(EDIT: For the comps I'm using CANSON mix media paper, not Strathmore, oops!) Stay-tuned for Part 2! Though that might be a little while from now... I have a few things to do before I can start actually painting X'D. Thanks for watching!

Very impressive! I'm so happy to see so much dedication in your process; seems I've been stuck in a world where the planning is hidden so it's "not as important" so it's rushed and neglected. Also that you're taking the time to do value and color comps traditionally is so refreshing, treating each part of the process with care. Thanks for sharing!

You draw in a very classical Disney way. All your sketches look like Golden Age Disney sketches from the 30-50's.

I bet that you can make an art book with the amount of drawings and art comps you do.

@dominique9109 5 лет назад

I get bored easily and I also don't have a lot of energy. So if a painting of mine doesn't get done within a few hours or at most, a day then I just move on to something else. So as I would love to plan out my illustrations like you do, because I believe my illustrations would turn out better in the long run, it's too many steps (for me) and I would just get frustrated that I haven't finished a piece within a few hours.

@bossbabypaints 4 года назад

yatta factory I cannot spend more than an hour on planning I start dying

@misslyntheena 5 лет назад

And then there’s me. Not planning at all.

@WiWillemijn 5 лет назад

Same But that means I can learn

@huyenly7603 5 лет назад

Right! Team Just Winging It. I should probably plan more on big pieces...

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

nothing wrong with that! wish I could jump into my pieces more and be more spontaneous too XD

@misslyntheena 5 лет назад

Chris Hong Art aww that’s funny, I think I need to plan more. It’s probably bc of you personality type. Do you know yours? (The MBTI one I mean ☺️)

@monikaramgopal7307 5 лет назад

🤣

@beckyholt 5 лет назад

This leave no one in doubt of your professional attitude to creating beautiful illustrations. The walk through was eye opening for a lot of people who perhaps imagined you did just one take and that was that. It certainly gives your customers a window into how hard you work to present them with amazing products. Thank you for sharing.

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

aw that means a lot to me, thank you so much 😭❤️

@vickyrockzful 5 лет назад

You explain it so well.Thanks for sharing your process.I think i'll incorporate your methods in my workflow from now on ,because i never plan before i paint ,i just blindly jump in.Which makes me quit so often.

@lenaartse7652 5 лет назад

You are so insightful but also fun to listen to that this video is educational in the nicest way possible

@marshalepage5330 Год назад

It's obvious you are able to see flaws in your work than no one but you can see. Your work looks like perfection in cartoon art.

@muchosfabos1 Год назад

All the "complete process" videos on RU-vid seem to start from the point where idea, composition and even values have already been figured out, which leaves out some of the most challenging, interesting parts! So I'm super grateful for this video. Beautiful!

@somethinguncreative 5 лет назад

I was doin' alright and then you got to the value comps and I lost my mind. Those are some pretty incredible skills.

@petitknightcreations7431 3 года назад

This was incredibly informative! It's the first time I've seen a process that incorporates scanning the thumbnails, cleaning them and then printing them onto paper for value tests and colour comps! It's certainly a really good way to feel things out and reduce the risks of being dissatisfied whilst painting the final piece. It does make for a longer prep phase though. I'll definitely try this out on my own, and see what I can use! Thanks for sharing this video!

@kreativekatevlog 3 года назад

Wow.... wish I had this kind of patience and perseverance. I guess that’s why I am where I am, nowhere 🤷‍♀️ and you are where you are. This is amazing. I really need to knuckle down and take more time planning.

@DrowningArrows 5 лет назад

That is so cool. I realized that I'm such a lazy artist lol. Those were so many steps, I've never done that for anything I've ever drawn... would explain a lot of things 😂 Thanks for the inside look, it was very informative

@argoset1078 5 лет назад

It's amazing to understand the amount of planning that goes in to each painting! Thank you!

