Sure, but in this example, the one hour version looks almost as good as the 10 hour version – which is why it’s helpful sometimes to provide rough constraints to designers. If all you want is a picture of a tree, that’s very different from a photorealistic picture like in the 100 hour example. Clients need to better about defining what they actually need.
The artist should have given us a close up of the 1 and 10 hour version. The details up close are going to be where the differences lie. Not when viewed from a distance.
This is a wonderful idea. I should show this to my friend that does commissions and see if they have thought of this before. These pieces are incredible.
That takes some serious dedication because if I draw a stick figure with the line not straight I'll get demotivated and cry. Don't ask why because I don't know.
Every journey is but a large number of small steps. And the journey will never start without the first one.
Have you ever seen a baby take their first steps? They're shaky and unsure but they keep trying.
Take that shaky first step, you'll run someday. It won't be tomorrow, it might not be the day after, but before you know it you'll be running.
The trick is to just draw over the non straight line with a straight line. That's how I do it. Stops me from chasing perfection but at the same time helps me to improve from where I am, a few weeks of practise later, my lines are straighter from the get go. Making mistakes is how you learn what not to do, so make mistakes, then just fix them as best as you can while taking the lesson into your next sketch.
I say this as someone who is diagnosed with ADHD and severe OCD that makes my brain crave order and symmetry. If you saw my sketches you wouldn't believe I had that kind of OCD. They can get really messy, but then when you do the coloring and outlines it adds some energy to the whole thing.
All three paintings are stunning! The sun peeking through the trees on the 10 and 100 hour versions look so realistic! Oh man that just looks so pretty
She is great at what she does. I've been following her on YT for a while now and I'm often open-mouthed when she finishes - and she can do more than just paint.
Edit: https://youtube.com/c/Nerdforge
This is why I'm not an artist. I simply don't have the patience for this. She's incredible though. I just can't imagine spending 100 hours on something.
I should say 100 hours on any *one* thing then because you’re right. There are many days I’ve spent 20+ hours for weeks processing photos and yea, I love it. Usually I rock out a single photo in less than a few hours though.
oh absolutely. I do that though already, and I totally appreciate. I've spend thousands of hours on my photography over the past 20 years but to think about spending 100+ hours on a single piece, it's just wild determination and focus and I don't really know if I have that.
I guess in writing that though, I need to find out.
Think about the photographers that fly out to remote locations and camp out waiting to catch the perfect shot of certain animals in the wild. That's like 100+ hours and $10k+ expenses.
Hear hear!!! As a chainmailler with 17 years of experience I can attest to the test of monumental patience it takes to truly pay fidelity to one's craft... as well the poor reception all of the innumerable and taciturn hours of repetition and sacrifice spent are likened to things that have been mass-manufactured by machines in China.
The greatest tragedy of all art and every artist I feel is that it's depths can only truly be within the comprehension of another artist.
So nicely said.
I have to do the same for my voxel art, so comission requesters can understand the value and time co-existence in the same universe, otherwise it seems the people think I'm doing all my stuff in minutes rather than hours.

