Hey lovely people! I hope you will enjoy this video! Sorry for the first soundless upload! My brain is full of holes and I uploaded the wrong version T_T I also wanted to give you a heads up that my next 3 (if not 6, it will depend on whether I manage to put more together) videos (including this one) will be sponsored by Skillshare. :) Since I don't upload as often as I used to, that means that most of my videos in the next few months will be sponsored, I hope that's ok with everyone! I am super thankful to Skillshare for being such a consistent sponsor of my channel, sponsorships really are such a great help for small creators like me. Thank you to all of you also for always being so incredibly kind! You are truly the best audience an artist could ask for, and I hope you are all well
Congratulations! :D skillshare seems like a great program and sponsor, I keep wanting to try but I have to wait a bit ^^; no worries, I'm sure we're all just happy to see your videos and happy for you
@@myriamtillson no problem! ^.^ thank you for being so kind and just generally wonderful, I liked your practice advice to pogito too, I'm not sure if you said it before as it seems familiar but in either case, it's great advice and you worded it nicely
I absolutely love watching any video where you show your progress - it feels so personally validating when I see you throwing out multiple messy and sometimes unfinished sketches as you just let your imagination wander while trusting it will take you where you know you want to eventually land. And it is also reassuring to see that you don’t go from sketch to final piece in a matter of hours, but rather days, or weeks, or sometimes even more than a month. It just... it makes me feel less of a fraud or a failure when I am uncertain or just feeling plain slow. Thank you so much for all your videos!!!
funny aint it i tried so hard and never got so,, in the end i never improve. its like doing weights and never gaining. its like i work twice as hard as anyone. but its for not. i need a pros judgement/critique on my art vid..
Ah I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found it useful, thank you! Something I really hope to be able to emphasize and show in my videos is how every single artist's process is different and valid. Some people are able to jump into a painting immediately (that used to be me), some take a little longer like me now, and some take a very long time. None of those approaches are better or worse, they are all valid and will depend on how each of us works best. So long as you are creating what feels true to you, you are not a failure or a fraud. There is no higher truer definition of what an artist is and how they should work to fit the "job description" and be valid. It is all down to the individual and what fits each of us best. My way isn't the "right" way, it's just my right way. For now. Who knows how it will change as I keep going :) Your way is just as valid for you as mine if for me.
@@myriamtillson “So long as you are creating what feels true to you, you are not a failure or fraud.” Thank you so much for this! It’s a truth I am slowly beginning to really take in and believe, and watching videos like yours really help with this process! It is a scary venture to really let go and trust that it’s okay to let your process just be what it wants to be in the moment - fast or slow, planned or intuitive, structured or variable - and really accept the art that is produced in the end. Anywho, long response is long, and I just really wanted to thank you for doing what you do because it encourages and validates creative wanderers like myself!
Just a tip for someone who also works in a traditional/digital workflow: you can use photoshop to help compose your images! My process as follows: - make a letter (or A4) sized document, create 2-6 small boxes to the desired aspect ratio of your image (2:3, 5:7, or 4:3) using the rectangle marquee tool in "fixed ratio option" and add stroke. - print the sheet and draw your image compositions within the boxes - rescan the sheet into photoshop, select you desired comp, and make whatever adjustments you want From here you can: - reprint your composition to a larger sheet of paper to use as a guide OR -drop the opacity of the comp before printing, draw more details on top of the printout, then rescan again -print a very low opacity image onto your final surface (I have a large-format printer, so I can print my guide directly onto watercolor paper and paint on top of it without tracing) OR -size the sketch up to the desired final image size, export as PDF, then print tiled within Adobe Acrobat. then you tape the pages together, put transfer paper on the back, then trace it down onto your canvas/watercolor paper
Wonderful info, thanks for your comment! I used to work on Photoshop before I was able to get an iPad, and did some version of what you describe. :) Thanks for the detailed comment!
i really appreciate how open you are in sharing your creative process, especially as a surrealistic artist. I love going the surrealistic route with my own artwork but often get stuck at how to flesh out ideas, and I can never find other artists who share that process like you. thank you! it helps alot and gives me so much inspiration
funny aint it i tried so hard and never got so,, in the end i never improve. its like doing weights and never gaining. its like i work twice as hard as anyone. but its for not. i need a pros judgement/critique on my art vid..
