AetherCon is now over, whew!
I loved checking out other artists doing live tutorials and chatting with them, I'd definitely do that again. Only downside was that things were always just picking up when I had to go to sleep. One night I woke up at 6 am to find that there was awesome things going on at the artist hangouts, but was way too tired to follow what was happening and collapsed back to bed!
Talking about myself for such long periods of time at a time for my own streams sure was tiring. It was my first time doing any streaming, so I was a bit nervous going in, but having to do it was certainly helpful, I'd never have figured out how to stream videos for one if it hadn't been for the con! I hope my voice didn't grate anyone's ears too badly.
So I'll recommend this to anyone, streaming with google+ hangouts to youtube is super easy! And as a bonus once the streaming is complete youtube will save the video and even lets you edit it, so you can cut away the boring parts and appear awesome! Disclamer: I haven't done that.
My (unedited) streams are still available for viewing on my youtube account www.youtube.com/user/JaanaHeis… for anyone who missed them. I'm thinking I might do some more streaming in the future if I can think of good (and maybe a bit shorter) subjects, so if there's anything you'd like to see tell me!

Hello after a looong while
Hey everyone! I know I have been gone for a loong time, I hope you have all been well! The last few years have played havoc on my art life, as I’ve had two kids, and time and sleep have been scarce. My daughter is now one, and I’ve been scraping by little bits of time to make art again for the past six months. I think I’ve made real progress though! I’ve always felt a bit dissatisfied with a lot of art I was making, like I’d come up with a good idea for a painting I’d be technically satisfied with, but just lack motivation to see it through. So I’ve been spending a lot of time finding what actually inspires me and how to dig art from those inspirations. It’s still a work in progress, but expect to see things that come from nature, a vintage vibe and watercolor and ink. I’ll be working on posting up stuff I’ve been working on in a bit! Stay safe and healthy all!
500 Watchers Celebration!
I feel like a total dork in social media in general, so at this time I'd just like to add a big thank you to everyone for watching, it means a lot to me!
As a little update on what's up, I'm continuing my personal project of which
is the first completed piece. 4 more pieces in the same vein should follow during January. I'm super happy to be trying out something totally new and diving into traditional media, I was starting feel really stuck in my work for some reason. I've been blogging a lot about the progress I'm making, so head over there for any progress shots and musings!

Great Art Books for Beginners
I started a series of posts about art books I like over at my blog. As the first installment I'm listing all the art books I loved or wished I had when starting out.
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards
Drawn to life by Walt Stanchfield vol 1 and 2
The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals by Joe Weatherly
The Practice and Science of Drawing by Harold Speed
Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters by Robert Beverly Hale
See the post for individual run down of the books, and why I think they are great.
Want a a tutorial? Ask for tutorial!
So lately I have been dipping my toe into tutorial making, by doing a few very straightforward pieces, one on Photoshop vectors and layers (apple tutorial) and the other for making cool journal buttons (aren't they cool?!).
Here's where you come in! I'd like to write some more tutorials, but obviously it's a lot more rewarding to write about stuff people actually want to know. So what do you want to learn from me? I won't promise instant delivery, but I'll take all suggestions under consideration!
Also, any feedback on the clarity and pacing etc of the current tutorials is welcome, help me improve!
