That line "Creation comes not from the fires of Muspelheim, nor from the frost of Niflheim, but from Ginnungagap, the space in between." goes so fucking hard
@Usernamed#01 Well, no the world came from the heat meeting the frost in Ginnungagap, creating the giant Ymer, who is the giant the cosmos it built out of :) makes sense
That's so fucking wild. I didn't see anything, even when you literally pointed to the nostril, then the second you put that little smudge that sorta resembled an eye, the entire face stood out like it was there the entire time. So trippy. Art is absolutely wild.
This was really interesting! When you pointed out the parts of the face, I zoned in on a face shape that was much smaller than the one you actually saw. What I love about this method is how different the outcome is for everybody.
They started out that way. But the unrelenting negligence from the school system and the awful pay with a standardized system for ART has drained their souls. Every step they take towards creative freedom they get beaten back by bureaucracy and angry parents.

Absolutely beautiful art. While you were explaining negative space, where you pointed out the lip and nostril, I could see half of a skull, wearing a crown. So I love what you decided on lol. So fitting
Not only are you an amazing artist, I also love how you share your process and make me learn something about mythology, history etc. Thank you for sharing!
I came here from Scott’s channel and OMG I’m so happy I found you!!! Ur art is truly breathtaking!!! Where are you from my friend? I love all of the Viking and old world artistry
You have a very unique way of seeing things the others don’t see. I never would have guessed you saw a troll until you add to it. I should Sharpen my imagination more. You’re amazing.
as someone who wants to be an artist, this has greatly improved my confidence. i immediately saw the face. instead of seeing just the white or black space i saw the whole thing.
Yo the second you made the back black I could see the face starting to form 😨 first the lips and eye then you started adding more details and I was BLOWN TF AWAY 😍 this is truly amazing art on progress!
The way you describe it actually helped me understand the process you use. Now I can possibly try doing it myself if I every decide to get out of my art procrastination!
What's great about a good artist is not their art but their vision. What's great about artists like you is that yours it brings out the artist in us to try and Invision our own. Thanks bro
I like that.. I always use a similar phrase when writing music.. "it's not what you put in to a song, it's sometimes what you leave out that is important" ✌🏼 so I love the negative space idea
This is why norse myths are some of my favorites. Much of the wisdom resonates with me, makes me think, and just sounds so badass. Also the mini art lesson you gave about negative space is just 👌
As a person with some pretty sturdy aphantasia, watching people's artistic and creative processes is absolutely incredible. It's truly mesmerizing, and I love it!
I love this soooo much, as an abstract artist, I've been playing around with noise a lot in my art, same with it being busy, but my favourites are the one's experimented with negative space.
I was so excited on the face part because I could immediately see the lip and the face before it was mentioned and was so proud that was what he saw as well.
my aphantasia self could NEVER (but genuinely, it is fascinating that you’re able to piece such tiny clues together and come up with an idea so different than what most people would interpret it as! Really hope the best for you and can’t wait to see/hear more enlightening art/stories ❤)
I have a theory that this type of making art can be done with aphantasia, and may even be beneficial. But I haven't been able to confirm it, because it would take someone having aphantasia and developing drawing skills, which is rare enough, and then doing to work with the ink blots. But generally, the idea of "picturing the art in your mind" before drawing is overrated. My ability to see things in my minds eye is mid at best. Most of the work I do on the paper, not in my minds eye.
this actually blew my mind and made me see the ink blob in an entirely different way, I had no clue what you were talking about the first time around but then it all clicked and honestly I was blown away by how you were able to see a face in that, thank you for sharing this, I hope I can apply this knowledge to my life going forward
I saw a kitty in this ones negative, like a cute sleepy kit. I didn't see the face but when you pointed it out it was all I could see. It was like you brought the none-obvious out as if it was always meant to be there.
that's so cool! I personally saw a wizard facing away from us, with his right hand in the air casting a spell! especially while you were still smearing it, I saw the silhouette of his ankles at the bottom of the cloak so clearly, I think you can tell I'm a character designer and not much of a portrait artist lol
Really cool to watch the video twice and see what he’s talking about and what he see right after he blots the ink with the towel. Seeing the face already there was cool to see.
How did this guy make his language at the end, sound like the actual silhouettes he is looking at on paper at the start? That right there is some mystical talent my friends.
Oh my god when you pointed out the outline of the mouth and nostril I lost my mind. I couldn’t see it until you mentioned it and then BAM, full face The brain is truly amazing, and so are you sir

I'm a mcu nerd cuz I imagined Chris Hemsworth delivering that like
So the whole world came from a cloud of steam?
@@usernamed0189 pretty much everything in the universe came from a cloud of steam
@Usernamed#01 Well, no the world came from the heat meeting the frost in Ginnungagap, creating the giant Ymer, who is the giant the cosmos it built out of :) makes sense
Yeah, our mythology is pretty cool 😎
It's so cool to hear the process behind your art!
Kovfefe
Fun fact in the middle of the vid if you puase and look at the left side sideways in the middle you see a smiley face
That's so fucking wild. I didn't see anything, even when you literally pointed to the nostril, then the second you put that little smudge that sorta resembled an eye, the entire face stood out like it was there the entire time.
So trippy. Art is absolutely wild.

