How the hell haven't you gone completely viral by now? Your art is impeccable, interesting and unique, you're a great teacher, you have a sexy accent and look like a model. Wtf? Based on the art alone you should be famous. I almost can't believe you're real.
Hhah Sunny! Thanks so much for the inspiring and motivational words! Hopefully this time next year i will be the male version of Zoella with make up haul and cupcake baking channel!! :) More coming soon! :) xx

Where have YOU been?! They got a shot for virals now! 🤣
@@LovellArt bros a living legend, BE MY TEACHER 😭♥️
Have you ever considered working as an artist in the gaming industry? You would fit perfectly for games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne.
Legit found this looking at dark souls lore videos couldn't agree more
Ive not even seen Dark souls! I must check it out!! :)
Thank you!!! When I was a teen I was sending off my art to companies, but to no avail. I had zero Software experience so it really held me back in that field. I'd like to do something at some point though. Conceptual work for games these days must be such a blast!!!
darthdude thanks for the advice, I can imagine it could be very draining. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I guess in my mind I picture a fantasy like scenario where are you in a dream office surrounded by this amazing atmosphere but I can imagine the reality is quite different!
Definitely need Pencil extender in your art gear. There's always that one special pencil stump you can't throw away.
I was in my absolute element seeing all your supplies, your studio looks amazing! Loved your description of how you draw too. I still have no idea how you do it, your work is just insane, I've honestly never seen anything like it before. Beautiful!
+Chloe Rose Thank you so much Chloe! Glad you liked! Hahah I loved unpacking and putting all my art goodies in order! Really appreciate your kind words! Hope you are doing amazingly and congrats on the 1k subs! :D x
+Christopher Lovell I bet!! Looking forward to seeing your studio tour 😁 hope you are doing well too and thank you again! Really kind of you X

Chloe, I LOVE your videos. I got so excited when I saw your comment!
Kind of like an artistic Thor..
Hhaahah thanks!

I've only started to draw seriously about 3 years ago. The nice thing about drawing is the more you do it, the better you become. It's a lifelong process of learning, observation and finding inspiration.
I can tell you Christopher, only by watching that video I'm already getting better lol:)
Thats great to hear! Keep at it! If its fun it never feels like practice and all of a sudden you are where you want to be! More coming soon :) x
you're not talented. talented is trying hard to be good at something. you're gifted. you're just naturally good at this. I love this soo much. keep up the good work
Thank you Trish! I’ve just always drawn since child hood. I can’t imagine a life where I wasn’t constantly creating stuff!
Hello! Its kinda weird as I always drew for pleasure and self expression. I just enjoyed it so much as a kid and never stopped!
***** think of it this way. There's kids who struggle to get straight A's and theres kids who always get straight A's easily. I'm referring to him as the second type. It seems like he's not stressing over it. My opinion.
I guess talent is a gift. Thanks bruh
"Your just naturally gifted" completely disavows the countless hours artists put into their craft. Anything you do on a daily basis will make you better at it. I have also been an illustrator and artist close to my whole life. Deliberate Practice makes you a great artist. Repetition makes you a great artist. If your born with anything, its the patience to keep up at something long enough to be proficient enough to then build off that initial success. You could absolutely learn to be an artist. Just know it will be a painful process but ultimately worth it. People who start young have that stubborn energy to keep at it. The older we get the quicker we want our work to "prove" it was worth our time away from kids, work and life in general. The fact remains with the proper training guide for deliberate practice and daily focused effort, you can make something creative that you are proud of. For example draw a flower everyday for 15 min. The end of the week you will be better at it. You will then hit a wall, THAT is the moment most stop. Watch some artists on UA-cam, get tips. Give it another week. In a month you will have something you can draw in your arsenal. Repeat. Dont be afraid to make absolute garbage. Every artist makes shit he wont show anyone. Keep it to yourself and keep at it. Its not magic, or god or a genetic lottery. Its hard work staring at the uncertainty of a blank page and getting good enough to wrestle it into something great. We are all born artists and creatives. Its so hard to hear people downplay their own possible talents when they look at art they appreciate. Its a new world online with endless free lessons and artist that would love to help you make something. Or inspire you to keep going at the very least. Sometimes that is enough. Thanks for your time.
