Have you ever thought about selling your own art book? You are a huge inspiration for many artist and I would definitely buy it💖💖
yes I dream of being able to have an art book one day, actually it's something I'm thinking about a lot lately and actively pursuing! :)
Chris Hong Art It would be amazing!😊
@@ChrisHongArt 2 years later, your dream came true cause of the hard work you put in place. Congradulations are your hard work. Never forget to look back on how far you have come.
The anxiety you described is what all artists go through. It feels great to hear it rather than hearing "perfection" through working a piece. It is beautiful and you inspire me everyday.
The model is the cutest of the cutest! I love this portrait. I love how at the end you still see a bit of the first washes. The colours are 👌👌👌
I'm always happy when that happens, when bits of the initial washes of watercolour still shows through to the end ☺️🧡
I can definitely relate regarding not taking commissions. Lovely pupper painting.
It came out great! I know what you mean about charging fair prices for commissions. I struggle with the same issue. You don’t want to charge too much but then you want to charge what you are worth as well. The struggle is real!
Your customer loooks really happy :D
I love the turquoise undertone and the "true white" spot in his eye. Keep it up and thanks for sharing the process and your thoughts.
thanks so much for watching! 😚🧡
Your watercolour works are so impressive! The amount of realism in this piece.... wowwww I love how you create so much depth even in those dark areas like the nose and eyes, which can easily turn out so flat. I too love those turquoise accents you've added in! :)
thank you so much! 😘 I do think the bit of blues really help break up some of the warm colours! :D
I totally understand what you mean when you talk about puzzle pieces not quite fitting together. Can totally relate. Thank you for such an insightful video!
As a portrait artist myself I totally know where you're coming from! I was nodding and saying "YES!" the entire video. 😂 Nobody I talk to seems to understand the struggles of portrait work. They think it's just a super easy/fun hobby where you simply put brush to paper and magic happens, haha. But it's hard! Usually about halfway through I want to throw the portrait across the room...but I push through, and finally having something to be proud of once it's done makes it all worth it. Lol, until I realized I didn't charge enough for the time it took. I FEEL YOUR STRUGGLE. 😊💕
haha I'm glad you understand so well, Shay! 😘
I ADORE Claude’s face and how you chose the colors and soft moodiness!! Gorgeous work
I don't know if you're gonna read this, but I want to tell you how much I appreciate the hardwork you put in your channel. I've been watching you since the beggining and I can relate so much with your difficulties and struggles in a way that seeing you overcome all these obstacles makes me (and I don't think I'm alone here) so inspired to chase my own goals and become a better artist myself. I love to see you grow and I love to hear your stories but the best thing is to see the reality you bring to us, how hard it is, the emotions that come with it... You're a true inspiration for a lot of us out here so, again, thank you for taking the time to show us a little bit of your carreer as an artist so that we ourselves can be motivated to chase our own goals. Much love from Brazil ❤
I appreciate this comment so much Cecília! thank YOU for taking the time to watch and leave such a thoughtful comment, means a ton! ☺️🧡🧡🧡
@@ChrisHongArt Oh! You saw it ❤
I liked this video because it shows the struggle every one of us artist faces, whether we're amateur artists like myself or professional artists like you. We all struggle with self doubt but what you've shown us is if we push through the fear and not give up we are capable of producing something we are happy with or can be proud of. Thank you.
thanks for watching Christina! 🧡
I like This Video.
I couldn’t relate more to all of what you said here. So much truth, but the irony for me and my mom is, 90% if not more, of our commission work, are from pet portraits 😂
Maaaaan, I love this video! I definitely relate to so many of the things you said here. The "mushy stage" talk had me laughing a bit because I totally feel that. I’m so excited to hear that you’re feeling free and open to explore and create a structure for yourself. I adore the ways you use blues and greens in your paintings, my goodness. ❤️❤️
Thanks Arleesha!😘🧡 I guess the blues/greens tend to stand out a bit since I predominantly like to use the warm colours as the base :D happy to hear someone understands the mushy stage!
Sketches before a painting is always so great
These two doggies are so lucky!! They seem very sweet and friendly. My friend has a french bulldog as well and she is such a cutie, she loves to play and run everywhere on her short legs 💗 I love watching your preparations for the actual drawings!! I also find it very helpful to draw several sketches of one thing, because it helps pointing out details and characteristics we didn't see at the first glance.
Frenchies are too cute! Thanks for watching and for your comment! 😘
the anxiety as for not knowing what to do resonates a LOT with me lately 😭😭 the painting is beautiful! Definitely looks like a peaceful dog. I love watching your process from sketching to final ❤❤
Oh! The insight about watercolour looking mushy...yes! I need to let some more hard edges happen. Thanks for that, Chris! And I love your painting❣️
I absolutely adore how thisportrait came out!
Your control of the gauche and water is awe inspiring!!!
The animal description is amazing.
