PROFESSIONAL ARTIST vs a 'CHILDRENS' Coloring Book..? - Disney Princess 

Thank you so much to Displate to Sponsoring today's video, Get your very own Displate Here - displate.com/adcart Or use my Discount Code - ADCART

Thank you for giving up. I feel so guilty when I stop enjoying colouring a certain picture (adult colouring book) and just turn the page and start a new one. It's a relief that a professional has done it too.

This is something that the RU-vid art community needs more of! The realities of being an artist like pieces not working out, it being ok to give up (or even take a long break before going back), that there’s always an ugly phase (sometimes there’s multiple of them through one piece’s process), etc. ❤

Strong believer in the “ you learn more by failing than you do by winning”, if everything goes right then great but, if it goes wrong that’s where you learn. You learn what went wrong and how to not make that mistake again and how to fix it if you do, it’s also how you learn work arounds and even new techniques. Don’t get me wrong, screwing up a piece of art after several hours of work sucks, but for example learning you can push markers bleed back using the clear blender feels like magic…….just never give up art, that’s the only time you really fail

I was so happy to see (and view) this video. I use colouring books to take a break and to try new media. When I first started using markers, I used a colouring book to try to learn how to blend and what not. I LOVE COLOURING BOOKS!

I love that you show that art isn't always perfect, and that's ok!

I'm nearly 40 and I love colouring. It is relaxing 😊

My pencil work is always on point but my ability to color always turns out like this, that's what I like about coloring books, there is no risk for something you worked hard on, only the reward of pulling it off and getting better as you do so you can go back to that drawing with more confidence

It kind of makes you realize how many times when artists in different fields like comic books, concept developers, or any other medium just gives up on what they're working on and moves on to something else. One thing I remember is from a video companion to the book "How to Draw the Marvel Way" where Stanley was telling about what the editor wants. The picture was starting to look like it was taking place in Ariel's secret cave of treasures. I think the black and white pages are images that were traced or made in a program but they just stuck what image that closely look like it. The other book I think was just used for color reference and not the same image.

You're so goofy but in a good way! Always brightens up my day to see you having fun 🤣

Thank you for being honest and sharing the struggles of art.

Yes! The pacing/editing in this video (especially with the recent Temu episode) are such an improvement! The humor is balanced better with the topic being discussed; it doesn't feel forced or contrived. Plus the message you delivered is really refreshing to hear. Making Art should be enjoyable, and that it's okay to not finish a piece at times if you're not happy with it. Thank you for this.

I think alot of people needed to see this happen. Me included. Its easy to get worked up trying to fix things and tainting a project to be less enjoyable. Knowing even the most skilled of professionals will take a step back from time to time is very reasurring for someone who's essentially still learning and figuring out what suits what styles. You continue to teach and inspire my friend. I hope you realise how much you help people with lessons such as these. And a great video still, i cant wait to show the kids. 😁

Why's this dude not popular yet?? (also I love your videos holy shit)

I like seeing you add the pencils over the top. It has been a while since I have seen you do it. I think it actually looks really good and the pencils creates a really nice depth to it. Her hair looks great, maybe a little too many darks on the face, but that's all.

I truly wanted you to do the Evil Queen with the Apple, that looked like an awesome drawing

I love how humble and honest you are but also remarkably talented. You make me laugh good sir.

So great that you stopped. You gave permission to you and therefore to everyone watching. ❤

I’m 22 and I keep my roommate company while she does her college work online and while we’re watching her 3+ hour long videos we both using kids coloring books to keep us occupied. They’re simple enough that they don’t take too much attention and they’re honestly just more fun than the “adult” coloring books

I think it's good that you showed this side of art so then Young artists don't get the impression "of oh yes I can draw whenever I want or whatever blah blah blah" but thank you for showing the side of art I know art is not normally sunshine and rainbows

Ariel looked so good until the pencils!! 😭 now you've got to try another princess using markers only 😏

Have a wonderful day and like your style of art and I have form clay to try.

