It feels nice watching a Megan Wang video while eating your favorite pasta after a rough day of school
looool what a coincidence that this is exactly what im doing right now 💛🍝💛
🍝
DUDE THAT IS LITERALLY ME RIGHT NOW LMAO
A bit of a read but I hope this helps you Megan(or others
Thank you for sharing your nice tipo it's helpful I will definitely try it .
i love wylie beckert’s stuff. and yes planning and experimenting is really important.
It's completely valid for your favourite art medium to change over time, your art will grow as you do and if you're currently really enjoying digital art then absolutely follow what you find fun, try not to feel bad for it 😄
I sees studio meggy video and I simply must stop what I am doing and watch!! Glad to see u prioritize art making
ahahaha u are the best :')
I really love your digital work Megan! I feel like since you like the look of traditional art but prefer working digitally that’s where the conflict comes from. I think the mediums we choose should be the ones that are the most enjoyable for us to use to communicate so keep on doin what ur doin! Loved this vid
I love watercolor on mixed media paper with colored pencil. Easy clean up for sketchbook stuff.
I say art should bring you joy and if digital art is what brings you joy and lights that spark inside you that keeps you creating, then continue making art however works best for you. I tend to just keep a sketchbook these days for playful scribbles and idea planning, but I'm personally so much more happy and inspired creating with my iPad.
your art is so inspiring!! I’ve also been in a mood to make more digital art that “feels” traditional, definitely gonna try out some of the techniques you used for my work!! :3
I love this style of video where I can crochet and listen while also watching sometimes! 🫶
Also I have a siamese/ragdoll and it made me so happy seeing the cat at the end ꃋᴖꃋ
Yes! You have the right plan for growing!! Art is for the moment. Art is for being creative and being creativity every day is important. It helps you in every area of your life. I'll be screaming that from the rooftops until I die!!! Enjoy your journey. It's okay not to like what you've done before. You're not there anymore. One day, you'll look and may like it again. I'm glad I found you. I'm excited to see where your journey takes you.
A nice way to figure out what you like about compositions is to make a ton of squares or a grid in your sketchbook. Then go through your fav artists and scribble down examples of compositions they do that you really like. But keep the sketches super simple w shapes like circles or something. Like for example: I love how they put a big form here next to a tiny form in the corner etc. This way anytime you're struggling you can come back to that page in your sketchbook with successful compositions and try them out in various pieces.
totally understand! nothing wrong with being a digital artist :-) I'm an much older person studied traditional art school -and going digital especially on the iPad have been a life changer and saver for me. especially when having family, when there is no time or physical space, iPad have been fantastic during waiting time and traveling. Best to you
saving this vid to watch when i'm making art buy i luv it already
OK JUST FINISHED WATCHING! i feel u on being a digital artist to the core HAHA
You’re a digital artist def embrace it
I love Sophie!! I love her art too! Keep going lady! And maybe try some cheaper pastels. I think that’s the traditional media that you’re looking for! (Based on your digital work)
"zoowee momma" will now be a regularly used phrase in my vocab.
I'm surprised I even got the notification for this but thank you notification gods for sending this my way😆 I love your videos so so much🥰
i was just thinking abiut this: a lot of depth working with coloured pencils is building from a background color, so why not use colorful paper??
ive also recently been to an art exhibit from max ernst and while im not the hugest fan of his works it HAS inspired me to do/try out collages! i bet it would look super cute on a print or digital artwork to see the textures of different materials show through! like... fiber texture is so cool! why not use yarn??
anywho, enough of me rambling ^^ a big big thank you for this chill video 🦋🎶😊
your keyboard is COOL
The way you draw cats 😻
I really enjoy hearing your process and watching your illustrations come to life. It's so chill.
OMGGGGG all the pieces turned out soooooooo prettyyyyy, btw megan what keyboard do you use?
thank you! it's the cidoo v65. I got it from epomaker :)
@@MeganWangart thanks!
just keep sketching your plants and kitties and coloured pencil will come better to you. coloured pencils work better on paper with a bit of tooth to it, so that paper gift might be too smooth 🙂
Hey Megan! If it’s possible to incorporate traditional work into your digital? Like you did earlier in the video where something in your sketchbook then became something on your iPad? Check out Gem @the colour cave for coloured pencil tips, she has some brilliant ideas on using them! I started my art journey with watercolour so I’m now learning how to draw digitally and am having the same issue as you but the other way round - I find I get frustrated because I could paint something in watercolour quicker than digitally!
