Hello, I'm Brian! I'm an artist sharing some art and creativity with like-minded folks. My artistic interests are very broad, but I've spent the most time over the years drawing, painting, creating sculptures, prints, films, technical illustrations, motion graphics... basically, I'd like to try it all. In this channel I'll share some of my art, my process, some insight, maybe some stories, and likely some nonsense too. Thanks for stopping by!
1 Reference, Many Caricatures! | Exploring Facial Exaggeration with Pencil
Welcome to my channel! So happy to have you here! Today we have a video trying to figure out how to create effective caricatures using a single reference photo. The results are varied in feel and resemblance to the subject (me!) which was a great way to learn a few things about exaggerating facial features.
I was inspired to begin a set of self-portraits from my friend, Melissa Martin, who recently released a video of her journey creating over 100 self-portraits - one per day. If you are looking for some fun inspiration, check out her channel and the video reviewing her first set of portrait drawings!

Valentines Sketchbook Mining 💕 Love vs Pain 💘 DYI Card Creation!
that's really wonderful portrait my friend, good job
These are so good - I love seeing how you've gradually pushed the proportions and yet still kept them recognisable. Fascinating to watch the process and really enjoyed seeing them come together. *tangent* Hadn't realised older versions of photoshop won't run on newer chipsets (eek!) ...erm...how old IS your Adobe suite? O.O *tangent* I really like how all of these turned out, but I think the sad spaniel-eyed Brian is my favourite :D Great video and really nice to hear the thought process and workflow :) I also found it interesting to see what you chose to exaggerate - to me, the square jaw shape stands out. Love what you did here - great stuff!
Aw, thank you so much for the feedback, Julie! I learned some things, which is what I was after… and if I got a good drawing or two out of it… even better, haha! Spaniel-eyed! Love that! So yeah… my creative suite is from 2003 which is like 5376 in computer years. Apple used to use an Intel chip but now all their processors are Apple so… stuff made to run on intel machines won’t work with the newer Apple chips. So… meh. I’ll eventually buy a new computer and ditch Adobe completely and… just hope I don’t need to rescue some old Adobe file from the vaults. If I used Adobe and made an income from it, I’d buy a subscription, but… it’s like adding $30-50 a month to do… a hobby? Not even the core part of my hobby… I’ll need to pass. Hope you are well this weekend!!
This is such an inspiring idea! Each portrait has its own unique features, yet very much relatable to original reference ! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Manisha! I’m glad the video could be inspiring… that’s a high compliment! I’m sure I’ll do some similar things in the future.
Brian your self-portraits are absolute brilliant! 👏👏👏I like how the different approaches makes each one unique, but they are linked to the same reference, a good reference is so important. I don't use Photoshop or anything from Adobe, and I won't go for it bc of the subscription mode 😬 but I've been looking for an alternative and Affinity sounds good. Have a great weekend 👋
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! I had fun with that project… not 100% what I expected, but I learned something, and that’s even better. Yes, there are some good graphics apps out there… some are open source, even. Can I retrain myself? Probably, haha! One of these dayyysssss… thanks again!!
Wow ... Wonderful skill ... Beautiful 😊😊
Thank you, Sanaz! I’m so glad you like it!
You never cease to show me how many different things you can do! All of these are such charming portraits✨
Aw, thank you! Youuuuu are quite diverse in your abilities, Chika! I imagine that’s the result of being ever curious - and I support that 100%!
All of your portraits are amazing and you are professional and truly an artist ✨✨✨enjoyed watching this video 😊😊
Thank you very much! I’m very happy you enjoyed the portraits! ☺️
These came out so great, they all have such a different presence to them. The importance of choosing a good reference photo is so important, and you picked a perfect one. Great great work!
Yes! The reference photo is so important - and I think it’s a reason some people get discouraged at their own drawings - why things can look flat, you know? With the right shadow conditions you can make a very good likeness with just 2 or 3 shades even. Glad you enjoyed the art!! Thank you so much for your feedback too!
Brian, your self-portraits are simply charming! I love how each one has its own unique personality. Your nose and ears truly stole the show in the last drawing. Thank you for always delighting us with your creativity!
Charming, you say! Hey hey, that’s great! I still have a lot to learn with this sort of style, but it’s fun! I really appreciate your support, Oksana!
