 And we are live! Hey, back to the primitive. Hey, what is going to be for today? I don't know what is going to be for today. You will help me decide what is going to be for today. That's at least a general idea. Hey, leafy. Summon the cum. Hi, Jimmer Jammer. Jimmer Jam Crate. I always say Jimmer Jammer. Do I know what is going to be for today? Yes. Hey, sir. Can I draw a fairy? Perhaps. Hi. Do I, John? I am here to what I miss. Nothing. Draw a terror. No. Hey, hey. How are you feeling? Me, me, me, me. Me, me, me, me. That's how I am feeling. Hello, Mona. Got to say that I won't be able to watch the whole live today, but I will watch as long as I can. Yes. And the lives will be up in the archive as well. Of course. So, let me just start. Dujan. I don't know what that is. Leviathan. What languages do you speak, sir? Norwegian, English, and I am trying to learn Spanish. Draw a little guy called me, me, me, me, me, me. That I can perhaps do. We'll see. We'll see. First, I have to try to pay the bills because I make a living out of this. Free art that you can download and you can copy and print and even sell is what I make a living from. So, we got a couple of things to say. First of all, you can become a YouTube member and get cool green letters in your name. And also, I will soon be releasing some longer videos and they will be available for early access for those who are members. Otherwise, you can support by supporting on patreon.com slash Kim Holm. Or you can go to den unge her Holm, where I just uploaded. Go to den unge her Holm. Go to den unge her Holm.com where I just uploaded the inktober is pinktober art 31 pieces. And they're all our cheapest pieces. So for all of November, the inktober or pinktober art will be sold for, I think it's $139 each, which is quite a lot cheaper than most of our original. So let's turn the camera around and also say, oh, this one is going to be for a video that is probably going to piss people off. Because right now I'm in my pissing people off with the face of the year, I guess. Not too long ago, I told the professor about what the club did. They wrote a board and made fun of him. They all acted like a narcite, even though that sounds like a shitty situation. Long time fan joining from San Francisco Bay Area. Skipping American politics sucking no matter the party. Yeah, and more broadly, you know, politics sucking. But yes, this drawing was specifically for the Americans. And probably I will release the video for it, which is done tomorrow. Today I did a video that was not political and just as I thought it doesn't seem to be doing great because the algorithm is probably pushing it out to all the people that are arguing and bickering and quarreling and fighting on my Palestine videos and on my Jordan Peterson videos. And on my Lucifer videos still. So probably the algorithm doesn't know what to do with today's video, but that's okay. Tour of your workspace. Oh no, you wouldn't want that. This is the mess I work in. Don't tell anyone. You rightist or leftist. Anarchist. So leftist, but not leftist in the sense of mainstream politics. Organized chaos. Not so much. I mean, of all the things I wish I learned from Jordan Peterson, cleaning my room would be number one. Oh, right. Me. The hand you are using to write. I'm left handed. Thank you, Leafy, for sending me 35 SAR. We put on a 1.1 meter puff adder snake skin in our storeroom. Can you do something snake themed? Yes, I can do something snake themed. How shall we approach something snake themed? Okay, let us. Let us snake it up. How do we snake it up? Lefty politically and hand-wise. Snake metaphorically. Well, we could, but I just want to draw a snake. Is that too much to ask? So it was left handed, but taught in school to be right handed. And that isn't, that used to be extremely common. Let's do more of a dragon than a snake. And then the legend here in South Africa is of the Grootslang. It's an elephant snake combo. How would you interpret it? I need to research that. So right now I would love to do Quetzalcoatl again. Quetzalcoatl again. But I would love to do the Grootslang. But I need to research those things in order not to mess it up. Okay, so I'm probably not going to do any of that. I'm probably just going to do a snake-em-a-thing. Ooh, we have a visitor. Do you want to be on camera? We have a visitor. We have a very exclusive visitor today. It is Mando the Mandolin. This is the way. What do you have? Do you have any questions for the Mandalorian chat? Who says the chat? So what is your favourite direction to walk in? This is the way. What are you expecting? Mando, is your aim good? Better than Stormtroopers. It is, but that's not saying much. Better than the galaxy. Okay, so Mando, we are going to draw a snake. Are you going to join us? No, I have to get my baby. I have to get your baby Yoda. Get your baby. And Mando is gone. Mando disappeared of the face of the earth. Yeah, he was so ashamed of the later seasons. Oh, no, no, no. Mando is back and he brought his friend. Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda. Made out of cardboard. Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda. Made out of cardboard. Baby Yoda. It's not made out of cardboard. It's completely real. It's made out of the force. May the force be forceful. No, that sounds wrong. Ah, that's what it is. Kim needs a theme song. Do I need a theme song? Yes, I have a theme song for you. You have a theme song for me, Mando? Yes. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob. So, just a small question. Maybe that's a better theme song for someone like Bob. No, thank you. Okay, well, that's my new theme song. How did it go again? Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. Bob, Bob, Bob. BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB! Boob! BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB-BUB! Ok, I am starting to find the theme song more and more annoying. It's kinda hard to breathe in that thing. Yes. Seal it's the real adventure of Johnny Quest theme. I don't remember how that was. The real adventure. I remember Johnny Quest. When did you get an orchestra? But will you... Baby Yoda! Baby Yoda! Interrupting dreams baby Yoda! How old is your house? It seems like a more traditional building style. Yeah, the house is from... What was it? 1920? 1930 something. Yeah. Yep. So it's not terribly old. Name a car for an edit. A car? That's your job, Esteban. The Mando, I mean. Kia Soul. Kia Soul, yes. Kia Soul. The one with a terrible drive in your range. This set is officially a Jojo's Bissar adventure reference. Have you ever or do you currently play an instrument? I play a little bit of guitar and I write some songs and I sing a little bit. You can hear that in my travelling companion video. And also when I came down to you, we were saying ba, ba, ba. Yeah, so Esteban sings two... No, Mando sings two. Sorry, I'm sorry. This is the way. But do you play any instruments, Esteban? No. But you have some instruments that you don't play? Yes. Should we perhaps get the keyboard into your room someday? No, I have wait a little space in there already. I have way too much space in my space ship. Yes, yes. In my racer crest. In your racer crest, yes. So I have really much space because it's in space. Yes. So, we're surrounded by all the Jojo fans. I haven't seen or played Jojo's Bissar adventure. Is Jojo's a Bissar adventure game? I think there are some Jojo games that I haven't seen or played. I think there are some Jojo games that I haven't seen or played. I think there are some Jojo games or maybe it's just something announced a bit. Is that Sheenon the dragon from Dragon Ball C? No, because I can't draw copyrighted dragons. Because I release all my art for free use. So you can, when I'm done with this and it's scanned, you can download it and you can copy it and you can use it in your video game. It's a basilisk. Maybe we'll see it's something snake-like. Like a snake. Now I'm giving it feathers. It's probably a dragon. Someone said, or Leafy, I think said draw a... Rick Woose Brain. Woose Brain, yeah, that's my favorite name. This was a good drawing. Yeah, I was with you on that. Woose Brain, you was with me. Me and Sirius. Yeah, that was seriously hard. Maybe a worm. Yeah, so I've talked a lot about this. But the word for dragon in almost any language means snake. And the dragon that we imagine with four legs and wings is more of a medieval invention. There are some examples before, but it got popularized in medieval Europe. But other earlier dragons with many heads and fire breathing and poison breathing, they were all snakes. So Python, not in Monty, but in Greek mythology is a dragon. Hydra is a dragon. C++ also a dragon and Java. C++. Oh, programming jokes. My Mando comes here and outgeeks me with his programming jokes. A Python joke. A C++ joke. You know which grade I give your joke? C++. No, C-. I have to go now. I have to take my spaceship and fly the Coruscant to collect the bounty. You have to go now because you have to fly to a legally distinct planet from Coruscant so you're not sued for copyright violation. Yeah, I have to fly to Coruscant. By Esteban Sasmuna. Farewell, Mando. Esteban doesn't exist. It's only Mando. Only Mando exists. Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda. Leaving this life now, baby Yoda. This is the way out of this life. This is the way. Okay, so loads of people in the chat now. So remember if you want cool green text like Mona then become a member and that will help me and my team make more content for free and also art for free use. Art that you can use for whatever. Again, Lampton Worm would be great. It involves a spike knight and a worm that wraps around a hill seven times trying to wrap around John but is cut apart by John's armor. This sounds absolutely fascinating and I've heard about it before. And again, on these lives now if I happen to draw something that is that I already know then sometimes I give them mythological names. But if it's something I have to research then I I'd rather not give it a mythological name. Because we have and it's not that I haven't done so before but we have, you know, so many versions of myth that has