New Discord Assignment Update

Hey guys!  Just so you know, the Patreon Discord does have educational assignment stuff on it.  I even made a video, and will continue to make videos for the assignments.  I strongly recommend you take advantage of this Patreon and use the Discord aspect of it.

It's great for people learning art.

Ask Me Anything!

Art/life/whatever... I'm going to have a little AMA portion in an upcoming video, so feel free to ask some questions!  I'll just throw any interesting ones into the video randomly.

New Year's Update!

Hello everyone.  I have a lot of good things planned this year.  First, as a reminder, be sure to join Discord and link your Patreon account to your Discord account in your Patreon settings (as well as using the same email for both).  The Patreon only discord will be refined as the year goes on to include more conversations, crits, and assignments.  It's a good benefit for ALL patrons.

The current paintover pals is delayed a week or two because of a huge concurrence of...

Patreon only Discord is here.

People asked for it, and I might as well try it.  If you link your Patreon account to Discord (it's in your account settings) you should be auto-invited into the Discord channel.  Just make sure you have an email in your discord account and it's the same email you used for Patreon.

It's a work in progress at the moment, I'll try to figure out some good assignments and activities for it.

Friendly Reminder!

If you're a $20 Patron, be sure to check your email for the paintover submission.  I sent it out earlier in the week, but remember to respond to that email and get your entry in by the end of the month.

Meanwhile, for everyone else, future video lineup consists of Self-Portrait Day, Paintsploration, Gunpla vid, a video about proper learning methods, and probably Anatomy Quick Tips (mouths).

Sorry for the lack of updates, haven't been doing enough actual artwork lately.  I'm going to try and produce more art in the coming months.

July Video Plans!

Hey guys!  I thought it would be fun to do a quick poll to decide the priority of different videos for each month.  It's not the end-all-be-all, but it will definitely make different videos have more priority.

There will definitely be a new sketchbook tour and  paintover pals episode coming soon, but after that, there are a few options.

What sounds like the best video to you?

$666 goal reached!

Well, I wasn't expecting that to happen this month.  The goal was purposefully vague, but there is an actual video series thing that is going to happen now.

I have to dedicate the next weeks to anime expo, but I'll try to begin messing with this project after the first episode of Corner Kick.  Now for the info, I'm going to make a little video motion comic for a project called "Devilbot".  It's a silly story with zombies and fantasy nonsense.

Plans for June 2017

Hey everyone!  Things are getting a bit hectic over here.  I'm taking a road trip up to Oregon so I won't get to start on more videos for another week.  Anime Expo is at the start of July.  I will have an exhibit booth with Ross Draws and TheJettyJetShow, so be sure to stop by if you're going!!

Sorry for the lack of updates this month.   It's been all animations, so I don't have the normal amount of digital sketches/paintings.

Plans for May 2017

Hey guys, I thought it might be fun to give an idea of what videos I'm planning at the start of every month.  Just be warned, my plans always go off the rails, but I can give you a rough idea of what I'm hoping to put up on Youtube this month.

In order of appearance:

- Patreon Paintover vid

- Anatomy Quick Tips: Hands

- Sketchbook Tour Vol. 5

IMPORTANT UPDATES!

I've adjusted the tiers of my Patreon.  Now there are simply two tiers.  The standard tier, which is awesome and helps out a lot.  And the fancy hardcore tier which combines the previous two higher tiers into one tier.  The higher tier still has your name on every video, but is eligible to submit a piece of artwork each month to be used in a regular paintover series on youtube.  I've been struggling to find time for weekly hangouts, so paintovers will probably benefit ev...
