You should only do these if you yourself like how the sketchbook looks! Doing this ONLY for external validation will just feed that want inside of you and make you more needy and sensitive to rejection in the long run.
If that is the case, the video is summed up like:
"Here are 5 tips to achieve X outcome. You might be saying: "isn't X outcome empty and superficial?" Yes it is, but I'm a flawed individual and I chase these empty and superficial goals."
And? You don't have to be enlightened to walk away from the instant validation. Don't we, just like we strive to be better artists, also strive to be better individuals?
Three years ago you said "Drawing for likes is a very real problem and trust me, I'm guilty of it too." ("Honesty in Art", Oct 4, 2020)
Now here you are making videos on how to "GET MORE LIKES".
If anyone wants to tell me how I'm wrong about this in the replies I'm down to discuss it.

I reserve the right to tell people that I don't need their validation. Then again, my self-confidence is bigger than my actual skill.

As an artist who was drawing exclusively digital for 5 years, and now have been drawing traditionally exclusively I can honestly say.
I can feel the physical expression and excitement from real life reaction on my sketchbook than my iPad.
It’s just gonna need. You to appreciate your drawings and fill it in a pleasing matter and then you will be seeing more attraction

I love the way you articulated that bit at the end, its true that art to a degree should be this lethargic almost ritualistic act done between the artist and their soul—but making art can also be equal parts fun as it is spiritual and in the end we all need some reassurance to a degree. We all just wanna feel understood

[EthanFray]

“The truth” part of the video is EXACTLY the conversation I had with myself when I decided to start posting my art. I kept wondering if making art and posting it was inauthentic, but at the end of the day I make art for myself and enjoy it!! The likes are more so like the extra piece of chicken you find at the bottom of a chipotle bowl, although I enjoyed the whole bowl that last piece and bite is what I felt like I needed but never really wanted or intended. OVERALL love your videos. You are my favorite YouTuber and validate my internal artistic convos every post.

I’ve been watching your videos for several years now and whenever I see a new video I always want to drop what I’m doing and go do art. Thanks for inspiring me!

Your tech designs are so pleasing to look at.

[breamakesart]

Thanks for saying that it is okay to make things for external validation. We all want to be loved and appreciated for what we can do. It is human nature, but it is awesome to hear this being repeated and put out into the world, that it isn't wrong to want those things.

[kauru]

Love how honest you are. And the sunflowers. I really liked those, too. :)

[ChantelleArts]

having spots of colour and framing are actually great tips! I'm gonna give it a go ❤

[MatthewYuArt]

Great video!! Last section is so real for artist/content creators that have to tackle the line between "true" self expression and crowd pleasing.

[wenomachosia]

Chroma Moma's videos are like going to mcdonalds as a kid . Large Gaps in between, but worth the wait

[pilar]

I really like the last part so much! glad i watch it to the end of the video

[tedwintheslyfox]

This video just feels way to specific and personal. I love it !!

[oharasvna]

The ending was so meta, lmao. "i am being myself, because not being myself is myself". i LOVE IT..

[melissaonart]

Wake up babe new Chroma Moma video just dropped

[tiredyuuswvi]

this is just what i need for inktober thank you very much

[michaelholper]

fantastic video, both thoughtful and interesting, and I loved the pinned conversation at the top of the comments thread. So many things to contemplate with making art! And your style in the sketchbook is pretty unique, but with a touch of things that I think many people find appealing, so it seems like you're being authentic to the goals you set for yourself artistically.

[salrachel]

Ugh I loved the wide angle shots!! So weird and entertaining at the same time :)

[huzaifaahmed]
