Self Portrait 2020 [Speedpaint] 

THIS IS AMAZINGGG, why you look so sad tho, poor kiwi

I really really like this portrait. It reflects my state of mind recently. Just pouring water on an already dead wilted plant.

[kiwi paints their own disembodied head for a while] is also a mood

Kiwi your art has improved *SO* much through the years, it’s incredible 💕💖

as someone who has been following your work since 2015, i've always loved your self-portraits, as they show just how much you've grown and how amazing an artist you've become. keep up the good work! :-)

Dear Kiwi, As a newcomer in digital illustration, I'm beyond amazed at how you've become so talented with you're art. It seems you know much about drawing on digital and it inspires me to work harder on becoming a better digital artist. From starting out from traditional, it's been hard for me to improve on digital. Everything's just so confusing to me. What I request is maybe you make a video on how to start with digital illustration for beginners? That would mean a lot to me, anyways I just needed to say that you are an AMAZING artist on a road of MANY MANY possibilities and I'm so happy I could come across this video in my recommended. With great love and support, Reya.

This is beautiful, Kiwi! I'm glad to see you've found another hobby that takes away from the stress of school and making art. I'm even more glad that it lead to a beautiful and meaningful painting like this. Wonderful work, can't wait to see what you make next

It's so amazing to see your progress every year! Here's to a 2020 full of growth and improvement!

this looks awesome!! love the perspective

I really love the thought behind this illustration, and the colors you used are absolutely perfect.

Dude! I remember watching you back in 2015. I’m so glad I found your channel again. You’ve improved so much, while still having a recognizable style! This video popped up in my recommendations and I immediately knew it was you. Happy to be back :)

Kiwi, it has been a breathtaking experience watching your art grow. Congratulations on nailing the final so hard, and for making it into an institution most artists can only dream of. Every one of your videos is an absolute inspiration. Whenever I watch one, I am overcome with the desire to practice all night long. Thank you for sharing all these brilliant pieces with us. Watching the process of creation is an absolute pleasure. Sorry if this is too serious, I'm on my third glass of wine lol

I love having the opportunity to see you grow and develop, this looks absolutely amazing, I'm honored to see how much you improve throughout the years

We love you kiwi, don't you ever forget that

Seeing your channel and your work a while ago gave me the direction and idea that I really would like to do lineless art going from rough sketch to more polished painterly style. Didn't exactly get there myself yet, but it's so amazing to see your progression as an artist, and seeing the attention to detail in this piece is awe inspiring.

Damn, love to see the improvement! I like what you did with this one in making it full body with background, too! I think that in itself shows how much you're expanding out and I love it

I have been following ur art for so many years and I am amazed at your pure and raw talent. you are such an inspiration kiwi, thank u

this is an awesome drawing! reading the description gave me a different perspective, focusing too much on one problem will make it worse. i needed that, lately my self-esteem has been dropping more and i feel this is the worst it’s been in years. maybe i shouldn’t try to force it to get better and just work on other things and i’ll start to be happier.

speedpaints are the only thing that can make me sleepy on command (that’s a good thing) your art is very beautiful thank you for helping a loser get to sleep

I've been watching your content for years, and your development is stunning. You were my first online inspiration and you continue to be as I go through art school. This piece is gorgeous conceptually and technically!!

EVERYTIME I watch your videos I get an artgasam ! It’s fly as hell! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩😍😍🤩🤩🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍😍😍😍😍🤩😍🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍😍😍🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🥰🤩

Stunning as always/ I love the composition and the purple green combo.... yum!

The momentum of the water looks almost like a photo; I can feel it pouring out in my hand. I always love the way you use light. Very well done!

AWESOME YOU GO!

Your art feels like sculpting it's so therapeutic

I'm so glad that you did another self portrait. I just love looking at how you're style has evolved over the years😊😊😊😊

hell yeah kiwi!!! youre so inspiring, i get so excited to see these come out 💗

What an amazing piece!

The feeling that this painting gave me... ;; this is incredibly well done and I love how you illustrated your message so well!

Beautiful as always!

You will always be my favorite artist and inspiration! You're so skilled man ❤️❤️❤️

Just beautiful.

Wow :O This is amazing ♥

This is probably my favourite piece out of everything you've created! Love it. ^^

man i havent checked in on this channel for about four years, im so happy seeing how youve improved!!! like holy shit i thought it was good before, but now your perspective, shading, and colouring is just wonderful oh my goodness.

Люблю твое творчество, спасибо за старания 🐾

Whooaaa! Another great art!

this is so gorgeous. well done!!

