Hello, I don't know if anybody can hear me Because I'm trying to stream off my phone just to see if it will work and Yeah, so I'm just gonna do a till stream because I'll be honest. I don't have much stuff going for Comic stuff because also about the chair I was Working on this, but then my friend came over so I sort of had like a mini holiday That makes sense Hear myself I Want to I can't have music for now. I was trying to play music off my iPad and then I Realized that I need to watch myself on YouTube so I can see and see what's going on and I can have the chat We can actually respond to you guys So what I'm doing right now is that I've Printed out my roughs. Hi guys So these are all the rough pages that I've been working on so I scanned them into Photoshop and then I printed them out and now I'm just going over them with tracing paper and doing rough lines So this is this page And It's gonna look like this basically these are the rough lines So what I'm gonna do is just pencil all these out and then I'll go over it again and see any mistakes within the line work and Then on top of that I will do my inks and then color and stuff. I'm still not sure What kind of process I'm gonna do there goes a pen For the style, but I really like this pencil style mixed with Copic markers So I'm probably gonna do something like that. I Don't know if you can see I'm sorry if the quality is bad. Hi guys. Can you hear me? Okay? Because I'm using my iPhone so maybe I'm just really quiet and Yeah Here these are these rough pages that I scanned in I'm still trying to work out the style a little bit But I think I'm just gonna go ahead with the rough pencils and get on with it basically Because I've got a lot to do and I was kind of you know, taking a break. So I need to just I keep dropping pens. That's really really good Yeah Hello everybody, I love your progress on this can't wait to see what you do. Thank you very much I'm good. Thank you the Zator Just it's morning now and I've got my coffee And I was planning to put a video up But then I was just like what if I just stream and use my phone because I've never Streamed with my phone. So I was like maybe it'll work. I'm sorry about this. You can see all this action It's not very professional, but It's what all I can do for now. I'm gonna just move on to the next page penciling I'm just doing this very basically with tracing paper because I do want to use tracing paper in the process So I'm thinking what I'll do is I'll pencil out all of her and the guy the main characters and then just I'll see if I need to cut that out and then redo the pencils again on a plain paper. It's a very convoluted process, but yeah, I think that's what I'm gonna do because it's such a Stylized thing. It's very weird style anyway So I need to just figure out the process is gonna be for creating it So how's everybody doing? Is it really early morning for you? Pesto is just like plucking my sofa. Pesto is my cat and she decides now. Yeah, so I'm just gonna go over these lines Don't know how well you can see that, but I hope it's okay. Oh Hey, Dina I just decided to do like a chill kind of stream. I Wanted to put music on but I cannot Cannot right now. I need to figure it all out. It's all the process Because I figured I said I would do a video for today But then I just didn't have any footage because I've sort of been taking a break the last few Few days as my friends being out so we went out on a tapas run and did like different stiff stiff Great. Thanks. Thanks mouth We did different stuff in Gibraltar where we drove up the rock with a car You guys don't know I'm from Gibraltar, which is a military ex military base Well, it's still a military base, but it's a British overseas territory.  She's gone now though. She just left So I thought I would do a little stream because I didn't have any footage that makes sense I hope you can hear me Yeah, I want to put music, but I have to watch myself on the iPad I might get my my laptop and play some music I don't really plan this very well because it was kind of an Impulse decision to just stream because I think I'm a bit scared of streaming, but then I was like just do it just do it Maybe you can play your own song in the background Thanks. Thanks for saying my voice is relaxing. I feel I Always really like watching youtubers who are very chill. So that's that's nice I'm sort of doing these pencils Over the top but a bit rough because I decided that I want the line quality of the comic to be a little bit All over the place and because I think that's kind of disorientating and Might be, you know unnerving in a sense. I don't know. I'm as I said, I'm still sort of working on the Style which I should kind of have downsides as I'm trying to do rough pencils now Um This panel I did the door Here so I'm gonna copy that door Don't know if it's big enough But we're going to try it anyway How's everybody doing today? No, I'm going to sleep Hi zen I know it's it's a it's a weird one with different time zones because I think most of my audience is in america So I obviously this is quite early for them most people in america, so I'm sorry about that But if you're catching this after I've done the stream Um, I'm sorry, but maybe you can just use this instead of a video That's what you like watching So I think this would be a pretty similar vibe to my My horror comic vlogs anyway. Just slower artwork. I can't edit like Speeding up the footage or anything Wonderful says I still going with a slightly smudged look with black and minimal colors It would look super fitting when you showed it in the video. Oh, it looks super fitting. I think so. I'm I think I'm gonna start out with Maybe brighter colors and then as the story goes on mute the colors a little bit more and then towards the end I'm gonna have her I'm gonna have it a bit more abstracty, but still kind of readable hopefully and yeah, so it's all a process really because You you kind of need to figure out one thing before you can do another So I'm trying to just push through what I can do for now and then Because as I said, I'm trying to do this comic for um in a month But obviously that's not gonna happen because I think a month is next week Hey, Kate Yeah, so I just do a little recap of the style in case anybody hasn't seen it But this is the kind of style that I really liked just Very minimal minimal color palette And then maybe pencils on top for some texture And I really like that style with the tracing paper and stuff So I'm still looking into that, but I don't know how feasible it will be. It's really good for creating Um depth within the piece, but I still need to explore it a little bit further And yeah, I really like this style of just pinks and blues I think it's very a very odd color palette to choose for For a horror comic, but whatever I like it. So I'm gonna do it The stream is lagging too much for my internet. Is it me or is it your internet? I hope not Thanks wonderful for dropping by anyway Simple is good. That's right. I think so too um, yeah I hope I is is the stream okay for everybody else Because it's the first time I'm using my phone So I'm sorry if it's not not quite good enough Oh, no It's very annoying I hope it's not lagging forever on Morning Jeff The sound works okay. Well, that's something right Totally frozen typical Yeah, I don't know how feasible streaming off my phone is because it's a bit old but I wanted to give it a shot because um Obviously I can do traditional work because I don't have a camera that can stream My traditional stuff. So I have to kind of maybe look for one It's just frozen on your hand for 10 years Oh, dear Maybe if I refresh if you guys all refresh Will it work if you refresh the page? Oh, dear Okay, well Is it working now? It was it was Yes, Dina did get a pop-up message you were correct That was why that's really annoying Okay, now it's working You can see my elaborate set up here. I've got this mini easel and then my my uh rig Rig on my arm up. Okay. So hopefully that's better Sorry about that guys. I can't I couldn't screen so But Dina was correct I have a very steady hand. That's right Oh, it's so it's so blurry. I hope it clears up a bit now that it's still Oh, it's making me feel a bit watch back and feel a bit sick Sorry guys. Well, that was I thought I was like I would have to stop streaming then glad no Yes, the setup is amazing, right? It took me 10 minutes Such a professional setup That's what you come to expect right guys through my channel gosh Thank you for coming to the stream and watching my video who's Yeah, it's working. Hey everybody. If I missed saying hi to you We had a little bit of a meltdown, but it's all fine now This is the morning chill stream What's everybody up to I'm really interested. Are you all either going to bed or waking up? Obviously, you won't be asleep because how would you? How can you have so steady hands though when I draw my hands shake so bad? Oh, it's all in the elbow Gonna lock your your whole arm I've heard but I I find that really difficult as well My boyfriend's going. What's up? Can't I can't right now My phone is busy filming Yeah So, yeah, we had my friend over and I had a couple days by the pool and just chilling out and I think space and breaks give you time to reflect on stuff as well when you're doing creative work So I thought, you know what let's do this. Let's go all in and just have a mini mini break for a few days But now obviously I've got lots of work to catch up on Somebody said Bonnie says working now. Oh The stream's working now. You're not working now. Maybe you are working now, but uh Dina is coloring pages. You are so on it Dina I'm like still lagging behind with these final pencils because me and Dina Dina's obviously working on her book a children's book and I'm working on this comic But we're sort of doing it similar times. So we've been talking chatting Helping each other out but mine.  