After taking a break from making art journal videos to knuckle down and finish my final dance teaching qualifications I’m pleased to say that I am back! I really enjoy art journaling so I’m hoping I can get back into a regular routine for you.
In this first video of the new series I’ve decided to demonstrate some of my colouring techniques with you as this will be my first video since becoming part of the Spectrum Noir design team. This entire spread was inspired by my daughter (who micromanaged the different stages lol x) (Scroll down for video…)
YouTube Partnership Changes
Before we get into it I have a few points to make: firstly, my channel has been affected by the recent changes to YouTube’s policies and now all of my videos that I worked hard to make have become demonetised. This basically means that I can no longer receive ad revenue (which was only pennies on my channel) but it was a very good incentive for me to carry on creating and sharing content. It also helped me justify buying another art journal or replacing supplies that ran out. In order to get monetised in the future I need to greatly increase the number of hours my videos are watched by people. Each video takes several days to create, then edit the footage, produce the final video and give you the blog entry listing all the materials, etc. If you would like to support my channel (for free!) then the best thing would be to subscribe to my channel and maybe watch a playlist or two on there from time to time. This, as well as liking and commenting on my videos, lets me know that you like my content and that you’d like to see more. Of course, if you’re a company and would like to sponsor me to make a video using your products then please get in touch too!
Voiceovers or Background Music
I’ve had a chance to reflect on comments made and there have been some occasions that people have said they would prefer a voiceover and/or more descriptions of what I’m doing to help them make similar artwork or learn from my techniques. I am super happy to start doing voiceovers for you but I also know that other people prefer to have the background music as they find the videos quite relaxing to watch. Therefore, for this video I’ve created TWO versions – one with voiceovers and one without. To help me know which format you would like to see in the future please comment on the video that works best for you.
