- Join me in my home studio! I want to show you in this video how patience and authenticity are connected and how finding both can lead to magical things. As we talk about this, I'll be showing you the process of Starboy, which is a painting about nostalgia and embracing your true self ✨
Remember, the path to self-discovery and authenticity may not always be easy, but with patience, we can embark on a transformative journey that brings us closer to our true selves.

This video kind of woke me up because I've been so lost with my art and for years I told myself what I want is to create fantasy art but for years I've been mostly creating fictional character art and portraits… but just recently I entered an Art contest that involves Fantasy worlds. So I've decided you know… let's do it!! This artwork is the biggest digital artwork I've ever done. Now I am eager to make more fantasy work. My main problem is I have to know everything in order to draw it which makes me not want to draw… but watching this video made me think that I can just make art… even if it's bad… move on and enjoy it... I am getting older and I haven't made art I wanted to do...I've been stopping myself from completing art fast and mostly doing sketches… 💀🙈
That's amazing, I'm so happy for you! 😊 And thank you for taking the time to watch my video. If you're ever feeling overwhelmed by how much you have to learn with making art, just remember that good artists are just bad artists that never gave up, and the key to making good art is to make a lot of bad art - plus, what is good and what is bad, is totally subjective anyway! 😉 Good luck with your contest! You win anyway just by creating what you wanted to create! 💜
Social media has messed so many of us up! This year I realized how I had a habit of not allowing myself to sketch freely, but almost skip over it to get something created for social media. I feel as though I am relearning how to sketch in a way that is fun, enjoyable, and free. Allowing myself to take time on illustrations instead of trying to complete something for the social media machine. Authenticity has been a big deal for me lately, and because of you, I asked myself while in Hobby Lobby what represents where I am today, and butterflies came to mind. They are not only colorful to me but represent transformation to me. I felt like crying, because after I had that thought I found a beautiful butterfly sculpture and knew I was finally finding myself again. Someone commented this video feels like home, and I agree. It is like spending time with a friend while working on art.
Awh, wow, thank you so much for sharing this with me! I am so touched that my video and my words could resonate with you like that 💜 Keep creating, keep finding those moments of joy and keep being you! 😊
Something that has been on my mind lately, as i share my artwork, is that i want to put it out there in hopes of connecting with other people like me. I acknowledge that im a bit odd and i accept that the average person will not enjoy what I make, and that's okay. I know other people like me exist, even if they are nowhere near me in real life. I want to take advantage of this world wide public space to create connections i otherwise would never have the opportunity to cultivate. Thank you for your lovely content!
I wish you all the luck in connecting with your people! If you keep calling, they will answer even if it takes a little time! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed my video! 😊💜
@@ysvyri Thank you for the encouragement! :)
Of course! @@HeftyBalance-fj1st
I struggle with transforming black white sketches into colored paintings and the color wash you did is beautiful on its own and I’d be interested in seeing the process behind it if you ever choose to show it. :) The colors truly make this piece magical, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! 😊💜 I will try to show it some more next time!
Your video resonated with me in a lot of ways. Your art is beautiful and I really enjoyed the cozy tone of the vlog. Thank you and have a wonderful day!❤
Thank you so much, that's so very kind of you! 😊💜
I found your work recently, and I was intrigued to check out your RUclips channel! Your discussion on authenticity rung true for me too, especially since a big part of my 20s has been spent learning how to take care of and love myself. ❤I've been leaning in more heavily about the little and whimsical things that make me happy and I have found a new curiosity in exploring different themes and techniques for my art. 🎨I can admittedly feel intimidated in creative spaces because I do my art "only as a hobby" when I'm surrounded by talented people that do it professionally, but I do my best to see it as inspirational instead! 😄
Thank you for your kind message! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed my work and the little discussion on authenticity. Your journey towards self-care and self-love is inspiring! It's fantastic that you're exploring the whimsical and finding joy in your art too. Remember, every artistic journey is unique, whether it's a hobby or profession. I know many hobbyists who move within the professional community and I can tell you from experience, we just all want to paint and draw, anything else beyond that doesn't matter! Keep embracing your creativity! 😊💜
I love everything in the video 😌 on the path of healing myself and resonate with everything you said ❤much love to you and may your journey be blessed 🌙✨
Thank you so much for enjoying and resonating with my video! 😊💜 I wish you peace and wonder on your journey too!
Lovely thoughts and inspiration to follow my center soul 💕
Thank you so much! 😊💜 I'm so glad you resonated with my video!
