@@Bird_b0nes also youre thinking of ‘photo realism’ which focuses on creating the most realistic type of drawing. but realism mostly focuses on following the rules of nature, or creating an accurate depiction of something.
About what you said, regarding the people that tell you you're weird because you usually paint yourself... Well, you don't make art for other people, do you? The case is probably that you make art first of all because it makes you happy and gives you satisfaction. Changing how you express your inner self and what helps you tackle your insecurities just because people don't understand it, would be unfair, to your beautiful work and of course to yourself. We don't have to make art everyone will understand, and not everyone will understand everything we'll make. Maybe most of the things we'll make. Art can get complicated, and personal. And that's totally ok. What matters is staying true to yourself despite the craziness that exists out there. Hope you feel less alone in this now. ❤️
thank you so so so much, you have no idea how much I appreciate this. i get a little too caught up on what others think sometimes but this really helped me :)
Yeee totally agreed! It's allways nice to get criticism, but not rude comments like that, that you're weird for painting what you paint, you can paint whatever you want and makes you feel good😊✨
@@victorianilsen9475 Imo criticism is unnecessary unless the person asked for it, especially in this case bc who do ppl think they are to tell artists what their art should and shouldn’t be about, right? Lol
You are an absolutely amazing artist, I agree it’s definitely difficult to create “original art”. If i’m being totally honest, your art really heavily inspires me to continue working towards my personal artistic goals. The art that you create takes so much skill and patience, I’m so envious.
The only thing that is insane is how talented you are. And at your young age? With your whole future ahead of you? You must not know how remarkable you are. You're amazing. Thank you for sharing your process.
Your rendering is to DIE for. Saw the final painting on social media so stumbling onto your channel was a pleasant surprise. Great work and I hope receive a lot of success!
So crazy that even the most talented people are insecure. I love your work and your style, and I love the fact that you use your own image to convey the message/concept you aim for with your paitings, being that art is a expression of ourselves in many way, so I find you very brave. To be so talented and inspirational at such a young age is really no small feat. Be prouddddd :)
Don't ever be ashamed if someone's art inspired you whether you realize it or not! Art is a reflection of you and the things you care about and if a snip of another artist comes through that you like, it is still a reflection of you because they inspired you! Also, amazing painting thanks for sharing it!
Something about this painting is just giving beautiful. Like idk what it but the piece is beautiful. The flowers, the portrait, the details🤌🤌🤌 beautiful ✨
I think the main detail that reminds everyone of Caravaggio or renaissance style paintings in general is definitely the dramatic effect caused by the high contrast (almost looks unnatural because of how dark the background is but the subject is painted in such a highly realistic style. It becomes hard to imagine where exactly the light is coming from and what kind of room or space the subject is located). Been following the progress on this painting for a while and am astonished at the result. This is amazing!!
I feel like you had a bit of a breakthrough with your art on this one! It's so much more realistic and satisfying than your other work, which was already impressive. Great work
Hi Camila! This is my first time watching one of your videos, and wow! Firstly, I’m blown away by your talent. Secondly, what you’re saying about painting self-portraits really brought back a lot of memories from my time in high school doing AP art and later in college. I also paint mostly self-portraits, and that was my concentration for AP, and I would also get a lot of questions about why I painted so many of them all the time. I’d get a lot of comments like “Oh, you must really like yourself, huh!” when that was absolutely not the case at all. I was and still am very self conscious not only of my work but of myself, and like you stated, creating work based around yourself is almost a way to get past that anxiety. Another thing is: we know our own faces better than anyone else’s; we spend a lot of time looking at ourselves whether we like to admit it or not, and this allows us to complete self-portraits more easily on a technical level (though emotionally… that’s a different story). This trend continued while I was in college getting my BFA and most of my critiques were “It’s really good, but can’t you do anything else?” and unfortunately I really let those comments get to me. I just wanted to let you know how extremely talented you are and how impressed I am that you can accomplish such a high level artistically both technically and conceptually at such a young age. I hope that as you continue down this road you stay true to yourself and your work and that you take in other people’s critiques and questions but to know when someone says something that doesn’t serve you-I personally wasted a lot of time doing my art thinking about other people, and that ended up being a huge detriment to my development. You seem to be on the perfect track for you and I am excited to see you grow in the future!
thanks so much for taking the time to write all of this out, you genuinely have no idea how much I appreciate this! im so glad im not the only one getting those comments, i understand where they are coming from but sometimes they can be a little rude. thanks for all of the advice and for the love :)
I totally see the Caravaggio connection. He's especially known for Tenebrism which is a dramatic chiaroscuro technique. It can also be described as a sort of "spotlight" effect which I can see a softer version in yours too, like the highlights in the hair and sweater, which I love! Especially the little hair whispies detail you have. And the pixel bouquet reminds me of the painting "Bouquet of Flowers in a Vase" by Courbet but in a contemporary context, which I think is cool. The pixelation also reminds me of our connection to the digital world that many of us internet people can relate to (and maybe that some, if not many, of our relationships are virtual) especially us here being on TH-cam (and TikTok and IG and whathaveyou). With that said, I'm a fan! Keep doing what you're doing, girl! I think you're onto something that is definitely worth showing!
