 okay we are live it seems hey why is it making noise because I have a noise on I'm live I want to go in and check the comments like this okay got it bigger I don't know hey caught a live stream yes you did I just started the stream from the office for the first time in a long way hey loads of people the camera will be a little bit shaky and I apologize for that I can't do much about that go dog oh yeah good morning from Canada you see the camera is over there in the mirror and it's got it's standing on wobbly ground I'm pretty sure that's the technical term standing on wobbly ground a live drawing yes I'm just going to be working on this piece for a little while and then I'm hopefully maybe I'll do a ink monster as well what are you drawing now this is a bigger piece in my series of mod ps drawings nightmare face drawings and I haven't worked on it in a long while and it's so close to being finished oh so we're just going to do a little bit of work on it okay it's not that much left looks like some sort of Vendigo right no it doesn't it's interesting that you should say that because you're probably thinking of a Vendigo with antlers and Vendigo's with antlers is a Hollywood trick not invention so so Vendigo's with antlers are made for a movie and then they just spread from that bro how did I get a notifications from this guy I'm not subscribed or anything the algorithm hello hello where are everyone located that's an amazing hello kitty illustration where if not yeah I thought it was time to do my take on hello kitty kitty say hello but this piece I've actually I haven't worked on it for three years consistently but I started it over three years ago now and once in a while I've been working on it probably like around 40 50 hours and now it's just putting on some final touches nothing huge just one of the things I want to achieve with these drawings or paintings or whatever they are is that it should feel consistent a consistent surface all over from Saudi Arabia and where are everyone at shout out your country as let's see if we have the whole world or are we missing Antarctica again Colorado Maine loads of people up late in the states go to bed Gedi from Australia I'm very sorry for my Australian accent I almost said blame Canada but that would be incorrect India Brazil Lithuania thank you for beautiful our wisdom from Pakistan is it or is it India I I I'm very sorry I'm terrible with flags love from India namaste you're too boy good morning moon a great great to see you great why am I channeling the tiger what was the tiger's name Denmark India South Africa South Africa not notable no it's notable I do usually get viewers from South Africa because Tony the tiger thank you because it's on the same time zone isn't it are you left-handed yes Nigeria excellent Toby the tiger I think it's Tony the best tiger is Hobbes Midlands Nepal wow I don't think I've ever had a viewer identify themselves from Nepal before Ireland fantastic so hopefully I can finish this piece today I just need the sense that every spot is touched what is a Vendigo well this isn't a Vendigo but the Vendigo's are a sort of a malevolent cannibalistic spirit from various North American mythologies or folklore they the stories do differ but but but generally you can become or become possessed by a Vendigo or you can you become a Vendigo by eating human flesh or you get the craving for human flesh and become a Vendigo it's sort of that's the gist of it and they are often described as tall and white as snow they are associated with winter and stuff like that is that a devil it might be a devil the devil of Vino I think it's the some sort of variation of the horned god from Celtic it's but these pieces these modified pieces are very personal to me and I don't they are not research or based on mythology that way they are based on my free association so in other words I will work with mythology but in the smart if he has paintings I will just associate freely and try to make sense your Frank nature and honesty are refreshing to see thank you I don't think I know Frank nature I know Frank Sinatra I know don't know I've heard Frank Sinatra's music I I'm tired I'm making tired jokes I like that you can see the screen and then the and a tiny screen and it goes endless inwards to infinity and beyond looks amazing thank you so if anyone have any questions I can this is at this point this is a rather thoughtless work so I can stream section yes I can try to answer some questions while I draw I do like that that's one of the reasons why I like going live how long did it take you to get this this good at it so I'm soon 43 years and I started drawing when I was one and I never stopped so soon it'll be 42 years do you need 42 years to become this good no I did waste a lot of time have you done any artwork featuring nor in your I mean yes in this series of drawings or paintings I have done one with the new or it or scada and but again that's not based on the mythology but on my free association leading to that mythological story I don't think I've done you added in a more mythological sense no what's the best kind of paper to use when you use ink so I use a regular drawing paper I have the brand around here but I think I've got my let me see let me look this is an coveted and cook I don't know where it's underneath here so I don't want to pick it up but but the brand I use now is probably almost start as the name suggests it is a starting grade paper is