nothing to do with the myth. It's just a name tagged onto something and I prefer to do things that are, if they're based on mythology they are truly based on mythology at least a bit. And then if I should change something about a mythological creature then then I prefer that change to be to be deliberate. What's your favorite mythological monsters? That's a good one. To draw or just in general. Love you. Thank you. Both. Okay, so it's really hard when you're put on the spot like this. I should make some common question lists that I have replies to because my replies now might be boring. So to draw I mean trolls are magnificent to draw but they're more fairy tale monsters or folklore monsters than mythological. And there is a difference. Does the difference really matter? Not always. Are trolls also present in mythology? Yes. But the trolls as we see them and as I know them are more of the folklore variety although there are a ton of myths and sagna about Norwegian kings and the trolls they battled. But drawing trolls is one of the most fun things. So I guess I'd have to save that. And speaking of and answering more of my favorite mythological monster. At least right now I'm fascinated with Tiamat. Tiamat and Abzu are the saltwater and freshwater dragons of ancient Sumerian and Babylonian mythologies. And the gods make a lot of noise which annoys Abzu. So Abzu plans to or is allegedly planning to murder the gods because of their noise. But the gods find out and they murder Abzu before he can attack them. Then Tiamat is given over to grief and rage because her lover, her husband is murdered. And she spawns, she births all the monsters, all the scorpion men and the dragons and the manticoring up mythologies. Yes I'm talking about the Enema Elish which is a fantastic fascinating origin or Genesis mythology. Anyway it had influence or similarities with parts of the Judeo-Christian mythology. It may draw a validance end. Probably not on this stream Papprap. Thank you so much for the super chat and that is so appreciated. But the end of the world might be too big for today. But let's go back to the beginning of the world because Tiamat birth all the monsters and the monsters fight or wage a war against the gods to avenge. They're dead father. It would probably be the father if he had lived. I'm not sure about that part but we will say father. And the gods don't really stand a chance of winning until the god Maddu comes along and wears a helmet with ice all around the helmet so we can see everything. It's an all-seeing god and he manages to slay Tiamat and then both of the primordial dragons that created the world are dead. So that is I like Fing Fang Fum. I like Fing Fang Fum too. That is a nice dragon. Nice monster story. I mean out of things that I've drawn that I want to draw again the Mananangal has been on my mind recently from Filipino mythology and I would absolutely love to do that one again. It's one of the freakiest monsters I've ever heard about. Is bro live streaming a short? Yes. YouTube is pushing trying to make short live streaming a thing. So whenever I don't know if this is because my YouTube short presence is so incredibly much larger than my YouTube long presence. But every time I go to stream it defaults to YouTube short streaming and recommends it. Typhon is very underrated. Typhon is absolutely fascinating. It is one of the most grotesque descriptions in Greek mythology. But I don't remember all of it. I just remember being absolutely fascinated last time I read up on Typhon. Super cool man you just popped through a short. The first time I've seen it. Amazing. Amazing work. I was really confused because I thought Manchester United had popped through a short. What is Manchester United watching my stream? Never! This family is a Liverpool family. Karybdis is great. Hello Kermito. Great to see you. Another person with that fancy green text, green name that you can get for supporting or becoming a member of the YouTube channel. Which is much much appreciated. I love writing. I finished one book and working on the second one. It has dragons in it and I need a name for a male dragon. Light grey with large red markings. What's a good name for a light grey? Tuftifallpalkullub for life. Do you have a preferred online source for researching any old mythologies? Have you ever tried Karybdis? I have, but I'm not sure. I should do another Karybdis one day because I've drawn Skilla and Karybdis, but it's a long time ago. Also, Liverpool is a dreadful place like Manchester. Never been to either place. I love Kim telling myth stories. Never stop. Thank you so much, Sleefy. Thank you so much. I really appreciate the super chats. The Mananangal has been on my mind lately because I got all these requests to do it and I've done it a long time ago and it got censored off of TikTok. Instantly you can still find it on YouTube Shorts. But yeah, I really want to do that again. What is your favorite brush? So the brushes I'm using now are not high priced. They're good. But this is an Alf Bjerke. It is synthetic. Let me see. I believe this is synthetic and