1 00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:06,209 so hey everyone making this Q&A video I 2 00:00:03,388 --> 00:00:08,869 said I would make one and I'm sort of 3 00:00:06,209 --> 00:00:12,120 struggling to record this thing because 4 00:00:08,869 --> 00:00:15,298 I'm so self-conscious of the way I talk 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:18,239 so I'm sort of stopping this recording 6 00:00:15,298 --> 00:00:20,759 and starting over again over and over I 7 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,640 figure I might as well just go for it 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:27,449 and if the rambling gets too out of hand 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,880 and I stutter too much or you know I 10 00:00:27,449 --> 00:00:32,669 twist my tongue you just have to bear 11 00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:36,210 with it so yeah okay so what have I been 12 00:00:32,668 --> 00:00:38,878 up to and why have I not posted that 13 00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:41,189 much on tumblr recently so I have been 14 00:00:38,878 --> 00:00:43,949 drawing a lot and you are sort of seeing 15 00:00:41,189 --> 00:00:46,320 me post things now recently because I 16 00:00:43,950 --> 00:00:48,780 have this big backlog of art what 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:51,119 happened was I started drawing things 18 00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:53,640 that I wanted to use as stickers and 19 00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:57,479 then I didn't want to upload anything 20 00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,570 until like my store was set up so I just 21 00:00:57,479 --> 00:01:03,000 kept putting it off until my everything 22 00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:06,379 was set up basically it took me a long 23 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,728 time but yeah all right more questions 24 00:01:06,379 --> 00:01:10,438 how long have I been drawing and what 25 00:01:08,728 --> 00:01:13,260 got me into drawing in the first place 26 00:01:10,438 --> 00:01:14,899 and what keeps me motivated here's a 27 00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:18,990 question about if there was a special 28 00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:21,630 moment or artists work that got me into 29 00:01:18,989 --> 00:01:26,188 drawing and what are some early 30 00:01:21,629 --> 00:01:31,530 inspirations basically so for me it was 31 00:01:26,188 --> 00:01:33,658 when I was 15 or 16 this was in 2009 one 32 00:01:31,530 --> 00:01:36,509 of my friends in my class he got really 33 00:01:33,659 --> 00:01:40,820 really into Naruto and animes and he 34 00:01:36,509 --> 00:01:43,489 didn't have anyone to talk to about so 35 00:01:40,819 --> 00:01:47,099 one day when I was at his place he 36 00:01:43,489 --> 00:01:49,109 decided to show me some Naruto to try 37 00:01:47,099 --> 00:01:53,179 and get me hooked on it and he showed me 38 00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:57,509 the fight with Rock Lee and Gaara 39 00:01:53,180 --> 00:02:00,570 in the shooting shooting exam it's this 40 00:01:57,509 --> 00:02:03,629 big fight and to me that was just 41 00:02:00,569 --> 00:02:05,849 mind-blowing because not even having 42 00:02:03,629 --> 00:02:08,549 seen you know DBC growing up being 43 00:02:05,849 --> 00:02:11,400 completely fresh to like shown an anime 44 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:13,280 it was just the coolest thing ever like 45 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,799 him dropping the way 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,218 and being like fast and just you know 47 00:02:15,799 --> 00:02:21,879 goofing around like a DBZ style and it 48 00:02:19,218 --> 00:02:25,430 was also pretty violent back then by 49 00:02:21,878 --> 00:02:28,009 never having seen anime before really 50 00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:31,099 except we were Pokemon and Sailor Moon 51 00:02:28,009 --> 00:02:33,949 just see blood in like a cartoon like 52 00:02:31,098 --> 00:02:35,688 that like when they Rock Lee he gets 53 00:02:33,949 --> 00:02:38,869 like his arm crushed at the end or 54 00:02:35,688 --> 00:02:41,568 whatever and just seeing that was he was 55 00:02:38,870 --> 00:02:43,340 so crazy to me and it really inspired me 56 00:02:41,568 --> 00:02:47,780 to see that those characters in seeing 57 00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:50,090 you know basically a cartoon made for 58 00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:53,359 you and you know Naruto is really for 59 00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:55,400 that sort of age you know 15 16 where 60 00:02:53,359 --> 00:02:59,030 you know you are into violence and all 61 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:01,039 that so me already sort of being a fan 62 00:02:59,030 --> 00:03:04,400 of drawing in art because I was always 63 00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:07,188 drawing growing up it just really put 64 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:11,030 this big drive in me to try and improve 65 00:03:07,188 --> 00:03:13,430 my art prior to that I had never really 66 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:15,859 tried to get better at drawing at all I 67 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:17,689 was always like doodling when I was 68 00:03:15,859 --> 00:03:20,719 playing like a game or whatever and I 69 00:03:17,689 --> 00:03:23,329 remember I used to draw ratchet from 70 00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:27,199 Ratchet and Clank and I would draw slide 71 00:03:23,329 --> 00:03:29,900 from Sly Cooper furries I would also 72 00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:30,919 before that I like to draw a link lot 73 00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,289 and the Sora 74 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:37,010 I thought the Sora's were really really 75 00:03:33,289 --> 00:03:38,509 cool I guess it was really in Naruto my 76 00:03:37,009 --> 00:03:41,598 friend pushing me to watch some anime 77 00:03:38,509 --> 00:03:44,810 that really got me going it made me want 78 00:03:41,598 --> 00:03:48,560 to improve so I would say 2009 is where 79 00:03:44,810 --> 00:03:50,810 art went from just being like you know a 80 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,628 time waster because I would always draw 81 00:03:50,810 --> 00:03:55,930 like in class just doodle on the side 82 00:03:52,628 --> 00:03:58,848 but I never tried to get better until 83 00:03:55,930 --> 00:04:02,510 2009 and then I really started trying to 84 00:03:58,848 --> 00:04:04,219 you know push myself more I still played 85 00:04:02,509 --> 00:04:06,168 a lot of games though like I played the 86 00:04:04,219 --> 00:04:09,318 World of Warcraft religiously back then 87 00:04:06,169 --> 00:04:12,109 even if I was really bad at it but I 88 00:04:09,318 --> 00:04:15,228 stopped that in like 2011 I stopped 89 00:04:12,109 --> 00:04:17,209 playing games on the same scale and I 90 00:04:15,229 --> 00:04:20,658 just started drawing basically all the 91 00:04:17,209 --> 00:04:24,348 time and that was really good for me as 92 00:04:20,658 --> 00:04:25,930 like an artist in 2011 as far as early 93 00:04:24,348 --> 00:04:27,939 artists go 94 00:04:25,930 --> 00:04:30,009 I would say you know I used to watch a 95 00:04:27,939 --> 00:04:33,969 lot of like Mark Crilley tutorials back 96 00:04:30,009 --> 00:04:35,530 in 2009 I would say that everything was 97 00:04:33,970 --> 00:04:39,100 really inspiring to me 98 00:04:35,529 --> 