Follow me on Facebook for Livestream drawing

In case you don’t know, I’ve been livestreaming some of my drawing processes on facebook for the last few weeks and have been getting mostly positive feedbacks from people. So if this is something you’re interested in, please follow me on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/hahuyhoang.art to get updates on my weekly livestreams.

If you don’t have time for livestreams and prefer timelapse videos of my drawing process, I also have these available on my Patreon when you become a patron over there. So consider pledging $2 or more if you want to watch me draw in videos like that. http://www.patreon.com/splendidriver

Loads of new drawings

Hi everyone,

I’ve been pretty lazy about posting here on wordpress because I have so many social medias to handle, one of which is Patreon, which is not easy. And also because I haven’t had anything exciting and new for a while now. So here’s a big post for a lot of new drawings I’ve been doing lately as a daily exercise to get back into the routine. I’m trying to do my sketches in smaller sketchbooks so I can finish them faster, making it more of an “exercise” rather than a “task” that I HAVE to finish everyday. Also, I’m experimenting a lot with new tools like smaller tip felt pens and colored markers. I hope you like this as much I as did doing it.

Also, if you’re interested, I posted a lot of cool things like process GIFs and scanned version of these drawings on my Patreon right here http://www.patreon.com/splendidriver , please come by and take a look and may be become on of my patrons who get exclusive things every week. Or you can simply spread the word around and let more people know about what I’m doing here would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Pay the artist

The message is pretty clear. Artists are human also, we also need food to survive to keep producing artworks, we also have families to take care of, we also have bills and needs, just like any of you guys. We can not work for Free and still be able to live and work and draw. So please, if you’re intending on having an artist to do some work for you, be prepare to pay them what’s worth their efforts and time and talent.

For you artists out there, ALWAYS ask for a clear contract that will protect you from being ripped off by companies or individuals, and ALWAYS take the money in a whole OR in parts UP FRONT before you even lay your pencil on the paper. Educate yourself in how to do business and protect your art, your career, and yourself. DON’T ever do works for FREE, because it will hurt not only you but the whole industry. People will look down on you and think that artists are not worth money because they’re willing to work for FREE. NO, be careful, be smart, be prepare, ALWAYS have a rate for yourself, be aware of who you are, how good you are and ask for payment.

Spread the message out as far as you can and raise awareness in communities around the world, make people respect art and artists more, and help each other make a career in a safe working environment for artists.

Thank you.

Hãy chung tay đòi lại công bằng cho các họa sĩ. Cái này mình gửi tới tất cả các doanh nghiệp Việt Nam hiện đang thuê những họa sĩ/nhà thiết kế/bất kể những ai làm công việc sáng tạo – hãy tôn trọng họ, đối xử công bằng với họ, và trả lương/trả tiền công cho họ xứng đáng với những công sức và sự sáng tạo mà họ bỏ ra. Vì một họa sĩ không chỉ vẽ 1 bức tranh trong 15 phút, đó là hàng chục năm học hành, luyện tập để trở thành những họa sĩ cực kỳ giỏi giang, và rồi mới đến 15 phút đó. Họa sĩ cũng là người, họ cũng cần phải ăn cơm, họ cũng có gia đình, con cái, nhu cầu cá nhân để sống, để thở, để tồn tại.

Với các bạn họa sĩ – ĐỪNG BAO GIỜ để cho người ta bóc lột của bạn, hãy LUÔN LUÔN nhận tiền TRƯỚC KHI LÀM VIỆC, kèm theo 1 HỢP ĐỒNG ràng buộc rõ ràng. Vì nếu như bạn chỉ cần làm việc miễn phí, dù chỉ MỘT lần thôi, bạn sẽ tạo ra một thói quen CỰC KỲ xấu cho những người CẦN bạn, những người thuê bạn, khiến cho họ tưởng rằng họa sĩ là bọn rẻ tiền, ít giá trị, và không muốn trả tiền cho bạn.

Hãy copy thông điệp này và gửi đi càng nhiều nơi càng tốt, blog, vlog, facebook, tumblr, twitter, bằng tiếng nước nào cũng được. Hãy tự tạo cho chúng ta 1 môi trường làm việc chuyên nghiệp, lành mạnh, và công bằng cho tất cả những người làm nghề sáng tạo, để chúng ta có thể gây dựng 1 sự nghiệp dựa trên những gì chúng ta đã phải học tập, luyện tập trong rất rất nhiều năm.