I feel like Rover is a mummas boy cause Cosmo is hardly there I feel like
I loved hearing your process of realizing your prefer doing digital art and not fighting that. I feel that to my core. The expenses to create traditionally are so hugeee and the delimitation of editing traditional art is huge. But both are beautiful ~ it’s refreshing to hear you express this because I feel there is an unspoken assumption that traditional art is better when that’s not true
"I dont hate this - thats a lie" hahaha this is a very relatable artist moment
Pentel Oil pastels are so great and they're only $8 for a box of 50! I think you should definitely try them out and then if you love them, you can spring for a more expensive set. I'm on the computer all day for my job, so I love taking a break from it and using traditional materials. And I love your painting of Cosmo (oh no, or is it Rover...I wasn't paying enough attention)! I know you doubt yourself, but you shouldn't!
the textures in this video !!!
i feel this sooo much with how traditional art just doesn't translate as well as digital art bc i am not that good at it!!! it's so NICE to have different layers and to be able to undo stuff as easily hehehe
Exactly! It’s much more forgiving. Like a digital piece will take me 30 mins to 2.5 hours max usually, but a traditional piece can take days because of how much I constantly have to go back and fix things.
Are you crazy?! I love the wood panel portrait of Cosmo!
Thanks for talking about your insecurities and second-guessing your art. I have major imposter syndrome so it’s reassuring to hear artists I respect talk about it. I also prefer digital art, traditional art is wonderful but it’s more expensive and you’ve got to have the space to work with it and store it.
Your chatting about experimenting to keep your content and merch and art new and fresh makes a lot of sense to me and resonates deeply. And it also made me think about how artists like Picasso must've felt the same way. Hence the phases of his creative expression; his blue phase, rose phase, African-inspired phase, and cubism phase. I think it's part of the creative expressive form; the desire to try all mediums but also the need to stay consistent for life's sake. Stay curious and as balanced as you can! If you falter, that's okay, we're only human
i loved watching this vid while making some earrings
I’m watching this on the plane like I said I would 😈 I LOVE your traditional pieces!!!!!!!! Mwah mwah mwah
So cute that you like all the stuff you made cause I remember your last video like this where you were like “ew idk I think I hate this bad my art???”
TEE HEE ILY2 hope u like the sketchbook
I like to use markers under colored pencils instead of paint so I don’t have to get out the messy paint 😈
We don't think anyone should feel guilty for the mediums or subjects they haven't yet mastered. Every artist should feel free to find their own way doing what feels natural to them! That's not to say that it should always be easy, but since the artist is ruler of their own creative domain, it's essential to develop a process that brings you back again and again. Eventually, we all find ourselves wanting to try new techniques and processes, on our own terms, according to our own goals!
very much so enjoyed seeing you draw for a week. I feel ya with what you feel comfortable drawing on the ipad. I'm also trying to get into a good habit of drawing in different mediums. Happy new year to you also!
I prefer digital over painting any day so what I would do is when I have an art project I need to submit for class I would create a quick sketch of it on my iPad before sketching it out and I always say “if it sucks on paper at least I got the digital” so it’s like a safe go 😂😂😂😂
i think gouache paint or soft pastels would be better for your style than colour pencils. but then again some really do prefer digital over traditional huh lol 😅🤣
I feel the digital drawing is just easier in so many ways it’s like cheaper and I can do it from my bed and if I need to stop I don’t feel so bad but when it’s traditional you feel like you need to finish the piece or you won’t come back to it.
I can’t wait to watch this while I’m chillin at the airport tomorrow :,) lol
Love that cidoo V65 keyboard.
Thanks,dear^^This really inspired to me sketch after long time
When u do traditional it's helpful to make what are called thumb nails to help get down your composition and colors before you do the real thing. These test drawings are typicaly only a couple inches big to get the idea of it, but u can make them any size you want. It's just ment to be quick, fast, and rough sort of planning. Also if you want to get better the best way to do that is what your already doing. Putting in those pencil miles
yaaaas!! I'm all about co-working / co-existing w/ artists online - so this is MY JAM! UwU
u have inspired me to open my channel where I combine the aesthetic of Studio Ghibli with other artistic styles.thank u
I love your channel! But, ur too hard on yourself! U say I wannna do all these things BUT I don’t like it it’s not my thing. So don’t do it! Please don’t feel pressurised to fit in with the other artists if it isn’t your thing because ur art is ur choice. It’s ur art, remember that. Also that style is AMAZING it’s so unique and I love it soooo much! Ur amazing remember that.
This vlog really resonates with me. I'm struggling with art, both digital and traditional, and then style... Phew I'm not alone😌💕
This was such a comfy watch! The inability to undo irl is a limiter for me as a perfectionist, which is why I totally get the preference for iPad.
Side note, what monitor stand is that? I've been looking for something similar since I don't have a whole lot of desk space.
Omg this is so funny I'm the opposite. I want to be a digital artist SO BAD and yet... cannot convince myself to do it. Like... I love the tactile sensation of traditional art supplies.
