When making this type of video it is imported that you cater to all sorts of different aspects about what it is you're doing no matter what platform you'd be using. The most common platform to find viral videos on is 'YouTube' so that is what we will be focusing on.

Depending if you want to do a time-lapse or a voice over tutorial you still need to be able to appeal to people in order to make your video popular and noticeable to the public.

The more serious channels will normally have longer and more detailed videos and very little for beginners while the other's would have a wider range of all sorts of different videos.

Many popular creators use different ways of engaging the audience by demonstrating many different skills and techniques that might not be common among other creators or they encourage their viewers to create their own art, videos, etc. by creating competitions for fans to win a prize.

Now that that has been said, let's get down to the do's and don'ts of creating your very own art video! :D

The Do's

    Image result for painting art supplies png
  • Video Length: A video's length needs to relate to what you're doing, if it's just drawing a smiley face then you wouldn't need an hour long video for that.
  • Thumbnail: A person's first impression of your video matters, does it match your title? does it match the type of art your claiming it to be? For example: if you created a video about watercolour painting but then what's actually in your video is sketches of the Simpsons? That just doesn't make sense...
  • Music: Adding music could have a 50/50 effect, so people love it especially if your doing a time-lapse based video. However, if you've chosen to do a simple voice over tutorial then it's probably better to just skip the music.
  • Equipment: It is always better to try an use the correct equipment/ supplies no matter what you've chosen to do.
  • Setup: Have an exciting and engaging setup, but make sure it isn't distracting from the art. You could even try to use themes for your different videos. For example: If it's Halloween you could hang some spiderwebs in the background :D

  • Relatable: Does your video make sense? Art doesn't necessarily need to have a set system (like at all) but it's always important that your audience knows what you're doing. 
  • Setup: Having an awesome setup is always important but sometimes if it is over cluttered with too many things that it'll distract your audience from what you're doing. 
  • Music: Rave dubstep music doesn't exactly suit a peaceful sunset painting.... Make sure that your music is related to what you're doing. Or at least not distracting and making people deaf.
  • Criticism: Dude your on the internet, be prepared some some serious criticism, use it constructively, it may annoy you at first but that person may have a point and it could help you in the future.
  • Honesty: Be honest about your art, don't lie your way through it and make people think you did something you didn't. Trust me it'll catch up to you eventually.

  social media vs reality  Have you ever wondered if what you see on social media is what people are actually doing? me too. The first thing you would do when you wake up in the morning is check your social media, yes? Well did you know that what you may be seeing might not be what people are really doing. One of the biggest current issues with social media is how people portray their life on social media and the possibility that people’s perceptions are warped. 2.1 billion people have social media, that’s a lot! people will often take multiple pictures just to put them through multiple different editing apps only to add a filter but life doesn’t have a filter But the real question is how many people are lying or being deceiving about what they are really doing? Or how it really looks? According to https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com Over 75% lie on social media, so here’s another question what could they possibly b...