I think this portrait turned out great! Thank you for showing your initial sketch studies as part of the process.
I love how you captured those puppy dog eyes! Amazing painting
Its so nice to see videos behind the process of your paintings. It really makes me appreciate the art and the struggle behind it more than just seeing a photo of the finished product. Great work!
Im in love with your art and with your progress, this frenchie is super cute
Thank you for showing you total process. Helps out a lot
This is gorgeous!! And gives me so much help with light colored animals!
Chris Hong: *explaining everything*
Me: iT iS thE bEsT dRawInG oF pUppY in tHe wOrld
Everything you said was just so true. And watching this really helped me with how to approach pet portraits. I really enjoyed how you explained your process instead of just a speed drawing like every one else ways does.
I completely resonate with what Chris said during this project. I love this painting. I also love how candid this artist is with her inner-thoughts. This is very inspiring and freeing to listen to.
I love that you cover your preliminary sketches as well as the painting process. I also had a pet portrait commission two months ago and I wish mine turned out as well as yours.
I love your drawings. So fun. And your watercolors are great. Enjoy the three dimesional feel.
omg!! i've followed your art online for a while, but never came across your UA-cam channel until now! Thank you so much for taking us through your process, and for sharing your struggles. I've been going through a bad slump with my self-esteem in relation to my art, and watching videos of artists saying "just do it!! it's easy! everything will be fine! Look how well i'm doing!" honestly just made things worse (personally). So to hear an artist who I admired for so long sharing their own struggles, anxieties and self-doubt in their process really helps put things in perspective and is a great motivator. Thank you
Just the sketches alone were amazing!!
This process video was so mesmerizing. My second time watching it. So aspirational.
You do really great work Chris! Your portrait studies are fantastic and I learn so much from your thought process. Thanks for sharing your creativity. As for the cutie puppy, I'm so impress you brought out the depth sooo well. I was trying to picture myself in your shoes - at least at the beginning/middle stages and I probably would have given up when it was mushy. Now I know how to push through.
Ah what a cutie pie qwq
I love how you painted him ❤️
Love this. Your palette is truly stunning 👌🏼
anything u paint and draw, i love so much
this is so beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!
Love the pup painting honestly one of my favorite paintings you’ve done ❤️ def understood exactly what you meant by finding it harder to find shapes and feeling like it looks mostly like a mush , I believe def the human head as more planes so it’s easier to represent form and find shapes and I believe this issue comes more with watercolors than other mediums because of that fact that with watercolors you usually start light and build up layers to darken making the beginning stages look rough, as oppose to paint like oils you can start directly with a midtone or more commonly start with your darkest values and build up from there!
I love your art!! I'm not that good with drawing or painting yet but your work inspires me to do better! I would buy your art book in a heartbeat ❤️
I LOVE THIS PAINTING SO MUCH
I LOVEEE WATCHING YOU PAINT OH MY LORD
Sweet drawing! This lil dog looks cute :)
You sound like a lovely person ✨the sketches look soft and pretty 😇
awesome job - love doing commissions, it gives me a lot of joy! You explained the technique very well!
Thank you so much for sharing. I love your work
You are amazing!!! Loved the video!!!
Well done, Chris! You really captured the little guy’s sweet expression.
thank you! ☺️
Super beautiful painting 😍
Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to paint a horses face and it's so difficult, but watching how you painted the dogs face gave me an idea about how to paint the horse, thank you so so much for this!
I always love your videos!😍
Omg i was waiting for it since your facebook post ♥♥♥ Amazing see you working on this piece, cute puppie!! ♥
I just LOVE your use of color on white subjects so much!
Recently, I did a portrait of a white pit bull (Ivy) that passed away and should have used more color in the portrait, but did use watercolor around Ivy.
I love this so much!
I love the eyes so much! ❤
I love the paper you are using
Not only is the painting incredible.... but those nailssss 😍 Also coming into UA-cam to watch a watercolour video to then be surprised by your favourite artist uploading with perfect timing, now that’s a treat!!
aw hehe I'm glad you like the nails! 😜😜 they've become a little hobby for me lately :D can't wait to get better at doing them and acquire more products! 😁
I love ur art keep it up!
ahhhhhhhhh i love the end product so much
oh Lord your amazing!
beautiful work! i would love to see a video of the materials that you use.
Why did I think you were about so say "for his other girlfriend" 🙈
Awesome painting!