I'm a big fan of your portrait work and you did not disappoint in this video! I think portraits 1 & 2 capture you the best but honestly, I like all of them. I love how you used colors, and what a great reminder that what matters is the value, not really the color itself. I hear you on the technology side of things... I had to succumb to Adobe's membership because I use Photoshop regularly but yeah that's such a racket! Ah Domestika: so many good classes! - would love to see what you do in the realm of wooden marionettes! Thank you for this video and your tangents, Brian! I enjoyed that very much! 😃
I’m glad you enjoy those tangents, haha!! I can tangent with the best of them! Haha! Oh I’m curious about how you find the photoshop experience from the subscription… I’m sure there are some wonderful advantages? I know there are alternative software choices but I haven’t … well I’m soooo familiar with Adobe that it’s second nature, you know? Thanks for your kindness, Isabelle! I appreciate your feedback!
They are really good, so much likeness, bravo 👏
Merci, merci! Im pleased that the drawings came out pretty well. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!!😀
@@BoruArt I was interesting, I need to pay more attention on the reference photos I choose for selfportrait.
Hey Brian, what a fantastic video, all of your portraits are incredible, each one you have captured yourself in them so well, your use of colour and soft shading and tonal work really is so good, especially watching each one come to life. Great work mate, really enjoyed these 😊🎉 all the best buddy
Great! I’m glad you liked it! This was a challenge for me, not knowing exactly what I was doing, but it was fun just the same. Thank you for watching and giving me such kind feedback, Johnny!
By scary chef, if he meant Gordon Ramsay... Yes, you do!! I can say that with authority as I have met him... indeed he had a go at playing my bagpipes at a Ceilidh one night in Scotland! He was a really nice guy and a good sport 😄. What a nice face you've got, better without the bulbous red nose 😂.
Haha! Yes… Gordon Ramsey! So he’s a nice guy huh? That would have been gas watching him try to wail away on the bagpipes!! Haha! I’m just trying to imagine it. I’ve been compared to him maybe 3-ish times, so there must be sommmme likeness there - I wish cooking talent came with the deal, but apparently it does not, heehee! Now to get myself some bagpipes….
@@BoruArt 😂
Awesome work, Brian! I loved Melissa's self-portraits video, and I adore seeing what inspires people and where it takes them. I think your 2nd one was my fave, but I like all of them and how you used color and shading -- so inspiring! I'm with you on Adobe. I purchased Photoshop Elements on my laptop, and someday I will have to face the monthly subscription, which I don't want to do. I love Domestika classes. (And oh, man, now I want to make a wooden marionette!)
That’s so great to hear, Marcy! I could absolutely get addicted to Domestika courses considering the prices are so reasonable. The marionette class was really good - fairly simple to start, but I liked it a lot. I definitely need better carving tools to do nice work, but just getting the concepts was great. I agree to on #2… I think that one worked out the best. I’m happy you enjoyed the video and I hope you’re inspired to do some fun things on your artistic journey!
@@BoruArt Thanks, Brian! So many things to try 😃
It was fantastic thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching!
I’m impressed! Thank you! New Sub😊
Thank you so much, Paulie! I’m glad you liked the tour… and I’m happy to have you here! 😄
Wow, this was quite the wild and creative journey! So cool, Brian, and so well done! All these creatures with their own personalities, do I see a children’s book in the making or the start of an awesome intergalactic graphic novel? You’re always so imaginative! And I will be sure to support your sponsor several times a day. Off to have some popcorn FOOD right now!
See, that’s the commitment I’m talking about!! Food, several times a day! I’m with you on that!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the fun, Deb! I’d love to do a book or something someday… oh where does the time gooooooo….?? Your feedback means a lot to me - truly does. Thanks so much!
You are truly creative and talented ✨so interesting to watch 😊✨ I really like the characters in your paintings ✨
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I’m glad you liked the characters too - that’s a fun part for me!
This was super fun and interesting to watch :) Loving the creativity and the way you brought these to life, and the interviews were just that extra touch! Who knew how much an isopod could sell for? erk! The sponsor got me laughing at the end - unexpected :D
I’m happy these weirdo drawings passed muster! Haha! It was certainly an adventure trying to work with the random splotches… I’m even more happy you enjoyed the interviews and the sponsor message 🤣 That was myyyyy favorite part - all, what? 12 seconds of it? Haha! Thank you always for your support, Julie!!