Is it frozen again? Oh Seems okay for me. Maybe my hand was just still. Oh, thanks Dina That's a really nice compliment Compliment I think because I was um working on my slice of life comic for just a year That when it came to me wanting to do a different comic. I was like, I really want to do Something different. So I think I've been craving like this style exploration a little bit random person says do you do digital art too? um Not really I would say like I'm Really competent in photoshop because I used to be a graphic designer. So I know like my way around photoshop and stuff And I do like sorry about the cars go away car Okay, I do like doing um digital painting and stuff, but I'm not I'm not very Epic epic at it. Not very good at it. Anyway. Oh, that's weird. Uh meshiana Maybe you can refresh the page. I don't know All the miracle of refreshing the page is going to fix everything Sorry about the car. There's just the car outside deciding to just reverse here for some reason Okay, so that was bigger than I needed it to be damaged I'll just I'll do this and then I can fix it later Hmm Hey, I'll just rub this on I really like working on this as well with ensuring everybody the process because Everyone always has a lot of good feedback to give me which is really helpful And like telling me what they like and things so it's really useful because I feel like You guys are my audience and you're the type of audience who would read my work So knowing what you guys like is really useful This is all over the place now. Yeah, I rubbed that out I am just using this mechanical pencil um, I don't it doesn't have a brand so But it's just it's kind of a sturdy mechanical pencils nothing I don't think it's anything special I never liked using mechanical pencils. I was always a like 5b kind of person and I didn't like But now I you know, I've gotten really into it for some reason over the past year or so it was like actually this feels very nice Quite nice to use it I'm also drinking coffee as anybody else drinking some beverages That's my thing to talk about now I love the stickers on your sketchbook. Ah, thanks Yeah, I got them from a comic-con Gibraltar comic-con I went to recently and I don't have the name of the artists here I had their Business cards, but these are the same artists and these are the same and I really like them And the person who made these definitely mega undersold because I think she sold them for like a pound for both of them or something or like something really cheap and then Her printing costs were really expensive. I was like, no Don't do this and she was like, well, I wouldn't sell them otherwise. I'm like, okay next time try and print them cheap Or I don't know. It was really But she's a really good artist. So it was a shame to see Her having to undersell herself, you know kind of thing. Oh iced coffee nice Oh, I should have made this a nice coffee because it is boiling here If you're in the UK, it is hot I forgot about my coffee and now it's cold just as a mice to it Problem solved Probably gonna have to rub this completely out and put it over though I think I am going to be cutting all these bits out. So I think it's fine as long as they're not touching the panels aren't touching Who likes tea instead of coffee? I think a lot of people really I think that's fair enough coffee is pretty heavy I didn't like coffee for years and then in university we had this Erasmus scheme, which is basically Something to do with the EU when you go over and you Do like projects with People from other schools in other countries within the EU and we went to Sardinia And I remember it was just like the end of my degree that we went So we just finished our like final projects the week before and then we were off to Sardinia a few of us from my course And it was so tiring because the hotel that we well the apartments that we stayed in was about half an hour walk From the actual university. So every day we'd walk about an hour But we'd have to work really late because we all have these campaign projects this animations to do and within a team But we had to finish it by the end of the week So we were all just late nights and then everybody wanted to go out drinking and stuff because obviously you that's the whole point Not the whole point, but The whole point was to meet other people from other schools and countries and collaborate and things. So It was exhausting So I was like i'm gonna try coffee because i'm tired And I basically forced myself to drink this coffee and I hated it, but I was like it's helping me So I cut that's when the the addiction began On your third cup of mocha right now. Wow Here's my thing Yeah, I like um green tea and fruity teas. I'm not a huge fan of Normal tea Which is surprising because i'm english. So apparently we all love tea I'm very quiet My friend just left. Yeah, she was kind of she stayed Um since monday to right now, which is if you're confused all the time it zones it's Midday for me friday So we're just hanging out. It was really fun We did a tapas crawl which is basically when In spain you go to a bar and you have like one tapper or food like a little dish or something Whatever you prefer and then you have like one drink and then you go to the next Restaurant place and you have one thing and you all share and it's it's really fun But it was a lot of alcohol and a lot of food So I wasn't feeling very well the next day, but it was great 10 out of 10 would do again I've got some friends coming over in september So i'm hoping to take them on a tapas run Adina a you like most teas just not black black current Oh, okay Have I read harry potter? Yes, I love harry potter I am a hufflepuff And I remember years ago telling all my friends at uni that I was a hufflepuff and everyone laughed But now it's cool to be a hufflepuff And I was like, yeah, I'm loyal And work hard take that Yeah, you're also a hufflepuff I think a lot of people are hufflepuff these days like we were all too Scared of the The backlash would get when we were younger to admit that we're hufflepuff and I was like, yeah, we're hufflepuff Hufflepuffs, you know boring griffin door I don't think that's boring. That's like the main house really It's the main I mean the main character's house. So it's kind of you I'm Ravenclaw. That's pretty cool. I always thought, you know Ravenclaw was so cool because you you have to be intelligent And I was like, I'm not really intelligent So I'm not Ravenclaw, but I wish I was I don't know where my tracing paper is.  I felt like they were taking such a long time Oh, I didn't really show you guys this very well Uh, yeah, that's the the final rough pencils are going to move this over though But it shows me like how it will look I'm going to do it smaller than a4. This is a4 right now. So I'm going to shrink it down But obviously working larger to smaller is good because it makes the the picture crisper I hope that makes sense. I'm obviously going to scan these in and do some digital stuff to them afterwards Page is done Need another one. I hate this page because I really don't like The way she looks here or he looks cool, but I don't like this design So I think I'm just going to draw her Read your her go to the top I'm Slyverine. Oh I like Slyverine's though. I tend to be friends with Slyverine's If that makes sense Like a lot of my friends are Slyverine's so I'm like, yeah, you're cool I think everyone's cool if you read Harry Potter, you're cool in my book So it's fine. Oh try tea is a brand of tea. I get yeah. Oh this one You like that panel? Sorry if I'm like shaking the table of stuff not used to I'm used to being able to edit my videos So this is me unedited guys Slyverine How's it going Connie? Anyway, how are you? How's everybody? Random person says I have a Slyverine friend We get along but we also don't get I get you I think I think good friends are the ones that you kind of can argue with and then be best friends with That's when you're most comfortable, right? I think she looks better now. Um, let me show you Can't really see it through Oh, you can just see my forehead. That's very nice, isn't it? Waiting for watercolor to dry. That's pretty cool That's another thing that I realized that I usually I like watercolor and I'm not using any watercolor on here Which I think is kind of a shame so I might explore Using that somehow. Yeah, maybe I just have to let that go for this one and do like watercolor painting or something another time Connie, I love the curve of her drawer. Can't explain it. It just hit me. It's going quite weird a house Caught fire yesterday and it was so close. Oh, that's scary Yeah, we had um Because it's obviously gets really hot here in the summer I live by the south of spain kind of thing and um, there was a massive forest fire. Yes, uh Not yesterday Not yesterday two years ago right next to our house and we all had to evacuate the area and it was really scary and it's pretty awful, but Like two years yet later you go and look at the place It's right next to us and everything's grown back and it just shows you how resilient nature can be Because it looks like oh, this is never gonna grow back. It's all burnt. Like it was for miles to the next sort of town It was all all the trees were just ash and black chalk um chalk, what do I mean? Colt like coal. Do I mean coal?  Someone help me out. Anyway, it was all just, you know burnt up and it was really really crazy Now it's all fine again So that's yeah, that's scary though, especially next to your house. So I've been there. I remember We we had to come home early from work because I was working at the time because we saw that this massive Forest fire was next to our like our area of living And I remember coming home and my boyfriend just started playing the playstation I kept being like, what are you doing?  We didn't need to evacuate properly. So it was fine But I was still absolutely terrified Hi, Marie Oh, you love my sketchbook tours. Thank you. Well, when I finish more sketchbooks I think I'll do another halfway one for this But I think a lot of people probably already have seen a lot of the pages from the horror comic stuff My ready to flee bag was makeup really good job like It was at that moment that I realized maybe I should stop wearing so much makeup Chill out a bit Fire is good for nature. It makes everything grow, which is strange when you think about it Yeah, it's true. Um, I realized I heard that there was these trees that um In this area that don't burn So or when they do burn, they like release all their seeds and then they just regrow and it's really good for that type of plant Which is really strange, isn't it? Hi, everyone Which brand of fine liners do you recommend? Well, I'm not really a huge fan of fine liners But I I tried these micron pens that obviously people have been using Because they work watercolor. They don't smudge or anything and I was like, what that's amazing. So Yeah, I'm using these micron Pigma Uh, are they pigma pigma micron pens? Those are really good. So check those out if you can and yeah Who's asked something? Sorry if this has already been asked, but You had a book and the reasons. Oh, yeah making comics By scott mcleod. I know somebody Oh, no I just dropped pens are all doesn't matter Um making comics by scott mcleod. It's such a good book. Honestly It just as well. It says stuff that you don't even I wouldn't I hadn't even considered Before it's like I don't know how to explain it definitely if you want to get into comics Give it a give it a go.  