00:04:41,978 in like 2009 on YouTube you know even 99 00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:44,710 like kind of shitty speedpaints I 100 00:04:41,978 --> 00:04:46,839 thought that that was so cool because I 101 00:04:44,709 --> 00:04:52,049 had no idea how you know digital art 102 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:55,508 work so seeing someone draw this sparkly 103 00:04:52,050 --> 00:04:59,560 anime girl or whatever it just looked so 104 00:04:55,509 --> 00:05:02,169 cool to me so yeah I would say like 105 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:06,459 early on because artists always change 106 00:05:02,168 --> 00:05:09,250 my favorite ones back then it wasn't so 107 00:05:06,459 --> 00:05:11,978 much about quality necessarily it was 108 00:05:09,250 --> 00:05:15,279 just things that resonated with me so 109 00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:17,709 and the artists I liked back then are 110 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:19,418 not the same ones I like now what 111 00:05:17,709 --> 00:05:22,508 motivates me to keep going sort of 112 00:05:19,418 --> 00:05:25,240 leading to a later question so yeah 113 00:05:22,509 --> 00:05:28,538 alright this next one is from Bucks B 114 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,848 and it says I always love hearing about 115 00:05:28,538 --> 00:05:33,129 what keeps the artist going we all have 116 00:05:30,848 --> 00:05:35,978 our own techniques and ways of pushing 117 00:05:33,129 --> 00:05:38,110 ourselves to either get better or even 118 00:05:35,978 --> 00:05:40,360 start doing something when we're not 119 00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:44,229 having a great day I'd love to hear what 120 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,879 keeps you motivated so okay what keeps 121 00:05:44,228 --> 00:05:47,709 me about motivated and what keeps me 122 00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:51,490 going I would say that this is one of 123 00:05:47,709 --> 00:05:53,259 those questions that it's not it doesn't 124 00:05:51,490 --> 00:05:56,038 give the most flattering answer right 125 00:05:53,259 --> 00:05:59,680 because you would want to hear you know 126 00:05:56,038 --> 00:06:01,509 this really inspiring talk but that's 127 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,939 not what you're gonna get here right so 128 00:06:01,509 --> 00:06:09,930 I would say the two things that keep me 129 00:06:03,939 --> 00:06:11,879 going is habit and fear basically right 130 00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:16,150 it's um 131 00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:20,348 habit is just I spend like every single 132 00:06:16,149 --> 00:06:23,250 day I draw a song a song you know at my 133 00:06:20,348 --> 00:06:26,050 place if I'm out of town then no but 134 00:06:23,250 --> 00:06:29,500 every single day I make sure to draw a 135 00:06:26,050 --> 00:06:31,900 bunch so waking up I know I just know 136 00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:33,930 that I'm gonna be drawing for almost the 137 00:06:31,899 --> 00:06:36,819 entire day 138 00:06:33,930 --> 00:06:38,740 and and that just that's just going to 139 00:06:36,819 --> 00:06:42,579 get me you know to sit down in the chair 140 00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:48,250 and to draw and when I say fear what I 141 00:06:42,579 --> 00:06:51,159 mean is I really don't want to have a 142 00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:54,399 normal job right currently I live at 143 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,560 home with a parent so I don't have to 144 00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:57,609 earn a lot of money to get by because I 145 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,350 don't pay rent 146 00:06:57,610 --> 00:07:05,110 basically I sort of steal money no but I 147 00:07:01,350 --> 00:07:09,160 would say that feel a fire under my ass 148 00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:11,530 to to make this art thing work so that's 149 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,810 a big motivator too you know I feel like 150 00:07:11,529 --> 00:07:16,359 I'm running away from a normal job sort 151 00:07:13,810 --> 00:07:20,769 of am i I'm really trying to push 152 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,569 forward into you know being like a 153 00:07:20,769 --> 00:07:25,659 full-fledged professional artist 154 00:07:22,569 --> 00:07:28,269 currently I you know I have a patreon I 155 00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:31,570 earn about half of like what I would 156 00:07:28,269 --> 00:07:36,129 need to earn to really sustain myself if 157 00:07:31,569 --> 00:07:41,589 I wanted to you know live by myself so I 158 00:07:36,129 --> 00:07:43,930 still have ways to go so you know I 159 00:07:41,589 --> 00:07:46,329 guess that's not really motivation but I 160 00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:49,810 would say that those two things have it 161 00:07:46,329 --> 00:07:53,228 and I guess I call it fear but it's more 162 00:07:49,810 --> 00:07:56,110 fire on my ass those things really keep 163 00:07:53,228 --> 00:07:59,409 me going all right these next questions 164 00:07:56,110 --> 00:08:03,550 are from sector nerds that laughs far 165 00:07:59,410 --> 00:08:05,410 nah hey Pegasus and ass real so the 166 00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:07,720 questions are are you going to draw more 167 00:08:05,410 --> 00:08:10,450 Neela have you ever considered drawing 168 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,680 Rosie or the bunny again and am I going 169 00:08:10,449 --> 00:08:14,168 to draw more asara 170 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,810 for future updates I'm definitely going 171 00:08:14,168 --> 00:08:18,069 to be drawing more Neil in the future 172 00:08:15,810 --> 00:08:21,189 he's one of the characters that I'm 173 00:08:18,069 --> 00:08:24,129 still sort of inspired to draw and fix 174 00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:27,370 into like a niche sort of character type 175 00:08:24,129 --> 00:08:30,819 that I'm still interested in drawing as 176 00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:33,820 far as rosy tea bunny or Essaouira 177 00:08:30,819 --> 00:08:36,158 I'm just currently not that inspired to 178 00:08:33,820 --> 00:08:38,528 draw them to be honest I might draw them 179 00:08:36,158 --> 00:08:42,279 in the future but I'm not planning on it 180 00:08:38,528 --> 00:08:46,539 anytime soon so sorry so the next 181 00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:49,299 questions are from Dax and Kilowog 182 00:08:46,539 --> 00:08:52,629 dad's would like to know what steered me 183 00:08:49,299 --> 00:08:54,969 very anthro art and how I came to Emily 184 00:08:52,629 --> 00:08:58,240 and Neil as characters and Sheila would 185 00:08:54,970 --> 00:09:03,580 wonders how I go about making a new 186 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:07,029 character okay all right so I'm gonna be 187 00:09:03,580 --> 00:09:11,590 showing here a little bit some stuff so 188 00:09:07,029 --> 00:09:14,230 all right how I got into fur your answer 189 00:09:11,590 --> 00:09:16,990 of stuff like I said earlier I used to 190 00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:20,800 draw like sly cooper and ratchet in a 191 00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:24,220 Russian tank so I always were I pretty 192 00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:30,250 early sort of gravitated towards I guess 193 00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:33,910 