it's not awfully expensive. But you know, I absolutely love more expensive brushes. I'm a comic book person, comic book guy. So I have a long relationship with Windsor and Newton Series 7 brush. I also like Chinese and Japanese style brushes. And my all-time favorite brush is the Pentel color brush, which is not refillable, but cartridge pen brush. That is amazing. You have this actual skill to follow you for streaming? No. That's a good idea and I said no for not getting my ass in gear and making a schedule yet. So I need to do that. You have a new sub. Thank you. And this is very important. If you are broke and want to support, you don't need to support with money. You can support by downloading my art and using it. You can use it as your phone background. You can use it. You can print it and send it to your great grandmother. You can make t-shirts of it and sell them. And that is supporting me, art. All my art is available for free use. So if you don't have the money to support, don't feel bad. If you want to support, you can do it just by using my art. Hanging it up on your wall. I used to paint models. Honestly, price brushes are fine for most. Fancy brushes are not worth it. For me, fancy brushes could absolutely be worth it. But I prefer to... This is maybe $7 to $12 brush, so it's not terribly expensive. If this was a Winsor & Newton series 7, it would be a $50 brush. And then I would hesitate to use it like this. Because that's going to impair the life of the brush. So, can I commission a dibbook fighting a man and an angel? Yes, you can. Contact post, post at den ungeherholm.com and Christopher will get back to you with prices and stuff like that. My commission schedule is pretty booked for a while. But you can contact us. I have Moet Horst brush. My late grandfather gave me... I can't bring myself in using it because I'm afraid of breaking it. But for most people, Moet Horst brushes are more than... Or what is it? Sable brushes. Kolinsky brushes, is what it's called, they're more than solid enough to not be destroyed by use. So the important thing is to rinse it properly after use and not try to dip it all the way so that you don't get a lot of ink or paint up here. And then also to once in a while wash it with shampoo and conditioner. And then a Winsor Newton or any good Kolinsky sable hair brush can last you for years. Hello! I usually do strokes like that one as a detail stage of my paintings. But I separated the brushes I use for that. So the smart thing would be to use a different brush for the dry brushing and the broken line work. But I don't know what it is with me. Maybe I'm just stupid that way. I really like the challenge of going on the spot. I think that's a cool challenge. I love it. And also when the brush starts breaking apart and the hairs start becoming impossible to join together again like on this brush then I actually like the challenge of figuring out how to work with this broken brush and produce. Like can I use one of these strands and just use that one strand and get a really subtle line and I can. So I think that challenge is fun. Let's see what Leafy writes. We figure art prompts but would love to hear a prompt from you for us. What does art king Kim want me to sculpt next? Oh sculpture! What do I want you to sculpt next? I'm nervous. I don't want to say the wrong thing. You are from South Africa, right? So sculpt the grout slang. So I have an idea of how to draw it myself. This two copper are so... No, wrong answer. Oh, was it the wrong answer? I'm sorry. No, my day is ruined. Not the wrong answer. I hate it when that happens. Wait, they have live shorts now? Yes. They're trying to combat the tic-tac-toc. Your art is absolutely great. Stumbled upon your channel. And I'm absolutely amazed by the stuff you do. I'll make sure to subscribe. Yes, do that. Subscribe. And click the bell icon and all that jazz. Gonna do some errands. So bye-bye. Thank you for being a part of the stream. It is so fun when I'm starting to recognize more and more names and faces, not faces. How did I only come across live shorts now? Good art, by the way. Thank you. I think live shorts isn't terribly old. I think they're... I mean, I don't remember last time I streamed before this session of streams in October. I think the last time before that was this spring or maybe late winter. And then it was nothing. It wasn't any... Would you like to stream in the short format? You got to draw Rick Sanchez. No! Because it is a dragon. This dragon will be made available for free use so that you can download it. Let's give it a drag and tail. That is funny. So you can download it. You can copy it. You can sell it. As long as you... You can change it. As long as you use my name, you can do whatever you want with it. So I can't do Rick. I can't do Morty. I can't do any copyrighted character because that would be very, very, very illegal. Copyright content is the devil's art. If you haven't noticed, I'm a huge nerd and fan of so many things. I'm a fan of so many comics and films and games and all that stuff. And I would love to live in a world where