- I hope you all enjoy this new longer format with complete commentary and discussion for the entire painting. The painting itself took about 2 hours but you are seeing 3x speed. I feel that it's still slow enough to watch without much of an issue. Thanks so much!
Final Piece!

Sorry for the Audio Bias to the left ear! I re-tweaked the audio levels in premiere but can't replace the video without totally deleting this one. I will make sure to keep my eyes and ears out going forward so I don't blast your left ear off. Ty all for understanding!
My left ear is well-informed. xD
Quick fix: In Windows, you can go to Ease of Access in the Control Panel, then Audio and set the audio to Mono.
Hi dave great video! if you want to fix your audio when this happens you just need to: right click on the audio > audio channels > check the box of Clip R to the L Media Source Channel!
No problem, Dave. It doesn't get in the way. It's still a great demo.
You can also go on Effects > audio > Fill right with left and drag this effect to the audio, in Premiere to fix it more easily, if it ever happens again. 😊
i like longer tutorials more cause i listen to them while drawing so i dont feel alone lol
So i'm not only one who do that huh? XD
Bro literally me
podcasts
Wow... I was thinking the same thing.... I'm glad I'm not alone.
@@BustedBattery yea podcasts sure are cool but art videos are better imo

Nice
😂😂
uwu
@@vadomendy Im moaning
when he said it took him about 2 hours... 😭 (i spend over 2 hours just to sketch it just right)
xD same, my art usually takes 6 hours to finish haha
12−24 hours here lol. I'm way too slow.
Same I take FOREVER to get anything done
@@sikyu9351 I think you get faster with practice. I always get distracted with things around me so that's why I take Hella long because I'm not always looking and drawing my piece, but I'm also very slow. Lool.
@@unaestrella1876 I say 12−24 hours as in _actual_ time spent on the piece. My program automatically records the amount of time spent, otherwise I'd say I spend weeks on a piece oof. I am hopeful though that with practice I will get faster. Thanks.

21:00 How long the actual piece talk to create
I'm 6 minutes in and I just want to address you talking about the guilt of not constantly creating, which weights heavy on me (especially since I feel this pressure of becoming a professional asap, for various reasons). I'm really glad that you sometimes bring up topics such as this, I'd love to hear you talk more about this and other similar things that a lot of us are probably resonating with and I'd love to know how you personally deal with your artistic struggles, how you cope with them and how you manage to stay sane and not beat yourself up to death. By the way, love the final result, looks awesome! Stay safe and keep it up, Dave!
I can't wait to be even more open and just chat while keep making more videos going forward. thanks so much!
two years later now, how's it going man? [edit: hi fellow romanian!]
@@ms10089 wow, its already been that long. Hey, romanian! Thanks for dropping the comment, made my day!
I suppose its going in the right direction, but maybe slower than I would've hoped. Then again, patience never was one of my virtues. You'll probably have the chance to find out more about me and my artistic journey sometime in the near future, if you were ever curious enough. I have a youtube channel for art and I will start focusing on it way more. You can find me under RazvArt should you consider joining along on my journey, would be happy to see you there : )
Are you an artist yourself?
@@AldrinLabs Just checking in and saw the yt focus never happened. Wanted to ask if this was intentional and if not maybe now is the time :)
Personally I don't understand the whole "make videos short" like I get some people have hard time paying attention over a long period of time.. but my personal opinion I like the longer videos. As long as what you are showing or talking about, tutorial or not... I think the time is worth it. I'd rather have a tutorial that is a hour long as long as I learn something. Or I really get to see how the artist finishes something at every step. Personally I'd like to see a video about how some who does freelance like what their day to day, and I mean start to finish on that business.
Appreciate and love the video Dave! How is the free lance work going?
Yeah and if someone wants a shorter amount of video they can just click through the video.
I find longer videos super intimidating for some reason lmao.
i don't think it's so much that people have a problem with longer videos it's more that some videos will take FOREVER to get to what the actual video is about. I have a perfect example of this, i forgot how to do clipping masks so i looked up a video on it and there were a ton of like 10-15 min videos on it with like 5 minute intros talking about nothing and then i found a 49 second video that showed me exactly what i was looking for and nothing more than that. I know like one of the other guys said you can just click through it but still, for me its more of a pet peeve than anything
Yeah I get it’s “to each their own” my thing is just that if I’m looking through a couple tutorials on rendering and shading I go for the shorter ones cuz that’s compressed tips and info so I don’t have to feel like it was wasted time. But if it’s just playing in the background I don’t mind lol
This kind of piece would take me at least 8 hours. This guy said he took only 2 hours. What a legend
Dave: my thumbnails are such a mess
Me: No, no, no those thumbnails make me instantly click on the video and enjoy!
