 and yeah this corona is uh this covid is uh hanging in there i'm not really all that sick anymore but but it's um it's uh i'm very tired very up and down but still we will be doing another inktober is pinktober today and we will uh be drawing a pink drawing from steward samples pinktober 23 prompt list uh we're out of the very nice little uh the nice the nice the nice the nice little papers i used so we'll have to find some other papers hello retro game dudes dudes hello retro game dude hi hello hi oh my god hi hi hello hello okay so awake am i hello mr inkman hello mr inkman that is uh unfortunate bob dill's song the nitty ink we see i can't do i can't do that okay let us turn this mess around i'll find here because yesterday's peace like those okay ooh that looks pretty thank you i heard ink wizard once and it's stuck lovely yes i've been uh i've been called worse i really liked it when when uh i think it was the second album cover i did for the band the ride the sogna metal black metal ish a band from song in norway and in the press release for the album art and the video i did for them they instead of referring to me as uh artist they just refer to me as wizard so so any news outlets that picked up the story just said the wizard kim holm pink pink yes okay so let's put a new paper on here and let's find some pink jimmy jama crates hey it's good to have streamed so much on youtube now that i'm starting to recognize more and more of the names i was a little jealous when you started painting bands i knew well a few people were how come your hands aren't moving as fast as in the short videos uh because those are time lapse videos i i really hope that was a joke question fa fa fa fa fa fa fa hike him fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa better run run run run run run away oh yeah yeah yeah this is the first time seeing you live it's fun hopefully hopefully it'll be more fun when i actually start drawing something i'm sorry i couldn't make it to the live yesterday i'm so glad to be here today thank you i mean i barely managed to be on every one of my lives so i can't complain if one of you are gone uh big fan of your art thank you what's the weather like where you're at i usually it's raining now for the whole week where i've been having covid it's pink tour pink tober i need to focus a little bit it's been sunny and now it's starting to rain again so uh you got me into drawing i like doing it i'm not good at it i don't want to be good at it it's real fun so thanks for helping me find a real hobby yes so that's the best attitude have fun with drawing if you and that's one of the things is that um when you get professional at drawing one of the things that um separates professionals from amateurs amateurs meaning those who do it for the love is that amateurs enjoy what they're doing and professionals get have to get really good at doing the drawings they don't like or doing drawing even when they don't like it so for a lot of professionals me included in periods uh we lose the fun of drawing but that's one of the great things about you know doing the live metal drawings and uh doing the ink monsters on tiktok and my whole new my whole new line of work you could say from from tiktok and youtube and and that social media fame is that um i can reconnect with i have reconnected with the fun of drawing going on a trip tomorrow i have to be up at 3 a.m to get ready for my flight not looking forward okay so the word for today is i am and i i continue just loathing the pinktober 23 prompt list because these words don't really fit my art or my style and i think a lot of these words from the prompt list are really difficult and that's also what makes it fun um thought of anton panikok i panikok i don't know who that is so no thoughts who is anton panikok inktober is inspiring so many students where i teach i will have uh to share a photo of the wall of inktober we created excellent that's the most fun i'm feeling better how are you uh i'm sort of the the covid is it was a dutch council communist i i know nothing about dutch politics i know very little communist theory and stuff i'm not the well-read person despite despite uh opening my big mouth on every topic okay so with no i i was saying i'm feeling better from the covid but it's still just it still has its claws in me and won't let go how about dutch how about dutch waffles not a fan not a fan of dutch waffles not a fan of of belgian waffles fan of norwegian waffles did you watch scorsese's killers of the flower moon not yet so okay so i am the first thing i'm thinking about uh uh uh with i am is uh jesus did you ever paint something that gave you a big belly love i've painted things i've at least smirked and giggled at but uh but but but i don't i don't know if i've had a belly laugh probably probably some late night probably some late night drawing with others who the last temptation of christ yes since we were talking about scorsese that is uh is that scorsese or is that that is scorsese and i didn't like that but it's a long time since that's all right i love a lot of other scorsese but uh temptation of christ didn't pop my f i am just reminds me of the cards do you like harry potter not particularly the wife and the kids like it i never fell for it and i certainly um like it less now that uh um jk rowling has revealed her more fascistic sides to put it lightly but you know i all my favorite authors and artists are problematic but just it's just a doesn't interest me have a favorite color yes shock green shall we go with with uh this color green shall we go with drawing some sort of jesus morally