That was absolutely mesmerizing to watch! :D
I am a sucker for stunningly detailed traditional art.
+Moosh Glad you liked it and thanks so much for watching!
Back in the day when I was in high school I was in love with dark art and enjoyed making pieces like this (never as amazing as yours of course), but every adult around me used to tell me that I would never become an artist drawing this. I began to draw cartoons and everything else that makes people approved and made them happy. I never became an artist. I have never been happy. For some reason watching you and looking at your amazing art has make me believe I should of never listen to them and I should of created what was in my heart. I'm 46 years old now and I wonder, is it too late? Thanks you so much for sharing. You are an amazing artist and a great inspiration. Thanks again.
Absolute pleasure to hear your thought process and see you work Chris. Excellent. Love your thoughts on the composition and details vs negative simplistic empty space for background to balance it out. Kudos. :)
+Krunoslav Stifter Great to hear you enjoyed it my friend! I mumble and talk so fast I worry if anyone can make any sense of what I say! Cheers!
+Christopher Lovell You know they say that humility is the embarrassment you feel when you tell people how good and wonderful you are. Hehe. One more reason for respect. Trust me you are good at this. I know you are busy and these take time, but if you want to post more we would be most welcome. :)
theres no words to describe how much i loved this.... is insaneeeeee!!!
Thank you so much!! :D
Beautiful art and beautiful man ! So happy I've found your content
pink butterfly thank you so much for the kind words! Sorry the videos have been slow coming, I’m now focusing hard on it and lots of content is coming very soon!!

I can't even begin to fathom your talent, and your style is amazing its hauntingly beautiful Which is something I adore. Can't wait to see more videos, you've inspired me to be a better artist keep up the incredible work x
Thanks so much Emma! More vids coming soon my friend , honoured to have been of inspiration to you
Beyond gorgeous. The level of detail is just breathtaking
Thank you :)
Chris I love your work and you have actually inspired me to challenge myself to work more with paper and pencil and more physical media rather than only working on digital pieces, thank you so much for the inspiration along with making these amazing videos and spreading your talent!
-Mike
+Mike C. Designs So great to read that Mike! Really appreciate the kind words. Would love to see your stuff :)
I subscribed a few weeks ago.. Sooo excited to see new videos from you. Pencil/pen artwork I favour alot. Learning alot from you. Keep up the awesome work!
+john laurenson Welcome my friend! That is great to hear! I plan on being very regular with videos now :)
I had to watch this video with a helmet so it wouldn't make a mess when you blew my MIND!!! haha awesome work, Christopher!!!
+Moses Lawson Hhahaha you legend!
Moses Lawson lol😂
Amazing...i draw this style with ballpoint, but now that i know about grey markers, i can shave of some of that tediousness. The detail is where its at man...and you do such amazing work!
Saw your shirt.... Automatically a huge fan!!!!!
Hahah thank you Amanda!!! :D
This is some of the best pencil art I've seen in a long time. You have a ton of patience to get in all that detail. Excellent work man!
Cheers Kevin! That means so much :)
Another awesome art video! I have trouble with actually finishing a lot of artwork sometimes as I'm always off creating other quick concepts....but this is spectacular and highly focused art....one day I'll get there...Cheers!
+WayneTully1 Thanks so much Wayne! I get like that also so I make a point of putting my signature on things to subconsciously make me feel like the image is finished. Other wise I just tweak and tweak and get fed up and bored with the piece.
When I saw this, I was like, "Where did you come from?" (in a good way, of course.)