I’ve been following you on Instagram/TikTok for a while and randomly saw this on my feed. I’ve always loved your paintings and your skill level!! Keep working hard and keep painting what seems fun for you !!
Artist here - i dont think it's cheating if you know how to draw. More like worker smarter not harder. But to those learning tracing does you a disservice because you're training your eye how to gage shapes and building muscle memory My humble two cents!
everything about this video beautiful. it’s a realistic and honest process that goes unnoticed to everyone except for the painter, i am so glad you captured all of this. amazing work as well, although as you stated the meaning was abstract, i like that the painting means a different thing to everyone even though it’s not them and rather you. very proud of you even though i just found this through twitter
You have an amazing talent and are super hard working! Don't let what anyone else says take that away from you! They either just don't understand it or they are jelous.
I am strictly just a sketchbook doodle/digital art artist, but boy oh boy I related to this so hard. This was a joy to watch, so funny and genuinely enjoyable to see your process. Loved this, I’ll probably rewatch this anytime I need to feel like I have an art buddy with me while I work on my own projects ❤
When I saw the grid on the space for the flowers, for a minute I thought you were going to do a highly-photorealistic render and that was just a grid to copy… I was going to say that it looks like a Caravaggio. You got the lighting so well!
without a doubt, youre gonna be one of those artists who will stand the test of time. phenomenal work! So i watched the rest of the vid. and as someone who also deals with imposter syndrome, im not gonna tell you to just take the compliments, cause that just never works. But seeing how much youre willing to stick to your guns and go with what you think is best despite what other people say, honestly that's better. Having that self confidence and love for your own work is what ultimately pushes people to make the most original and sincere art in the world. Dont care what others say dude, just do you!
"abstract", i dunno homie that makes no sense for your teacher to say, not that I think your teacher is saying it in a mean way- but most of your work is clearly centered on themes of identity which makes the meaning not too hard to extrapolate or "feel" without words. STUPID TEACHER IN OTHER WORDS, I'M SORRY. I used to deal with a lot of boomer-style thinking in art class too
NOOOOO DONT SAY THAT!! she definitely has a point, these paintings are for an AP class which means the meanings have to be a little more obvious so that the graders can clearly see how it relates to your theme! my teacher is amazing, she definitely didn't mean it in any mean way !!! but i understand where you're coming from too.
@@caamileon I know, I was so sure I was being too harsh xD sorry about that. I take it back, she is probably super sweet. I remember AP Art being really difficult to tie together too, this is what makes it hard to decide on a drawing to make for me at least... thanks for the reply!
i actually saw the finished piece on pinterest i think, then the next day i saw it pop up on my instagram feed, and now this video came up in my recommended lol this is actually so cool, you've got mad skills my friend. keep it up!
I’m not sure if this was already said but I’m going to remind you! Big artists like Frida Kahlo and Vincent Van Gogh (and other artists) are well known for their portraits and other works. Frida Kahlo is mostly known for her self portraits that expresses her pain and suffer while being bedridden, heartbroken, or the atmosphere. The next time you see a comment or think about that you’re “insane” for doing self portraits…ask yourself, did the artists that did self portraits and got recognition for it stop? No because they kept doing to express themselves. Hopefully this makes senses I tried lmao. Never stop painting and letting anyone stop you from painting yourself! You’re doing awesome!! 💕
Fellow painter, Im curious about what ur own black paint would do for ur work? (I think it’d add to it since you can get a more complex colour effect) also slay for getting golden paint finally so worth the splurge on the good quality paint
i dont usually use black in my works, i usually mix the primary colors together for dark colors. for the background in this piece though i didn't have the right colors to get it dark enough, so i used black and some red for it!! i need to learn more about color still though 😭
the hair is absolutely stunning i love everything ab this and i think ur concept is represented really well!! what is your theme/focus for your ap portfolio?
Also, your not a stupid freak for doing a self portrait, almost all of the famous artists that year hear about from back in the day did self a portrait, if not many, that was all Freda Callao did, you rule, you go on and continue what you do, your art is amazing, and the face on the portrait you worked on in this video is not bad, it is amazing, don't put yourself down, but if you can't help but do that, I'm here to bring you up! I think that almost all of us are!🙃 Edit: Wait, is it weird to add two comments?