Wow you are very creative. Lovely artworks. I came here first time, and i find the content so beautiful and really very impressive 😍🎉🎉
Thank you so much! I have enjoyed your beautiful drawings as well - such talent! Thank you for stopping by!
@@BoruArt thanks, I am glad you enjoyed my work . Have a great weekend 😊
Brian, what amazing works! Watching them is a real pleasure!
Yay! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it… I need to get back to doing some of these … just to keep things interesting. Thank you for checking the video out! 😃
Fantastic introduction to cyanotype basics! 🌞🖼 The way you explained solar printing on dry media was really clear and informative. I’m excited to try this technique with the tips you shared. Thanks for the detailed demonstration and for making cyanotype so accessible! ✨🔵
Oh I do hope you get a chance to try this out... it's a lot of fun and can produce some real memorable images. Thank you so much for stopping by!!
I got a few of those magical papers from my friend recently, and I'm excited to try them! Thank you for the inspiration, Brian!☺ It's so fun to see how you turn those abstract shapes into stories!
Yes, so much fun! It's such a simple technique, but it's unusual and bold and... yeah! Inspiring! I'm glad you enjoyed the process... and stories! I'm curious to see what you do with yours!
Brilliant video as always Brian! I do love how you really bring your sketches and characters to life with interviews and quirky bits 😊 it’s right up my street! Your painting style is amazing, and it turned out just great 😊 thanks for another really enjoyable video .! Johnny b
It doesn’t surprise me that you appreciate the quirky bits, Johnny B! You are the king of quirky, haha! I’m pleased you enjoyed the art - and thank you for your kind words!!
Your imagination and creativity to create characters is amazing Brian!!! 💥And the interviews are the cherry on the top of the art 👌 brilliant! P.S.- Cosmo could be a reference from Draw Weird Things @debbiedrawsfunny 😄
Thank you so much, Teresa! It’s a challenge I love to give myself - come up with something new (sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s… uhhhh… haha!) so glad you enjoyed the silly interviews - it’s one way I can make some of these things come to life. I so much appreciate your feedback!
I'd say your experiment was a success! Your first painting is such a fever dream... and Cosmos is quite an interesting character! I love it. Once again you're showing us what a creative mind you have with the art process and the characters, their names & stories. A really fun video, Brian!
Fever dream about covers it, haha! Yeah, sometimes I’ve got no idea where things come from… I just need to follow the pen and brush where they go 🤣. I’m glad you had some fun with the video, Isabelle! I always appreciate your support.
These are so creative -- you could see so much in those interesting shapes. I love your pregnant alien with a lantern earring -- definitely got some randomness in there, Brian! Fun interviews, too. I would like the galaxy to have a buttery glow.
Haha! Hey I’m glad you like that pregnant alien! It still needs a name… yeah I agree on buttery glows… that might be quite nice! Thanks for your feedback, Marcy!
Hi Brian! 👋Your experiments are mesmerizing! 🌟 I especially loved the fluffy tail and the mysterious red light from the forest. The interviews with the fictional characters add so much fun and originality to the video 😄✨ Thank you for your creativity and inspiration. I’m looking forward to your next works!
Oh thank you, Oksana! I really like Moonwhisker too - handsome feather-tailed friend that he is! And I’m very glad you liked the interviews… I sometimes wonder if I go too far out there for people… I’m glad some appreciate it. Thank you always for your kindness.
@@BoruArt Thank you for being who you are! Stay true to yourself.
Oh my... who knew that selling bugs was a thing! 😄 This was lovely and soothing after the arduous day I've had ☺️
Oh I’m thrilled to have had a part on soothing an arduous day! That’s actually a high, high compliment as far as I’m concerned. I hope your day is wrapping up in a nice way though. Thank you so much for your kind words!
So nice upload, awesome presentation, thanks for sharing dear. All the best to you. Have a wonderful day and see you next time again. Many Greetings from Germany. ♥ Like 20
Thank you so much for checking this video out! I really appreciate your feedback! Cheers!
New sub is here😊😊😊🎉🎉 Very nice sharing
Thank you, Sanaz! So glad to have you here! :)
Absolutely amazing
Thank you! If you check back in a day, you can see what I did with these prints! Thanks for checking in!