Watercolour pencils and one of those water brushpen things is my peak dont-want-to-get-stuff-out default. And white gel pen. They dont take as long to dry out as regular paint imo, and I like that they're a subtle base
somethings that may help with the colored pencil frustration: used colored paper like pastel paper (the tooth of the paper helps); used colored pencil sticks to lay out large chunks of color; use colored pencils with other dry or quick-drying media like chalk pastels or markers; blend your media into each other either with a blender stump or your fingers or a colorless blender (or white colored pencil); build up your pencil layers through light layers
How u edit your videos or are u using apps?
so cute😊🐾🐾
Megan, what if you did it on your iPad first and then tried to replicate with traditional media. Just a thought I had while watching this. !!
I got a sennelier beginners set from a black friday sale at blicks! But now i'm too scared to use it coz despite the sales price, it was still expensive😂and that fear of wasting the pastel is STRONG
What sketchbook do u use?
Very fun and nice vlog, liked the cats and flowers drawings a lot 😊
Ooof digital vs traditional spoke to me. I hate being so bad at traditional, but this helped
what perfect timing! i just sat down to eat my homemade kimchi jjigae and i get to watch and eat 😌
24:21 that looks like the Hilda animation, and i thik that's beautiful
this video is so relatable and sweet that im making art every day for 3 days. thanks💓
It’s a joy to watch your videos I really really love the vibe
I LOVE that you said “zoo wee mama”!!
I saw a person offer an art piece for exchange of an art supply maybe you could do that to get the pastels? You are inspiring me to make art more every day!
You did it! You made the art everyday even when you weren’t feeling what you were making and that takes dedication😅 You made some really lovely gems and the daily (or every other daily if that’s more doable cuz every day is hard) practice really teaches us what we like to do, what we loathe doing, whether we need to just draw in our comfort zone some days or give ourselves a nudge with a challenge. I’m BIG Sophie fan too. I feel like she’s RUclips’s best kept secret- I’m always recommending her channel to people and I cannot believe she doesn’t have like 5M subs. It’s only a matter of time☺️She’s such a lovely person and I find her work and approach so inspiring.
Personally, I like Faber-Castell's color pencils way better. They are so smooth and don't break easily. I think with prismas I had an issue with them sometimes being inconsistent-- so sometimes they would lay down really rough for some reason. Maybe you might enjoy faber-castell's better-- you can do a lot with the 12 pack and some markers or watercolors. 😊
Can i ask what kind of plant that is behind you in the corner, soooo beautiful
Monstera!!
ive been working so much on procreate lately that ive become scared to go back to traditional mediums...bc of the fact that it would take hours and hours to recreate what i do digitally onto a real life canvas or paper
Hi there. Thanks for sharing. I agree with the walking issue. I don’t drive and would feel dependent on others for a ride in a city like LA. In New York you’ll be closer to Canada and Montreal! You should come here. 😊
Yes exactly!! I miss feeling 100% independent and I can just pop into a grocery store or a CVS / see friends with ease!! Also omg! I've been to Montreal once a few years ago in the autumn time and LOVED it so much, I need to go back to visit soon!!
@@MeganWangart my bf and I spent a year as castmembers in disney Florida and we missed the seasons. We’re both graphic artists animators and love your channel.
Yayyyy, Finally Megan you make another video. cmon pump these videos more often. much respect from a grafitti artist from NYC!!!!!!!!!
A tip for colored pencils if you don't want to use gouache but still want a color base behind it, alcohol or water based markers work really well with them too! Bc I'm currently working on a straight colored pencil spread and the burnishing stage is making my hand cramp something fierce, and I'm wishing I'd thought to use a bit of marker first myself lol. Also I love all the flowers, they're so pretty!
Aaah I just published my first ever sketchbook tour and I’m sooo nervous so this video had perfect timing to get my mind of it and to ease my nerves. It was such a good video as always Megan. I literally loved everything you made!
Hugs to you and thank you for inspiring me to make my own videos💖💖
You should totally try the pentel oil pastels! They’re so so good and so affordable I feel so liberated playing with them lol..
As always, love your videos 😘
I really makes me want to make art more... I have totally been lacking on just doing personal art. kinda want to challenge myself to my art everyday for a week too and just see what I create.
Something I do for color pencil art when I don't want to bust out wet media is I use my Tombow water-based markers and put that down as the base color and then use color pencil on top!
this is exactly what i was doing today: turned on your video while doing sketches 😍😍
I think I might do the same challenge, I haven't really been drawing lately that much!
Thank you for this amazing video!!!
You putting yourself down kind of a lot at least at the beginning. Definitely good to crave learning and growing. HOWEVER..... don't forget that so many people adore everything you create and you are doing this for a living for a reason! You are already wonderful and make such magical things. I feel the same as you but opposite. I want to try to get better at digital art this year because I always gravitate towards traditional mediums because I know them better. Cheers!