Anyway, it's just gonna take time to read it And I don't think I've ever read it from a whole way through which is a shame because I should And he's such a good artist as well, but I just use it every now as reference If I'm stuck on something then I'll look it up Um, and it really helps me out I didn't expect to wake up to a stream. Nice surprise. Hello Lisa I would be fleeing though. I would be looking fabulous. That's true And what else uh, what are my favorite art to art channels? Well, obviously Casey golden dean and all and and xanthi and they're all on my main page and um Oh and color halt creations They're all on my page as a list of friends if you want to check out their channels as well You probably know know them all anyway Soil next to it volcanoes are very rich. That's interesting So all how nature works really, isn't it? Like the phoenix from the ashes kind of thing. Ooh Maybe that's why phoenix exists. I mean the myth the lore of it Just rambling nonsense now, aren't I? classic stuff One time in high school. I made a manga for a group project and I do illustrations My hand hurts and bad afterwards and the manga was horrible. No, sure. It wasn't that bad I remember when I was probably in middle school When I was probably about 11 or 10 We had this project to do a story and they said we could do comics as well And I was like I'm definitely doing a comic and I have I wish I had kept it or my parents had kept it But I'm pretty sure it was about me being a superhero which is hilarious And I remember just being like this is hard. I'm never doing this again But here I am How many years later Trying to make it my career Have I watched doodle date? Yes, I love doodle date. They're really nice and cool and I like their stuff Do I know pick candle? I don't know them. I know jake parker I think I know vex. Yeah, there's a lot of artists now on youtube. Um, I like particularly like Illustratory style of people who do sort of vloggy stuff as well And I like challenge. I like people who don't do challenges as well. I think that's quite fun Obviously, I hope that my channel kind of reflects that I like doing what I Would have seen other people create Usually when we have projects like that I like writing a poem Is that because you like writing poems or do you think that's like easier? I don't know Obviously poems are not easy. I'm not saying that they're just insult you completely. Don't mean it like that I don't know how to pronounce your name, but you say I love watching your videos while I draw. Thank you That's so cool to hear Hopefully you're drawing right now if you're not, you know waking up or going to bed or whatever I've always I've always wanted to get kind of get into um poems because I obviously love storytelling and all different forms of like narrative dialogue Do I mean like narrative things and words and stuff? So I always was thinking I should be into poems and I just never could Get into it I always think I was just not smart enough, I guess to understand them or Convey what I was feeling well enough To not just being like silliness from me anyway Other people are very impressive In Gibraltar we have um people doing Poems like poetry sounds and stuff and I think that's just like amazing I can't imagine because I feel like if you write a poem you're kind of bearing your soul a little bit so Then reading a workout to a group of people is very very scary to me Issa says oh I find writing poems both easy and fun. I'm good at them. Oh, that's cool Yeah, I think um The streams are always a bit. I always find that people's streams are always a bit delayed from the chat So I'm sorry if I'm answering it a bit late But hopefully you don't mind me just rambling on in between your answers Piles of paint. Oh, that's great.  Yeah, I want to make I want to make streams a regular thing I hope my my my phone is good enough, but I don't know if it is Art arts can be so bearing. Yes. Yes, it can But I think poetry is very is very specific to Being your emotions on a page whereas art you can kind of hide behind it a bit you can be like Oh, this is this is this character Um, yeah, they do this like you you're not really like this is me. I don't know, but it can be of course it can be I just think poems are very that specific style Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know much about poem poetry. So I'm probably talking absolute cabbage cabbage guys I am a spider who makes webs and walls.  That's cute I like that spiders eat flies as well.  So I have to go back and explore that But I really like kind of the wobbly aspect of the backgrounds. I think that would work I have to go to work here in Argentina at 7 a.m. Are Yeah, I'll leave the stream up. I probably will unless I say, you know, we'll do something really embarrassing But bye Thanks. So thanks for stopping by There are poems that are quite literal and you need to look very deep into them to find what the author wants you to find Yeah, exactly. That's the kind of thing that stops me because I'm like, what do they mean? And I hope I've understood that and it hasn't gone over my head Oh my cats are fighting Wouldn't be a stealth video about uh, the cats having a little cat wall, would it? There's a poem about rain and clouds With like the words per second set per sentence. Oh, do you mean like a haiku? Is that Is that a thing or a limerick? Different types of poems aren't they? I could never I could never get it very quiet It's very chill morning over here just birds singing sun is up sky's blue Oh, it feels like a Some random words thrown around to attempt to sound deep. Yeah, I can be I think some people Yeah, they can be it can be pretentious for some people, but some people really Mean it and I guess they have a greater understanding of what they're trying to the world To us the audience, I guess or maybe it is, you know, just for them. They don't care if you get it or not kind of thing Morning, uh, gio gio Butler, sorry if I'm butchering your names I think that is the hardest task of the youtuber is not butchering anyone's names Oh, no, there's a fly here and kuba who's set his sights on it kuba don't jump up here, please Dina says oh my god, I just had a chat with my dad and he got an original a3 disney animation sketch For his birthday from a friend. That's amazing Oh, that's so cool. Imagine having that just in your house and framing it. That would be so nice Issa, but since it's by famous author famous Um, there must be a reason for it. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean I always think that oh if I've read some, you know, if somebody else if a publisher has published this There must be a reason for it even if I don't understand it. So that's where I that's where I limit myself with the Poem these stuff because I'm like, I'm obviously not smart enough for this. I'm not impressed. But yeah I don't understand this so fine No, Dina No Remember that guy on your stream Dina who said oh girl. I can't remember He said then it came from them. Um people just say he just said no all the time to them. So they just called him no I thought that was a really funny story kind of stuck with me Oh a glen keen sketch would be amazing Even claire. Is it claire keen? Her daughter Is such a good artist. I don't know if you've seen her stuff But she does amazing concept stuff and she did such great work on Rapunzel I mean tangled And yeah, it's great. I have that art book here. Oh, I have it right here right next to me One of the chances so let's look at it Yeah, um, let me find some stuff by her Now I won't find anything by her it'd be typical. I think she did this But she's amazing like can you imagine your dad being glen keen though? And the ultimate This is glen keen These are all glen keen He's amazing if anybody doesn't know who he is He is like basically the king of animation and he animated tazen and the beast I'm muting the beasts and stuff and oh here she is claire keen And I love love love her stuff She's kind of a rough artist like me but much much better She does pain-tilly pain-tilly stuff as well. I think oh and mary blair She was a very big influence on sleeping beauty And I absolutely adore her stuff as well I think it's very interesting that she was kind of a head a lead artist At the time that's claire keen At the time where there wasn't many women working in disney animation so Yeah, pretty pretty interesting. I love stuff like that I'm glad I have that art book that I Look at really Glen keen is amazing like he's the king isn't he? Yeah, claire keen is very nice like her colors everything Actually almost cried when glen was talking about how he puts his wife and daughter in and oh, yes He puts them in the animations and oh, yeah, that's so cute, isn't it? What was it when? Have you ever seen the animation? I think it's called finding sleeping beauty And it's all a documentary about the animators and disney and stuff and it Is it called finding sleeping beauty? You might know correct me if i'm wrong and it's such an amazing documentary and it's so sad And it just shows you like all the talent that's behind all these movies that we love and amazing It's funny how artists have so many books about art. Yeah, I think because We just want to be inspired. I think inspiration is something that you need to keep topping up If you get what I mean, like we kind of need to keep The momentum of a project going you need to get re-inspired by other artists for sure Especially amazing amazing ones. You know what I mean? Like it's something to aim for You can only but dream You have zero books about art Oh I remember going through a real phase When I was because I studied animation in university I went through a massive phase of just wanting all the art books that I could get my hands on and there was um What's it called that movie kung fu panda? They had the most amazing art Of book for that and like different character designs and facial expressions and stuff turnarounds and stuff And my friend had it because she had shelves wall-to-wall of all these art books And she was my housemate so I could look at it anytime I wanted and I remember at one point because it was out of print It was It was up for sale for about a thousand pounds because it was so good And I don't know if they did a re I think they recently did a reprint of it But that was one of those books that was just like I wish I had bought that So I could scan it and then just sell it for a lot of money Yeah at the time when you're a student you're like a hundred pounds or so much money To be honest, I'm still a little bit like that The studios any recommendations the studios you've the art books are really good um Some of them do fall a little flat and they they feel a little bit I mean art books are of books They feel a little bit like they're An afterthought But the tangled one is really good because I just think the art for that is so stunning But if you if you ever want to get an art book and you're not sure which one to get them just look up online and The art of and then whatever movie you you like and you can see you can probably see all the artwork within the Within with on google So you can decide if that's the type of book that you want Because I think some of them can be a bit of a disappointment. I've got one that is um Disney animation vaults and it was just like sell drawings of lots of um Work but there wasn't much um description or reasoning It was just like look at these drawings that they are artwork, but I don't think I would look at them very often for You know inspiration Brave is really cool. Oh, I never I haven't got that brave book Oh Dean is getting breakfast. I I'm not judging you for not getting breakfast because I don't really eat breakfast to eat it rarely. I just have coffee, which is really bad for you. I know But I just I don't I don't like eating in the morning If somebody was to give me food, I probably wouldn't let it, you know, I wouldn't deny them that Yeah Recently discovered that there's this takeaway next to where I live But it actually does a really nice Spanish breakfast, which is tostada and tomatoes Tomatoes And it's so good from there And I didn't realize just this like greasy Takeaway place because we went to go to this cafe that's near and it was shut So we were like, oh, let's just go to the takeaway see what they have like maybe they have toast and coffee and stuff And it was so good like the in Spain It's basically bread. Then you put olive oil And then they have these blended tomatoes. It doesn't sound very nice, but it's delicious But it's cold like I see cold tomatoes and you put them on in a bit of salt and it tastes so good It's very nice and it fills you up Connie, I accidentally had two breakfasts.  