This video is so inspiring and as a designer myself I have been considering producing similar videos myself. But kind of lacked the drive to do it. Really appreciate your wonderful design work and the way you work.😊

[@paulzana]

I appreciate you Terence, and I say you should start putting out those amazing ideas. Quick one: what’s your thin design?

[@terencegibbins3894]

@@paulzana Not quite sure what you mean by "thin design".😲 I just sketch out ideas in pencil or natural media of various kinds, then scan them into my computer and work the ideas up into finished artwork using either Freehand or Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop depending on the effect I want. I have twitter account which has a lot of examples of my work. More recently I have been exploring 3D artwork and rendering using the free 3D application called Blender.😊 Anyway I appreciate your reply and I'll keep watching your brilliant videos here on KZbin. I'm also experimenting with animation. Can see some examples on my KZbin channel. Cheers for now.😊

[@paulzana]

My bad for the lag in response... Good to meet you pearl. Share with me your twitter would love to follow some your visuals!

[@paulzana]

Plus... I admire you doing more than one thing! Its safer that way.
