Is this video going to get me in trouble? Welp I’ve already started recording.
Hi, how are you doing, that’s nice.
Today I’m sharing my unpopular opinions about your favorite Art YouTubers. Actually,
I don’t know if they’re unpopular opinions or not, but I guess we’ll find out pretty
quickly once the dislikes start rolling in.
I thought it would be funny if instead of just giving my opinion on them, I also give
them a Letter Grade, kind of like I did in my art review video. So actually, that makes
this art review part two. Art review. Art rev- YES.
Now if you’re wondering how I know who you all like watching, it’s because I am behind
you right this second. Just kidding, YouTube actually show—Well I mean I’m not kidding
about that, but that’s not jhow I know. YouTube actually shows me. You’ve been exposed.
See I was just minding my own business on the YouTube homepage, looking for new drama
that I could turn into a YouTube video, when all of a sudden, I see this section called
“D’Angelo Wallace viewers also watch.” First of all, the fact that you feel the need
to watch anyone other than me is kind of—mmmm—questionable? But I mean I get it, I don’t upload every
day, so I guess that is reasonable. But then I took a look at who was in that section,
and I was just like . . .
No.
So it starts off with someone named charmberlainpaintings. Who is this, Emma Chamberlain's dad? Actually
he kind of looks like her. A lot. What? Oh. This is her dad. It’s got to be. Okay so
up first we have Emma Chamberlain’s literal dad. If he edits his videos like she does,
I’m not gonna—I'm gonna stop the video right here.
Hi. I--
Videos by painter Emma Chamberlain’s Dad. And he appears to have 150,000 subscribers.
And this video is called R U OK. All caps.
Okay. Alright, so I took a little break--
He does edit like her. I can’t do this.
Let’s see what else I got here. Alright there’s a—this is a 24 by 36 that I just
finished, of some clouds from a picture I took while driving home from LA.
Ooh. Okay so Emma Chamberlain's dad knows what he’s doing . . . in terms of painting
anyway.
It's sunny here, it's been rainy for so long, it's nice to get a bit of sun.
Hmm, well. I see his vlogs are just as riveting as Emma Chamberlain’s are. Like father,
like daughter.
Okay so, I really, really like the artwork in this video. If I had to guess I would say
that Emma Chamberlain’s dad has been painting for a really long time, and it shows. I feel
like I could learn a lot from him about landscape painting actually. Alright, it's grading time.
So Emma Chamberlain’s dad gets a—Wait . . . Did you honestly think I was about to
give him a grade? Well you were wrong. Don’t ever judge a book by it’s cover. Because
you can’t get the full extent of someone’s work from just one video and one piece of
art, and because I need this video to get stretched to ten minutes,, I’m also going
to be factoring into the grade, the Instagram accounts! So let’s take a look at Emma Chamberlain’s
Dad on Instagram.
@chamberlainpaintings Wow. Okay, these are actually amazing. Alright, this man has the
skills. I've made my decision.
So at first, I was tempted to give Emma Chamberlain’s Dad a C, for that really slow video pace.
And then when I thought about the fact that it's Emma Chamberlain’s Dad, I was just
going to give the man an F. But after looking at his amazing artwork on Instagram and seeing
that he really is like, a talented painter, I have decided that Emma Chamberlain’s Dad
gets a B+. Minus one letter grade for raising Emma Chamberlain.
Next up on this list is Eclipsing Art. This person has 33,000 subscribers and I find myself
relating to not just their profile picture, but the quality difference between their profile
picture and the banner. I feel that.
So, we are going to watch “Making art with PowerPoint...(very sorry)”. Oh boy.
I was thinking about doing a video on an art program suggested by one of you, but, why
would I do that so soon when I can tell you about the time I used PowerPoint to make a
drawing.
I actually used to make art in PowerPoint, too. Let me see if I have some. Yeah. Here
are some examples of artwork that I made entirely in Microsoft Powerpoint and then just edited
with after the fact in a free Photoshop knockoff, because that is what you do when you don’t
have money but you still want to get into digital art. Now I actually have the supplies,
I just don’t draw.
Doing things like interactive buttons, and transitions, and custom animations, yeah.
I was that hoe.
Um, yeah, I felt ready to delve into a sin that I maybe shouldn't have into.
I like how whoever this is puts more effort into her visuals than channels that have like
ten times the amount of subscribers. Uh, I could name names but that would a little shady.
As if I’m haven't been being shady this entire video. But you know the kinds of channels
I’m talking about. Anyway, I really like her presentation. Ha. Get it. Presentation.
