You should really consider making a coloring book! But on watercolor paper. Even your line-art is just so clean and beautiful, and I feel like it would give people a really fun way to improve their own art!

[@kelogsloops]

I would LOOOOOVE to make this!!

[@sheaneal290]

Oh my gosh, thank you for replying!🥰

[@PS5Diaries]

@@kelogsloops oh wow yes!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jtiem]

I agree, this is a huge untapped market. I am currently learning how to paint and these "coloring books" would be super helpful for people like me to learn from.

NO- I HAVE A CLASS RN. ILL WATCH THIS AS SOON AS ITS FINISHED, I’ll update this comment 😵‍💫😵‍💫 (Edit) So- it’s been over a week since I’ve written this comment and I apologise for not watching it yet but I am incredibly busy with uni stuff rn ( art school ) and I have a deadline that’s coming up so idk when I’ll have the time to focus on this video but I swear I’ll get round to doing it 😭!!! Sorry ( edit #2, 27/11/22 ) I’ve finally watched the video and OMG does this make me even more inspired to continue my art journey !! It’s so cool seeing the behind the scenes of an artists career that’s not just the making of the art itself. Beautifully recorded and edited too which I’d say is an art form itself ahaha,,, I don’t think I’ll ever find an artist that inspires me more than Hieu himself :p

[@zohebzuberi1028]

Dude!! I had no idea how much work goes into each of these amazing prints of yours. Incredible work ❤️🙌

[@wisdomfox857]

Wtf are talking about its not alot of work would hardly call these prints there more like poster's

[@ArtistGoneWild]

You’re so lucky to have a kind printing shop in your area. I live in a small mountain town that only has one print shop and they were very unfriendly and resistant to spending the necessary time to get a final revision. They basically just wanted me out the door as quickly as possible.

[@mrs.quills7061]

I have the same issue, it’s why I bought my own printer there’s not much around here and when I’ve outsourced even if I edit the colors, they come out too dark and the printer doesn’t care.

[@kelogsloops]

When I first started making prints, there were only two print studios in my city that I could find, so I definitely feel lucky that one of them ended up being the awesome people that they are!

[@Sean-zr7vs]

You gotta weed through the print shops that are not owned by actual artists. I've been working in printshops for years both digital and screen print. Bad shop owners are like the plague. They want to turn a dollar pressing buttons, but most don't know anything about art.

[@jiojiart]

Whoa the gold foil edition with matte gold embellishments is so cool I didn’t know that’s how you get your gold leaf on all your reprints. Thnx for making this video there’s a lot of how to art videos out there but I feel like no one really talks about the steps in the printing process ❤

[@kelogsloops]

It's definitely a very unique and strangely quiet process! It's taken me years to learn about it all from when I first started out, and even after all those years I still feel like I am learning more each time.

[@jiojiart]

@@kelogsloops thanks for that its nice to know there isn't a line between learning and pro its all just a process :)

[@sammybandi8003]

idk why but the opening scared me with the absence of "gooood morning, good morning"

[@isnethgalindo3267]

A cool idea would be to release an art book with the creative process of the prints. Probably not add all of them but it to show the progress of the work and for it to for sure include the first print and the final print 👌🏼

[@F.M.H-z8s]

I felt so proud watching this while one of your art prints is actually in front of me hanged! . And I feel like another one will join soon 😉

[@kurisu.997]

I fell in love working with gold foils in my watercolor paintings because of your works and your process. Thank you so much, Hieu, for sharing your talent to the world!

[@thattheresagirl]

These look so, so good! The prices are absolutely justified for this quality. Thank you for walking us through this process. I always struggle with taking good photos of my art, so seeing how much work you put into is kinda reassuring. Just a note, I think there is a small price mix up on your store page. For the "For a little while longer" print, the gold and open editions are switched I think.

[@kelogsloops]

I struggled with it SO much at the start! But with anything, it's a process that takes patience and dedication to learn and get better at over time! I still feel like I'm learning more and more about photographing artworks, but it's kinda fun!

[@cocoplayax]

I’ve always been curious about the process of making prints! Thank you for this very helpful insight. I didn’t know how much work that goes into the print making process. The end product is killer!!

