Aaand my newest class was just selected as one of the winners of the Skillshare summer challenge 🌞

You're also invited to check out the class' accompanying YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/XoiHh-IOcmA

Halloo friends,

Yesterday, I put out a video about how I act despite shame—especially when I have no idea what creative step I could take next.

I talk about breaking into an invites-only art gallery to find an author I admired and the advice an artist shared with me when I first started dabbling with the arts in Saudi Arabia.

I hope you have a blessed rest of the week there.

As always,

Sketchbook

This is a straightforward tutorial where I show the process of making my new 'film journal'

This is how I've been making my sketchbooks for years now—the only twist here is that I use colored pages instead of white ones. And I think those turned out better on camera.

If you want to pick up a very simple method of putting together a sketchbook, I suggest you give this one a look.

Yours,
—w

Hallooo :)

This video is about an online community that led to some tangible changes in the medical world recently, and it may be my favorite recent video yet.

Any nerdfighters here?

This one's about good chaos

Make art, not content

I don't know how many creative people here will see this, but I made this 'bad' video to get back on track with making videos.
See you next week :)

Gooood morning there,

I've had several people ask me about my sand drawing process over the years, so here's how I prepare for and put on a live show ⏳:) —w

Halloo there,

I put out a simple video about drawing and something called graphic recording:

And I hope you have a fruitful week, there.

art supplies

This video is just for those of you want to start buying a few art supplies and for you stationery-lovers who want to expand their collection.

I talk about how some art supplies helped elevate my practice, which tools I think are better for different projects, and the importance of swapping hacks with people who are working on similar things.

I feel like in many areas, keeping 'trade secrets' only holds you back and contributes to keeping the field stagnant.

I haven't watched a writer with a speech this fun since Chimamanda's TED talk over a decade ago: https://youtu.be/NSuSyZ92Cjg?si=yG4V6Ylrbf7KQAq3

I think this video is a gem for anyone who wants to pick up drawing for the first time (or get back to it after a long hiatus): https://youtu.be/7Xb1XuFsVxQ?si=q1ZMRM0At3kXPnNo

Halloo friends,
I made a video about making videos :)

Good evening there,

I hope your Saturday is going well.
I just wanted to share a video I published on Youtube—if you're looking for a few drawing tools to play with or 'revive' your drawing practice, I think this video is for you.
I've adored the German brand I talk about here since I first tried a friend's markers a couple of years ago; I'm so excited to finally have a few of my own now.
After this though, I think I'll have to take a break from splurging on stationery for some time..

This is an essay writing contest for any high school or undergraduate students. Today is the last day to submit your essay, though. Good luck :)