@misslyntheena 5 лет назад

23:39 damn this is so small and you can draw so many details in such contrast. I love this 🤭

@EricGornicki 5 лет назад

This video is one of the most interesting videos about creating art I've seen on youtube! Your skills are amazing and gosh, talk about dedication to make a piece come to life! I really enjoyed going through all the steps, from thumbnailing to the different pose studies and the value comps. Thanks for sharing this with us!

@draw-till-death3510 5 лет назад

The value and color comp are something that I must do from now on. That's so smart and time saving to do before painting, I love it!

@naomisenekal9216 5 лет назад

Hi Chris, great video, I just realised this is what I suck at, I want to draw a few guidelines and jump right into painting...skipping the entire planning phase. I never knew so much planning goes on behind the scenes. Thanks gor sharing!! X

@kingdraboy6 5 лет назад

I love how all the comps look together with the sketches. Makes the process work seem like a story! Thank you for sharing!

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

it really is a journey, the painting process! XD

@artbytruly2199 5 лет назад

This was so informative. I actually got really frustrated when I was drawing tonight but seeing this made me feel better in that editing, fine tuning and starting over is just a part of the process. I never do thumbnails, I usually just go right in and draw but in seeing your process I think it's a way better idea to plan things out first. And seeing this picture inspired me to do something similar with having an actual environment for a character to be in. I never done a picture like that so I'm excited to try it and see what happens! :) I would love to see more videos like this! I'm in a place where I'm drinking in as much artistic information as I can to better my skills and creative process! :D So much love and unicorn magic! Kai

@CheekyAdorable 5 лет назад

I kinda loved when you were switching out the character poses. It just blended a little to feel like she was moving around.

@nicolechacon6654 5 лет назад

Wow this is amazing. I’ve never seen anyone going through such process, it’s so much dedication and I love it. Only if I put as much effort in my paintings! Also, you explain so well everything, it’s really motivational

@coline8026 5 лет назад

Wow the amount of time and care you put in every step of the process is impressive! Definitely inspires me be more dedicated to the process as well as you make it seem as important as the final!

@theartofreid6426 5 лет назад

@puparchive 5 лет назад

Chris! Your videos have helped me in ways i didnt even know could be helped?? You remind me a lot about myself; sometimes overthinking things, sometimes not having enough confidence, sometimes giving up. But seeing you THINK through it and NOT give up inspires me to do the same 💖 so thank you so much for your videos and i wish you the most success!!! 💖💖💖

@Waynimations 5 лет назад

Thumbnails are one of my favorite things to look at

@kevinorrart7367 5 лет назад

No one on RU-vid makes a better video then you Chris! Your explanations are just incredible.

@donkeylambtaxi8725 5 лет назад

The amount of detail in the commentary was really useful! It made me think about how rushed my own process is and how I could definitely afford to slow down and think more about composition and lighting. Thanks :)

@JaneBeata 5 лет назад

I am glad you filmed this - it is very helpful. I admire how thoughtful you are about your paintings, I never spent so much time planning. Now I am convinced and inspired I need to spend much more time on explorations, it seems to be worth it.

@blushingcat2767 5 лет назад

Yes!!! Thank you so much for showing your process with such detail! Excited for part 2!

@myartpixie 5 лет назад

Your process is so refined! I usually just draw an idea 1-3 times. I like how you worked out the focal point and really thought it through. It shows in the final piece. Lovely!

@abbigailclark1156 5 лет назад

Same... Haha

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

I guess I'm comparing myself to some other artists who seem to do A LOT more than I do 😂😂 everyone has a different process though, I wish I could plan less and jump straight into it more tbh! I'm way too indecisive for that though :/

@heartgore3087 2 года назад

I keep coming back and rewatching this video! So helpful and motivating. Thank you for sharing your process

@MandaPanda254 5 лет назад

Everytime I watch you draw thumbnails in your videos it brings such strong joy to my heart, they are so full of life and happiness, absolutely love seeing you create these beautiful little sketches ❤

@emgdim 5 лет назад

This is easily one of my fave videos. Thank you for this!