[@kelogsloops]

thank you so much, it means a lot to hear that kind of feedback, all that effort and time paid off!😄

[@softandcosy]

the flow and composition in your work is just 😭😭💗💗💗💗

[@ChantelleArts]

Wow! This is such a long process that you go through to make them perfect, it really shows for that end result 😍

[@Skunkforge]

I had no idea it was this involved to make prints, but the quality by the end looks so worth it!

[@kelogsloops]

I'm glad you think so! It definitely is a lengthy process that can take months to prepare, just for a single print! But it pays off and we arrive with something I'm proud of putting out there into the world

[@nadiaNEGS]

How satisfying it is to see this process. By the way, I love your paintings: the compositions and colors are beautiful and I love that you don’t leave them aside when doing so many tests. Greetings from Mexico 😄

[@Twentynyne]

good morning, I am doing good, I love that you are showing this process.

[@mithudhali_]

This man just puts so much effort for the best way possible for the prints not in that shortcut way to just finish of the printing and all. It was so satisfying to watch.

[@hayleyforesman52]

Are you okay you haven’t posted in a while

[@kristinapaxton9686]

I did textile print at uni. One way I found really useful is swatch your colours on the print. So take a slice of your design all the way through and print on your home printer. That way you are less likely to have expensive surprises at the print store. You don't have to do it for every piece but it's really useful if you decide to print on more expensive materials metal, wood or fabric.

[@aysouday]

I'm in love with the gold foiling? I didn't quite catch the name but the gold prints look amazing

[@furiaaa3]

My day brightens up when i see you smile. A sensational end result. You must admit that it is a very long way from the presentation to the final execution of the painting for sale!

[@linarie_raw]

Is this ff13 music playing in the background? Ahhh the memories!!!

[@TomaszMro]

Loved watching this process Hieu! So fascinating to see how the prints come to be, so much dedication and attention to detail ❤ I'd love to know what camera and lens you ended up getting, I'm actually searching to get one to photograph my art.

[@kelogsloops]

thanks so much tomasz! after a whole year of thinking about it, i finally bit the bullet and got a Canon R5C along with a 35-70mm lens. jumped straight into the deep end, but i figured it would be a lifelong investment!

[@eMavern_Emporium]

This was so so informative! I had no idea what actually went into it. I thought you just scanned and printed it at home to send out 😂

[@CozzaScobbz]

Bruhhhh this was literally the most satisfying video ive ever seen in my life! I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for this video! After receiving so many of your prints over the years, it's so mesmerising to finally see how each piece is created! You truly never disappoint Hieu! As always, I'll be first in the queue on release day! Can't wait to buy these! *chefs kiss*😘👌

[@kelogsloops]

thank you as ALWAYS coral! i hope you enjoyed the insight into the process of it all!

[@elys9650]

and when i tought you couldn't be cooler, BOOM, i found out you put on Taylor's music to match your vibe, like WHAAAATTTTT???????? What is your fave track on midnights??? i'm curious now lol Ps it's so nice to see how dedicated you are to what you love doing 🥺 i hope you never lose this thing! (even tho i gotta admit i'm kinda jealous cause i haven't found yet a passion to dedicate myself to ☠😂)

[@clarittyclar]

Thank you for this video! It's so nice to watch and understand a professional artist's process! I will be referring to this video in future if I ever do prints too! 🙈

[@Mijuki]

Your print shop is so awesome, you should count yourself lucky! The one i have is very unkind, and i can't even visit them, since they don't open for customers, they only send out prints via mail, so you only see your test prints after it arrives, while having to pay for the shipping as well...

[@chrisxishida]

great video thank you for putting it out there brother =)

The way you say " make some pretty stuff " 👀👀👀👀 MAANNNNN !!!! that's not just " pretty stuff" 💀💀 Your art is literally precious and wonderful ♥️♥️♥️ Always be my inspiration and I'm learning more than ever by watching you buddy 🤞🏻♥️ Great man with great he(art) ❤️ Ps. Hope I'll meet you soon 😗

Use a holographic hot foil, it would be stunning…..!!! 👍

[@silverlining_1995]

Please please post more 🙏🏻 more business info for beginners too would be great. This video was brilliant. Can you share different methods you use ? Also if it’s scanned in, could I turn anything into bookmarks or stickers and whatnot? Probably … but what editor do you use too? Things like that would also be helpful. Please post more art and business videos 🙏🏻 trying to figure out how to turn my art into a business too… by the way, so beautiful 💜 will order your prints soon if still available!!😊

These are dope. It's great watching the process, I'm so stressed that once I start making prints of my own I will mess up or not know what to do at all 😭. It gives me a lot of courage 😅. Also, I am amazed by your energy, you just give off such a great vibe!