It’s gorgeous!

this really touched me! such a beautiful art

Great work as always! 😊

Woah! The detail is so good!!

Lovely art as always. I hope you're doing alright Kiwi.

hi kiwi, i found your channel when i was in 6th grade and i just wanted to say u were one of my biggest inspirations. I just finished 10th grade, and its been amazing watching you grow.

I've been watching you make art for a long time now and I'm just absolutely stunned by your process and really thankful you make speedpaints! I'm going into senior year and it's my dream to go to SCAD, so I've got to improve as much as possible in the following year. I find it really helpful to study the way you bring out values and show the planes of the forms your painting, thank you!!

Really hope you got a good score, since this was a final, and an incredible one at that. Love the style, colors, and thought behind the piece

Oh, it's so beautiful! I just love such detailed backgrounds! It's so realistic to think it's a photo:D

Omg, is so beautiful

this is so beautiful i love your art so much

This is so pretty!!

this is some beautiful rendering this is so beautiful

Holy crap this is amazingg!!! you just keep getting better and better! ^^ great job!!

I think I’m in love 😍

This must be my favourite portrait you've made so far

Every year it gets better! ❤️

I love it! Your art is absolutely beautiful uwu

You did the face in greyscale to add color on top of the shading and that's magical af because it was like watching a sculptur giving life to a statue

i love this piece sm,,,, random aside tho, does anyone know kiwi's pronouns? i've been looking through their socials but i cant seem to find them and i wanna use the right ones!!

Kiwi is so beautiful 😭💖💖💖💖

This is incredible. I think it's my favourite art of yours.

Omggg looking so good, digging the hair btw

you're on a whole another level it seems?? like i didn't think making something like this was humanly possible?? also i legit started crying when you drew the little guy being watered the hell out of

Bruhhh i didnt even know you went to SCAD and you're one of my fav art RU-vidrs... I used to go to the one in ATL, but i had to stop because i was having a hard time and money is tight.

Wooo another year!!

Such a cool concept and BEAUTIFUL execution!! This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I’ve never been more impressed with RU-vid’s recommended ❤️❤️❤️

So beautifulllll

absolutely adore your style kiwi! never thought i'd find my doppel ganger either lmao

i love ur art this is-----

AWESOME!!

really expresive and face detailed

Perspective and skill definitely on point, only critique I could give is that the boot in the foreground needed to be darker. The closer to the foreground an object is, the higher it's contrast should be to appear closest to the viewer, otherwise the depth is thrown off. I enjoy the saturation of the potted plant compared to the rest, but with that boot lacking shadow depth, it's confusing to the eye which is closer. Again, beautiful piece, just passing along something that has helped me in my own art.

it looks. like something in. a music video. and i lov eit

I got so much to learn

kiwi watering their plants: "take a fuckin sip, babes"

cute!!!!

amazing

:o

I also picked up plants as an hobby outside of art! I really do love my carnivorous babies, but I sometimes have to stop myself from over caring and accidentality harming the plants. Also who doesnt want a monstera in their collection...but they do be expensive...however I've found a smaller breed and I'll maybe order that one

😍🍀🍀

this is so beautiful omg but you look so sad :( ily kiwi

Love the art, its so beautiful but aaaaa thats too much water for the plant, its stressing me out!

When you realize it’s possible to be too good at art:

hope you're doing okay. 🌱

this artist is so amazing it's almost overwhelmingly so. like the art looks almost real but still looks somewhat not hyper realistic? like the coloring looks so real but not?? im probably not making sense and its because of how baffled i am at the skills the artist has and the lack of views (which at the time im writing this is 16K which is a lot but not enough)

Reminds me of a 2000s book cover

Damn that’s a floaty head

YOOO HOLY SHIT THIS SLAPS

AYO, hi Kiwi, I'm also Kiwi :D

Hi Kiwi I was wondering what kind of computer do you recommend for digital art? I'm getting a surface pro 4 soon do you think that'll be good for speedpaints? Love your art btw

Omg such great improvement. what do you use to edit you speed drawings

Woah!!!! That's amazing! Question how fast do you have it going? x8 speed? x16?

It took me a BIT too long to register this was a drawing because when you moved the head a bit, I was like NO DON'T DECAP- oh yeah it's a drawing-

Ohhhh dem those details so beautiful But why are you sad

2:04

thats a huge ass bottle

WHERE I CAN FIND THIS ART???

UGH FUCK I WISH I WAS AS HANDSOME/BEAUTIFUL/CUTE/AAAAAAA AS YOU