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

thanks for watching! happy to hear that ❤️☺️

@carlabernadmedina4145 5 лет назад

All this Process is incredible. I really would like to do that imagination and your ability to put in the drawing all those tiny details. Awesome, it feels easy to do it. I really enjoyed watching all the process.

@jamong1087 5 лет назад

If you did your colour comps on a layer in photoshop you could experiment with your palette more/faster and save a fortune in the drafting paper!

@pablobarrios7681 5 лет назад

Yeah, but by doing it with Gouache she practices how to do the washes, gradients and other Technics she would use in the final illustration, but yes, the Photoshop trick is really useful, and economic! You should watch Mateusz Urbanowicz's RU-vid channel, he paints watercolor landscapes and anime backgrounds, and he does color comps in Photoshop

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

I find I'm much slower in general when doing anything on photoshop ^^ and like Pablo said, by using gouache I'm basically going through all the motions of doing the final painting so it's like a little practice run, so I find it really helpful ^^

@sweetycat6623 5 лет назад

You do so much of planning for your artworks. It's brilliant and beautiful. This video was a real treat. Thanks.

@renr9769 5 лет назад

This was so incredibly helpful, I can't thank you enough for showing such an absolutely in depth look at thumb nailing. I used to just leap into a final drawing so often, I felt like I only needed to do a couple poses and boom I was ready to go but being able to go back and watch stuff like this really helps me slow down and know not only is it okay to do several takes of the same pose, it's encouraged. I don't paint but I have a feeling doing value studies and color comps will be a big help too. Thank you so much! Beautiful work.

@미루-p9n 5 лет назад

Thank you so much to show everyting that you struggles when you draw pictures. It really helpful to me how to plan drawing. You are so honest and kind. I truly love your works.

@mattwood3436 5 лет назад

Watching this makes me wish I could have worked with you in my studio for the last 20 years. I know it sounds amazing but watching how you moved through this piece and made your decisions along the way is something that I've always wished I knew how to do and I've always wanted to observe because in my line of work (editorial illustration) the trick was always FAST FAST FAST and then it was onto the commission, landing the next piece. I literally never learned to move through work like this carefully... and I feel like my art has really suffered because of it. I am shaking off the dust from the last 20 years and relaunching my career in all new ways. This video was a great help and it has been a huge light for me... thank you x 1,000,000! Liked and subbed! :)

@zelnarisurana2991 3 года назад

Excited for part II. Love your process!

@linzertube 5 лет назад

This video was another excellent view into your planning and execution of a piece. And, I appreciated the bonus of seeing your digital process. I also liked seeing the state of your paint palette with all the colours melded into a mash in the background, which is something that was hidden from our view on your actual drawing. It’s a lovely composition and choice of colours.

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

the colours all mashed up together is a result of me never cleaning my palette 😂😂 but works for me haha thanks for watching! glad to hear you got some things out of it ❤️

@OhMegamanky 5 лет назад

I love your drawings. You use up space so well . Every curve shares important information and the gestures are so beautiful!

@mussoletart8485 5 лет назад

This is one of the most helpful art videos I have ever seen! Thank you so much for recording it all, and for showing how much every step is worth it to create a more interesting and better final piece.

@Yurup 5 лет назад

@Angela10277088 5 лет назад

It was awesome learning about your process! Thank you for making this video. It was helpful to see how I could learn from your process. I am not sure I even have a process, so this was cool.

@hollydoodler 5 лет назад

this was a really fun watch. I feel like I learned a lot about the way you think- I think I need to start doing value studies as well as colour comps because I need to get better at values. Wonderful video.

@irismuddyhehe 5 лет назад

hey I love that you made this video, it really helps show people how much we think about our art, try and try again, and how it's not magical or instant. :) your thought process and efforts all throughout are so interesting and helpful!!!