[@BrentonParry]

Just discovered you tonight. Great work! I'm a photographer who struggles to sell prints. I'm curious to know how much this process typically costs you to do all the tests etc. Keep up the beautiful work.

AHHHHH!!!! I'm so friggin happy to see this video :D I do wish it was last week as I had a ripe time making prints... yours are... Perfection!! Thanks for the information and for your beautiful artwork!!

Hey Bro, Awesome art. Could you kindly share with us how much the printing, & gold coating cost ?

[@openyoureyes4799]

Why do you remove your signature?

[@shineefeels]

Amazing! I don’t know why I assumed the printing & foiling would be done at the same place but it makes a lot of sense that two different companies would handle it. The attention to detail is beautiful! Thanks for showing the process! 🥰

[@sadepennbrook]

Printing and foiling can be done in the same place. It depends on the capabilities of the printer. The problem is that do-it-all printers usually up-charge more for things dedicated printers do better because dedicated printers are more adapted and efficient with their machinery to that specific skill- therefore, bringing down cost.

[@kelogsloops]

i'd honestly never knew foiling processes existed two years ago! it was particularly tricky to find a process that flowed, as these two companies had never interacted before! but i think we've finally found our groove. also because they're both separate specialists in their respective fields, i feel super confident in the product we make!

[@artbylouris]

Ah I feel so happy watching this video! My favorite is when you showed them to your friends! ❤️❤️❤️

[@xristinarose2409]

Glad you made this video. At first i didnt want the print because i dont like the crappy mass production with bad quality and fast fading colours, def not for that price, but when i saw that it is actually well made etc, im gonna save up for it

[@kelogsloops]

they definitely don't fade! they're giclee prints, which is an archival grade & quality printing process 😀 the printers specialise in this printing process and share a bit more about it on their website!

[@bridgethermann3156]

Guys he didn't say "Good morning good morning"- nooooo! Sometimes I'll just say that and immediately think of Kelogsloops!

LOVE YOUR WORK i bought the mtg secret lair with your art

[@Andres66Cali]

Happy Trails to You!

[@jesstolley7193]

Haha your roommates seem like total sweethearts :) I have a print of A Moment to Rest with the gold foil. For anyone wondering if it's worth it... IT IS! I cannot gush enough about the quality and beauty of these prints. The paper, the details, the colors, they all feel like an original, not a print. You really can see the care put into every step of the process.

[@kelogsloops]

that means so much to hear jess!! i'm so glad to know that you've enjoyed the gold foiling prints!

[@GentleFD25]

wow it's so inspiring and incredible to see how much work and effort you and your team puts into your prints! They turned out so beautiful, especially with the gold foil! I usually just send my print files off to my local print shop then grab the first versions they give me LMAO but I learned so much from this, will def take more effort into my future prints aha

[@edwinaquintero6700]

[@kestiameshad]

This is so amazing to watch! I find the behind the scenes process so fascinating - thank you for sharing! I really hope you sell these babies out - they're amazeballs. Also I saw a comment below about having such a kind and generous printer who's willing to work with you until your revisions are perfect and I agree. These printers are gems and so rare, and such wonderful folks.

[@kelogsloops]

they truly are the most patient and generous people! i'm surprised they've put up with me all this time and still let me work with them!

[@erickadraws]

I've always wanted to know how to do prints!! Thank youu this is really helpful! By the way the cuts and edits are so clean!!🔥🔥

[@amandaschmidt6977]

I am following you for years. I must say, as a graphic designer and artist, you work very professionally and really want to get the best results. a lot of artists out there selling prints, do not go through such a big quality path. I hope I can find such good printing partners in the future

[@turyboy]

Amazing journey, really loved it. I enjoy so much watching people so excited and full of joy when they got to see your art print. Marvelous experiencia.