This video feels like home
That's such a kind compliment, thank you so much 😊💜 I'm really glad you resonated with my video
Kim, I love these art vlogs. These are words that I needed to hear and even your art is soo beautiful the care that you put in your craft is amazing.
Awh, thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos and my work! 😊💜
Those feelings of magic are the best, that is what I aim for with my work too, it’s what I want to feel again
The authenticity re dark and edgy is interesting, it’s something I used to do too! Now I have fully embraced the silliness 😂
Right?? All my favourite art is so nostalgic! So I want to give that to others too 😊
@@ArtByEmilyHare 😂😂 it's so freeing!
I just found your channel and this really, really spoke to me,
ive recently been on that journey of authenticity and truly revisiting my own childhood in many many shapes and forms, the way i dress with less care and more practicality because i simply want to not stress about perfection,
inviting color into my life again
reading all my favoutire childrens stories, revisiting my favourite childrens series and pc games.
And rediscovering colored pencils, something that i saw others use perfectly so i never dared try, but that became such a huge inspiration for me now that it even floated right into the technique i use to make art.
Ive never felt more comfortable in my skin as i do now, im still on a journey, but i am me.
Im glad to hear about your journey, you are really inspiring and your art is gorgeous , it really speaks to me!
I'm so happy that you're going through this process! I feel like it's a real part of human growth. I hope you find happiness and wonder on your journey and that you feel comfortable within yourself as you go! Thank you so much for your kind comments about my video and my work, I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😊💜
Thank you for a calm and soothing video and talk to enjoy on a break. The painting is lovely! I am also working to discover or chat with my true self or inner child. :) Came here from Djamila Knopf's newsletter, so thanks to her, too!!! :)
Thank you so much for enjoying and resonating with my video! 😊💜 And I'm so glad you found me through her, she's my dear friend!
10:18 yes I’ve felt that and then people wonder why so sketchy; so while I’ll never go for detail I do wish to take my time in the present moment with my artworks :)
As long as you're making artwork at a pace that's comfortable to you, that's what matters! 😊💜
@@ysvyri Yes! I only judge my artwork by whether I’ve felt in the moment with it and connected; some may be under an hour, others 30 plus. Main thing is social media not dictating that process but as a vehicle for sharing the sort of art we would be creating anyway. Enjoyed the video 🥰🥰
That's such a good and healthy relationship to have with your work, that's awesome! And thank you so much 😊😊💜 @@CJShopland_Art
It honestly startled me to come across this video, hearing someone in the exact same stage in their life and their work as I am, even down to your thoughts and difficulties with it. It was like hearing my own words. I too made myself in the image of others and changed due to a family issue, except my father left this world. I have been struggling to find out what it is I really enjoy making as I realized I don't even know anymore, so I started a journey to find out. I've started taking my own reference pictures of things that inspire me in the moment just so I can actually LOOK at what inspires me, to have that answer, to see where there is still magic for me. Your artwork, btw, is ABSOLUETLY BEAUTIFUL and the piece you painted here.. it's almost as if the character's inner glow resonates around the piece. Thank you for posting this. I knew I wasn't alone in my struggle, but it was so nice to find someone in ALMOST EXACTLY the same spot.
That's incredible, thank you for sharing with me💜 And, I'm so sorry about your father, I know from watching someone close to me in my life lose their father around the same time as mine got sick that it's so incredibly difficult and full of complex emotions. Thank you so much for resonating with my little video, it means a lot to me! And thank you too for your kind words about my artwork 😊 I wish you all the peace and wonder on your journey towards finding who you are!
Wow absolutely stunning artwork
Thank you so much! 😊💜
I wish I could look your color process before rendering but I love 💕 all the video thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you so much! 😊💜 I will try filming more next time
i can feel the love that You put into this video. it's honestly so soothing! thank you for sharing 💜
Awh thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊💜
Totally get what you mean about trying to recapture that sense of magic as a kid. :)
Right? I love some nostalgia 😊
@@ysvyri yeah, and some healing. Give that younger you some room to play. 😊✨
@@ryanjamesart I love that! 😊💜
this video is so beautiful!! and the artwork too!!
Thank you so much! 😊💜 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I’m new here and your words hit me to the core. I needed to hear that I am not alone in how I feel about my creativity. I was just asked what does my art say? What feelings does it invoke to a others? When all I just want to paint things that make me feel happy and proud of. Thank you again for being vulnerable and brave to share it with the world.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you resonated with my video! 😊💜 I really hope you can follow your heart through your work!
