I was recently asked how I draw the semi-realistic fire in my webcomic, so I made a quick tutorial.

I thought silver snowflakes on a dark green background would look elegant, so I decided to try it.

You can see the drawing process in this video, set to peaceful music:

Snowflake-Drawing Montage: "Gilded Space Snowflake"

21/4/2020

0 Comments

 
I wanted to do a space-themed snowflake-drawing montage, and I ended up basing the color scheme on the Undertale AU "Outertale".  

Due to having two colors on each snowflake, this ended up being the longest montage I've ever done.

Snowflake-Drawing Montage: "Drifting Snowflake, Gentle Rain"

7/4/2020

0 Comments

 
I found some soft, sad, beautiful songs, and I wanted to make a snowflake-drawing montage that would fit with them. So I created a rainy, misty background, and used vivid but gentle shades of blue for this snowflake series.

I also added rain and thunder sounds to the video, to help complete the mood.

My last snowflake-drawing video got such a positive reception on YouTube that I was motivated to make another. :) This time I made the background slightly more intricate, and included the process of drawing the gold decorations in the video.

Frozen Zephyr: 10 Minutes of Drawing Snowflakes While Peaceful, Dramatic Space Music Plays

28/3/2020

It's been some time since I did a snowflake-drawing montage, and I was getting the urge to do it again.

With COVID-19 forcing so many people into quarantine, I also felt a pull as an artist to offer those who are trapped in their homes a bit of escape and entertainment.

So if you want a relaxing way to pass the time, click the video player below to watch beautiful snowflakes taking shape while peaceful, dramatic space music plays.

Soothing Snowflake-Drawing Montage: Dark Jungle Gems

3/12/2019

​For this art montage, I used four dendrites - the lowest number I've ever experimented with for a snowflake-like pattern - and music that I thought had a spacey/jungle feel to it.

You can watch the video here:

Fire in the Night: 10 Minutes of Me Drawing Snowflakes While Dramatic Music Plays

21/11/2019

I decided to make another snowflake-drawing video. :) This time I used slightly more dramatic music; there were a few songs I wanted use that included some more energetic parts, and red seemed like the appropriate color to go with them.

New Videos: Watch Snowflake Patterns Take Shape While Peaceful Music Plays

8/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Over the last few months, I've shared a variety of symmetrical snowflake patterns like this one.

Today, I'm got something new for you: a 3-video series in which you can watch new snowflakes take shape, while soothing, peaceful music plays in the background.

Each of these videos is a little less than 10 minutes long, and they're a lovely way to wind down or learn more about how to draw snowflakes of your own.