Girl you’re incredibly gifted and this is coming from someone who at 3 am is up painting portraits.😕 People aren’t just saying that. I wish I wasn’t blindsided by life when I was your age because art is my life! And I love that you do self portraits. The pixelated bouquet- brilliant! And all stages looked like you.😉
Camileon pleaseee help me I need advice on doing realistic paintings because I wanna do it but like….I a wee bit trash at it ( ALSO when I mix red, yellow, and blue I get green like what.) please help ur like the best artist I know ❤❤❤❤
I can’t stop commenting on your videos because I love your honesty! Lol. Also, the trace isn’t a cheat as long as you practice your techniques, it’s a tool! Even the greats used their tools!!! I’m sure you will study that in art school at some point. Lol.
I always wanted to get into trad painting [very experienced in pencil; done some digital painting] it's so cool how high the skill ceiling is. It would have to be acrylic since my disability makes me need to drag my hand across the canvas essentially lol, but I really hate acrylic D: A lot of the paintings on your walls look like photographs. must have taken a lot of practice
okay but camila can i just say that your art is literally SO 👏GOOD 👏 like whattttt i can't comprehend that a human made that. u must be a robot or an alien or sum 😏
So here is the thing, you said you felt insecure about your art. You are one of the few people who legitimately can suffer from impostor syndrome, because you are a genius to begin with.
I randomly saw your artwork on Twitter before when i was stalking the likes of my friend and now i was scrolling randomly on TH-cam and this video got reccomend to me 😭😂 idk if that was fate or the internet is just being creepy again (like when you talk about an item irl with someone and suddenly you get an ad about it on the phone) Your Portrait is amazing!! I love the idea of "fake flowers/fake compliments" with this The comparisons with famous painters is definitely justified, keep going :) 💞✨
WHATS YOUR PAINT TO WATER RATIO WHEN YOU UNDERPAINT?? like a rough estimate because i added water to my acrylic and the color came out WAYYY darker than i intended and i couldn’t see my sketch under it 🥲🥲
Where is your easel from/called? Also, I love this painting and I love your videos. All of your paintings are just so amazing! Also, I think you should paint whatever you want. I love your paintings and your concepts, plus not all paintings have to be deep. As long as they are appealing or amusing or eye catching, I think, is what matters. And your art is definitely eye catching and appealing!
I think it's so cool that you paint self portraits. I personally could never, seeing myself for hours, dissecting every piece of myself. I think it's so admirable that you draw yourself in such a meaningful way. All of your pieces feel so personal and the fact that it's your own self makes them even more personal. Keep up the great work
OMFG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. ITS SO GOOD. ITS SO SO GOOD. the influences of caravarggio, kristoffer zetterstrand, minecraft. and your idea of receiving fake compliments is lovely especially with the cold, desaturated look in your face. it looks so posed and youre ready to be appreciated, if that makes sense. idk i just love it. and your technique and details are so good too i just love it thanks for the video
When I saw your TH-cam thumbnail, the painting was just so great that for like 5 minutes I just kept looking at the thumbnail feeling very dumb cuz I was wondering if this was really a painting or a picture. I think the fact that I struggled to know whether it was or not really shows that you're talented. In the end I just couldn't guess and had to click on the video to see for myself, and I didn't regret a single second cuz it was a great video too ! Keep going giiiiirl 😉
This was an amazing video to find in my recommended!! I saw your painting on twitter when you first posted it, and thought "Wow, what a masterpiece. Some people just have an incredible vision." I never would have known what went into the painting if you hadn't made this, so I'm grateful to you for sharing and I'm glad I watched it. It's so easy to put other artists on a pedestal (I certainly did for your painting), but they probably dealt with their own insecurities too! I'm so glad you're proud of the result, because it's truly something amazing.

2.1K and 4 comments?? Make that 5
UR PAINTING STYLE IS LITERALLY GORGEOUS
AHHHH THANK U!
Isnt it just realism
@@boing1oings sorta, realism focuses as making it real as possible, her style is more like a old oil painting
@@Bird_b0nes what exactly is ‘old oil painting’ like the renaissance? which in case you didn’t know the renaissance mostly featured realism.
@@Bird_b0nes also youre thinking of ‘photo realism’ which focuses on creating the most realistic type of drawing. but realism mostly focuses on following the rules of nature, or creating an accurate depiction of something.