Being able to fail at a piece of artwork, laugh about it, and move on is amazing! I think too often artists beat themselves up over things not going to plan (I, myself, am guilty of it). Thanks for demonstrating the right way to handle things. Keep creating and thank you for the video 🎨🖌

Wow it's like you've just read my mind, I'm going through some creative blockage and starting to feel depressed about it... Thank you so much for this video, I really needed this ❤

Love your new space ADC! ❤❤❤

Thank you very much for this video. It's honestly... reassuring? .. that you have the same kinds of trouble I do sometimes. It's OK for it not to be perfect. The comment about mistakes being consistent across the piece also felt good - because i've definitely turned errors into aesthetic by process of stubbornness :) Thank you for the video! I truly did enjoy it.

Great positive video, I’m really liking the new format! Great job man, keep it up

I really appreciate the message, as it takes the pressure off. I had a failure earlier today and I ended up cutting out the parts I liked to maybe do a collage later.

Thats actually a really sick style, you can make a extremely good looking skeleton theme with this exact style

I gasped at how real you are , subscribed

Loved this video... the initial marker'ing (?) and the music in the back just watching you color was perfect... slowly getting back to your roots and I'm here for it!

Thank loads 😊 I love all sorts of colouring books. Even some of the best ones I've bleeped up in and given up. Used to call it fail not anymore 😊👍

I loved the video, your vibe and energy, the process and even giving up :)

ADCArtattack I'm surprised you have not came our with your own coloring book. I know I would and and a lot of others would buy it. Love ya man.

Being honest and failing just makes me enjoy your videos more Anthony. Failing makes us human. I color for my mental health. Im ama,ed everytime I finish a large piece and I,get better. The only way to truly learn art of any kind is to have fun and make mistakes.

08:32 The bags around Flounder’s eyes are giving mine a run for their money. 😵‍💫

I really liked the video and it’s really nice to see you happy. Also to be enjoying what you are doing the new studio is very nice. Also thank you letting us know that it is ok to give up sometimes. I have taking a break from drawing and colouring but am going to go back to it. I want to do some Nigthmare before Christmas drawing and try my luck at cars.

that is the most professionally ugly thing i have seen in my life, lol! omg, i thought flounder was hilarious, but then you REALLY put the ugly in ariel, i cant even handle this! i love this

Your videos are always encouraging. I just got a whole bunch of coloring books to just mindlessly color in not worrying about how pretty it looks. It doesn't have to be perfect like my own art. Ps your flounder can't be much more worse than the realistic creepy flounder in the live action film

Good to see you buddy. Great to see you smiling. ;) \mL

It's still better than I can do. I'm still getting better and doing my research. Ya, I gave up on my most recent artwork for my channel, I was very stressed. Stress and art are like oil and water. I hope you're having a wonderful day. 😁 Edit... Lol, I put homemade jump-scares in the end of some of my videos.😂

Thanks for being real - personal! I’ve watched you for a while. See you next time 😅

OMG!!! DISPLATE?!?!?! Ive wanted to get some of them for a long while now! Im SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Thanks for making one of these videos again. As a "colourist" its nice to see it being promoted. Looking good bud! Trying to get back to twitch soon. Hope all is well! Love that chaos shirt! See ur using all ur temu stuff!

I remember this on one of your twitch streams, I was the one who wished u a happy b'day from Sydney.

the next episode is trying to use an eraser to remove the coloring pencils and trust me as long as they are oil base it can be cleaned well

Hullo Anthony, thanks for sharing this video with us! I have used “not the best paper” before and I have found that sometimes you can add tooth to your paper by spraying a workable fixative onto the picture in progress. If you must “rescue” the picture! Sometimes you cannot throw away your work. I have set some “failures” aside to work on later and discovered a way to finish well! Other times it is shredded as some things are not meant to last. I am also a person who scans linework just to have a safe copy should I wreck it during the coloring stage. I have worked as an inker and as a colorist keeping a good record of your work can be a job saver when a project goes bad and management is looking for someone to blame! As a colorist we were often given a master color map,(kinda Like your small examples in the coloring book that does not match the to be colored image) sometimes you get color names with a map to insure that your work matches throughout the project/book/movie! These jobs have mostly moved to Korea or similar low wage countries. I have heard of a few independent jobs in the good ol’ USA but not recently. Well enough of my nattering you be well and take care. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas and thoughts in this video.

