    I have the very bad habit of falling in love with my first sketch and end up making it a finished piece... which honestly most often than not it turns out great but I definitely throw away the oportunity of exploring multiple possibilities! Your sketches are all lovely

    • @ChrisHongArt
      @ChrisHongArt  29 днів тому +28

      You can always come back to those ideas even if you’ve already done a finished piece! So many fun ways to approach the same idea 🤩 but I wish I had your confidence to just bulldoze ahead with my initial sketch haha 🤠

      I feel you there and this gave me more insight to actually try out exploring the many options of an idea💡and to do multiple color studies bc I do color swatches but never actually did tumbnail color studies to see if I’ll like a different option 😅

    I really don’t see how sketches are “bad drawings”. Sketches are super important in the creative process for the final product that you want to create. Also, they look really good.

    I’m glad my graphic design teacher had us do at least 10 thumbnail sketches before moving on to the roughs, because I’d do a few thumbnails, go “eh I’m good I don’t need to do any more”, wait a bit, and then have more and usually better ideas later that I wouldn’t have gone with if we only had to do 3 thumbnails.

    Sketches are not bad drawings. They are so important for exploration, taking visual notes, and working out ideas.
    And referencing your own work is a great idea. You can build icons that you use in your work over in over.😊❤️

    • @ourabouras
      @ourabouras 28 днів тому +2

      Yeah I was watching Chris reiterate her idea and it dawned on me that she was gaining muscle memory in the pose so when she went to the final piece she’d be more confident with her lines.

    Extremely thankful that you made this vid! Your work has been an inspiration to me for the longest time, and I adore your artistic sensibilities and how prevalent they are even in the earliest stages of your works. Recently I’ve been feeling quite unsatisfied with the artwork I create and have taken the time to step back and and really analyze why, and have come to the conclusion that I don’t put enough time into planning out my paintings(I’m quite scatterbrained haha). Im majoring in the arts at FIU and I’m currently taking a painting class and decided it would be best going forward to really start planning out my works, so this video couldn’t have come at a better time! I think this video is one of the most important and valuable you’ve posted to your channel yet, keep being awesome!

    • @ChrisHongArt
      @ChrisHongArt  29 днів тому +2

      Aw I’m so glad you found it helpful, thank you for your comment! This one took me a long time to edit so it means a lot to me that the effort was worthwhile!🥺💖 everyone’s process is different and always evolving so just make sure you’re still having fun and it will guide the way 🫶

  • @MagdalenaMantler
    @MagdalenaMantler 25 днів тому +9

    OMG I just loved watching the whole process. All your sketches are so lovely. What I love about sketching is, that you always can come back to a sketch you made earlier (if it may be years even) and explore it again or make a full illustration of it. Thank you so much for showing your process, it is very inspirational.

  • @strawberrywolfcreatz5918
    @strawberrywolfcreatz5918 2 дні тому

    You could always do both and have the mindset that these are two poses from the same "photoshoot", if you will. I like doing that sometimes if I can't seem to choose and then I get all the compositions I like while also adding to my portfolio :D

    Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU CHRIS!! Since leaving my art school in 2020 I stopped making sketches in my visual arts diaries. All of that learning and training to get myself into the habit of making preliminary sketches went down the drain as I continued to draw only sketches that started and ended on one piece of paper. What I'm trying to say is, thank you for posting something that is going to help me kick that habit and go back to drawing preliminary sketches!! I needed this video more than you realised!

    i love the word " independent artist " . i usually say self taught artist ,,, but the word independent artist just have a huge power in it.. i will use this ,, mmmm , the thing is me, myself am not near any progress with my art,, i just draw good cause i am doing this for such a long time,, but i not skilled enough to do a proper fullbody .. very lame lol ,, but i really do love your video ,, the thinking you put in each illustration makes me wonder if i can do the same ,,, i realize the diffierce of being an artist as hobby vs being an artist as proffesional .. i really love love your art and your video ,,, i will try to improve ,i swear ,,, and one day i will show it to you ,,

      Independant artists are like self-employed. Means they do it as a job. Unless the term changed.

    Ever since I saw your first piece, the cover of tumble, I fell in love with your work! It’s absolutely amazing how much work you put into an illustration. Your illustrations have the same amount of detail and quality as digital renderings with traditional qualities, it’s really impressive. I always put on your videos in the background while I work on my own pieces and relate a lot about having an ugly stage in my illustrations. I love how honest you are about these types of struggles and it makes me feel better about myself!

    I really struggle with cleaning up my line work. All the overlapping lines in a sketch suggest features quite well, but then when I have to commit to definitive lines I struggle and it often loses the gesture or expression I was trying to capture - do you have any recommendations?
