    Oh why do I find doing thumbnails so frustrating? But I love checking out other artists thumbnail sketches. It is seeing a piece of their artistic brain!🧠 My brain just feels like 😵‍💫when I think about doing them. Who else’s brain is on this struggle bus?

      I'm definitely there with you! Especially when I need to do like a hundred of them just for one painting. Sometimes it really feels like torture! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist

    Thank you so much for your reminder about thumb nail sketches. They are essential in evaluating negative and positive shapes as well as boarder connections with the subjective matter, I am at the moment grappling with water colour and techniques, finding it so hard to not move into mixed media to get what I want, does me in working light to dark! You are so right about other tutorials not showing their thumb nail sketches, I am not an outdoor artist, but would imagine they would surely do some? Loved your demonstration,❤

      I find recently that having a tonal thumbnail sketch is super helpful when working light to dark or trying to figure out how to balance a composition. Not every professional does thumbnails or even needs to, but it's very helpful for most people I think! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist

    Your livestreams are always so timely for me it's crazy! I needed to see this this week. I'm working on a BIG canvas and have been struggling with the composition for days and somehow I just forgot that thumbnails are a tool I can use! I didn't know there was real technique involved since I never properly learned about them. It's like I've been given a missing piece to a puzzle. Thank you so much!

    I definitely struggle with knowing how much detail to include in a thumbnail. But Art Prof has definitely helped me to do better. I didn't even know what thumbnails were before Art Prof.

    On #2, not only do I draw the borders, I do them to the same proportions as the canvas will be.

    • @artprof
      @artprof  Год назад

      That's really smart!! I overlook that detail and it's definitely messed me up a few times... - Mia, Art Prof Staff

    Your commission piece is soo good whoa! Makes me wanna get into acrylic inks…the thing with thumbnail sketches is that I love them too much😂. I‘m into sketching big time anyways and I‘ll personally almost always will take a good sketch( so dynamic if made well and relatively quick) over a finished painting (feels static to me most of the time) which leads to me not being good at drawing/ painting details but I‘m not even sure if I really need that process for my personal style🤔

    • @artprof
      @artprof  10 месяцев назад +1

      I completely relate to that!! There's something about a sketch that's spontaneous and unpredictable, and when I try and turn it into a "fully realized" piece that part of it always ends up ruined. My journey at the moment is to try and keep that sketchy-feel! - Mia, Art Prof Staff

    guilty of not using thumbnails here lmao. But whenever I do stuff always comes out better so i'm trying to grow the habit

      Thumbnail planning always makes things easier in the long run! It feels weird to start out that way sometimes though :/ - Mia, Art Prof Staff

    Guilty of not using thumbnails, and then drawing a box around a drawing to call it a thumbnail. At that point I don't wanna make a final piece because I spent so much time rendering the "thumbnail"
    Thank you for this!
