If it's any consolation the Mona Lisa took 5 years to paint
I have some unfinished oil paintings that have been sitting around for almost that long too 😂😂
yeah, but isn't it because da Vinci repainted it many times, like the area of eyes and so on I read somewhere
edit: oh I think it was the mouth actually :D
@@ChrisHongArt There's an old oil painting of a man being mauled by a shark that took the painter 30+ years to finish. 😄
@@kuroyukiart um... I heard about it in a shark based episode of a podcast called 'The Caustic Soda Podcast'.
@@kuroyukiart I hope you like it. If I could remember when exactly they talk about it I would give you time codes but... It's been a while.
Fell in love with your art because of this video!
Kasey Golden omg kasey i’m surprised to find you in here
Omg hi kasey
Thank you Kasey! 😊
@@ChrisHongArt Haha, hi!! :D
Kasey Golden sup homie how is u?
Disney should seriously hire you
She'd be the perfect fit.
I thought the same :)
yep
A younger me would've loved to work for Disney, but now I really enjoy the freedom of working for myself! 😊
When i saw the sketch your character look like she fits right into the "Goofy Movie".
I feel like as artist we are always our worst critics, you did freaken awesome I love your style and characters
Thanks so much Dayana!
It really is great. It’s just annoying watching a great edit video with a great painter and listening to her whining. Omg, it’s so negative the audio
@@danielnunes3437 As an artist that isn't whining thats seeing things we dont like in our drawings that we want to change because were not satisfied with which helps the artist improve it. But i do get ur point her art was fantastic and i see how it can get annoying.
@@danielnunes3437 I thought it was a very positive video 🤔 She's talking through her issues with the painting, finding solutions and working through them. It was very inspiring 💕
She: I made so many mistakes and this piece looks awful by now
Me: looks good to me
😂 It's.. subtle haha you have to believe me!
blah Newman hAh I wish it was “fake modesty”, I really don’t know if you’re an artist but personally, I struggle with this a lot. We get so used to our style that even when it can look like the best painting ever to everyone else, it just feels like we didn’t put enough effort into it and whatnot. So please be understanding 😅
@@DayAntics true. also, since you're painting it, you know exactly where you did wrong and that catches all your attention, specially if you are painting from your imagination and it isn't coming how you want 😂
I personally don't see my work as cute as it may be when I'm working in it or when I finish it, but I leave it for a while and when I come back I surprise myself. I also do that when I'm feeling bad about a drawing, or a painting or even a sculpture, I just leave it and then when I go back to work in it; and i see it with the eyes of a spector, I feel refreshed and it's not that bad 😅😂
@Sharon Newman you're not an artist are you ? 😂
Sharon Newman IKR
I started with Gouache and dove right into a difficult project. I took on a 24 page children’s book that paid nothing! I was dumb and agreed to split the book profits 50/50 with the author. Little did I know each piece would take over 70 hours and that gouache was such a difficult medium. Not only that, the story took place in an insanely detailed swamp.
Sadly, the book was never published. It was the author’s job to ‘sell’ it to a publisher and he got demoralized after only a few rejection letters. I believe the amount of investment each of us had was too unbalanced. It had only taken him a few hours to write, but it had taken me hundreds of hours to paint. He had too little of himself invested in it to really sell it.
At least I have those pieces in my portfolio, but I admit, I never did return to Gouache and that was almost fifteen years ago.
Whippo Morpha Chris Hong’s art has inspired me to master gouache. I used to do well with acrylic then got used to digital art and then got used to alcohol based markers. Trying to not let the stressful time of the last time I painted stop me from painting again. I hope the OP will give gouache another try. Like I’m giving painting another try. After I committed to be underpaid for a painting for an event when I could barely afford to paint it. But I did it anyways I hate seeing pictures of that painting now lol
sees gouache... and have vietnam flashbacks.. wo horrible story i hope you can give the medium a second chance
try to sell it again???
@@ko.ala.b it’s not really my book, even though I put in the vast majority of time and energy.
@@GeahkBurchill i see. :-/
When you talk about the faults in your art, it puts it in perspective for me on how inexperienced I am with drawing
what do you mean?
Same lmao
Table Top Friends the things she pointed out in my experience I would never notice, and I take that as a sign that I’m inexperienced because it takes time, a lot of progress and learning to see smaller and more specific faults.