I think that by "thumbnails" he meant his initial sketch idea, not the thumbnail of the video
He means the initial sketch idea (which is also be called thumbnail) not the thumbnail of the video.
I love when people describe drawing as an adventure. It gets me all hyped up to start another piece! Plus makes me not feel so bad when the end result isn't perfect, since it is truly all about the journey.
This is the perfect format. It's so good to see and get a good explanation on why make those design choices.

THE TALENT ON THIS MAN
For me, what helps me stay creative when I’m in a rut, or a mood, whatever you would like to call it, I google random things. Last time was mushrooms, not the psychedelic kind, just normal mushrooms. I ended up fascinated by “ink caps,” or “ inky caps,” depending on which part of the region/globe you’re in. So I ended drawing those and jotting down various things about them as I went along. That took up about 6 hours of research and drawing. It was kind of fun, and I even ended up buying a book about various other mushrooms in my part of the hemisphere. So, I just look up different things til something interests me.
tbh I love long video. I think this is not super complicating or too much detail, basically you just try to show us the very basic but not extremely basic like understand the tools, etc. A newbie like me need it so much. And the speed is enough for me to understand what are you doing. Thank you. =]]]]
I like these from 0 to 100 videos. Where you start with a completely untouched canvas and go all the way, then I can see your entire process which is very soothing to watch, destressing a lot.
I like having these on in the background when drawing or doing other stuff.
Thanks for the videos! :)
This is how i think my art is going to look like but the reality is that i overblend my work untill it becomes too soft.
christian iliev try making blending the middle process for your values
This format is perfect for me. I can just kick back, pull out my tablet and listen. There are no silent moments. I love this :)
This had so many great messages… Thank you so much for sharing not only your creation but your insight to help all of us in getting some perspective over our anxiety.
Have never seen you before so take my opinion with a grain of salt: I like this long format because you give insight into the mindset. If you were trying to teach a specific skill, I think short and to the point works. But for big picture, sort of top down thought, I like longform.
I really enjoy this, I love that I am able to see the whole process and understand it more than in some tutorials even.
Loving this, would definitely watch entire 2 hours of the process. Also your voice is so comforting. And thank you for all the explanations, it does help a lot
Love this format. It's a great to see the art work develop slowly enough at this 3x speed to appreciate the process and to hear your thoughts alongside it. Would love to see more of these!
Loved this piece, really helping me as a digital artist watching your process from start to finish :) Thank you
I have nothing against long tutorials as long as they are tutorials. Don't deroute from the topic and I will be listening.
About what you sled: YES I loved this painting and the whole process. I watched the entire video and I didn’t mind at all it was “long”. I’m actually planning on watching it again and try to copy the painting as you go. I’m sure it’ll take me more than 2 hours though!
So thank you very much for such a video. I loved every bit of it: the process, you talking “behind the scenes”and explaining each step and the “why”s of it.
Thank you.
Thanks for this Dave, this is so useful! It's always great to hear another artists stream of consciousness when it comes to creating. Love love loveee this kinda set up. This is entirely what I needed to keep me motivated to finish my paintings. Amazing work as always.
This video was so great, I'd love more like it. Being walked through the whole process is refreshing, and it feels very motivating to watch the whole pic unfold!
No doubt this is a great format for sketching vid's! I love the longer versions with voice over where the artist talks us trough their process. These are the videos I actually can learn from. PLEASE MORE OF THIS!
I love this in depth tutorial! These are the most helpful. They just take time and patience.
Def more of these! I learn so much more by watching these longer, in-depth from start to finish videos. :)
I personally love this approach to both your piece (especially the loose sketch and primary use of overpainting!) and your tutorial format, it is more informative and insightful compared to quick, often surface level videos so I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to more like this - thank you so much for your generosity and tips Dave!
This is absolutely awesome, thank you so much for sharing! I learn so much from artists when they post real-time or close to real-time videos of their process, and especially when they talk it through. Everyone works so differently; there are always little nuggets of value to be picked up through their process.
Wow, loved seeing the process. This piece came out so nice imo. The thought process and order of steps you took is very helpful.
Love it man! These times aren’t easy but great to see everyone kind of getting back in the groove. Was a challenge for me as well. Thanks for sharing again great work!
