"Just start" is my motto for this year. Yesterday I drew something and was angry in between because it wasn’t „perfect“. I showed it to my husband and he loved it. You always make yourself worse because you know what it should actually look like. But others will always consider it beautiful and good. Lots of love to everyone 🧡
I haven't drawn in months, and day after day I realize how much I miss even drawing something simple. Also thnx for making these videos and talking about such interesting topics. 👍
Thank you so much. I went through that too. You have to take baby steps. Today, whenever you find yourself scrolling on your phone or just binging tv, pick a memo pad and scribble. You don't have to do anything special or fancy. That moment has to be special, but not the drawing you do. Try and see how you feel. If you need any help with next steps I'll be here :) (I don't know if you already watched it but I have a video here where I teach you what to do to come back to drawing, and at the end of the video I give you an exercise a day for a week, try check those out) 🦇♥
I met Leonora Carrington in person in 2008 in Mexico City. I´ve got all her books, literature and art both. I love Remedios Varo too. Modern artists I can name Rebecca Guay, Julie Bell, Vespertiliu (of course), Orphneé Acheron, Terese Nielsen and Ayami Nakashima and male artists Egon Schiele, Frank Frazetta, H. R. Giger, Gustave Doré, Nino Salvadori, Van Gogh and Joaquin Sorolla. And recent artists I can name Seb McKinnon, Yoann Lossel and R. K. Post.
The way I screamed when I read you met Leonora Carrington. Can I ask how was she? She’s just an interesting charming artist. Also love a lot of the artists you mentioned too! Thanks for sharing ♥️🦇
She was very polite and charming, she was with one of her sons visiting a bazaar of books looking around. When she passed away I was very sad, she was my favourite artist at that time and still is among my biggest inspirations. I was in last year of highschool when I met her.@@vespertiliu
Thank you for this video! And I like how you note that being a full-time artist is a transition, whether you have published work or not. I myself have two published videogames in my experience despite not being a full-time artist, and working as a teacher at the moment, so I can relate a lot to that. Nevertheless, I know this is just a part of my journey and it inspires me to do more things and keep on trying. Thank you so much! 🦇
Weronika, you're fantastic. They way you describe reality is motiving, it's like listening to friend who really cares about you, not some twisted YT celebrity. 🖤
Ahh The Witch of Positano😊 I love Vali & her work. I have one of her books. Such a treasure. I’m happy I came across your channel. I’m really enjoying it. I smiled so much when you mentioned Edward Gorey as well. I had the pleasure of visiting his home in Massachusetts which is turned into a museum. I got to walk around, see his work & living space. Even got to see his iconic fur coat and esoteric jewelry that was on display. I think you would love seeing all the Gashlycrumb Tinies gravestones under his magnolia tree! Thank you for your video.
This comment warmed my heart! You have no idea how much! Thank you so much for this. I'd love to visit Gorey's house at some point. Never been in the states, there are plenty of places I'd love to see. Vali is such a wild incredible artist ♥🦇
I’ve been drawing and sketching since the 80s when I was a kid, when I first read a fighting fantasy gamebook. I’ve been hooked on pen and ink illustrations and anything, everything sci-fi / fantasy / horror ever since. The illustrator of those early fighting fantasy books was Russ Nicholson and, while I love many artist’s work, his work will always hold the special place of being my first inspiration to pick up a pen and draw. I’ve never made a cent drawing and I don’t think I will ever pursue it. Even if I was offered a job as a concept artist I don’t think I would take it. I draw because I love it, and I worry that if it became a job with deadlines and quotas, my passion would disappear. 😅
It's ok! If you think your artistic expression is at its best when in a safe private environment, then you have all the right to protect that relationship between you and your art. Anyway, if I was in your shoes I would probably take the chance, and che minute I notice it's not form I would go back to drawing for pleasure. But I personally would not discard that possibility without even trying :)
What a great video of information. Thanks for making it. Very encouraging! I actually love many of those artist you mentioned, so good. Your art is brilliant🙌
You are very talented and inspiring, so thank you for sharing your artistic process and inspirations! Very helpful to get back into a good creative flow again 🙏🌹
As always, your videos are absolutely impressive and inspiring 😺👍. And as spring is coming soon in Finland 🇫🇮, i should definitely look for some drawing 🖋️🖊️✏️🖍️ art classes for this year's summer and or autumn 😺👍. Just like last time in 2020.
