Self-Portrait Day 2022

November 1st is international self-portrait day and this is my 11th anniversary of making a youtube video about it! Do a self-portrait today and enjoy the video. Also, try meditating! (I use the "waking up" app for chill guided meditation)
All painting in this video was done in Corel Painter. Brushes publicly hosted for free on my Patreon page.

i love watching your self portraits every year, it kinda feels like a festive tradition by now lol

[@sooolegal]

Why no one reply

[@louringwaterhole4865]

I feel like every year we get a new mystery rendering flavor from your self-portraits, love it.

[@notonlyhuman6073]

This skill with which this was executed is astronomical

This community is seriously the best. Looking at these comments really just makes me happy because there is so little toxicity (ignoring the few bots). Everyone just seems to be vibing.

[@manon7521]

I like how this selfportrait works kind of better as a video than just the final result. And the stories too! They just make it so nice and complete

[@orenjisoul8578]

“A lot of times, the easiest way to go forward is to go back backward a little bit” - love this; i use this philosophy all the time when producing music. - Sinix, man, this year’s self portrait is so gnarly, haha! I’m so happy to see these every year! Keep up the awesome! 😁🙏☀️

[@jonsnow8486]

The amount of times that i thought you were done with your art but still kept on adding things. This is so dope.

[@skeil_ed]

Big plus for meditation! I'll be the one to say that meditation should be a mandatory topic in every art course. It's one of those things that gives a huge buff to artists with no costs at all 😁

[@masonoreilly7512]

dude I LOVE how much more creative your self portraits get each year

[@Basim_Zaheer]

Holy moly. I just realized that you'll be so perfect as a voice actor for any animated movie or stuff related to it. Your voice has that texture.

[@arachnidsLor]

i honestly have to reflect on how long ive been watching this channel. i feel we live in a totally different time now and the perspective i have on the channel is different too. and youre obviously a different person too because everyone changes. well one thing never changes, a november 1st guaranteed sinix upload , thank you

[@sejcai]

funny you mention how long you’ve been watching, i found this comment after clicking on your profile from a 5 year old comment on “drawing faces from any angle”

[@bigfin20]

the sprout coming out of the skull is just amazing

[@praleen_]

Oh my gods! This video was so fun to watch! Especially the sphere part, which is really impressive!

[@austine6269]

Wow I've been following this guy for more than 5 years now , I just love the way he's growing and improving my first comment on his video

[@panpukinart]

Your self portraits are always a nice little cherry ontop of my year. A grounding, calm little highlight to look forward to, and a reminder of back when I began my art journey and first started watching your videos all this time ago. Thanks for all the wonderful years. Let's hope for many more!

[@Lionfrog13]

Super excited to see everyone’s paintings. One of the best art holidays.

[@icantevendothjsanymrke]

its a good day when sinix uploads

[@un_told_]

Sinix is the best

[@knzay]

another year where i forget about self-portrait day until your vid pops up in my subscriptions

[@CrayfishDesign]

Getting wiser, you are. Makes me wanna try some meditation. Great portrait!

[@abbinallydraws3560]

As an artist AND psychology student, I can only recommend implementing mindfulness in your life. You can either do mindfulness meditation or just small mindfulness exercises during your day to day life. As somebody who struggled with a lot of anxiety, it helped me keep myself grounded and relfect upon my situation. Even if you are not struggeling with mental health issues, it can only be beneficial to you:) So I highly encourage you to read up on it and try it yourself! On a different note: Sinix you keep being an inspiration to me, as an artist and as a person. I am always excited to see new videos from you. (Also you really had to flex with that mirror orb didnt you?)

[@abbinallydraws3560]

@@disagreement529 What makes you think so?

[@ИВАНБАРКОВ-г5ь]

Mr. Sinix , your drawn nose is a gigachad among all drawn noses, and faces, hands, dogs and maybe even other gigachads

[@lunayen]

It's impressive how your portraits get crazier and crazier with the years. I love it!

