me: comes here for nice drawing sinix: An essay on dehumanization and how the political climate uses it.

[@Deedeedoodad]

Lmaooo

[@rumory]

the essay is more interesting than the portrait

[@show._bug]

you’ve taught me so much, thank you🥺

[@kathharper]

I so agree with you on the emotional manipulation - it's as essential as teaching children to avoid strangers - and probably due to the expansion of a medium for exploiting this manipulation, even MORE important. Glad to see you in action, seems it's been a while.

[@josukehigashikata5397]

I’ve recently rediscovered my love for art. Seems like a good time for a Sinix binge 🥰 I love your work, man.

[@golden_raccie]

Hi Sinix! I'm from the Philippines, and your videos have helped me out a lot ever since I've started taking digital art seriously. Hearing that 'kumusta' from you was quite funny! In the best way :") Keep up the amazing work!

[@alienjjj]

sinix bringing that psychological support so I don’t have to go see my terapist today while also serving awesome art tips and beautiful live painting

[@stellao.7365]

I love how your tone did not change even one bit for the middle part of the video. Its like taika waititi in thor ragnarok vibes

[@kingpen1179]

HELLO SINIX SHOUT OUT FRM PHILIPPINES BROTHER Im an 18 yrs old artist that was heavily inspired by your work since 3 years ago 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 that kumusta was kinda ok though 😊😊😊 im glad you tried out Jollibee, how was it though??

[@doqify6189]

that kamusta friccen hit me right in the heart, how could you do this

[@jeil5894]

I thought I was in for a eye candy treat but it turns out that it was a therapeutic and eye opening session of Dr. Sinix

[@pondererofpointlessdreams5029]

It's the most wonderful time of the year when Sinix uploads on portrait day!

[@valentinabenitez7713]

DUDE i just saw you on another video!! it was about the "deleted scene" of squidward turning into a snail.. i just find it so crazy that i saw a comment written a year ago and thought "huh. weird profile picture" and then i go into another video and find a recent comment of the same person??

[@pondererofpointlessdreams5029]

@@valentinabenitez7713 that's pretty wacky, i don't even remember writing a comment there roflmao in that case, hi again!

[@dracodragon4294]

I really love your process here. I'm starting to paint after mostly just drawing things and the way you built up the colors is really helpful and seems like a good process to start from. I love your emphasis on shapes and all of the different colors you use. Definitely taking inspiration from this. Also, this is what I gleaned from this video of your process: 1. Sketch 2. Local values and gradients 3. Hard brush to put in lighting shapes with a bunch of different colors 4. Use airbrush and blending to mix some of the shapes together better 5. Define lines with the cut and smooth technique 6. Add detail

[@tmo6517]

You are so talented... and I thank you for your rant. Sometimes I feel like, am I the only one awake right now?? Very well stated. Draw on!❤️

[@sho3910]

Thanks to your inspiring art I’ve finally participated in the challenge and had so much fun!

[@Mjumiman]

The artwork turned out amazing (lovely hair floof) and I can agree to your thoughts too. Always insightful, and it gave me a weirdly comforting feeling despite everything.

[@Arluy]

I have made a self portrait trying to follow this instructions and I really like it, I want to experience more illuminations now

[@Lampey22]

Wow i gotta do a self portrait too! Amazing job by the way!!

[@rainbowrotcod]

I agree with your talk about the manipulation. I see that shit all the time nowadays ugh ;-; anyway, your art is badass, I love how colorful this piece is!

[@Chandanweb]

Sinix you are awakened bro, just like many others.

[@ipilokko]

sinix never gets old 👌👍

[@waifurst]

This is my first self portrait day in which sinix has posted while I was subscribed. I think I started watching your videos sinix around December of last year and I've improved my art so much since then. You introduced me to a whole new side of digital art I wasn't aware of. I did my first annual self portrait this year! Thank you sinus

YOO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RECOGNIZING YOUR FILIPINO FANBASE (I know I'm late to this sorry) but seriously, your videos help a lot of professionals over here, you're always our first stop when it comes to searching for videos searching for a deeper more advanced level of art in general.

[@huntshutch7541]

The tackling of emotional manipulation and the more obvious lack of emotional regulation taught in school is something I really strongly agree with!

[@adriana7633]

Hey Sinix, as I heard your thoughts about dehumanization I felt remembered to to ideas of Marshall B. Rosenberg. As I understood him it's about how a certain way of language contributes to violence on earth (like dehumanization). And how we could spread more compassion, if we talk in terms of needs and feelings rather than in terms of judgements. I thought this maybe could be interesting for you, too :D

[@WanJae42]

Thanks for the awesome words about emotional manipulation et al

[@rayhn7630]

very nice autoportrait, but i love what you talked about dehumanization and manipulation!

Damn, that was cool. The portrait already looked great, and then you dropped in that light effect and cranked it up to 11! Really love your style, thanks for sharing.

[@theseventh5204]

Your videos are exactly what I've been looking for. I recently got a tablet and am trying my hand at drawing digitally. Your videos have explained everything so well that I feel confident to actually start! Thank you so much. This piece is amazing also.

"it's not racism that leads to dehumanization, it's dehumanization that leads to racism" Christ... I was not expected that important of a sentence in a sinix video... Kudos

[@saulthompson1105]

I love seeing your videos! you have been inspiring me as an artist for a very long time. I also find the videos where you talk about your life as an artist and how you've gotten to the position you are in to be very helpfull and relateable! Keep up the amazing work man!!

[@bodod]

Wow. That portrait is amazing. Do you do the coloring/rendering all in one layer?

[@tommullinerart]

didn't think that crazy highlight on the cool, shadow side was going to work but - boom it worked a charm! Fantastic work, Sinix

i love the loose sinix. keep up the diffuse astral meta chaos control, senpai

also i want to add my two cents about the education thread...people are teached to be controlled, not to gain power to control