This is truly inspiring. The details and the time you put into it, is truly magnificent.
Amazing piece of art.
I can't wait to watch more of your videos. You're truly an inspiration.
Really appreciate the kind words :) I am putting the finishing touches to a mammoth video atm. after this one I can be a lot more regular with updates. Been so hard multitasking everything!
Absolutely stunning work! Well done!
Labrini Galiandra thank you so much 🖤
Refreshing for me to see you use Basic paint. I feel cheap and novice using cheap paint, but seeing a master uses them makes me feel better. I can't afford all the good shit just yet. Love your work Chris, you're an inspiration.
Wow !......that was one piece of killer drawing you got there love it......great job man keep up your inspiration work.lm looking forward of your art work brother.
I am putting the finishing touches to a mammoth video atm. after this one I can be a lot more regular with updates. Been so hard multitasking everything! Thank you!!! x
Holy crap. One video watched and subbed immediately. That's a record for me.
We need Patreons like you guiding us through step by step with tutorials. I would pay a fortune to learn from you
Working on it! I am dropping a new vid on here very soon and I have some BIG news! Follow me on instagram and I'l be sharing news regarding teaching very soon xxx
Stuning work, I'm vry fan of your art and I share it to my friends. I like the fact that you can create awesomes textures with only several pens. And the details.... awesome as ever ! Thanks for sharing to us this cool moment when you start on a new white page :) (as on facebook (Lud Ivine) sorry for my english)
Woah this looks absolutely stunning!! Makes me wanna get back into drawing, I used to draw things like this but I haven't touched a piece of paper and a pencil in years because I'm afraid I might fuck up I guess..
Anyways, keep up the stunning work, you're hella talented!! xx
Thank you so much darling!! Glad you feel inspired! Pick up that pencil!! :D
ua-cam.com/video/7-qbMv4o7cI/v-deo.html
Found you while looking for inspiration for dark art. This is extraordinary!
The concept behind this piece is just amazing. Love the darkness towards it as well.
Thanks so much! Love doing stuff like this :)
You've made me look forward to re-organizing my studio! Thanks!
Hahah yay!! My work here is done! :)
how did I find this channel just yet? His drawings are awesome! His voice isn't annoying like some other youtubers have and he also looks like a piece of art himself! Subscribed in a second.
Hhahah thats good to hear! I dont like the sound of my own voice, I cringe when I hear it back! I’m glad its not so cringe for my viewers! :) Just posted another video! ! Its a big one! :)
In my thirty years of life, always a creative life, I never thought of just pencil art. I'm sick with pencil and then bam ruin it with coloring/painting it in. Loose all the perfect detail and shading I did with the pencil. Idk man u Inspired me to just try to finish the peice with only graphite(and grey scale markers and happens to be the only kind I have lol).. I'm excited. Thank you.
Jay geo thank you!! Yes I find it kinda hard to stick to only graphite on a drawing, I find the addition Of some light grey markers and fine liners can really bring an extra dynamic to pencil. Best of luck!! Ha ha and I also get what you mean about painting over lots of hard work I do that all the time! 🙈
I just discovered your channel and I have to say, you are fucking awesome mate. Truly appreciate the commentary and the analysis, really interesting and you've inspired me to experiment more with different media. Fantastic work!
Thanks so much my friend :) Great motivation for me to read that! :) I am putting the finishing touches to a mammoth video atm. after this one I can be a lot more regular with updates. Been so hard multitasking everything!
Love your work!! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and thought process. Extremely inspiring!!
+jeff balance Cheers Jeff! Glad you like!
2:33 I looove those fabercastells! It's cool that you use a large variety of supplies. I'm the same way but don't see as many 'tubers who do. Most are painters or digital or primarily use copic markers, not that there is anything wrong with that, I just like finding youtubers who fit my niche.
3:56 Thanks for the heads up on the white paint marker.
5:22 I 100% agree with that, I like my blacks to have a range of darkness.
