Art Vlog #1 - Sorta Sketchy

[guairm]

The sketch book is so important, i always refer to mine as the book of experiments as they never resemble what actually appears on the canvas. I love your work and it's great to see an artist so open about their work on you tube.

[AcademyArtVenture]

so true, some sketches don't turn into anything, but it's so important to sketch all the time, even though most of the sketches won't turn into anything - but you can always learn something new from past work, you are such a good teacher!!

[parade]

I love you, lady.

[Sapphirevale]

I don't normally sketch so I'll show my work instead ^^

[paulcumes]

That's the worst feeling when you realize you forgot to clean your brushes!

Awesome sketches by the way :)

[blaketheawesomedude]

wow, wish i had skills like that, i mostly work with pottery and metal doing tools mostly but i try to make the occasional sculpture , but i thought it would be cool to do a timelapse of some of my vases taking shape and wondered what kind of software you use to do your timelapse vids?

[amillionfaces]

Thanks!

[yixiazi]

Great vid and artwork style. You have some beautiful north light in your studio eh? I need to take a few days off to paint in the daylight like that. Looks fun.

[amillionfaces]

I actually moved my studio a few months back and I get even better light than back then now. :)

[JennyBergvall]

Such a cool style!!

[TheSubstituteChoice]

You are very talented:)

[msdragonfly1]

where did you get your sketch book, what kind is it?

[amillionfaces]

It was custom made for me by Etsy user "candlemark" who does bookbinding. I don't think she has any books up right now, but you can definitely send her a PM on Etsy to see if she could make you one.

[msdragonfly1]

thank you so much for the help :D

[iHannaNow]

Love your sketchbook and your sketches, thanks for sharing this! I have a couple of books too, but I don't draw very much more collage and such. :-)

[jspen2]

Fantastic video and journal... loved this.

[groovyholly]

Great video! I love your style. I'm even more impressed that you uploaded this video on my birthday! That song is awesome too. Is the band an indie band?

[amillionfaces]

:) Thanks

[RoyalGenius]

Hi, can i adopt you as my little sister?

[amillionfaces]

haha.. sure!

[monicatlink]

You are a great artist! I love your sketch book, I think it´s a piece of art of it´s own! Great song!

[creativeboho]

oh i really adore your unique style......very compelling! Hey....how do you make the double images like that? I have pinnacle editing system........can i do it in that?

thanks,

love violette

[amillionfaces]

I'm not sure about Pinnacle.. I've never used it. :/ I use the mirror effect in iMovie.

[tyakelly]

that would look awsone on a 30x40 canvas

[amillionfaces]

I have it on a 24x36. :)

[hbuchholzartworks]

Fun video! Not sure if I'd be brave enough to show my sketchbook!

I once brought a brush back to life that I inheirited from my grandfather, that was dried upwith oil paint...I soaked it in linseed oil for about a week then used "the masters" brush cleaner and preserver (original b&j). Might be worth a try? Mighta been dumb luck but, I still use the brush!

[amillionfaces]

Thanks for the tip! Right now I have them soaking in laundry detergent (believe it or not, it's what I use to clean my brushes.. works wonders and it's so much nicer smelling than solvents!) It's worked on some others that this happened to, but not for all of them. Your way may be worth a try.

[JaneKenoyer]

Oh man I hate it when favorite brushes dry out!

Love your sketch book, that binding is very cool. Does it expand?

You have inspired me.. I should did mine out one day. I like your video!

[amillionfaces]

Argh. I've tried to post a reply to this comment like three times and it just won't work. Hopefully this time it'll stick...

I love the binding on my sketchbook! It allows me to lay the book totally flat to draw across two pages, unlike traditional binding. This one doesn't expand but I'm planning to ask the woman who made this for me to make me an accordion style one once this is full. :)