@takemetoyonk 5 лет назад

I've never seen a process done or articulated in this way. Thanks for posting and using that vocal brain you got

@Omer-or8pg 5 лет назад

your process is so helpful to look at, and really inspires me to go out and practice even more. I think your process showcases just how important it is to be patient and allow yourself for a good product, or at least one you learn a lot from, from taking the time to learn and apply your knowledge of value, color, comp, etc. in order to get the result you want even if doing all the variations is a bit time consuming. Excellent work. I'm definitely so inspired to go out and do a lot of these kinds of studies/applications to my personal work! I really love your stuff--I follow you on social media, but had no idea you also had a youtube channel... really happy it was put in my suggestions, lol

@bisamalote 5 лет назад

@PampdArt 5 лет назад

Thank you for sharing your planning process! It reminded me that I should do more thumbnails and different lighting scenarios for my own work. 😅 Also your videos always inspire me so I had to save this one for the morning thus giving it the full attention it deserves. Can't wait to see the finished piece!

@ritabansal4887 5 лет назад

Really really very impressive piece of art 😊😊😊😊 I am loving this art and probably the second one is going to be an awesome one

@JimTamsey 5 лет назад

@markodjukic8165 5 лет назад

Amazing video!!! 😍 Thank you Chris, for sharing your planning process. Can't wait to see final painting and more videos like this. It is so difficult for me to plan good composition and character poses. You do it so fast and easy, it is art for itself. I love all the thumbs, especially one with nose in painting 😁

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

haha I'm not sure I do it so fast, or even easily, but thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoy seeing all of it ☺️

@kkriseidraws 2 года назад

i find it hard to make thumbnails. most of the times, the image itself stretches in an unlikely way everytime i try to repeat it, maybe because I haven't seen much things in the world to add up interesting stuff in my piece that it became too boring and limited. I've learned a lot in this video! I will definitely try this after my artblock stage (it sucks!)

@OwliSketches 5 лет назад

Super cute and very informative, thank you

@beccab3446 5 лет назад

I never this detail when I made a drawing but I always enjoyed your process. Somehow you always succeed in making all your drawings come to live, that's what I enjoyed the most. Even your rough sketches with pencils, it all looked so alive as if you put souls in your character as you draw. My character is just a 2d drawing while yours, it's a 3d and alive. How to do that? I'm a fan

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

thank you so much! I think it's helped by years and years of life-drawing (nude figure drawing), as well a big hobby of mine was to go cafe-sketching (drawing people out and about), and so I'm familiar with the natural gesture and expressions people make :) and it prob comes from my animation background, which its' purpose is to "capture life" ^^

@rateixarte 5 лет назад

Definitely help me figured out my own planing process, I feel that I'm doing a lot of the same and i have to explore more! Thank You! It's amazing!!! 💛

@vitorcampos3427 5 лет назад

@lauren-dawn2082 5 лет назад

Wow this is so lovely to watch an so helpful, honestly think this could have been like a skillshare class or something, it’s so well laid out and explained... I’d love to see the final piece being painted if that’s something you’d want to share too 🙂... I’ve studied art for years and I honestly feel like I learned more watching this video than in my courses that I’ve taken, I’m going to give planning my pieces a go because I literally never do it, the thought makes me anxious but now I think it’ll be worth it 😊

@mochitwa 5 лет назад

This is so interesting! Thanks for sharing! Never heard of someone doing the shading and light comps... makes so much sense

@Halo2glitchlover22 5 лет назад

Can’t wait to see how this turns out. I really love this and I’m hoping you release prints of this tbh, this scenario is touchingly reminiscent of one my last days with my cat before she passed away. I was working on a drawing assignment while just a few feet away she layed on my large Masonite board that had one of my drawings on it.

@ChrisHongArt 5 лет назад

oh my gosh that breaks my heart 😭 I really hope this turns out the way I want it to, if then yes I will be making prints! thanks so much for watching and sharing your story❤️

@Halo2glitchlover22 5 лет назад

Chris Hong Art Thank you!! 😄 I hope it turns out how you want it to! You’re one of my favorite artists 😊 ⭐️ Good luck!