12:00 and it starts to come together! My favorite part!
It really is a lovely piece, and I like hearing you share small details about the character and your thought process behind the piece. 10 hours?! What! Wow by the way!
Thank you so much!! Glad you lied the vid!! I am putting the finishing touches to a mammoth video atm. after this one I can be a lot more regular with updates. Been so hard multitasking everything!
All I have to say, is Really hot guy, and extremely talented!
Jordan Barnett exactly my thoughts 😂
Hahaha cheers my friend! :)
ua-cam.com/video/7-qbMv4o7cI/v-deo.html
This is bloody amazing! Loved all the details & of course the end result. 😍👍
yes, yes, Graphik pens. love those.love your work, man.
So detailed! But ultimately I subscribed as soon as I saw the cat. Beautiful work!
Hhaahah thats ‘Baby Pandy’ the cheekiest of cats!!!
I greatly admire your work, and inspires me to draw well and improve every day , every detail of your work is amazing , I hope someday make great artwork as yours .
+Obed “MADNESS” Pérez vega Wow thank you so much Obed! Means loads to read that!
You got yourself a new subscriber. As an artist, I really look up to you. Great job!
Yay! Welcome and thank you!!
This was the first video of yours that I stumbled across and I am at awe with your talent! Your video was very inspirational and helpful, too! Keep up the brilliant work! Subscribed :)
Hello Shannon!! Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the sub! More vids coming soon :)
You're so freakin' amazing Christopher, I've just discovered your Instagram accound and you've blown my mind ! What a talent ! I'll like to be as much talented as you.
Thank you so much
Love your discussion over the top of this. It was very helpful.
...I'm fricking speachless... I love it... I love you... It's amazinger than amazing... wow...
Too kind! Thanks so much :)
1. Awesome artwork. Very cool. Fun to see you play with all the various mediums.
2. My favorite part was the chains under the mouth. After doing all the details, I think you went over it with a mid tone pen to recess it. very cool.
3. One thing missing was like shadows from all the different items on top of eachother.. like the bird, the staff.. in the end, I noticed it looked like there should be shadows or something. I don't think it mattered much though, because the image is so overall mystical and cool.
--have you ever checked out Bernie Wrightson's art?
moonblink thanks buddy! Glad you liked it! It's funny that you say that about the shadows, I have only just noticed that now you've mentioned it. I just didn't think about doing it at the time I guess. sometimes that's the risk when drawing without any references for lighting etc. New video coming in the next few days!! And nO I haven't heard of him, I'll give him a Google :)
The background smudge really made a difference - awesome.
You so much! I’m revamping this channel very soon with a load of fresh new content so please stick around! 😊🌹
@@LovellArt I just subscribed. 👍😁 Going to find your website next.
Loving this, and the detail. I too try and not draw/paint too much detail/realism, but have only recently realised, that that is my natural style, so why try to draw 'loosely'? It feels so nice to embrace it, rather than fight it.
I totally know what you mean. I try to stay loose, but If something doesn't please my eye I listen to my self and see if a bit of realism helps. Its hard finding a balance! I try and keep backgrounds scrappy and textured so I can feel spontaneous!
That's fantastic: rich and detailed, great design work, and nice use of pure blacks. One small issue would be the shoulder area: the way you have used the backlight line makes it look a bit flat. I would suggest to make the lighting thicker at the curve part of the shoulder. Other than that top notch!
i am fall in love !!! you art is amazing , woow i love the dark art , the skulls
Thanks so much! :) xx
I knew I had to write a comment when you basicly told "I need to focus on simplicity instead of lots of details" haha! I Personally struggle to bring all the detail-work in my art, I'm more of a "clean and modern" type of artist, so following you on instagram and YT inspires me and teaches me to force myself into something different. You also helped me alot wih art supplies! You should definetly make a studio tour in the future.
