How To Start an Art Channel on YouTube: 5 Tips Nobody Tells YouTube Artists!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- Here are my five tips for starting an art channel on RUclips! These are the things to consider before you even start a channel and the mindset you need to have before you begin, but these topics can also help you if you are already a RUclips artist that is struggling to get views or subscribers! This video is NOT a tutorial walking you through how to set up a channel. This video DOESN'T give you a list of cheap beginner equipment. Instead, it gives you a different way to look at the content you want to provide and the reasons why you should want to start in the first place!

I’ve watched other artists give tips and advices for small art channels, but the ones you provide in this video are way more valuable.
Thank you for the motivation and for being straightforward.
BeeJay…THANK YOU for being straightforward, patient, logical and using common sense in explaining this process. I could not agree more that our purpose is to provide VALUE. I am an artist among other things & I do not have a You Tube channel for that, but might in the future as I decide what and how I want to go public. I am just retiring from 52 years as a Hospital/Clinical Pharmacist but have been drawing since I was knee high to a grasshopper (as they used to say)! I too invested in an iPad Pro 2 years ago and have been painting, mostly for others…birthdays, honors, special gifts…(printed on canvas) and more. I do use Procreate and am still learning. Your approach and wisdom are palpable and I greatly appreciate what you bring. Jimm ,
P.S. I agree with the guy who posted just ahead of me….People who want something for nothing…’would you give me an iPad genre people’…are selfish, go out and earn it like the rest of us!
😂 Can you buy me an iPad, I can't even imagine that. Personally I prefer to watch educational over entertainment. Great tips. 👍
Crazy, right!?!? Thanks!

I want an iPad tooo
To be fair, love their confidence. but at the same time... Damn 🤨.... Wipe your shoes before you come knocking lol
@@BeeJayDeL GIB ME AN IPAD
It blows my mind that random strangers are messaging you that often just asking you to buy them things. That just seems like such a bizarre and rude thing for somebody to do. I mean even if you were well off enough to do it, it's ridiculous for an internet stranger to come ask for it out of the blue like that, and especially the fact that they are asking for such wildly expensive things.
Right?!
Ikr, like why do they do it 😂, if they can’t afford one or whatever then do you just except someone to be going around handing out free iPads 😂
So cool to see things like this ya know I provide good content
I know it's mind boggling! Unreal!
Probably the most helpful video I've watched in a long long time. Thank you for your honesty and detail. Really appreciated!!!
I'm primarily a digital artist who had been trying out streaming on twitch for some time. This gives a lot more insight on what to expect from sharing content, regardless of the platform! My goal will mostly be to share my work with friends but it's good to be prepared, as you said. Thank you for the information!
Great info! I, for one, really appreciate these videos just as much as your art tutorials! Thank you for your time and effort!
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much. You’re so generous with your knowledge, and you’re a fantastic instructor.
I love your videos for all these reasons! I’ve just started with Procreate as a complete newbie and you don’t assume I know a thing which is awesome, cos I know nothing… about Procreate that is! Following your step by step stuff has taught me so much. My fave video so far was the one you did with your wife as the things she struggled with was me to a T! I have a channel for mixed media stuff and follow all of what you talk about in this video… I wish more creatives would watch this video of yours before they start out! You didn’t get where you are in the first 5 videos you posted… it has been 3 years of hard graft. Thanks for all you share with us, I wish the world was filled with more people like you… it would be a much nicer place!
You and about 3 other RUclipsrs do a wonderful job teaching Procreate. I recommend your channel a lot.
Thanks so much, Linda...I appreciate that!
Same
Who’s are the other you tubers, if I can ask?
These were some great tips. I especially agree with you about doing real time videos (what I do on my channel) as I realized I learn better when I get to watch from beginning to end and so I try to provide that for my viewers. It show that people like that as my watch percentage is also higher on those videos, meaning people watched for longer while hopefully learning something. I guess I'm on the right track :)
I really think they work better...glad to hear they’ve been successful for you too! Thanks so much for watching!
@@BeeJayDeL I'm going to try to do real-time videos as well. This might be what I need to do since I've been struggling with timelapse style videos and took a lil break but coming back soon. But I'm still confused about how a lot of art channels I follow all they do is timelapse and pull in over 30k+ views a video when all they are doing is speeding up the video with b roll footage here and there. No talking just music.
