The discovery of your channel is my best CZcams experience this year !
Love the garland, love Mona, love this "It's Wednesday my dude", love this " I have no friend so I'll just keep it", love your humour, the edit and your soothing voice !
I'm just starting as a children's book illustrator and you already inspired me so much in your way of working ! (Don't know if that's good English but I"ll just let it here >
Thank you so much!!!
Your videos are so wonderful and give me hope for the future :) thank you for sharing and wishing you the best!
Thank you!!
That yellow jumper really suits you!
Thank you!! It’s sooo cosy!
Already got my reminder on 💛💛
Hi, Anoosha. In regards to the teleprompter idea: there are actually apps that you can install on your phone or tablet that act as a teleprompter. You can adjust the font size and color as well as the background color and scroll speed. Hope that helps; love your videos!
Thank you I’ll check it out!!
Hey Anoosha, I find your channel inspiring. I’m a paediatrician but I’m also a self-taught artist and I have always wanted to start illustrating children’s books. I replay your YT videos while I work at home. Can you please show us how you designed and constructed your resume? I would also like to see how you designed your professional cards. They’re so cute! Hope to meet you one day when I move to Ontario. Can you also let us know of artist related in-person or virtual events and exhibitions that you like/attend?
Those are good suggestions! My favourite convention in Ontario is TCAF, but I also attend shows like NYCC, vancaf and Lightbox expo
I find your videos beyond relaxing and informative, they are always just so much fun to watch or even just have on in the background
Glad you like them!!!!
The discussion about your name pronunciation reminded of how I would automatically know when my name was next on the attendance list, as there would always be a pause. I would just say: "It's Anjuman, but you can call me Anj", and the teachers always thanked me because they were afraid of butchering it. However, I once had a substitute teacher in grade 8 that pronounced my name: "Angleman", I was really caught off guard, and everyone in my class laughed out loud.
Ahh the dreaded pause!! hahaha
Looking forward to your next studio vlog! I just found your channel today. You are such an inspiration, Anoosha!
Thank you so much!!
Really enjoyed seeing your process picking the rough colors from nothing and then adding some texture to the throw idea.
Thanks Aimee! I don’t know how well the texture is going to show up on the throw in the end but still I plan to make this into a print as well it’s ok!
@@AnooshaSyed Yes, it's very charming! I really like the pink hills.
Yay! Your second attempt at a scarf already looks so much better! I think starting over was the right call. The good thing about knitting is that it's really easy to start over if your project's not going well.
And don't listen to whatever CZcams is telling you. You need to take care of yourself first and do what's right for you. The people who care about your content are willing to wait for it!
Thank you!! I've gone through my first ball of yarn for the scarf and it's looking soooo much better this time around!
@@AnooshaSyed I was really wondering how it had been going, so I'm very happy to hear that it's going better now!
@@charlotte31415 I'll have an update in the next vlog!! :)
amazing studio vlog! I love your work 🥰
Thank you!!
You look lovely! Nice to see you 🥰
I love your videos so much! 😍💙💙
Thank you!!
My mum used to make playdough out of salt and flour. So technically it was edible, but you probably wouldn't want to try :D
If you added food coloring and a little vanilla essence, I probably would still try haha
Love that moon garland 😍
I love it!!!
Working my way backwards 😅 Another great vlog. It kept me company as I illustrated a piece for an upcoming book 😊
Thank you! And good luck on your book :)
I've just rewatched this video and noticed you named your colour palette "Not My Name". Now I understand the reference!
I didn’t realize people saw that hahaha. Yeah it’s the name of the specific palette I’m using for that book; I guess it’s a nice Easter egg now!
@@AnooshaSyed Haha yes - you also talked about people getting your name wrong as a kid in this video! (Totally relate). Congrats on the books - every illustrator's dream.
Thank you!!
Its really nice that you can go to your in laws! I have been staying at moms quite a lot, for company and nature and just to stay sane during all of this. Really nice vlog as always :D
Yes!! My parents live in the US so I've been missing them lots, but im thankful I have the option of staying with my inlaws being a few hours away! Change of scenery, plus they have STAIRS (so tired for apartment life haha)
@@AnooshaSyed hahah! I hear you! My mom lives in a big house by a forest, and its a lot brighter than my apartment. Plus my cats live there! Gosh we are lucky :D
you could do a powerpoint presentation as your teleprompter... just have it playing at a set speed so you can read it without it skipping ahead. :) love seeing your process!
Thank you for the advice!
You are sooo cute ... I constantly have to smile while watching you. I love how down to earth you are.
Thank you for you efforts and the informations... it‘s really helpful and motivating for me starting my own illustration career...
especially now with lockdown going on it can get really lonely as an artist knowing no one else doing the same things I want to do...
sending lots of love from germany
Thank you so much! Being an illustrator can feel so isolating, I think being a part of the online community makes it a little bit better!!
YAYYYY new post!!