I'm glad you found my video helpful in some way! This is the kind of content I would love to see from the artists I personally am inspired by, but it is very time consuming to create so I understand why many can't share it, so I try to do it when I can, as I know how useful it can be. :) If it is any reassurance, I have only recently been able to develop my ideas in this way, but it has taken me time and practice to get there. I didn't use to work this way and I used to hit similar roadblocks to what you mention, so don't worry, things will evolve and you find your own way I'm sure of it.
@@pogz1 Finding a way to work that helps you improve and works for you is hard, and it has taken me years, and will probably take me many more. If you feel like you need an external eye to help you progress, which most of us do at some point or another, I would recommend finding some artists who offer that service on their platforms or on Patreon! Not many can do it or offer it because it is difficult and very effort-intensive, but some do, so take advantage of their offers if you can! Artists who offer teaching content consistently on TH-cam will often have a tier on their patreon that offers critiques :)
I'm always so amazed by people who plan their pieces a lot. My process is so impulsive and spontaneous that I couldn't plan out anything for too long before diving into action.
Oh trust me, I used to work a lot more quickly and impulsively, and to be honest, I never thought I would enjoy the way I work now. :) Things just kept evolving and changing, and for me that meant working more and more like this, which has been a fascinating evolution to go through. I completely understand working either way. :)
Came here from your gouache video. You are really good at explaining what an artist cares about and not fussing the unimportant stuff! Thank you! You also have the most beautiful voice, I feel like I could listen to you read a shopping list and be entranced! Thank you again for your insights!
@@myriamtillson I am well and all is well as winter approaches in these Tasmanian highlands. It's always frustrating when people ask you, "how long did it take you to make that" (painting or whatever). They freak out if you say: Well, the actual painting took "x" hours, but the research has taken me about 5 years.
Nice cut👌🏼 Also, I’m glad that some artists are starting to share important parts of their process. It helps others so much instead of taking bits and small pieces from pros and trying to wrack their brains to figure out the in betweens when others can teach so easily👏🏻
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and this type of content! This is definitely the type of thing I wish I could see more of by the artists I love, although I understand why it isn't as common as we would like. This type of content is very time consuming and effort intensive, so many artists either don't know how, can't afford to, or don't have the time to create content like this. Even I would love to do it more often, go more in-depth and be able to teach my process to others more, but that would all take me so much time I would have little left to do everything else my business and practice ask of me, including creating art. It's a delicate balance to strike. But I am super happy to get such a good response to this, I'm so glad it is enjoyable and inspiring content ^^
I am just a beginner and I feel so grateful to stumble upon your channel one day. Your artwork is really thought-provoking and now that you have shown the hard work behind each piece, it seems more inspiring. Even though each artist has his or her own process, it's always helpful to know some guiding steps for beginners. Learning so much things from this. Thanks once again and stay safe :)
Thank you for sharing your process, I learned some new things - I especially like that you work on multiple projects at once so you don't experience tunnel vision - that makes complete sense.
yep, when we cant find the right ref image, its time to make our own, its great you showed that since a lot of people dont stop and think abut doing that 🙂
We have such a similar sketching process. I also tend to draw tons of tiny thumbnails with notes next to them - my sketchbooks are not beautiful spreads of almost-finished pieces.
Thank you for sharing your process! Lately I have been struggling starting a piece and don’t know where to go so this helped a whole bunch!!! Thank you again!