justified parroting when it comes to harry potter i have to go to sleep good night everyone well good night i think that all piracy is justified morally i don't think you can't really make a case that um that piracy is morally wrong i mean that was the whole deal with with with the the you wouldn't steal a car and those commercials in the id or late 90s and i i just don't think that that you can really make a case for that i'm not happy with that face a copy is not theft yeah and uh uh there there is no harm in spreading the work of an artist there is harm in the the models of the business models not functioning but you know spreading artwork is not morally wrong in any sort of way jesus looks like him yeah everything i draw looks like me i think it's okay to spread an artist's art with credit but when you don't give credit or you claim it as your own it's wrong yes but uh credit or uh attribution as is called in law has nothing to do with copyright attribution is its own um classification or own set of laws under intellectual property law and they are separate from from copyright laws artists are no justification needed also shouldn't uh be share something you purchased the problem is piracy it's only piracy to the people in the business yeah and it i mean piracy uh did hurt some smaller artists and some bigger artists and it it did have effects but those effects were of a broken business model not of the piracy and in international copyright law credit is a eternal right it is not bound to 70 years after the death of the author or the right creator it is uh eternal that's why you can't say uh that you wrote pride and prejudice even though jane austin doesn't have the copyright anymore because she's long dead if i'm gonna like this piece could you imagine if every 70 years a random person would claim credit on the monalisa yes that would be that would and if it would legally stick that would be uh yep i i'd support that law no i wouldn't uh yeah but that's uh that's fun people like dimension more than monalisa anyway just have it like the first person that successfully files a claim gets to claim to be the author before i go i just wanted to thank you it was you who made me realize that art is much more than drawing art is feelings emotions thoughts i started making art and that helped me you change my life wow that is i'm i'm speechless when i get these messages it is um it is such a insane privilege to be able to sit here in my cellar in norway and uh you know draw things i like and talk about things that interest me and uh people feel that has a positive impact on their life and that is just it's kind of insane and i love it has art always been your thing uh i uh yes art has always been to my thing i i mean school scared me away from sports um uh i i have always been into writing i still i i always consider myself more of a storyteller than a artist and sort of reality finally reality finally caught up with my ideas of me as a storyteller when uh tiktok and youtube and this short form storytelling format took off for me so but but um yeah stories are something i think storytelling is something i think more about than um than art in itself hi kim how do i go about sending you and longer inquiry i've sent a message on instagram but i don't know if that's the best way or not uh i do check my instagram messages and uh christoffer my associate also checks them if the when did you send the message uh because i your name is probably different there so i don't know if i've seen the message or not i don't remember any longer inquiry right now earlier today i don't okay i'll look for a message from ted from earlier today after the live let's do long here jesus it's not me uh story is important that is the way yes i think so and i think as an artist who has thought a lot about story i'm probably more prepared for the the type of youtube and tiktok format so well if that's a measure of success i don't know but but it's uh yeah thanks for all the inspiration thank you bleaker street comics uh uh that's the store in uh in is it grannish village uh and it's it's been there for a long time right or are you named after something else because i when i was 17 we lived just like uh two months in new york oh my god i didn't actually think that chat was being read i try but you know i'm drawing at the same time so i always get inspired to do my own art while watching you and scott's videos and lives i just finished diamond painting while watching this and loved how it turned out excellent the Bert Bert just made my day Bert Bert excellent some people are easy to please can you do the color mixing where you mix distinct colors to get a desired shade yes uh i'm actually from canada but named my business after dr strange addresses because he's on bleaker street but i'm pretty i probably mixed bleaker street comics up with kim's music and video on bleaker street which was a uh uh video store at least in the late 90s in new york will you be remembered after death you've done too much art to die in obscurity so you can downtune that angst you will be remembered oh i i'd rather you know given the choice i i'd rather just not die that would be good so if we can can can just start working on that deal now i do if you don't mind uh do i fear death uh i've thought about that a lot and no i don't fear death i fear not living i have no thoughts about death because i will not have any thoughts at that time nothing dying is good i agree love the nails thank you i'm a crazy stoic don't mind me i'm a crazy i so so i i do think it's fun the idea of leaving a legacy or something like that i i do think