Yes, nauseous nauseous times. I get a bit nauseous. I remember But then you do get a pass that if you start eating again in the morning.  Well, no, I don't forget.  I should eat lunch now. I kind of Don't think about it. This guy's hands are really weird and fix them later I just got a cold so I don't have to So I really don't I really hope I don't have to go to the gym Or somebody forcing you to go to the gym Don't go to the gym if you don't want to go Yeah, the cold tomatoes. I'm really craving it now that I've said it and it's so cheap. It's like, um Because I ordered a coffee and then you get like two bits of bread and the tomato and the olive oil and everything for like three euros Um or four euros for everything which is probably about Three pounds or two dollars or something. So it's really great Cold tomatoes sounds strange. It's like they blend the tomatoes up Well, they I think they take the skins off and they blend them up. So it's kind of like Gespacho but thicker and then you just put it on your toast. So it's like a spread but it tastes so good It sounds gross if you've never had it before It sounds he probably like, yeah, whatever sounds disgusting. What's going on? It's delicious. You've got to try it if you ever go to Spain Tostada, which is toast. You guys can remember that one Yeah, it's a little bit like bruschetta a little bit The toast is warm and Mario cold and you have the olive oil underneath and salt and it just Everything just works And if you ever try to make it yourself, it just doesn't taste as good Because I've tried a couple of times just like how how how did they make this? And I've had a few friends that I've come over and they have that and they would make that like their staple breakfast And then they move to London or something and they can't they can't get it there like authentically the same And then they would try to make it and it just doesn't they said they just doesn't taste the same like it doesn't it's not as good Maybe it's the the whole thing of somebody making food for you is always better though, isn't it? Oh, I'm not forced to but I already skipped Monday and Tuesday. I was traveling and I feel bad for not going fair enough then Yeah, but I can understand that Me and Chris have recently taken to doing lots of walking Because I just think it's really good for me to get out the house and stuff But since my friend has been here, we haven't walked much because She has a bit of a bad knee so she can't walk very fast So we kind of stopped doing that, but today I think they're probably going to go for a long walk It's so hot here though. So it's very tiring Oh, they great tomatoes and sometimes with garlic on the bread. Yes similar I don't I don't I haven't had it with garlic, but maybe it's more of an Andalusian Um thing to have it just without the garlic and more olive oil I was in Hawaii once and we never ate breakfast for the week How come? I want to go to Hawaii so much. You guys seen Tara's house when they're in Hawaii and it's like Looks so good Just looks so nice there everything like, you know Dream holidays and it Although I think because it's summer now a bit more into going a cold place for a holiday Once you've had summer for a little bit you kind of get sick of that heat, don't you?  Oh, I know what you mean when they rub the clothes on the bread like that, right? Yeah, I've seen that I never had that though Tara's house is amazing. It's so good I'm watching shamefully. I'm watching love island, which is kind of a It's a uk show a little bit like big brother But they put these couples into his house in the sense that they have to couple up with each other and it's very trashy So it's kind of like a horrible version of It's like a horrible version of Tara's house Tara's house isn't a nice version of it Where everybody is a nice person and they make you want to be nice people I think I still have The season when they're in the countryside I still have that to watch And I don't know why because I was really excited about it So I was I was like I can't wait and do you guys ever have that thing where you're looking forward to something? So much that when you When it actually arrives you're like, oh, I want to be you kind of put off watching it or reading it or whatever You don't want it to be over. I guess I should just watch it. Shouldn't I? Okay, so this is like the basic lines for The characters and then I'm gonna work on the background separately because I think I'm gonna Cut out the tracing paper bits Oh, I didn't do her mouth. Oh my gosh Let's see. I can do her mouth without having to look at this, right? This is so funny. He looks so small.  I'm speaking to Fiona who says Oh, oh just down the coast for me. She lives down the coast for me and has lived in spain for 35 years So, you know more than me probably They probably add some spices though. I hurt my knee doing a split. It still hurts ouch. I hope you get better.  No, you're not No one is old No one is old you hear me That was silly, wasn't it? So yeah, these are the three pages that I've done so far the first one I'll show you properly I need to do him because I think I'm still really unsure on his character So that's the first page obviously these are just final pencils for Their faces and stuff because I'm gonna cut it out and then do the backgrounds. I'm repeating myself in case anybody Missed it and that's the second page. I need to move that over But as I said, I'm gonna cut this stuff out. So it should be fine and then That's the one I just did And I need to work out the background for the lighthouse because it didn't look so good Well, I didn't like it as much as I thought I would before so I need to work on more backgroundy stuff Dina says I need a t-shirt that says that says what I missed something Oh that I'm old Your legs are purple ouch Be careful everybody. Please Hello from Antigua Oh, sorry I said that and then realized you're being a bit rude with mean don't be mean to me I'm just a little baby channel I might miss some people's stuff because I'm busy working on drawing that I don't know how to make somebody a um moderator I'll figure it out later. I forgive you Karina It's fine. Just remember I'm a person too Just try my best This is the next page I think this is one of my favorite pages because there's so much back and forth dialogue between the two characters and you get a good sense of her Um, I think it establishes her really well. I'm sorry about the cars outside again Somebody is just reverse. Just I need to reverse up and down near where I am I guess pole dancing. Yeah, you probably get a lot of bruises doing that As long as you're okay with it, you know, you do you Oh, I only get bruises sometimes when I hit myself with weights. Ouch I have a question now. Was Sherlock popular in the uk the bbc one. Um, yes, very popular I really like that show as well. It's very good Um I'm not sure about the trope of oh, he's a genius. He's he must be an asshole kind of you know what I mean Like they're doing that a lot now Um, but I think he was sort of one of the first ones except for house Is it similar dynamic? Isn't it to him and house? I'm a genius.  So I'm not gonna complain We like our main characters with a bit of bite, don't we? It's getting late here in Australia So I have to go. Oh, thank you for coming by Uh, good night. Sleep well So strange chatting to people who for me because it's so it's morning and they're like, oh, it's late here and Obviously time zones are a hard thing to grasp but not really We do love the last panel on this page. Her eyes show so much emotion. Oh, thank you Yeah, I think I think this is when you kind of get a sense that she's a very nervous person I hope anyway I used to play volleyball and I quit because I kept getting hit by the ball more often than I Then you hit it. Oh, no I am not very good at sports. So I completely understand you I'm a very good swimmer though. That was my time to shine remember and pee we'd go Swimming classes and I just completely destroyed everybody else Like beat them in the races and stuff and then suddenly had everyone's respect for like a day But then it was gone again when we tried to play any ball kind of games Do we know why she's moving into the lighthouse? Not really I think I I haven't said it in the story, but obviously she's just looking for a place And then there's this guy who Who is showing her somewhere that she wants to live and she kind of gets surprised by it. She doesn't know It's going to be a lighthouse But then I think she she likes it So she decides that she's going to take it and I did have it originally that oh, she couldn't afford anything else But then I realized that doesn't make any sense because the lighthouse would be quite Expensive so I realized that I wanted to make her be a bit rich richer than I had originally planned So now she she falls in love with the lighthouse a little bit even though it's scary to her And I feel this isn't really said in the story But for me knowing her backstory and who she is I feel like she moved there to Prove that she could do it to herself because it is a bit of a creepy place to live But she's like no, I have to get over my anxieties and you know Leave my life and stuff. So I hope that comes across within the story Obviously can't say it all within the