Cuz it's a Powerpoint. Presentation. YES.
So, this is my beAuTifUL Princess Peach. I hope you like this. Kind of. Okay, I hope
you like this video, you don't have to like the art.
Okay, I love the attitude. The VIDEO was funny. The art . . . um-- I mean obviously I can’t
really judge this too harshly because it was quite literally done in Microsoft PowerPoint,
so again, this is why we are going to go to her Instagram.
@esc_ing Okay.
Woah, this is actually really pretty! Okay wow. I’ve made my decision.
I really liked the video. I appreciate the extra effort put into the visuals, and it
was funny as well. The art obviously was not amazing, but her real art is quite amazingy.
So, Eclipsing Art gets an A-. Keep it up, Eclipsing Art.
Next up on this accursed list is Dina Norlund. She appears to have 86,000 subscribers, and
a very illustrative art style. New videos every Friday. Well let me just reschedule
my root canal. Though honestly, depending on how this video is, a root canal might be
more fun. So, let’s watch “Weird mermaids for Mermay DRAW WITH ME”. All caps. Is that
a threat?
But today, the fish on the list of zesty_does_things is . . . Albino Arowana.
Albino arowana. That’s a mouthful. You know, ’m just going go ahead and skip a little
bit . . . to the very-- end. This video is kind of long. Woah!
And, we will see each other next weekend! Bye!
Okay fine, maybe I will go back and watch it. But not right now. That’s actually a
really pretty drawing, now let’s see what she has on her Instagram.
@dinanorlund. Excuse me. She has her full name as her Instagram handle? Do you know
how few people get to use their full name as their Instagram handle?I didn’t get to.
Someone made an Instagram account named @dangelowallace years ago. From what I can tell, he hasn’t
even opened the app in years. I offered to pay this man and he has no idea. Anyway--
Oop, here's this one. Ooh, oh look at this one. Okay, this person is good at what this
person does. Alright. I've made my decision.
So the video was kind of slow-paced for my liking, I’m more of a ten minute video kind
of guy. But it’s could be like pretty relaxing background noise as you're working, which
I think it actually says that on the thumbnail—Her art is really nice, she knows how to draw,
and her Instagram is especially fancy. All in all, I’m giving Dina Norlund a B-. It’s
not based off of her skill level, it's just based off of my own personal preferences.
Because that's how grading works.
Next up is Sinix Design. Now, I think Sinix actually commented that he likes my channel,
so Sinix gets an A+. Next.
Okay, so the last one I have in this list is LavenderTowne. I swear when I have sleep
paralysis, I can hear in my head “Hey everybody, it’s LavenderTowne”. I don’t know why
her videos are always in reccomdended, let alone why I always click in-- actually that’s
probably why they’re in my reccomended isn’t it. YES.
So, LavenderTowne has 800 thousand subscribrers and she uploads twice a week. Should I upload
twice a week? Maybe I’ll try uploading twice a week. Yeah. Sounds like a lot of work though.
We’re going to watch “BUZZFEED QUIZZES DESIGN MY CHARACTER”. Do we . . . want to
watch this? Hey everybody! It's LavenderTowne.
Nope.
How dare you refer to rats as a pest and put "ew" next to them. That is clearly a picture
of a pet rat, he's so cute. Leave him alone--
*sigh*
And with that, our amalgamation of all the BuzzFeed quizzes has been born.
Uh her forearm is kind of short—Is her torso like—Ow. Okay. Let me not get in trouble
in this video. The anatomy stylet hat LavenderTowne chooses to go with is very . . . interesting,
how about that.
Let me just head on over to her Instagram @lavendertowne. Okay, see I like this one
better than what was in her video. Is she pregnant--- What?! That's interesting.
But I do like some of the stuff on here. So, I have made my decision.
\
C+. It’s not a failing grade, and C’s get degrees, you know. If she was in my class,
she would pass it. Her video style just isn't my cup of tea. And the anatomy in her drawings,
ehh-- the style is really— it's broken. Like, itt looks broken. I’ve made similar
mistakes in the past however, and that is okay.
So she was actually the last person I had on this list. I have graded artists that my
viewers enjoy watching. Some of whom it seems I would enjoy watching. Others, which I was
already aware that I do not.
Anyway if you were unhapppy with any of the grades that I gave, they’re non-negotiable--
they’re based off of my opinion, so I just . . . don't care if they're fair or not.
Anyway, looks like I’ve gotten ten minutes of content out of this, so leave a like, tell
me what you think, and subscribe if you haven’t already. Thank you for watching, and a big
thank you to my one hundred and twenty thous--