Wow, actually this video inspired me so much. I've had some trouble working with one peace but never really tried your method. I also have trouble with sizing -,- thank you for sharing your process, such great ideas! ♥
@@pogz1 You might what to check out Art Prof th-cam.com/users/ClaraLieufeatured. They have a Discord where people post their work and get feedback from the community.
I always love how you share your working progress and the use of a sketchbook , this time I am triggered how you use Procreate in combi with google images / your sketches and wondered where / how you learned to use Procreate this way as this part interests me a lot because it would help me in my work too but I am really old school and it’s difficult to just find this particular part in the world of Procreate courses if you know what I mean 😉 really appreciate your open mind of sharing and I love your artwork and imagination 👌
Hi Debora, I completely understand being frustrated with learning Procreate, I myself don't know very much about how to use it either, but I have some basics from knowing a little about Photoshop already. If you are interested in learning more about the type of techniques I use in this video, I would recommend looking up "basic photobashing in Procreate" videos, they will teach you this type of process more in depth than I ever could. My version of photobashing is very, very, VERY basic, because I am not trying to create a digital painting, I am only trying to very roughly visualise my pieces. I basically pick images I like, and import them into a Procreate canvas. I then erase any elements of the picture I don't need, and resize and modify the remaining elements to my liking. I do a tiny amount of recolouring by playing with saturation and opacity but that is the extent of my process in Procreate :)
@@myriamtillson thank you so much for this really helpfull info as I didn’ t know the word Photobashing ☺️, me too just was looking for a way to ease edit/ work out my ideas to make my paintings . Appreciate your prompt reply 🙏🏻🍀
Ahh okay I was so confused thinking a video with no audio from you was strange ahah... Looks like a lovely video anyways and I'm very excited to watch, came at a great time finally have some spare time to draw!❤️❤️
anatomy is like me trying how to fly.... my brain just cant take it. lol can you critique my art vid pls. it just my never improves even if i try so hard
This is so helpful, thanks a lot for this! I often wish I could try out different compositions, color schemes etc. before going into details but for some reason I never just do that. Seeing your process really gives me inspiration. Also your art is beautiful !
Nice hair cut This was so cool, it's hard to imagine all the hidden work that goes into your wonderful art and it's inspiring to see ^.^ I look forward to seeing more and the results! (No captions yet, maybe there's a delay? Thought I'd let you know)
drawing always has been a passion of my mine. and art just doesnt really love me back. even so. i work hard practice day and day out. however my art never improves.. can you critique my art pls i just need a pros point of view
Thank you Krys! I'm afraid I don't include captions in my videos yet as I sadly don't have much time to create them, but I do enable the google/TH-cam automatic ones, so I hope those work? I will try to add captions to this video over the week-end, as it is talk-heavy and is shorter so might be more manageable for me. Sorry I can't do that more consistently T_T
@@pogz1 Practice needs to be focused and intentional to work at its best efficiency. I don't know what your practice looks like, but drawing every day doesn't necessarily mean you will improve if you draw from imagination without reference all the time, or draw the same thing every time. Not saying you are doing that, just giving examples of how drawing isn't always good practice just in itself :) Try and pin point what you want to improve exactly (anatomy, lighting, composition, perspective...etc...) and then try to find some tutorials on those topics! Work from reference, study other artists' work, do some life drawing, do studies from life, study from art books and watch TH-cam videos! Learning intentionally and in a structured way is the best way to keep going forward ^^ Best of luck!
@@myriamtillson it's ok, i was kinda just curious if some videos had the auto captions on but they weren't appearing and that seems to be the case, it's a problem with youtubes system not you ^.^ thanks
Haha, I feel ya! Trust me, I truly never thought I would ever have that kind of patience either. I'm not a super patient person at the best of times, so I am a little baffled that I am now able, even willing, to work this way. It's funny how we can evolve in directions with didn't think were us.
