Hello! New account focused on art tutorials :)

Hello Steemians!!

My previous account was @allstarrunner , but I have now offically made the switch to @ArtistChristian.

Why the switch?

When I first came to steemit, I had no idea really what Steemit was and what I would end up doing on Steemit, so, I signed up with my default username that I've been using since I was probably about 15!

However, it became clear over the course of time that my main focus was going to be art, which was fine for my previous account - but even more recently I decided I wanted to do a more complete series of art tutorials using video (here is the intro video post) and it felt confusing to have a user name of @allstarrunner while going by the visible name of Artist Christian on Steemit - hence the switch!

No longer will my thumbnails have to say @allstarrunner, but I can actually use @ArtistChristian! Less confusion!

I imagine I will be posting some of my old art on this account too, but if you'd like to see some of my art, feel free to check out my old account @allstarrunner.

If art is something you enjoy and if you'd like to see tutorials and processes I use when using traditional media, please give my new account a follow!

My goal is for this new account to be a place where anyone on steemit can go if learning art is something that interests them. There are already plenty of tutorials on YouTube but I thought I would throw my hat into the ring for Steemit!

Thanks for reading and I hope to get to know you more while on Steemit!!

A Quick shot showing some of the processes I'll be explaining:

Welcome to Steemit!

thank you :) I'm hoping to contribute some good content to steemit!

Hi @artistchristian

Looks like some good stuff. Do you do watercolor tutorials also? I always found watercolors to be interesting looking and maybe one day I will try.

I hit the follow button. If you are ever interested in short stories/poems then check out my work - @pltorres

Thanks! I sure will be doing watercolor tutorials! In fact, my first real video was on just that topic, basic watercolor materials. I will be doing a lot more videos, although I need to get a new camera so the quality is better - but they will be coming in time!

Followed back, I do find poetry interesting!

I checked out the video. I didn't comment there because of your new channel (do we call them channels on steemit?) anyways, looks like I have everything I need to get started with watercolor except for the brushes because I did end up getting a pack of brushes awhile ago. Everything has been sitting in my closet collecting dust. I have a few craft stores near my house and I'll pick up a brush after work and then give it a try for the first time.

I'm looking to create stuff like:

I probably won't do faces to start with but I'd like to get to that level. Also I don't know who the artist of this is, I found it doing a google image search.

@pltorres, you are asking the right steemian! @artistchristian is super helpful. I know you will gain some useful 'art how-to' knowledge here.

I'll keep my eye out for your work! Take care ☺

I agree, I love this style! I have many pictures from other artists saved on my comp to serve as reference photos - even though I have never really gotten around to doing this style myself, but I hope to soon.

I checked out your page, looks like you are into a lot of cool things. I look forward to seeing what else you post about. If you ever are in Penang, Malaysia you can couch surf at my parents!

Welcome to steemit

nice followed !

that's odd because it doesn't show you following :) This isn't my first rodeo on steemit!

I also liked how you upvoted yourself back to the top after I upvoted @pltorres who made a real comment.

Welcome to Steemit, friend. I'm sure you'll do great things here. Give me a follow and upvote my posts 100% plz.


















Ahahaha! I see my auto-voter is already working for this. Awesome! What will you do with the old account? Should I remove my auto-vote for that one now?

I'm glad you're finally using this. I hope more people become drawn to it because of the implications of the name. I foresee a lot of great things in your future, brother. I see you collaborating with an equally legendary writer a few months from now, so I'm definitely excited to see what you two cook up :D

No spam please!!! I down vote you instead!!!
haha, the realities of steemit, oh well!
Yeah, go ahead and take allstarrunner off of the auto-vote, I might make a few more posts over there to continue the "transition" but there is no need for votes on it.
I am looking forward very much to a collaboration with a larger than life writer.....

p.s. did you see the Marvel/Fox deal....I'm curious your thoughts....could it make it into your Thursday blog I wonder....?

Funny you should mention that! I did give it a small nod in my recent post, but I didn't want to elaborate since the finer details would be divulged later, which would be Friday my time. Whatever the result would be, there would be dedicated posts about that for sure!

Will there be videos only? How about some pictures with general steps too?n.n

Yes, absolutely. In fact, because I need to get a new camera, it will start with mostly photos; but even later, I will always include photos. The video's are mostly going to be for explaining the general techniques I use - because it's much easier to show in video form; but pictures will still be heavily used! :)

thanks!!

Welcome to Steemit! Nice drawings! I'm not much a drawer myself, but sure I could learn a thing or two from future posts. Will follow, draw away

thanks! I hope you do try out some of the tutorials, you may end up loving it :)

I'm looking forward to seeing the dry brush for sure.