a student grade paper but that's okay it's cheaper that way and I use a lot of paper so I would rather have it cheap and as long as the paper is from 150 to 250 grams that is ideal 250 is probably best 200 and 150 becomes a little bit too big are you creating artistic with other mediums as well photography sculpture fiber arts none of those that I do play a little guitar and write songs once in a while it's been many years since I wrote a song but I do feel the need to do it once in a while and I want to get back into playing more music do you ever find yourself frustrated with how your art is emerging and how do you proceed you proceed yes I am frustrated with my art every time I draw but with with time and confidence and skill I've managed to work past the frustration and also notice when the frustration is worth listening to and when it's worth ignoring so every artist has a gap between their skill and their imagination and there should always be this gap your imagination should always work or evolve quicker than your skill otherwise something is off something is wrong not you know not vitally wrong but if your skill is evolving quicker than your imagination then you need to reconsider some things probably so there will always be a gap between imagination and skill and when you're still learning a lot of different stuff about art that gap is very painful but with time that gap becomes less painful both because you're more realistic about what you can do because you're better at doing what you want to do and also yeah so the skill will sort of gradually get closer and closer to your imagination but never catch up your night in many times more impressive than my entire generation no thank you but no I don't know what to say to I am not good at taking compliments I've never been I get embarrassed which is you know my ego is huge but I still get embarrassed is that an entomb shirt yes one of my favorite fans and one of my favorite shirts God is great Satan is super it says on the back I don't know if you can see it no you can only see a little bit of it God is great Satan is super are you doing commissions no I'm not taking commissions these days this is a personal series that I've been working on for a long time the rest of them are exhibited at Gunnery Pjallad selling in from everything from seven hundred dollars up to two thousand dollars for these did you ever try to read the Bible I've read the Bible the Old Testament twice and the New Testament once and a lot of the books in the Bible I've read many more times like the ecclesiastas I've read probably many dozens times I love ecclesiastas I there's a lot of other great books in the Bible I just don't think it's a good book to think is factual or that you should live by but great mythology I am an amazing drawer but I never tried to paint maybe shading tips layering etc so so my best painting tips because I I was the same way I did know how to paint but I was good at drawing and this series it was of drawings or paintings was sort of made to for me to investigate the difference between drawing and painting because they are not the same and the best thing I did to learn painting was to learn how to mix the color gray not by using black and white but by using the primary colors or any combination of colors to mix gray that I learned so much from doing that and another tip this is a tip but more philosophical take the difference between in my opinion the difference between drawing and painting is that when you're drawing you are making lines to define or to make the rear viewer imagine things that aren't there so this white color is the same as this white color but you perceive them as different because this is the background and this is the head you're imagining the art so every stroke you put down every line you put down in a drawing is something that doesn't really exist the lines do not exist in the fictional in the imaginary world you are describing the lines are what you use to force the viewer to imagine the whatever you're doing while painting is completely different painting everything you paint every mark you make is something that exists in the imaginary world so when you're painting a skin color you are putting down that thing you're trying to put that on down on the paper so drawing and painting are exactly opposite ways of thinking about making art at least that's my feeling are you able to paint or draw a depiction of Ra as a Sun God not today some other day they what's your opinion on religion being a human construct of course is what else should it be if you think otherwise you are simply wrong and I'm not saying that to dismiss supernaturalism or anything like that but we don't whether you believe in supernatural things or not religions have been constructed by humans to serve human political and philosophical goals that there's no way around that that doesn't dismiss the possibility of something supernatural it doesn't dismiss the possibility of meaning or anything like that you know other things might dismiss that but but of course it is a construct I'm a Christian and you're like exact opposite if I keep watching I will go to hell just making sure no you won't go to hell because you know hell doesn't exist in that way and I'm sorry if you believe hell exists in that way that then then good on you I guess but you know we are possibly we are capable of making our lives a hell and we should avoid that and thinking that others will get