Christmas Cards 2013

Tämä postaus tulee valitettavan myöhässä, mutta tässä on muutama lähettämistäni joulukorteista. Ja lopussa vielä yksi söpö Hongkongista kirjekaverilta saamani joulukortti.

It's really late for this but I'll show you a few of the Christmas cards I sent.

And here's a cute Christmas card I got from Hong Kong from one of my penpals.

100 Art Video Ideas for YouTube

Image
Having trouble coming up with ideas for art projects, art blog posts or art YouTube channel videos? I've listed 100 (or 101) art video title or topic ideas for YouTube in this post. A lot of them work for blog posts, too. Some of them you can use as ideas for you art projects that you don't even post online. I divided the list into sections: general art video title ideas, art challenges, art tutorials, themed artworks and art series. Some art challenges have many versions of them (3 marker challenge, 2 marker challenge and 1 marker challenge or 10 minute and 30 minute drawing challenge), but I'll just name one of the versions.

How to Make Art/DIY YouTube Videos | Beginner's Guide + Free Checklist
