Work With Me Session (live)

Last week, I batch filmed videos for my upcoming projects & I'm dreading all the editing I'll have to do in the weeks to come.

So, I'll be doing some of that live at this time tomorrow (2:00 p.m. at GMT +3:00).

I'll have my software open and edit Skillshare lessons for 1-3 hours on camera (you can open the video in the background & do your own work).

If you want to join me, share your day's goal in the chatbox & have us hold each other accountable, you're invited to do so here: https://lnkd.in/e52i6M2k

I hope you have a wonderful day.

My Amharic-language Channel
(an experiment)
I just published my intro video on my new Amharic language channel.

I started another channel in Arabic and it's mostly me batch-filming videos with advice for younger folks and my experience in a few creative fields.

I'll have to see if making these videos in multiple languages is a sustainable thing, though—and if I'm fluent enough to even be making videos like this in Amharic (#gundan 🐜).

But since I'm all for practicing in public, here's my video either way: https://youtu.be/YAdPsQbSw8M

4 Don't Do's for Creative Newbies
(in English)
I've been asked different variations of the questions I answer in this video, and they're things I wish somebody had told me like, a decade ago.

So, if you or a loved one, are an artist, writer, architect or any other sort of creative who wants to start their career, this is for you.

I hope it helps :)

Yours,

5 things I recommend you try early in your creative career
(in English)

Late last month, I shared a video which included 5 things I wouldn't do if I was starting this sand drawing and writing work again.

This video includes the things I wish I'd done more of.

Have a beautiful month.

🍄 My 5th Skillshare class

I've had a several people ask me how I make the quick, little animations I use in the videos I make.

A couple of them seemed intrigued when I took out my phone & showed them how the 'animation' is basically a screen-record of my live drawing which I then speed up and edit.

So, here's how I do that step-by-step without the use an iPad or software like Blender or Aftereffects.

As always,
