    It’s too bad you’re not happy with this piece because I absolutely love it!! Probably my favourite of the three.

    Being critical of one’s own work is necessary to getting better at what you’re doing. You are also not responsible for how others feel. That is on them.

    Ugh your my no.1 inspiration!!! You need to do a sketchbook tour soon!!! I can’t get enough of your semi realism style sketches!

  • @jennyannart
    @jennyannart 6 лет назад +44

    Well actually I 💙💚💜💛 the way the architecture paintwork turned out. The cafe kind of resembles an older type of architecture and the brushstrokes give me that atmospheric feel ......they belong. I love the exposure effect to that's quite cool. Yes you're right about feedback on your self critique I think you're being unnecessarily hard on yourself but if that's what keeps you moving forward in your creative style or art in general so be it ....but oh the pressure...

  • @mariavarga863

    wahh this is my favorite outta the series! I like the gnome characters in a modern setting, which is interesting to look at as opposed to a fairytale setting.

  • @jengoodwyn2715
    @jengoodwyn2715 2 года назад

    The walls remind me of the rough, plastered walls in Europe, and my time living there, so I absolutely love them. But I also know you have to feel the art you are creating and I can't create if I don't "like" it. But I love your honesty!

  • @creekkidart7554
    @creekkidart7554 6 лет назад +16

    i don't think you should ever hold back from critiqueing your own art in videos. all artists need to learn that the way you improve is by being critical of everything and always looking for ways to improve. it's not saying 'i think this is really bad' just 'i know it could be better, so i am disappointed'
    also i really love the composition, and it's super cute, but i agree theres something off about the colors or contrast. but it's still really cute and im sure people would still want to buy prints

    @Xanderful209 3 года назад

    It’s been years since this was video was posted but I hope you still have this piece because it Is simply amazing. You are your worst critic, but I hope you have returned to this piece to see how much you’ve grown since. As a fellow artist, I totally understand this feeling you feel about certain pieces after completing them. However, looking back it on it should not show you a failure,but a step to the right direction ( I love this piece btw) .an artist can hate the work but the work can find a heart out there :) keep up the amazing content friend.

    I really like the composition and the lighting but see what you meant with the struggle with the gouache. I do like the texture that created on the walls though. I really hope to see more in this series. The characters are adorable and they can be put in so many situations 💙💙 more please 💙💙

    Maybe consider rendering the leaves with some subsurface scattering? It could add a lot of brightness and contrast to the foreground, which might be what it needs.

  • @seungheetahimik583

  • @myartpixie
    @myartpixie 6 лет назад

    The vines are well done with the depth shown with the shadows on the wall. I also like how they hang down and you included two flowers. Just love that. And the cat! HAAHA! Adorable! And Hey...just an idea...I like how this turned out, however if you aren't happy with it, do it again in watercolor. It has been a while but I did one of my drawings in copic, watercolor and colored pencil. I was indecisive about the finish and so I just did it with all three mediums. I enjoyed watching!

    maann! this piece is beautiful! I think in most cases, artists are hardly every fully satisfied with their own work because they have an ideal view of how they want the piece to turn out as, and it's something that most people cant see, because they have different visions.. if any xD
    Keep up the good work!!!

  • @AleesaTana
    @AleesaTana 5 лет назад

    I think my biggest critique is the shadow colors - the light coming through the window is very cool, so the shadows on the characters should be very warm, but instead you've painted them fairly cool, and almost too gray. I love your art style and it's been fun binging on your videos 😻. Also, calico cats are almost always female.

    Hi, Chris! I just wanted to say that you're totally right not going too easy on yourself. I think this is the only way to truly improve yourself.
    As to the piece, it's gorgeous! Yes, I did notice that the pigment was uneven on the structure of the walls but I didn't dwell on it, just acknowledged it and moved on as the video went. To me, it just added a bit of vintage vibe to your piece. Nothing could possibly steal the charm from it. :)

    Hi Chris! This is my first time commenting, but I've watched all your videos and love them. As a fellow artist, I can definitely relate and get where you're coming from. Many, many viewers have already said it -- this is a great idea, cute characters and wonderful visual storytelling in the series. Instead of giving up on this particular illustration, have you considered painting the scene again, but in watercolor? The transparency and luminosity of watercolor might help you acheive your lighting goals. And to make the scene feel more intimate, you might want to consider cropping the composition, zooming in on the characters and their expressions. If you flood the window with light, so we don't really see what's in the background, that might help too--no more distracting vertical lines right between the characters' eyes. The background doesn't help tell the story, so this composition could benefit from the "less is more" approach. LOVE the cat and the adorable characters--and I'm not even a cat person! Keep up the beautiful work. Can't wait to see what you create next!

    • @ChrisHongArt
      @ChrisHongArt  6 лет назад +3

      I have actually considered ALL those things you said LOL as I was fiddling around with it on photoshop (when I was trying to fix it to turn into a print) I did notice it looked better more zoomed in! I VERY RARELY paint the same thing twice, BUT I do feel like this one's such a missed opportunity so who knows, I may return to it one day, and it'd be a cool video maybe too down the line to show the difference XD thanks for your input and for watching! 💕😊

    but the little touches you put are so beautiful to me.

    It's really awesome and it's so well explained, I never really have the courage to go and make illustration because I feel like I lack a lot of aknowledge and you explained so well every choice you made. It's really pointy and really interesting.
    It's just so educative and yet it's super chill. Plus showing you preliminary research is the best thing you could ever do.
    Instead of just showing a nice pic and a speed paint you really made it easy to understand and to follow and so easy to synthesis the steps .
    Instead of just being "wow it's amazing, I would never be able to do that" you manage to turn this into
    "Wow it's amazing, and really complex, but yet I understand a bit of this complexicity and this light and shadow play, values play, and so I can really appreciate this piece and I know why it's so magic"
    I really love you, I m going to follow now and watch every single video, I love you

    Just as you said you were struggling with the gouche was when I noticed the patchiness under the table but in the end, it turned out well, it made the walls very painterly which suits the architecture of that era that the window is from ... at least in my opinion, lol.

    • @ChrisHongArt
      @ChrisHongArt  6 лет назад +1

  • @lenoralb
    @lenoralb 6 лет назад

    I think you like the crisp lines of an illustration and that's what was missing in this one. You usually do some sort of outline. Maybe not a complete outline just some sharp lines indicating where you would like the direction of the eye to go. Still, I love your style.

    I really adore, and am inspired by this piece. But I totally totally understand and respect how you feel. I deleted something off of my instagram I spent soo long to paint, despite me getting more likes on it than usual. It just didn’t meet my expectations, and wasn’t a reflection of my vision. And I feel so much better looking at my instagram. :’) However, this sometimes works if a piece doesn’t look right, just take it into some sort of app that gives it a filter, and that might help. I use Pixlromatic, myself. Usually just for bringing color-less sketches to life. I personally like the filters better than instagram ones.

  • @maymay2769

    I got to see an exhibit of Rockwell's collection of work a year or two ago, really neat stuff. Also, I think it's important to view your work objectively, if you feel there could've been better theres no reason you shouldn't feel that way- its your work haha! Plus if you think all the stuff you do is great all the time, how would you ever improve? I do think that this came out really lovely as always however. Love the highlight on the characters from the window.
