Funny, you don't like the watercolor figure drawing sketches and I actually think they're really nice. Especially the second one. The choppiness gives it a really nice quality.

For the scanner, would you need a laptop? Or could you use a tablet or ipad?

why don't you try some type of solvent or like alcohol to remove the ink and clean it versus drenching it in water

Thanks!

i like this video, something chill to work to.. ill say maybe some more asmr-y sounds (like have a mic on your desk) to pick up the cleaning of the brushes etc so it feels more like we're in the same space.

Thanks!

I need to mess around with filming angles, both for traditional work and when working on my tablet, need to figure out how to get 3 cameras filming at the same time great first page!

this was so relaxing to draw with today! I very much needed a small break like this, thank you!

You’ve got an awesome studio. It really suites you and so organised. The peg board is terrific. Thank you for sharing your space.

This is so relaxing, I love it ☺☺

my god the second one and their story has stolen my heart, i would kill for a book or movie about this omg

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I feel like people that don't watch lofi channels or co-work/parellel play stuff won't get it but I LOVE it. I'd I find it soothing having someone working while I'm working lol Happy Pride!!

Hey besties! This was just an easy video i could make while on vacation so my channel wouldn’t be inactive for too long! Not a change from me or anything, just something super easy and simple I could make while still taking a break!

Even if the opinions of this video are mixed I like that you tried a new layout(?) or way of filming

Didn't really enjoy that video. Like your other videos better.

What’s the point of the video? I only saw ur back the whole time?

love it when I see a new video from you!! studio looks great!

Your videos are so relaxing you're not one of my comfort places for nothing

Isn't a concern that they might not necessarily be as archival as regular oil, like there hasn't been enough time to test that, and often adding ingredients to oil can mess that up?

Your art is breathtaking to look at with so many unique details!!!✨😭

The definition of blood and sweat lol !

Hello I just wanna say I LOVE your style so much and I was wondering if you could maybe make a tutorial or give some tips of poses or how you draw body’s? Because I’ve been struggling with that a lot and I really like your way so if you feel like you would maybe want to do that I would be so grateful and if not totally fine ❤

I didn’t mind the angle at all! I will watch whatever you post, the content of the videos is what matters to me 😊

My favorite is the tiger walking in the water! And I just started a strathmore series 400 sketch book. I spent all day drawing a pony inside a stall..

is there any way you could make a like body or pose tutorial? because I cannot draw bodies for the life of me and your way of drawing them is so good it would mean a lot to me if you could but if you can't no problem

Thank you for the helpful tips! Do you have any other free editing software recommendations instead of Photoshop?

Very informative! What format do you save out of the scanner? I noticed jpg is way smaller than tiff at the same dpi. Thanks!

❤❤❤

The “do evil daily” cat is awesome 🤘

This was so helpful! Thank you!

I love landscapes and have made it a personal challenge over the years to do the same thing-- simplify them! It's definitely hard. I do mostly trad art now but had a digital phase and my strategy is to take the theory of cel shading from digital art and animation and apply it to my traditional pieces... like mentally pick a color for shading then mentally calculate what color that would make irl as if it was on a multiply layer or whatever.

i definately do film top down vids but thats just because i got a tripod for it for cheap lmao and i dont have aloy of space, but i prefer how you used to film i think everyone has their own unique filming style

IM SO EXCITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DTIYS!!!!!

I took over a month off youtube while focusing on my senior thesis proj and I'm so glad I have a lil stash of videos to catch up on! Btw, I really appreciate your honest and straightforward approach to these questions. Sometimes Q&As can be a bit pretentious. Loved the video as always 🫶

I think for me, my messy sketchbook is to get me started where i dont have nerves holding me back. It seems like you dont have that problem. Lol So it makes sense for you to have a sketchbook that looks nice at the end!

yeah i think is too big but is beauty, the last i dont think so

She called me out 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅 I like top down view because your work isnt distorted by the side angle view (and Im not watching it like "the bent neck lady"!). I thought the mix you did worked well, but its (obviously) your channel, your videos and ENTIRELY your decision 👍🏻

hope you enjoy your time off :D also no lie girl you warned us pre-vid about the camera angles and I quite literally forgot while watching; like I didn't notice at all I think top down views are good for things like tours, tutorials and in this case your dtiys -like it makes sense to show ppl this angle so they can see what ur drawing better, but I say just do what you prefer/makes you feel better bc its not even something that crossed my mind as a viewer lol

Honestly, by the time you got to the drawing I had already forgotten you said the camera angle was going to be different until like the very end of the video lol. I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything, which is how I think a lot of people are, so do whatever you like better! Top down the whole time is easier to see the art, but I think it's kinda boring, so the mix of both you had going here is a good compromise, if you decided you wanted to dabble in the top down angle a bit. But for real, either way is good

Can you just show us the stack of all of your sketchbooks

Don’t consider it work. Sketch book should be for fun this isn’t a job. Don’t make it a job.

I prefer the old way you film - it feels more intimate/cozy/friendly, and I don't think the top-down suits your style of video. Also love this character, what a great way to start off the sketchbook!

I literally have a sticker on my water bottle that says ‘emotional support water bottle’. It goes everywhere with me and i feel naked without it these days, lol. Cirkul makes bank on me every month, but i hate the taste of my tap water so whattarya gonna do?

I would like to request if you can show a little bit of the sketching process it doesn't have to be long but just a little so we can see everything. sometimes drawing is the most fun part of the whole draw in your style thing

I dunno , i like both i guess…..maybe do a combo or something?

It's such a lovely idea to start a sketchbook with a bit of a theme, I still remember when you started with the purple skull DTIYS, which I took part in and it was my first ever DTIYS, you always make the coolest characters 🥰

Awesome 😎 as always really appreciate your videos that you share with us all!
