    Thank you so so much to super Kevin for writing the spanish subtitles! We loooove you Keviin!
    All my music is from Epidemic Sound
    Camera
    all videos filmed until December 2019 were filmed with a Canon EOS m with a 22mm lens (REALLY recommend if you're starting out, although it doesn't have a manual focus mode, it's cheap and the quality is great)
    Now I'm using a Canon EOS M6 mark II with a 22mm lens
    I use DaVinci Resolve for editing!
    Things you don't know about this video: I've only swept my studio floors twice (in two years, oops) and my phone is FILLED with pictures of me posing hahaha

    There’s no way studio vlogs would ever bore us, but inspire and cheer us up 🥰

    These vlogs are inspiring. I've been wanting to start a UA-cam channel similar to this for a long time but have wondered, while I'm watching yours, who's gonna want to watch me draw and or talk about it. Then I wake up and realize I'm doing exactly that. Subscribing to great channels like yours. Haha. Thanks for sharing.

      Do you guys just literally start drawing? Don't you have to draw that Loomis head first then start drawing all those planes of the Asaro head. How come your drawings look normal and you don't draw any of those guides first? I'm still at the level of turning circles into spheres by the way. I just bought an XP pen and on their site people uploaded their art and they are all wonkey! All the faces are off! I even saw one artist who sells canvas for $2000 each and she can't draw face that aren't front on, the minute they turn the features become all wonky like the mouth is off to the side or the nose is facing forward while the rest of the face is turned slightly! It's scary!

    Fran, even though you can’t see us in your vlogs, we can see you, and I hope this doesn’t sound weird but I feel that whenever I watch your videos, it’s like an old friend catching me up on their life.
    I’m glad you share the good illustration days and the not so good ones because it is a completely normal and natural creative process, and reassures artists to keep going regardless of the tricky times.
    Your illustrations bring a lot of joy to many people. 😊

    I’ve always wanted to consider myself an illustrator but since I’m terrible at drawing from memory I simply thought I couldn’t draw. Then an instructor of mine encouraged the use of references and it turns out I can draw 🤣

    I did a whole graphic novel about baseball players. I took a photo of every single pose I didn't knew how to do (pretty much every one of them!) and thanks to that the story look amazing. But yes, for sure, those pics out of context are the weirdest hahaha
    Y me acabo de dar cuenta de que estoy escribiendo en ingles y que vos sos de chile, EN FIN. Un abrazo desde Argentina, Fran!

    @starb00ts 3 роки тому +22

    hi fran! first, i just want to say that you are absolutely magical and i love these videos very much!! 💖 now, i'm not entirely sure if this will help with perspective issues but it's helped me in the past when drawing on paper..
    but i suggest maybe taking a picture of the spread/page and then importing it onto your ipad and then open it in something like procreate. you can add perspective drawing guides to line up with other things (like the bed) if you need to! then you can use the lasso tool to select the area you want to change (like the boxes) and use the arrow menu next to it once it's selected to distort/warp your selection as needed to make it look right with the rest of the spread. it's fairly quick in comparison to erasing and getting frustrated (i know that feeling so well!!. you can use the edited version as either a guide to reference, or even maybe print it out and trace over it with a lightbox.
    i hope that made sense and maaaybe helped? but either way, know that you're not alone in these troubles. being an illustrator is hard! but you've got this. :)