+Anastasia Swarts Hello Anastasia! Thats so great to hear, glad you enjoyed the video and took something from it. I love trying out new art supplies! Studio tour vid coming very soon! x
Dude, You're Awesome. i love watching the vid. nice job
james bayliss thanks buddy! New process vid coming very soon!!
thanks chris...i just ordered the uniposca pens ...2 black ...2 white ...1 silver...fine point...yay...
Hey Debby!! Thats awesome! Hope you are enjoying working with them :) xx
Amazing art man, the level and the quality of detail is just over the top... Loved it!
Thats great to hear! More coming soon :) x
Majestic 💀 Please continue in the dark arts 💀
Red Sol I am very much my friend! Got lots coming! 🤗
I am totally blown away! Do you have a professional company scan your originals for printing? I could only dream of having such talent. So freaking cool!
Thank you so much! This one was small enough for me to scan in and adjust/put together in photoshop. Larger paintings I have a professional take a very large long exposure photograph. Its crazy how the photo is just as good as a scan, you can zoom in for ages!
Oh my goodness! Incredible work!
a fantastic masterpiece! i love the attention to detail (especially on her staff)
Thank you my friend! :)
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Would u mind explaining how u manage to come up with these compositions & how u plan them out? I gave up on drawing because all I could do was draw other people’s work without making something unique for myself and it really got me down..
iwatchyoutube thank you so much for the kind words! Hmmm it’s kinda a weird process. I start with an idea or rough guide sketch usually and I just build on the idea as I go. I’ve been doing it so long now my brain is constantly full of ideas. I have inspiration folders filled with thousands of images I’ve collected over the years which I sometimes glance at when I’m working on something as that can jig ideas and keep me spontaneous!
thank u so much
This is an artist's dream room😍😍😍
Hahahah it is! :D
AMAZING artwork ! I love the details and shadow/highligts.
keep up the great wort !!
Thank you so much darling!!
This is the type of art I strive to make, but I can never get adequate inspiration to finish! How do you decide what to put in the composition? Like poses and the type of view, such as close up of the head, the full body, etc? Any help you can give would be appreciated! Your art is just...wow! It's amazing! You are so talented!
Thanks so much for the lovely kind words!! Its really hard to explain where it comes from as it just comes so naturally to me. I just get more and more ideas as the image progresses and just try to shape things so they work :) Hopefully I can get some vids up soon that explain things better! :) x
Thanks for getting back to me and I look forward to seeing more videos and art from you! Also, you're welcome. :)
same in my mind
I am very sorry but you just cannot say "it's hard to explain where it comes from"! You do know where it comes from! If you really don't, well just pray for your soul before it's too late... All the signals coming along with this image speak for themselves... static1.squarespace.com/static/55689be1e4b009fd99eb0b76/55f41f13e4b0945ca58b9567/55f41f38e4b0945ca58b95c2/1442062136357/christopher_lovell_artist+copy.jpg
this is so beautiful, so inspiring. I'd love that framed in my room ...
Thank you so much! Glad you like it :)
Outstanding bro..talk about next level, I would love to be able to draw like you one day, guess I'll dust off my pencils and get started..
You are amazing! I feel so inspired by this and my fingers are itching. The problem with me is that I have so much in my head I rarely do detailed pieces because of that and I can get easily borred or quit in the middle of it when it gets too many details because I am overthinking. It sucks because I love to draw but I have such problem with all kinds of techniques...
Wow this guy is a beast I'm so inspired now to take my art deeper and bigger. this is just WOW!
Thank you marco!! :)
Your Welcome. Much Respect.
Far out you're talented, I hope you make more videos like this in the future...mind blowing skill
The shadings are perfect and too detailed, thats cool
Omg wow this is stunning, someone put this in a museum :O
You are too kind :) x
hey Christopher, I love your videos. I discovered your art a few years ago on emptees and I'm so grateful that you share your process and knowledge like this. Would you consider making a video about digitalizing your artworks? I having a hard time with this, taking a good photo or even scanning doesn't seem to work as good as I'd like it to.