I could draw that. But I'm not going to profit of others... While advocating for a total copyright reform, I'm not going to try to profit of other people's work, which is... I would love to profit of other people's work like people can profit of my work, but it has to be legal. And we need a system that defends artists' right to freedom of speech because this is speech. And then we need to also figure out systems that can give monetary incentives for creating art. And copyright isn't a good monetary incentive for making art. I mean, no artist says, you know, I would like to create a new comic book, but the copyright limit is only 50 years after my death. So what's the point, really? If it was 75 years after my death, then I would make art. That doesn't make sense. It's not a good incentive. Well, let's celebrate their 20th super on the live stream. Thanks for the prompt, Kim. Myth in South Africa of mermaids... Myth in South Africa of mermaids in the Karoo desert, in pools in the mountains, under a flood, watch them to the sea. That sounds fascinating. Oh, it is Rowan. Rowan. Okay. So we'll add a few splatters. Then after this one, maybe we'll do another short stream. Kim. Comrade Kim. Yeah. This is InkMonster number 1,435. So we say it's Python. Yeah, we can say Python. I said I wouldn't take a name from Myth, but I did. No, I missed an hour. Oh, no. Sorry just for fun. And if you want to be cool just for fun and have that green font in your name, then become a member and support that way. Fluffy Python. It's a Python, but it's also Java. That's your one hour late for the programming language jokes. I got that green. Oh, in your name. Never mind. If your mental health allowed you, maybe you'd like the game Hellblade. Hellblade, Sanoha Sacrifice is one of my favorite games of all time, but I've only played it through once. I do want to play it once again before it is out or before the sequel is out. But it's a magnificent game. So good. If you like boring walking simulators with clunky combat, then it's perfect. Do you selling art? Yes, you can go to then. There you can buy prints, you can buy merch, you can buy originals. And you can also buy all the Pinktober art that I did last month. And if you are one of those who thought, oh, the original prices are a little bit too high, then those are our cheapest just for the month of November and then we'll take those away and probably sell them next October again, I don't know. I'll have a look, yeah. So the Pinktober prices are $139 per, while most of the other art is from $300 to $500 someplace. When is the next stream? I don't know. I am bad at planning things, but I am going to I'm going to get a schedule up and have at least one or two streams per week, I think. Does the nail color relate to your mood? Not necessarily. Okay, shall we do one more quick ink monster? I'll do a random one and you'll decide what you see in that ink plot and we'll go for there. I'll pick a color this one I haven't used in a while. Nice color. Pink! Yeah, all last month I did daily streams where I drew pink drawings. Okay, what do you see in this ink plot? It's time making it to a live stream. Looks like a wing. It could be a wing, yes. A footprint. It could be a footprint. Face looking right and down. Yes, I see that one. Ooh, I like that one. Carnivorous plant. Hmm. Okay, let's do the face looking down. So that is not going to be a short and silly drawing, but I see it so clearly that I'm you can make it short and silly. Magma face. Yeah, it could be. Let's do that. Let's make it grittier. How long have you been doing art? Always. So people I see your question I'll answer that afterwards. I'll just I always talk about when I started with art on my streams so you can find that answer other places and I should probably make some shorts and some longs about that subject because people are interested. Have you ever accidentally destroyed art? I mean, look at my face. All the time. All the goddamn time. Norway is like super progressive. No, I mean there are some progressive elements here. There are some very right-wing or Italian elements here. I live in a neighborhood that is a little bit outside of town and it's a very it's a very white and straight and cis neighborhood but it's also full of nice people and it's a good atmosphere here. I like the idea of this being sort of a spirit or someone commented about that. So there are a few things in Norway that are more progressive than a lot of other places but there are very conservative streaks as well and I think the sad truth is that even the most progressive countries, places on earth are still not nearly progressive enough because you can't really be that within capitalism. Capitalism requires differences economically and in power between people. It requires classes. It requires some people being more worth than other people and that will always create the groundwork for hatred and for bigotry and for conflict and that isn't just like one way in both ways. Janteloven is the worst part of Norway. Yes, Janteloven but we don't have that much Janteloven anymore I think. Do