anthro characters and then when I got to 194 00:09:30,250 --> 00:09:35,860 like you know browsing my online I do I 195 00:09:33,909 --> 00:09:37,959 guess I just stumbled upon some doctor 196 00:09:35,860 --> 00:09:42,850 comment or something and I just thought 197 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:44,710 you know I thought those characters they 198 00:09:42,850 --> 00:09:47,340 looked a lot of fun to design because 199 00:09:44,710 --> 00:09:51,070 you didn't have as many restrictions 200 00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:54,040 again like you could just make the skin 201 00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:55,680 tone like a bright blue or whatever 202 00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:59,139 that's what I thought back then at least 203 00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:02,019 even if most of my characters don't have 204 00:09:59,139 --> 00:10:03,669 really wacky designs but I just thought 205 00:10:02,019 --> 00:10:06,069 it looked a lot of fun to design those 206 00:10:03,669 --> 00:10:09,909 kind of characters because you could you 207 00:10:06,070 --> 00:10:12,850 know push the ears a lot and do crazy 208 00:10:09,909 --> 00:10:14,589 like snake eyes on all the characters 209 00:10:12,850 --> 00:10:17,320 and all that of course you can do that 210 00:10:14,590 --> 00:10:20,110 on like a human character too but back 211 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:24,730 then I found the character the science 212 00:10:20,110 --> 00:10:26,860 really appealing mmm as far as how I got 213 00:10:24,730 --> 00:10:30,180 into making Neela and Emily I have some 214 00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:32,409 early art here so here are some early 215 00:10:30,179 --> 00:10:35,559 I'm just going to censor that for you 216 00:10:32,409 --> 00:10:40,329 from you - oh I have some early art 217 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:41,709 here this is the first image I made of 218 00:10:40,330 --> 00:10:44,410 Emily right 219 00:10:41,710 --> 00:10:49,028 it's looking really scrappy right now 220 00:10:44,409 --> 00:10:52,419 but then I saw some potential here in 221 00:10:49,028 --> 00:10:57,929 the red bow the white hair and the sort 222 00:10:52,419 --> 00:11:00,250 of I guess almost pink eye back then I 223 00:10:57,929 --> 00:11:01,000 thought you know there was something 224 00:11:00,250 --> 00:11:02,740 here 225 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,629 even if back then I also thought like 226 00:11:02,740 --> 00:11:08,680 that mood is so messed up here right 227 00:11:04,629 --> 00:11:10,899 like that slide view here so weird but I 228 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:14,649 saw some potential here so I decided you 229 00:11:10,899 --> 00:11:17,470 know I'm just gonna try again I'm gonna 230 00:11:14,649 --> 00:11:20,528 try again and what I did it sort of 231 00:11:17,470 --> 00:11:24,100 stuck it's like with me a lot of the 232 00:11:20,528 --> 00:11:26,500 time my designs they started off and all 233 00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:29,620 the elements that make the design 234 00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:34,089 special or really really downplayed 235 00:11:29,620 --> 00:11:38,620 right these are some early drawings of 236 00:11:34,089 --> 00:11:43,660 vanilla right I didn't really know how I 237 00:11:38,620 --> 00:11:45,909 wanted him to look early on I just knew 238 00:11:43,659 --> 00:11:48,850 I wanted him to be really pale because I 239 00:11:45,909 --> 00:11:52,719 had another sort of horse character back 240 00:11:48,850 --> 00:11:55,089 then that was you know darker in the fur 241 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:58,300 color so I sort of wanted two of them 242 00:11:55,089 --> 00:12:03,010 and want to be more dark skinned I guess 243 00:11:58,299 --> 00:12:05,949 and want to be much brighter so here you 244 00:12:03,009 --> 00:12:08,649 can see that you sort of have the same 245 00:12:05,950 --> 00:12:12,339 elements in the final you know I removed 246 00:12:08,649 --> 00:12:14,949 the earring but you can see here that 247 00:12:12,339 --> 00:12:20,080 the elements that go into like the 248 00:12:14,950 --> 00:12:24,129 hairstyle here are really they are 249 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,839 really cowardly sort of saying here for 250 00:12:24,129 --> 00:12:31,958 like the bow the bow is really small the 251 00:12:25,839 --> 00:12:33,910 hair kouf is really small so for Emily 252 00:12:31,958 --> 00:12:36,250 you know when I when I decided that okay 253 00:12:33,909 --> 00:12:40,649 I know these are the elements that I'm 254 00:12:36,250 --> 00:12:43,419 gonna go with I changed the earring up 255 00:12:40,649 --> 00:12:45,639 because having like a hoop earring on 256 00:12:43,419 --> 00:12:47,759 appear like this I just don't really 257 00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:50,919 it's sort of knowing looking sometimes 258 00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:52,509 so you know I changed this I knew the 259 00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:54,149 sort of hairstyle I was going for so I 260 00:12:52,509 --> 00:12:56,519 just made it figure 261 00:12:54,149 --> 00:13:00,029 and the truth you know I made that way 262 00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:00,419 bigger and I made the hair bow just way 263 00:13:00,029 --> 00:13:02,730 bigger 264 00:13:00,419 --> 00:13:04,949 I just wanted everything to to you know 265 00:13:02,730 --> 00:13:09,800 make her more iconic I just pushed all 266 00:13:04,950 --> 00:13:12,629 the elements that I have so immediately 267 00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:14,189 I feel like the design got a lot 268 00:13:12,629 --> 00:13:16,950 stronger just you know pushing the 269 00:13:14,190 --> 00:13:19,710 elements bigger and the same sort of 270 00:13:16,950 --> 00:13:21,780 went for Neela here I drew this thing I 271 00:13:19,710 --> 00:13:23,970 thought it was you know like mm-hmm 272 00:13:21,779 --> 00:13:26,339 I wasn't super happy but I thought 273 00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:28,680 something was there but then I do do 274 00:13:26,340 --> 00:13:33,290 this thing and I was like oh I want 275 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:36,059 him to have really giant hair right and 276 00:13:33,289 --> 00:13:40,079 back then you know his hair was more of 277 00:13:36,059 --> 00:13:42,299 a gradient from a mic tone into like a 278 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,340 reddish tone and I was also thinking of 279 00:13:42,299 --> 00:13:46,889 like maybe having like sparkly stuff in 280 00:13:44,340 --> 00:13:49,800 it but then I thought it looked like you 281 00:13:46,889 --> 00:13:52,350 know that thing where people get like 282 00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:54,779 white flakes in the hair or some 283 00:13:52,350 --> 00:13:58,649 and yeah I didn't I didn't want it to 284 00:13:54,779 --> 00:14:00,389 look like that at all yeah but you can 285 00:13:58,649 --> 00:14:02,939 see here that you know you have the 286 00:14:00,389 --> 00:14:04,830 golden ring around the hair which is in 287 00:14:02,940 --> 00:14:07,770 the final design that I'm still drawing 288 00:14:04,830 --> 00:14:10,379 nowadays but it's like tiny here and the 289 00:14:07,769 --> 00:14:12,360 hairball it's like it's just tiny but I 290 00:14:10,379 --> 00:14:15,629 wanted to give it more volume so you 291 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:18,419 know I made it really big and instead of 292 00:14:15,629 --> 00:14:21,600 having the ball up top and then having 