short story but Me knowing her backstory is kind of helping me write Right along what's going to happen to her and stuff I'm obviously talking about the story of this comic. I'm doing in case anybody's confused I don't want you to be confused Yes, it's been really fun working on this though I've honestly been it sounds really horrible, but I've been pretty impressed with myself For how far I've come from it because I really I was so intimidated. I was like, what am I doing? This is a bad idea. This is not going to work I don't know how to do a horror comic even though I've always wanted to do something within the horror genre because I really like horror stories horror films So, yeah, but it's been great. Maybe after this I can do more and stuff And improve because obviously this isn't going to be the perfect project by any means but I think we learn in doing so Any mistakes I make on this one. Hopefully I can improve on in the next comic that I do or story that I write Hello, yeah, yeah dust Hope I said your name right Oh seven thirty seven a.m for me. So I have a whole day in front of me. You do Issa. Oh, yeah round the twist Maybe she's a fan of round the twist. Maybe she is. I remember that show That was a really weird show, wasn't it? Oh, you just maybe remember that And all the weird like was it like paranormal or was it just like magical stuff would happen in this show Called round the twist In case you don't know what I'm on about round the twist is was this old kids show And they all lived in a lighthouse and then magical things would happen So I don't know if I've been subconscious. Sorry the car um subconsciously inspired by that Did I watch hereditary? No, but I've heard about it The thing is I I love horror films, but my boyfriend hates them So I and I like watching them with people watching them alone. It was a bit me Although I have done that a lot in the past Um, but he was talking about it and he was just saying like how scary it was because I don't know why he had that Fascination with it the film hereditary, but then never wants to watch it I was like, let's watch it if you want to and he's like nope. No way So I have to wait for like friends who who like horror films as well and then watch a load of different horror films with them Because I prefer it to watching them on my own I really like I think horror films are such an interactive experience a little bit unless they're subtle Because then you you know when you have jumps and stuff you all laugh it off and you can talk about all what's happening I don't know for me. I prefer it Seeing how you've planned out this comic has really helped motivate me to start my own story. That's awesome Really love hearing that that's such like the best compliment to ever hear for me because That's why I like to watch in youtube because people inspired me So I'm hoping that this channel is inspiring other people I've been really um Little woodward says I've been really trying to plan my comic, but I sometimes struggle on how to get from a to b Hmm. I know what you mean and sometimes I think I used to do this thing where I you know from a to b I would add make it really convoluted and add lots of things and maybe you could look at your comic and And see what you could take away like edit down anything because I think that really helps And also get fresh eyes on it because sometimes we get so into a project that we don't really see The mistakes that we're making so if you show somebody else they might be able to Be nice, but critical of it You're dust. I'm a huge weenie. I can't watch horror films. No, that's fair. I can understand not liking horror films completely because Um, like one of my friends was like, I don't want to go to watch a horror film and be scared Like why would I want that? That's not a nice experience. Like I'm not gonna go And do that. No, thank you. So I yeah, I can understand not liking them. I think I just like the adrenaline and I always and the kind of Sick fascination we have with these these horror films. I think you know, it leaves room for It also leaves room for the characters to be really vulnerable within the story that normal stories don't really have so it has that edge of excitement like will they survive or What will happen to them? What's I think it has a depth in that sense But Dina average my eyes are fresh fresh eyes. Oh, I'm your fresh eyes. Lol. I totally read that wrong Your eyes are fresh though as well, do you know? I was your fresh eyes. So yeah And I hopefully helped what you said I helped so I did paranormal imaginable Australian TV show it was a weird one. Oh round the twist For one episode the eldest son did a wee on the tree and it ended up pregnant. No way Is that really did that really happen? That's hilarious That is a really weird show Issa, I'm slowly illustrating a small story. I have 22 pages of writing that I need to break down into pieces And along the way change a lot of the writing. Yes, very hard. Good luck with that The writing is sometimes the most difficult part because it Well, I don't know it depends because it it depends what you're into really, but it's all about working stuff out And sometimes you just don't You can't visualize it unless you draw like a character and then you can visualize it and things like that It depends on your process Hi Ja, Navi. Sorry. I'm featuring your name You love my sketching and design process. Thank you I remember there was an episode around the twist with a creepy doll that came to life Really? Do you guys remember Are You Afraid of the Dark? I used to love watching that as a kid. It was just like it was kind of like a rip-off goose goosebumps Thing where they would do horror stories for like teenagers and kids And it was on Nickelodeon, I think And he still loved watching it But I would also be terrified after watching it and I remember there was one episode with like a clown doll And it would come to life and just watch like the kid in the bedroom and I was like Yeah, and I still have that like visual in my head. This looks weird But I love yeah, I don't know why I just like being scared I watched it recently. Well, not recently like we came out in the cinema and absolutely like no film for some reason it got me and it really Scared me and I was a mess for ages afterwards And I don't know why because I watched so many horror films, but that one just got me I think I don't like clowns. It must be that But I've never I've never acknowledged my fear of clowns and now I have a proper fear because of that film And other people have been like what it's not that scary and I can see why People wouldn't find it that scary, but I was I was traumatized Lai says exactly I can't write it all so coming up with a script It's such a struggle but drawing concepts for characters is so much easier for me Oh, yeah, that's that's tough if you don't like writing that's can be really hard But I think it if you prefer the drawing side, then you should just um keep doing the drawings and then the characters kind of they'll come out They'll reveal who they are to you if you keep drawing them and maybe you can think of different things that they might Who they might be and then in that sense you can come up or Not come up but like write the story a bit easier So that's my recommendation if you guys don't like writing then just draw more and then get to the writing But if you're making comics, then I would suggest making a script because it just makes everything so much easier To have the story down from the beginning Jennifer says I watched are you afraid of the dark nose kid? Yeah, I love that show And they would have the Society opening bit where they would all be around the camp like the kids would all be around the campfire And it was said that You know they made it clear that they were going to tell each other scary stories And I really liked that atmosphere and it was quite clever as well because In that sense it showed you as a teenager that they it wasn't real Because they were telling the stories So I think that was a clever clever way to present them to kids I'm trying to write a short story based off my dream. I started writing the initial draft and I feel very intimidated how to proceed I think Everybody is different But I think free like writing from A to B is very difficult like straight writing. It's called Because you're kind of walking down a dark corridor not expecting what you're going to see next But for some people it's really helpful to have a beginning middle and end And I know we all learn that in like primary school, but having it ending and something to aim towards is really helpful because Anything that happens in between that and then it's just fun So if you have the beginning and the end anything that you do is great Is just exploring and fun So that would make the writing process a little bit more enjoyable Also just write about things that you enjoy reading about is useful. So Write the story that you want to read So if you're enjoying writing it then your readers will probably enjoy reading it But if you don't enjoy writing and you think oh i'm bored of this it's just hard work Then that's how maybe your work might be perceived as a reader Yeah, I hope that's helpful, but it is pretty intimidating I think you just have to find the joy in it And that is always my advice because whenever i'm writing if i'm not enjoying writing I take a stop and I have a look at what i'm writing And i'm like is this going in the direction that I want it to go in And I need to rejig things around I need to think about things that excite me And genres that I enjoy and try to put that into my work. I hope that's helpful Confused swede, I love the history part of horror films What do you mean like the the backstory kind of things? Roof the Babadook is my version of it. I love it but it creeps me out so much Oh, yeah, the Babadook is a great film though. I watched that I think that's one of those films that I didn't really find that scary But I'm not going to spoil the ending but I think the ending left me like oh, okay I think it was scarier throughout but the ending of it I was just like Nope gross He he's just a horrible monster. Even though I know it's so silly It's so far removed from any reality it so I don't know why I find it scary because usually Usually when they reveal the monster that's when I Don't become scared like I'm always more scared when it's more subtle Also in the process of writing a comic but I have trouble deciding how I'll end without making it too cliche You know sometimes cliches can be good and sometimes they can be bad But I think if you're stuck on something and the characters are all saying to end it a certain way to you or your Inspiration or the way that you've done it is saying end it like this Then you should follow that and maybe you can add something to it to make it a little