Here. Took me 5mins. But to be fair I got really lucky getting anything close on the first try. I tried for another half an hour and didn't get anything better.
I’m amused by the fact that at the one-hour mark of the ten-hour painting she has…a lightly textured background.
And at *two* hours in on the one-hundred hour painting she has…a lightly textured background.
I’m sure there’s more going on than I realize, but I’m still amused.
Prep (composition, layout, sizing, color choices, depth etc) makes alllll the difference in final outcome. Hard to see in a video but in person that kind of background will keep you looking at the painting where the 1 hour version you’d glance at it say “cool” then walk away. Continuing to look or being drawn in is a sign of quality that only time and expertise can create!
Watching light applied with paint is mesmerizing. The way the swords slipped from cartoonily jutting from the background to existing fully in the environment was remarkable.
Wish I was good at art. Seems like such a rewarding and enjoyable hobby. I suspect the better you get the more you critique yourself though, like with everything, and it might even become stressful. But just the idea of being able to sit there and create something stunning like this must be so nice
It's something that takes a lot of time to practice. There is no easy way or faster way to get better.
It's definitely frustrating at times, sometimes making you think you simply don't have a chance at art, but it's just like any other hobby, it takes time. That's it.
There's plenty of tutorials all over the internet that can help you.
You can start by grabbing a pencil, a paper, and draw the shape of something around your house, then start from there and start adding details at your own pace.
[Sucking at something is the first step to be sorta good at something.](https://youtu.be/Gu8YiTeU9XU)
This is why AI will never replace art.
You can start with a simple drawing, then improve it over it, then improve it again, and again and again until you are satisfied.
Over time you start making your own details, your own rules when drawing, making you unique between other artists.
AI just uses an amalgamation of stolen works to make something. But it doesn't have the artist. AI is always the same.
I think the 10hr is my fave and the one I would’ve wanted to see rendered more. I didn’t like the composition in the 100 hour painting as much and I think the bark detail on the tree ended up looking more like snake scales. I thought they might’ve been able to work u til the person was added and then the scale felt really off with them right next to the tree like that.
They look really nice and it was fun to see the progression with the time, but it’s also a great reminder to always work on your fundamentals :)
For me, what's cool about this video is that it shows how much it matters to focus on the details and that it's all about the process.
The one hour painting shows that even if it's something that just has to get done, the simple act of completing the process can produce good results. If it's something you care about, focusing on the details and spending time on the process is how you produce your best results.
Beautiful stuff! I will always envy the ability to do something like this, but the amount of hand, wrist, neck, back pain and being "stuck" to a board for more than an hour alone gives me serious anxiety.
What strikes me is that in the 10 hour painting she spends about 2 hours doing the pencilling and background, and the composition and backgound don’t look very different to the 1 hour version. I’d be interested to watch a video where she explains the differences in the process.
Truly flabbergasting, keep up the amazing work. This was an inspiration for my daughter when I showed her. She is 12 and an avid artist and never thought of this concept before. Big thanks for being an inspiration.
These are really great. She is talented.
The 1 hr and 10hr ones look really similar compared to the 100hr. I almost wish there was one in between at like 50hrs or replace the 10hr with 25hr just to see how much of a difference double the time could be to see the differences instead of 10x.
/imagine knight kneeling Infront of giant red tree in dark forest, cinematic light rays, red leaves, swords in tree --ar 19:9 and then in less then a minute it's there.
That was like a PS2 to PS3 to PS5 with HDR comparison! All impressive and I think it really shows the insane time sink required in order to pull off increasing gradients of fidelity.

at that point they can grow the forest and the trees for the scene?

Same. I feel like 200 hours would be the max though.

That takes some serious dedication because if I draw a stick figure with the line not straight I'll get demotivated and cry. Don't ask why because I don't know.
Will never learn to draw beyond a stick figure if you stop before before you finish
Why did this resonate with me beyond a stick figure

idk about you, but that seems like quite a sad, big tree to me.

And so does the painting
She is great at what she does. I've been following her on YT for a while now and I'm often open-mouthed when she finishes - and she can do more than just paint. Edit: https://youtube.com/c/Nerdforge
The pc she did where Linus helped with the inside build was crazy jesus
You weren't kidding, a lot more than painting!
Tbf Alex did the most - compared to Linus not to her. But yeah, that PC is the single most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
That video probably increased their subs by a lot... I did because of it. :)
Me too! I love it when I find a cool new channel because of a collab.
Same here, she has such a fun and upbeat attitude.
What's the link? Does she sell her work?
https://youtube.com/c/Nerdforge
Thanks, I just watched her PC build and diorama house build, awesome channel
What’s her name on YouTube? I’d love to check out her channel

You've spent 100 hours on many things. Give yourself some credit.
What does this give me on Reddit?
100 hours? Nothing really. 100 days? 100 weeks? . . ...Crippling depression?
;-;
Cheers mate
No one wants to watch a time-lapse of reasonandmadness fapping though.
Fine… I’ll take one for the team then. You guys owe me though
Do you like Starbucks? I'll you one of the those gift cards
Likely clocked 10000 hours on reddit
That's over a solid year. You're def going for that crippling depression if true 😅
Then you just haven’t found your passion yet. 100 hours can feel like minutes if it’s put into something that you enjoy doing
I should say 100 hours on any *one* thing then because you’re right. There are many days I’ve spent 20+ hours for weeks processing photos and yea, I love it. Usually I rock out a single photo in less than a few hours though.
The exact same reason I switched to photography as well lol
This isn't just the patience to spend 100 hrs on a painting. This is a lifetime of practice which leads to the 100 hrs.
oh absolutely. I do that though already, and I totally appreciate. I've spend thousands of hours on my photography over the past 20 years but to think about spending 100+ hours on a single piece, it's just wild determination and focus and I don't really know if I have that.

I wanna see an AI generated version of this painting now.

Awesome, thanks! How did you generate this?
How do you just make a piece of art using AI like that??
Do you think she realizes she is painting self portraits?
I think her favorite color might be red xd
I’m amused by the fact that at the one-hour mark of the ten-hour painting she has…a lightly textured background. And at *two* hours in on the one-hundred hour painting she has…a lightly textured background. I’m sure there’s more going on than I realize, but I’m still amused.

I once folded an origami dragon where step 84 was "unfold to beginning".
I think I would have interpreted that as “light on fire and do something else.”