we? Well Janteloven used to be this sort of mindset rule in Norway that says you shouldn't think that you are somebody that you are special and it lives in news from maybe it certainly does live to some extent but we also have the whole influencer culture that is really taken off in Norway is very much the Janteloven Denmark is pretty Janteloven so the Janteloven is not the actual law it's just a sort of a description of a philosophy Jantelagen maybe this drawing should be about Janteloven I'm generally a left-wing anarchist where of some consider this counter itself but I don't think that's the case I think in Norway I'm an anarchist I don't really have that much of a problem with our royal family because the function symbolically they're not as awful as other places so I don't think it's not that I'm for the monarchy there are other things I'm much more against our king is nice do you guys actually have good community spirit despite being introverted non-nationalistic not collectivistic as the legends go yeah it depends it depends I'm not the greatest person to ask about good community because I'm not a good I'm not a good communist I am not a good community person I am introverted I have some social anxiety and I I'm not the best person to ask about that South Africa has good laws regarding LGBT but it's terribly employed and people are stubborn we have good we have good laws regarding LGBT there are some problems with um for trans people here that are not still are still not getting the proper care they should how long do you draw a day so today I haven't drawn before this so so I mean one hour I don't draw as much as I used to because I have another focus right now I always consider myself more of a writer of a storyteller than an artist so I spend more time thinking about the stories in the scripts that I write for my youtube shorts actually on the art but that being said the reason why I've gotten whatever skill I have is because around the age of 27 I saw that people I had deemed as less talented than me or have just written off because they are not great artists like me were quickly getting better than me I had to realize that I had to not only practice to become as good as I wanted but to practice more than others and for a lot of years I would say that I probably practiced more and better better than most others what's your opinion on Kvarnalan's recent book Shigir I haven't read the last few books from Stefan Kvarnalan Stefan Kvarnalan is a huge influence on me I loved his Olaf Geh book and I loved his monk book and I and I loved his old adoption of Edgar Allen Poe's the black cat I loved Ticke the conductor and I grew up his art and then I met him in my teens and we aren't like close friends or anything but we know who each other are and have a mutual respect and our Facebook friends that's the, so we're real friends real friends on Facebook so he is still an absolute hero for me and absolute inspiration and I'm so damned jealous is the word when he posts some of his sketches on on Facebook and I just I want to be that good that's one of my prime ways of getting better is that I want to be that good and Stefan art is comparable enough to mine it's close enough to mine that it really hurts when I see him being able to do things that I'm not able to do even though he is a huge influence it still hurts to not be as good at exactly the stuff that he's good at even though I'm probably there are things that I'm good at that he isn't good at yeah but that's I don't know it is that's how I work it hurts good you always living up, yes still freaks me out how similar our signature or I don't know what that means make a soldier next time hello Lenny dragonfan like workout good yes so I'll make this an ink monster as well and name it the not the yanta love the yanta spirit I like this one I like the molten volcano colors of this thank you but this we're going to do it now comes the scary part because I've already signed it I thought I was happy with it but this is potentially something that means something more so I want to put an ENSO one of those circles on it and the rules for those ENSOs in my book in my spiritual belief in my atheistic spiritual belief is that if the ENSO works then the gods accept the drawing the cosmos accepts the chance accepts the drawing if the ENSO doesn't work I have to tear up the drawing I have drawings on the floor here torn up 20 bucks if you smash it now I'm just offended now so if I manage this circle the gods have accepted I think the gods accepted it oh my heart for a bit I like that one hallelujah where are the last drawings I ripped up yeah it was here it was one of the Palestine drawings didn't work so I had to rip it off rip it off, rip it up I actually had to rip up two Palestine drawings this one worked and this one worked and this one worked now we have to start ending the live it's a demon chasing the kid maybe it is, maybe it is it's up to you don't look like a kid okay we have to end the live but before I go I have to tell you that the cool green letters that Leafy and Just for Fun has in their names