SMALL POLL - Change to Process Videos

Hi peeps, 

As per my previous mini-poll, my patreon in is need of a bit of a freshening up, so I will be thinking about changing up rewards that aren't working too well in the coming months. 

The first one I want to look into changing are the Process Videos. The videos have been getting fewer and fewer views, which is leading me to think that they might not be the most interesting reward for you, so I would like to experiment with other things that may be of more value to you?

I have a couple of ideas, which you can vote for below, and any feedback you may have is also always appreciated :)

Here's a breakdown of my ideas : 

1) A monthly timelapse of a study :
I would work from a photo reference and breakdown my process in a voiceover.
I could share the reference I plan to use in advance so you could do your own study and then compare that to what I create in the video?
I am not able to do regular tutorials or critiques at this stage, so I feel this could potentially be a type of alternative?

2) A monthly video of sketches exploring an idea :
You know that thing I keep saying; "I really like this idea and I might turn it into a painting some day"?
Well, that would sort of be me actually doing that, haha.
I have SO MANY ideas stored away for when I find the time, so many concepts I have been meaning to explore in more detail!
I could create a video exploring a concept in my sketchbook with a voiceover explaining my thought process and how I go about developing an idea in more depth. 

I am thinking of making the November video an example of choice 2.
I have started brainstorming a piece based on an old favourite and have footage of me creating very rough composition sketches which I could explain my thought process for. How does that sound?

Let me know what you think!

Hi Caroline! :) Yes, the most recent couple of videos were from my phone, but most of the Process Videos are in the normal landscape format. The format doesn't seem to have affected views, but it is useful to hear you don't enjoy that format as much! Vertical format is not ideal, but it is very hard for me to film in multiple formats due to the very varied requirements from social media platforms, so some videos need to be vertical and some won't be. It will depend on what was easiest for em to set up at any given time, I'm afraid :( If I switch to sketching and idea development videos they will be in the normal format though!

Hi new here 😊 thank you for asking I just have a quick feedback on the process video. They don't show up on the screen completely it is just as if you were filming with your phone (and maybe you are) and we cannot see details 😊📱 maybe this is the reason why less people watch them Thank you🙏❤️

I’ve always enjoyed the thought process and sharing ways to get inspiration or develop ideas.

I’ve always enjoyed the thought process and how to

Haha, the poll is 90% to 10% right now, it seems to be a popular idea, so I'll give it a go for November! :D

Love the idea of 2 x