bit different Issa well, it took me about a week or two to write the story I would always do a little bit of story during class hit lol because I always finish things fast. There's nothing to do No, yeah, that's good. Working fast is can be a good thing. I have um I have a couple of friends who writes They're like a couple and they write books Once a month and they release them indie. They indie publish them On amazon and they make a career of that and I think that's really impressive, but I just don't I don't think that's my I don't think I could do that because it's so hard And it's such a lot of work And I think I work so slowly that I couldn't do that. So it's very I'm always very impressed by them They're a really good team They work super hard and they they get they're reaping the benefits of their hard work Which is good because I think people always deserve Especially when you kind of put yourself on the line a little bit Last year I needed two big scuffs during class Didn't anybody notice you knitting during class when you're told off. I would have been told off The story I'm making jennifer says the story I'm making a comic Oh, sorry. I'm completely reading that wrong. The story I'm making comic of was based on a dream I've mostly written out and it was hard to match the character's pose to what I've written Yeah, it's very hard. You just have to Do a lot of thumbnails I guess and work everything out Before hand before going to do the final thing and makes everything much easier I haven't seen a quiet place yet and I'm dying to see it And I feel I feel like that might be a film chris will be willing willing to give a go Because he's spoken about it and I was like, please can we watch it? And he's like no So maybe I can persuade him Um, I really really want to watch that though. It looks so good And I've heard great things and it's Jim from the office I think the hardest thing I'm finding with comics is script is usually mostly dialogue and I'm Too into trying to describe something even though you can see it in the comic Hmm I think that's where editing comes in. You've got to be really brutal with your work sometimes I read Stephen King's book called on writing which is really helpful It doesn't it's not necessarily helpful within comics, but I think As a general writing tool, it's helpful and he says this quote which is kill your darlings Which basically means just do it like edits things out even if you like them Like even if there's a big chunk of the story that you really like But it doesn't work within the story then just cut it out.  You have to be very hard on yourself And that might help you a bit With the um describing something because you know that You will see it in the comics so you don't need to describe it necessarily But you know that so I don't know why I'm repeating myself Oh, yes the backstory when they mix in actual historical stuff that has happened That's what confused sweet likes in the horror story. Yeah, I completely agree I think that's good One time my teacher walked in on me cussing. Uh-oh Bet that didn't work out so well for you did it. I would have been I would have been It would have been game over for me if that happened Although when I was a kid I like never swore I don't know why I thought it was so bad.  She's like ha ha stuff swore She like ran down the stairs to tell my mom and I was like, no, no, even though it was 17 You know I think I was past the age of swearing Dina says, oh, it's so good. What the quiet a quiet place I don't like scary films but I compared it to alien. Oh Oh, I really need to see that maybe I can play that off then to chris like it's more of a thriller than a scary film Like it's more like alien because he likes alien. So I think monster films are Probably more okay with him. I think he just doesn't like ghosty stuff Which is fair because I think like a lot of people have different things they don't like for whatever reasons Sine Hello, I just wanted to say I love watching your videos while I draw your channel has been one of my favorites And I always get excited when you upload. Oh, thank you so much So nice of you. Oh, everyone's so nice So lucky to have you guys around He said everyone knew I was knitting I even did it during recess, but I was a good student. So the teacher didn't mind I mean, yeah, that's fair enough if you can Get away with it. I think as well like when I when I'm When I was in class I think it would be really beneficial for me to do something creative as I was listening to the teacher or whatever like if I could doodle I think it really helped me remember facts because I think I'm more of a visual learner So like if I drew something and I'm trying to remember a fact I'm like, oh, I remember the drawing and then I remember the fact kind of helped Oh Random person. No, he literally just stopped and stared at me talking about the the teacher that came in and heard you swearing Yeah, I think as well like teachers It must be tough to be a teacher because you have to kind of call it whether you should be harsh on your student or not Then it's just like, oh, it's just, you know, everyone swears really eventually I don't think swearing makes you a bad person really at all. I actually heard online that um I've read a few times that it makes you It doesn't make you but it means you're an honest person Or you're more on you genuinely people who swear are more honest something like that And I think that's quite funny But I can see like why because you're just More open to swear. Maybe you're more open to tell the truth. I don't know This seems a bit silly now thinking about it, but I've read it online. It must be true That same teacher didn't even let me read a book. She is the Portuguese teacher and she didn't let me read a book Her existence there consists in making kids want to read That's weird. She wants she wants people to read but she didn't want you to read Ruth Young says my lecturer used to Let us draw during his talks because he said it would help us focus and take information better Wow, that's a good lecturer. I wish he was my lecturer because that's true For sure for me anyway We're discussing this book recently called sapiens. I think it's called and it's about like humans and Psychological things because my friend said that she read it and we were talking about she said that gossip Helps us learn actually And that's how we've developed us like a society based Organiser um, don't know Because we we learned from gossip and it's actually healthy for us to gossip And I realized because we were talking about Philip Gregory's books who is a historical novelist But basically she writes about king Henry the eighth and his wives and stuff like that But he does it she does it in a sense. It's sort of like a romance kind of Hmm Book but they're really good And we're both like now we know so much about king Henry the eighth and all this historical Facts that we would never know we'd never knew through school so we learned that Because we learned it through the books because it was like gossip and we were both like, oh, we're just normal people who like learn from gossip Doodling definitely can do that. It's sad that they only just learning about it. Yeah, that's true Because I always felt like Yeah, I would learn better if I could just sit and draw and obviously because As an artist, I guess most of us are visual learners. I'm not sure if that's a fact But I read that the reason why we are only just learning about visual stimulation is good for learning Is because in old Christian schools pictures weren't allowed Oh that old chestnut, eh It's typical Yeah, I don't know I think I think we're all learning slowly better and better methods of schooling of things because the school School system now is kind of dated anyways, and it's a bit Not everybody learns the same way And in that sense people feel like they're dumb because they can't keep up like maybe they're not technically Um Book smarts is the way to say it but they're smart in other ways And that can be really helpful for when you're older And and as well like I think I think a lot of times There's so much stress on people in school and it's just too much for like a young brain I don't know We could go into it. We could talk about it for hours. I could anyway But yeah, I think I don't know We're just kind of rambling about this now. I'm gonna change the world guys. No, you're not shush Sit down Steph Hey, Louisa Colourholtz creations in the house Don't know what that was. I apologize Ruth says yeah, it was refreshing and helped everyone feel relaxed. Yeah, I think that's really good You don't have to be under the iron iron thumb so much Dina my teachers just let me do them in class because They never managed to make me stop. Yep makes sense I would always fidget and lose interest and just watch and listen. I was going out completely That's nice I think that would be really nice to have teachers like that Well, not Well, not I guess it was more your attitude being like nope not stopping Hi tiny dog Yeet hamster bun yeet. Is that like a isn't that a a canadian thing the yeet thing? Yeah, so that's the next page Oh, maybe I should show you guys actually this Thing again because maybe some of you joined a bit late Or later than everyone else. Um, yeah, so I printed out I've taken the roughs that I was doing I was working on from here Scanned them in blew them up printed them out so I can go over the top with tracing paper and do rough pencils So here is like this is how the book will be basically Um, but smaller because I don't want to do a four.  Yes um So it'll probably be about this thick which is a decent size. I think for a short story Yeah, and now I'm just working on tracing over Some of the panels like fixing some of the pencils as much as I can to do rough pencils and then I'm going to I'm gonna cut each bit out and do some work with them Because the style that I'm doing is going to be the mix of Copic markers and pencils And yeah, I'm just going to do sort of a mixed media kind of look really to be honest Which I think will be really fun because it gives me a chance to Use a different style that I haven't used before an experiment and stuff Dina, I didn't get to doodle. I would zone out and not listen. Oh Oh Oh, if I didn't get to doodle. Yeah, I read that wrong Yeah, the same here. They should just let people doodle, right? Yeah dust says I am so glad I'm not in school anymore. Yes, same So same so many things that I was just not interested in learning about I remember I liked science. I hated maths. Maths was the worst.  I have a calculator. I'm fine You know, I like some people really like maths. That's fair enough.  I like drama. I liked science Just know just know to maths Colla Holt says I must say I love your desk whenever I see your videos. We've cleaned us.  So Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's correct Colla Holt says Colla Holt's creations is one of the channels that I was saying to check out guys before If you just click the three dots next to her name and then see channel, then you can see her stuff And she's really fun and I love her videos. Yay Issa says I'm the kind of student who can do whatever they want because I do everything they ask me to do So they don't bother me Oh, you sound like the student that I was not Yesterday I was listening to music on my phone while making some stuff and she just didn't say anything. Nice Very lucky. Well, I guess you work hard. So I guess you've earned it. Fine. Fine Colla Holt, I usually just shove stuff out of the frame. Yeah, I usually do that as well Bless just we're being real here. So this is me guys. I'm a mess. My love is a mess My desk is a mess. I'm drinking And He's so creepy This guy's so creepy. Oh, he's so creepy. I really liked streaming with you guys this morning. It's really been quite nice I used to be quite nervous about streaming, but this one's been really fun I guess I'm not showing my face. So that that helps a lot So maybe I just never show my face Just my forehead every now and again popping into the frame Oh, Colla Holt, you got that studio tour. Yes, our studio tour is really cool as well. Really interesting relaxing as well I do think you have a really relaxing manner the visa It's very nice I never understood where the camera is when you guys do this angle. Mm-hmm Yeah, I'm also just looking at my My camera now and being like, how am I doing this angle?  Usually usually I use my camera, but Because I'm live streaming. I can't use that. I had to use my phone. So I've got it like plugged in next to me And just hanging over and I've used sellotape and stuff to keep it in place because I'm a professional All some people shouting outside now Can you hear them It's either somebody shouting or they're just speaking very very loudly. Mm-hmm Chio, what is your secret? Do you have a drone above your head? I wish like that sounds like it would be a breeze Just get on with it. But no, you kind of have to think it took me a long time to To figure it out the way to do it Um, but I eventually I bought actually, I'll just show you guys Get ready to be moved. It's probably gonna be fuzzy So I've got this like sellotape. I've got this mini canvas easel thing But I found that could like make it rest quite nicely And then I've got this rig, which is what I use for my camera Which is like this tiny rig that I've attached to this tripod so I can put it over my work Yeah, so it's a bit of a workout. You have to work it out, but Took me a long time to realize I could film from This point downwards. So the camera would be over here facing down And then I could just flip the footage and it would look fine It took me a long time too long to realize that that would be good But yeah, it's fine now. I've worked it out now guys I did not see the tripod. Yeah, it's been there the whole time mind blown I'm gonna buy a parrot and train it to be my cameraman. I wish Wouldn't that be great? Having a cameraman just be good as well. Just be like, can you can you set this up for me? Because I feel like my knowledge and cameras and stuff is just so bad But I'm learning so That's good, right learning is always a good thing Well, he looks really small now. I'm gonna rub him out and do him again because As I was saying before I draw men sort of the same similar height to women And I realize I do want to do that. I want to make him quite Large and an imposing figure because it would make more sense That was fascinating. Wasn't it not really? It's quite funny my little ratchet Set up there Can you hear the people shout when Steph is trying to steer him? Yep They've gone now I think they were just having like they're walking because this is outside is a really quiet road to like a beach So there's rarely cars, but then sometimes they just get walkers And I think that walker was just having an argument with somebody just, you know outside my house deciding to Confuse sweet. I've always been taught to keep my story ideas to myself I was no more publish or support them. Do you agree? I really like to share stuff about my little scared Hmm, I think this is yeah, I think it's dangerous ground. It depends It depends on what you want to do Like if you want to traditionally publish something then it's better to keep something close to your chest You can obviously share it with Be to readers or people that you trust who aren't your family who will give you good criticism But then apart from that, then I wouldn't Share it too much. You can obviously do snippets and get maybe excitement for it But I guess if your aim is to get a publisher, then you need So if we're talking traditionally published things if you're an illustrator You need an illustrator agent who will Send your work to different publishing houses who will then hire you maybe or not hire you and if you have a A novel written you can send your you you send like an idea and a synopsis to agents Writing agents about your story and then they may choose to take that on board and then they will They will approach publishers for you that think that might be interested in your type of story So if you were doing that traditional route I would suggest keeping the story a bit close to your chest.  That's what I mean So you would need to get that hype up but you would be the person who's marketing your work So obviously if you can get some excitement a little up about it beforehand, then that's good It obviously depends what route you want to take And I honestly think that Publishers might not mind you showing a little snippets of your work here and there if you want to Still pubs traditionally published but obviously don't go too far and be like this is the whole story. You know what I mean? Uh, I'll buy you food Enjoy the gym. If you if you're not back later Perhaps the guy with the goat goat. Yes I like um indie music. Um, I like chilled music And I would be playing some music now, but I didn't really figure because this was um a bit of a Let me try to say A stream out of nowhere. So I thought you know what? I'm just gonna go for it because I'm scared to do it Sometimes you just have to dive in right and go for it. So I didn't figure out how to Set up music and then also be able to see comments because apparently I can't I can't put myself on mute on youtube for some reason on the ipad I think I'll probably figure it out later when I'm not under pressure, but still This guy's arm is gonna be like this. I think But yeah, it would have been nice to have some music as well Bye tiny dog. Thanks for stopping by Dina, I had the same thing Then I just decided to just share it and publish it myself which is fair enough like It depends what route you want to go because I know when you hand over something to a publisher you probably get less control over it and Different things happen and they'll edit it for you and stuff, but then they will also do all the marketing for you It kind of depends on what We're talking like top dog publishing houses here. Not Not smaller publishing houses smaller publishing houses.  Welcome Confused sweet. Thank you. I want to write illustrate children's books and a bigger story. I've been working on That's the thing as well that I've heard about big publishers is that they won't they don't like Unless unless you're amazing like a demi-god at illustration and writing They don't they like pairing an author and an illustrator They don't really like somebody who does the same thing at the same time It depends on the publishing house. So obviously there's obviously going to be some people who like that But that's what I heard anyway because I went to Years ago. I went to this um course from random house of people who Published harry potter and it was all about finding a agent and there was a couple there who had written and drawn their own Their own book like children's book and they were advised that it would be rare for them to get picked up because Usually they people in the publishing houses like to pick the in-house illustrators for stuff and uh, yeah, like I think that's interesting to know but I think I don't know if they were just saying that to this couple to be kind to them because maybe they didn't see it happening for them, but Those were that was a talk from like a few agents, which was really handy for me at the time because Um, if you don't know I published a self-published um novel Which is a young adult fantasy book And for years I kind of sat on it and I was like, oh, I want I want to traditionally publish this I want to send this to publish so I looked really researched all this stuff quite heavily And then I have these friends who indie publish all their books So I thought I just want to publish this because it's been a project that I've been working on for so long I just kind of want to let it go Otherwise it will be one of those things that is just always I will always have you know, so And I would have had control over it and things and I just wanted to do it and I think I think as well like I want to write more books.  No, it's quite high up And I've never done a live stream like this. So maybe in the future, I'll hit my head. Never know One can dream Random person, she says, I mean there are a lot of short men in reference to this making him taller Yeah, there are and I have used that I've said that in the past But I think I want to have a bit of a dynamic difference between them Seeing as they are kind of the only two Characters that show up in the book. I want to have different visual interest on both of them. If that makes sense I hope it does Pixie, I've had a friend get a book publisher with a big publisher not one of the giants for deaf and big Deaf and definitely big And they didn't spend much of the marketing for a book compared to others. So there's also that oh, yeah, that's true Like it all depends as well. I guess How much the publisher want to put into you like back you up and stuff? I guess you don't really have a much sway Or say over that Dina, but I think if you create your own book and self-publish you can use that Work as a portfolio and show that you have the ability to do it. Yeah, definitely I think any work that you can Create big project or small project is always going to be a bonus for you It's always going to be something you can add to your portfolio Then they commission you for their own stories and books. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, Dina, you can do it. I see you I see you doing it Doing whatever your heart desires. I think you can make that happen Kind of how all the horror comic contains a virus which makes men all shrink Yes, or I my my drawing style Is a virus that makes men shrink more like well I think it was always it's always been a massive dream of mine to be able to be published by a big publishing house I think when I was like a teenager I started writing and I and I thought yeah one day I'm going to be published by Random house or somebody and it's going to be amazing and it's just like no You know when you're when I was young I had all these dreams and I was like, yes, it's going to happen and now I'm like maybe That's not the way though. Is it guys you've got to still hold on to your dreams Still make it happen. Maybe one day Just need to get better at everything. I think I would have loved to have studied writing or something within uni Would have been fun, but I chose animation And I'm like, why did I do that? I think because it was you know the idea of being able to draw and write Was great to have I thought like that was going to be my dream and then I realized it was really really hard And I wasn't so Into it as I thought and then I realized the comics are more my thing more my style Pixie says I really want to self-publish my own poetry book to be honest Just have it out there to be read by like my mum and two friends Maybe self-publishing seems less hassle to me if you're not aiming for fame Well, I honestly think that Probably 98.9 percent of authors who even get traditionally published are not going to be famous I think it's such like a A difficult thing to do and there are so many authors out there So I think like self-publishing has always been kind of this Not frowned upon but there's a stigma a stigma to it, but it doesn't there shouldn't need to be that It's just because some people don't Want to go that route and I think it's fine and doesn't mean like your books are bad or anything. It just means That's what you've decided to do and you can instantly share stuff and sell stuff for yourself and Make a business out of your own work, which I think is really cool And it gives you the control over yourself in your own work, which yeah, like I said that is The the bonus of doing that obviously it's hard work because you're doing everything by yourself But there's benefits to it And if you enjoy the work and you just keep publishing stuff Then that's that's the way to go right you just got to do what you love Follow your heart guys Because eventually it will pay off Especially if you work hard enough Lee says I'm always scared to sell my own work because I end up doubting if it's good enough I mean Like I sell my stuff and it doesn't do very well But that doesn't matter because as long as you've completed a project and put it out there Then that's always a benefit and even if it doesn't sell very well, there's You know, you always have that option to say to people like look I've I've got this if you fancy taking a look at my work and It's always nice to have something behind you. You should just go for it. Put yourself out there Um, you guys have probably heard of bobby chew, but I remember some advice that he used to say All the time is we if you're consistently putting yourself out there Then that's great because people will recognize your work. Remember your work And get to know you because My pencil just broke Because you're you know, you they're constantly seeing your work and even if you think it's not good enough When will it be good enough? You know what I mean? You can always be that perfectionist Telling yourself no, this isn't good. This isn't good, but I think everybody has those insecurities And there's always going to be people who are better than you and there's always going to be people who are worse than you So you should just do you and think if it's good enough within yourself, then you should go for it It's definitely the way to be just just go for it. It's can be scary I was absolutely Absolutely terrified self-publishing my book I've never been like that with anything before Um Any artwork I'm always like, yeah, that's it any graphic design. I'm like, yeah, that's my my graphic design or But with writing I was so terrified and then I just did it and Now it's just up there in the uh, amazon sphere and it's fine like It hasn't done very well. I didn't expect it to be Lemon next Harry Potter or anything obviously But it's it's something that I've done and I'm proud of myself for doing it and especially Just getting on with it even though I know that it's terrifying It was always something I never really thought I could do so It was a big step forward for me So you can do it Gio says this is why I believe you should do it for yourself and not for others having others read your stuff as a bonus Yes, definitely That's totally what I I do all the time with any of my work because you you can't You can't expect people to fall head over heels for all your stuff Your your work will always be more important to you than anybody else Unless it's like Harry Potter or something because then that's that's important to a lot of people But you know what I mean and you can hope something wrong with hope but Yeah, this truck is a little bit dodgy so I might have to redraw this the um Ming jazza Sorry, thank you for stopping by Yeah, the worst that can happen is just people won't buy your work. That's fine though because It's just happened it it's happened to me, but it's fine. It doesn't change anything You still accomplish that amount of work. You can still say like Oh, hey, I've written a book or hey, I've done this comic. I've drawn this image That's still really impressive. I think It's balls we're all on the same you know We're all in the same boat here with having fear of sharing things I'm pretty scared. I was pretty scared doing the stream to be honest because I don't know just talking live It's scary, but it's been really nice and you guys have been really nice so There you go. See you guys talking about a Poetry scene That would be cool Very impressive Uh, I'm impressed with people that stream my entire brain would go error 404 brain not found Yep, that was pretty much me for like the first 10 minutes of this stream I never I remember my previous stream the first one that I did I didn't I didn't like it because I just felt like I was just panicking and everything was going wrong and I just I didn't like it. I felt like oh, I'm never gonna stream again because I didn't like that But I don't mind talking on other people's streams because I feel like the pressure goes off and you can just have a chat with someone If you kind of forget that there's people watching you it's good I'm just pretending that I'm talking to like a friend on the phone Which is helpful I'm probably gonna stop in a bit and go grab some lunch. I don't know how long I've been streaming for but Yeah, uh, and then I'll update you guys on wednesday how this Went from this to whatever I create afterwards So I've done pretty much how many pages have I done one? Done like four pages of Rough Rough pencils now Thanks to you Yeah, it was scary and now but it's now really nice. So I'm probably gonna do this more often like monday not monday morning streams, I mean Yeah Okay, so I'm gonna go probably now guys, but thank you so much for dropping by and chatting with me It's been really nice. I might do this again next friday morning See how I feel if you don't want to miss If you miss this or call it late, then maybe click the bell and you get a notification When I'm streaming and yeah, that might be might be good to know I'll see how this one went time wise for people in the us maybe can do it a bit later for some people but Let me know in the comments if you watched this after I streamed if you missed it and if this time is good for you or not But thank you so much for everybody dropping by and I'm gonna stop But thank you Bye. Bye. Bye. I'm gonna take this book down Bye

My name is Ben Higgins. I am a DevOps engineer for NeoDB. That being said, I'm not going to try to sell you anything. But when about a year, a little less than a year ago, a recruiter contacted me about working at NeoDB, and he brought up, he said, well, this is a startup company, and they have a SQL relational database. And I said, I mean, I actually laughed. And I said, who in this day and age wants to start up? I mean, there's enough SQL engines out there. So he said, well, you know, they're doing something that's new to the market. And I said, well, come on. He couldn't really articulate what that was. So, you know, I had to look it up later on. And sure enough, you know, they have a true scale out database that's as a compliant transactional relational database. And there are now some competitors out there, and you might be aware that Google has released a spanner, which just confirms that there's still a market out there for relational databases. So that made us feel really good about ourselves. And so we're going to continue on plugging away at what we do. And so what we've done is we've taken a legacy monolithic database, and we broke it out to functionalities into, you know, the two main components, which are the transaction engines and the storage managers, which makes it very easy for us to scale at that point. And this is a full active, active, active environment. Because you can scale out. I'll say it's a theoretical because I'm not going to give you numbers, but I believe it can scale out to 120 nodes, all running the same database and all active. So they're in the back end. The storage manager will actually do the syncing between all the nodes. And then the transaction engines will just cache and update that cache as needed. We're never going to be a top performer against companies like, we'll say Oracle, for their space. But what we do best, though, is that we are perfect for the OpenShift Kubernetes environment. So that being said, we entered into a partnership with Red Hat a few months ago, and we actually did a presentation for Diane's team and a number of the SA teams. And I keep hearing over and over from the SA teams there at Red Hat is, why would you containerize a database? What are the advantages? You know, you need to have persistent storage. And what are you really going to get? Because you really can only run one node. Well, we can run multiple instances. And we can run actually ephemeral storage. As long as you have multiple SMs, they sync. You lose an SM and a new one comes on. It will slurp all of your database into that new storage manager. So we're very native to this environment. And so you can actually start using our database. We were one of the early adopters of the Red Hat storage containers, container registry that we've been working with Paul Christensen closely to get our container out there. So you can start to integrate us with your CICD environment and start to consume our product. It's very easy to adopt. We support all the languages, oracles, SQL language through MS SQL. So it's very easy to use. And I'd be happy to show you a live demo at our table. You can also enter to win a Sonos one. Thank you.