293 00:14:18,419 --> 00:14:23,250 the hair in the bottom I sort of decided 294 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,389 that I wanted to make him I have like a 295 00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:30,419 huge golden ring and I wanted the hair 296 00:14:27,389 --> 00:14:32,909 to have more volume so I decided you 297 00:14:30,419 --> 00:14:35,219 know if the hair foots up on the top 298 00:14:32,909 --> 00:14:37,319 that gives it more volume right from you 299 00:14:35,220 --> 00:14:41,000 like the side view so I can gather the 300 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:43,770 hair underneath then poof it up the top 301 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,620 and that's just going to give it a lot 302 00:14:43,769 --> 00:14:51,149 more volume and once I had this sort of 303 00:14:46,620 --> 00:14:55,070 thing I I sort of knew you know that all 304 00:14:51,149 --> 00:14:57,959 right this sort of hairstyles cool so 305 00:14:55,070 --> 00:15:00,570 yeah I started off with with the 306 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,730 elements green eyes sort of and the 307 00:15:00,570 --> 00:15:08,640 small golden ring and you know the sort 308 00:15:02,730 --> 00:15:12,170 of I had cut like like a ponytail almost 309 00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:14,879 was like a bun but I just arranged them 310 00:15:12,169 --> 00:15:18,959 differently and I really played up the 311 00:15:14,879 --> 00:15:19,889 elements so the poof became poufier the 312 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,590 bond became 313 00:15:19,889 --> 00:15:25,740 bonheur and the golden brain just got 314 00:15:22,590 --> 00:15:27,810 really huge so with Emily it's sort of 315 00:15:25,740 --> 00:15:32,240 similar and you want elements that I 316 00:15:27,809 --> 00:15:35,729 wanted could I push them a lot more 317 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:39,240 alright so when it comes to how I make a 318 00:15:35,730 --> 00:15:44,279 new character hereos like I'm sort of 319 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:46,680 showed I tend to start off thinking more 320 00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:51,059 about colors and which elements that I'm 321 00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:59,299 gonna use so for example let's say I'm I 322 00:15:51,059 --> 00:16:02,000 want to draw a my god Fox character 323 00:15:59,299 --> 00:16:04,349 [Music] 324 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,860 instead of trying to draw a really 325 00:16:04,350 --> 00:16:07,830 creepy 326 00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:11,580 Fox character I sort of start off with 327 00:16:07,830 --> 00:16:19,410 you know just all right I want folks to 328 00:16:11,580 --> 00:16:22,290 be you know sort of orange fish and you 329 00:16:19,409 --> 00:16:24,659 know Fox has the white tape 330 00:16:22,289 --> 00:16:28,079 edited maybe they have like some white 331 00:16:24,659 --> 00:16:32,929 detail in the face I don't know how 332 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:37,230 foxes look I don't know focus but you 333 00:16:32,929 --> 00:16:38,949 know what the Fox has some stuff like 334 00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:41,950 this 335 00:16:38,950 --> 00:16:49,750 and I think they often have some torture 336 00:16:41,950 --> 00:16:54,959 like feel like right as authority now 337 00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:58,389 when it comes to the hair and it knows I 338 00:16:54,958 --> 00:17:00,698 don't always have to pay attention to 339 00:16:58,389 --> 00:17:04,660 clothing because you know I often draw 340 00:17:00,698 --> 00:17:08,109 characters without know but let's say I 341 00:17:04,660 --> 00:17:11,470 want to draw nice hair styling these 342 00:17:08,109 --> 00:17:14,289 characters this character I try to think 343 00:17:11,470 --> 00:17:17,679 of colors that work well so I think this 344 00:17:14,289 --> 00:17:19,568 looks awful blue I don't like that 345 00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:24,339 either I think you could get away with 346 00:17:19,568 --> 00:17:26,139 like they sort of color for hair if you 347 00:17:24,338 --> 00:17:28,750 wanted to I don't think that looks 348 00:17:26,140 --> 00:17:30,960 really weird but you have to also be 349 00:17:28,750 --> 00:17:34,390 mindful of like the values right so 350 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:37,630 maybe like forth I often want to 351 00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:40,330 contrast in the value so maybe maybe 352 00:17:37,630 --> 00:17:42,250 that even lighter you get some more 353 00:17:40,329 --> 00:17:45,909 light versus the sort of mid-tone and 354 00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:49,869 then you have the darks and maybe I want 355 00:17:45,910 --> 00:17:53,919 some like hair clip in there too and I 356 00:17:49,869 --> 00:17:57,729 could make that happy and color it maybe 357 00:17:53,919 --> 00:18:01,000 I want a cooler cooler color I could 358 00:17:57,730 --> 00:18:03,039 just make the ice a cool color like a 359 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:09,339 cold color because I don't really have 360 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:12,970 that much that many cold colors so so I 361 00:18:09,339 --> 00:18:18,129 started off sort of trying to do this 362 00:18:12,970 --> 00:18:20,230 looks like some shitty very design let's 363 00:18:18,130 --> 00:18:23,250 actually just I'm just not gonna give it 364 00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:25,630 to fantasy colors I'm just gonna be like 365 00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:27,839 I'm just gonna make it like a darker 366 00:18:25,630 --> 00:18:27,840 Brown 367 00:18:31,490 --> 00:18:39,798 all right and I'm gonna give her her kid 368 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:42,019 okay so I start off with the colors like 369 00:18:39,798 --> 00:18:45,379 this I start up just thinking about 370 00:18:42,019 --> 00:18:48,408 colors and I started thinking I really 371 00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:51,470 tried to get the colors looking good 372 00:18:48,409 --> 00:18:53,240 I don't worry at all about that 373 00:18:51,470 --> 00:18:56,720 character looking pretty at this stage 374 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,700 all I'm worrying about is the color 375 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:03,440 setup and maybe that material right like 376 00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:05,419 this is maybe a glossy now let's say 377 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,940 four colors we already introduced this 378 00:19:05,419 --> 00:19:09,980 and yeah we had some of that color in 379 00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:17,259 the hair let's just give it to like the 380 00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:17,259 dress now let's say she had a dress on 381 00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:23,808 maybe wanted to I think it's written 382 00:19:22,308 --> 00:19:26,089 kind of weird so I'm just gonna make it 383 00:19:23,808 --> 00:19:31,339 like it's gonna have this sort of 384 00:19:26,089 --> 00:19:36,288 gradient on and maybe she has like a 385 00:19:31,339 --> 00:19:39,099 white necklace right okay so now we we 386 00:19:36,288 --> 00:19:41,419 have this sort of character here and 387 00:19:39,099 --> 00:19:43,849 many of you people will say like what 388 00:19:41,419 --> 00:19:46,700 the is this you know this is just 389 00:19:43,849 --> 00:19:52,308 some right here you haven't 390 