Usually people on youtube channels annoy me, but you genuinely seem like a real, nice, down to earth, cool person. You're doing good so far. Engaging, passionate and relaxed. I'm looking forward to your future videos. I've just started painting digitally, so I think you might be my sensei.

[@CLAYZO]

hey! i have ADHD and i normally find myself skimming and speeding up through every video i watch, but this was honestly the first time in a while that i've been able to watch a video back to back :) i love your personality, the way you describe your process, and what you can create, it's stunning. thank you for making this :)

[@ash7324]

It’s shame he’s stopped uploading, I’d love to see more videos of the process and his style is ace.

[@ideasalvapor]

OH BOY! The face behind the art! Had no idea the way you looked man, it´s great that u opened a channel with tutorials and talking about your processes, I am so charmed, you made this video feel like you were talking to close friends. Looking forward to the next ones! 💪🏼

[@MaxUlichney]

María Díaz H thanks so much María! That's the stuff I'm most nervous about honestly. So thanks for the support.

[@findjonmoses]

You have demonstrated to me that Procreate is not just some toy for doodling cartoons but you can do very organic art that doesn’t look digital. You have a calm/soothing approach to explaining what you are doing and I instantly like you as a person even though I don’t know you. I would love to see you demonstrate other genres of art like cubism and how you can create them specifically in Procreate. Keep up the great work

[@ellacatellani263]

i love this guy, so genuine

[@noraallsupgardnerart3190]

Thank you so much for your brush packs! I have had a rollercoaster of a year that began with major spine surgery last April that caused some nerve damage that still has not healed. The nerve damage makes sitting at my desk or easel a lot harder to do for long periods of time, so I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out how to most easily make art when my nerve pain acts up and I’m stuck in bed or a reclining chair. I’ve painted in traditional watercolors my whole life, and it’s a medium I really love working in, so when I went looking for more realistic watercolor brushes to use in procreate, yours were the first (and best!) that I found and bought. After trying them I bought a few more of your brush packs within the next few days and weeks and I love them all. They helped me get excited about doing art again after a artistically difficult year for me and I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the awesome brushes you make, and I really love them! I also loved seeing how you use them in this video! It’s great to see you on this channel and even if it’s out of your comfort zone, you did great and I hope you will continue to post more videos like this. Stay healthy!

[@MaxUlichney]

Nora Allsup Gardner Art This is the nicest comment I've gotten in a long time. Thank you so much. I hope you're feeling better by the day. I'm so impressed with your motivation to keep working and being creative despite hard circumstances. I've had health challenges in the past and it can be hard to stay productive. It means a lot to me to have been able to help in some small way. Stay strong 💪 💙

[@ayyytee]

Sending you good vibes Nora. I hope you are doing better after the surgery now :)

[@mussimike]

Just found your vid by accident, I think you have a very good way of communicating which makes your tutorials so fun to watch.

[@MohammedAgbadi]

MANNNN THIS SETUP IS CRAZYYYYYYY!!!

[@MaxUlichney]

Hey thanks Mohammed! I love your look for your videos. I learned from the best.

[@JamieLeeLivingston]

I know this video is 2 years old, but I just found it and downloaded the brushes. I’m a traditional watercolor artist and I’m really looking forward to trying digital.

[@xhanurax]

FINALLY! I've been holding my breath for you to make videos for so long! Especially tutorials on your watercolour Maxpack, I'd love to see more digital watercolour videos :) congratulations man

[@MaxUlichney]

Glad you like them! Thanks for waiting for me to get my act together. More to come.

[@SoulDigester]

I heard about these brushes from another artist! I am so glad these exist!

[@gbear768]

Well, now you have 132K followers on IG. I just found you and I"m really glad I did. All the posts seem to be almost a year old + so I hope you're still doing videos. One reason I am loving your videos is that you teach/comment/ discuss art in general and techniques that are basic as well as advanced that can be used in digital as well as physical art. I love to learn and you bring some very unique and gorgeous work to the table! Thank you, now I'm going to go buy your brushes.

[@cl0v3r1sh3r3]

This video was handled so well. The commentary was exactly what people want to hear from artists about their process. Even if every video was like this with a different character, I’d watch every one.

[@michellekennedy9190]

I was just listening to the Bancroft Brothers podcast and loved your episode. I am in LOVE with your outrageously wide range of talent and SO excited you have a youtube to teach. You're an art inspiration!

[@MaxUlichney]

Thanks for listening! Btw if you didn't know I just started a new podcast with my friends Nick Kole and James Castillo called Negative Space. So if you aren't too tired of listening to me ramble, there's more where that came from haha.

[@michellekennedy9190]

@@MaxUlichney Soaking up everything you have to say! Followed you on Spotify and cannot wait to listen!

[@DesireeDelgado]

I bought your watercolor and the painter packs yesterday, and OMG I'm sooo excited! I think this brushes are the best Procreate brushes I've ever seen!!!

[@MaxUlichney]

Glad you like them!

[@JoJo-ew9dz]

I’m currently binge watching your videos and I’m fascinated!

[@eldan_gd]

I have bought your watercolor brushes today. I wait expectantly your next videos.

