A thumbs down or thumbs down can mean a great many things; unfortunately KZbin only gives 2 options, nothing neutral. I have no idea why this video got a thumbs down; neither do you. Assuming a thumbs down is a total rejection of the artist and their work is a bit extreme and juvenile. For myself, the subject matter is not to my taste; however, that does not negate his skill or the lovely way he uses materials. I cannot express that in a thumbs up or down. All I can do is watch the video start to finish and smile.

Have you ever heard of something called a Bullet Journal? It was originally thought up by Ryder Carroll and a lot of people use it to wind down and write out a to-do list and even just dump ideas into. Some people even use it to express their creative side. You could use it with your app as well so you still hear that satisfying sound, writing it down on paper just seems to make it easier to remember and being able to look at a page full of ideas might allow one to jump out at you. Also, amazing art as always!

I think as far as the prints of your artwork go, I think it would be more lucrative for you to make those available to all your viewers so that everyone who truly loves your work can purchase them. As for your Patreon members, you could offer an upper tier where the member receives a larger version of a print that what is available for the non Patreon viewers. And, as an added bonus of being in an upper echelon, that Patreon member can choose from a particular theme (e.g. Dragons, Fanart, Fantasy, Inktober, etc.)

The art boxes are fun. I hope you find one you like. I think the story you had started with the red-caped traveler would be a great personal project for you.

He was my desk pal, my snuggle buddy, and my best bud. I understand where you're coming from. I know it's only been a day, but I'm missing him being here by my side so very much.

Lovely video Chris, it's always a pleasure listening to your voiceovers. Can't wait to see your work with figure drawings. With regards to putting pressure on yourself to upload completed/polished works of art all the time ... there was something I wanted to share with you that stuck with me since I created my KZbin channel. Someone told me to "document" instead of "create" - think of this youtube channel and your videos not as a finished polished product, but as a video diary, as a way to video record and document your progress. Documenting your trials and errors, your new endeavours, your experiments. A lot of social media is so hyper focused on perfection, instead of the actual blood and sweat behind it, so this advice rang so true for me. I hope it can resonate with you as well. Looking forward to more of your videos! Love from South Africa! 💫

But we already had a new puppy at the same time and our dog Piper, she was like a mum to the puppy. After Piper passed away the three of us all had to be there for each other now that our goofy fluffy centre had been taken away. My partner and I continue to be sad and every now and then we let each other know and share a memory or give our puppy an extra big hug. But all in all we’re doing well. My art goals is to finish a book that I started last year. I think I’m down to the last 30 pages.
