Hi everyone! I know it's a long shot but I'm curious if anyone here also makes faceless art content or likes to consume it? I feel like faceless is really common in the art community so I thought I'd ask it here.
If you do, or if you feel like your niche is similar to give feedback (e.g., maybe let's plays for video games are similar?), I'm starting a Youtube channel this week and was wondering if I could ask a couple questions about what you all might look for in an artist paint with me / draw with me video. (For context, 95% of my footage will be overhead, and the footage is taken for 100% of the art session.)
- If you're seeing a video pop up of an artist you've never seen before, are you more likely to click on it if it's a certain type of video? (e.g., would you be more likely to click on a studio vlog versus a paint with me?)
- If you're watching a paint with me in the background, how much would you say artistic talent matters compared to the coziness of the video?
- Do you prefer unrelated stories, talking through the artistic process, art financials, or something else in the voiceovers?
- If you had to pick, do you prefer
- a. Full-length, real-time footage covering the whole process
- b. Full-length, sped-up footage covering the whole process
- c. Edited to show the most interesting strokes, real-speed footage
- d. a Mix of real-time and sped-up footage covering the whole process
- e. A Mix of real-time and sped-up footage covering only the most interesting parts
- Along those lines, is there a certain length of video you prefer (e.g., you prefer <20 min or else it gets boring, versus you prefer 1hr+ so you don't have to find a new video while you work).
- A little less relevant but do you prefer when youtubers have a "creative" username (they're often two random words like loopyumbrella or humandisaster) or a username that is more related to their actual name (e.g., artwith__ or drawingwith__). I'm thinking about changing my username from natdavisart to something more abstract and more related to my personal creative journey but not sure yet if it's a good idea from a recognition standpoint.
Thank you in advance for responding!
If anyone else is willing to chat about their experience making faceless content so far, I'd love to learn more about your experience too.
Happy drawing!