Ciao Veronica, grazie per il video e gli ottimi consigli! È davvero un piacere sentirti parlare, si sente dalla tua voce che sei veramente appassionata, trasmette una genuinità che non si può far a meno di adorare :') hahaha mi ha migliorato la giornata Mi sono segnata gli artisti che hai nominato🤩 mi vergogno di ammettere che tra questi ne ho riconosciuti soltanto un paio ma rimedierò! Inoltre, non ricordo in quale video lo avevi menzionato, ma lodo il tuo coraggio per disegnare in treno🙈 io non ne sarei mai in grado lol Ancora grazie per i tuoi contenuti, mi invogli a disegnare 🥰
Ciao Nicole! Pensa che il treno è paradossalmente uno dei posti in cui preferisco disegnare! Perché non ho distrazioni intorno e il tempo di un disegno mi fa passare più velocemente quell’ora di viaggio! Per gli artisti nessuna vergogna! Anzi bellissimo che ne hai scoperti di nuovi! Proprio oggi ho preso un artedossier su un artista che non conoscevo proprio! Abbiamo tutta la vita per scoprire nuovi artisti ♥️🦇 Grazie di tutto comunque
Non posso far a meno di restare stupita ma penso sia bellissimo🥰 probabilmente il mio posto preferito dove disegnare è al mare, purtroppo non abito in una zona balneare haha🥲 E grazie a te, sei gentilissima!
Couldn't help notice the scarecrow Jack Skellington behind you. Nice. I definitely see the Edward Gorey influence in your character drawings. What are your feelings on Salvator Rosa?
Hi! I admit I knew some of the works of Rosa but didn't actually know it was his work. Looked it up when I read your comment this morning. Loved him. Thank you so much for your recommendation 🦇♥️
Thank you for sharing your story and your insights on things like inspiration. It often feels like people are searching for some magical fairy to catch, but sometimes it's as simple as surrounding yourself with what you love and drawing from your passions. It’s a straightforward yet complex concept; my room, adorned with skulls and splashes of green, could easily be mistaken for someone’s graveyard! 😄 Since you asked for topic suggestions, how about some tips on live drawing? I sometimes find live drawing to be rather dull and uninspiring. I try to challenge myself by focusing on different aspects, such as gestures, hands, or even attempting to draw faces. However, it often feels like I’m just copying what I see, which can be particularly uninspiring, especially if the model isn’t to my taste (which is usually the case). Despite this, I still attend these events and experiment with different techniques and approaches. Perhaps you have some tips or an interesting perspective on this matter? P.S. putting sketchbook over Elvira's talents, lol, well played ;)
You're so talented and gorgeous! One of my favorite artists is Yoshitaka Amano! Look up the art for Vampire Hunter D and Final Fantasy. Do you have your Tarot printed and able to be purchased? Italians do it better!! ❤❤❤❤
Hello! I know Yoshitaka Amano! He's great! My tarot deck is coming out in April, published by Lo Scarabeo :) You'll be able to buy it on their website or order it in regular bookshops! The one I show at the beginning of my video is actually my Oracle deck that I'm self-publishing! I'll be able to purchase it soon! Stay tuned 🦇
Hi! I should do a whole video on that topic, but a very simple tip that many seem to sleep on is to keep in mind were the light source is from and therefore put all the shadows in the opposite direction. Seems like the basic concept to shading but truth is many get lost in shading the shapes of the various elements in the artpiece and forget to make it functional to the light source. Hope this helps :)
So I was wondering, do you strictly do pen to paper, or do you also do illustrating in Photoshop? Also do you study any other outlets, such as photography, or writing? I also write, and I am currently working on a book, as well as study digital art, ( Blender as of right now ). What artists do you like? I like James O'Barr, Bernie Wrightson, and Tim Vigil. When I see your work, I personally see influences of Serena Valentino. She had a comic years ago called Gloom Cookie. I will leave it at that. I am very happy I found your channel.
