This was so great, Nono! This just happened to pop up in my feed today and I’m ever so glad it did!! Nono, I just adore your style, your voice, your no-nonsense approach, everything you do. I immediately subscribed. And now I have to go and fill my TWSBI Eco. Thanks so much, Nora. Sending you all the love, from Pembroke, Ontario 🇨🇦☮️✨🎈
it is more to give an idea of how to practice, what you can do. Would you like to have more of a follow along type video? Or in general? I always take suggestions :)
A beginner like me needs feedback to be able to improve. I can't just start drawing 3 point perspective cubes and go "that looks good enough". How would I know?!
You would first start off, with a 2 point perspective cube. You can check out a bunch of tutorials here on RU-vid about 2 and 3 point perspective and based on that tutorial fill a page, just with boxes. As for the feedback; there are many possibilities to find a group online, of people who want to improve in drawing, artists supporting each other. Places like Reddit, Discord servers or even (urgh) Facebook offer a place for such group. There you could share your work, exchange with others and get feedback :)
Thanks for the info! Currently starting a little hobby project with a friend and there I bet I will learn a lot more things about how unity works and workflow!
I have similar thoughts about this topic. But I am sure that it’s not just a trend. AI will lead us to a technical revolution in many fields. On the one hand I see a lot of good things about it. For example a lot of medical breakthroughs and the possibility to speed up many processes. On the other hand there are a lot of sorrows. Anyways you have to deal with the future somehow. AI development won’t simpy cease because we are afraid. I am a software developer and if I don’t get familiar with AI tools my work will never be competitive. Maybe it will be the same for artists. But people are creative and have a lot of passion. There will always be a place for creative work and jobs. We just have to be open minded :) Also I think a change in the economy is necessary. As with every new technology a lot of jobs will be lost. It’s not an option that most of the people get unemployed and don’t have money to keep the system going. Maybe a solution would be the implementation of a basic income or similar. Then maybe the private funding of kickstarter projects will be even more successful and we have more time to do things we really like. All in all, I am curious to see what the future holds.
I’m glad I watched you do the same thing I did. I put ink back in the well and pulled it out two or three times still never filled it up completely. I’m just not quite sure that mine is a fine nib. It seems rather thick
I guess it's fine to put ink back and forth. I do the same when I use dip pens. I take a bit of ink out of my bottle and put it on a palette, to better dip my pen and if I ever took out to much, before throwing the ink away, I put it back with the eye dropper. So far my drawing ink is just fine :)
„Because Ravens and Vikings go well together“ 😂 love it! However, you’re pretty right - it’s totally fine to texture your bird or animal however you want and birds couldn’t decide if they get feathers or a dress. 🐦 I should paint more birds with a fancy hat again. thanks for the video.
I don't believe that we can convince someone to draw , if you really like something you're gonna do it unintentionally, i once found myself aching to draw and i was in military service so no pen and paper around so i just used a stick and started drawing boxes on sand , now I'm back to civilisation and I'm still drawing, the point is you can't sellout love
Just saw the Huion unboxing and transfer of the tentacle, wondered were the guache painting might be, and here it is :) Endresult looks good. But the paint, wow, that is some thick mud :) I did use Schmincke Academie Guache a long time ago, and did not like it, back then i used it like Watercolor... didn't know how to handle it. It looked bad, grimy with little dots of pigment(?) everywhere. So i never touched guache again for a looooong time. Maybe i should have made a mudbath out of it :D But then i stumble over James Gurney... man this man can paint. And in Guache... amazing.
James gurney is an awesome inspiration! Schmincke is not the best Gouache, true...but s a beginner it is good enough (thereare way worse--- ad I have way worse XD) but yeah. Investing in some Design Grade Gouache is totally worth it, I think. Otherwise it is no fun.

That would be a Zander/ Pikeperch. They are supposed to be a delicacy, but hard to catch for a beginner…maybe even for experienced people. They can mostly be caught at dusk or dawn, so it’s harder to see what you are doing…plus their teeth scare me a bit, to be honest.
That's quite simple, in Photoshop, as well as in many other drawing programs, you have a layer system. You just put your black outlines on one layer and you create a new layer below the outlines layer, to put down your colors. Later you can combine the two layers, if it is easier to handle, but for coloring, always seperate. The parts you can seperate by layer, as you see fit.
Well, I usually just use reference photos when I want it to be anatomically correct. In this case, I did one from a ference photo and the other two I did based on the forms I had used on the first one. If I were to make "drawing anatomy" videos, it could only be in the style of me, learning the same way you do :) I once wanted to make a series where, every weekday I woul draw another bodypart and analyze. Maybe it's time for that.
I have moved since I made this video, so the light shines from a rooftop window now. I also have one Neewer light and a neutral desk light now. Sometimes I have to watch out for changing weather during longer videos thou, because when I set the light setting when it's cloudy and then the sun comes out..it changes the whoooole thing. Would be better off darkening my whole room and just work with fake lights, but I love me some daylight :) I just don't always notice, while I'm drawing... it is a nuisance indeed