Same lol
May I ask how do you come up with ideas for your illustrations, then develop it and put a twist to it? It’s just so unique, pretty, and comforting like your style. I tend to get stuck for so long thinking of those ideas and how I can enhance them with twists for unique and “originality” factor that I end up wasting lots of time that can be used for doing the project instead :( 💕 Also!! I just want to say thank you very much :((( the past months I have been at my lowest, so the artist in me is also losing the motivation and interest to do art, but discovering amazing people’s art accounts here recently, you being the first one and the one whom I get a lot more drive from, i am slowly getting back on track, getting inspired and enjoy my craft little by little. i hope this goes on even when school starts already 😭 thank you so much for being there sml! I appreciate you and your art so much!! i hope everything goes well to you always 🥺💓
I'm always so surprised to hear my videos/work can have such an effect on some people, I'm really touched I was helpful to someone in any way! Actually, that's something I've been thinking about a lot lately, getting ideas for paintings! I used to have the hardest time trying to come up with things too, but I think it's TRYING to be "original" that makes it really difficult. I've been trying to take inspiration from my day to day life and it's given me a lot to work with, and also I try to draw/paint what I love, even if it's not "cool and original", and it's helped! So maybe stop trying to come up with the "best" idea, but something that excites you and makes you want to paint, because it's about something that makes you happy! :) hope that helps, keep fighting!💪🧡
I can feel your frustration while you're explaining your self😅 I'm a big fan of your work and its nice to know your explanations and what's going on the behind the piece💖
Wow! That’s adorable and i love it! ☺️❤️
Hi 👋🏻 God bless and keep safe.🙏🏻
Cute doggie❤️
WOW is so cute
Claude is such a cutie🥺 and also yes, have a resting face
Me encanta! Aprendo el estilo de dibujo y tambien el idioma! ❤✌
I LOVE IT
So nice
Excellent painting ✍️ 👍
New friend
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It will be very interesting to watch about your color palettes
I will hopefully one day talk about it, or at least the colours I use and why! ☺️
Chris Hong Art can’t wait!!
Nice
you should have a book! i really want a print or some merch but ill have to save up for some time lol
your words of support are more than enough! 😘 but yes one day I really do hope I can make a book! XD
😍
mind me asking but what is the pencil you use to sketch/draw with? it looks so lovely on paper
Think of a broken tennis ball for brachycephalic skull shape lol
No hablo ingles,y queria preguntar como se llama la pluma que utilizaste al principio 0:29
What kind of pencil did you use for this video?
The portrait is terrific! (What is the mechanical pencil you're using?)
Helloo, what mech pen are you using? :0
What pencil are you using?
What pencil do you use
You have a pretty voice)
Hey Chris :) Why do you use mechanical pencil? Are there some good things?
...
I like it because it's convenient! :)
I understand what you decribing at 14:36 and from a neurological perspective this seeing forms but not seeing the desired image is a result of the left hemisphere of your brain analyzing what you are doing in an attempt to verbalize the image to fit what it precieves as "dog".
The recognizing patterns in a form no matter how unfamiliar is a byproduct of your right hemisphere deconstructing the image to creat abtract visuals.
I turn the canvas upside when my left H gets too active so I can just paint.
Does anyone know what type of pencil she’s using and if so can you comment, thanks
it's the Staedtler "triples micro 0.5mm" :) I like it because it's longer than typical mechanical pencils and sits comfortably in my hand!
Hi Chris , for your brushes ....can you specify what type are they??? I tried to look at Curry's and I'm totally confused Haha. Thanks ! :)
Curry's is a local (Canadian) art store chain ^^ the brushes I use are currently all synthetic, and they are the "round" and "flat" shaped brushes. It doesn't really matter where your brushes come from, if they're pretty soft and if the bristles feel dense enough to hold water, it'll prob do the job! :)
@@ChrisHongArt Thanks a bunch! :D
When I first started to say to people that I'm making drawings one coworker ask me to pay her a realistic portrait and I'm like.... B I can't get a head to look (for my eye's) what makes you think that I can? I always say no to her.
has anyone ever said that she sounds like Zyra Bañez?
In my head i had him as Klod rather than Claude and felt bad once i realised😂😭 but at the same time,, he looks like a Klod ykno?
lmaooo I felt like I was saying it wrong too LOL I don't say it very elegantly haha
@@ChrisHongArt haha i cant believe u saw my comment!! But yea i dont think u said it wrong, im just not used to someone saying Claude in your accent maybe haha but regardless if him being Klod or Claud this video was so cool! Seeing the proccess from scratch to a final piece of a subject matter u dont regualrily tackle was awesome, i love when your notification for a new video pops up lol, keep making em♡♡
Charge your worth! They will keep this painting forever. It's worth the money
I hadn't anticipated spending twice the amount of time I thought I would spend on it 😂 maybe in the future I should always assume that might happen haha
@@ChrisHongArt that makes sense. I do hair for a living and struggle with under charging. Maybe think about an hourly rate for bigger pieces? That way your time is covered 😁 either way, you deserve to get paid
Better 1.25x speed
I thought the discussion here helpful. A bit circuitous, but that’s no detraction in this context.
Its ok drawing sketch & water color style...
Nice Draw.

They’re not just paying for your ‘special something’. They’re paying for the YEARS of effort and skill that have gone into ‘cute portrait’. Especially female artists need to stop lowballing their skills. I