00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:55,220 proved anything I feel like you can make 391 00:19:52,308 --> 00:19:57,259 a lot of character designs and you can 392 00:19:55,220 --> 00:20:00,890 check if they work at the stage like 393 00:19:57,259 --> 00:20:04,190 this because you will probably be able 394 00:20:00,890 --> 00:20:07,640 to tell if a design is really shitty at 395 00:20:04,190 --> 00:20:09,890 this stage or if it works but I don't 396 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,159 think this is amazing but I think it 397 00:20:09,890 --> 00:20:14,809 would work for a cute character right 398 00:20:12,159 --> 00:20:18,440 the thing is you have to think about 399 00:20:14,808 --> 00:20:22,908 think about it like this a professional 400 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:26,450 artist could draw a cute and throw fox 401 00:20:22,909 --> 00:20:29,299 right that's just a fact right it's been 402 00:20:26,450 --> 00:20:33,740 done before lots of artists have drawn 403 00:20:29,298 --> 00:20:36,918 cute and throw foxes so your challenge 404 00:20:33,740 --> 00:20:40,000 should not necessarily be to just draw 405 00:20:36,919 --> 00:20:42,740 up suit and throw fox because 406 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,319 you know that can be done that's not the 407 00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:50,419 big challenge here the big challenge is 408 00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:52,548 drawing a new design of a cube and throw 409 00:20:50,419 --> 00:20:56,659 folks so if you're just thinking about 410 00:20:52,548 --> 00:20:58,429 like basic elements you have hair you 411 00:20:56,659 --> 00:21:00,649 have you know hair color you have the 412 00:20:58,429 --> 00:21:03,500 deferred color which on a fox you know 413 00:21:00,648 --> 00:21:06,739 for it to read as a fox you sort of need 414 00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:11,119 to to keep it at this foot of this or 415 00:21:06,740 --> 00:21:13,308 orangish thing and if I color you could 416 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,199 go with whatever I chose blue it's sort 417 00:21:13,308 --> 00:21:21,349 of a basic color you could go green if 418 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:23,090 you want you could have you know I think 419 00:21:21,349 --> 00:21:28,849 blue works well because it's sort of 420 00:21:23,089 --> 00:21:30,589 complement to the orange but I think the 421 00:21:28,849 --> 00:21:37,969 live works best here because it's a cool 422 00:21:30,589 --> 00:21:39,859 color too but yeah so this is state step 423 00:21:37,970 --> 00:21:42,019 one right step two would be to actually 424 00:21:39,859 --> 00:21:44,388 try to figure out like what's this hair 425 00:21:42,019 --> 00:21:48,019 looked at like you know what are the 426 00:21:44,388 --> 00:21:52,298 ears or the hairs big or small and I 427 00:21:48,019 --> 00:21:52,298 don't know how to draw fox faces but 428 00:21:54,069 --> 00:22:04,490 this is going to be the same character 429 00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:06,918 right so imagine you know if you are 430 00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:12,440 really good at drawing like this kind of 431 00:22:06,919 --> 00:22:17,690 fox characters you could probably get 432 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:21,710 this to work out right like it shouldn't 433 00:22:17,690 --> 00:22:23,990 be that difficult once you have this to 434 00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:28,130 just go into this and already have so 435 00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:30,048 many problem solved okay so I'm just 436 00:22:28,130 --> 00:22:34,010 gonna be answering some other questions 437 00:22:30,048 --> 00:22:37,369 now while the drawing progresses in the 438 00:22:34,009 --> 00:22:41,298 background I'm sort of going to speed up 439 00:22:37,369 --> 00:22:45,619 the drawing process so it ends when the 440 00:22:41,298 --> 00:22:50,139 questions end okay so my favorite food 441 00:22:45,619 --> 00:22:53,019 from mom and pineapple on pizza 442 00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:57,790 maybe pineapple on pizza is my favorite 443 00:22:53,019 --> 00:23:01,509 food it's not I am actually here 444 00:22:57,789 --> 00:23:05,649 when I was like 12 maybe I used to eat 445 00:23:01,509 --> 00:23:08,379 this pizza that had had shrimp 446 00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:10,929 and pineapple on it unlike a normal 447 00:23:08,380 --> 00:23:14,400 pizza and that that was like the only 448 00:23:10,929 --> 00:23:18,009 topping well apart from like tomato and 449 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:20,230 cheese sounds really gross when I think 450 00:23:18,009 --> 00:23:22,900 about it I remember I used to have that 451 00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:25,019 and then I sort of removed the shrimp 452 00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:28,090 from it and I just had pineapple on it 453 00:23:25,019 --> 00:23:32,289 then I sort of switch switched from a 454 00:23:28,089 --> 00:23:35,349 pineapple on pizza to mostly like kebab 455 00:23:32,289 --> 00:23:40,629 pizza because that's a big thing here in 456 00:23:35,349 --> 00:23:42,879 Sweden so I would say you know nowadays 457 00:23:40,630 --> 00:23:46,059 I rarely have a pineapple on my pizza 458 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,940 but I don't think it's a big sin so 459 00:23:46,058 --> 00:23:52,298 fight me on that my favourite food now 460 00:23:48,940 --> 00:23:56,500 though I really liked Thai food recently 461 00:23:52,298 --> 00:24:00,429 I I like this one dish I get near me 462 00:23:56,500 --> 00:24:03,789 that has like spicy basil on it it's 463 00:24:00,429 --> 00:24:06,400 like chicken in some sort of thing with 464 00:24:03,789 --> 00:24:09,220 spicy bases and rice I really like that 465 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,620 one that would be my current favorite 466 00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:15,850 food okay the next question is from 467 00:24:11,619 --> 00:24:18,069 Vashti and a la rue key to how do you 468 00:24:15,849 --> 00:24:20,409 deal with negativity and harsh criticism 469 00:24:18,069 --> 00:24:22,869 I used to be very unfit for taking 470 00:24:20,410 --> 00:24:25,779 unwanted criticism but nowadays I do my 471 00:24:22,869 --> 00:24:28,329 best to remind myself that at the end my 472 00:24:25,779 --> 00:24:30,940 satisfaction is most important so how do 473 00:24:28,329 --> 00:24:33,308 you keep your chin up this is a hard 474 00:24:30,940 --> 00:24:35,830 question for me to answer because I 475 00:24:33,308 --> 00:24:38,470 don't get that much negativity or harsh 476 00:24:35,829 --> 00:24:42,460 criticism that at least not like based 477 00:24:38,470 --> 00:24:45,058 like on my art directly mmm I feel you 478 00:24:42,460 --> 00:24:47,890 know you've heard this before probably 479 00:24:45,058 --> 00:24:50,410 that the criticism that hurts the most 480 00:24:47,890 --> 00:24:52,660 is the criticism that rings true 481 00:24:50,410 --> 00:24:55,600 that you you know sort of agree with and 482 00:24:52,660 --> 00:24:59,500 it's the same with me the thing though 483 00:24:55,599 --> 00:25:02,009 with that is like I think two times or 484 00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:04,859 something I've gone on like easy 485 00:25:02,009 --> 00:25:06,750 twenty-one which is like a fairy gallery 486 00:25:04,859 --> 00:25:10,079 side and you know if you want to hear 487 00:25:06,750 --> 00:25:13,440 some critique of your art you will 488 00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:15,659 