I’m so blessed to find your channel. I love the way you explain things and the way you paint. It’s relaxing to watch and listen but still very entertaining and helps me learn, I appreciate your content so keep on doing what you’re doing! ❤️
I love these longer videos with added commentary. You get to know what the artist thinks and how he makes decisions while actually doing the things he thinks. That's what is so valuable about these videos. I totally advocate for more of these videos. Thanks for this. It helped me a lot. Stay strong and healthy.
I really liked being able to see the process from start to finish here! Watching the way you paint and render was inspirational and taught me many things! Digital art is loaded with tools I’m still learning to master, and videos like these are always so helpful
bro you're voice is so good. It was so calming/fun drawing along with you
this drawing is just mindblowingly good wtf
absolutely loved watching this
Hi Dave, I've had so ma y little questions and obstacles in trying to overcome in my art at the mo and you answered them all with this video. I way prefer this format. You get to see the whole process without it being too long. I learnt so much. Thank you!
You’re so in control of your art and it amazes me. True talent ❤️
Thanks Dave for sharing your tips, skills and time with us! Stay well!
Long videos are great - feel free to post both maybe. The sped up commentary and then full length video. As other artist below have said I love long art videos and streams because I draw along while I watch/listen - it's inspiring and keeps me company.
Loved this! The depth you go into explaining your thoughts is awesome. I get artist fatigue as well and it’s neat to see you push through that. Love the long voice over video
I really like how you completed the art and the commentary separately. I personally don't like when the art is disrupted for the sake of focusing on the commentary or vice versa. It seems like a very fluid and enjoyable presentation when they are completed individually, avoiding any interruptions or pauses in either. Thank you for sharing the creation of this beautiful piece!
This is a great combination of enjoying your streaming conversation and your painting process in a easy to view TH-cam format. I love this. Would definitely appreciate more of this. Thanks again for sharing. Great piece too!!
Wow. You don't know how much this means to artists like me. Thanks Dave!
For such a casual short session, I feel like I learned so much in how I handle my own style. Thank you for the insight, sir!
Thanks Dave! I really like this format of the talk-throughs :)
Hope you're keeping safe!
Found your channel yesterday and so happy I did. You'r such an amazing artist and love the videos, I learn so much for you by watching. Stay safe and have a nice weekend.
Thank you for your amazing painting and commentary. It helped me understand the process I have to go through to make a complete art work. It was really helpful and entertaining.
Thank you! It was really helpful. Perfect speed😊
Dave thank you so much for existing, everytime I find myself frustrated after attempting something, one of your videos pops up and just fills me with inspiration like, "hey, I can do that!" so I go ahead start creating again. Just wanted to let you know!
I admire your art style a lot. Seeing your other videos and artworks really gives me a sense of what I would want to create. Keep doing you!
This was amazing to watch transform. I decided to see how people find a starting point in their work and you sharing your thought process really has helped with that.
I love your work! I've been working with illustrator fotr years but you've inspired me to paint. I've learned a lot from watching your videos and have been having fun learning the skills to do more of what I love. Thanks for inspiring myself and the many thousands our there!
Short videos are useless, I personally like this kind of videos, with commentary. There are tips and details to pick up both in art and in voice
I watched this video on a few stages of my still early art journey and everytime i watch it (or any other video of yours) i learn even more or expand on already learned knowledge, this is such a nice feeling learning so much and then putting it all to the test and expanding the skill part , you are Epic Dave and your arts are very inspiring, stay awsome 💖⚜️
I love watching these kinda videos to help spark creativity and motivation to get drawing, hope to keep seeing more walkthrough pieces 😊
Long videos are the best I enjoy the process !!
I really enjoyed this! It was great to have on while I worked and a really interesting insight into your process. The end result looks amazing!
This has been helping me alot. I felt stuck with my painting for a long time and now this is helping me out alot to just expand on techniques and goals to do on every painting
Yes, please! More of this, Dave. I'm sure I'm one of many who plays long chill educational videos like this one in one monitor while working in the other.
Thanks for sharing!
that was AWESOME! Thank you so much! Looking forward to new videos!
I'm really passionate in drawing and dream if becoming a concept artist for adventure or action games but I just can't get it right since I've only recently moved to digital and was was so lost. so I kept looking for tutorials and always felt too overwhelmed and defeated when I understood nothing.
But after watching this while drawing I calmed down and actually managed to get somewhere for once! Your voice is so soothing and calm and it made me at ease so thank you thank you so much
I really like it when I can see the artist's process and not some speedy painting, I also really enjoy your commentary. It add's an extra touch of calmness and it's suprisingly intresting. Keep up the good work!!
