As much as it sucks, it's comforting to hear that you were also questioning if you wanted to continue pursuing art. I've felt that way recently and watching your videos have really helped me get back on track.
I COMPLETELY understand!! That’s why I believe it’s so important for us to share our struggles as artists. There are so many ebbs and flows we go through!
This idea of a workbook is simply amazing and you can mark my word, I will be your first client! This year I would like to use more gouache and your channel always inspires me so much. Thank you for all this amazing content and wish you the best luck with your objectives!
My goal is to paint and draw at least three times per week and learn french ( get to A2). I identify myself with your doubts about being an artist. There's is so much to learn, so little time, and one just can't draw 10h every day so..... Ufffff just a little ech week. Someday it will build, I have faith. Love you videos🎉🎉
Watching you mixing the colors is so cool. I would love to see it more.😍 My goals for this year are draw 5 whole artworks ( character and background) and practice with Gouache in my sketchbook .😃
I've been really struggling with burnout and not feeling good enough and I just wanted to say that this video truly helped me. AND! You inspired me to play with gouache which has kickstarted some creativity. I just wanted to say thank you for this, it's exactly what I needed to hear.
My goal is to take some art classes from world class artists. I’d like to have a small collection of art books too. If anyone has any suggestions for either, it’d be greatly appreciated!
Yessss, art classes are so fun!! I have a video on some of my favorite art books, if you're interested. 💛 Also, Schoolism has AMAZING art courses! I really love Robert Kondo and Dice Tsusumi's Color and Light Class. 💛
I discovered your channel lately and I was inspired by your 100 screencaps series so one od my goals is to fill a sketchbook with studies of my favorite/inspirational artists.
I’m interested to see your process of how do you get your paintings ready for print, like a detailed one. Would that be a video you would consider doing?😊 Beautiful painting as always!
Ooo prepping artwork for prints is definitely a fun topic!! I don't know that I'd be able to make a full-length video about it (my process isn't super detailed 😅), but I might be able to make a short video on it!
@@allisonaletha it is very interesting to see different peoples processes. I tried editing a scan of an artwork once and I spent more time on that (and didn’t even finish) than what I did on the actual artwork. So I would be interested to hear if you have any tips and tricks on that, but also your thoughts on paper texture that shows up in the scan. What do you choose to edit out and what do you keep etc etc. I have watched a few videos on the topic but I’m always left with questions 😅
I really enjoy watching you paint both bigger and smaller illustrations. I always feel inspired after that 😍 As of goals, this year I just continue what I’ve started last year. So I’m working on Alphabet Superset Challenge - 26 animal illustrations, I’m on N right now. And I want to complete my landscapes sketchbook, as I’m in the middle of it. There will be some art books and art courses and a lot of learning, but I want to choose topics as I go instead of planning it right now. I’ll just do what I can, one step at a time. The most important thing for me is to just keep going. And besides art, I’ve just bought a book on Turkish grammar and I’d like to study from it this year. I don’t need Turkish at all but it brings me so much joy that I learn it as a hobby. And I can get a free cookie in Turkish bakery from time to time 😂
Thank you so much! Your Animal Alphabet challenge sounds AMAZING! What animal have you chosen for N? I love that you're so willing to go with the flow of your creativity! So many artists (myself included) can get very rigid about their art practices instead of simply learning what they find interesting and seeing where it takes them. Also, best of luck with learning Turkish! That's such a fun goal! 💛
@@allisonaletha Thanks! For N I’ve chosen nutria. I paint all of the animals in black and white to get better at values, but I use colourful paper to keep things interesting 😄 I used to be very strict but last year I noticed it didn’t serve me that well, and that I can grow more if I just follow my curiosity more often and set a direction instead of a strict roadmap
My goal is to learn the basics of gouache. And keep getting inspired by your video's and video's from ruth wilshaw. The artist you like too.😊 Thanks again for this new video. I learn a lot again from them
That's an awesome goal!! I'm so glad my videos have been helpful for you. 💛 Ruth Wilshaw is such an amazing gouache artist! Her illustrations are so magical!
I really enjoyed this video! Your editing skills are improving so much, I’m so proud 🥹 My top goal for this year is to finish my series of Narnia illustrations. I started that in 2020, it’s been way too long 😂

Those are AMAZING goals!! Best of luck to you!! 💛
my goals are honestly to keep doing art because it is one of the best things for my mental health, as well as balancing that with high school
Yessss!! Creatives truly need to create. It can be hard work, but it's so good for us. 💛
My goal is inspired by your 20 illustrations challenge. I am aiming to create an original illustration each month this year from my imagination.❤
Wow, that's AMAZING!! 💛

i have no goals for the year really. just draw more, but i try to do that every year (and sometimes fail and hardly draw anything lol)
Nothing wrong with not having a goal in mind! 💛
My goal is to learn the basics of gouache. And keep getting inspired by your video's and video's from ruth wilshaw. The artist you like too.😊

I looove your work omg, can you please do some tutorial of how you draw your characters ? ❤
I really enjoyed this video! Your editing skills are improving so much, I’m so proud 🥹

Ahh thank you so much, Lauren! I LOVE your Narnia illustrations 💛💛💛
@@allisonaletha aawww thanks! I’m looking forward to working on them again 🩵

Thank you!!
I painted winnie the pooh on my niece wall 😀
Ooohhh that's so fun!! 💛
I want to know how to speak on camera, apparently I have camera paralysis
Oooof that's definitely one of my biggest struggles too! Truthfully, it's a LOT of practice over and over again 💛