This was really cool to see, great process, iv never used this so I might just try it, what lovely effects you can get, especially onto clothes . Brian I really look forward to seeing how they turn out with your watercolour and imagination onto them.. look forward to the video. All the best Johnny b
It’s a fun technique - I’m not sure it’s too useful for everyday use, but once in a while for something different? Yeah, good fun! Hope you’ll like the art inspired by the blue blobs, haha! So glad to hear from you!
Hello Brian, what fantastic and magical watercolour sketches, I love your style, and how you go back over areas with other colours to build up the picture, there is such a softness to your sketches, yet always full of energy. Really lovely. Also the stickers look great. Sorry iv been gone a while, just needed to recharge one’s batteries a little . All the best my friend . Johnny b
Ps; if you still have a sticker left I’d love one 😊.. will message you. Cheers
You’ve been missed, Johnny, truly! I understand needing to recharge and taking a break - I’m just glad to hear you’re doing well. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, I’ve got stickers! Send me your address and I’ll get a couple over to you. I’ll make sure to include one for your daughter too 😃
This was so interesting to see Brian, never tried Cyanotype or search about it so actually learnt a lot! 💙 Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm curious to know does the result is always blue? Or there are solutions that give other colours? Need to search videos how to do this in a t-shirt, would love to have one for me with this effect 🤗 looking forward to see the combination of Cyanotype and watercolour ✌️
Never a dumb question, Teresa! I’ll preface this with “I’m not an expert” - but yes, there are ways of getting different colors, but most of those processes are either a bit advanced (multiple screens, exposures and chemical steps) or they are more like… introducing tints - dyes and bleaches. You can even use certain things like flower extracts, or turmeric, or tea or coffee. I’d love to see what you can do with a tee-shirt!! That would be amazing! If you do use cyanotype on fabric, you need to be careful about the detergents you use on them. Phosphates, bleaches and sodium can harm the print. (Actually, even though the prints are pretty hearty, they will eventually fade out with washing, even in clear water). But I’ve seen some gorgeous pieces that artists have made - it’s a very striking color for a shirt or dress!
@@BoruArt looks like there's an all world of Cyanotype to discover! I might do it next year, I try to test a new technique to me every year 😉
Trabalho maravilhoso ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
What an interesting technique ✨That’s incredible ✨It’s the first time that I’ve seen this technique ✨
Oh so glad you found it interesting - aside from getting the right supplies, it’s so easy to try, and I highly recommend it! Thank you for watching!
I was a commercial screen printer, and I was reminded a bit of the process of developing a clear acetate, and then developing a screen coated with photosensitive emulsion. Currently starting to dabble in gel press printing, and looking forward to using feathers in that. (Not easy to do printmaking within the confines of a tiny bedsit 😅)
Oh yes! Very cool, indeed! I’ve used diazo coatings to do silk screens (in a very rudimentary way!) that sounds so fun - commercial screen printing. I’d love to hear more about your gel press printing because I have no idea what that is … like the jelli plates? I’ve wanted to do more with those - I’ve got two and I’ve only dabbled with them a couple times. But Ive seen amazing results around… very inspiring! I love the idea of print making, but I don’t have much experience yet… I’d love to see what you’re up to!
@@BoruArt yes... a gelli plate.
Wow it's such a unique idea and very beautiful paintings created ❤❤
So glad you enjoyed it - this was definitely a silly adventure! Thank you for your kindness!
such a cool technique! I`ve never tried this! amazing what you did with it!😍😍👍
It’s a lot of fun! Worth trying sometime, I think. Thank you for watching!
Super interesting to watch and looks like a lot of fun :) Had to smile when you mentioned the Texas sun! Great video and now looking forward to seeing what you made of all your shapes :)
You want some Texas sun? We got plenty to share! I should figure out how to bottle that up… ;) I’m excited to show you the fun paintings next week… it’ll the best! Or… it’ll be… something!
Brian, I adore your creative lab and your fantastic, stunning characters! Your cyanotype works look incredible. I can't wait to see how you’ll add watercolor and ink in the next video. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you, Oksana! It’s a fun process - I get these ideas and I feel I’ve got to give them a try… hopefully things turn out in an interesting way! I appreciate you!
Fascinating!
Science meets art! Good fun!