that's a fun idea but but but i don't think that's going to serve me in because i won't know so every time someone asks me if i fear death i ask them back if they remember what it was like before they were born yeah how long have i been doing youtube slash tik tok so tik tok is an easy answer i started the same week as covid locked norway down in 2019 was it just by accident i didn't know we were getting locked down that week but i did know that that it was coming and that it was bigger than we anticipated but i didn't know it was like years big even though people had said it at the time but so that was when i started doing tik tok and that took off quite fast youtube is more complicated because i started my youtube channel i mean maybe it was around 2009 something like that i started my youtube channel is old and if you go back you will find a few scattered very old videos you will find some of me singing and stuff like that and even some drawing videos from around 2010 12 something like that um i didn't sort of crack the code of youtube until very recently so it's this year and i've told the story before but but uh scott who i but it's got christian salva who i've befriended on um tik tok uh he was nagging at me to uh you should really get on youtube shorts and just upload your most popular videos and uh that'll solve all your problems scott said and i was really going to do it but i was in a really tough period almost all last year and early this year so i was really just i i was in a mess and i didn't actually do that um so one day scott emailed me and said maybe you can just give me a login to your youtube and i can do the work for you because i have some free time so it was scott who uploaded all my most viewed tiktoks to youtube and in that bunch of videos the first ones that went viral on youtube shorts and then i took over from there so basically i got big on youtube through scott because he is fantastic he is uh true a true soul shorts are for new viewers no cash uh there's not much much money there but there is money if you go to uh there is money if you uh become a member of my youtube channel just to support or you can send super chats or you can go to my web store den ungehadholm.com and use the promo code inktober 23 for 20 off or you can support on patreon or you can support by downloading my art for free copying it sharing it sending it to your grandmother or even selling it as long as you put my name on i release all my art under a creative commons attribution license and sharing it even if you profit from it is supporting me and if you support by becoming a youtube member you will get a fancy green uh name like moona in the chat the new generation only watch shorts yeah so so one of the things that i'm hoping to get to do uh i'm hoping to get to do it this year is start doing more long form youtube as well i started a little bit of that this um this uh spring but the amount of work it's been uh getting the webshop and all of that it's been kind of insane amounts of work mostly for just of it but but also for me and um uh i want to make more long form things and i think i will manage to start doing that this year but it's going to be tough i'm spending a lot of time trying to write long forms content and you know one of the ideas is of course to make podcasts because that is something i've done before but we would need someone for me to interact with with whether that be a uh interview podcast or oh thank you core beast for sending a super chat i've seen some of your videos even the videos where i don't agree with you still gives me a new perspective just wanted to say thank you it's a big refresher to see someone so polite thank you so much yeah the podcasts are a lot of work as well and i would um so last time i did podcasts i was in a completely different work situation and i had the time to edit the posts podcasts and when i didn't have the time to edit then the the other people i podcasted with did it and it was all very haphazard and very like from the shooting from the hip but you know we didn't really have an audience at all immortal warlock remember me me i think i do i think i do it's a postage behind are actually just horrified seeing jesus naked during another schizo episode that is definitely what's going no it's not this is uh i i'm thinking that this is it looks like a zombie you're making almost yes i'm thinking something like that thinking about the resurrected jesus jesus and somehow this isn't to be disrespectful or anything but but but as far as i know people were crucified naked because the humiliation was a part of it for the romans and so when i've drawn jesus or on the cross or jesus after his death i've always drawn him naked because that makes sense to me and i do i do enjoy a little jesus in the morning no um i do enjoy some of the mythology around jesus it's um it's a good story and like the all of the best biblical stories it's a good story that you don't find anywhere in the bible oh this piece is gorgeous really love your art in shorts thank you the first step to getting better is to take a class or buy a book or if it's better at art is it yeah i i'll give you some tips uh first of all um kermit oh hello k i'm sorry running in late i'm so i'm in so human geographic class i didn't understand that sentence but uh i can definitely see you blowing up even more soon you're a very kind hearted person that i can see people finding you extremely easy to like just as i do i you know where uh we are working towards trying to get me blow to blow up more i mean this isn't uh uh it can seem at times like you know oh i'm just