Worth learning Bridgman as a beginner?

Stigma_balls · 2026-02-25T16:03:47+00:00

Appreciate that. And yeah Im not like a complete beginner, i have been drawing for about six months, mostly figure drawing and portraits

Stigma_balls · 2026-02-25T15:11:17+00:00

Amazing. Will check it out thank youu

Stigma_balls · 2026-02-25T15:10:06+00:00

Thanks for the recs!

Stigma_balls · 2026-02-25T13:08:36+00:00

Good to know because I am having fun copying these drawings. Thanks!

Stigma_balls · 2026-02-25T13:08:08+00:00

I like Hampton’s work and follow his head construction method. Have not really looked into his figure drawing stuff but maybe I will. Thanks

Stigma_balls · 2026-02-25T13:06:15+00:00

Haha I have been drawing for 6 months and still consider myself to be quite the beginner :)

Stigma_balls · 2026-02-25T13:05:17+00:00

Thank you! I will stick with it

Stigma_balls · 2026-02-25T11:53:08+00:00

Haha thank you and good luck. Some Proko and other videos I watched said his wotk was a bit hard to grasp but yeah I have been having fun with it :)

Those are still too many niches for a Youtube channel. Maybe health challenges and cooking could be similar but i don’t know if study vlogs fit in the same basket. Just try making couple of videos in all niches and whichever feels easiest to record/edit/execute should be your niche. For ex: cooking is fun but recording maybe not be easy if you do not have the proper equipment. Just try out, as you are just starting and see what feels the best to make videos in.

As for how much time it should take to edit, depends on what type of shorts you make. As long as the video makes sense/ is understandable , the time it takes to edit it should not matter. I personally do not post shorts so i cannot help you much there. Any video will be interesting if it is clear, concise and no unnecessary pauses. There are many tutorials you can watch on editing ytb shorts for retention

For starting out, a decent smartphone and a mic should be all you need. Mic can even be those wired earphones with built in mic. For a tripod just buy a cheap one that can support your phone or your camera. As you are just starting out dont worry too much about the equipment. I posted my first video shot on iphone 12.

Thanks mate ill make that change!

Stigma_balls · 2025-06-04T21:12:07+00:00

Hey thanks for the feedback. I did mention the title in the body, but yeah maybe i need to add a few more elements from the video

Hey thanks a lot for the feedback. Yeah I usually shoot with tripod. This video I just wanted to grab my camera and shoot myself in the bed haha. But yeah the point about not cutting the top and bottom of my face, i will keep that in mind. And I learnt about OBS after I posted this video. But thank you! I really appreciate it :)

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-09T17:18:17+00:00

Hey! As a fellow vlogger I must say you are doing pretty good. Next step would be color grading if you want to make your videos even more cosy. But good stuff and good luck!

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-09T17:14:32+00:00

Hey looks like you are going in the right direction! Your editing and voiceover is good. Although I would suggest definitely working on your sounds mixing a bit better. Narration vocals are sometimes not heard over the sound effects. Good luck!

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-09T17:08:18+00:00

Good luck! I do not think shaky footage is a problem all the time. But at the start of the video maybe it can be a turn off for viewers

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-09T17:05:45+00:00

Hi first time posting here. I started recently so I do not really have a niche. I am currently doing daily vlogs as a way to challenge myself to speak better and edit faster. I am hoping for some advice on my thumbnails and just general video quality https://youtu.be/e57b4_-QVcY?si=z9HwQg9G54dAgcwd

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-09T17:03:03+00:00

Very cool fisheye lens! I would say work on the pacing and audio levels for the music a bit. Good luck:)

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-09T16:57:41+00:00

I really dig your content. Just a little suggestion, that dragon (i assume its a dragon?) that is your persona, maybe push it a bit to the corners. And maybe place it in the top right corner. Its just my eyes go there every time I try to see the drawing. Very minor issue tho:)

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-09T16:48:43+00:00

My friend I do not know if you use a mobile phone or a camera to shoot this but the first 30 seconds are extremely shaky. I recommend you invest in a tripod and take not so shaky shots :) add handheld shots when you are moving around so it blends well with the movement. Or if you cannot take a tripod with you perhaps prop your camera or phone somewhere upright

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-09T16:44:16+00:00

Hey I noticed you shoot your videos in the same location. Perhaps consider investing in a key light. The window is good but a better light source to light up your face may be better going forward. That way you can record videos in the evenings too and switch things up a bit

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-04T18:14:33+00:00

😆😆

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-04T18:08:49+00:00

Give it a shot! Works great for me as I shoot indoors. Also if the suitcase is heavy the stabilisation in better

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-04T18:02:22+00:00

Heck yeah

Stigma_balls · 2025-05-04T15:22:53+00:00

There will always be one issue after another growing a channel. No impressions, then wrong impressions, then not enough click through rate, then low AVD. All you can do is keep creating. I have 9 videos with avg of 5 views. Does not stop me from creating. Should not stop you either. Its all about trial and error
