So my fav thing about Alysa Liu is her bumble bee hair 😅
Believe it or not, what inspired this expression study was discovering that she announced quitting ice-skating a few years ago…Insane right?

So the first sketch I drew was actually…the one in the middle.

I felt like I could relate to the pain of what you love to do giving you so much grief at the same time. But alas…we cant escape lol.

For my live tutorial videos do you prefer:
1. Just the screen, with me talking over the video.
2. The top-down view of my setup with my hands moving as I talk?

I have a longer follow-up video to my last demo (thanks so much for the feedback!) coming out real soon! It's a bit long, but I know many of you appreciate getting to see all the details sometimes. :) I'm still working towards thoughtfully making these demos more concise in the future.

Do you like cats? 👀 😸 I had a great time chatting with @catsuitmuse about cats and drawing stylized characters on her podcast - 6 Degreees of Cats! Listen to the latest episode featuring me and a couple other creatives here: pod.link/6degreesofcats

WOW... I didn't expect so many of you to enjoy the animation breakdown I did! Even though It took me a week to break down the movements, I had a ton of fun making it.

IF you want to take a closer look yourself, I uploaded the Procreate Dreams files along with the individual frames on my Patreon! You can subscribe or just grab them individually for just $3! (I also threw in my newest Procreate Sketching brush xD)

I definitely have some more animation content planned (as well as a few unreleased personal animations to share) So make sure to subscribe if you haven't already!

I think the crushing moment of reality concerning Ai will hit many of us at a unique time. For me, I’m guessing whenever Glen Keane or Jin Kim sketches can get instantly replicated with Ai, and actually look good. I have always studied from them and a few other animators for awhile. In my head, they were the standard, perfect guides to stylize the most expressive characters. (IMO of course) I remember thinking to myself, “If only I could emulate a fraction of this someday”, I knew I would feel satisfied.

Today, I hate to think that so many new artists might make a tough decision. A decision to completely abandon their journey and miss out on experiences like that. Experiences where you suddenly achieve what only seemed like a dream to you. To get closer and feel the nervous shiver that you might actually have what it takes to do what you want. All because of an overwhelming feeling that it’s all worthless. These experiences shape us on our journey and are just as important anything that you would make. And it can never be taken away.

Emotion, our soul and spirit and all the energy we pour into our creations. Emotion is the last we can hold onto as unique to us - no matter what. I think it's worth it to say it should be the first thing we should cherish. The value of art and ourselves as artists has never been so little as to be replaced overnight.

If you made it this far, let me know if you'd be interested in a roast video about stylized characters like these? It's the first thing that came to mind as a way to take attention away from all the new AI stuff. At the end of the day, every big headline showing it off is a win for them. I'd rather we put our attention on what matters. It's the hype that keeps people businesses and brands so crazy about adopting AI. They are the most scared and running around trying to secure the bag. We don't need to contribute any more to that.

As I mentioned in my last video, It seems like people aren’t really interested in long-form content anymore. Ive noticed it myself, with many more views on shorts the past few months. What has been your experience?