posting my art on the interwebs and i didn't know it would become big but you know in my head i've always been big my ego has always been huge and the world is slowly starting to catch up with my ego but that doesn't mean i'll be satisfied because of my the kind of damaged brain i have i will probably never be satisfied so i will always have a reason to know um say oh i just got to a million on tiktok oh i could do 10 million but but it's never going to satisfy because that's not how my brain works but since i know that's not how my brain works i can try to i can try to blow up and get bigger but not do it in an awful way i was typing quickly not to get caught and also if you want to see more longer form videos from me go and watch the ones that i have made already especially sorry especially the one called fölgesvennen the traveling companion and the ones that are after that those are my best ones yet 1349 is mentioning me on instagram so there i are probably promoting some old work i've done with them which is great love that band okay i just saw i will answer alien gamers question about about how to get better and more creative and those are not the same so or not exactly the same so getting better at art is a matter of three things i'd say is studying is doing and it is playing so so you for instance you find a book and you find a book and you read everything in that so you study it and then you apply it by drawing things you complete things projects even if the projects suck and you want to give up you try to finish things to see how far you've come and then you play around and find something new to study you don't have to you do it in those ways you don't have to do the study first and then the application and then the playing you can do the playing and then some application and then some studying and then some playing and then some studying and then from studying to playing and then to application you can do it anyway but those three is the focused study of art which is learning things by drawing it very seriously, even if you're drawing silly things, you're drawing it very seriously, you're trying to get to the bone of how things work, by studying books, by YouTube tutorials, by classes, by all that stuff. And then the other, the next part is the application part and that is really important because a lot of times when you are studying you imagine yourself better than you are. Let me see if I can explain this. So when you use, like, a whole day to study a hand and to figure out how to draw it perfectly and you find the perfect hand, you draw the perfect hand, now you've mastered it, I think. That doesn't mean you still have the skill to actually draw that well in a actual project because when you're doing an actual project, let's say you're doing a big painting, there's all the other stuff as well and all of that has to fit as well and when things start to go wrong with at one point then it doesn't matter if it's a perfectly drawn hand and just likely you will not draw that perfect hand because you're worried about all the other parts as well and then life happens and life always happens and makes it harder. So if you just study and study and study, it's easy to watch other artists and say, oh I could do that and then you start trying to apply what you do and apply what you learn and it comes out and it sucks and it's awful and then you say to yourself, oh yeah, but I didn't really put all my effort into it. Which isn't an excuse. So that's the second part. For a study then apply it and then play around. Playing around is the heart of art. It is playing around can be just doodling and making ink monsters like I do or it can be it can be the it can be buying some new art supplies just because they seemed fun to use. It can be doing something that you have really no interest in doing but you know just trying it out and having fun and you should have fun regularly when drawing. You should play regularly when studying art, when trying to get better at art. And yes, so that was my answer to how to get better at art but it wasn't my answer to how to get more creative. My classmate says hello. Hello classmates. It took me longer to get used to the permanent ups and downs of art than to get decent at actually drawing. Yeah, definitely. Okay, so I'm thinking this Jesus is almost finished. Almost finished Jesus here. We'll just try to do an Enso at the top and see if the gods approve of my Jesus. Or should we have it there? Should the son or Enso be as a halo or should it be here for balance? Thank you so much. Above. Yeah. Halo. Okay. We'll see if the gods approve of this. I think that's a approved halo. I don't think I have to toss away this piece of art. What do you say? 99% approvals. You know, you can't convince all the gods. Okay, so the question about how to get more creativity and how to get more creative and that is very different from art. Art is something, art is a skill. It's a knowledge. It is something where you do get better by using, by making art. Making art is, if we're going to use sports analogies, making art and getting better at making art is sort of like, I mean, sort of like soccer or fencing or basketball or some sort of more technical sport. While creativity is more like just lifting weights. It is, there's still a lot of technique and there's still a lot of things you can do to improve. But it's, it isn't a whole set of rules you have to follow. And you can study it is the movement of muscles up and down. And that means, if you want to get more creative, what you have to do is simply use your creativity more. So I'm going in order to