THE HAIR IS SO REALISTIC HOLYYYY
FR I NEED CAMILA TO MAKE A TUTORTIAL
1:12 u not cheating girl, you using wisely the technology 💅
I was amazed by this🤩 a few days ago, i was spending so much time drawing pixels to get the proportion right, definitely would tried her technique!
in my painting class my teacher has a projector to help us get proportions right
Old masters cheated as well, if it’s okay for them is okay for everyone.

The way I also overlay this stuff in procreate whenever I think there's a problem with the face which I can't fix??? But damn the painting is gorgeous
I always wanted to get into trad painting [very experienced in pencil; done some digital painting] it's so cool how high the skill ceiling is. It would have to be acrylic since my disability makes me need to drag my hand across the canvas essentially lol, but I really hate acrylic D:
A lot of the paintings on your walls look like photographs. must have taken a lot of practice
Yayyyyy cams finally posted
YAY
okay but camila can i just say that your art is literally SO 👏GOOD 👏 like whattttt i can't comprehend that a human made that. u must be a robot or an alien or sum 😏
I follow you on tiktok but now i found your yt. I love this concept 😍
So here is the thing, you said you felt insecure about your art. You are one of the few people who legitimately can suffer from impostor syndrome, because you are a genius to begin with.
I have to say you’re inspiring.
WOW that is amazing
Literally everytime i paint i put on one of your videos they help SO MUCH!!
I randomly saw your artwork on Twitter before when i was stalking the likes of my friend and now i was scrolling randomly on TH-cam and this video got reccomend to me 😭😂 idk if that was fate or the internet is just being creepy again (like when you talk about an item irl with someone and suddenly you get an ad about it on the phone)
Your Portrait is amazing!! I love the idea of "fake flowers/fake compliments" with this
The comparisons with famous painters is definitely justified, keep going :) 💞✨
this vlog reminds me of joanna ceddia's old videos :) ty for the nostalgia and now u have a new subscriber
You need to be on Great Big Story RN
omg I used to religiously watch Great Big Story
this was lovely and you are so beautiful !! your work ethic and genuine love of painting are inspiring to see
Idk why but this gives me mona Lisa vibes in the best way 🎉💐 Don't listen to the haters, you are a big inspiration!!
Someone said this is the modern day Mona Lisa and I agree
Do you use a projector?? That is genius!!
WHATS YOUR PAINT TO WATER RATIO WHEN YOU UNDERPAINT?? like a rough estimate because i added water to my acrylic and the color came out WAYYY darker than i intended and i couldn’t see my sketch under it 🥲🥲
honestly i would say 60/40 water to paint !!
Amazing piece ✨ Also, I’m not sure how I haven’t come across your channel but best believe I subscribed quick 😂 Can’t wait for future uploads❤
this painting goes hard
Absolutely love the meaning behind this, very relatable
So happy to see someone who actually enjoys their own art and isn't afraid to be happy about their progress
Where is your easel from/called? Also, I love this painting and I love your videos. All of your paintings are just so amazing! Also, I think you should paint whatever you want. I love your paintings and your concepts, plus not all paintings have to be deep. As long as they are appealing or amusing or eye catching, I think, is what matters. And your art is definitely eye catching and appealing!
omggg i've been seeing this on your twitter you are insane crazy bonkers etc
I like how she films herself talking in front of the cam like she’s in a reality show lol
I think it's so cool that you paint self portraits. I personally could never, seeing myself for hours, dissecting every piece of myself. I think it's so admirable that you draw yourself in such a meaningful way. All of your pieces feel so personal and the fact that it's your own self makes them even more personal. Keep up the great work
OMFG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. ITS SO GOOD. ITS SO SO GOOD. the influences of caravarggio, kristoffer zetterstrand, minecraft. and your idea of receiving fake compliments is lovely especially with the cold, desaturated look in your face. it looks so posed and youre ready to be appreciated, if that makes sense. idk i just love it. and your technique and details are so good too i just love it thanks for the video
When I saw your TH-cam thumbnail, the painting was just so great that for like 5 minutes I just kept looking at the thumbnail feeling very dumb cuz I was wondering if this was really a painting or a picture. I think the fact that I struggled to know whether it was or not really shows that you're talented. In the end I just couldn't guess and had to click on the video to see for myself, and I didn't regret a single second cuz it was a great video too ! Keep going giiiiirl 😉
This was an amazing video to find in my recommended!! I saw your painting on twitter when you first posted it, and thought "Wow, what a masterpiece. Some people just have an incredible vision." I never would have known what went into the painting if you hadn't made this, so I'm grateful to you for sharing and I'm glad I watched it. It's so easy to put other artists on a pedestal (I certainly did for your painting), but they probably dealt with their own insecurities too! I'm so glad you're proud of the result, because it's truly something amazing.
