Chris, are you a children's book illustrator yet? You'd make a lot of childhood's nostalgic The heart clip is my favorite part too! Along with the coffee mug, it looks so real and comfortable

DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY

your painting and sketch studies are my inspiration, thank you for posting them also

I know its coffee themed, but usually coffee is drunk at breakfast and at breakfast you have cereal and this painting also has rainbows, so basically I can taste Lucky Charms just by looking at this. But seriously, i can't believe i haven't found you sooner! Your art screams nostalgia! I love it so much!! I hope we can get future prints of this piece!

I love all the little details in this!

Your art is so charming. Love this watercolour piece

Lol about the second rainbow! I actually sat there mouth open in shock hahahah!! I'm glad you put it in. This painting is adorable, I love the concept and you executed it beautifully. Coffee heist with symbolic lightning bolts, how cute is that!!

Beautiful Chris!!!

I wasn't a huge fan of masking fluid either until I started using the Fineliner Resist Pen. It's a bottle with a long metal tip and you can get really precise lines. When you cap it, there's an even smaller metal...uhh..thingy that fits inside the tip to insure it will not get clogged up. I also like using silicon tipped brushes if I have a larger area to mask off so I don't ruin my brushes (even old ones) as well. Just in case you ever wanted options. Hahaha! This is such a sweet painting, by the way! Friendships are truly marked by if you would share your coffee with someone. Hahaha!

This is so cute

What?! No, prints? I was so waiting for that video and the prints of it ;((((( And postcards are so tiny... I think you really, really should print your artworks on deep edge canvases! And AT LEAST double the size, no better: tripled would look great - your beautiful artworks are so detailed it is such a waste to print them so little! I could stare at them for hours and find a new sweet detail! I swear I would buy all my three mermaid pieces again, if you would release them on canvas doubled in size (I even dreamed of this, because I would love that so much).I had a whole wall reserved for your mermaids, but they look so tiny, that I had to put them in a much smaller place to make them shine - much to my discomfort. AND I want to buy this piece! I love rainbows, pixies and stars, and I really think that your composition explains itself and does not need any sentiment.

@ChrisHongArt

5 жыл бұрын

aww I'm sorry to hear that!! 😱 I guess that is the downside of smaller prints😭 I DO plan on releasing bigger mermaid prints one day but maybe I really should look into canvas prints, that's not a bad idea!! 🤔 It would be so difficult to ship though :O unless I guess I ship it rolled, and people can stretch it themselves..! I want to try PAINTING on deep canvases first hehe 😁

I completely get the over-rendering thing. I always try not to over do a piece because it’ll feel like it’s too much for me. Like Id rather be 98% with a piece than 102 % with a piece.

How much time do you spend thumbnailing before you decide upon fully rendering one of your sketches?

@ChrisHongArt

5 жыл бұрын

it really depends on the piece but I usually like to let it marinate for a day before committing to the thumbnail, even though I might have only spent an hour or less actually thumb nailing. I try not to spend TOO much time because it's really easy to get carried away and draw many different compositions when really all you needed was one decent one ^^