@@aiweihuang440 Ooh I see
She's just pointing out the things she sees that aren't "perfect." Artists tend to pick things in their own art that could use improvement and I think we all do that time to time.
This illustration is beautiful!!! I'm happy that you didnt give up on this, sometimes it's all worth it at the end❤
This reminds me of the setup at Disneyland’s animation studio drawing class because it has all the shelves and dolls with the cartoon brushes 😍
Dr.Drake Ramoray question mark
I know how frustrated one can be as an artist, and no-one else understands, being like "Omg what's your problem it's so good!", when it's actually not. But let me tell you, in all honesty, that's just an artwork and you have to believe me, even though your creations seem not as good to yourself as they actually are. They are outstanding really. Just very, very good job!
dammn! it's one of the most prettiest illustration I ever see!! I was crazy when I look at the thumbnail, I'm still crazy...come on u're an awesome artist!
be confident u are badass!!
I am so glad there is still artists who work with paint and hand!! I don't hate computer art, some artists create amazing works of art, but hand made art is still the best for me.
Love your work
This is so unbelievably beautiful 💕So many details ... I am SPEECHLESS. You should be really proud of yourself. It doesnt matter how long it takes to finish, as long as you are satisfied with the result. :)
I relate to this whole video when you talk about putting pressure on yourself and worrying about showing an amazing WIP then not making a WOW finished. About not painting from joy and rather feeling as if it's a chore. Part of me is happy to pressure myself because, there are too many artists out there that they just draw from joy and don't challenge or pressure themselves much and their style/skill doesn't evolve for a long long time. I don't want to be one of those artists. But I get SO ANGRY when a piece that should take me like 30mins-1hr takes me days, weeks, or months because I have to train my eye to study somethings for the piece or I didn't start the piece in the proper workflow and jammed myself.
Keep making videos like this Chris! I'm a self taught artist with no art friends and these make me so happy to hear a hard-working, developing, struggling, artist to relate to.
Thanks for your comment Melon Dick, as frustrating as it can be, I really do enjoy challenging myself too! ☺️
"there are too many artists out there that they just draw from joy and don't challenge or pressure themselves much and their style/skill doesn't evolve for a long long time. " Totally agree, I'm one of those ! I think it's because when we see your work we are like "I will never reach that level" so we just enjoy ourselves, but I'm glad great artists continue to improve, it's inspiring !
That said, I tkink being always on pressure to make a great art isn't productive, I have a friend who's really good (far better than me) but when we worked together he didn't send us any sketch because "it isn't good enough" while I did a lot ; it wasn't great but people liked it, and at least, the work was done ; It's difficult to find the good balance between challenging and enjoyement :/
Sorry for bad english, have a nice day :)
@@unkykun Your English is fine and your artistic experiences ring true. Keep up the good work and the good fight. Artists who claim it all came easy to them are either liars or bad artists. Chris Hong has my admiration; not only for her gorgeous art, but because she is so willing to share her problems and insights for solving them.
#Melon Dick What you say is truth and your experiences are par for the course with creative people. IMO, those "easy" pieces that should be done in a flash but take tectonic plate slowness to do are also among the best teachers you can have. I know this from experience. I certainly have had loads of pieces fight me tooth and nail--and lose. I won, and that's a feeling all artists worth their salt should know.
You need not feel that you have no art friends. I am around and there are fine artists on TH-cam, like Chris Hong here who are talented, honest, and able to teach.
@@ChrisHongArt That is one of the ways you know you're an artist for real instead of just a dabbler.
The lighting, the colors scheme, the idea, it's just amazing! Very talented!
This picture is so wonderful so beautiful!!!
You should be really proud of this painting!! You have really created an interesting scene with so much details and I can't believe you manage to tie everything together!! Very impressive and interesting to watch ❤️❤️❤️
I feel like this painting could inspire a Disney movie 😀
awesome illustration I can all the effort and time it took you If I can say something is that if you could plan your light sources first then you can know how to place the shadows more as a group than as separate objects.here its hard to see whats the main source of light of many objects and they dont look unified.awesome for going through this you have learnt a lot from this for sure!
This is gorgeous!! I thought it was gorgeous ages ago, when you hated it lol.
You should work for Disney.
Subbed.
First I thought it was in digital...And it's really incredible for traditional art.
