What’s up guys, my name is Sam Sam Yang. You guys might know me better as Sam does arts on social media and YouTube. I’m a digital artist based in Toronto, Canada. I love creating stylized illustrations and sharing my process with you guys. Hopefully, along the way, I inspire more people to take up art. Art is a beautiful pursuit. It’s just a never-ending journey of learning and growth.

Since I was a little kid, I’ve always enjoyed flipping through art books. I loved going behind the scenes to read about all the processes used to create my favorite artworks, characters, and worlds. Ever since I started to draw, a part of me has always wanted to do the same – to provide people with a place of escape where they can find inspiration for their own art journeys.

I’m super excited to be working with 3D Total Publishing on “The Art of Sam Yang.” This is going to be my very first art book. It’s going to be a collection of artwork – both published before and kept private. Sketchbooks where you can see snapshots of my own personal artistic journey. My work is always changing as I’m learning and growing. Maybe in a few years’ time, I’m going to look back on this book and think, “What the heck were you thinking putting that in there?” But to me, that is the beauty of art. We’re never really finished, and we’re always learning and growing.

Inside this book, you’re going to learn all about my creative early years as well as how I ended up choosing art as a career. I’ve included multiple galleries that showcase both early sketchbook works as well as recent favorites. You’ll also find a few studies and tutorials on essential topics like lighting and expressions. I’ll also go into detail about being part of the art community, where I find inspiration for the work that I make, and how I stay motivated.

Throughout this campaign, you’re going to have the opportunity to buy extra exclusive gifts. These include high-quality prints, cute enamel keychains of a BB and a pigeon, the cutest Anabis Poke Sketchbook (a place for you to practice your art), and a chance to secure a limited edition version of “The Art of Sam Yang.” It’s going to be very limited with features such as a foil cover showcasing new artwork, sprayed edges, and a premium magnetic box for safekeeping. Bonus stretch goal rewards will become available for all backers, each one unlocked when certain targets are reached during our campaign.

And that’s it! I hope you guys are as excited as I am. Thank you so much for watching this video and for helping me bring “The Art of Sam Yang” out into the world. One more thing – I love you guys.

  6. Well I guess I'll have to try to convince my parents to get this for me and wait for a few months, and figure out how to order it…. Isn't this stressful.

  20. I'm SO DISSAPOINTED that I didn't get to the Kickstarter in time (A DAY LATE). It will be my forever regret that I didn't get the extra rewards in time, I mean 50 EXTRA PAGES!? AND I NEED THAT BOX!! Otherwise, I'm so happy you're making this book.

  24. Hello SamDoesArt! Just asking, but can you make like a coloring book…? i'm getting brush markers and would love to try them in a coloring book with your art in it. Thanks for reading! (oh also is it okay if you make it and i show it on my youtube?)😁❤✏

  29. My first time interacting with your channel besides watching your amazing vids, so I thought I wound support you and buy the book! Thank you so much for giving me the motivation to create art everyday ❤❤❤

  39. My daughter is so inspired by your art. She sent me the link to this and I've pledged on the kickstarter to get the book for her -missed out on the signed copies though 🙁 She has had JIA (juvenile arthritis) since the age of 2 and because of this now she's 11 and finds digital art easier than using pens/paper and has made amazing progress so far inspired by you – thank you!