[@gordonhardy8039]

Yaaaaaaaassss! Absolutely fantastic glimpse into your mind during a cafe sketch. Awesome seeing how you use the MaxPack Watercolor brushes. I’m SUPER amped to see even more content! 👍👍

[@MaxUlichney]

Thanks man. I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I'm trying to figure out a way to do cafe sketching from home for the sake of a video so people can see the model and compare that to the choices I'm making. I've gotta ponder on how to translate that for here, and maybe as a resource to allow people to follow along.

[@Ihavegumption]

Nice to see how you use the brushes. Looking forward to see what you create here.

[@MarkGalean]

I've just bought your watercolor brushes Max, and I'm delighted with them!!, you've made me sooo happy. And God knows we need happiness in these difficult times. I'm subscribed now and can't wait to see more from you, so talented and positive!!

[@MaxUlichney]

That makes me happy. Have fun!

[@weeshaakh]

This is freaking awesome. Want to see more.

Glad you're here. I'm really enjoying using your watercolors pack right now. I'm excited to see what you got coming down the pipeline.

[@rajasarkar4301]

These sketches are so full of character, Max almost plays jazz with his swift "on-the-go" lines. I admire your work. Thank you.

[@sascha446]

You’re simply awesome Max. I’ll be watching every video you release here!!

[@karenpeter4049]

We need longer videos /time lapse speed painting tutorials vlogs and everything!!i am so exited 😂♥️

[@MaxUlichney]

apple tree this piece wasn't intended to be my first but it turned out to be useful as an overall demo. I'll do some real time videos that I think you'll like. I have a setup to film my hands and iPad as I work even. The next few should be using that. Lots of fun things to come.

[@matilderamos4490]

I already love your channel, your energy is immaculate

[@JoeHoddinott]

YES!!! I appreciate seeing and hearing you narrate how you intended the brushes to be used. Love your brushes & work, bro.

"Your work is truly beautiful, and I really enjoy this video and drawing. Please create more of these. I especially love your set of Procreate brushes. Thank you so much for making these amazing collections.

[@hotmonkeyfilms]

YES! What a great tutorial! I was painting along and it took me forever to get through this 15 minutes because I kept rewinding to hear your knowledge. I learned so many thing, FINGER TOUCH SET TO SMUDGE?! The attributes of each MaxPack brush, smudge, and eraser. You have a great personality, and flow. High quality production, music and style. I can't wait to see more. Thanks for allowing me to paint in watercolor even when I don't feel like getting my water pot filled. Congratulations on all your success! You deserve it!

I didn't know it was your first video like this but I automatically felt a genuineness and honesty in that "hey guys thanks for coming" ❤️

So cool! Looking forward to future videos

[@viella90]

I really love how you explained why you did things and what things you chose to keep and what you chose to leave out. It gave me a lot of insight into deliberately choosing where to add detail and what not to overwork. I love the piece and I'm definitely going to get some of your brush packs!

[@MaxUlichney]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joncodyrobertson3102]

I really appreciate your humble attitude 😌

[@zainadeel]

I’m a huge fan! Please keep creating more content here. Also. Came from instagram. But this is a great platform for this kind of content.

[@dannydamara5305]

I really like this,, the way you paint and narrating it kinda soothing and pleasant to watch, plus its easy to understand the process not like most speed painting tutorial in KZbin keep creating man

[@DennerBob]

So glad I found this! I've got the watercolor Max Pack (your brushes were part of what persuaded me to go all in and get an iPad and Procreate) and I'm still trying to get comfortable with it. I wasn't searching for tutorials, but getting to see you do a cafe sketch was pretty perfect.

[@MaxUlichney]

I'm so glad!

[@Gypsygrl19]

Would you ever make a video like this where you also video tape your hands while you sketch and work? I find its helpful to me to see how artists hold their pencils and how to observe the movements they make while creating their art. I have tried hard to do hatching on procreate with pencils like your and it always comes out odd looking. I'm working if maybe I am holding my pencil oddly or maybe not giving enough pressure or putting too much pressure?

[@MaxUlichney]

Yeah it's a possibility. I like the idea

[@NapatsaranP]

I stumble upon your video and apart from watercolor technique, I like your hearty content. I like you talking about something personal. Feel like real people talking, feel warm. I'd love to see more of these type of video.

[@Apoostrophe]

Fascinating how many people I’ve seen use your watercolor pack so differently! I’ve been using it since that night it came out and have followed a couple other peoples tutorials on it too. It all always comes out so good.

[@MaxUlichney]

Apoostrophe thanks! Yeah there are so many ways to use these. This is a fairly "standard" way to use them in my opinion. Kind of a clean and simple classic look. But it's by no means authoritative or the only way to go. I'll show some weirder uses in the future I'm sure.

[@jamesa.castillo198]

DUDE! You are doing great! This was super interesting and is great to put a face to the art!

[@MaxUlichney]

James A. Castillo James! Thanks buddy. I'm glad to see you here. Instant subscription.

