Nice to see you happy.

Nice to see you here on KZbin Isabelle 😊 loved the vlog! The bird is so cool 🤩 P.S.- can I ask what mic are you using? I'm looking of one for me.

No way to miss your videos 🎉

I really loved the animation you did. I smiled watching it and was much needed for my mood today. Well done and it’s good see you moving past your challenges from last week!

Great vlog, looking forward to hearing about your other series, you already know how much I like the bird 😂 How long does it take you to finish a piece on average? I always feel like I'm not spending enough time on a drawing - when I am actually drawing!

Love that skateboarding bird! It would be a really fun sticker. I love the animation too 😃

I recently decided to keep a visual journal...it was a good idea.

Lovely vlog, Isabelle ❤ the bird on the skateboard is very funny! The roses are a great idea!

Lovely vlog dear! 🤍🤍🥰

So nice to see this video, Isabelle! I agree with you that you seem to be in a period of artistic growth and that can be uncomfortable- and you are dealing with it in a very healthy way by doing something you enjoy, something fun for you (and us!) I love the skateboarding bird! So cute! I think that would make an excellent sticker! And congrats on a sponsorship! And with something right up your alley - that’s a great pairing. Enjoy those last beautiful Milwaukee days! Looking forward to your new projects too - curious to hear more about your dead birds series! Great video!!

I think your videos are great. I'm not an artist. But watching you make drawings is amazing. I like when you film outside , too. BTW thanks for the lesson about the different graphite pencils. I went out and got some. If you want to try another art direction go for it. And you should definitely make personal time and keep a private sketch book. Maybe by putting everything out there you're losing yourself. Don't worry what other people think. Just do you and keep the faith.

Like many who have already commented, I’ll watch your videos regardless of the art content - but I’ve always enjoyed your art as well. I think it’s your personality that keeps people returning week after week. I think self- doubt is a healthy result of being thoughtful and determined. A person who lives with no doubts is probably not paying a lot of attention, haha! But when it debilitates us, yeah… it’s good to look past that and look for that path forward. So true about comparing ourselves to others… (we all do it!) there is a bit of “the grass is greener over there” that will probably always make us reflect… but then, do we ever know the whole story? Probably not. (Shrug) Anyway, always happy to see how your art journey unfolds! We’ll be here with you!

Great video, Isabelle. I resonated with your thoughts ❤ my channel is not only growing very slowly but it's lost 5 subscribers the past weekend 😅 I love making videos, and I thought that would be a good way of "starting a conversation" with people from around the world, sharing thoughts about our work and journeys... I always try to see the positive side of things, but sometimes I feel very discouraged.

You are so unique and authentic. I thoroughly enjoy your weekly videos. But, if you need a reset, then take a break and work on that private sketchbook. I’ll wait patiently for that next video.❤

Hi from a fellow Mikwaukee resident! I understand what you mean about the shorter days. My art journey is just beginning. Wondering what store you go to for your art supplies. The locally owned art stores that I went to have all closed :(

Thanks for sharing all these experiences :)

You doing fine, do not overthinking. 🤍🤍😘

Resonated with everything you said. Be kind to yourself and even though you share with us here at the end of the day you need to do what gives you joy. Your art is beautiful, but I also appreciate your journey, honesty, atmosphere etc not only the final art product ❤

I've encountered a new hurdle on my journey: self-doubt! Well, not a new hurdle exactly, but my doubts made themselves heard loud and clear. So in this week's video I explain the reasons for these doubts and give you some tips on overcoming self-doubt as an artist. Let me know in the comments if you can relate. Thank you so much for watching, liking, sharing... and subscribing! I appreciate your support! 😊🧡

For what it's worth, I don't watch your videos because of the style of art you make but because of the love you have for what you make. So, I'll still watch no matter the direction your art takes 💜🖤

We are all ready to win...just as we are born knowing only life...

Isabelle, thank you for your heartfelt video! I hear you about your struggles and … I think that’s a thing artists come up against. The thought of “making art for who” - yeah. It’s a thing I personally think about a lot. It was interesting to hear about your visual language - I like that term. Symbolism. Lots to think about here and you have such a pleasant approach to things - it’s always a great experience getting to watch your videos. Thank you!!

Lovely video 💜 I would definitely be interested in a discussion about visual language 😊

It's been such a joy coming across your channel. Your videos are so calm, relatable and refreshing. Thanks to you I finally picked up the courage to truly start my art journey and even posted my first KZbin video!

The transition into Autumn hasn’t been smooth for me, dealing with some sort of creative block perhaps! However, I am back with a new vlog and new drawings which I hope you’ll like! Thank you so much for watching, commenting, liking, sharing and subscribing. I appreciate your support 😊 🧡✨

Beautiful video and drawings! 🤍🤍🥰

Hi! Looking forward to watching this 😊

Your video is so hard to watch...the way you explain it is not smooth which makes it hard to understand what you're saying

Beautiful shell drawings! So delicate.

Nothing like a good cup of coffee in the morning

Congratulations on your shop ❤❤❤ really cute stickers 😊

So much progress! xoxo

How pretty!

WOOW!! this is so cool great job!!!

Watching your videos is always a joy! You've put in so much work on your shop and I can truly say, I love everything, haha! So many great items for decoration and gifts and such... you have such an excellent eye for detail! Oh man, can I relate to needing the time in the park... that is always a good idea. It's an important part of creativity, I think... recharging. I'm loving your new shell drawings! It really suits your current style, I think. Lots of areas for detail and shadows and ... yeah! Such interesting shapes. Thank you for the soothing video, Isabelle!

Lovely video, as usual 🤍

Amazing! 🤍

Come along for another week into my journey as I finish preparing my shop update, draw some shells, and spend some time in Nature. Thank you so much for watching! 🧡

Isabelle, the shells are beautiful! I wish you much success with your shop! 🤍🤍

I hope the shop launch is going well 💜

I love how you broke down the basics of graphite drawing so clearly. Your tips on pencils and shading are golden. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

This is really helpful! I learned a few things here - I am not nearly as patient as you are with pencil drawings (and it shows! Haha!) I think your little circles method is really nice and gives your shading a really velvety look. It’s also a thing I knowwww but don’t often implement… the different grades of lead - I’ve done it the right way before, but, again, I’m impatient, so I will typically use just 1 or 2 different grades - but it does make a huge difference in the result, and well worth the extra effort. Wonderful and informative video, Isabelle! I’ll need to put these tips into practice!

A few videos ago I mentioned I would do a tutorial on graphite and today's the day! If you're interested in working with graphite I hope these tips will be helpful. Let me know in the comments if you'd like to see more tutorials. Thank you so much for watching! 💛

Wonderful I think I vill draw with you, cos I didnt draw for monts!🤍🤍

Lots of great info/tips 🖤

Nice Vlog...

Great Video! I am always happy to find new creatives, and I found you because I was searching for positive mindset 😊🎉❤

This week's vlog is a little sneak peek of a shop update coming up in mid-September. I would love to hear your feedback in the comments. And please stay tuned (subscribe 😉 ) for more updates! If you liked this video, please hit the like button, and share it with a friend. Thank you! 💜

I think your items look soooo nice! I love the clear backing idea! That looks fantastic! And I’d love a detailed video on shop specifics - I don’t know if that’s of general interest or not, but iiiii am curious! I’m sure I’ll be putting in an order with your shop when it’s up and running. Thank you for this cozy vlog! 😊

I don't normally order outwith the UK because shipping can be so expensive but I may have to make an exception if you're shipping internationally ☺️