Super helpful tips! I personally just want to share my ideas and characters because I love talking about them but dont want to annoy my friends by talking about them for hours and I'm hoping to help people feel inspired and represented
I love your art, I just want to be able to draw something like that by watching you. I don't expect anything else. Thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing these tips! I'm not sure what type of channel I want to create -- a few vague ideas, but nothing solidified yet -- but I still did get a lot out of your video. Thanks!
Thank you, BeeJay.....very concise and to the point.....just what is needed! Very helpful.
Hey BJ! Thanks for sharing these 5 valuable tips. I was hit hard at the beginning of your video about not expecting to gain fame & huge money by doing youtube. And then another blow to my stomach when you mentioned about the timelapse art videos and not defining whether the videos are suppose to be educational or entertainment or both. Your sharp and to the point advice are really precise and they are what I neede to hear. So, thank you again. I will rethink what value I am going to provide for my audience. 🙂
The video delivered exactly on what the title claimed. Concise and ready to follow. Thanks so much for this. So helpful.
Yes indeed I loved watching this for my own benefit actually has a good vibe to it
I clicked your vid for the art tips, and had to show my respect for what you have just done for these kids. I had this issue years ago with the viewers chasing free things and the pressure that has on creators. well said! not many have the balls to do this! all those who see this comment, give this man a follow for simply giving you the reality of this game. peace and love brother
Hey man this was SUPER helpful for me! I started a YT channel with next to no knowledge or understanding of YT at all and am still very very small. This video helped me refocus my efforts take a step back to ask myself how I can best add value to my viewers. Thanks for putting this video out there it's much appreciated!
Dude, your videos are great! They are practical and fun to draw along with. I used to watch "Draw with Jazza" to practice but those days are long gone.
These were some great tips. Thank you for being so straight forward.
Thank you for this video BeeJay! Really appreciate the info and your laid back character. I don’t do cartoons but I believe I may learn a few things on procreate thru you, possibly in an easier manner - so I subscribed! Please do more vids about behind the scenes kinda info that we need to know! Thx 🙏
I am very appreciative for the info you shared in this video. Thank you.
This is so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!
I appreciate the first piece of advice. It’s so easy for artists to get caught up in the potential for fame or wealth instead of being fully invested in their craft.
Thank you BeeJay! Your videos are always fantastic.
Thanks so much, Christine!
BEEYay!! Thank you for saying "Just because you put the word 'Tutorial' in the video title, does not make your Time-Lapse video a Tutorial." When people do this, it drives me crazy-er than I already am. This is a great video overall! I just discovered you and look forward to watching your other videos.
thats fine i want to show people my art work , thanks for giveing me the idea what it all about
Thank you so much for these tips.
I really hope I can give more value to my audience going forward!
This is reall helpful 💪💯
I love time lapse vids but really love "process" vids more. I have just put up a tutorial on my channel using time lapse but it was slowed down for most of it, especially at the start. I agree that you have to let the viewer keep up with you and "draw along" until they get to know your style. I subbed to your channel this is great content, thank you.
Thanks man! Really to-the-point tips!
I don't plan to make a YT channel as of now but I watched anyway because I'm a fan and still found some valuable tips that would translate into my other projects. Thank you!
Glad it might help with your other projects too! Thanks for watching!
Loved the tips. I'm just starting a channel to post my processes, but really like the idea of education. So I decided to at least give some tips and explanation with closed captions instead of just posting time lapses. Thanks for this!
Really great advice! Lots to think about!
Thanks for your transparency.
I love your channel. Watched you for 3-4 years. I've seen a lot of your videos twice and some more.
All this was very much needed to hear! and I plan on taking action
I really love the way you teach art. It has helped me greatly. If you had a art course then I'd buy it because your my favorite type of teacher.
Fabulous! This really helped to make sense of things. I am not interested in doing a RUclips channel for drawing myself, but I found this video very educational and answered many questions I was wondering but never asked.
About people asking yiu to,buy them an iPad, good grief, that is super bold and rude in my opinion. I appreciate that your teaching is real time and that is one of my BIGGEST reasons I watch your channel. I also,like that you reinforce each step you take and you announce what you are doing next. I end up pausing videos, I do so with you, because I am slower at completing and I’m a a perfectionist. I was taught in school, follow the teacher, do exactly what they do, after the lesson and in yiur own time, modify or do it different. I am working to break this but I have had it so engrained into me, mother an elementary school teacher, I fall into wanting to do it exactly as the instructor. Your videos allow me to follow that and yiur teaching style is conducive to how I learn.