their reward or punishment in an afterlife is a way to neglect dealing with the life you have as it is it is completely irrelevant heaven and hell are irrelevant to leading a good life I think I was raised Christian I see myself critical of religion you should believe in something I believe in something you should try to draw scenes from the Bible like Satan came in Jesus a David fighting Goliath I have drawn a couple of biblical scenes I've drawn the sacrifice of Isaac I've drawn Rahab the giant the dragon I've drawn behemoth I've drawn Jesus both on the cross and otherwise I like Christian mythology are you at the point where you don't need to watch reference before drawing that depends on what I'm drawing if I'm going to portray the likeness of something then you better goddamn use reference you don't necessarily need to have the reference there all the time so for instance what I'll do if I'm going to paint an animal or something and want it to be reasonably correct I will do a quick sketch from a from a photo reference and then I will do my final drawing from the sketch because that extra added layer of abstraction makes it look more like my art style and less like something drawn from photo reference but you should draw as much as you can from reference you should do life drawing you should do croquis drawing you should do landscapes you should do photo reference you should draw from real life a lot from photo reference less and from imagination that's sort of the least important are you a fan of Neil Gaiman and Brian Froud I do enjoy some of Gaiman stuff I grew up with with the fan man reading that and Mr. Punch and Judy and a lot of that stuff so so yeah I enjoy some of that and Brian Froud yeah definitely I when I was in my teens I had a book of his art so there is definitely some Brian Froud that has rubbed off on me I guess it's not one of the artists that I can see clearly in my art often like you know I can see Kittleson I can see Giga and I can see some teeth and of course Frank Miller and there's a lot of artists I can always see Jan Steve my friend and Charles Schultz Sergio Arrigones thank you for the super chat just found you you're awesome dude Merk Merk Merk how old are you I'm soon 43 do you know the artist team me on key yes he was I'm very sad that he died he was one of the later are the the most reasons artists that I've gone gotten into because with age it is harder and harder to get into new art because a lot of my influences are just established and Kim Yong-gi's work was so when I discovered it was so close to a lot of the stuff that I was doing with directly with ink that I had to study it and I still need to study it more I still need to steal more of his techniques Kim Yong-gi is dead he died last year sorry to inform you it was very sad the last fall he died sorry I'm beginning to think that this one is almost done will he draw a Ravana 10 headed demon king of Lanka someday I'm not familiar so so that's apparently something I need to check out where do I check out more of about Lanka and about Ravana sources are much appreciated I need to set up some some sort of wish list where people can buy me books and stuff about mythology actual worthy so so when Jesus talked about hell or sheol that was a very different concept I think Gehenna is what you're referring to with the trash heaps I think that's sort of not quite true but the sheol concept of of Roman Greek or Roman Judaism which was what you know Jesus was preaching about wasn't very unlike the later Christian concept of hell so Jesus wouldn't have understood the fires of hell and that stuff can you draw a Indian god I've drawn Kali before I draw I need to draw more Indian stuff I need to research the Indian mythology the Hindu mythology is more it is really complex and it's one of those things that are extra complex to research because there's so much new age stuff oh do you like frogs or not I love frogs frogs are great I love I love frogs Kermit the frog is my favorite frog is it I don't know toads are cool as well thank you for your work and word gave me a lot of inspiration for my art thank you who is your favorite political philosopher theorist that is difficult I sort of I don't know if I have a favorite out of the old anarchists I do like Kropotkin I do like Emma Goldman I love for instance Chomsky is interesting because I love a lot of his stuff and then some of his stuff is just very old-fashioned as well so really it's interesting I like David Graber I love that's more into the anthropology side but also political I would love to see you do more faithful I will there are 1106 gods in Indian mythology isn't there many millions isn't that the number but it's not Chomsky is interesting as a media foreign policy analyst more than as an anarchist I do actually agree with his some of his takes on anarchism especially around how foreign anarchists as an anarchist we have to work within the means we have today we can't I see a lot of leftists sort of waiting for a revolution in a sort of almost religious way like they're waiting for the rapture or something and that's just a way of thank you Muna that's just a way of not having to deal with the reality we're living in and the reality we're living in is full of possibilities to do direct action it's full of possibilities to do mutual aid it's full of possibilities to make a small difference where you're at and also unfortunately you have to engage sometimes with and