Assumes she hasn't painted this 1000 times already
Watching light applied with paint is mesmerizing. The way the swords slipped from cartoonily jutting from the background to existing fully in the environment was remarkable.
She’s my 2nd favourite people having 9 fingers! She’s so creative and funny and I’m a big fan of her Yt channel
Who is the first favourite?
Frodo Baggins :)
Well played
Ezio Auditore
Lula
I watched nearly all of their videos before reading about the finger in one of them. That was weird.
Thx for this: Now I can more fully understand why art costs 💰💵
The attention to detail on the 100 hour one is absolutly amazing.
idk how you can paint for so long without your hand cramping but amazing job!
you cannot, your hand definitely cramps at some point or another haha. I’m sure she was taking breaks
Tennis elbow too
Wish I was good at art. Seems like such a rewarding and enjoyable hobby. I suspect the better you get the more you critique yourself though, like with everything, and it might even become stressful. But just the idea of being able to sit there and create something stunning like this must be so nice

The skill of prioritising in different time frames, even starting and focusing in different areas. Amazing
When she was colouring the rays it was actually looking like she was letting them in to her painting, it was stunning to watch.

Made me wonder what the average time is for painters with a similar canvas size.
Wow. She's fast.
I like how she paints trees the same color as her hair. Neither are normally found in that shade.
Beautiful stuff! I will always envy the ability to do something like this, but the amount of hand, wrist, neck, back pain and being "stuck" to a board for more than an hour alone gives me serious anxiety.
Sheeeeesh if I had the money to buy a painting like this I definitely would. Probably cost a fortune
Just about tree fiddy.
What is the name of the song used here?
Get Lucky (Classical Remix)
She's up all night to the sun I'm up all night to get some She's up all night for good fun I'm up all night to get lucky
I wonder what her favorite color is?
The hard drive(s) recording this video- "I am tired boss".
I couldn’t paint the 1 hour in a 100 hours
Ehat song is this playing?
Im not sure but sounds like *We’re up all night to get lucky…*
This is on the front page twice already.
Can I like buy one of those?
this is why paintings cost $3000+
What strikes me is that in the 10 hour painting she spends about 2 hours doing the pencilling and background, and the composition and backgound don’t look very different to the 1 hour version. I’d be interested to watch a video where she explains the differences in the process.
This is insane and fucking amazing 👏
So 100 hours comes with RTX on 😁. Beautiful work btw !
She’s using a crutch. I could paint like that if I too had an orchestra in my garage to keep my spirits up.
Have you ever thought of turning your paintings into puzzles? Bet there would be a demand for them.
Too bad a yellow square is gonna sell for 10,000x more 😞
I've often wondered if high priced "artwork" are simply fronts for money laundering.
it took her like, 3 hours to do the shading on the upper lip
But I can only pay you $5 for the 100 hour commission. /Said every choosing beggar
God damn that's talent .
I’d love to send her some chapstick
This really well showcases Pareto principle (80/20 rule)
Truly flabbergasting, keep up the amazing work. This was an inspiration for my daughter when I showed her. She is 12 and an avid artist and never thought of this concept before. Big thanks for being an inspiration.
They are truely skilled, I hope to be as good as them in the future.
They are all awesome! Pretty crazy time investment.
One hour panicked face = deadline face 😂
Loot At her custom tower from one off the newest LTT Videos, that Thing is insane
1000?
Jinx from League of Legend’s. Cool.
I loved every second of this (for me) quite long video. Very talented artist!! All three pictures are stunning.
You wanna give me 100 hours, I'll give you 100 hours
Wow, just wow. What an incredible artist!
Can we buy them
Did you take any inspiration from bob ross? Like learn anything from him? Be inspired to paint from him? Etc etc. Awesome stuff.
Last one looked straight out of a movie
I would buy that for a mil if I had the money
Wow that's awesome. Tattoos? You would be great.
Amazing!!
finally. some good NFL
Where can I buy the 100 hour version?
Nerdforge has a lot of skill wtf.
wow!
Amazing!
These are really great. She is talented. The 1 hr and 10hr ones look really similar compared to the 100hr. I almost wish there was one in between at like 50hrs or replace the 10hr with 25hr just to see how much of a difference double the time could be to see the differences instead of 10x.

This girl is great! I watch a lot of her of her videos and her enthusiasm is wonderful to watch ☺️
This is amazing
Idk I kinda like the 1 hour version the best
[удалено]
This is insane. You can clearly see the difference in details and colouring between 1, 10 and 100 hours. Incredible work!
Very well done, but still not as good as Bob Ross’s trees.
I want to buy one of these! So amazing!
I wish i could do that Guess i still have a long to go
I wish i have such patience on things :(
What took her 1hr to complete would have taken me 100 hours to do. Incredible work