mostly find it on insights where it's 489 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,970 not your own gallery right people are 490 00:25:15,660 --> 00:25:20,279 much more willing to talk about 491 00:25:17,970 --> 00:25:23,309 images when they don't know if you're 492 00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:27,750 gonna see it or not so I've seen maybe 493 00:25:23,309 --> 00:25:29,819 twice or three times criticism on a six 494 00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:32,359 foot one where I'm actually I actually 495 00:25:29,819 --> 00:25:36,210 learned something from the shit-talking 496 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:39,750 and I sort of take steps to try and get 497 00:25:36,210 --> 00:25:42,630 better at it that way so you know I sort 498 00:25:39,750 --> 00:25:46,529 of agree with you like I'm the same in a 499 00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:49,200 way where for a while at least 500 00:25:46,529 --> 00:25:51,680 whenever I heard criticism my first 501 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,080 reaction is to get very defensive right 502 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,450 because I always go through you know 503 00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:59,759 things in my head about what works in my 504 00:25:57,450 --> 00:26:01,710 art and what doesn't work and when I 505 00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:04,140 hear something new that doesn't work 506 00:26:01,710 --> 00:26:06,299 that I haven't necessarily considered 507 00:26:04,140 --> 00:26:09,210 too much but it's somewhere deep in my 508 00:26:06,299 --> 00:26:12,210 brain I can still feel that you know it 509 00:26:09,210 --> 00:26:14,430 might ring true I get really defensive 510 00:26:12,210 --> 00:26:17,009 at first and I think to myself you know 511 00:26:14,430 --> 00:26:19,049 that and now that's not an issue and I 512 00:26:17,009 --> 00:26:20,970 might I might sort of defend myself from 513 00:26:19,049 --> 00:26:25,919 the criticism with some weird excuse 514 00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:29,910 like like oh it's my style dude or you 515 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:33,120 know maybe I do have just this this sort 516 00:26:29,910 --> 00:26:35,610 of misunderstanding of the rules right 517 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:38,459 like maybe I've started justifying 518 00:26:35,609 --> 00:26:42,509 something I do that might not be perfect 519 00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:44,819 and I'm justifying it as my style which 520 00:26:42,509 --> 00:26:47,210 you know that's like that that's almost 521 00:26:44,819 --> 00:26:49,939 like a joke you know it's my style of 522 00:26:47,210 --> 00:26:54,240 course a lot of the time that's just 523 00:26:49,940 --> 00:26:56,759 kind of BS and a lot of people are sort 524 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,680 of you know ridiculing that sort of 525 00:26:56,759 --> 00:27:01,349 person but a lot of people I think 526 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:05,549 actually do that it's my style 527 00:27:01,349 --> 00:27:08,609 excuse mentally to themselves maybe they 528 00:27:05,549 --> 00:27:12,329 don't use enough contrast or they don't 529 00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:14,159 use enough you know value or enough cast 530 00:27:12,329 --> 00:27:16,259 shadows or form shadows 531 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,840 they sort of mentally they tell 532 00:27:16,259 --> 00:27:21,690 themselves that you know that's not the 533 00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:23,399 look I'm going for you know and maybe it 534 00:27:21,690 --> 00:27:26,509 isn't really the look they're going for 535 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:30,000 but their art might actually improve 536 00:27:26,509 --> 00:27:33,900 quite vastly with those changes though 537 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:36,900 so sometimes maybe you're just hesitant 538 00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:40,560 to to change and that's why the 539 00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:42,509 criticism hurts you because you know you 540 00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:44,940 don't want to change some things about 541 00:27:42,509 --> 00:27:48,269 your art because maybe those things are 542 00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:49,920 very difficult for you to change I don't 543 00:27:48,269 --> 00:27:52,200 know I think I think it's very difficult 544 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,930 and I think depending on your mental 545 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,920 state if it changes it changes it a lot 546 00:27:54,930 --> 00:28:02,640 if you have a lot of self-doubt then 547 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:06,450 criticism is much harder how do I keep 548 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:08,640 my chin up if the criticism is on the 549 00:28:06,450 --> 00:28:10,830 are you can't take it too personally and 550 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,320 I know it some people you know all you 551 00:28:10,829 --> 00:28:15,419 have is your artwork and it's very 552 00:28:13,319 --> 00:28:18,419 difficult to remove yourself from it 553 00:28:15,420 --> 00:28:22,500 because maybe maybe your life is 554 00:28:18,420 --> 00:28:25,740 absolutely shitty and you feel like the 555 00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:27,509 only thing in your art in your life that 556 00:28:25,740 --> 00:28:30,269 matters and the only thing you're really 557 00:28:27,509 --> 00:28:33,089 spending quality time on is your artwork 558 00:28:30,269 --> 00:28:35,759 so then when someone shits on it it 559 00:28:33,089 --> 00:28:38,669 feels really bad because it's like oh 560 00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:41,549 the only thing I stand for is my own 561 00:28:38,670 --> 00:28:44,340 artwork and now this person is 562 00:28:41,549 --> 00:28:46,169 on the only thing I stand for right it's 563 00:28:44,339 --> 00:28:49,319 like painting one image for your entire 564 00:28:46,170 --> 00:28:51,779 life and then realizing that this one 565 00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:53,759 paintings actually garbage that doesn't 566 00:28:51,779 --> 00:28:55,700 feel good right you feel like you've 567 00:28:53,759 --> 00:29:01,170 wasted your time at that point 568 00:28:55,700 --> 00:29:04,049 so I would say if if you're not finding 569 00:29:01,170 --> 00:29:07,590 an audience yet but you are finding 570 00:29:04,049 --> 00:29:10,799 negative criticism then maybe work on 571 00:29:07,589 --> 00:29:15,149 your skills and wait a little bit before 572 00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:18,359 you post your art online wait until the 573 00:29:15,150 --> 00:29:20,190 positive feedback sort of outshines the 574 00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:23,129 negativity you're getting right if 575 00:29:20,190 --> 00:29:25,529 people are just talking on you that 576 00:29:23,130 --> 00:29:27,270 being said there are some themes like if 577 00:29:25,529 --> 00:29:33,480 you are one of the people who draw 578 00:29:27,269 --> 00:29:34,609 you know really weird diaper weird I 579 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,819 don't know 580 00:29:34,609 --> 00:29:41,279 Bart Simpson in diaper if that's 581 00:29:38,819 --> 00:29:42,799 your sort of subject matter then I think 582 00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:45,210 it's going to