It’s too bad you’re not happy with this piece because I absolutely love it!! Probably my favourite of the three.

thank you! :)

Ugh your my no.1 inspiration!!! You need to do a sketchbook tour soon!!! I can’t get enough of your semi realism style sketches!

Being critical of one’s own work is necessary to getting better at what you’re doing. You are also not responsible for how others feel. That is on them.

The composition and lightening is fantastic, and the characters are so cute! Maybe the leafs and wines are to dark... love the cat! 😂😘❤️

Well actually I 💙💚💜💛 the way the architecture paintwork turned out. The cafe kind of resembles an older type of architecture and the brushstrokes give me that atmospheric feel ......they belong. I love the exposure effect to that's quite cool. Yes you're right about feedback on your self critique I think you're being unnecessarily hard on yourself but if that's what keeps you moving forward in your creative style or art in general so be it ....but oh the pressure...

wahh this is my favorite outta the series! I like the gnome characters in a modern setting, which is interesting to look at as opposed to a fairytale setting.

The walls remind me of the rough, plastered walls in Europe, and my time living there, so I absolutely love them. But I also know you have to feel the art you are creating and I can't create if I don't "like" it. But I love your honesty!

Beautiful & full of touching atmosphere! Happy vacation!

I think this is the cutest picture.

This is seriously the cutest! I hope you revisit it and see how amazing it is.

i don't think you should ever hold back from critiqueing your own art in videos. all artists need to learn that the way you improve is by being critical of everything and always looking for ways to improve. it's not saying 'i think this is really bad' just 'i know it could be better, so i am disappointed' also i really love the composition, and it's super cute, but i agree theres something off about the colors or contrast. but it's still really cute and im sure people would still want to buy prints

I think it's so lovely! It's just so cute and how the cat is too. I adore it xxx

I think it's a joly nice painting! 😊 really like that light source option. Challenging but very nice

Maybe consider rendering the leaves with some subsurface scattering? It could add a lot of brightness and contrast to the foreground, which might be what it needs.

You’re are so good at traditional art and you’re on of my big inspirations to keep going when drawing traditionally love you keep up the good work

maann! this piece is beautiful! I think in most cases, artists are hardly every fully satisfied with their own work because they have an ideal view of how they want the piece to turn out as, and it's something that most people cant see, because they have different visions.. if any xD Keep up the good work!!!

I think this is really lovely. The texture of the paint is beautiful.

I actually really like this painting.

Awwww...Poor Kitty. Don't worry, we'll fall in love with this piece for you.

The vines are well done with the depth shown with the shadows on the wall. I also like how they hang down and you included two flowers. Just love that. And the cat! HAAHA! Adorable! And Hey...just an idea...I like how this turned out, however if you aren't happy with it, do it again in watercolor. It has been a while but I did one of my drawings in copic, watercolor and colored pencil. I was indecisive about the finish and so I just did it with all three mediums. I enjoyed watching!

All I saw was magic ♥ You draw amazingly!!! Lots of love from Brazil =)

You have to be hard on yourself to make it good. I love the final, looks amazing.

i like the cat on the painting

I love the lighting, it dose remind me of Norman Rockwell

It’s a wonderful painting.

I really like the composition and the lighting but see what you meant with the struggle with the gouache. I do like the texture that created on the walls though. I really hope to see more in this series. The characters are adorable and they can be put in so many situations 💙💙 more please 💙💙

I know it doesnt help a bit when you are not happy about your own piece, but oh my lord this is so lovely. I would def buy a print. I admire your work a lot. Thanks for sharing!

And yes, being critial about my own work always helps me evolve and grow

It’s been years since this was video was posted but I hope you still have this piece because it Is simply amazing. You are your worst critic, but I hope you have returned to this piece to see how much you’ve grown since. As a fellow artist, I totally understand this feeling you feel about certain pieces after completing them. However, looking back it on it should not show you a failure,but a step to the right direction ( I love this piece btw) .an artist can hate the work but the work can find a heart out there :) keep up the amazing content friend.

That looks really cool. Not bad at all. Love that style too.

PLEASE SELL THIS ONE!! I LOVE IT

I think it's the black and white Arches border showing that's throwing you off. Hum. Something to consider. I think it's adorable and perfection.

I just LOVE this piece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that's super normal for you not to enjoy certain pieces and I think it's fuel to make better pieces. Do you Chris!!

this is my favorite peice of yours!!!!

I personally love this piece. It can be a taste thing. I don't know. As long as you are being honest, I think it's okay that you are hard on yourself, mainly if you can recognize when you love a piece too. But I do love this one and I think prints should be available 😁

Gosh, I love this series! I'm a big fan of the sparklies you put around the gnomes, too! ✨

I can understand why there are some parts in the architecture parts where you might not like, Although I think it gives soul to the illustration! I really love it anyway❤️

I love this piece.