this depends on the country and the circumstances but you have to engage with party politics as well you don't have to support any single party because they're all a bit crap but but you have to engage in in some circumstances even anarchists I believe should engage in party politics and try to make a difference that way even though we don't support that system what is anarchism anarchism is the the idea that that people should be free to live their lives as long as it doesn't infringe on other people's right to do the same so so we should have maximum liberty for ourselves and to do that you need to make a system where where where you can decide things locally where where you can have direct democracy where you can have things like democratic federalism which we see in rural java these days where things are structured mostly flat and where hierarchies are only used where necessary and needed not as a default we're using hierarchies as a default in our society and that's not good because that that doesn't really make sense why worry ourselves with gods when we know the answer to life is for you too good point good point life the universe and everything thanks for all the fish can you draw a Lithuanian werewolf I haven't done enough research into Lithuanian and other Baltic folklore a myth I I still need good sources to figure that out I I'm not finishing this piece today I still have uh probably less than an hour's work left on it but I have to finish now but I can do one ink monster for you guys before I end the live would you like that okay oh sorry for the wobbliness that I will make a quick one let's do some orange since I have some orange here and let's just dab the orange a little bit and then I'll show it to you guys what does it look like in Japan we have yukai ghosts various goblins monsters I've drawn I've drawn I've I've not drawn umbrellas that that living umbrellas that would be fun but I've drawn the what's the one the water spirit that has I don't remember I've drawn the only and I've drawn the nine-tailed fox a ghost let's make an orange ghost let's make a silly orange ghost like this it will have long feet um and it will have a why does the ghost have feet I don't know a carrot ghost yes it will be a carrot ghost let's do the carrot ghost looks like my mother oh wow your mama your mama so orange that that that carrot top thought she was her mirror image that is the awful joke I will not I didn't make that joke um you heard wrong I never said anything I haven't I haven't said anything all day I've been this I've been in a quiet live it's ASMR you didn't hear any carrot related jokes you are sadly mistaken why would the ghost have feet uh because human ghosts do not have feet while humans have feet carrot ghosts carrots do not have feet so carrot ghosts have them I think this is perfectly logical if you had just stopped to think about it I think you would see the error of your ways uh makes perfect sense yeah I mean all my ink monsters are strictly based on science we're not doing we're not fantasizing here we're doing science with ink that's my new channel it's called science with ink science with ink science with ink is better than you think that's the theme tune for our new channel science with ink watch every Monday to Friday at 25 o'clock for more science with ink and he's wearing wellington's what's his name just ghost carrot I I like ghost carrot because it reminds me of ghost rider and whenever I think about ghost rider I have to sing the Henry Rollins version of the song ghost rider from the crow soundtrack because it goes ghost rider motorcycle hero and now I will be singing that all day thanks to you guys yeah it's a cousin with the ghost pepper definitely ghost carrot motorcycle hero I think this is uh ink monster uh if I'm not mistaken is 1283 I'll say three if I'm mistaken then I will add the uh right number afterwards ghost carrot motorcycle hero I never drew ghost rider or did you know because I release all my art for free use under a creative commons license so you can take ghost carrot and you can make comics about your ghost carrot you can sell those comics you can make it into an international game franchise earning millions upon millions on the ghost carrot and you don't owe me anything because all my art is available for free use under a creative commons attribution license if you like that and support that then you also understand that I can't do ghost rider or any other copyrighted character because that's that would be very illegal if you want to support my art then you can support by the super chats or you can go to patreon.com slash kim holm you find the links in my bio and you can support me with one dollar a month or you can support on paypal or you can go to den umgehardhorn.com and buy merchandise you can buy art originals you can buy print you can buy um I almost said buy cycle bicycle but you can't buy bicycles you can buy t-shirts and we have a lot of cool stuff so that is that is the live for today thank you all for watching I will scan ghost carrot and have him uploaded someday I really like ghost carrot thank you for entertaining me while I draw and I'll see you suddenly bye bye let's find out how we can turn on this ghost carrot what you can sample my song my voice in a song but not if I sing ghost rider motorcycle hero because then then you would have the rights to that so anyhow I'll see you all later thank you for watching it's been very fun bye