be difficult to avoid 583 00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:47,490 criticism right you have to find some 584 00:29:45,210 --> 00:29:49,289 really weird circles to avoid criticism 585 00:29:47,490 --> 00:29:52,799 if that's the sort of confident you're 586 00:29:49,289 --> 00:29:55,259 growing so yeah it's a very personal 587 00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:59,039 sort of conclusion you have to come to 588 00:29:55,259 --> 00:30:02,910 and I think also the first few you know 589 00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:07,309 unwanted criticisms or the first times 590 00:30:02,910 --> 00:30:10,050 you you get some hate on your art that's 591 00:30:07,309 --> 00:30:13,079 that's that's when it hurts the work the 592 00:30:10,049 --> 00:30:16,259 most and you also another thing that 593 00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:18,449 helped me is you have to see every 594 00:30:16,259 --> 00:30:21,529 whenever someone talks on you on 595 00:30:18,450 --> 00:30:24,509 about you online you have to see it as 596 00:30:21,529 --> 00:30:26,220 your brain should immediately think okay 597 00:30:24,509 --> 00:30:27,690 this is practice like you you 598 00:30:26,220 --> 00:30:29,910 immediately get this bad feeling 599 00:30:27,690 --> 00:30:34,410 horrible feeling oh this person 600 00:30:29,910 --> 00:30:39,240 told you smack but your first instinct 601 00:30:34,410 --> 00:30:42,000 should maybe be to just think of it as 602 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,309 an opportunity to get a thicker skin 603 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,720 right because just imagine these 604 00:30:44,309 --> 00:30:51,869 youtubers you know going through all the 605 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:54,240 drama right just imagine like the 606 00:30:51,869 --> 00:30:56,729 they get and they are broadcasting their 607 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:59,250 face their personality their brand they 608 00:30:56,730 --> 00:31:00,930 are completely connected to what's 609 00:30:59,250 --> 00:31:03,569 getting criticism it's not just their 610 00:31:00,930 --> 00:31:07,019 work it's everything about them that 611 00:31:03,569 --> 00:31:09,359 they get on for and and threats and 612 00:31:07,019 --> 00:31:12,450 everything and some of those people they 613 00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:15,029 don't give a because they are so 614 00:31:12,450 --> 00:31:16,920 used to it and they still have their 615 00:31:15,029 --> 00:31:18,690 audience they have people who do like 616 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,230 what they're making they just have to 617 00:31:18,690 --> 00:31:26,250 detach themselves a little bit from the 618 00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:30,210 online community so I hope that helps 619 00:31:26,250 --> 00:31:33,829 it's a long answer it's very personal ok 620 00:31:30,210 --> 00:31:35,460 next questions come in from Romain and 621 00:31:33,829 --> 00:31:37,589 yond Oh 622 00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:41,529 or who have 623 00:31:37,589 --> 00:31:44,769 okay questions are can you explain your 624 00:31:41,529 --> 00:31:47,680 love for drawing and have you made 625 00:31:44,769 --> 00:31:50,319 specific studies for that and have I 626 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:54,190 ever expanded into other art forms like 627 00:31:50,319 --> 00:31:57,220 sculpture so I would say that my love 628 00:31:54,190 --> 00:31:59,529 for drawing or my passion for it it I 629 00:31:57,220 --> 00:32:02,880 guess I can't explain it it just came 630 00:31:59,529 --> 00:32:06,639 naturally but as far as studies and 631 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:10,480 expanding into other art forms I went to 632 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:12,970 a high school with an art sort of 633 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:15,279 direction you know it's still high 634 00:32:12,970 --> 00:32:17,980 school so you're you're not really 635 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:21,069 getting professional teachers and you 636 00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:25,420 had to do math and chemistry and all 637 00:32:21,069 --> 00:32:28,329 that so I really like study wise I would 638 00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:31,210 say that I really didn't learn anything 639 00:32:28,329 --> 00:32:35,259 it was mostly mental the thing the 640 00:32:31,210 --> 00:32:37,809 thought of you know okay art is my it's 641 00:32:35,259 --> 00:32:40,480 actually the thing that I've chosen and 642 00:32:37,809 --> 00:32:44,319 and you know your family or my family 643 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:46,509 would they sort of accept that me trying 644 00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:49,629 to pursue art more because I actually 645 00:32:46,509 --> 00:32:51,579 went into that sort of education even if 646 00:32:49,630 --> 00:32:54,280 the education itself didn't teach me 647 00:32:51,579 --> 00:32:57,819 much about art at all yeah in high 648 00:32:54,279 --> 00:33:01,899 school we had to we had to you know try 649 00:32:57,819 --> 00:33:05,139 some different things like oils and some 650 00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:07,090 sculpture and all that the teaching 651 00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:11,140 wasn't very good so I was really shitty 652 00:33:07,089 --> 00:33:14,319 at it that being said I recently have 653 00:33:11,140 --> 00:33:18,030 tried some see brush and some I just 654 00:33:14,319 --> 00:33:20,439 like dabbled a tiny bit in blender and 655 00:33:18,029 --> 00:33:23,349 leather is really technical and it's 656 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,360 really scary it's like it doesn't even 657 00:33:23,349 --> 00:33:28,389 feel like art to me at this point like 658 00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:31,799 ZBrush and Shelia ZBrush I bought ZBrush 659 00:33:28,390 --> 00:33:34,300 core right so it's not as confusing I 660 00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:37,899 would say that ZBrush when I when I'm in 661 00:33:34,299 --> 00:33:40,599 ZBrush I feel like I'm taking part in 662 00:33:37,900 --> 00:33:43,910 art you know some some what I feel like 663 00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:46,099 I'm moving the the sculpture 664 00:33:43,910 --> 00:33:47,420 you know it has the dynamesh feature so 665 00:33:46,099 --> 00:33:50,389 I don't have to think much about 666 00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:55,220 polygons or any of that I just 667 00:33:50,390 --> 00:33:57,770 worry about making the forum in blender 668 00:33:55,220 --> 00:34:00,289 though I haven't spent as much time in 669 00:33:57,769 --> 00:34:02,240 blender but it feels really technical 670 00:34:00,289 --> 00:34:05,359 and like you're using a mouse it doesn't 671 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:09,500 feel like art I truly think people can 672 00:34:05,359 --> 00:34:13,190 make amazing work with box modeling with 673 00:34:09,500 --> 00:34:14,900 blender I just for me as coming from 674 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:17,539 like a 2d place 675 00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:21,440 it feels very technical it feels very 676 00:34:17,539 --> 00:34:25,130 scary it's just not it's not really 677 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:28,940 something that even feels attached to 678 00:34:25,130 --> 00:34:31,550 art for me at the moment it feels more 679 00:34:28,940 --> 00:34:35,539 like