I think white is essential for a beginner. Maybe because you are already a pro that's why you are annoyed with white being included in a beginner palette 😅
To me. Holbein are best at everything they do. There pencils are even better than prismacolor and caran d'ache. I bet it was amazing there, Japan is my dream hooiday 💞💞💞
The boards first and the screen tones on a live with alcohol markers or a mixed media marker/paint pen extravaganza!
this turned out sooooo gorgeous, im in love!! thanks for all the advice as well!
That first piece is wonderful !! It's rare to see you draw landscapes this detailed so it's a real treat. ☺️
2 or 3 ❤❤
Uni Mitsubishi pencils are special because they don't smudge easily and the graphite doesn't have the super shiny sheen! That's 2 of their defining qualities and what makes them stand out from regular, cheap pencils. The Uni pencils are affordable and great quality. I highly recommend you try them out some more and I personally like the way they interact with watercolors but, to each their own.
I‘d love to see the illustration boards first :)
Manga screens pls!
Super vlog 😊😊😊
Great video! Your landscape page turned out so beautiful 😭😭😭❤❤❤ (I also vote manga screen tone sheets 🤭)
I really appreciate you taking your time and making such a thorough review! The paints are gorgeous. I thought of Taehyun as soon as you started on the butterfly! 🦋
i dont think i know this idol. id love to see the manga screen things, it got me curious. im pleased to have had a new video soon. i loved this kit, i already have a good amount of supplies, but i would not be able to not by it, i do agree it couldve been more customized though
I'm not usually a fan of green but those greens are gorgeous!! well every colour is to be honest 🥰
I would love to see you use the manga screentones!! I've been so curious about them ever since you shared that you bought them, and I'm even thinking of getting some myself when I visit Japan next year. I imagine it would be such a cool element to add to artwork. I would love to see how they turn out and your thoughts on how they work!
Yeeeess definitely want to see more art supplies.
try the screen tones next!
Spoiling us with another video so quickly 💖
Please try the illustration boards next also I really enjoyed this video. It’s a treat having you post videos so close together.
would love to see how you use screentones!!
Is it wonwoo from svt?
I think it's taehyun from txt
I think I've been missing out not having a magenta in my pallet...
You totally have it’s the best color
It changed my life to have a magenta. I got a quinacridone magenta in a watercolour set and it really is amazing. This and ultramarine blue get me the most beautiful purples. Great for pinks and cooler reds without dropping too far blue. I also create lighter skin tones with my magenta and yellow ochre.
I can't have a palette without magenta and opera pink, they're my absolute favourites 💞💞💞
Tina your timing of this video and review and painting is perfect,a friend returned from a recent Japan trip and gifted me this Miyazaki set.I think for me it will be for sketchbook working.(Matt)p.s have to say I'm really loving your custom Craftamo brush set,I use them a lot and it is a really versatile set.
Tina please review the Shikashi illustration boards for a next video as my friend also gifted me some of these too and it's not something I have used before,so would really value your insight on these boards from a working artist's perspective.(Matt)
Manga screen tone sheets!! Also, great video as always, Tina! ❤
Never been this early but interesting that you brought art supplies while you were in Japan glad you got the experience to go out of country I wish I went out of Country you should do a sketchbook tour next but do it in your new one after you fill up all the pages
Aww this is such a sweet little painting kit, love the pamphlet it came with!! <3
Oh goodness! Doodle Date in the wild, two of my fav artists/UA-camrs, commenting on another artist/UA-camr I love.
Love this!! 💙 Get plenty of rest and feel better soon! Covid is going around a ton right now and it can really mess you up
Ooooh my gosh. Each month’s portrait keeps getting better and better! I can’t wait to see July’s since I’m a Leo!! Also hope your voice feels better, if you haven’t, try eating gummy bears or marshmallows. The gelatin helps with sore throats, it’s a tip I leaned in choir a while back. :)
Those silver accents really POP.
The way you draw hands !! 😍😍 I always struggle with hands
I think UA-cam's algorithm may be affecting your views... I had to actively search your videos again so they would start showing up for me. I don't know if it would help, but maybe a reminder on Instagram of your UA-cam content...? Anyway, thank you for your dedication and hard work. Take care of yourself.
these pink tones are so beautiful! 🥰
Aw get well soon Tina!! Also the gloves came out absolutely perfect they are so beautifully transparent. And the background came together so seamlessly as well
I love her expression on this illustration! Also, this advice is super helpful as someone who wants to take art more seriously❤❤
son hermosos!!!!
Making art full time is my life dream - I amways love hearing people's advice for it. 🩷 This piece has some of my favourite colours !! I hope your throat feels better soon
All the pearls are so pretty ahhh💜 Thank you for all the advice🥰
So excited for this print 😊
Hopefully you feel better I feel sorry that your voice is still recovering from being sick also this is really helpful hearing yes I wanna be a full time artist but I’ll keep practicing until I get there which will take a while but I have to learn the basics sketching, outlining and more I wanna Learn even blending the colors to make your art look real
This turned out beautifully! I hope you feel better soon!
We SHOULD get paid time off. Ahem, government?… Either way, this Cancer girlie is so beautiful!! I love the way you rendered her skin. 🫶🏻
Tinaaaaaaaa they look better every day ❤❤❤❤❤ I loveeeeee this series of paintings
Holy cow, this may be your best one yet! The colours are so dreamy... I've really been loving this series of paintings, the more subtle allusions to the zodiac signs makes for such a fresh and interesting take on each one.
This zine or print collection or whatever you do with this is going to be so amazing! 🤩
Wow this process was so soothing to watch. I love how you did the waves, so stunning! And the color palette! And the gloves 😍 I can‘t really give tips on successfully being self employed, because having been self employed is what got me diagnosed with adhd 😬 But maybe my experience is valuable to some. I struggled so so much to schedule things and even more to actually do them. I became stressed & depressed with too much time on my hands I wasn’t able to use. The lack of structure was not good for me, structuring myself somehow didn‘t work. After I got diagnosed, I was able to develop some strategies to be able to produce work, but it was still difficult. Mind you I wasn‘t working as an indie artist but as a personal trainer with an instagram presence and my YT channel here is proof of me never actually getting into it properly and changing the business name like 3-4 times 🫣 I‘m now at school to become a physiotherapist and due to my experience of working independently, I am able to make a decision that works better for me for when I‘m done: work part time employed and part time self employed, so I can always rely on my part time employed income and have less pressure for the self employed part. I love the freedom of self employed work, but I need structure part time of my week to actually make use of the freedom. Also my self employed part time work is allowing me to make a decent amount of money on the side while being in school, because I optimized limited time-output for maximal money-input for my adhd 😅 It also helps if you are some sort of „specialist“ in your niche that people eventually look to for knowledge/skill/etc. this frees you a little from having to constantly overexert yourself with and allows you research-time to improve the quality of your work, making people be interested in what you have to offer even more
Your art is stunning, I love it ❤
oh no your voice! i hope you get better soon! this illustration is gorgeous! i love the colors and the waves in the bg turned out AMAZING! i second you on youtube videos taking a loong time to make!! but i give myself a lazy day after I upload hehe
Beautiful artwork. ^^
Feel Better Tina and another stunning piece. For me as an artist I have to keep myself to a schedule so I don't don't fall behind on stuff.