Tea game on point 👌 great video!
Haha thank you! 😂
your painting was beyond magical and made me think of howl's moving castle. i adore your art style and your use of your colors, plus your voice and advice was wonderful. i love this video and your art, please keep it up
Thank you so much! 🥺💜 I'm so happy you enjoyed my video! And Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favourite films! So I'm happy about that comparison haha! 💜
Thank you for this cost vidéo and your process. I will follow your posts with pleasure your art is amazing 😊 for me : I try to focus on traditional medium art to stay focus on my identity even if I use digital to prepare my palette and sometimes to make my sketch. There's a lot of very good digital illustrators here in France so I decided to have something little different to show.
Thank you so much! 😊💜 I'm so happy my video resonated with you! Keep doing whatever feels true to you! And remember, you can always change if something else starts to feel more authentic 😊✨
thank you for putting the time and effort to make this great video ♥♥♥
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and enjoy it! 😊💜
Thank you for sharing that ❤
Thank you so much for enjoying it! 😊💜
Beautiful work, videography and a person thank you for making them ❤
Thank you so much 😊💜
@@ysvyri youre videos are soo well made is there any where u can recoment to learn this skill.
You’re definitely in the top 3 art RUclipsrs I have ever seen on the internet, I think it’s vital for us aspiring artists to acknowledge our mental health and work more on our mindsets than skills
Thank you for the value you’re putting out here, such inspiration!
Oh wow, thank you so much for your kind words! 😊💜 I agree with you! In developing such a difficult skill such as art making, we need to look after our own mental health along side!
Beautiful, thank you!
Thank you so much, Danielle! 😊💜
I can’t wait to see your channel grow. I’ve received so much inspiration and encouragement from watching this. I’m trying to start a channel soon and this has given me strength to do so.
Oh, amazing! I hope you'll find as much joy in making videos as I do 😊💜 good luck! And thank you so much for enjoying my channel, there'll be more soon!
This was exactly the kind of video I needed today. I've been struggling with depression and part of it is around my direction in life and my real self. Thank you for sharing and putting this out there. Love the painting, too!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and for resonating with my video 😊💜 I wish you peace and a smooth road towards your true self. You can do this!
i really needed to hear this, especially the part where you mentioned feeding social media,, living in such a fast-paced world who's attention spans are only getting smaller by the day is really difficult to live with sometimes. i feel like i have to rush myself to finish a painting just so that i can get it out there and be able to hop onto the next hype-train, and what sucks even more is that i struggle with adhd *and* autism. often times i cant get myself to complete or even begin a painting that quickly. ive grown to resent and hate social media because of this, that and along with all of the toxicity it adds onto my daily life that i just dont want for myself anymore. this video helped me nudge myself in the right direction - i guess i just needed to hear someone tell me to let go of it, and that ill be okay without peer-pressuring myself like that, that i'll make it. thanks from a random 17 year old! ive got a long way to go :]
You're so young, so you have plenty of time to figure things out and become comfortable with who you are - and I can promise you, you will feel more and more at home with yourself as you get older. I'm so glad my little video could help you feel comforted and reassured 😊💜 I wish you wonder and joy on your journey!
Wow I like this! I really enjoy your thoughts ❤😊
Thank you so much! 😊💜 I'm so glad it resonated with you!
This was so nice to listen to! I've been mesmerized by your work for a while, so seeing the process was really cool to see!
Thank you so much, 😊💜 I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Such calming content, Kim. Much needed
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed my video and resonated with it 😊💜
Beautifully put
Thank you so much 😊💜
Hey Kim! Love this vlog. I always gotta take my dogs out for a walk and it helps get me take a break from work/painting. I also love the bits about slowing down to enjoy.
Joseph! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it 😊💜 Getting outside is the best, and getting outside with dog friends is even better 😉
Your art is beautiful.. would like more
Thank you so much! I'll be uploading more soon 😊💜

Hi and welcome! I'm so pleased you found me through Djamila, she's my dear friend! Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so happy you resonated with my video 😊💜
I love the video, Kim! It feels so cozy and was an inspiring watch while drawing. The painting is beautiful and it is wonderful to experience your joy while making it. Also, all your thoughts about childhood magic and authentic excitements and how we curate it to suite others - I feel that so much
Thank you Chantalll! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and resonated with it 😊💜
a little bit of peace was found in this video~ thank you for sharing it
I'm so glad it brought you at least a little peace! Sometimes that can make all the difference 😊💜

What a cozy and calming video
Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊💜 I'm glad my video resonated with you, it's a huge subject I want to talk about more in the future!