I also,appreciate how yiu have brush sets and you explain them, and you explain why a specific brush is needed for what step. Yiur videos are easy to follow, and I have success with a completed project I can be proud of. (However I’m still working on the Halloween slime monster as I can’t get a couple things right.) Time lapse is very frustrating and often leads me to not complete a project. Lastly I like that your projects are for the most part under an hour. Yes they take me longer than that, but the instruction time is perfect as I don’t get overwhelmed or bogged down by the length of the video.
So BeeJay, you rock for me and I love the characters you create and help me or create. I have incorporated a great deal,of what I learn form you into my mandala type designs. I have developed what I call the Doodle Dala and the Animal dala where animals, characters, cartoon things appear in my designs. I have just started doing more using your eye style modified of course, but I will send you some in an email. I have shared before with you.
Thank you for all yiur hard work and I recommend you constantly to people. You are a fantabulous teacher! Leah aka LeBonesCreations.

No interest in making my own RUclips channel, but I watch everything you make! Your videos are high quality and down-to-earth-good. Much of this information also helps us who are LOOKING for quality and valuable RUclips tutorials! Thanks!!!
Thanks Katie!
great advice... all makes sense.. many thanks for sharing...
i am very impressed how open you talk over the money you make with RUclips content. Another point on the list why i like your content and you.🤟🏻👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks! Always try to be transparent in everything I put out there!
Thank you! Great advice.
Such a brilliant video!! I enjoyed every bit!
Great timing on this video! Im working on growing my channel and this is just what I needed, Thank you :)
Awesome! So great to hear...hope it helps!
@@BeeJayDeL thank ya sir!
This was sincerely helpful to me, thankyou.😊
I haven't drawn in a long time due to life/deployment/school etc...and also I have an apple pro that I haven't used and trying to get into drawing again. I subscribed to your channel today because I like how you explain your material and I think learning from you will be fun. You don't assume people know something which I have a problem with some RUclipsrs with their so called "tutorials". Thank you for educating us. :)
I needed this, thank you Sir 🙏
This video has so much helpful information, thank u for sharing🤓
Great video!!! Thank you for your advice!
Great advice - thank you. I'm going to give it a go.
This was so helpful and inspiring. Thank you!
Thank you❤
This is great information
This is very interesting. Personally I only just started in Feb to document myself getting back into art after years of procrastinating. Then years of avoiding art all together, and back to procrastinating. Working on being more consistent, and still struggling with editing, but it's a huge learning experience. No expectations only using my phone with a mount, just want to be able to look back and see how far I've come, if people want to watch too that's a bonus 😊
Wow just about to start doing exactly the same
Thank you so much this will help us so much more... as start on RUclips.
Oh yes ... let more like this coming ... i love your way of explaining
Thanks for all the good tips! I'm an abstract artist with 5 yrs exp. But just starting out with sharing, selling, and marketing.
Thank you sir , I AM HAPPY THAT I FINALLY FIND THIS KIND OF CHANNEL 😄
Glad you found it too! Thanks for watching!!!
these are the BEST tips I've ever heard in my LIFE!!
Excellent advice! Thanks alot!
Thank you so much so helpful, just have to add more value to it nice one
Glad I watched this. Its good to do it because you enjoy it and not just for money.
Awesome advice thanks so much for your information 👍
Also thank you so much this video helped a lot.
Thank you for these tips really helpful ☺️
Great to hear! Glad you got something out of it!
THANK YOU for saying the part about tutorials.
Very nicely explained ❤
Dude…. $19,000 would make a huge difference in my life!!
Thank you for this video 😃 you definitely gave value in your tips, there were a couple there I haven’t heard from any other RUclipsrs, particularly in regards to the “art videos are a little different” when in comes to recording. Needing good lighting sounds like such an obvious thing to know. But it’s amazing to me that I haven’t come across any RUclipsrs talking about lighting when talking about the exact subject of creating an art channel. I guess it’s assumed knowledge to them 🤷♀️ Also, I can’t believe anyone would ask you to buy them an iPad! That’s so odd to me 😳
Very useful information. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks and nice information
I learned quite a bit from this video. Thank you!
ruclips.net/video/NVgnH-Txwto/видео.html
Great info. Thank you!
thank you. that was good info
Thank you for the tips! Glad I found this video. PS- You have a great demeanor!