:) :)
Early! Totally can relate with all the revisions u have to do 🤣 turned out great though
Thank you!! 😁
👏🏻👏🏻❣💕✌✌👌👍🏻
Hi Anoosha. I'd like to know what tablet you use? What stylus pen and what app
? You're very talented. I love your videos! Thx for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks! I use an iPad Pro, with the apple pencil and use the app Procreate
Thx Anoosha for your quick reply. Is it the 12.9 inch 4th generation tablet? How many gigabytes are required to have so many layers? Any recommandations ?
So interesting, I’m a traditional artist that desperately wants to be good at digital art! Complete opposite! Every time I sit down to do something on the iPad, I get frustrated and just go back to work traditionally. I find that I love the speed and versatility of digital, but nothing feels like an actual brush on actual watercolor paper. The only app that comes close is Fresco with their Live Brushes. I’m to the point I’m going to have to take some classes on digital. My goal is to be good at both!
I’d love to switch places hahaha! I will reccomend the LG aquareal brush set if you are looking for water color brushes, I thought they were pretty authentic! (Found on creative market)
@@AnooshaSyed Nice! Thanks for the recommendation! It is fun to be able to do it well traditionally, but I love for the ability to be able to paint anywhere anytime. I have travel palettes, but sometimes getting all of that out just isn’t practical.
@@AnooshaSyed I just tried the Aquareal brushes! They’re not bad, but seriously, you NEED to try the live watercolor brushes in Fresco. They are amazingly life-like. I actually audibly gasped when I first used them! 😂
@@Enginejen no way!! I'll definitely have to try it out then!
what brush are you using in procreate? I just love the texture of your monster drawings
Mainly the 6B pencil default brush :)
Anoosha Syed thank you , I’ll experiment with it 😊
Hi Anooshaa, wonderful art - I hope I can be like you in the future :)) may I know what brush did you wear?
Hi, thank for your very informative videos. Could you please share details about what brush you use to for sketching and filling colour? ❤️
I use the default 6B pencil brush
@@AnooshaSyed Thank you🙏.
There is an app on the iPad or phone that will to the teleprompter thing
Oh smart!
What is canvas size you usually work on?
It depends on the project!
Hi! I love your content. Do you do all your revisions on procreate too? How do you deal with the loss of quality using the transform tool on procreate? It’s one of the reasons I can’t completely leave photoshop behind 😭 For example when you moved the lion leaving to the back and the family to the front, do you redraw them completely or is there some procreate hack I’m missing here haha
The transform tool is horrible on procreate! I try to really avoid using it when I get to final art so I don’t have any loss in quality, and if I really need to transform something I’ll upload to photoshop, tweak it, and bring back to procreate. It’s not ideal but it works for me since I don’t need to use it too much.
For revisions/sketch stage, I use the transform tool as needed and used it for the lion in my video. Since it’s all rough work it’s fine if it gets a little blurry and fuzzy, I don’t mind and the client doesn’t either. I also try to make sure my final sketch is as finished as possible so that when I get to work on the final color, I don’t really need to use transform bc my foundation is perfect.
@@AnooshaSyed Ah okay you have a similar process to me then, I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t something I could do on procreate that I was missing 🤣 All I want on procreate is decent transform tool and clipping masks for groups 😂
I hope they work on those in future updates!!
Hey Anoosha! I noticed in some of your videos you talk about an animation job too. I was wondering, do you think it is possible to be book illustrator and have another job at the same time, then? I actually am in university but in an unrelated major, but illustrating is a big big passion of mine so I didn't wanna give up that either. Thank you very much this has been bothering me a lot.
Totally possible to do both! If you are mindful about how much book work you take on, then there’s no reason why you can’t have a full time job on top as well. Since freelance illustration can be unsteady/inconsistent especially at the beginning, it’s very common for artists to have a full time or part time job on top of freelance so there’s steady income, benefits, or just because they have other passions. At some point I’ll be looking into full time animation work to shake things up a bit, and when that ha-pens I’ll just make sure to only work on 1 book a year rather than 3 so it’s easier on me.
@@AnooshaSyed thank you so much for the response. Ive actually been thinking about whether i should quit my current major (dont get me wrong i still like it) and go into animation or illustration, but that would be risky and also a stressing experience becaude of my family and the risk itself. This has been making me really nervous. So you think there is no reason for me to trade one for anotber in the end?
Also, can i still be represented by an agent if do it while having another job? Tyvm
What pen did you use to sign the books, Anoosha? I need it in my life!
It’s from MUJI!
You are so beautiful! Your eyes are so beautiful, my english is bad so Tus ojos son perfectos, tan grandes, sus pestañas, tu piel y toda la dulzura que transmites, que Dios te bendiga
You have incredibly beautiful huge eyes!!!!
I know this is a year too late but it’s better to knit with 2 needles and not the circular one. As for mispronouncing your name……..I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. All my life people mispronounced my name and I find it disrespectful. I get called Marylou, Marrylou, Marie, Marlouise, and it’s not rocket science. I worked with people for 2 decades and at my leaving party I asked all 20 something of my peers how to say it…….ALL WRONG 😑 it kinda summed up where I ranked in their opinion.
Hi Anooshaa, wonderful art - I hope I can be like you in the future :)) may I know what brush did you wear?
I use the default 6B pencil brush!
