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

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

This skill with which this was executed is astronomical

“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! 😁🙏☀️

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

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

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?)

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 😁

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

the sprout coming out of the skull is just amazing

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

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.

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.

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

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

its a good day when sinix uploads

Came her for Sinix, stayed here for Sinus

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

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).

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!

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 🙏

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

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.

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

you the best Sinix😍

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

Wow, that left turn at the end was wild!

The return of the king 👑

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

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

I'm addicted to your videos. Each new video is like a little holiday) Just wanted to say thank you for stuff you're doing

The airbrush technique you have been using lately is inspirational..

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!

man i really wish you could do a guided mindfullness meditation lol, your voice is just so soothing and relaxing.

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.

BEST self PORTRAIT EVER MAN!

ALMOST AT 1MIL SINIX LET’S GO

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!💕💕

Paintsploration! Bring it back. ❤👀

I like how you used shapes in this portrait😍🙌🏼✨

I’d looove this as a keychain head🙏🙏🙏💯

another common w from papa sinix

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.

I was all smiley when I saw this on my feed. So excited to see this year’s self portrait!

The return of the sprout

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

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.

He EXPLODED!

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

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

the mirrorball ended up looking really nice tho

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

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

The GOAT graces us again this time of year!

Your art just gets better and better!

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!

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

Huh, this is the first time i've been on time for a self portrait video.

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

Omg that was perfect i love it ❤

Epic

This is the first time that I'm that early and it feels so weird💀 Really love your art, you helped me improve so much!❤

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

Man i was waiting for this video from morning

Mindfulness meditation is invented by Buddha. For those interested here is his instruction :D At one time the Blessed One was living in the Kurus, at Kammasadamma, a market-town of the Kuru people. Then the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus as follows: "This is the only way, O bhikkhus, for the purification of beings, for the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, for the destruction of suffering and grief, for reaching the right path, for the attainment of Nibbana, namely, the Four Arousings of Mindfulness." Mindfulness of Breathing "And how, O bhikkhus (monks), does a bhikkhu (monk) live contemplating the body in the body? "Here, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, gone to the forest, to the foot of a tree, or to an empty place, sits down, bends in his legs crosswise on his lap, keeps his body erect, and arouses mindfulness in the object of meditation, namely, the breath which is in front of him. "Mindful, he breathes in, and mindful, he breathes out. He, thinking, 'I breathe in long,' he understands when he is breathing in long; or thinking, 'I breathe out long,' he understands when he is breathing out long; or thinking, 'I breathe in short,' he understands when he is breathing in short; or thinking, 'I breathe out short,' he understands when he is breathing out short. "'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe in,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe out,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Calming the activity of the body, I shall breathe in,' thinking thus, he trains himself. 'Calming the activity of the body, I shall breathe out,' thinking thus, he trains himself. "Just as a clever turner or a turner's apprentice, turning long, understands: 'I turn long;' or turning short, understands: 'I turn short'; just so, indeed, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, when he breathes in long, understands: 'I breathe in long'; or, when he breathes out long, understands: 'I breathe out long'; or, when he breathes in short, he understands: 'I breathe in short'; or when he breathes out short, he understands: 'I breathe out short.' He trains himself with the thought: 'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe in.' He trains himself with the thought: 'Experiencing the whole body, I shall breathe out.' He trains himself with the thought: 'Calming the activity of the body I shall breathe in.' He trains himself with the thought: 'Calming the activity of the body I shall breathe out.' "Thus he lives contemplating the body in the body internally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body externally, or he lives contemplating the body in the body internally and externally. He lives contemplating origination-things in the body, or he lives contemplating dissolution-things in the body, or he lives contemplating origination-and-dissolution-things in the body. Or indeed his mindfulness is established with the thought: 'The body exists,' to the extent necessary just for knowledge and remembrance, and he lives independent and clings to naught in the world. Thus, also, O bhikkhus, a bhikkhu lives contemplating the body in the body." (...)
