How I Found My Art Style

[@TheFirstTriplefife]

Oh man! I remember those X men cards. In fact I still have some. Great art and all the cool info on the back made owning them a treat.

Hey JP, it’s funny I came across this video after I had this discussion with my wife. This video was very inspirational to me as I’ve always tried to emulate the style of the monsters and characters that I see in the 5e range of books. And it bums me that I can’t do. But your made me realize that my style is my style and I should be honored to have it. Thanks mate for this really appreciate it. 👍🏻

[@SatoriGraphics]

great video and nice concept :) you also reminded me or shall I say brought to my attention how inspiration and things we are fond of are taken for granted these days. I remember pouring over some album artwork for days and drawing inspiration from that for a while.

[@WoogietheWoogie]

A fantastic journey! Thanks for sharing!

[@ripstur]

this is very insightful, finding your art style is a struggle.. you think you have found it then you find a new path that influences you. This is what makes art fantastic. loved the video!

[@CartoonDaily1]

Absolutely love the art style!!! Also, just subscribed to you!!!

[@crafti.louisecreates6824]

Thanks for the encouragement.

[@Adrian.adrian24]

Great video! Thank you, it served as motivation!

[@damino199]

Awesom video. Thank you 🦄🦄🦄

[@XxJGSK8RxX]

I've been following you for awhile, and John Porcellino visited my university two years back for a talk and I fell in love with his work!!! Rad video.

[@rangereric18]

Thank you for sharing this! Great video and very inspirational.

So a few months ago i was struggling to figure out where i wanted to go with art but i knew i wanted to do art. I stumbled across this video after waching some of the Revive videos and I have to say this changed things for me. I started spending time aurounding my self with work that inspiers me like yours. I've started reading comics and even started my own! I know you probably won't see this but i just wanted to say thanks for this video and what you do! p.s. the new revive summer line is awsome! some of your best decks yet!

[@JPCoovert]

Thanks so much! Love comments like this. Keep on exploring your art, and just know that everyone goes through ups and downs.

[@tylrbass]

Keep it up JP!

[@blam_art581]

You're such a huge inspiration

[@heythereghosts]

Hey JP! I'm tabling at SPX for the first time this year, I'm nervous as heck - any wise words for a new exhibitor? I appreciate all your videos - I think it's cool that how you speak of those influential for yourself is how I feel about your work and my style. Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait to get this year's Simple Routines!

[@JPCoovert]

slimejello awesome! Congrats! Definitely mock up your table before you go. Figure out what space you have and how you are gonna display your books. Make/bring extra copies to trade or give away. Trading is less of a thing these days, but it's still a great way to meet people and get your comics in front of artists you dig. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Chances are you won't make your money back (printing, travel, and table fees.) Its more about getting yourself out there and connecting with readers and other artists.

[@jazminebaguinon9464]

WOW!!! Now I'm inspired to draw and I'm not even good at drawing

[@morpheium203]

This was very informative tbh yours is one of the best styles I know I love everything about your drawings these kinds have always impressed me and I never knew an artist that does it then I found you! Very very awesome! Love this kind of a video too quite helpful thanks JP! :D

[@jackatkerr7919]

I love your video's

[@cheenythegreat]

This is really inspiring. Keep it up JP =)

[@MACH_SDQ]

Gooooood

[@kaselier1116]

Why are you so inspirational >.>

[@mmazz414]

This was so helpful JP... You are such an awesome dude, thanks for the inspiration and motivation!! Also, what kinds of markers/pens are you using when you sketch!?

[@JPCoovert]

Mostly work in Photoshop with a Cintiq. For Simple Routines I use Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens, size F. Also like to mess around with brush pens, but that rarely shows up in finished work.

[@DOS1152]

Hey man would you ever make a video on what you studied in school or collage to say how you got the job you have now?

[@JPCoovert]

Dave Tobey good idea! I'll definitely do something about art school at some point. I have lots of thoughts on it. Also planning a "draw my life" video as well.

[@braydonrogers5846]

Hey jp just subscribed and you are really inspiring me to draw and create deck designs and what is a good cheap drawing tablet

[@miguelcamilo]

s/o to my boy Cole Roberts! nice! cool vid, man. if anyone cared about my style maybe i'd do one of these :) also, Arc Dogs looks fantastic.

[@JPCoovert]

Cole's the best! I tend to work under the assumption that no one really cares, but it's a fun thing to think about and make real. Maybe someone will find it interesting and helpful!

[@skatergamer9631]

Can u do another board with a unique graphic and make it a give away please

[@JPCoovert]

SKATERGAMER9 yeah! Thinking about doing another giveaway at 10k followers

[@skatergamer9631]

JP Coovert cool thanks for responding

[@carodoodlesandsigns]

Hey! I'm wondering if it is possible to add closed captioning for us deaf/hard of hearing artists? There is auto-generated captioning but I am not sure how accurate it is. Thanks!

[@JPCoovert]

carodoodles I will look into this Caro!

[@bernie2146]

do you like digital art better then pen and paper or do you like pen and paper more?

[@skatergamer9631]

How old were u when u started drawing?

[@JPCoovert]

SKATERGAMER9 as long as I can remember. Was serious around 10 and then really serious later in high school.

[@quinnshoreman9180]

what happened on October 4th, 2005?

[@yamasultani8481]

I am curious what grad school you attended and what degree you recieved

[@JPCoovert]

Yama Sultani I went to the Center for Cartoon Studies and received a Masters in Cartooning.

[@yamasultani8481]

Wow that's awesome

[@nissinsobaw3074]

Jp i haven't find my artstyle yet is that ok?

[@JPCoovert]

Millo Op de Beeck watch the video :P it's totally fine not having an art style yet. It took me a long time to start feeling comfortable in the way I draw.

[@skylarreed4072]

Do a draw my life

[@papambye9293]

Hey JP. do you have an email? I'm a young MN illustrator and would love to talk to you man. I love your work and feel like I could learn a lot from you.
