Have you ever attempted a daily project? If so, what was it and how did it go?

"If you're selling to everyone, you're selling to no one." 😉Great tips, I'm really motivated to start a daily drawing project. Now I just have to start, which is obviously the hardest thing. 😆

Your point number one is right on the money. I make fonts for a living and some of my least successful fonts are ones that I thought "the market" wanted, but which I wasn't that excited about. Making fonts to please myself, fonts that I wish existed, instead of what I think other people would like, or trying to follow trends, has been a much better strategy for me.

Bro. You might consider turning your "like and subscribe" request into a daily drawing challenge and/or series, or both! I think it would be a cool way to remove yourself from the awkward nature or doing so, as well as give your videos a nice kick at the end that adds uniqueness!

You’re a great story teller! Excellent advice. Thanks for sharing!

I have been following what others were doing instead of finding my own style. This video was super helpful !

As a freesssssh new graphic design student dabbling with illustration this video is fire. Thank you! I loooove your advice because its so practical and scalable. Definitely love the alphabet and lyrics series ideas for a newbie like me to practice! How about a board game series? Like snakes and ladders but the chess version! Or a "if your pet was a politician for a day" series...Yikes. Thanks Chris! This has got the old noodles rollin' and boilin'!

Please continue posting videos like these, very helpful! Appreciate the time you took on creating them 😊

I did a 100 day project in 2020 and I drew/created somehow the word "sugar" for 100 days. It really gave me something to look forward to that year. Series' of drawings are such a good idea! Your bicycle series makes me wonder how you remembered all the details about all the bikes you had. Seems like a good therapeutic exercise to examine personal memories like that to extract details and then draw them. Good talk!

Loved this video identified a lot, you are so right.

do a bunch of Robot themed illustrations.. I've been doing exactly that.. I'd be curious to see what you come up with.

I love your reference to not being able to do the #3 with your fingers because of drawing; I’ve never been ever to do so because I have short little fingers, but now I’m going with it being a sign of an artist and I’m going to use that as my first drawing prompt.

This is a great video. All very helpful stuff. I think the most helpful comment was your admittance of your current creative block. Sometimes just hearing that someone else, especially a respected professional, is feeling the same struggles as I am releases me of some of the guilt? I guess that's what it is? of not being able to get out of a creative slump. TMI maybe, but I appreciate what you're doing here. Thank you!

LOL, Tiny Hats. Love that!

You are definitely entertaining. I know this sounds corny and it is in my graphic memoir of being a caregiver, of how I got back into art caregiving and I encourage caregivers to use art to help themselves and their caregivees. I went to a lot of paint nites and made my mother tell me what I still needed, since looking at a picture is more challenging for our brain than chess. I now do a monthly bullet journal theme and draw a memory of each day to keep drawing digitally and manually. I've been doing classic cartoons and Nov was Fat Albert and Dec is the original Dr. Suess Grinch story. Your tips follow the principle. Do what you love, and the money will follow. Are you editing your videos yourself, or paying someone, because damn is it a huge pain in the butt editing.

These videos are great Chris I’ve been doing daily drawings for a while and my favourite project which I keep revisiting is queues 😊 the place people are queuing and the type’s of people that you would expect. And some that would be really funny to find in a queue. Keep up the good work Chris 🧙🏽‍♀️

You're the best very funny 😂 and cool😎 Thanks for the awesome videos and information. But most of all Thanks for sharing your awesome Art 🎨👍👍👍👀🤗

Hey Chris, I love your videos! You are so genuine and straightforward and have great advice. I love your idea of illustrating a series of drawings for a given subject (i.e. all bicycles)!

1 and 2 are really great explanations/expansions on why "niche down" and "lean into your weird" are common/good advice! I recently started a series, with the intent to practice 2D animation/motion graphics, of homophones morphing into each other. You were kind enough to share my pear/pair morph over on IG. And it does feel like magic! I'd be excited to see more thought process type tutorials on different motion concepts and tools. Back to series - I also have a bunch of colorful sneakers that I want to make little illustrations of. They'd be fun on their own, but I also think it'd be a kind of cool to do *ALL* of them, as a sort of collection-as-self portrait thing.

Some great info in there. Always interesting to hear how people arrived where they are!

I wanna start with a series of cool vintage killer masks

Loving these videos! Thanks for sharing your experience Chris.

Dude, I'm so glad I found your channel. Good stuff here. I've been a designer for ever, and illustrator for a long time too, but never "made" it as an illustration guy.

I saw that you did some art work for GT. I used to race BMX back in the 80's and 90's so seeing your drawings of your BMX bikes was pretty rad. I don't have any of my old BMX bikes anymore although I wish I did because some of them are worth some serious coin. The only bike I ride around on now is my Subrosa Slayer collab UTB bike. I know my comment was off topic but that part of your video showing your bike art inspired me. Keep up the great work and stay rad!

I am glad I found your channel because I am looking to pick up my latent drawing desires and put them to paper (ipad), and you’re like a friend I’d totally hang out with, but instead I just get to watch you. I would like to learn of your trials and tribulations getting started drawing, and where it took you, but I’m sure you’ve done that? I’ll see. Yes I will.

How about a series of possessed processed foods? Lots to choose from. Processed foods, that is.

Great video, Chris. Done a few daily drawing challenges. The most recent was an October drawing challenge which got me drawing every day and I loved it. Had to abandon the challenge towards the end because I've got a top secret commission to do.Technically still drawing every day though. lol.

Great video man! These tips are very useful. Just discovered this channel (and you) these past days and I've been liking every video I watched! Keep doing awesome, this channel deserves more views definitely 👊

I wanna do a series of my tools I use for art and writing. Also, I have the same issue with my drawing hand...there's no showing of threes or any sort of Vulcan salute...

Thank you so much for your content. Helped me A LOT!

Great stuff, thank you!

Man, such a wonderful video! So motivated rn

Chris, ❤️ the videos: especially when you share your insights and thought processes. Super informative and quite inspirational. Here is a suggestion for a series; how about your favorite shoes/ sneakers? I hope you break out of that creative block ( oh, that's an idea; how about a series on how you can break out of a block?) Just spitballing..

Series! Ok, noted. Sounds interesting. I’m on youtube all day, never expect to find out new, simple stuff😂

please keep on doing the Chanel! its great!

Hey Chris! just found your channel awesome work and its so cool to learn about Fresco, taking my first stab at that after using Procreate for my art, I am Huge Skeleton and Skull Die hard fan to so a prompt for you : 30 Days of Being a Skeleton in the Real World, Example: Doing Laundry, picking up meds at a Walgreens etc ☠😁💀.

Love your videos and your drawings. What about a series about little monsters?

Chris, where do you get your inspiration for all your wonderful illustrations?

This has got me thinking about doing a small ink painting a day. How long did you devote to a drawing each day? Did you have a time limit?

An animal a day. Or all dog breeds - one a day.

Sponge Bob tarot card series!!

Put your index finger down and make a three from the middle, ring, and pinkie fingers.

What bike are you riding the most these days?