Hi, in this video I talk about many of my favorite artists (maybe when you commented you still weren't there ahah). As for the rest, I practice writing with every new story I write, so yeah, in a way I'm studying writing :) Right now my art is strictly black and white ink on paper, since I found out it's the media I'm more comfortable with, but if you go on my instagram you'll also find digital pieces! I didn't know Serena Valentino, I'll check her out! Thank you so much for your support :)
@@vespertiliu I jst finished seeing the video, and you have some great choices, Ed Gorey in my opinion is a true pioneer. That being said, I would like to make a few recommendations that I think you would like. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein (A Marvel Illustrated Novel) Paperback - January 1, 1983 by Bernie Wrightson The tales of Edgar Allan Poe illustrated by Bernie Wrightson. ( This may take some digging. It may be in some of the old "CREEPY" magazines ) Gothic Nights a Tale of Scarlet Passion #1 by Tim Vigil ( There is a part 2, if you want the entire Graphic novel you may have to search a little as well ). Veils by Pat McGreal , Stephen John Phillips, et al. | Apr 1, 1999 In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe by Jonathon Scott Fuqua and Stephen John Phillips | Aug 1, 2003 Gloom Cookie Volume 1 by Serena Valentino and Ted Naifeh | Mar 4, 2001 I will leave at that for now. For the record, I did make the post before seeing the video, but you definitely answered all my questions. I feel you, and some others is exactly what I need. Thank You so much!!!
One question, do you know how to draw cities or streets in perspective? Could you teach me? I'm not talking about the typical kind of perspective cubes, I just want to draw perspective and original buildings. T___T pls
Thank you for the video (～￣▽￣)～ It is very inspiring! I'm 30 and trying to find my creative path. Your video strengthened my desire to continue and not give up drawing. I will continue to draw as long as I have passion! Keep making your wonderful videos
Hi darling! Thank you so much for your kind words! I really wish you the best for your creative path! My only advice is to take it easy, don't fucus on comparison and competition, focus on what makes you feel good about YOUR art. I'll do my best to keep it up here, but if you need any other help on the go you can dm me on IG or come back here to the comments
Ciao Veronica, ho una domanda per te A ottobre ho iniziato un accademia d arte molto famosa, i miei compagni sono simpatici e i prof sono ottimi e prepararti Il punto però è che io mi sento molto frustata perché vedendo la mia arte voglio solo distruggere tutto Sento che il mio lavoro peggiora a vista d occhio, mi sento bloccata in uno stile non mio ma non so come uscirne Cosa mi consigli?
