In this weeks lil episode, I ask the question, Are Videogames Bad For You? You can replace Videogames with any hobby really, as I think it all comes down to finding balance and your beliefs. There's also the lil Art Tip, which is about Taking Your Time when Drawing Realistic Hair, and there's a slice of Lucid Dreaming talk too: False Awakenings and how Lucid Dreaming is improving my Waking Life. Hope you like it :)

In this weeks lil episode, I ask the question, Are Videogames Bad For You? You can replace Videogames with any hobby really, as I think anything is bad if the balance isn't right. Artists seem to be drawn to the creative nature of Videogames, but Are Videogames Bad?

 

 

I talk about how the past few years I've been stuck in a cycle of Accepting, and than pushing away, videogames in my life. Feeling Guilty for playing Videogames was my main issue, but I think I may have worked something out … I was Fed a Lie in my Childhood; I was made to believe videogames were bad, and it's been stuck deep inside of my subconscious ever since.

So Are Videogames Bad? Depends if you want to believe the lies of not :)

 

There's also this weeks lil Art Tip which is :

TAKE YOUR TIME WHEN DRAWING REALISTIC HAIR

Lee Hammond said a really nice quote in her book, How To Draw Lifelike Portraits From photographs, where she said something along the lines of, When you think you're finished rendering hair, you're probably only a third of the way there.

Drawing Realistic Hair that has Volume, Depth and looks Full and Fluffy, is all about Taking your Time and Building it up in Layers. I feel with hair, you can never have too many Layers; the More the Merrier :)

"BOOOOOONNNNGGGGG"

 

 

To finish off, there's a slice of Lucid Dreaming talk too, and a very odd experience I had last week, of Five False Awakenings in a Row. It got a little bit unsettling towards the end, but fascinating at the same time lol I also talk a bit about How Lucid Dreaming is helping improve my Waking Life.

Hope you like this one :)

This weeks lil podcast is all about Pencil vs Ink, and what I've noticed so far after 20 days of Inktober 2018. I talk about the Paradox of Inks, how they're both similar and totally different to Pencils at the same time, there's also the lil Art Tip, which is about Nipping Tings in the Bud, and there's a teeny bit about Reality Checks and Lucid Dreaming at the end too. Hope you like this one :)

This weeks lil podcast is all about PENCIL VS INK, and what I've noticed so far after 20 days of Inktober 2018. Inking is like a Paradox, where it's both similar and totally different to Pencils at the same time.

 

I also talk about how Pencils seem to be a lot more Playful, Drawing from the Elbow and how I can tell Inks could be really Satisfying once you feel Confident with them.

There's also this weeks lil Art Tip which is :

NIP TINGS IN THE BUD

This is based off something Leslie Saeta said, on one of her podcasts. . "If you sit down to draw and somethings bothering you, like a wobbly table leg, stop what you're doing and sort it out." I'll never forget that, because it's so true. If you leave it, it will distract you while drawing and stop you really getting into it.

Half the time it will only take 5 seconds to fix, but it will allow for a much freer mind while producing Art.

It's a bit like what the Buddhist Monks say, "If there's something you can do about it, do something about it. If there's nothing you can do about, you can't do anything about it." :) 

"BOOOOOONNNNGGGGG"

 

 

There's also a teeny bit at the end about Reality Checks and Lucid Dreaming too … hope you like it :)

This lil episode comes to you live from the astral planes lol I talk about Out Of Body Experiences on this one, and a theory I have where I wonder if the Earth is a school for us babies, created by the creator, with the ultimate goal of growing new creators; are we destined to be a Creator ... aka, a God? There's also the lil art tip, which this week is about how a craft knife can be used to fix inking errors. Hope you like this one :)

This lil episode comes to you live from the astral planes lol I talk about Out Of Body Experiences on this one, and a theory I have where I wonder Is the Earth a school for us babies, created by the creator, with the ultimate goal of growing new creators; Are we Destined to be a Creator ... aka, a God?

I could talk forever about stuff like this, I'm convinced we're part of something much bigger than what we can see. I find the whole thing fascinating to be honest, and while I haven't induced an Out of Body Experience yet, I talk about some of the experiences I have had, like: how during a Lucid Dream I was floating about an inch above the carpet, the time it felt like someone had picked my bed up and was shaking it from side to side, as well an experience where I Watched my Hand Drawing on it's Own when I first started drawing in 2013.

