You know, it's strange. I stopped watching art youtube a few years ago but I still get your portrait day video in my suggested every year. I also watch them every year haha, it's become a strange tradition for me. I guess it's that time of year again. Where does the time go? :')

[@GorgeousGemini23]

Hope you’ve seen his newest one! Its amazing

[@arleebean]

Really, really loving this one! I'm happy that you took some time to talk about how things have been going for you lately. AND A CAT.

[@Deedeedoodad]

Arleeeee! :0

[@telepathictortoise3021]

Still love your art Sinix, even after around three years of watching, I’m still motivated by the work you put out. Keep that creation train chugging!

[@jefflhama]

So true. Other youtubers came and go. But sonic stays

[@euanburton9815]

Sinix just wanted to say the art is mesmerising and your story is inspirational, love your videos!!

[@ValkiriStudio]

I am always mind blown watching you paint, it's seriously some next-level stuff! You're like a renaissance master of digital art! I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so much with anxiety, it's an awful thing to battle. My husband struggles with it too. I hope you manage to get on top of it again with the new meds!

[@kinkarobotina]

Can I just say - thank you for telling us and being transparent and all? It was really helpful to me personally. I admire you and your journey so much, you and your art have been one of the most inspiring and motivating factors in my illustration based artistic journey. Thank you and all the best to you and yours!

I got anxiety and depression, this draw makes a lot of sense to me♥️

[@generalfishcake]

Very powerful video. As someone who hasn't had real panic attacks, this was really informing, and it makes me appreciate the struggle that people have to go through with mental health.

[@sensational4772]

This hair is so smooth, uff man what a nice shot!

[@taytaybeynippy486]

I know I have no say in this, and for an artist to love a piece they did it has to come from within. But to me this is really the best Self-Portrait Day of all of your other attempts.

[@marvelousmayo826]

I can relate to u with the anxiety and it running in the family and the pass 2 years have been rly bad but im back on my meds like u and ur art rly helps me and hearing u say all that made me feel less alone like that so thanks ^-^

[@varisfinndesign]

It is quite an amazing piece! You are very courageous for being so open, but it must be such a healing process for you. You are very fortunate to know and be able to get a grasp on your mental struggles. Thank God we have the technology to medicate but a huge congratulations to you for being on top of it and putting in the effort to take the help that is provided by the medicine. Keep up the amazing work, and congratulations on all of your accomplishments( wife, house, etc. etc.)!

[@syrusangi8743]

A video not just about self portrait but also self reflection. I should also do that more often. Thanks for sharing

[@mobiljazel9755]

This should be in a museum.

[@dumplinghao123]

Love you no matter what. I know your struggles, happy to see you are taking care of yourself.

[@VakPhoenix]

hearing you speak about mental health and anxiety makes me feel that im not alone about think about quitting the medicine! thank you

[@peachie5079]

I think it's awesome that you're talking about mental health so openly and this portrait feels so relatable right now, love it 💖

[@Jur4S]

I'm from Poland. And I love listening to you. If you read this, keep doing this what you do. I do not understand everything but your videos are still helpful. And those hands are crazy

[@nataliaautunno9061]

This painting gave me Van Gogh vibes! Gorgeous painting!

[@jeromeducaud4546]

This is a very brave testimony, human and in tone. It touched me. Anxiety is sometimes related to the fear of giving up and in your beautiful painting you put a lot of strength to maintain together the two parts of this Russian-doll self-portrait (trying to put yourself together probably). You even consider to sew those parts, for more security. But you also seem to know that beautiful things can come out from inside, as those bright and saturated petals show (and if we can see petals, there must be flowers inside)

[@mcgruber]

Don't stress about meds. Some of us just need some help keeping balance. We still love you, man. You helped me through a lot and still do

[@toonybrain]

I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles with anxiety; it must be very frightening. “Come unto me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

[@Dan-om4no]

these annual posts periodically remind me how fast time passes

[@dario9042]

Self portrait day videos just get better every year

[@SourEggz]

Coupling medicine with physical health and learning coping methods for anxiety is what I was taught by my councillor and from the group class I took for Anxiety Management.

