Tip from my own experience: don't wait to have space or a dedicated studio. That's #1 excuse for procrastination. A kitchen table will do as well! Be creative with what you already have at hand, the rest is just comfort.

I like how you have the time passing in the background- gives a good perspective on how long these actually take you! Your work is incredible

She does, sometimes you see her phone on the table with references. But thats fine.

i would think edges like this really adds to the experience & first impression of a book, I'm kinda surprised we don't see them more often printed at a large-scale, mass produced. For special editions and such.

I like how she and Hansi work in so many different mediums, paint, foam, leather, electronics, so varied. Every episode is something new and little of the same. Very nice.

Martina: I usually paint with acrylic on big canvas, so I will start with something simple Also Martina: take the smallest book, bend it and paints it with aquarelle 😸

They look so amazing! it would look so cool if she did that with either the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus books or the A Court Of Thorns And Roses series.

This is AWESOME 🤩 I‘ve been wanting to do this for a while now but never trusted myself to paint my books. I mean they’re books right? So precious… but now I feel like doing it first thing in the morning. Thanks for the inspiration and your creative work ❤ the paintings are stunning and I want them standing on my shelf 😆 And your videos always cheer me up ☺️ it’s so cool to watch you all excited for the projects you do!

With this, you don't even open a book anymore, you open the story and its universe itself...excellent work !

I love the little Aragorn stopping Pippin from throwing stones 🥰😂

This is stunning. You are magical, Martina. 😭

Martina! You are so talented!! Just the sketching alone is remarkable, then you add magic with the watercolors!! I'm blown away. These turned out so amazing. I could no sooner pick a favorite of these books to read than pick a favorite painting. You did good girl!!💕

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit" Well, somewhere in Norway there lives a lady named Martina, and her mind-boggling creativity entertains millions of people around the world, this is just amazing. Edit: the door of Moria is an excellent subject for the Lord of the Rings.

I think the best part of these videos is the genuine joy and appreciation of the one's own work. Especially young artists are often self-deprecating when talking about projects they've done, so it's a great example to set! It'd be impossible for me as a viewer to find anything to pick on in anything on this channel, all the projects are so beautiful and magical, but I'm sure Martina and Hansi are their own biggest critics. Still, they don't let it show in a non-constructive way. So happy to watch these videos

I’ve been watching your channel for a couple of years now, and some of your projects just go beyond “wow”. This being one of them! So today I subscribed. I was a bit skeptical at first, with this painting on books idea, because I had the fears you had. But you have made it so that even I would try it on one of my books to see how it turns out! Great job, and wonderful books to paint on!

Ah finally the thing that I did to timepass in school became real art.

Watercolour especially on a small scale is such a tough art medium, stacked books are a very tough canvas... and Martina just gigachaded her way through to beautiful, magical art pieces

You are the only KZread channel that, as soon as a new video comes out, I have to watch it IMMEDIATELY, regardless of what it is. Simply wonderful! Keep up the amazing work!

I genuinely enjoy watching all of your videos. I think you're crazy talented!!! I've been dying for you to release a new book binding video as well. It's what brought me to your channel in the first place. After I watched your Tolkien book video, I knew I had to try my own hand at it. My first one didn't turn out quite like I had hoped, but I'm not giving up! Just came here to say you inspire me to keep trying. I'm excited to see all your future projects! 💜

It's super cool to see so many *different* things being used with such *diversity.* I've been working on my use of *materials* mostly inspired from *channels* like *yours* and *North of the Border* and so on!

Amazing art as always!!! On a side note, it's oddly satisfying to see your cyberpunk glove pinky moving so naturally. You're a Cyborg Martina, lol.

I love that we all know how amazing Martina is and that her project will always be mind blowing, yet she is always genuinely surprised that things turn out so well 😂💜 So talented, these are beautiful

I absolutely love your channel. Your art is stunning. There are no words for how much I want to paint like you someday! Also, after watching your videos, I really really want to bind books and rebind some of my own books because it just looks like so much fun! Keep doing amazing videos! I love seeing what you create. You have a gift!

They all look so amazing!!!!😍 please do this all to your books!!

Wow!! Just goes to show exactly how technically skilled Martina is!! Using an unfamiliar medium on a canvas that you aren’t comfortable with, yet still producing stunning paintings every time!

Everything you do is better than te previous ones, you are so amazing Martina!!

Love, love, love to see you paint! And such a fun and amazing project! More of these!

"I am not good at watercolors." - Martina Also Martina in same Video - Knocks it out of the park with her watercolor paintings on the sides of books.

If you do this again, you should try to make it so that each books artwork stands on its own but also works as a piece in the set. For example, draw the final battle scene with 1 person on each book, and the background works as a way to make the pieces cohesive.
