    So nice that you have regular income again. The art money is a wonderful bonus. You are still an artist! Many Artists have day jobs. This makes it (Financially) easier to explore creatively and see where the journey takes you.

      Hii bookrant!! I hope you're taking care of yourself (๑´╹‸╹`๑)♡ I can totally relate to the feeling of being too exhausted from your "real job" to work on the things you truly love (x_x;;) I struggle with it regularly and sometimes it's really hard to push through. I hope my video gives you some ideas and inspiration to find some time here and there to work on the things you love. The world will certainly be a better place for the creations you put into it (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

    I actually got lost with my art style. Last year my client backed out because she chose her career as a full time office worker and I fully respect and support her decision. Ive already sold my pen tablet since then and went back on freehand doodles and stuff as a hobby. Different situations but watching your vlog kinda reminds me of her. People got lost sometime chasing different art styles. Im one of those. Your vlogs are indeed a comfort food just like what wadejosey said below. Thanks.

    So funny you and Leechtus are sisters but I'm not surprised! I found her business video a while ago and then i found your quitting your job video.
    Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences on this video, so many people share "how to quit your job and make art your business" and they're all the same and in my opinion set unrealistic expectations. Your video allows some sort of comfort in the fact that I'm the same age going through the same thing as you and even you have days where you just don't do any work.
    It's so nice to hear that reflected back. ❤

I’m really glad you feel this video would bring comfort to those who are working a 9-5 but want to work on something creative outside of work (´;ω;`) It’s not always easy to carve out the time to work on what you love when so much of your time and energy are already taken up by a full-time job, but it certainly is doable!!

    Hello! It took me five years of practice and struggle to be able to make a living from art (3D modeling, drawing). I was working full-time (6 days a week, rotating schedules) living in a Third World country, living in a tiny room with my little wacom Small Xp.
    It is difficult, and it takes time, but it is possible, take small steps, try to see the future and realize that it may take some time, some years.I think it's better to move forward with a dog's face (local expression sry) and do things regardless of the mood. You have to hold on, don't give up

On the bright side, it would often be pretty quiet in the evening! So whenever I didn't have anything to do, I'd just work on some art to pass the time (luckily the sales managers were okay with it!)

    I get up at around 4:45am. However, I usually have to work at 5am so there's that. I'm more of a night owl though, so I'm usually feeling tired because of that schedule (and because sleeping early is a struggle).

    Hi Rini! I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful life with us. I have so many questions:
    (1). Do you keep a planner? If so how do you divide your tasks? Ex. Lineart on Monday.
    (2). Do you give yourself deadlines? Ex. One page must be completed in one week.
    (3). How much time did you give yourself to work on your concept/character sketches? (One month? I feel like I’m spending too much time on mine but I know it’s an important step).
    (4). Did you create concept sketches for settings in your story? (Such as Hina’s house or did you find it unnecessary to do that?)
    (5). How do you plan your shots/camera angles for your panels?
    Thanks! 😊❤

    • @Riniapple
      @Riniapple  3 месяца назад +1

      Hii jasmine!! Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment (о´∀`о)💕 To answer your questions:
      (1) I used to keep a planner when I was working on my art full time. But since I’ve returned to working full time I’ve found that my days are structured enough for me not to feel like I need to add any additional structure (if that makes any sense??) I sort of just stick to working on my comic during the little free time that I have and get done whatever I am able to during that time (^。^)
      (2) Yes! I give myself rough deadlines! So just like your example, I give myself a deadline of one page a week at minimum. Some weeks I am able to get two done depending on the complexity of the page.
      (3) Hmmm, good question. I didn’t really give myself a deadline for the concepting/character design stage of my comic. I kind of just wanted to leave it open so that I could play around as much as I wanted. At the time, I wasn’t even 100% sure I’d even want to go through with making this comic. I was just getting out of my 1-year break from making art and was just trying to find my way back to it. I’d say it ended up taking me 2 months (March to April 2024) to complete all the characters designs and concepting though!
      (4) I did not! Err… maybe very roughly?? (Like just deciding where the majority of the story will be taking place - the office, at home, etc.) It helps a lot that my story takes place in a world based on reality as opposed to a fantasy setting where concepting the setting would be much more important. I’ve been relying on the 3D model backgrounds I purchased for that 😅 Tbh, I’m not much of a background / world-building girly, so I avoid concepting settings when I can ( ̄▽ ̄;)…
      I hope I was able to answer all of your questions!! Please let me know if you have any others or if I can help to clarify anything ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

    • @jasminepowell8177

      (5). How do you plan your shots/camera angles for your panels?

    • @Riniapple
      @Riniapple  3 месяца назад +1

      ⁠@@jasminepowell8177 Hii!! Oh my gosh LOL I totally missed the last question!! I’m so sorry (; w ;)
      (5) That’s actually a pretty difficult question for me to answer x_x;; To be honest, the process is really intuitive. Some things I do like to keep in mind when planning shots and angles though:
      ・Have I established the setting enough for the reader to know where the characters are and where they are in relation to their surroundings? If not, maybe take a panel or two to zoom out and draw an establishing shot of the setting
      • What am I trying to emphasize in this panel? Is it the character’s expression (do a close up), what activity they are doing (do a mid to long shot), where they are in relation to others/the things around them (do a long shot). This is just a general rule of thumb though!!
      • When flipping between characters in a conversation, try not to exceed a camera angle flip of 180 degrees to avoid disorienting the reader and creating confusion around the placement of the characters in their setting and in relation to each other.
      If you’re interested in comic panelling, I would *highly* recommend reading “Making Comics” by Scott McCloud. It goes extremely in-depth and covers much more than just panelling. I have this book on my shelf and refer to it regularly (^。^) I hope that answers your question!! ❤

    Can you draw every day or do you have to take a complete day out from time to time to chill a bit ?
