YouTube Channel so far

So I have been YouTubing since 2007.
I got monetized (monetized means making money from the videos) around the middle of 2012, but I didn't do it for the money I just accepted the opportunity.
I was sent an email in 2018 saying they were raising the bar and if I wanted to stay monetized I had to jump through new hoops. I didn't think I could make time for it so I ignored it. then a few weeks went by and I decided their email was a personal challenge.
I was also impressed with Peter Draws YouTube channel format. He makes art and monologues over it. super simple yet effective.
So I went all in. I started making videos almost daily.
I didn't reach the thresholds before they demonetized me but I kept working and a little over a year later got remonetized.
that was beginning of June 2019.
I have continued to make videos and trying to put out helpful content regarding Art and art projects. I am at around 2,630 subscribers and almost 400 videos. I average around 583 views a day
My most popular videos this month are "P.R.E.P.A.R.E.", "The Elements and Principles", "Negative Space Project", and Honing Your Shading Skills"

Thanks for reading my little blog and supporting me.

Customized Sketchbook Cover - Resin Filled - theartroject

I always make the cover of my sketchbook my own. I am not usually this involved in it. recently I have started experimenting with resin. When I started getting close to the end of my last sketchbook I started thinking about how I could manipulate the cover of my new sketchbook with resin. Here is the result. I saw a lot of resin art online and thought I'd give it a try. some of the stuff I saw were wood and resin or concrete and resin, resin tables, resin casting and resin jewelry. This is a lot simpler than all that.
