A collection of my YouTube videos where I talk about art, writing, and everything creative.
Happy (belated) New Year!
post simply because November and December seemed to just bring about a stream of issues and setbacks (and Christmas wasn’t one of them hilariously). But a lot of stuff happened all at once and so I didn’t have the time, resources, or energy to post a video or write a blog entry due to it all.
Gamification Planning for my Bullet Journal
So this video is a bit different to what I usually do: Skill Unlocked – Voice-over But I also watched a video on Gamification as a way to try and get through life and so I thought I would give it a go – I’ve also always wanted to have a go at bullet journalling so this wasContinue reading “Gamification Planning for my Bullet Journal”
Inktober painting session | Watercolour timelapse
I filmed some of my final Inktober paintings and so I decided to put them all together in a timelapse with some spooky music – enjoy!
Weekly Vlog 8 | Broken tripods, Autumnal vibes, and a mini Book haul
Sorry that this video ended up being late, my editing kept getting put on hold for one reason or another but that’s life I suppose. I tried to film some good shots in this video because *Autumn* Hope you enjoy! Feel free to like, comment and subscribe – and share if you liked it! Social media: @babyfrog96
Weekly Vlog 7 | Media City, Canal Walks, and Library Trips
So I did a lot outside this week, and so I didn’t really feel comfortable filming too much where other people could see me – however, I did my best with what I had and I hope that you enjoy the results 🙂
Weekly Vlog 6 | Sketches galore, New Books, and a Venture Outdoors
So after last week, I felt a lot more comfortable talking to the camera and even went on a trip outside and vlogged in a cafe (ish) Hope you enjoy the video – like, comment and subscribe if you did! It means a lot to me ^_^
Weekly Vlog 5 | Sketchtober, Anxiety, and a Stationary haul
So this week has been a bit of a stressful week for no reason whatsoever except my brain being mean. But I tried to put some stuff together and get better with adding stuff in to make the time-lapses a bit more interesting and to add more info into them. Hope you enjoy!
Weekly Vlog 4 | Painting and Procrastination
Second week at my parents and my ongoing problems with procrastination – but progress is being made!
Weekly Vlog 3 | Painting and Story time
Once again, a late video – but at least the weekly term still applies!! This week I’m back up at my parents’ house for birthdays and I managed to squeeze in some filming – though I’m still awkward talking to camera when people are around so sorry for the tiny talking segment compared to my first video. ButContinue reading “Weekly Vlog 3 | Painting and Story time”
Weekly Vlog: Attempt 2, Timelapse Boogaloo
So week two was almost worse than week one in terms of staying on schedule – as seen from the Sunday upload instead of the Friday (though I was travelling for this one) but I hope you enjoy it anyway!
Weekly Vlog | Study, Reading, and New Routines
So I’ve started another new system of trying out weekly vlogging. This one may have not gone completely to plan (damn my nocturnal nature) but I will be back again next week, hopefully having stuck to my timetable better.
Watercolouring Part 2: Timelapse and Pride in my Paintings
Here is a part two of the painting that I did during my mini holiday at my parents’ house. I wonder if I was proud of them..😂. But I enjoyed it so much and so I now just need to figure out how to keep it up now that I’m back in the city.
Getting back into Painting in Watercolours
So I went to my parents house for a few weeks and while I have the house to myself for the weekend, I thought I’d do something that I haven’t done for ages: Paint! I haven’t used watercolour in a long time and so I’m a little rusty but I still had a lot of fun!
A Spontaneous Book Haul
This was all a bit sudden and so if it’s waffly, I got excited about being home alone – as shown by me using my ‘nobody’s home inside voice’ XD Hope you like it! Books mentioned in the video: The Hollow Crown – Dan Jones. Why does E=MC (squared)? – Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw. Windsor Castle –Continue reading “A Spontaneous Book Haul”
A couple of Studying days (Vlog)
So this video is a chill one – and I like to use vlogging as a way to motivate myself to study, which is kind of what this video is.
A New Start and a Fresh Perspective
So I’ve decided to be a bit more free with my content and my filming so that I can actually enjoy what I am making again (and I was too broad with my previous videos so I may make more nuanced versions of them in the future) but for now I am making sure to have fun.
World-building Episode 1 (Video)
So I have been AWOL for a bit as I tried to come up with new content and I’ve come up with a new series where I walk you through how I world-build and you can contribute too by adding comments on what you want to be included in future episodes.
How I plan my stories
So I thought that I would go through how I plan my novels (and uni fiction works) to show off one of the many ways that it can be done (and also that all are valid cos mine is pretty odd)