“A badly drawn lion thing”
No sir, I know you, it’s probably gorgeous.
A gorgeous lion thing.
That felt like a painting class and a philosophy lecture rolled into one quick video.
any good art lesson is also a good life lesson
@@noxabellus any good lesson is a good life lesson. It's about transferring knowledge from one subject to another ^.^
This was really interesting! When you pointed out the parts of the face, I zoned in on a face shape that was much smaller than the one you actually saw. What I love about this method is how different the outcome is for everybody.
Same here, little skull lookin boy in the bottom left
Agreed if ya look at the top part it looks like a hat and the darker ones are the coat this type of art is awesome many intrepertation
Now look on the opposite side and then the creepy ‘ZoomZoom’ kid from the old Mazda commercials is staring at you.
yeah same
I seen the little face too, I jus commented before I read yours; the nostril is the eye
This man is the highschool art teacher we all deserved and needed
nah
I wouldn't say we desevered. Every friendly and helpful person with half of his talent should be enough for a regular class.
That difference, us seeing the dragon and you seeing the troll, is the wide gulf between amateur and professional. Always impressive work.
I found your videos from Scott Seva, these are so cool!
Me too!!
It's so so cool!!
Same here! And I'm in awe!!! Like... this is amazing!
me too 😁
Same
Me too!
This man Belongs in a different era
Nope, he is here to remind us what does it mean to be a human.
I don't think you realize how profound what you just said truly is.
How come we never get these actual passionate and talented people who can grab our attention in school? Where we need them the most.
They started out that way. But the unrelenting negligence from the school system and the awful pay with a standardized system for ART has drained their souls. Every step they take towards creative freedom they get beaten back by bureaucracy and angry parents.
Your skill and knowledge is unreal
Omg I love this the way you explain your process 💗 I'm in love with the story telling of Norse mythology!
This is probably the coolest style of art ever to grace my RUclips shorts scrolling adventure, instant subscribe
I love the fact that you are providing us with norse culture. Denmark is such a beautiful place.
Dude that's talent beyond anything I've ever been capable of in my pathetic existance. That's incredible!

I am watching a guy draw a picture and teleported to places I had never imagined or considered. Well done sir.
Absolutely beautiful art. While you were explaining negative space, where you pointed out the lip and nostril, I could see half of a skull, wearing a crown. So I love what you decided on lol. So fitting
Just came from @ssavaart channel and got amazed by your technique, you kill it! ✨💚 Much love from Brazil! 🖖🏻👽
Wow how wonderful are you?! Here from Scott Savas channel, and I adore your work, so pleased to have discovered your channel!! 🙏🏼💙😍
Absolute lovely! Not only great art, but a wonderful understanding and explanation of Norse mythology!
Your words are always something profound like dang. I know it's just art, very COOL art. But your words behind the art just feels like so... Inspiring
I LOVE HOW YOU DRAW! YOU ARE ORIGINAL! ❤
Not only are you an amazing artist, I also love how you share your process and make me learn something about mythology, history etc. Thank you for sharing!
This dude is insane, which of course makes him awesome. Amazing work, I really like how he can see what most don’t.
I came here from Scott’s channel and OMG I’m so happy I found you!!! Ur art is truly breathtaking!!! Where are you from my friend? I love all of the Viking and old world artistry
That blew me away, honestly. Never been so blindsided by something on RUclips before
This being a lot about norse mythology is something I really appreciate
I love hearing about Norse mythology. It makes me feel more connected to my heritage
You're such a character but I genuinely mean that in an endearing manner
The transition from dragon embryo to really scary face hit hard and instant. Wonderful
You have a very unique way of seeing things the others don’t see. I never would have guessed you saw a troll until you add to it. I should Sharpen my imagination more. You’re amazing.
Love hearing Norse Lore and the words sing to my soul. Also the second Hel was spotted to me, was the best moment... Thank you
So glad you shut the dragon silhouette commenters in the previous post up!
Holy shit. The brain is crazy. I didn't even notice the lip and nostril but as soon as you drew that eye, boom, there it was.
I love hearing yours process and could listen to you talk about art and the Norse gods all darn day!!! 😂
as someone who wants to be an artist, this has greatly improved my confidence. i immediately saw the face. instead of seeing just the white or black space i saw the whole thing.
Even though I am an artist, I can tell that you are at a different realm. I literally didn't see that shape coming😂😂😂
Idk why youtube decided to show me your shorts, but im obsessed now. Thank you algorithm, and keep up the beautiful art!!!
That one line around the face just instantly made it recognizable that’s insane 😮
Yo the second you made the back black I could see the face starting to form 😨 first the lips and eye then you started adding more details and I was BLOWN TF AWAY 😍 this is truly amazing art on progress!
To me, you can make art using anything, thats what your ink splashes have taught me, keep it up!! Youre amazing!!
The way you describe it actually helped me understand the process you use. Now I can possibly try doing it myself if I every decide to get out of my art procrastination!
I mean the drawing is excellent, but the statement …wow! Chef’s kiss.
What's great about a good artist is not their art but their vision. What's great about artists like you is that yours it brings out the artist in us to try and Invision our own. Thanks bro
As soon as you pointed at the lip, I SUDDENLY SAW THE FREAKING FACE LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
DAMN! You are a better explainer for norse mythology than mimir.
I like that.. I always use a similar phrase when writing music.. "it's not what you put in to a song, it's sometimes what you leave out that is important" ✌🏼 so I love the negative space idea
Wow, came here from @ssavaart and it did not disappoint. Look forward to seeing more!
This is why norse myths are some of my favorites. Much of the wisdom resonates with me, makes me think, and just sounds so badass.

