Stealing From Myself: Making New Art from Old Drawings

In this video, I’m diving into the archives of my old sketches and drawings, because sometimes you just don’t have any fresh ideas. But that’s okay because I’ve found a great trick: stealing from myself! I’m pulling out some old designs, tweaking them, and making something new with the symmetry tools in Adobe Fresco. Watch as I improvise a whole new artwork from bits and pieces of my past doodles-whether it turns out great or just hilariously weird, who knows? Join me in this chaotic process where past meets present, and let’s see if we can make something cool!

You gave me a ton of ideas just watching you move your image around and me seeing things that weren't even there! LOL

[@chris-piascik]

Hah awesome, thanks!

Picasso said good artists borrow, great artists steal.

Another cracking video Chris...did you get your coffee in the end?! 😁

[@maketime4art]

I'd like to think you got the idea of making new art from your old stuff from a video I made last Christmas, but I know that's not true 😁 This turned out great 👍 oh and Heck yeah! 😊

[@chris-piascik]

Maybe I did! (I’ll have to go find it). Thank you!

[@ajamesdraws]

Real OG here enjoying this long video.\

[@chris-piascik]

Glad to hear!

[@SBmoonbug]

So my problem is I trace others art because I’m not an artist. I’ve only posted what I’ve drawn two times on Instagram and gave them all credit for it, but I just wonder if I’m ever going to be my own artist. (Rambling thoughts). Thank you for all of your videos chris. They are amazing and help me so much with fresco!

Can we watch you play with the new motion presets?!!🤩🎉

[@chris-piascik]

Sure! I don’t know why I overthink everything. I should just make quick little videos about new stuff sometimes.

[@moonrivers71]

@@chris-piascik Lol, I do it too. You’re definitely not alone there. ;) Awesome video as per usual. I learned a great deal more again. Thanks mister! Can’t wait for your next.

I just did this the other day with some of my doodle pages, I just picked a few portions and expanded and embellished those. It made for a nice doodle session. :) @tabbygraphics

[@chris-piascik]

Oh cool! It's a lot of fun!