I would love to see you try this again but use a blending pencil or stump with the colored pencils! I've used Prisma (I'm horrible with markers lol) my whole life and the blenders can make a world of difference, over markers too and especially in coloring books. You might want to try it with a book that uses at least half decent paper but yeah... 😊

Good to know I’m not the only one that thinks this way.

yay coloring book is back now we need "how to draw" and we're back

This is so refreshing. 😊

Anthony trying to cope hard there haha I'm glad you decided to admit it didn't turn out good and show us the process instead of just doing a different picture and pretending that this never happened! It happens to the best of us! You're still an amazing artist!

Failure is is only a problem if it stops you. Fail forward sir!!!

Loved the video your energy really shows you look happy. when arts not fun give up do something else, I like how you show us the good and the sometimes bad in art.

Thanks for being real.

Always great content so educational and fun thank you 😊❤

You should do a Tim Burton theme for Disney Princesses ☺️

Well…that’s reality. You try an experiment, and…it goes south. It’s a common enough occurrence that they have sayings about it: don’t throw good money after bad, don’t reinforce defeat, quit while you’re ahead. I’m sure there’s more. If you are doing this for fun, it’s easy - move on to something that is fun. Maybe you simply learned that on that particular paper, pencils aren’t going to work. Or maybe those particular pencils aren’t going to work. Do you have others? Try those! Different coloring books? Frustrated? Go for a bike ride! Maybe come back and see if you can salvage it - you may learn something in the process. Sometimes determination pays off. And sometimes it’s just doomed because the materials are incompatible. And sometimes, the process itself was entertaining. So thanks, ADC!

😂😂this is how i would color 😂

Love watching you.❤

Displates are expensive for being misleading They claim the images are printed on metal. The images are not printed on metal. The images are printed on a paper that WRAPS AROUND the metal plate... The metal plate is just the sturdy material used to keep the paper/image tight and not slacked or anything. Cool designs, sleek, but the images are not printed directly on metal even though Displate claims as the gimmick that the images ARE directly onto the metal; which is misleading

Perfection!!!!

Sometimes you have to give up or do something again. I also decided to recycle some of my cards cause I never would use them as they are. There are just some old challenge works and now I would do some Things differently

Are you okay ADC? I know you were going through something emotional, but I hope you're doing okay:)

I’m 48 and I love coloring.

Love the channel and love this video

Really enjoyed the video

Ah!!! You got me this that jump scare. 😂 Congratulations on all the sponsorship deals. I hope they're bringing in a steady flow of income. I'm not gonna lie, it's kinda weird seeing you in a different studio, but change in good. I hope you're settling in alright.

lion king is hamlet with animals. thats perfection not childish :o)

Coloring is fun and good for artist block. Just looked and I have around 34 coloring books. Didn't know I had this many. 😝🤪🤣 And some are 'children's' coloring books, like 5. 😂

I guess Ariel didn't want to be part of your world

Love the video ❤

@ADCArtAttack I don’t expect you to make a masterpiece every time you do a video, but I do expect more art, less talking unless the talking is during us seeing art and less of you always advertising something. With love because I love your work. But with tough love because you are starting to feel more like a plug-in for things ppl probably don’t care about or came to your channel to see.

My only thing that im bumbed about is ariel was my favourite princess as a kid so i would have loved to see it but totally get that have to walk away and leave it if its starting ti hurt
