The amount of detail you put not only into your art but also video production is so refreshing. Sometimes it can be simple and comforting to see an overhead look of a desk, or a screen recording but putting so much effort into the visuals really helps make the video so much more engaging as well as crafting a story by putting us into the same environment you were in. Really looking forward to any and all content you produce and wish you the best of luck in school! Thank you so much for sharing with us :)

Thanks for the kind words! The idea behind it was to show process beyond what goes on the final page - wasn't sure how well this format was going to work so it's good to hear feedback like this. Hopefully I'll have time in the future to make more vids like this :)

Wow this was so beautiful, your art, your voice, your explanation! I really want to take a guo hua class now, do you mind sharing where you took yours? Thank you xx

@lemoncholy 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! I wish I had a better answer: my mom found my teacher via a connection on WeChat. He paints well, but doesn't like to advertise himself and speaks no English. Fortunately I always had someone with me who was fluent in the Shanghai dialect which made communication a little easier. There was a lot of history and philosophy he talked about that supplemented the art but I wasn't able to grasp the nuances because my Chinese wasn't good enough. Generally speaking, the best guo hua teachers are located in China, and the older they are, the better they are. The limitations you'll have to navigate are location/travel and ability to speak the language.

How the hell are you SO underrated?!?!? You are the definition of high quality videos, it's a pity the algorithm doesn't tend to promote that.

@anushkavhatkar7187 4 жыл бұрын

Wow... I love EVERYTHING about this. I’m serious. Love the concept for the video, and the fact that you shared your entire process. As a fellow artist, I really enjoyed hearing what was in your head while you made this piece- the sentiment truly contributes to the art. Love the amazing video transitions, other video effects and cinematography in all your shots. The starting sequence is so clever! Also like always, love your art. You genuinely have such a beautiful, dynamic style! I can only imagine how long this took, and how much effort you put into it. Thank you for sharing this w us (I also noticed and appreciate how you mentioned your brushes/ other resources in the description, thank you for that!)

i'm so happy that you noticed all these things - it makes me feel like the time i spent has paid off! sometimes it's nice to leave pieces up to interpretation but other times i do feel like it's a shame that we keep so much of our thoughts to ourselves - i'm the glad the format worked, and that there is interest for these kinds of things. thanks again for the lovely comment, it really made my day ^-^

I grew up in Shanghai. I never really liked it much but after I left for college, I realised how much I got used to it. The moment I saw the title of this video while scrolling on your channel, I knew that I was going to shed some tears. I severely underestimated it. This video genuinely made me bawl my eyes out. I love your art style, the way you see the world and how you put things into words. You mentioned in the video that you weren’t completely satisfied with this piece. I don’t know much about art but I’m begging you to reconsider. The color palette reflects perfectly the old streets I used to wander around, in hazy summer afternoons, holding my fathers hand. Your talent for evoking emotions through art is absolutely incredible.

@danigotch123 4 жыл бұрын

I LOVE this. Every single time I go to a gallery and museum I actually spend so much time looking at the art and thinking “I need to know how they made this” I’m always so intrigued by what the process is like, so pls make more videos like this

@vladhampir. 4 жыл бұрын

This is such a beautifully edited video. The visuals alone are such a treat but the stories behind are more than worth while! Its always been one of my personal fav parts of social media/online sharing, that artists can share as little or as much as they choose about the creation process. Personally, in a world full of nonartists who (tend) to consume artwork at faster and faster speeds, I find its important to show just how much goes into even a thumbnail. And it really was a treat to see every detail that went into this painting. The themes of old versus new, or old coming together with new shines through and has me feeling inspired and ready to create. Really appreciate this! And cant wait to see what else you create!

I barely ever draw, never use pen if I do, and have absolutely no idea how to use watercolour. Yet, I felt compelled by your art to give it a go. So, over the course of an hour or two, I sketched out your drawing by eye, then went over it with a quill and ink, and then threw myself into watercolour. I just finished and I must thank you for this video - I let out a few therapeutic tears as I pushed myself to take risks with every stroke and accept every mistake I made. This was truly a beautiful moment of growth for me, so thank you again! I wish you happiness and success for the rest of your days!

Secondly (?? Is It right?? Haha), I am not sure If u mentioned It in the video, but I want to know How long u took to make this whole art process (like, from the moment u walked the city to have sketchs to the moment u started to digitalizate It, like How many hours or days u spent on this one), or How much time (again is that right??? My Eng isnt accure) usually, to gather ideas, models, sketchs and final work when u make something for work????
