Hi all ... New video is up. In this one I'm testing out my brand new camera. During the video I talk a little about speedpaints, unusual portraits and using art as a mental escape.
Don't forget about the Wonder Woman drawing, auction ends Sunday night at 10:30 pm, MT - Buy The Original Artwork

New camera looks great!!
+GWSFilms Thanks George, I appreciate it man
The color tint or cast look great. It's still a little hot on the upper left, and it's casting too dark a shadow. I don't know what your lighting is, but a little fill light on the right might be helpful. Now, as for how you actually do that, I haven't a clue.
+Kevin Phillips Thanks Kevin, I'll take all that into consideration. I appreciate the comment.
Cool video Jeff. Personally, I've never been a huge fan of speedpaint videos. I do watch yours, but usually only for like a minute or so. I don't know, I think I just don't find speedpaints to be all that fun to watch, I prefer to listen to artists talk. Only exception I can think of is some of Marydoodles' videos. Some of the ones she's done are amazing.
The new camera seems great! Image is coming through crystal clear, and I'm only watching on a smartphone.
+Jesse Thanks Jesse, I appreciate the input man
Great clarity on the camera.
+youtubasoarus Thanks for the comment!
Oh wow! Your art is awesome!
+Stephanie Narvaez Thanks!
The camera and the piece look good!
+Kevin Cross Thanks Kevin
I Do think if my spoken english was a bit better i would prefer to do a demonstration over a speed painting. But somehow i feel the attention span of ppl is getting shorter and shorter that even in a 3 min speed painting ppl are watching 1 min max. So its a bit hard to capture ppl attention while doing full rendering of a drawing for an hour or so. Maybe ppl would watch a quick sketching but im not sure about an hour or 2 of rendering.
+Salem Shanouha I think the talking helps people stay with it, Thanks for the comment Salem
+Jeff Lafferty I think it depends on the audience. As an artist i watched the whole video from start to end since it contained a bundle of useful info for me to grow as an artist and other artists would do too. But do u think it would effect the "lets say fans" who are not artists but love art in general to watch an hour long video ?
" Im only asking to learn by the way not to argue since im only 1 month old in youtube years."
+Salem Shanouha I think you could be right. The longer shows definitely attract other artists. That makes them more niche, and less likely to go viral like some of the speed paints do.
For me it's just more to do with the kind of videos I like to make. I like to watch artists work and hear what they have to say, so that makes me want to do those kinds of videos, its just a personal thing and I figure the audience figure itself out.
Thanks so much for the comments. I really appreciate the feedback and I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
+Jeff Lafferty I agree. As an artist i prefer watching such videos over speed paintings. I think it has something to do with growth. u start watching speed paintings as an amateur but as u grow u want to learn more about techniques and mind sets then seeing cool and flashy stuff.
Thank you Jeff that was enlightening. Looking forward for ur next videos