My biggest issue with going Out of Body at the moment is LETTING GO, but Art is strangely helping, as it's closely related to all things Spiritual, because both require you being fearless, and being fearless is all about LETTING GO.

There's also this weeks lil art tip which is something I found during Inktober 2018 Days 6 to 12 by mistake:

YOU CAN FIX ERRORS AND REMOVE INK FROM A DRAWING WITH A CRAFT KNIFE

Fixing errors is something I've had to do a lot during Inktober this past week, but as I said on this weeks YouTube video … remember to be gentle, as if you're working with feathers.

That's the key to removing ink with a craft knife … be nice and gentle :) 

"BOOOOOONNNNGGGGG"

 

So that's it for this weeks Podcast … hope you like it :)

This lil one is all about Inktober, and some of the tings I've learnt over the first 5 days. I talk about how Scary it can be to Commit to an Ink Line knowing you can't Erase it, Some of my Smudging Struggles and how Pencil Drawing seems to be the most important Art skill. The lil Art Tip is how a scrap piece of paper can be used to help check your Proportions when Drawing, and I throw in a lil bit about Consciousness at the end, and how I think the future could be the past :)

I wrote a more detailed blog post about Inktober Days 1 to 5, which also includes Drawings, a Video and various links to some of the Inspirational Artists I've found so far, but this episode also covers a couple other topics, like the lil art tip, which is

A SCRAP PIECE OF PAPER CAN BE USED TO CHECK YOUR PROPORTIONS WHEN DRAWING :)

When rendering a realistic drawing freehand, without any grid lines, I find it handy to keep a lil Scrap Piece of Paper by my side, so I can check my measurements and proportions from time to time.

Say I'm drawing an eye and I think, hmm, something doesn't look right here. I can pick up the Scrap Paper, place it onto my Reference Photo, and mark off two dots along the edge of the paper, one at the start of the eye, the other at the end.

I than move the scrap paper onto my drawing, to see if the eye I've drawn syncs up with the dots.

The fun thing is, when they sync up first time, it creates a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside :) Sometimes they don't, but this is good too, because you start learning where you're going wrong, and slowly, over time, your accuracy when drawing will improve :) 

"BOOOOOONNNNGGGGG"

 

I also throw in a lil consciousness theory at the end, which I thought about after watching an interview Elon Musk did with Joe Rogan, which made me have this strange feeling that the Future could be the Past!

Hope you like this one.

I think this is the most out there lil episode I've done so far lol Something that's always bothered me, is Why are some people born Transgender? I came up with a Theory this morning after a Lucid Dream, and it made me wonder, What if we're inside of a Dream right now, and what if that's got something to do with why some people are born Transgender. There's also the lil Art Tip, which is about the fun of trying new things ... and there's even a bonus lil Art Challenge for you to do this week too :) Woohoo!

I think this is the most out there lil episode I've done so far lol This weeks podcast was supposed to be about the art challenge Inktober, which starts tomorrow, but that all changed after a Lucid Dream I had this morning.

Something that's always bothered me, is Why are some people born Transgender? I came up with a theory this morning after a False Awakening, which is where you have a dream that you wake up from a dream and get out of bed, only to realise that you're actually still dreaming; a Dream within a Dream.

It only lasted a few seconds, but I couldn't stop thinking about it all morning and it made me wonder, What if we're inside of a Dream right now, What if we each have a Creator whose fast asleep in their own lil bed dreaming us into existence as we speak lol... and What if that's got something to do with our Gender, and Why some people are born Transgender.

So this weeks podcast is all about a Theory I have of how Lucid Dreaming and Gender may be Linked. I also talk about another Lucid Dream I had last week, and also these weird worm hole vivid visual things that I have no clue what they are, but they fascinate me so much.

So this one's mostly about the tings this week, but there is a bit of Art on the show, like a bonus lil Art Challenge I set for you, of going into your local art shop during the week and Picking up a Random Art Tool You've Never Used Before, so you can go home and have some fun playing and experimenting with it :) which links in nicely with...

ALWAYS TRY NEW THINGS … or tings :)

With Inktober starting tomorrow, I've been playing around with some new Art Tools, and it made me realise. It's really important to try new tings, because iwhen you do, that's when you have the most fun, because you don't know what you're doing lol so you can just Play and Experiment :) 

"BOOOOOONNNNGGGGG"
