Never stop teaching Bobby!

[@xiliuv]

I appreciate these videos a lot. You talk about stuff that is not easily found in YT, and that, for self-taught artists like me, is priceless. You also look like an extremely kind and good person, thank you very much. Hugs from Mexico!

[@BobbyChiu]

Thanks so much for your kind comment and we're so glad to hear that Bobby's channel has been helpful to you and full of useful tips and advice😊 Thanks for watching! ~S

Hi Bobby A couple of workarounds if you want a thumbnail view and you're on a mac: 1. Make a new window for your document and choose a 2-up arrangement 2. Open the Navigator and use that Maybe not ideal but works in a pinch :)

[@TangerineChant]

I have been following your videos since 2016 and I have learned so much from your schoolism course. It has been such a great resource for inspiration and understanding how to deal with art block or challenging obstacles with other artists you've interviewed with. I'm grateful for your content and hope you have a great rest of your year!

[@njavart4943]

You can create a navigator window and integrate it with your other tools windows on photoshop. It should stay even on mac

[@floatingFran]

@@BobbyChiu oh i thought it was only for people participating in an event! I'll totally join in! Thank you 🖤

[@Anpelot]

thanks for the information, this is very useful

[@aleenatj5360]

Thankyou for using Photoshop! I see so much Procreate, but since i use photoshop it feels a little alien to see the process in other software

[@BobbyChiu]

Totally understandable! Procreate is extremely popular these days so it's nice to hear that seeing Bobby work in Photoshop was helpful to you😊 Thanks for watching! ~S

[@rietzhu]

Slime is, kinda fun. Wish you didn't end with that commercial/advertisement tho, felt kinda cold xd.

[@BobbyChiu]

having an ad about my school in there helps me to justify making more free videos. I appreciate your comment tho

[@onjikun]

1:45 - I'm surprised no iPad app (Fresco, Procreate, CSP, etc.) hasn't considered including a "Mini Canvas" feature like this, where you can see a real-time zoomed-out view of your artwork as you're working on the fine details, like Bobby is doing here. Or even a "Mini Canvas" plugin for Photoshop, so Mac users like me can have this same functionality without having to switch to Windows. But then again, one of these apps probably does have a feature like this (I'm not that familiar with CSP, to be honest), and I'm just not aware of it. 😅

[@indigo1180]

CSP iPad has the option! It is pretty much the same as desktop CSP. Although the default interface is not optimized/changed for iPad. You can customize/edit it yourself but some people dont want to bother figuring out everything/don’t like how it’s not simplified like Procreate, which is reasonable, the iPad screen is only so big. Personally it doesn’t bother me, but yeah!