You made a good idea adding the dripping paint. This illustration is beautiful! You did a great job!
Wow! I cannot begin to tell you how much this video meant to me. Watching you transform this piece to the spectacular end was so transfixing, and then hearing you share the struggles and emotion roller coaster you experienced was soooo validating as a fellow artist who is not as experienced and productive yet. Thank you! I am glad I watched that. Would love to buy a print! 👌🏼🤩
Thanks so much Adaminbal!😭❤️
"That's how I spent my time painting this piece." said through frustrated laughter is so relatable. I feel so relieved to see others reflecting on similar mistakes I make :D
Whatever you're doing and whatever your process is - it's perfect.
The cat is also an artist and they are making art together!!! 🥰 aw my heart! The light, the color, this turned out amazing ❤️
the way you apply the colors so skillfully and build up the painting is SO satisfying to watch. This drawing is so stunning!!
Ohmygosh, I was just rewatching your vids yesterday, wondering when you will upload again. So happy you’re back and amazing art as always!!
Aw thanks for sticking by me during the quiet times haha 😆😘
This has given me the motivation to continue 5x4 ft acrylic painting that I currently have on an easel in my living room... it's been sitting there for a few months now, mostly done, but there are a few things that I just can't get right and I've gone over them again and again. They're background detail, but it's driving me insane. I love the rest of the painting, so I'm now looking forward to finishing the piece.
I think this is one of your best pieces because of the interplay of all the different objects-really good.
This is my first time watching one of your videos, and I love how honest you were about your process. I’m only an amateur artist, but I completely relate to your feelings to the piece. In addition, your methodical approach to painting really inspired me to think harder when planning my own pieces.
Don't be so hard on yourself. all the mistakes you see are only in your eyes. you're an amazing artist and should enjoy it every step of the way! remember why you started!!
This painting is adorable…I love watching the process and know that sometimes it is ok to just walk away and come back to it.😊
3 months that are very much worth this masterpiece. you're amazing! 🌸
I love that you show all the work that goes into the art. People think it's fast and easy if you are talented...it's still WORK! Also I love that you show all the valuable stages of planning, value studies, color studies, etc. The final always reflects all your hard work!
This video made me finish some projects that I hated so much. This is more than the finish product but the journey of an artist that I believe everyone experiences. Thank you so much for this.
Okay... Who are you, and how do you not have a million subscribers???!!! This has to be one of THE most MAGICAL paintings I have ever seen. Ever. I'm mesmerized. I don't subscribe to things often, but I subscribed to your channel just because of this video. I am in absolute awe. I wish I could paint like this! Wow. WOW.
You should be proud of this piece it looks amazing.
thanks @Miss Petite! 😭😘
Thank you for speaking about your emotional volatility. Its been my experience working on video games for the last part of a decade. Its good to see that the feeling is unanimous across all artists who care about delivering something that is good.
Your commentary is very meaningful, sensible, and helpful. I'm glad the painting process became easier and more enjoyable for you!!
something i learned from my art teacher was if something doesn't work and you feel like every thing you do to the painting is just making it worse then its time to take a break , leave the painting for the day or even a few days and by the time you come back to work on it you feel different and you see it in a different light.
your art is AMAZING and so inspiring !!
i want this to be a story book or a short filmed. i’m obsessed
I simply fall in love when I saw this vid thumbnail then click on it. There's so much going on just like the name, happy mess. I'm happy that you can finish it within three months!
It takes lots of guts to do this...
Amazing... lovely.... . I don't have words to express myself ... . Hat's off..
I really appreciate your honesty in this video, a lot of the time artists on TH-cam seem picture perfect and to never struggle with their work, which isn't reality. Love your work❤️
I love seeing the art supplies and little creatures in this painting - they’re all so cute! Your details are amazing. You really put thought and planning into your artwork.
HOLY HELL THAT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ART THAT I HAVE SEEN ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are not alone in how you felt. I know that I struggle the same way when I am working on something. I grow so annoyed with it not coming out a certain way or not looking how I imagined, and I try to keep at it and get frustrated and stressed about it that I hate it. I completely understand that struggle and I am so glad you persevered.