I really must try cyanotype! Thank you for this tutorial, Brian! It's very interesting. I was surprised to hear the exposure time is so short, and I had no idea you could use cyanotype on fabric! Does the cyanotype solution smell like anything? I love the ghost images and that Prussian blue is beautiful indeed! The short preview of your work with watercolor on cyanotype looks really nice. I'm looking forward to part 2 of this cyanotype saga!😊
Smell? No… not that I’ve noticed - if it does it’s very very faint. Yeah, it’s good fun! Keep in mind what the UV is like in Texas right now, haha!! In the winter it’d be quite a bit longer but on a day like today? Reallllly quick! Yes! I loooove the cyanotype on fabric! You can even wash it, but the detergent shouldn’t have phosphates (? I think?) on it or it will do something chemically that causes it to disappear or change color or something. I can’t recall. But yeah, such a striking look! You should definitely try it - and since you like botanicals, this is really popular with that style of art (historically). Anna Atkins did some really nice prints in the 1830s and after - you might like her work!
@@BoruArt Good to know there isn't any particular smell - was that a weird question? I have sensitive senses so that came to mind for me haha! It's a real cool process and I'm going to have to give it a go for sure. Thanks, Brian!.
Oh it’s not a silly question at all. I am so unaffected by chemical smells that I had to think a minute. Then I sniffed the two parts… I could mayyyyybe get something with part B, but do faint, I wasn’t even sure. Anyway… I’ll guess you’ve wouldn’t be bothered (but let me know if you are!! Very curious!)
@@BoruArt Thanks for doing a sniff test for me! :) I'll let you know what I think. You'd be surprised how sensitive my nose can be!
What a cool technique, Brian! So interesting. I loved seeing the blue deepen with the hydrogen peroxide. The watercolors look fantastic in your sneak peek, too 👀
Oh I think it’s lots of fun - something a little bit different. I remember I had a package of cyanotype paper as a kid and I saved it and saved it and was waiting for a great idea or something…. By the time I wanted to use it the paper had exposed or reacted with something… ever since then I’d wanted to see what I missed! Haha! Thanks for checking the video out, Marcy!
@@BoruArt So cool that you could fulfill your childhood intention 😃
Wow, Brian, what an amazing mix of techniques and inspiration! Each of your drawings feels like a little story that I want to look at over and over again. Keep surprising us with your masterpieces!
Oh thank you! Yeah, I was trying everything on these Wordle Drawings! Those are a lot of fun - quick! I hope to do more of these sometime soon. Thanks for watching one of my older videos, Oksana!
Hi Brian, I love both painting but the one with the cat is my favorite!
Oh the stickers are so cool! Am I to late at the party?
I’m glad you like the cat! Yeah, I prefer that one as well - it’s got more personality and better composition, I think. No, you are not at all too late for a sticker if you’d like one - just send me an address and I’ll get it in the post this week. 🎉
@@BoruArt Thank you very much Brian, it will go on my sketchbook cover 👏
awesome! I really love the little creepyness!😁😁😃👍
Hey, glad you like it! I had fun with these projects! 😀
Such a cool sticker (I was hoping you would choose that piece! 😍) and lovely paintings, as expected. The style is so unique. But are you seriously sharing the stickers for free? You truly are an amazing person
Oh I’m thrilled you like it! I’m absolutely sharing for free, yes. It’s not a big expense and I’ll sell other stuff someday in the future. For now, I’m thrilled to share! Just let me know an address I can send it to.
@@BoruArt Just sent you an email, thank you thank you thank you! My laptop is going to have it's first ever sticker!
Beautiful autumn colours with all the purples and oranges - and loving the style (as ever!) of both of these :) I enjoyed your cat rambles and your tribute to Bokky was certainly very special. Incidentally, there was a lot of discussion here about the roof of the house - I had a glow from a space rocket in mind (the porthole in the side with the light flooding out of it), while someone else pointed out that they thought it was the eye of the house opening, tying it in with the cat. I really enjoy the tangents and loving how the stickers turned out - good job! :D
Oh interesting!! The roof discussion… I like the sounds of both of those! It was a last-minute addition that element… I had an eye in mind but I totally see the rocket too, now that you’ve mentioned it. But it’s also not something that has direct meaning so… it all works! I am enjoying this looser, playful style too. It’s satisfying that itch to tell stories, I think. 🤔 always love hearing your feedback, Julie!