Love this tutorial. I really enjoy both watching these ones, and the longer ones where its not sped up. Beautiful art! Thank you so much for sharing your process with us. Its very interesting to watch.
LOVE these, they help out a TON. It's informative to know a process
You are so gentle and calming and wise. I absolutely adore you and this is the first of your videos I am watching. Big sub. 💜
Amazing workflow. I relate so much with what you are saying. For the first few weeks I didn't really feel like painting anything, feeling guilty for playing and not creating stuff. But after a practice piece I am feeling again that wonderful passion for painting personal stuff. So nice to hear other artists talking about it!
I'd really like more tutorials like this! This was very helpful and nice to place in the background for inspiration - The final piece is gorgeous! thank you for posting!
I've been stuck on a portrait piece for days and this helped loads, thank youu!
When he said "on the right side... sketchy... that's not done"
Me: But I like those sketchy lines... mixed with some rendered. It looks like it has sort of emotional-feel-ish. But, that just me.
Me toooooo
Yeah, that's a badass painting, but I found myself feeling a bit let down when all that cool linework started to disappear.
I love this full commentary, it's super insightful and a joy to paint along with
This is great, I loved seeing the process and hearing your commentary over it. I wouldn't mind a 3 hour painting to be honest. It's great to hear about the type of stuff you're working through in your head when your at each stage.
Good talk about getting up during a burnout or block... I needed that Tnx a bunch
First of all, thank you. Thank you for your generosity in giving us these helpful videos for free. This is not only a beautiful piece of art but the video and your commentary were incredibly useful. I have about four pages filled with notes on all the things you said and the things I saw. Thank you again and I hope we see more of this type of video. Personally I don't mind the length at all.
I love this character and design so much, the way you balanced the different colors is so beautiful. I would love to see you draw her again in the future. You're definitely an inspiration to me on how to digitally paint. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us.
This video came up on my recommended and I really enjoyed it. The painting is beautiful. I love the style and your explanations were engaging. I like the longer tutorial!
I love long commentary of art pieces, especially talking about what you were thinking when u decided to do X or Y. It helps me to understand ur process and see if it can help with my own creative process as well! Great work!
absolutely beautiful
Your artwork is so amazing!! Very inspiring for a young artist like me and the commentary is so helpful!
Thank you so so much for making this! Its so hard to find some extensive tutorials when you're trying to get into digital art and arent sure of how to even start the process. This really helped me a lot, thank you!
Amazing process!!! Thanks for sharing.
I really needed this rn so thank you!! This was really helpful seeing your process. I'd definitely watch more of these longer videos
This was very refreshing and the speed was perfect. Watching fast timelapses dont give me enough time to get whats going on. The voiceover explaining what was on your mind while painting also makes me feel like im not the only one who loses momentum and gets annoyed at cleaning up lines. Thanks!
I'm just starting to learn digital painting and wanted to thank you for sharing your process, it was very helpful.
Feels good to come back to drawing after a break. For me it was to loosen up and just start drawing again. It is fun again to look for inspiration, like this video, and start creating. Stay well and keep creating!
I really really enjoyed you explaining the process. I also like how you mentioned the mental state of an artist; how we definitely have ups and downs when doing a piece; it helped me realize I'm not the only one. I learned a lot, thank you! The painting is very well done. I love the color and shapes as well as the movement you gave :)
I haven't done art nor do I see myself getting good at it but lately, your videos have inspired me to trust the process of channeling my inner creativity into digital art. I look forward to learning more and gradually do better! Really appreciate this vid ❤️
2 things. I'm glad I'm not the only one that has the almost random, I'll figure it out process. Second your voice is so lovely and ASMR approved. Thank you.
Dave, thank you for your work. It's inspiring me as hell !
Great work! Thank you once more!
Thank you for making videos like this, it s so cool for me to paint while listening to you and occasionally steal some ideas from you 😁
Man, your art is just mesmerizing. The way it looked at around 15:00 to 20:00 was the most inspiring thing I've seen in a bit. The way the rendered face contrasted with the sketchy everything else looks really sweet. I feel like I learned a bunch from watching this, so thanks :D
I love watching the whole process, thanks a lot!
amazing, you work so fast its incredible. Thanks for the work, much appreciated
First video of yours I've seen. Exactly what I was looking for: being able to see and hear process and ideas. More please. I will watch every minute of every one.
I AM LOVE WITH YOU'RE DRAWINGS!!!!!