Thanks Enocia!😭 💪
Love how you shared your process! When I first started painting I wanted to throw every piece away halfway through. It took me awhile to realize that if you trust the process it will work for you. Sometimes the very best thing you can do is walk away from a painting and then come back at a later date. It's easy to miss the forest for the trees. Also, drying makes such a difference in how things sort of start to blend together and become more cohesive. So good to learn from "mistakes". Way to persevere!
I love this painting. I agree that I can see Disney inspiration and that is a compliment.
without any context, your painting and the process is so confident it is actually intimidating and scary. masterful.
The results are seriously SOOO BEAUTIFUL WOOWW
I totally see what you mean about giving life to the painting, especially towards the end, it looks so fun & cohesive, I really love it ✨
Thanks Raquel! :)
I honestly really enjoyed this process video because it resonates with so many artistic frustrations that people go through. So thank you for showing the truth and comforting us at the same time to keep going despite difficulty ❤️
Nothing wrong with putting in so much time. It’s awesome!
Who’s the idiot who dislike the video she really been through a lot of struggles just to show this artwork, you have an amazing ideas and you present them in a nicely way hope to see more of your great works in the future love you so much and take care of yourself❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A fantastic painter that I follow, who is also fluent in digital art, said that the digital process is “less inspiring”. That’s no slight to digital artists-there’s work in that too. But traditional art will really push you, and that’s why I think it’s important to keep it alive. The gouache piece came out beautiful.
Your painting truly is magical
The lightening in the painting is amazing, everything feels so real while still looking cartoony. I love it so much
That moment while you were painting a lamp, I found it like popping up from the paper. Amazing! Moreover, your technique is wonderful. Colour tone and light effects are awesome.
You are the epitome of why I'm consistently in awe of artists! This piece is absolutely amazing!
i love how overly hard you are with yourself, yet in the end you were confident and satisfied. 👍 try not to be so harsh with yourself and have fun. 😀
I think overall I'm a confident artist XD but yes I can be super self-critical!! thank you!❤️
Chris!!! Look what you made!!! Its so cute!! I definitely understand the stress and anxiety you can place on yourself when you're trying to finish a piece, especially when trying to teach. But you stuck through it, you got out of your own way, and finished an adorable and very complex piece of art for your portfolio. I love the additions you made to liven it up. They made the piece. I know it's a struggle, but try not to be so hard on yourself. There is no time table when creating something to be enjoyed. Social media is a tool that can quickly turn a passion into something you might despise. Remember to always see it as a tool to get your message across; the message you originally wanted to share. It'll help you find the sun through the clouds. Again, great job and I (and I'm sure everyone else) am anxiously waiting to see what other wonderful pieces you come up with (without the added pressure to perform.) :)
thanks for the words of encouragement Marie 😭 I appreciate it! So excited to send you your print!!😘❤️
That piece gave me butterflies in my stomach. Never had that before with art.
Finishing a piece even though you dont like it/ dont believe itll look great takes great efforts and really helps you improve as an artist. Cuz you get to teach yourself to push through, and fix mistakes!
This painting is absolutely gorgeous dang
nothing better to improve your state of mind and ease the self-critique than resting. That really allows your creativity to flow. As an artist myself, I find resting to really allow that intuitive creativity to flow; by resting I mean a relaxed state of mind. I find that meditating has the same effect as going on holiday. I have actually had the same experience with some of my paintings and later on when i was relaxed i found them quite enjoyable to work with. The end result is really beautiful.
Wow this is crazily full of rich details! You're one of kind talented woman! Props on that!!!!!
It's so important for our heroes to show their struggle to keep us pushing forward in times of despair. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Whether I am working with textiles or clay, some projects just flow, others just need more time to cook, or be set aside until I can see the final image clear. Doesn't help though, when you want it finished and the muse is not playing fair. Lol. I love the world you create in your paintings.
around once a month I’ll come back to this video consistently - it’s my favourite paining I’ve ever seen frok the past decade. Thank you for creating this, i one day hope that I can buy a copy
How can somebody make such a beautiful piece ? This is the best art piece I have ever seen in my life !!!!
Well done 👍
I admire your tenacity, really. If something doesn't work for me, I put it aside and never look at it again. Then I berate myself for it and that's even worse. You pushed through and the piece is so lovely!
This piece is actually incredible. The texture of the background actually adds a lot of depth and contrast with the smooth subject of the picture. The colors look beautiful together, and your style is absolutely gorgeous!! It looks like it was done digitally. It's kind of a masterpiece.