pushing numbers around a little bit 680 00:34:31,550 --> 00:34:38,570 the next up is from gen hunter what 681 00:34:35,539 --> 00:34:40,759 keeps you from giving up on a piece so I 682 00:34:38,570 --> 00:34:44,210 would say that what keeps me from giving 683 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:47,510 up I've gotten to a stage now where when 684 00:34:44,210 --> 00:34:49,429 I when I do art I I make sure like when 685 00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:52,760 I'm doing a finished image I make sure 686 00:34:49,429 --> 00:34:55,969 my line my lines on my drawing before 687 00:34:52,760 --> 00:35:00,640 coloring I make sure it holds up well 688 00:34:55,969 --> 00:35:02,480 enough this usually results in me 689 00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:05,150 finishing the picture 690 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:07,699 because I sort of just rely on the 691 00:35:05,150 --> 00:35:10,070 drawing and the colors even if the 692 00:35:07,699 --> 00:35:13,099 colors even if I struggle with them I 693 00:35:10,070 --> 00:35:17,480 could sort of create something okay at 694 00:35:13,099 --> 00:35:20,710 the end and since the drawing is there 695 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:23,570 you know I sort of have the foundation I 696 00:35:20,710 --> 00:35:26,329 would say though that in the past I 697 00:35:23,570 --> 00:35:29,269 wasn't as strict with the drawing and 698 00:35:26,329 --> 00:35:32,150 maybe I jumped into doing flat colors 699 00:35:29,269 --> 00:35:35,780 too early and I ended up a few times 700 00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:37,460 like sort of I would draw the thing and 701 00:35:35,780 --> 00:35:39,530 I would sue me and I would do the line 702 00:35:37,460 --> 00:35:41,840 art and then when I colored I would 703 00:35:39,530 --> 00:35:45,019 start noticing all these problems that I 704 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,850 didn't notice earlier and I just kept 705 00:35:45,019 --> 00:35:49,489 changing and fiddling around with things 706 00:35:46,849 --> 00:35:52,489 and it just made me give up on it so I 707 00:35:49,489 --> 00:35:55,549 would say what keeps me from giving up 708 00:35:52,489 --> 00:35:56,389 on it is that I sort of have to create 709 00:35:55,550 --> 00:35:57,798 art 710 00:35:56,389 --> 00:36:04,489 because I'm trying to make this my 711 00:35:57,798 --> 00:36:07,699 living and I feel like the foundation 712 00:36:04,489 --> 00:36:11,078 works well enough so that keeps me from 713 00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:15,348 giving up so next question is from Gio 714 00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:17,930 Jeschke why do you draw such amazing art 715 00:36:15,349 --> 00:36:22,430 of things most people don't draw well 716 00:36:17,929 --> 00:36:24,500 thank you I guess most people want to be 717 00:36:22,429 --> 00:36:26,838 able to Cho show their friends what they 718 00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:30,079 draw so maybe that's why they don't draw 719 00:36:26,838 --> 00:36:31,219 really lewd pigs in weird situations I 720 00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:34,369 don't know 721 00:36:31,219 --> 00:36:37,818 next question comes from tequila on 722 00:36:34,369 --> 00:36:41,059 stilts that's a good name I just now 723 00:36:37,818 --> 00:36:43,190 realized you're also a Swede ever 724 00:36:41,059 --> 00:36:45,760 thought of going to a comic Nordic 725 00:36:43,190 --> 00:36:48,250 Boskone yeah I've thought about it 726 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:51,289 probably not 727 00:36:48,250 --> 00:36:52,579 not this year maybe the next one I would 728 00:36:51,289 --> 00:36:56,630 like to be able to sell some stuff 729 00:36:52,579 --> 00:36:59,420 probably if I go it's it's sort of 730 00:36:56,630 --> 00:37:03,650 expensive to go there and I usually 731 00:36:59,420 --> 00:37:06,920 don't like to go to cons and stuff in 732 00:37:03,650 --> 00:37:09,170 like winter season it's like cold and 733 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:12,980 you have to travel a bit and oh I don't 734 00:37:09,170 --> 00:37:15,259 really like it but yeah I'll probably go

morning I would take a walk so I took a 755 00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:12,800 walk and I was just brainstorming the 756 00:38:10,489 --> 00:38:15,049 whole way it was like a 45-minute walk 757 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:18,110 and I was just going like I wanted to 758 00:38:15,050 --> 00:38:21,620 start with a seed and I need there to be 759 00:38:18,110 --> 00:38:23,620 two words because I

capsule like tsiyon capsule I did 771 00:38:53,900 --> 00:38:58,220 not have cyanide in mind at all I 772 00:38:56,300 --> 00:39:01,370 thought of SIA and because that's my 773 00:38:58,219 --> 00:39:03,259 that was my favorite color back then I 774 00:39:01,369 --> 00:39:05,989 don't know what my favorite color is now 775 00:39:03,260 --> 00:39:10,730 but back then it was definitely cyan and 776 00:39:05,989 --> 00:39:12,679 I also liked magenta so I wanted SIA and 777 00:39:10,730 --> 00:39:15,559 I wanted another word to start with see 778 00:39:12,679 --> 00:39:19,129 I tried to

watching the fight between 801 00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:24,299 Rock Lee and Gaara and Rock Lee was also 802 00:40:22,110 --> 00:40:27,000 a character I used to like a lot because 803 00:40:24,300 --> 00:40:28,380 like he can only do like taijutsu is 804 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,659 that the name of it I don't know like 805 00:40:28,380 --> 00:40:33,840 the punching thing he can't do any like 806 00:40:30,659 --> 00:40:36,599 magic stuff and he's like a big fan of 807 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:39,510 his teacher so he kind of 808 00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:42,869 dresses us in and he's not pretty he has 809 00:40:39,510 --> 00:40:46,110 these weird like frog eyes he still 810 00:40:42,869 --> 00:40:48,569 wicked strong especially or early on but 811 00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:52,099 I feel like Moomin Rider is sort of 812 00:40:48,570 --> 00:40:54,720 roughly but to the very core it's like 813 00:40:52,099 --> 00:40:56,849 Moomin rider has an even bigger heart 814 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,399 and he's even shittier it fighting is 815 00:40:56,849 --> 00:41:03,179 just like a biker in a silly biking 816 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:05,940 outfit and so yeah I just shaped him and 817 00:41:03,179 --> 00:41:10,199 Saitama a lot I feel like you know 818 00:41:05,940 --> 00:41:12,240 Saitama has the strength and he has the 819 00:41:10,199 --> 00:41:15,659 power but he lacks the will power 820 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:17,369 whereas Moomin Rider he's sort of the 821 00:41:15,659 --> 00:41:20,250 opposite he lacks the strength 822 00:41:17,369 --> 00:41:23,579 he's shitty at fighting but he has the 823 00:41:20,250 --> 00:41:25,619 heart he has the ambition to you know 824 00:41:23,579 --> 00:41:28,319 make the world a better place and fight 825 00:41:25,619 --> 00:41:31,829 the bad guys and all that so I think 826 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:35,460 there could be a good couple you know so 827 00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:38,219 yeah Moomin writer so yeah those were 828 00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:40,710 most of the questions that I got I'm 829 00:41:38,219 --> 00:41:45,449 sorry if I missed you I'm gonna try to 830 00:41:40,710 --> 00:41:47,250 respond to you by a text yeah I don't 831
