Japanese Sushi Rice Recipe:

3 cups uncooked Japanese rice

1/2 cup rice wine vinegar (this type of vinegar is essential)

3 tbsp white sugar

1 1/2 tsp sea salt

Preparing the rice

1. Wash the Japanese rice 2-3 times with water.

2. Cook in a rice cooker. 1 cup rice = 1 cup water

3. While the rice is cooking, pour rice vinegar, sugar and salt into a large wooden or ceramic bowl. Mix well.

4. Once rice is cooked, add into the vinegar mixture and mix well. The hot rice will easily absorb the mixture.

5. Cover the rice with a damp towel. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Cover with a towel or cling wrap then refrigerate. Wrap Japanese sushi rice in nori sheets, fil with the “Katsu” which are breaded hot and spicy vegan fillets, carrot ribbons, and some lettuce. Finish off with lots of sesame seeds and homemade teriyaki sauce!

10 inspiring and helpful YouTube channels for digital artists

People are asking us how the art we share can be so good.

The answer this time isn’t so simple. An artist has his own way on shaping his style, he takes his time to experiment and so it becomes quite difficult for others to try learning his art style and making it their own. It’s even wrong.

But we can tell you that many artists learn by getting inspired by others’ art. Watching an artist while he paints can be motivating - and of course it can teach you a few technical tricks.

So, here there are ten YouTube channels you should check out.

1. FZD School of design

It’s a school founded by Feng Zhu, amazing concept artist with a lot of experience in video games, films and commercials. His videos are real episodes/lessons and they are very helpful. And, well, they even have a school in Singapore…

2. China digital painting

This channel doesn’t feature tutorials but shares full video processes by Chinese artist. In this period we are seeing many young artists inspired by an art style that’s typically Chinese - it features dramatic lighting and mood. Though such a technique can be found in other artists like Bouguereau and  Rembrandt.

3. Ctrl + Paint

A channel dedicated to the digital painting in Photoshop. Very helpful for those beginners who want to learn how to use this software and how to get better with art in general.

4. Level Up!

One of the most known groups of digital art of Facebook can be found on YouTube as well. The founders are Wojtek Fus and Darek Zabrocki. Each session (episode) features a different digital artist. This is great because you can compare the different painting processes. The main theme of this channel is concept art and fantasy/sci-fi illustrations.

5. JJ canvas

This is the channel of Jorge Jacinto. He uploads speedpaintings, but they are very inspiring if you want to look at how a wonderful surreal landscape can be created in twenty minutes - in time-lapse of course.

6. Webang111

Another channel with time-lapse videos. Very inspiring if you are into colorful and cartoony illustrations.

7. Ross Draws

His art is wonderful and his videos are super funny! Check out his channel if you want to see how a fantasy illustration can be created from a simple idea - I mean, he starts with two rough lines to close the video with a breathtaking illustration. Crazy.

8. The Portrait Art

Okay, we know. This channel is not about digital art. But it’s amazing art anyway and if you are into realistic portraits, you can get inspired by watching these videos.

9. Cubebrush

Another channel with time-lapse videos, but a few are commented. The videos are about 2D and 3D paintings.

10. Noah Bradley

This artist is a master in the concept field and he doesn’t only talk about his digital method but about his career as well, giving lots of hints on how to become a better artist and how to enter in the art industry.

We hope this post helps you. Good luck!

Creamy Vegan Cheesecake

Vegan frozen yogurt bars🥥🌱!

They're super delicious, easy to make, and guilt-free💕

Ingredients:

☆ 7 oz. Graham crackers (make sure they are vegan! I used Nabisco!)

☆ 1/2 heaping cup oats

☆ 1/2 cup melted coconut oil

☆ 1 1/2 cups non-dairy yogurt (I used coconut milk yogurt, I suggest that for this recipe if possible!)

☆ Raspberries, blueberries, and lavender flowers to taste. (You can use whatever smaller fruits you'd like and any edible flowers! You may also omit flowers.)

☆ 1 tbsp agave syrup

Instructions:

1) Crush the Graham crackers and oats in a ziploc bag together until a fine flour-like powder (you can use a rolling pin, make sure you bag is tightly sealed!). Once crushed combine the flour mixture with your melted coconut oil in a medium bowl and mix until well saturated. Then pack this tightly and evenly in a shallow baking pan lined with parchment paper or oiled with vegetable oil. Put it in the freezer to solidify as you work on the next step(at least 5 mins).

2) Combine the yogurt and agave syrup together in a bowl. Set aside and wash your fruit and drain so they are still damp but not drenched.

3) Take the base out of the freezer and pour your yogurt mix onto the base evenly and gently spread with a baking spatula. Once evenly distributed, place your fruits on top of the yogurt gently and to your desire. Then sprinkle the lavender or other edible flower for added taste and beauty!

4) Place in the freezer for about 3 hours.

5) Once frozen, you can cut them into bars and I suggest letting them sit for 3-5 minutes out of the freezer to soften a bit before consumption. Enjoy!