Ciao tesoro, allora, partiamo con la parte "emotiva" del problema, e poi ti do anche dei consigli pratici: capisco perfettamente come ti senti perché ci sono passata anche io e ci passano TUTTI gli artisti e i creativi. Anche la persona che per te ha l'arte più perfetta in assoluto, nella sua vita ha provato, prova o proverà una sensazione simile. Fondamentalmente il problema non sei tu ne gli altri, è la società in cui cresciamo. Una società che ci spinge al confronto e a credere che l'unico modo per non fallire sia eccellere, quando in realtà è uno stile di vita e di pensiero di una tossicità indicibile. Il primo consiglio che ti do è di identificare quelle vocine che ti dicono "è orribile! distruggi tutto" e cominciare a rispondergli! Esempio - vocina: "che brutto! non sarai mai abbastanza brava!" tu potresti rispondere "non sappiamo nemmeno cosa mangeremo domani a pranzo, non puoi avere la risposta a questa domanda. Non è una certezza. Invece una cosa concreta è: con la pratica si migliora. Quindi ciò che hai detto non ha senso". Non sarà per niente facile, ma devi attivare un dialogo interiore e fornirti il supporto necessario al tuo benessere psicologico (e di conseguenza alla tua espressione artistica) da dentro di te. Piano piano devi diventare la tua fan numero uno. Anche il disegno più brutto diventerà prezioso, perché sarà un indicatore di cosa potresti fare ancora meglio. Per quanto riguarda il lato pratico, come racconto nel video, nel mio momento più buio, a me ha fatto bene tornare a disegnare per divertimento. Disegnare ciò che volevo, senza il peso di "cosa penseranno gli altri". Circondarmi di ciò che mi ispirava, mi faceva sentire bene e attivava la mia creatività. Provaci anche tu. Quando serve puoi anche scrivermi in dm su IG. Sai dove trovarmi :)
@@vespertiliu same here girl 😞♥️, also let me flex in your comments a lil.. ya’ll i have her witchy journal that you saw at the beginning of the video, with a sketch she made just for me 😌😌, you better order that journal once it’s out because it’s so damn beautiful and it’s SUPER useful!!

You are very talented and inspiring, so thank you for sharing your artistic process and inspirations! Very helpful to get back into a good creative flow again 🙏🌹
Thank you so much! Glad the video is helpful 🦇♥️
Nice advices. Gorey's art and Doré are truly beautiful. I have some books from them, but I love the Doré illustrations of Orlando Furioso. Nice video!
OMG I love his Orlando Fuorioso too! Those are gorgeous!
It's so refreshing that you are so helpful and don't gatekeep information. Best spooky art teacher!
Thank you so much! My goal is to tell you what I wished someone told me. I'll do my best to keep it up 🦇♥️

This is so sweet 🥺🦇♥️ thank you
Finally I found an artist whose artstyle I really like and actually has a chanel! You inspire me so much, and have great tips!❤
Thank you so much darling 🥺♥️🦇
Finally found my modern day Italian Elvira. And she's teaching art.
To each their "talents" 🦇♥️👹
Thank you so much I've been on an artist block because I never thought I was good enough. You're such an inspiration!
Thank you so much for your kind words🥺 I’ll do my best to keep it up to help on your artistic journey 🦇♥️

I should do a whole video on that topic, but a very simple tip that many seem to sleep on is to keep in mind were the light source is from and therefore put all the shadows in the opposite direction.

Ciao Veronica, ho una domanda per te
A ottobre ho iniziato un accademia d arte molto famosa, i miei compagni sono simpatici e i prof sono ottimi e prepararti
Il punto però è che io mi sento molto frustata perché vedendo la mia arte voglio solo distruggere tutto
Sento che il mio lavoro peggiora a vista d occhio, mi sento bloccata in uno stile non mio ma non so come uscirne
Cosa mi consigli?
Ciao tesoro, allora, partiamo con la parte "emotiva" del problema, e poi ti do anche dei consigli pratici: capisco perfettamente come ti senti perché ci sono passata anche io e ci passano TUTTI gli artisti e i creativi. Anche la persona che per te ha l'arte più perfetta in assoluto, nella sua vita ha provato, prova o proverà una sensazione simile.

Per quanto riguarda il lato pratico, come racconto nel video, nel mio momento più buio, a me ha fatto bene tornare a disegnare per divertimento. Disegnare ciò che volevo, senza il peso di "cosa penseranno gli altri". Circondarmi di ciò che mi ispirava, mi faceva sentire bene e attivava la mia creatività. Provaci anche tu. Quando serve puoi anche scrivermi in dm su IG. Sai dove trovarmi :)