That looked like DIGITAL ART!! The glowing effect is surprising !✨️
Here you are, spending forever on a picture and it turns out freaking amazing, while I will never find the motivation to do a painting unless I get it done within 24 hours... You are amazing.
Your painting is great. You can't rush greatness
Thank you for sharing your process and not giving up on your illustration; it's very inspiring. This would be great for a kids room. I hope it sells. Great job.
Dear Chris,Your art is perfection!!!Don't mind how much time it took!It is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Please don't say bad things to yourself in your mind,I also do that but if you think about it it's not true.Self-criticism is mostly not good.To me you achieved greatness!I should definitely try to make something like you in my own style because I love every little detail in that painting you made!!!!
Remarkable!!! This process calls for a tremendous amount of problem solving. Thanks for sharing your though process.
That you for sharing your struggles. You don't understand how much it helps encourage new artists such as myself.
in my opinion it look amazing at any stage. so full of life & magic, i just felt in love with your style!!
It's so comforting to see a well-established artist struggles. Social media makes everything looks easy peasy, and I often feel like a failure when I can't succeed in something right away. This is a good reminder that everyone struggles and it takes a lot of effort to get to the next level. I also assumed you finish all your illustrations within a few hours. XD
Maybe it took a while but it looks magical, so to me it was worth the trouble, hope you always keep doing what you love. ✨❤
i work with gouache daily and i totally understand what youre talking about with how hard it can be to work with gouache sometimes. you really gotta power through pieces when working with it because it wont look good for a while, but the more you add to it and work with the paint the better the piece gets. you did an amazing job with this piece, brilliant work
to be honest all the effort you put into this was totally worth it. i have the bad habit of making paintings too quick and it shows
Found your channel from Instagram, love it. I suggest in the future keeping in mind that even the other artists that follow you wouldn't see the flaws that you see- and the customers who buy your work often don't care. The point of buying prints of traditional paintings is that human touch, little imperfections and piles of paint that make the painting feel more 'substantial' then a digital work. At lest that's what I look for. Anyways this was a helpful video, thanks for posting it!
The drawing is great, the colors are great, the magic shows through. It’s wonderful!
The girl looks so cute! Great job!!
Yeah taking a break from a project can be really benefitting. Usually for me it could just be a 5 min smoke break because my brain is starting to get so tired from staring at the thing for hours. But yeah going away for the weekend is good too because then you really see it with fresh eyes. BTW is it possible to use water colors and guache together? But Also I'm the type of person that can sometimes take a break from a project for months and then do smaller things inbetween and come back so I guess everyone has their creative process to make it the best it can be.
That's a whole lots of details. Very creative.
Wow... WOW! It's... I can't find the words, you have a priceless talent.
I know this sounds horrible, but I usually turn the sound down while watching these videos for inspiration. However...your voice totally captivated me, and I loved hearing about your process. I have half done paintings all over! You have inspired me to start revisiting some of those. Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t know that gouache could reactivate ..
:0 maybe I’ll give them a go
This painting is unreal! Everything about it is so amazing! The details, the color, the effort put in it. It looks to real. You're very talented.
I really admire your handling of edges and shapes in this piece and the overall look is so vibrant and abudant - Cannot keep my eyes away from it!
It's so helpful to hear about your thought process as you're making your paintings
Thank you for sharing your view. I literally can’t sleep due to stress nowadays cause I have to do the final project which I’m spending months on and even declined works to work on it. I think I share some of your frustration, that I don’t deliver for something I’m spending so much time for, there is no money, maybe all of this is for nothing, there is no joy in painting. Know that an artist I admired also felt similar make me feel less lonely
Very well explained no matter what medium of paint you are using. You got a new subscriber!
You made a very good job of describing the inner workings of the creative process! The end result is great too. Gouache is notoriously hard to work with and hardly anybody teaches it well these days so most people are having to rediscover it and try and grow a technique from there. I have to say your brush technique is excellent, no muddy areas at all! Sometimes you just have to step back and let mind process things for a while especially with such an intense and detailed process. Then you can look at things with fresh eyes, but I guess that is what you captured so well in your narrative. Lovely work well done. Hope you will persevere with gouache and maybe look at the different options available because you have already gone a long way further than most, as your illustration is so full of life.