demonstrate what I'm talking about. I'm going to need you to all to name some, you need to, I need you all to name some objects, actions or persons. No, no, objects, actions or creatures. So for example, ice cream or fisticuffs. Okay, so we have dreaming. That's the first one. We'll write it up. Dreaming, we'll just say dream. And then we say birth. Good evening, everyone. We need some more octopus. Perfect. Witch. Okay. Freight train. So we just do train pickles. Okay. Now you can relax. We'll take a lamprey as well. What is a lamprey? Reefy. We'll end at pickles. So now we have brainstormed a bunch of meaningless ideas or words. They mean nothing without anything, any context. We have to put a context to it for it to mean something. The parasitic for sure. But we don't need that. So one way to generate more context here is to take these words and generate some new words. Okay, so what I like to do often is take opposites. So what is the opposite of a dream? Got to jump off, but I absolutely love this live and your videos by thank you Jimmer Jammer. Nightmare is the opposite. It could be waking. It could be boredom. It could be whatever. What is the opposite of birth? It could be reality. Yeah. But we're just randomly going to pick the opposite. Dying. So we're just having death. It could be sex. Decay. It could be opposite of octopus. What's the opposite of an octopus? Sushi. Okay. Sushi is the opposite of octopus. What's the opposite of a witch? I was going to say a thing, but a figure to explicit. A cleric. So cleric, witch, train. What is the opposite of a train or a freight train? The opposite could be anything, but a polar opposite is known. I mean, it's all a matter of definition. Train. So walking is the opposite of a train. Shoes walking. Pickles. What is the opposite of pickles? And when we've done that, this is where we, the notion of stillness is opposite of pickled, but cucumber. Okay. So now for this creativity exercise, we're going to take these words and we don't have to use all of them. We can just use randomly those we want. And we're going to make ideas based on them. But there is one rule. And that rule is that you have to make the stupidest idea you can. If your idea is good, then we will grade you down with our imaginary grade system. And we will perhaps even scold you. For instance, if you take dream, nightmare, octopus, and you, oh, that's the Call of Cthulhu story. Then you get minus points because Call of Cthulhu is a good story. Okay. So let's start making some stupid idea. So we take the walking cucumbers. I like walking cucumbers. Cucumbers dream of making, making a train to escape their pickle with witches. So that is my first story based on this. Walking cucumbers dream of making, making train to escape their pickle with witches. Okay. That is a pretty stupid story. Do any of you have a more stupid story than this? Let us give you a moment to come up with an even more stupid story. Sushi eating octopus. That makes sense because octopuses eat watery things. So that that's just an octopus. So you get scolded for having too good an idea. A nightmarish train attempting to kill a pickle birthing cleric. I love the image of a cleric and it just falling pickles out of him. We'll see. Do we have anything even more stupid than that? Remember the stupidest idea wins and what you win is the honor and the glory of saying I was the stupidest today. Let's see if we can get one more story out of you guys. An octopus cleric dreaming of a giving birth by witchcraft to an alive cucumber while he's eating pickles. Nightmare about death with a witch watching. That's a good idea. A train cursed by a witch whoever enters go into dream state. Someone feeds him a pickle. Okay. When I can get my art stuff I'm going to draw a cleric octopus battling a witch on a train while a cucumber is dreaming of a pickle. So yeah. Okay let's go with a witch selling pickles to a cleric. Okay we'll go with that. So we have a witch. I can draw a witch and she's selling pickles. This is a cucumber to a cleric. Okay. So what is the action? What's happening in this image? The way I see it it is she's offering something to the cleric to get something back. But is her intentions good or is it bad? Is she trying to help the cleric by giving him some delicious pickles or is she trying to poison the cleric with poison pickles also called pickles. Let's go for number two. She is an evil witch. Okay. So she wants to kill the the the the she wants to kill the cleric. So now bribes the cleric to leave the coven alone. Yeah which is tired of that. This was really the bribe. Now I'm just changing the story but this was really but this time she's going to poison him. Okay. So then that is trying to poison the priest that is a bad action. So now we're going to I'm too tired to do this exercise. Okay she let's just say that she gets the priest to eat the pickles. That's the priest eating pickles and he's saying nom nom and he dies. Okay. So generally this is a sort of a negative twist in the story and a twist negative chain of events in the story for at least for the priest. Now we're going to make up another scene which is the opposite. This one went from life towards death. Now we're going to make something that goes the opposite way. Happy spooky season. Okay so so what we say is she was in a pretty good place here but after she kills the priest she gets chased by the villagers with their pitchforks and has to hide in her cookie house. Okay so that is a very bad chain of events for the for the witch. Okay now we're going to turn it once again and we're going to say that the priest rises from