I personally think you did an amazing job with this picture.

"The cat is not that important" awee poor kitty :(

The architectural elements were painted nicely! The texture gives a character of an old classic cafe. I love it!

cat makes it so vivid

I understand you don't feel satisfied with this piece, but you need to understand that some people might love it despite that. It's so beautiful 💝

Lovely

I love it!😍

Well, I love it!

love it

Wonderful

Towards judging my own artwork I am exactly the same way. I feel that if we are critical on our own artwork that will help us improve further.

I would love to see you “re-do” this in transparent watercolors. I’d like to see how different the two would compare.

Love your stuff keep going 💙

I love love love this piece

I love it!!!

This piece is so beautiful

I love this piece! 😍

I love it!! it's magical in so many ways!!

what a beautiful peace! I love it :D Well done!

This is absolutely beautiful and amazing 😱😍

I SO love this!

Its AMAZING girl! Love it so much

Wow this is stunning!

This appears perfect! Can't wait around to notice the same as this. Great job.

It's very beatiful.😀

I am in love with your style! Beautiful!

oh man I love your art so much! so inspiring makes me wanna start doing water color again

i loved this!!!!! its tres cute!!

cool. im inspired. *also thanks for letting us in your head! :)

I love it 😍 the shading and light are wonderful. Love the stars all of it ...

Chris Hong I love your art and you inspire me😃😃😄

I love that you show your process and teach us about certain things like lighting. Very nice!

I think my biggest critique is the shadow colors - the light coming through the window is very cool, so the shadows on the characters should be very warm, but instead you've painted them fairly cool, and almost too gray. I love your art style and it's been fun binging on your videos 😻. Also, calico cats are almost always female.

I'm so glad you uploaded this even though you don't love the way it turned out. 😊 I do love it!!

I love your videos so much! After watching it I feel so inspired! Thank you so much and good luck~

Hermoso! ♥ is a totally inspiration for me♥

nice ! it was hypnotizing watching you paint this and I love how it turned out!

Cute! The cat is just so adorable haha.

Love you videos

i love this painting, my favourite part is how the faces just kind of pop out at you? it's very nice and satisfying in a way :)

I miss Notting!! ITS SO great and cute😍

Wow you did really really well on this one... well you do every time, but i love this so much! The face highlights and shadows are so amazing god

It's very beautiful nonetheless :)

The thumbnail looks amazing.

Hi, Chris! I just wanted to say that you're totally right not going too easy on yourself. I think this is the only way to truly improve yourself. As to the piece, it's gorgeous! Yes, I did notice that the pigment was uneven on the structure of the walls but I didn't dwell on it, just acknowledged it and moved on as the video went. To me, it just added a bit of vintage vibe to your piece. Nothing could possibly steal the charm from it. :)

I really like your work.It’s beautiful and very cute!You should trust yourself more!

Your painting is beautiful! And just do what feels right for you, no need to worry about us too much we are just like the cat in the background. If it doesn't bother you then let it be what it is. Also have fun on your vacation .

Just found your channel and I'm glad I did. I rarely listen to all of the commentary but so far I always find you very engaging. Thanks for the great art and showing us your process!

this is amazing!!!!!!:-:👌🌹💘

Hi Chris, this is super cute 💞 Also 'Sadie saves the day' has a really good review on these W&N paints, this may help you understand where the struggles come from.

This is incredibly so beautiful and cute tho. I seriously thought its digital art at first glance. The way you worked with the colours, blending, lighting, composition, etc... it's all perfect and comfortable in the viewer's eye!

good

Hey. Wonderful video. I like your art style too.

Mi piace troppo!

Really wonderful work! I love how you use Gouache. I'm still a Gouache-Beginner and its wonderful to see how it can be going If I Stay tuned to this Medium. You're a very good inspiration 💕

I'm so sad that you don't like this piece, because I love it soooo much! I would love to own a print of this. The lighting is magical and the characters are just so adorable. I can't believe how beautiful this piece is and it would make a perfect Valentine's Day gift!

It's really awesome and it's so well explained, I never really have the courage to go and make illustration because I feel like I lack a lot of aknowledge and you explained so well every choice you made. It's really pointy and really interesting. It's just so educative and yet it's super chill. Plus showing you preliminary research is the best thing you could ever do. Instead of just showing a nice pic and a speed paint you really made it easy to understand and to follow and so easy to synthesis the steps . Instead of just being "wow it's amazing, I would never be able to do that" you manage to turn this into "Wow it's amazing, and really complex, but yet I understand a bit of this complexicity and this light and shadow play, values play, and so I can really appreciate this piece and I know why it's so magic" I really love you, I m going to follow now and watch every single video, I love you

Would love see some more of the sketches and color thumbnailing (maybe your thoughts on the process?)! Love love love your videos, I look forward to them every friday