[@chantalleonhardt]

Omg you’re literally a legend!! Answered all my questions 🙏 I always wanted to know how to get rid of the watercolour paper texture when making a print!! (I need a better camera lol)

[@kelogsloops]

There's definitely ways to get rid of texture through digital editting! But if anything, I find scanning removes texture as it applies light in all directions, removing the shadows caused by the texture. Photographing my works maintains the texture (which is why i like it!)

[@theDobby]

This is insane! They look SO GOOD!! :D The prints turned out amazing, and the companies are so kind. They are really excited about your work!

[@Itsme_Sync]

There's one more week until I'm over with my high-school . Although I wanted to continue to a art school , I can't because my mother disagreed . This is where I shall abuse my savings and decided to buy watercolour paper available (300 GMS) and watercolour painting (Dolphin?) . I've always been fascinated by Kalegsloop's art and I have started trying to learn them to make my own . This has became one of my inspirations and reasons to hold a brush ... Anyways , thank you for reading ... I wish I could rebel my parents for my dreams but at the same time , I am scared that I'm not good enough . Hope everyone else got the chances given . I love your arts!!💜 I want these but I wanted to try do make my own first , wish me luck!!

[@RebelMystic9]

So if you didn't use gold leaf would you use Print-on-Demand? Or have you just fallen in love with this physical process after all these years?

[@flairelala]

you really are my inspiration in terms of watercolor painting 😭😭 everything looks so beautiful 💚

[@riven5]

What if you create these works directly in digital paint? that is, draw and color them with the computer?

You are an amazingly talented artist and oh so patient to go through that printing process. Question: so do you print out your print sizes in standard sizes or custom sizes? I'm struggling with this with my own prints. I guess my question is, is it okay to offer prints in custom sizes?

[@cfrydlewicz]

Does "Sold Out" on your prints store for the not-yet-released ones mean "Not yet available" ? Or did I already miss my chance? 😢

[@suzi-ml8ep]

what print gsm paper and paper type do you use for the prints? How do you learn how to adjust to exactly what you want? do you have a tutorial... ? or recommended resources... also do you get charged for all the test prints you do? Does gold rolling available for small batches? or have to print in bulk ?

[@kquinta3]

I am rewatching this video and just realized that the song is the Besaid theme from FFX!!

[@anomalimatter]

amazing man apreciate your hardwork may i ask of your print ? what kind papper your print ?

[@oogalaboo]

Gold foil makes my magpie brain happy

[@joergsonnenberger6836]

I wonder why you don't scan the image twice, once before you apply the gold and once afterwards? The difference should give you a mask for where you used gold to adjust it in post-processing and maybe even use it as special color. Related question, have you calibrated your camera properly to get a proper color profile for it? That should reduce the amount of surprises in print.

[@myc.alamban]

Thank you for showing us this process. Just curious, what command in Photoshop do you use when removing the gold parts without ruining the painting? 🙂

[@sewageratatata]

You sound like Bang Chan from Stray Kids.

[@HexHogs]

I've had quite a few people ask me if I sell prints of one of my artworks and I'm trying to learn how to do it, still don't quite get how the process of adding golden foil works though lol. Seems like on a small scale it might be easier (and maybe cheaper too) to just add it manually?

[@adriasc79]

Ok, I love your art, nevertheless, the characters are , just on my opinion, too stiff, I may agree that he is strong and has to stand out in front of her, but she is to rigid on her body, her neck , her head , .. it feels she is away from him , and lacks emotion. I comment because I really like the art and lines and light. :)

[@Nerdflipper]

First of all really, so you take the file to the printer. O.K., for those who do not a printer in their town or city but do have a Walmart you can just order matte printed photos from them same quality, cheaper price. - peace

Glad you made this video. At first i didnt want the print because i dont like the crappy mass production with bad quality and fast fading colours, def not for that price, but when i saw that it is actually well made etc, im gonna save up for it

[@19kickboxer68]

Why don't you profile your tablet screen. Use a spectrophotometer to colour correct the screen then get the paper colour profiles from the printer, load into yor software and you can accurately profile your prints first time. You may find that your tablet screen does not cover the full spectrum of the colour space so it may be worth investing in a monitor that has good profiling capabilities such as an Eizo or NEC. I used to print for artists and photographers.

[@carldormand9543]

Do you think you’ll try a different medium at some point, such as oils?