Came for the drawing (the second video I actually watch on your channel) but got a second opinion on what I've started to suspect is going on in my life🙏 -- (wrote the above half-way through) -- ... now I'm just blown away by the message I sooooo needed to hear! Thank you 🙏

[@chelsealovey]

I'm so glad you're still doing this! It came out great!!

[@user-mi8gf5ez5g]

this was amazing. this self portrait went from 0 to 100 to 10,000. quite the journey :D

[@illmh8591]

I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH! thank you for sharing this year process as well! Your little talky-talk are really nice to hear too!💕💕

Mesmerizing, you never fail to amaze - and inspire - me with your work!

The GOAT graces us again this time of year!

[@tosteson1]

Wow, that left turn at the end was wild!

[@NINEx7x]

Warning for people wanting to get into mindfulness meditation, if you have past trauma, the meditation can dredge up anything that you haven't dealt with and cause all sorts of new problems (I've heard from a therapist that it can cause panic attacks, anxiety, and depression). Definitely consult a therapist if you experience this when trying mindfulness meditation.

Finally, the greatest day of the year! So nice one, hope I can make a good one too

[@KillerTacos54]

Fantastic! I haven’t missed a single year. Whenever these come out, I’m always reminded how fast the year has gone

[@Rishabh_Bahuguna]

Yay! I remembered this year and made it before you posted the video, unlike all the other times.

[@ManoMonikas]

Just wanted to say thank you for all your great tutorials and videos. You are great at teaching and your art is beautiful.

[@IsaacRC]

Just wow the quality, meditative painting indeed, fell asleep lol BTW the trick for "spherize" tool is to use it inside a square canvas frame where the sphere is supposed to be inscribed (the circular perimeter touching the square canvas margins), the positive or negative values will expand or compress angular distribution see "ortographic" projection for fish-eyes (like a real sphere would reflect).

[@pauliedaartist7]

I was waiting all morning for this!!! Really nice treat right before my next class❤🔥

BEST self PORTRAIT EVER MAN!

Damn I was like thats a really nice portrait and then u split your head in pieces, did the inside anatomy and placed a universe inside your head. Outstanding work!

[@minhlucnguyen7614]

My man, you always amaze me! I've been waiting for this these days and it's so good. I really enjoy the video.

[@zollo911]

This was a lovely video. I'm not gonna lie, I was doubtful of the outcome of the Vinyl style head bisection but it came out beautifully. Especially with the fushigi ball consciousness, it was hard to tell where it was going until all it once it just clicked.

[@fuzzydragons]

that is a great self-portrait 😀 very different take on how a portrait should look 😀

Love the shoutout to meditation, it should be taught more widely, its applicable to *literally everything* you do in life. Its hugely beneficial and I implore everyone to develop a regular meditation habit

[@santara_js]

Thank u for this amazing video, your work inspired me a lot ❣❣

[@mihailcoltuclu3380]

just 2 questions: 1. Have you really talked during painting (I mean, simultaneously)? 2. Could you, please, make a video about your technique of painting in a software application (like Krita). I mean to be visible interface of the application, and to explain which mask do you use, how and when you add extra layers, etc. I would be really grateful.

[@joaovitora.pelegrini2000]

It's always the highest point of the year. Great rendering... kind looks like a psyconauts character

i remember seeing your self portrait day videos from years ago. i've been following your tutorials since my freshman year, and you're the reason i now sit at my computer today finalizing my art supplement as i submit to colleges. man how time flies!

We're in the exact same boat! Sinix helped carry my art skills from freshman year to now. Good luck to you with all your portfolios and applications :)

the part about cat allergies and anxiety disorders blew my mind. i have cat allergies and live with 4 of them, and also struggle with anxiety disorders, and never even considered that not being able to breathe right could affect it so much

I started watching the process, then got impatient and skipped to the end and was like "wtf happened here?" Lesson learned: Never skip the process.
