Today I uploaded my first ever YouTube video. I’ve never created or edited a video before so it was a rather steep learning curve. Thankfully, once I learned the basics, I found it pretty easy to carry on learning on my own.
The video has been uploaded to my YouTube channel Cerys Bailey Art, and you can view the video HERE.
I decided that making videos of my art was a good way to get my art seen by people on different platforms, especially YouTube. I feel like it’s a great way to show people what the process of creating my art is, with the hope of promoting digital art in general too. I’ve never really had anyone sit down and watch me do my art from start to finish either, so it’s both lovely and slightly nerve-wracking.
Another reason I started my YT channel is that I want to show off the beauty of where I live. I live in such a beautiful country, and North Wales honestly takes my breath away, every day. I aim to create more art on my channel that showcases the pride I have for where I live.
I am also trying my hardest to make sure my channel is bilingual, with both English and Welsh subtitles and descriptions. I do speak Welsh but I’m admittedly not as fluent as I’d like to be, therefore I’m hoping that this will help to keep me current in the Welsh language and keep my videos accessible.
My channel is going to hopefully help people progress their art further by showing the techniques I use when drawing.
I hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to my channel while you’re there.
Cerys, out!