This is the first time I’ve come across your channel. I also love painting, so I really enjoyed seeing the different pieces of your process. New sub here, looking forward to learning more from you! 😊
funny aint it i tried so hard and never got so,, in the end i never improve. its like doing weights and never gaining. its like i work twice as hard as anyone. but its for not. i need a pros judgement/critique on my art vid..
Any tips for getting out of an art rut? I have a solid idea that I’m happy with but can’t seem to translate it onto paper. It just always looks weird and not quite right
That’s exactly how I used to work too, and I never really thought I’d have the patience for my current process, but it turns out I love it 😊 so long as you enjoy what you do that’s all that really matters!
Not sure you'll get around to seeing this but I noticed you took down some of your videos. You had a video of anatomy resources that I constantly referenced but now I no longer have access. Would you ever considering making it available again. I am a broke college student and unfortunately cant afford to support you on Patreon.
Hey there :) I’m afraid I had to private a bunch of videos because a company put some copyright strikes on some of them and threatened to get my channel shut down if I didn’t make sure I didn’t mention them anywhere else. Sadly that anatomy video was one they striked and they refused to remove the strike even when I offered to remove the segment where I talked about them 😔 That means that that video is lost, since I can’t afford to have backups of all my TH-cam videos. I’m really sad about that one in particular, I spent so much time on it 😫 I’m sorry! The others will slowly go back up as I check all of them but sadly some are gone for good 😣
@@myriamtillson oh I totally understand. I didn't know that was the reason they were privated. So sorry that the company did that to you. I know how much work goes into filming and editing these videos. Been a long time subscriber (following since your goauche animals and hands videos) so I really appreciate all that ive been able to learn from you so far.

Haha, I feel ya! Trust me, I truly never thought I would ever have that kind of patience either. I'm not a super patient person at the best of times, so I am a little baffled that I am now able, even willing, to work this way. It's funny how we can evolve in directions with didn't think were us.
This is the first time I’ve come across your channel. I also love painting, so I really enjoyed seeing the different pieces of your process. New sub here, looking forward to learning more from you! 😊
funny aint it i tried so hard and never got so,, in the end i never improve. its like doing weights and never gaining. its like i work twice as hard as anyone. but its for not. i need a pros judgement/critique on my art vid..
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed my content and thank you for subscribing ^^

Hey Myriam!! LOVE this! Followed you on Instagram
This is rad!!
Thank you! :)
Very creative. Thanks dear, I really enjoyed seeing this awesome video. I’m your new friend. This is my first time watching your great video.
Wow
Any tips for getting out of an art rut? I have a solid idea that I’m happy with but can’t seem to translate it onto paper. It just always looks weird and not quite right
Jeez. I sketch on the canvas and paint it lol. This is an intense process
That’s exactly how I used to work too, and I never really thought I’d have the patience for my current process, but it turns out I love it 😊 so long as you enjoy what you do that’s all that really matters!
Looks a lot like Mel Odon
Not sure you'll get around to seeing this but I noticed you took down some of your videos. You had a video of anatomy resources that I constantly referenced but now I no longer have access. Would you ever considering making it available again. I am a broke college student and unfortunately cant afford to support you on Patreon.
Hey there :) I’m afraid I had to private a bunch of videos because a company put some copyright strikes on some of them and threatened to get my channel shut down if I didn’t make sure I didn’t mention them anywhere else. Sadly that anatomy video was one they striked and they refused to remove the strike even when I offered to remove the segment where I talked about them 😔 That means that that video is lost, since I can’t afford to have backups of all my TH-cam videos. I’m really sad about that one in particular, I spent so much time on it 😫 I’m sorry! The others will slowly go back up as I check all of them but sadly some are gone for good 😣
@@myriamtillson oh I totally understand. I didn't know that was the reason they were privated. So sorry that the company did that to you. I know how much work goes into filming and editing these videos. Been a long time subscriber (following since your goauche animals and hands videos) so I really appreciate all that ive been able to learn from you so far.