@@ysvyri Looking forward to see your future videos!! ✨💖
Thank you.
Thank you for watching and resonating with my video 😊💜
Such a cozy video. Thanks for sharing your process with us, and for the information as well.
Thank you so much! 😊💜💜
you gave me peace and hope
Awh, thank you so much for enjoying and resonating with my video 😊💜
What a wonderful video! You touch on a lot of things I often think about. I often take really long with my pieces like 3-4 weeks, which is very tough to justify on an economic level. But it's how I produce my best werk and that seems to show through to other people.
Also I tend to grow more obsessive and work longer hours just before I finish a painting. On the one hand, you might have grown a little tired of it and just want to finish. On the other, you also somehow already look back longingly at the first few hours of the painting where you still had so much ahead of you. Because you realize looking back how fullfilling it was working on it.
Anyway, new subscriber here^^
Thank you so much Felix! 😊💜 I think it's important to always remember to go at your own pace and to not compare yourself to others. I see nothing wrong on wanting to get faster if you'd like to, but always be sure not to pressure yourself too much! It's all good!
This was so cozy and inspiring! Beautiful painting, Kim!
Awh, thank you so much, that means a lot! 😊💜
Awesome video, it really comes across as so uplifting and inspiring! Really does feel like the culmination of several years of personal growth indeed and the beginning of something new, and I hope we get to see more videos and things like this =)
Awh, thank you so much my dear friend 😊😊💜
I'm crying 🤠
Awhh nooo! 🥺💜😂
Great video! Love the art. Your thoughts on authenticity were something I really needed to hear at the moment.
Thank you so much! 😊💜 I know how hard it is to struggle with these things, so I'm really glad it could help in some way! Go out there and thrive!
such a lovely art piece and message!
Thank you so much! 😊💜
❤
😊💜
Please show more of your process
We shall see 😊
It's so good to see this video, you inspire me ♥
Thank you so much, Daniela 😊💜 I'm really happy this resonates with you!
This was so calming 🥰🌸
I'm so glad you liked it 😊💜
I just loved what you said about ourselves being the greatest work of art we will ever work on ♥
And about liking things as a performance too! I realized this recently and I'm working on it currently, to just find what I truly like if there was anyone around. Pretty hard to do when we are a chameleon HSP, trying too much on being attuned with other instead of simply being ourselves - if we only know who we are after all these years of people pleasing ... Luckily I've spent and still spend enough time alone to not losing my true self. I have to keep that precious on my own, even if I feel lonely or even FOMO.
I'm a bit curious, what are the themes/subjects you were painting before you don't want to paint anymore, then what are the ones you (re)discovered loving the most ?
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and resonated with the message! 😊💜 To answer your question; I always kept my work dark and horror related, pressuring myself to go darker. It's funny, because my work has always had a romantic vibe, so even when I was doing that my true self was peeking out. I actually really love ghost stories and gothic novels - but I now embrace only the parts of the horror genre I like rather than trying to get as edgy/dark/serious as possible. I also don't stop myself now if I start to like something outside of that realm, whereas before I would force myself into a tiny box!
@@ysvyri Thank you so much for your answer! I can totally relate, back in the day I have been too much influenced by what I saw, and what my friend liked too (and sometimes I'm just genuinely interested in too much stuff :D). But when we encounter it we can feel into our guts what we really love, and that's where we find our true self and happiness :)
I wish you all the great time painting your true and authentic subject and aesthetic!
@@AuroreFolny Awh, thank you! And I wish you the same! 😊💜
@@ysvyri Thank you so much ! 🤗🖤
Vibes 💕✨🫶🏻
Thank you so much! 😊💜
So lovely and inspiring ❤
Thank you so much Emily! 😊✨💜
May I make a suggestion or perhaps dare to call you straight away magical INTJ kin?🥺☄️✨
If you really are I would not be surprised at all, but if my guess is not correct I still admire you a lot and hope you will get as many true and loving followers as you can 👉👈💖
Bringing so much beauty of thoughts and art is deserving to be noticed :3💫
Awh, thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! 😊💜 Unfortunately, I'll have to disappoint you as every time I take the Myres Briggs I come back as an INFJ 🥹 I got the IN part though!
@@ysvyri waaa still cool :33✨