Definitely got value out of this! Well done 👏🏻
thank you for your sharing, thanks again.
I really want to start a channel but I can’t seem to nail down my art style. BUT while searching about starting a channel, I found your channel and that is very exciting. Great content!
Thats my journey. I am going to find it by documenting it i guess on youtube. I dont know what i am doing but hey...lets see where it leads...lol.
@@AmadithArt Me too! I’d love to follow you!
@@Bubblestheghost so come on and join!...lol.....id be honored. Its hard to put yourself out there....but...we dont want regrets in the end!
Same reason I'm thinking about starting a channel lol.... just to document my progress as I learn about how to art.
Just idk what art to get into, and it will probably just be random everything's that I find interesting and if I start a channel it won't be consistent enough to keep people interested in watching
This is a good thing thanks for letting me know this
Love it! All the advice is good...
Thank you BeeJay for the tips ❤️Love from India
Thanks so much you’ve made look at a better direction for my channel. Regards Fred
Thanks for the tips
❤️🙌great content! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for sharing. Small youtuber here. I think you are right about having the right goal like providing the value to the viewer but also think of it as a business which can sustain itself. Money is a factor in making that work. So i believe successful RUclipsrs are striking that perfect balance.
This was helpful. Thanks.
Thanks very much for your amazing advice
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video thank you for all the information
Just now seeing this in 2022....great vid my dude!!!
Well said!!!! Very good information
Thank you, that is valuable informations
I was playing with the idea of starting a YT channel to show my art I do with Procreate. Already after your first 2 tips I decided against it, because you're absolutely right. There are already tons of art channels out there that are 'disguised' as tutorials, while they are really not and if they are, they're quite bad. Well, anyway, thanks Beejay, for preventing me to set myself up for failure ;-)
I started mine with a set mindset in mind getting better every video
neo,just saw your comment.
just DO your youtube,you'll be fine,trust me,no matter if you have 50 comments and 10 subscribers,just DO, and in time you'll see if you like the result,but just don't give up ❤❤
@@Gabriel-gabriel Thanks Gabriel, in contrary to my comment from last year, about 2 months ago I started a YT channel for my art. I uploaded about 30 some video's and it's going so-so. I like having a YT portfolio, if it were only for myself. I'll just have to be patience for it to see grow. If it doesn't than that's fine too. I do make a bit of tutorials, but I'm not comfortable showing myself or speaking in my video's (yet). I do narrate with subtitles and try to edit my video's as well as I can. I'm sure there's an audience for everything, we'll just have to wait and see 😊
@@NeoOnyx can't find u. U mind sharing link?
@@psinha6502 No problem, it's ruclips.net/channel/UCkgEQG07z2eBsJIqHdJg2IA
Your only 1 of 4 you tubers that I watch for procreate content ! Your an awesome artist and I recommend your channel to everyone wanting to learn procreate ! Absolutely LOVED the 31 days of Halloween and followed every tutorial! Hoping you’ll do another 31 days challenge soon lol 😂
Thanks so much, Melanie!
ruclips.net/video/8ArMsgWdAVI/видео.html
I do get value out yr channel. Yr one of my favorites n I learn so much n let others know to check u out
Thanks so much!
Wow, 20k for a whole year! Got 2 more years on the mortgage so I guess I won’t be changing the day job anytime soon. Love your channel, followed you for a long time, you deserve to at least be making a living from your videos. They are top notch and deserve a much bigger audience. Your teaching and explanation of the subject is very thorough and too the point. Wishing you all the best for the future mate. I have a 12.9 iPad that is a couple of years old now, but the new iPad 2021 with the latest chip has my attention. Don’t worry, I’ll purchase it myself mate. 🤣🤣🤣
All the best from Scotland pal...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A really helpful insight into building a RUclips channel, thank you 😊🎨

That was a valuable piece of information indeed.. Thank you! Will surely try to implement these lessons. Although my channel is 8 yrs old, I know I need to do more. Am still learning .. am just 58 😛🙂
Legit good tips all round!!!🎉
So valuable ❤❤