[@hannahstaytonart4975]

Thank you for making this video! I am relatively new to digital art and being a traditional watercolor and gouache artist I was looking for a way to bring the look of traditional media to digital art for book illustrations and animation. I discovered your brushes through another artist and had been toying with the idea of buying the watercolor pack and this video convinced me!

[@saioabik]

This is a beautiful piece. I would love to see a use of this watercolor brushes in real time and maybe with simpler forms to learn how to use them and to feel in more detail all the textures. Thanks for sharing all this inspiring info 🥰

[@MaxUlichney]

Great suggestion. I'll keep that in mind.

[@yusumchan1128]

It awesome!! Hope you can share more video to us!!🥳🥳🤩

[@gillian4425]

Thank you for making the MaxPacks brushes - they are a lot of fun!

[@SteveOlan]

Really enjoyed your video and I am loving the watercolor MaxPack. I am much more experience in traditional art media but am trying to explore the many possibilities with digital art. I like the discussion part at the end of the video and the idea of meeting people of similar interests, a community. Thanks for sharing. Hope to get to know you better.

[@glenda7921]

I was SO excited when this video popped into my feed. Your talent as an artist and your warmth as a genuine human is so refreshing here on YT. I then did a complete nosedive when I saw that the channel hasn’t grown at all, there has been little activity since this was published. I hope whatever is preventing you from continuing gets out of the way and you come back. 🇨🇦

DUDE - This tutorial is dope - you really captured watercolor!

[@suzannalasker7847]

Just discovered your art today and was so excited to see this video. Because of this endless quarantine, I have lots of time to just draw….And I do, constantly. I’ll look for the next podcast and buy the brushes today…

[@Genevieveluner]

I am so excited about your sharing! Hope there can be more tutorials and sharing ! Look forward to our best in the art path! Have purchased two types of your brushes! Keep it up Max! Fighting!!!👏👏👏

[@dustinheigh2642]

Was so pumped to see the link to this video on your instagram! Just watching and listening to your process is educating and inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and step out in this way. You’re doing an awesome job. Your honesty and vulnerability are extremely valuable. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you need to present yourself with perfection. It doesn’t exist and it isn’t relatable. This video was awesome, so well done. You’re building a wonderful community with sincerity and just being yourself. Well done. Cheering you on! Excited for the next one.

[@katiehicks8538]

I am also really excited to see that you are creating a KZbin account. I just recently bought 2 of your brush packs ( the Comic and Gouache) and i am in love with them so far. I have already went through it and picked out some favs and used them for some pieces, but i am still finding new favorites. This tutorial was awsome. And i would love to see more for some other MaxPacks. I think something that really sets 'brush creators' out from the rest is tutorials like this. Anyone can pick up a brush, and create, but sometimes there are certain methods to the brushes that one needs to do in order to achieve the look/feel it was intended for. Thank you for joining the KZbin art community! You have so much to offer, and i cant wait to learn!

[@muchonice]

Nice video. Thx for putting yourself out there. 👍🏻

[@herogear_art]

Just got an iPad, and did not know there was a way to do finger smudging! Thanks for the video, the brushes, and all you do for the art community.

am following you everywhere mate! you are doing super great and you so nice and funny you have that awesome spirit in you! I would totally love to meet you someday, keep doing what you doing you are great.

[@azmihanaazman5010]

Hi Max. Bought your MaxPacks last night and I am having fun playing with them. As someone new to digital art, I have to say that I am still adjusting to it and really hope there are more tutorials coming from you. Thanks 🥳

[@kellerswan53]

Hell yeah! So glade to see you here and start all your upcoming videos and projects ! Thank you for your incredible brushes Max! Can't wait to see more !

[@MeanwhileElsewhere]

Woah. I love that this video can function as a tutorial for both traditional watercolor painting and Procreate--I took away pointers for both mediums. Not to mention watercolor is my fav medium of choice. Thanks a lot dude!

[@kupocoffeeart7612]

Thanks for the introduction! The watercolor max pack is my first brush set for procreate!

[@ekalogray]

You are adorable! And your art is so gorgeous!

[@Sebbevds]

Hey Max, what a great first video there. Just wanted to say that you made me get back to drawing... my first love as a fan of animation, comics, mangas, and stuff. I find your art very mature et damn amazing. I bought your brushes the other day and trying to figure how to use theses powerful tools. My feedback: It would be amazing to see you drawing, like see your Pencil moving on the iPad you know. It would certainly help to understand your technique. Stay home, stay safe and keep going, you're doing great !!! From Belgium, with cool vibes.

[@MaxUlichney]

Sébastien Vandersteen thanks so much Sébastien! I'm so glad I could help you get back to drawing. And I'll absolutely be filming my hands and iPad. I have a great setup for it that I'll be using in the next videos.

[@NorahsYarnArt]

My digital paper buckled! Hehehe loved your watercolor brushes 😍

[@tripplejaz]

Max these brushes are INCREDIBLE! Wow! They look identical to traditional watercolor! And using traditional painting techniques with digital painting goes a long to nailing the look and feel of pencil on paper. Definitely thinking about purchasing these (have to consult the wife ;) ) Looking forward to the future of your growing channel.