the dead as a zombie. This is the priest now as a zombie and he attacks the villagers and the witch costs a spell on him and kills him and then the witch is crowned queen of the village. Look at my nice art and that's the end. Okay so the point of this whole exercise is a few different things. One of them is let's say we have a brain here. Okay so when the brain thinks about things it sort of highlights it in somewhere in the brain. Okay so it's thinking about an umbrella and then around this umbrella there's loads of other things that are associated with it that you can't start you can start thinking about but but if you're going to if your idea is an umbrella and raincoat and rain that is of limited interest. So what we're going to do is use tricks to make something else over here we have the sun and with the sun we also think of uh alligators and then we take the alligators and we mix them with the umbrella and we get parachuting alligators and this is the basis of all creativity. It is not connecting objects that are supposed to be together because then you get ideas other people have already thought about. Creativity is connecting things that seemingly have nothing to do with each other and finding those connections. In order to find those connections you can't be afraid of being stupid. Being stupid is a part of being creative allowing yourself to be stupid and to play is a part of being creative and once you have your parachuting alligator idea you start playing around with the logic of it so it you have one idea that goes upwards one that goes downwards one that goes upwards one that goes down and then you have a dramatic curve and then you actually have a story and it's not going to be a good story because we're doing this in order to create bad stories but that's a part of being able to to produce good stories and good ideas is not being afraid of the bad ones because you need to get the bad ones out and the ability for your brain to jump between this and this and this and this and jump between all these different parts and make connections and then take those connections and find the logical chain of events that spawn out of them that's the whole basis of creativity and it's the same in science and in writing and in art it's all variations of that okay and and by okay let's just find another paper let's find another paper and do today's daily ink monster if I can find a free paper that's not got drawings on it and I'll show you how to put that in practice in the ink monster I'm making so this isn't going to be oh here you go here I have it this is how you get new ideas making it coherent in some way no this is an exercise what I show now is an exercise that you can use you can use it if you're stuck or you can use it if you are training to get more creative but it's not something you sit down and do for me I a lot of the elements that I showed in that little exercise are things that I do naturally and by doing them over and over again you're making your creativity if you view your creativity as a muscle you're making it stronger by repetition it does need some rest once in a while it is exhausting to have your brain jump around and scatter like that and to think about the logical conclusions of things but these types of exercises and there are hundreds of them including the ink monsters are great ways of beginning to exercise your brain towards creativity so let's do a ink plot we're going to do one I'm not going to involve you guys in this one because I'm just going to tell how what I'm seeing and what I'm thinking as I do it so this is a nice ink plot and we have a couple of different things we have this very nice line down here we have this that looks like teeth we have this that almost looks like a face and I will I will go with the teeth because why not okay so this is something that's hungry you can see it in how it's opening its mouth you can't probably see the mouth even but you can see it in how it's opening it and I'm doing like this and it's not happy okay so what does this little thing tell us about it it tells us it's a broad mouth now the first thing I'm thinking now is deep ones I didn't know that I was thinking about deep ones when I started messing around with the mouth but now I'm thinking about H.B. Lovecraft's deep ones I was thinking a mummy really but by messing around by playing around with a visual potential of the mouth I started thinking deep one and deep ones have like gills and perhaps some tentacles out of their gills and I hope people are doing well yes I think we are and we'll do sort of big library eye okay so so we have this deep one here and that means either this can be like this could be a part of a boat and he's coming over the boat or it could be a wave hmm so now I can't draw a Luffy because I release all my art for free use so you can download my art you can copy it you can share it you can even sell it for a profit and all of that is completely legal as long as you credit me or my name okay and so now I'm just stalling for time as I'm trying to figure out what to do with this actually this shape is what I'm going to go by goodbye it does seem like the monster from blue lagoon I'm guessing that was indeed Lovecraft inspired in some way timing wise it seems it could it could have just have been actually we're going to experiment wise as I read the deep one story but it's pretty much how I remember them something like that yeah it could be turning into wool for something but we're doing a deep one but what is the deep one going to do we're going to use the type of imagination exercises to figure out it could be on