is because they are members if you like my art and you want to support so that me and my team can make more videos, better videos more art better art, cooler projects all that jazz then becoming a member of the youtube channel is a great way of doing that Moona also representing those lovely green letters what would you recommend to someone who is struggling to draw every day because of their day job I would recommend lowering your ambitions find something like my daily ink monster exercise that something that doesn't have to take more than five minutes and where even if the results are awful and ugly and silly you can be satisfied with it and then do that daily and then once in a while you'll do more than that that will keep the hand warm for those periods where you actually have more time to draw I can't afford that I've had to spend thousands on my family I don't feel bad about it you shouldn't feel bad about it if you don't have the money to support you can support by downloading my art by using it by giving it to your family so printing one of my artworks or just sending it on email printing it, giving it to your family is supporting me even if I don't get a dime or even if you use it of my art that is supporting me I release all my art under a creative commons attribution license so you can use it however you want as long as you attribute to me as long as you write my name hi gang ten minutes is enough ten minutes is more than enough if you can ten minutes can be hard to find so do something that can take two minutes that can take five minutes because once in a while you'll fail at that and you'll have to do it again and then it'll take ten minutes but if you fail at something that takes ten minutes then it'll take twenty or thirty days is catching strands for no reason you're a rose in a field of daisies I don't know what that means I like roses, I like daisies I take ten minutes to set up so fine then I'd recommend finding something that easier to set up that's why something like the pencil curler brush was brilliant for me in learning how to draw and it's still brilliant for me today because I can have it in a pocket and I can have it works on most any paper I can draw whenever hope you're doing well, thank you I really like your work greetings from Italy ok lower the bar for daily practice the most essential thing is to lower the bar lower the bar so it's remove all the things psychologically or physically that makes it hard and do something that's super easy draw one ballpoint drawing on a post-it everyday and hang them on your wall and see how that goes ok now I feel I'm running out of steam here it's been a long day hope you're feeling better it's a tough period but it's I can say that if you've seen my video about quarrelling online and stuff like that it is I'm definitely not doing myself any favors quarrelling online but it is a good way to comment and find ideas for videos stuff like that but the thing is that even if I started posting those political videos that I do post now in a in a good period that wouldn't be a huge problem but since I had Covid and that Covid led me straight into something depression like then choosing to post those political videos right now and to argue with all sorts of people was not a great idea but I'm doing ok I'm I think I'm done with most of the arguing and I still have a handful of political videos to post that will piss off a lot of people but you know I'm it's one of the funny things about it now I'm sort of known by a lot of people as the Jordan Peterson hater but all my heroes are conservative are right-wing I mean Frank Miller is my absolute artistic hero and HP Lovecraft and I listen to black metal and other metal I'm my I'm full of right-wing conservative influences and I've always picked out people on the right-wing that I dive deep into and that I really enjoy and like and that's how I started reading and watching a lot of Jordan Peterson stuff he was my right-wing darling for a while and because I have a lot of points I agree with him on not the political points but a lot of other points I agree with him on and it's just that I read so much of him and started checking the facts that I saw that was a really really bad pattern there he is much further to the right than he says and admits but my point my point with this is one fundamental thing I agree with him on and that he doesn't quite practice himself or he does maybe yeah he does practice himself but that is that speaking is and also speaking through art is a form of thinking speaking and drawing is an extension of thinking and one of the reasons you speak things out into the public into a conversation or even just down on the paper to yourself is because you're checking to see if it can take resistance and if it still rings true and I think that's very important so yeah I am re-reading Lovecraft's work thank you to your pieces excellent I have to go now go to if you want merch become a member if you have money for that go to patreon.com if you have money for that and finally use my art thank you all it's been so much fun bye bye