[@KeithRodri]

Whoa, I'm an LCAD Alumnus! Cool to hear you're teaching there, I've watched your videos for a while. Keep up the good work, and appreciate you opening up about mental health

[@uoriwoh]

My best Art tutor! Stay safe out there and stay healthy!

[@junaliceart]

this portrait is incredible! I'm so sorry to hear about your relapses and panic attacks.. I understand how terrible it is.. please always make sure you put your health first ❤️ there is no shame or anything in taking medications... everything is chemically connected and its nothing you can really do so yeah.. just want you to know that I'm really proud of you!!

[@peachypear931]

Hearing and seeing your art at the same time-AH-made my day man..

[@W711-t7x]

You are like a reincarnation of Van Gogh. Your art, your search for unique signature. The self criticism... Your mental health problems... I see the same struggle. Its like a perfect match. You should always finish your works and please don't throw anything away... What might seem shit to you might be of immeasurable value to others.

Gawd I could listen to u talk for HOURS. This was a lovely video. Thank you

i have been a fan of your old old old art from years ago, and ever since youve moved on to more anime looking art and styles ive been ignoring you a bit. sad to admit that but yes. Well, I always look forward to these because I really enjoy your more realistic style and what you bring to these.

Sinix! What an inspiration, glad to have met you at Lightbox, wish I could've gone to yours and Ahmed's talk, heard great things about it. You've been a huge influence, inspiration, and resource for me over the years. Cheers!

[@b08a_arts]

Hi! I've been following your art for a while now and I really like it. In terms of not taking medicine for mental health, I relate a lot. I have depression and anxiety and usually when I forget to take my medicine It gets really bad. I'm glad to know I'm not the only person that goes through this! :)

[@katschmidt1540]

Sinix. you national treasure.

[@AlexandoriaART]

This is such a good portrait! I love the way you use color and shapes.

Thank you for sharing and encouraging some of us. Great painting as well :)

[@Morecado]

The daughter of a Swedish comedian once said (and he quoted during a show) "it's just your body telling you it's there". Coming from a toddler, I think it's a pretty nice way of looking at whatever is hurting you, whenever it's something you can't run away from.

[@deborawaltl7736]

I actually loved this portrait so much more then the one from last year. I think it's just so much more personal and complex. I feel so inspired by watching it, so thanks for that! hugs from Berlin

I love you man, don't stop!

[@PochoNieves]

I'm so glad that you are healthy and put yourself back on check and got back on your medication. I don't think it was wrong for you to tried to get off from meds and see if you could be healthy without them Fortunately, while it didn't necessary worked as you expected you were humble enough to get back on them at be good. Now as far as your self portrait... holy shit! This is so good and I bet like therapy too. I was hoping you add those days in the middle as you were going for. I wish I could be at student at wherever is it that you teach. When I went to art school in intermediate I didn't want to do oil painting at all... I adjusted thought it was so messy. Too bad they didn't have Photoshop and iPad pro with apple pencil and Procreate back then.

[@jakuburban6921]

I want to say that you thought me so much. Thanks to you I can do art the way I want and I hope you'll get well !

Hey Sinix I absolutely LOVE your channel! Its honestly helped me so much when it comes to breaking down my art to its most valuable components and really improve on my skills. Your anatomy lessons are literally *heaven sent* and super fun and engaging plus easy to follow! In comparison to a lot of other art channels I just really leave with a lot more of an impression and skill set when it comes to you. So I wanted to thank you so so much for giving way to in depth practical, and fun lessons online for FREE for people who might not gave the resources such as young artists such as myself. Basically just keep doing what your doing and keep up the great work!!

[@supersaiyanmaria694]

Im an artist too(i still feel weird calling myself that) but i super love your work and i didnt really know about your anxiety! I suffer (BADLY) myself with anxiety and depression and its always a big burden on me with everything i do. it’s always like you said, something there in the back just always creeping on me on everything i do in my everyday life ESPECIALLY my art and this past year it got so terrible that I developed agoraphobia...... so hearing you talk about this, i really related to you and maybe saying my story here on the internet isnt really doing anything but i would just like to show how i relate to you so much lol and how you CAN be successful with having this disorder as you have demonstrated! Hope we can live out our lives as normal as we possibly can!
