    so happy that I got recommended this by TH-cam! I've been hoping to come across fellow creatives who incorporate their practice in their videos! Loved this recollection of the things you did, nicely balanced with the voice-over! I went to the LA art book fair, too! Back when I was visiting. Still working on all of my images from LA. I subscribed! Happy to see more of your work pop up in my feed!

    I enjoyed your video so much and I also love painting too it’s so therapeutic and also painting sometimes can feel draining to people who are impatient but once you enjoy the process you feel good.

    I paint. The cheaper brushes (the ones you get in the little sealed plastic bags usually lose alot of hairs. Try buying the individual ones that are more expensive they don't lose hairs on to your canvas

    Creatives sharing their lives on YT are an instant Subscribe from me!
    My boyfriend and brother are both Art Directors and I am a content marketing specialist and water-colour artist, meaning I am always surrounded by designs, arts and marketing material.
    Seeing you breakdown your day as a GD inspires me.
    I too wish to some day start a channel from the pov of a writer, but until then I am here, doe-eyed watching you live.
    Much love! 🤗

    came across this video as an almost-24-year-old planning my move near los angeles with a design career 😭 am feeling so burnt out and anxious but this video was a nice little reminder to go out & experience the world !! this industry is just so exceedingly exhausting, demanding, and fast-paced & making/doing things you want starts to feel like a luxury. in reality we should be experiencing things and people and places. the productivity guilt is reallll, especially when you work from home. i hope you enjoy what los angeles has to offer & continue to nurture your mental health!!

    With Gouache Paint - you can try and work on a paper based canvas - you’ll find the paint itself will feel smoother and that might help with the brush issue as well - also the quality of brushes might also be a problem🫶🏻

I'm currently stuck/lost and haven't really figured out what path as a Designer I should take even though I've been a designer for a few years already. I also plan on making a youtube channel to document my process to overcome it hopefully. Thanks for inspiring!

    That book, "The search for self in early adulthood" is SO GOOD. I got through it so quickly and it really resonated with me. It wasn't just some self-help book throwing the same advice at you and I think any age group should read it tbh! Side note: I loved watching this :) I'm also a graphic designer and just graduated in the summer and I'm about to be in the same sort of situation as you. Very comforting to see!

    Your journey dragged me back to visual design. I'd love to ask if you could share resources where you learnt from, especially designing with figma

    • @edgykatrina
      @edgykatrina  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      mostly played around with it myself! I learned the most from trying to design posters and then youtubing tutorials when I needed to (ex. how to use brush textures, how to make a gradient). I have a couple of tutorials on my channel :) For figma I had an internship at a design studio and that's how I learned the bulk of it but I share a lot of graphic design resources on my ig from time to time!!!

  • @Hunhpadichah

    Your brushes are wild 😂 I feel like painting is all about quality you don't need to have many brushes, but the quality is very important, same about the paint.

    Let me explain: I am an Italian art director, graphic and motion designer and from the video I missed the way you work. I didn't see anything commercial or saleable, just beautiful graphics for us designers.
    Maybe la in california is different or for privacy reasons you didn't want to show commercial projects on video, I don't know, I'm just curious, I hope you appreciate the question, I'm not asking it maliciously.

    Love this video! But I don't think it's ~*lame*~ to spend your your weekends on your craft or bettering yourself. 😅 A lot of people are masters of their craft because of constant practice and self-development. Social media is really demonizing "hard work" and "productivity" and that's why we're all so mediocre at what we do, especially creatives. 😅