Thanks so much! More vids coming soon my friend, I’ll try and cove that topic asap! :) x
fabulous art man, what i would someday aspire to. Respect.
Thanks so much for the kind words :)
Wow, loving how you store everyting, so tidy!! Really interesting to watch this, so much detail O___O
Thanks so much! Hhaah I make a big mess a lot of the tim though! More vids coming soon my friend :) x
Hahaha! Looking forward to checking them out ^_^
Mind blown I'm just lost for words, ugh I'd sell my soul to have that talent. If you have any references on how I can get to this level of god like talent please tell me!
Nevexi Poundstone Thank you so much darling! I have a new very in-depth video coming very soon!! Full painting process!! 🤗🖤
That's great I'm very excited! I hope you don't mind that I sent you a message on Instagram I don't know if my art ever went through on the message. I'm looking forward to the new videos!
That was awesome to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!! Just posted another video! ! Its a big one! :)
beyond amazing, and absolutely breath taking (:
+Chasati Lane Thank you so much!! :) x
Your very welcome, luv (: Lookin forward to seeing more! 《3
Subscribed. Your art is right up my street. Wow.
Thank you! :)
Great video, very inspiring! I never thought of combining black pen with graphite before, something I'll definitely try with my own work as it looks great.
I love using black as a way to create stronger shadows and dynamics :) give it a go!
Please do more of these videos! Absolutely love this!
First of all that is awesome work! Also thankyou for showing what pens you use this helped a lot. Looks like a shopping trip for me :)
Glad it could be of help! :)
the details on your works are insane! love it!
Thanks so much! More coming soon! :)
You are one of the best, if not the best artist i've ever seen :o Such a beautiful drawing!
Thank you so much lovely :) x
I have about four different attempts at this particular drawing. All at different stages of completion from when I started practicing art. There's one that has potential so I think I'll make something out of it eventually. Cheers man🍻
Amazing work 🖤 do you use reference for things like the skull and the magpie? Really fabulous 👍🏻
U deserve way more .. Ur so good at drawing
Thats great to hear! More coming soon :) x
Amazing video Chris! Cant wait for your next video, was wondering if you could let us know when you will open the shop again? Thanks
+Cypnick Thanks so much! I am aiming to have the store open asap this coming week with 2 - 3 new added prints including this one :)
+Christopher Lovell thanks a lot!
This was absolutely beautiful..
New to your channel You are a Master Please keep up your work I love your passion
You are truly a Master at what you do art !!!!! i draw i was born with the gift i also pay attention to details that's what makes the drawing look real fantasy drawing is one of my favorite my imagination is free put anything together practice is everything i was wondering can you draw a death knight with his skull hooded over . Thank you for sharing ideas
He's now my favourite artist ever
Thank you so much! :D
this looks craazy good!
Thank you darling! :)
This is inspiring your so good .. wish I had half the talent you have !!
I drew predator for Deviant Art .. (chef1847) took me about 4 days thought it looked good until I saw your speed drawing of predator lol
Dude stop. Your art is as amazing as Chris'. Worst thing an artist could do is bring themselves down by thinking that others are better.
La Bartholomeow wow man thanx so much ! What a cool thing to say and yes your right il stop the hate and appreciate ☺😊 thanx again! !
Awesome! I’ll look you up :)
Very true! Anything someone creates is awesome! :)
I have a question. How do you manage not to burn out? As an artist I am constantly experiencing burn out. Do you have any tips for reducing the chance of this occurring? P. S your art is so God damn breathtaking and powerful❤️❤️an absolute gift to the world x
It's amazing... great job really just wow
+Ivan Jovanovic Cheers Ivan!
increíble tu trabajo, lo admiro mucho.
Awesome work. Great video. 🖤
i would want you to design my first tatoo