I love the norse mythology lessons intertwined with your art its fantastic
I love this soooo much, as an abstract artist, I've been playing around with noise a lot in my art, same with it being busy, but my favourites are the one's experimented with negative space.
Just discovered you. I appreciate how much wisdom you radiate when I listen to you. You're a true mind opener man
I think it’s really cool that we both saw a face but yours was in a completely different way
absolutely love your work. This is how my imagination works. When im in one of those moods. Popcorn ceilings can get really out of hand.
I loved that reference to mythology, you’ve earned a follower
Discovering this legend and channel was like receiving a gift on Christmas!
This is incredible😳
This is what I've been needing in my life! It's not what you can see or not see but how you view the piece!
Omg, right before you mentioned the face I saw it! Damn I felt real proud of that for a moment haha.
I was so excited on the face part because I could immediately see the lip and the face before it was mentioned and was so proud that was what he saw as well.
as soon as you point out the nostril is all cam out. You are incredible!

Dude that was the most perfect line for a video I've ever seen
When we’re taught concept art we’re told to find the shapes in darkness, immediately saw a man raising his hand with a tattered cloak on
this actually blew my mind and made me see the ink blob in an entirely different way, I had no clue what you were talking about the first time around but then it all clicked and honestly I was blown away by how you were able to see a face in that, thank you for sharing this, I hope I can apply this knowledge to my life going forward
honestly best short i have ever seen, thank You
Personally I saw a cloaked man in the second one. Staring off into the distance of the negative space around him.
2nd video I've seen after the Achilles video and i absolutely love mythological stories so thanks for sharing!
I’ve been contemplating Hel and her role for a time now. I believe it is time to add her to my hearthcult.
I saw a kitty in this ones negative, like a cute sleepy kit. I didn't see the face but when you pointed it out it was all I could see. It was like you brought the none-obvious out as if it was always meant to be there.
Your process is a great influence sir! Thank you! I really owe you one.
I saw hands reaching out from the abyss. honestly these video are low-key therapy-esque lmao.
Three one word lines sums this up:
Exquisite
Impressed

Man just casually dropped a Nordic wisdom bomb and a too bad at the same time in a brilliantly polite way
Ur becoming one of my fave humans.
Amazed at ur work and love listening to ur thoughts.
I was confused at first when you say your looking for the negative space now I know what you mean by negative space you always blow my mind
that's so cool! I personally saw a wizard facing away from us, with his right hand in the air casting a spell! especially while you were still smearing it, I saw the silhouette of his ankles at the bottom of the cloak so clearly, I think you can tell I'm a character designer and not much of a portrait artist lol

dude, its incredible that u can make art out of anything!
Ok- that’s kinda creepy, but I love it, and I was expecting you to draw like, one of those scorpion lion things in a shadow, lol
Lowkey was hype that i guessed you would draw a face out of the splotches, i saw the lips and thought that was the direction you would go
How did this guy make his language at the end, sound like the actual silhouettes he is looking at on paper at the start? That right there is some mystical talent my friends.
This short is beyond beautiful, a perfect reflection of your work! Keep it up!
I love the Norse mythology as the underlying philosophy driving the creativity
Oh my god when you pointed out the outline of the mouth and nostril I lost my mind. I couldn’t see it until you mentioned it and then BAM, full face
The brain is truly amazing, and so are you sir
The fact we both saw a face in the same way is cool. Like I know humans are hardwired to find faces but it was still cool
Well that was the language of a professional. Always good to find a peer.
I seen the face as soon as you wiped it. Great work man, I need start drawing again it's been years.
Sometimes a person needs to be crazy to find his talent.. and this guy is a crazy talent
If it's already shaped like a dragon there's no room for imagination except add a little bit of detail.
Dude in that video where you were trying to get dragons, one of the ones you threw away was perfect
Norse Pagan here as well. Thank you for all you do!
Bloody jenious!
Great work.
Thanks to share your journey.
Keep posting.
This one blew my mind. I was looking at something completely different and with one stroke it became something else.
That turned out waaaaaay better than anything I saw looking at it. Love the dark art
I love the symbolism of the spaces in between ❤
I love this philosophy for creating, that's so enlightening. Makes me want to give it is try.
I'm sooooo glad to stumble upon this. God bless the internet and God bless you, friend.
