Hats off to the team who works really really hard to put posts and vlogs out there ...please do what you do...so many of us are benefited from you ...Thank you Art Prof 🎨 ✨

This is so kind of you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We take so much pride in providing free art education to anyone and everyone-- it means the world to hear reviews like this :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff

[@ezoji]

Wow, that was so exciting and amazing!

[@chuhsiao5345]

What a unique technique with the markers first, then tinted gesso, and finally inking. Thanks for sharing!

[@artprof]

Glad you enjoyed it! - Mia, Art Prof Staff

The realism of the process of creating is literally the most powerful gift of artprof for me. 58 in an instant world confuses me when I’m working to embrace my passion. 💓👏👏🙏🙏😍🥰

Most of making art is that long process, we want to show it bumps, warts, and all. :) -Lauryn Welch, Art Prof Teaching Artist

[@deadfisheye388]

It's nice to see people this enthusiastic about something🥰. Nowdays ppl feel being enthusiastic about something is bad thing😑

[@artprof]

I completely agree!! Thank you so much :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

[@paranoiarpincess]

Personally, I really LOVE using hot press watercolour paper for ink. It also means you can use watercolour and gouache with your inks that way. Hot press is smooth too so I find making tiny details on it works muh better than on cold press and markers and pencil work better too.

[@artprof]

I absolutely agree! Although there is something so nice about the roughness of cold press..... - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

[@paranoiarpincess]

@@artprof oh absolutely! I just prefer it because I find that the pen is less likely to snag on smoother paper.

[@ducksoff7236]

What's hilarious is you are using products the way they are sold when they don't have watercolor on the label...... "Smooth, good for wet media pen/marker" and " rough, good for dry medium"

[@ccantrell4053]

Song has such an interesting thought process and approach. This is giving me ideas and making me think about my own approach!

[@artprof]

I know right? She is so cool! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

[@blackpoppymagazine]

Wow OMG that was soooooo interesting!!! A totally different way of drawing and using inks, just supurb! Thank u, new techniques to try out, I can't wait!!! Thank u both, so much for this fascinating class.

[@emmypax5084]

I transitioned into using H pencils for my underdrawings in my own mixed media watercolor work and could tell it worked better, but never really put my finger down on WHY. But that makes a lot of sense! It's not just that the line is lighter, it also roams around less. Thanks so much for a great tutorial! Song's work is beautiful and she speaks about it so well.

[@artprof]

Absolutely!! Pencils are so fun to experiment with :) - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

[@patriziacathey605]

There is so much amazing knowledge in this segment ! I'm also grateful for the thoughtful questions and allowing the artist to answer without constant interruptions . Well done!

[@cab552]

This was awesome! Thank you for sharing your process, Song! Love knowing we all have the same challenges, make mistakes...but the best part is seeing how you can also incorporate ooopsies to enhance the final piece!

[@artprof]

Song is such a cool artist to learn from! - Mia Rozear, Art Prof Staff

[@christinekoper2407]

This is such a fresh and different way to find reference for imaginary landscapes! Love the intricacy too

What were those crazy sculptures made out of cerial and stuff? Very cool! Song truely is a master of the dip pen!

[@artprof]

Yes! Song used cereal (Cheerios) and also dried pasta. (penne) They're amazing! Here is an article on Song's sculptures. www.thisiscolossal.com/2017/03/song-kang-sculptures/ -Prof Lieu

What a gorgeous flower! The drawings arent bad either. These studio lessons from artists are brilliant, thank you. Great practical tips. Can you make one with an oil artist? 😊

[@artprof]

That would be fun! You can check out our oil references here if you're interested :) artprof.org/learn/tutorials-media/painting/oil-painting-techniques-for-beginners-part-1/ - Mia, Art Prof Staff

[@laureendavis2369]

I know this is over a year old but I just recently discovered your channel and love it. I tried drawing a picture using this technique but I didn't do any nearly as pretty. Thank you for the inspiration and tutorial. Maybe I'll make a decent one after 10 tries or so. 😂

[@artprof]

Oooh I'm glad you followed along! We also have another video with Song Kang with pencil and pen & ink, it's kind of like the prequel to this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enObg6WAeK1jsMk -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist

[@laureendavis2369]

@@artprof Thanks! I will definitely check it out. I was such a rebel with other picture. I used colored pencils instead of watercolor pens. ;-) I have to admit, it was really freeing to just make things up as I went along. I'm usually so structured. One part of my picture I had originally drawn a seashell but it ended up being a flower when I was done. I must be mellowing because that would have the structured part of me thrown into a tizzy!

[@katiefelgar7377]

I LOVE THIS video just one question what type of technical pen does she use and what types of dip pen nibs?

[@artprof]

I'm not sure, but she has toooons of info on her supplies on her IG, check her highlights. instagram.com/songhkang/ -Prof Lieu

[@spiroch2187]

Ohh she uses a H pencil instead of a B pencil... how innovativ😲🤔 i couldnt even imagine using a hard pencil to draw with so it doesnt smuch as much as a soft one☺️ wow! Sarcasm?

[@alexshi9320]

I really like Song’s artwork

Very interesting, I'd love to understand why the choice was made to use fake and plastic items instead of free items from nature that don't impact so heavily on the environment.

[@artprof]

Song says that because her pieces takes so long to create, real life. Flowers are not practical as they wilt so quickly. -Prof Lieu

[@beejensen]

Someone on KZbin suggested to stick nibs in a potato to strip the nib of its oils to better retain ink. Thoughts?

[@artprof]

I guess only concern is wasting the potato! -Prof Lieu

[@lindamiller1921]

What is the differences in drawing, calligraphy, fountain pen, and India inks? Do you only use one or all?

[@artprof]

They are more or less the same thing! I would say their purposes are different-- once you start using india ink for calligraphy, it can be considered calligraphy ink. I would also pay attention to if the ink your using is water based/soluble or not, because that can affect your project as well. - Mia, Art Prof Staff

[@MariaAya]

very inspiring