a boat it could be or he's looking a little bit emancipated no emancipated he's looking a little bit hungry I'd say so we could and the shading is very strong on this side so what we could do is make his shadow here okay so we see it says shadow and then make a shadow um emaciated yeah that's different from emancipated he will be really like thin and bony Jesus looked a me emaciated I don't know how to pronounce this word slow internet tonight is it then okay I'm going to mess up the shadowing here slow internet for is is it a bad connection am I stuttering that might be my mistake what time is it there it is um half past seven in the evening here your live stream is fine for me excellent yeah where are everyone located now that we're okay so what I'm doing now is I'm this is sort of a hole or something where light comes in north eastern India California Mississippi Ireland India wow and I'm showing the deep ones arms are chained together like this I don't know where the chain is going but we won't worry about that this is actually my first stream excellent hope you're enjoying it southern most point of Africa so I'm getting really tired now especially with the covid so I won't be doing this a lot longer keep the edges kind of a shadow of a man or a thing that is definitely not a deep one and then by by using the techniques I showed you by by taking ideas and turning them opposite we have the beginning of a story about a person that traps deep ones so and that's not necessarily it could be a schlocky type of horror story it could be something much more worked out and uh complicated than just a schlock horror story but that this is the basis of all ideas or of all creativity it is taking things that are not supposed to be put together and finding ways to put them together okay and this isn't my best drawing and I actually think that I don't like this drawing enough to sign it and make it an ink monster so probably one of my kids will get it because now I'm really really really tired oh but basically let's see if we find the paper we used just a few minutes ago oh I lost it already never mind lost it already so let's this is great thank you it's the government hello how are you still not recovered completely from the covid but and now very tired after a long and mentally hard stream I used to do these classes on creativity and I did those for many years mostly for kids and stuff like that but also for you know teachers and for mensa and for the for different types of people I'd like to listen to teachers hmm you should take some rest now how long have you been streaming today one and a half hour and especially talking about creativity and going through this creativity exercise uh when not quite well from the covid that was hard oh yeah I found the story with me so the story of the witch who killed a cleric with a cucumber with a pickle and became queen of the village was created with exactly the same types of techniques as the story of the imprisoned deep one and yeah I should really do some more videos about these creativity techniques and about how to apply them uh because that's something I've done a lot and that that is one of my strength as an artist is how easily creativity comes for me especially when I use my creativity a lot uh I have done some shorter how to make an ink monster videos that actually do touch upon these things but not so uh not in a direct fashion but it's based on the same principles but the problem of course is that making tutorials is a whole lot of work it's a whole lot of work to write them and then to draw them out in a sensible fashion and then comes to editing after that so so this is not something I will have the resources to do right now but if you would like to see more tutorials and how to content in the future consider becoming a member to support the youtube channel uh or supporting on patreon or going to my store and buying originals at den ungehardholm.com using the promo code inktober 23 for 20 percent off or just sharing my art because it's all available for free use consider doing those things so that I and my team can be allowed to do more interesting fun work so we can have the resources to do that right now we are basically two people or two and a half we're really three people but I'm trying to make a point here if I do all the drawing I do the writing the creativity stuff and uh uh and then Christopher does the web store and uh the internet stuff uh not the internet stuff the algorithm stuff and trying to to figure out those things and we need help from you know we need an editor I probably need an assistant because I'm a bit of a mess and um yeah so so if we get more support or you know more more money from youtube and from facebook and from from sales and all of that stuff that means more freedom to do more projects and do them well and that would absolutely include uh doing tutorials but that's not going to happen today kim kicks ass who here knows an editor yeah uh do them as streams yeah workshops could be done but that's also a little bit what does your t say it says torture device it's uh and it's art by me it's a band in bergen that I don't think they did very much before splitting up but they hired me to do a short so yeah I'm thinking about asking online for for editors as well but but um we have to figure out how to do it right okay now I have to go and I'll be back tomorrow drawing more ink monsters and uh do you have a discord server yes uh most of the channels are patreon exclusive but there are some open ones as well just search for them or find patreon.com slash kim holm and become a member there bye
