really love your tips! I have a question tho... do you have any tips on how to start and make a portfolio for applying to a University. And what are they looking for?
Beautiful website 😍
😍😍 very good video I loved it! : 3 greetings from Bolivia👋
This is really great! I've been wanting to create my own art portfolio website for a while. Which plan did you choose for your site? I mainly want to show my artworks and maybe sell some prints and merch if I feel like it. Which do you recommend?
This was a very informative and fun video! I can't find the series though - was it never completed or is the playlist or whatever on a different platform? Thanks! :)
U can slide into my dms any day
Also get a dog
i laughed way too hard hahahhaha
I like your editing mate as a result i subed also am a artist aswell still working on my original artwork though great video thanks
Awesome. Never thought about making a site. Would probably make a better idea than using my deviant art
Whem you made your portfolio the first time did you add all the stuff you made ranging from some of your older pieces as well as your newer pieces
Thanks for this video, I just wonder if you know if there is a posibility to have 2 different languages in their pages?
Would love a video about how to make and sell prints online!
He's so cute 😍
It’s like you knew we were watching your videos, wondering when you were going to post again.
I dont and have never tried drawing/painting. Just here for the smile 😁
Could you please do a video on painting hair? As easy as it may seem, i really struggle with it and would appreciate if you did a tutorial :D Love your videos!💕
Great Video! How much is square space?
How do you get such great quality in the scans or photos you take to upload online?
I have a question. Who is your favourite artist in realistic paintings are there any youtubers who got you inspired?
I'm considering a few different courses/degrees in animation but I wanted to hear what your experience has been like a rmit? Specifically the vibes of other students, I find that if majority of other students are lazy that can negatively affect me as I like the competitiveness of working with hard workers/talented people I guess. I've already got a degree in film & television so I kinda know what I'm looking for. I really like the sound of rmit but I'm from Sydney and idk if it'll be worth it to move to Melbourne haha.

I've had some teachers that literally said, "I only care about getting paid", and they were really difficult to learn from. But I've had teachers that showed genuine passion for whatever they were teaching and it was great (Y).
Yay!
Please do make the video on how to start out as an artist! It won't really helpful. Love your art 💖💖
Kelogsloops when will you make another vid about getting started as an artist online? Pls make the series like you said you would :)
