At the start of the pandemic, I wanted to try to learn something new. I settled on making short review videos to talk about the streaming TV I’ve been watching. So far, I’ve made seven of them, and I’m hoping to make more in the future.
The most recent one is about Apple TV+ and why Ted Lasso convinced me to give the streaming service another chance after a somewhat disappointing launch.
If you want to check them all out, here’s the playlist on YouTube.
Let’s face it, things are pretty horrible right now between the coronavirus crisis and the growing civil unrest as America starts to reckon with its history of systemic racism. If you’re like me, when you need a break from all the anger and gloom, you binge watch TV shows on your favorite streaming services. You also attempt to do something creative or learn a new skill as a pick-me-up when things are on fire in the world around you. I wanted to learn basic video editing and create some new content for Trashwire, and the result is this little video I made about three great comic book shows I’ve loved.
This is my first attempt at one of these video reviews, so feedback is welcome. Feel free to leave a comment on YouTube or tweet me if you loved it or even if you hated it.
Stay safe out there, wear your mask, and let’s try to stay calm and support each other while we all deal with the chaos around us.
Chances are, if you have an iPad and you use Procreate, you’ve watched at least one tutorial by Abbie from Uproot. Not only is she an insanely talented artist, but she’s also one of the most creative people in the iPad art game right now and she’s practically a scholar in Procreate. Her tutorials make everything so easy to understand and try out yourself, so I was pretty excited when I finally had time to try her destroyed look tutorial. I played around with the method for a couple of profile pic ideas last night while watching TV and this was the one I liked the most.
Give it a try for yourself with the tutorial below and see if you get as into it as I did.
In fact, I loved it so much, I wrote a review for Trashwire. You can read it here.
And check out the trailer here.
Just created a brand new video to show you how I quickly create 3D lettering on my iPad Pro with Procreate. This process was inspired by two amazingly talented lady letterers, Lauren Hom and Lisa Long, who you should definitely follow for lettering tips and inspiration.
