I'd love to draw, but my time is all used up.

Pride and confidence are two different things pride is actually bad.

i have often wondered why you dont have a shop? 👀

I think if you used ipad + apple pencil and record the video same way as your traditional work it would have similar amount of engagement Imo I prefer seeing someone move the pencil to draw instead of screen recordings + Ipad screen is great for recording quality is amazing

WOW you are amazing, thank you for this video that I just found LOL I subscribed to your channel and really want to get into this daily drawing/sketching and this video kind of inspierd me to go ahead and start. 😘🤩

Every time one of your videos appears on my page I think "damn! I have to draw" hahaha Happy Christmas 🎄

"I hate speaking" 😂 that hit me hard

wow your art is beautiful! how did you learn to draw figures so well? do you have resources you’d recommend?

aww I remember so many of the previous ones! it was the best surprise seeing this one pop up on insta 🥰

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I’m guessing pencil and paper sketching skill transfer well?

Hullo Sara, I am continually amazed at your videos quality and your progressive improvement! I hope your doing well and are happy. I know we see only a small portion of your life online and wish you much happiness. Thank you for sharing as much as your able and I hope you continue to grow during your Art journey.

✨Merry Christmas and happy coming new year ✨

Happy Holidays! 🎄🎉🎊🎄

Super cute, merry Christmas!😊🎄⛄️

I’m so glad these videos are back.They help me alot as an artist ❤

I used to think it pointless to buy an iPad when I have a laptop with my good 6 year old Wacom Intuos... However, the Back to school offers got me a tiny discount on my iPad Air 11" (M2) + *free* Apple Pencil Pro. I haven't touched my Intuos ever since. The portability was a game changer for me, I could easily take it to uni, use it to illustrate, make stickers, animate, even other things like my uni notes, or as a Kindle with Apple Books. It was such a Hassle to take mi laptop + Intuos to school. So I'd say, if portability is a must for you, I totally recommend it, I'm super in love with it!!

Oh my god... I was honestly so glad and like "my depression is OVER. I AM SO GOOD NOW." and then you said.... I am happy, jus clinically depressed and don't have energy. And for like the longest of time I am happy, everything is fine... I just don't have energy and I seem to need so much sleep. And I was so sure it's just some vitamins in my blood that I lack... but my blood is fine. And now that I think about it... I enjoy so many things but I am not doing anything for awhile... looks like my depression is not exactly gone... damn.

12:31 it actually does, krita works with mac os, but not ios. . I actually got mindblown back when i saw you doing a krita tutorial and followed you ever since ..you literally expanded my horizons ,thank you😆💖

<3

So inspiring! I can't wait to start mine!

I’m getting these for x-mas❤

I am way undercharging. Thank you for helping me realize this. I spend sometimes 3 hours on one pair of earrings and sell them for 10 dollars. ❤

Yay! Im so glad you brought the videos back: I was especially excited to see the Butterfly Dream video again! I believe that one was how I found your channel. I think I’ve been following you since I was around 16-ish, and your channel has brought so much comfort. Thank you for being vulnerable with us, and sharing a bit of your story. It’s funny because I used your channel as a way of escape; i would binge watch your videos or turn them on while I was drawing. It was a way for me to escape my own childhood trauma and toxic home life. So thank you for making KZbin videos! You’ve helped me so much on my art journey 🩵

I love all of your stuff, I'm so happy that this stuff is all back. And thank you for sharing your vulnerability, your journey. You are an inspiration. I am also someone who is very quiet and I hope that some day I can be more comfortable in my own skin and able to talk to people.

I wish this vid had more views (but also nah because Im sure that doesnt help with your fear of being perceived 😅)! But I love when people are vulnerable and share more about their lives, to the extent that they’re comfortable sharing. I got diagnosed with ADHD this year at basically 40 and god, what I could share about feeling like an absolute failure about my art career for the past 20 years. Literally watching entire social media platforms rise and fall, all while I’m *struggling* to do the things that those platforms require you to do in order to be successful on them. While I cant exactly relate to the OCD part of your journey, I get feeling bad about something you didn’t know you had and were struggling with all on your own 😢 Thanks for sharing and I hope you are able to find a good therapist that gets you!

My plants are always falling over too XD

Great video! I think it is also very helpful to just be able to mess up in a sketchbook and look at it over and over again and also mess up repeatedly until the perfectionism just dissappears. It is painful but worked for me! 😀

omg i’ve been watching your videos for so long and it’s so cool to find out that you’re a baldurs gate girlie too! lmaoo more importantly than that, thank you for sharing your art and knowledge with us for so long. ♡ your art is such a huge inspiration to me - particularly the way you draw hair. i thought it was interesting you mentioned it as something that has stuck around throughout your changes in art style bc it’s always been something i’ve loved in your art. hope you’re doing well and look forward to reading your book! :3

Omg. I was looking for the Amarante video for the longest my favorite video!

Sara you were one of the first artists I followed on Instagram and DeviantArt ,without knowing English with a google translator tab I used to check your videos (I didn't have a tablet,I pretended I had one with my notebook) a couple of months ago I was finally able to buy one with my first paycheck and I remembered you, but I couldn't find your old videos ,I figured there was a reason so I didn't mention anything but I missed them, thanks for activating them again my 7 year back self thanks you very much

I'm a perfectionist, so I love the tip on drawing on copy paper instead of my sketchbook. Thank you!!

You are very talented ❤

FINALLY IT'S BACK, This is one of my fav works of yours

If you like Baldur's Gate and Pathfinder, try Divinity Original Sin 2.

You introduced me to Krita nd I've never looked back! Its my comfort drawing program, and personally, it works so much smoother than other like photoshop or Clip. I do feel like my colors are never bright enough in krita tough. Clip is amazing for vibrant color. Im glad to hear from you again, an that you are happy where you are, despite the hurdles in the past. Edit: Sara Tepes Twitch channel when?

I would love a watercolor/traditional book in your style! I hope it can be a thing in the future.

1.Drawing daily helps you acknowledge yourself better as an artists, because u're creating something. 2.When you're drawing, you are investing in yourself. 3.Draw consistently if you cannot do it every day, at least 3-5 days in a week. 4. Start with small sketches / You don't have to draw for hours every day, just 10-30 minutes is enough to improve over time. 5. Draw on copy paper to not mess up your sketchbook, especially if you're a perfectionist. 6.Practice doesn't have to be aesthetic. 7.Do whatever is going to give you the least resistence to drawing consistently (e.g. draw what you like, what you see, doesn't have to be big, difficult, draw at any place you're comfortable). 8.Set aside time for drawing, you'll have to sacrifice some time for other things in order to draw (You can also combine it with watching shows, listening to podcasts, audiobooks, hanging out with friends). 9.Make art a relaxing hobby/habit of yours. 10.Atomic habit principle: 1% of improvement a day shows a lot of and faster results in a year, than 1% a week. So it's better to practice daily or as much as you can.

I follow you since you began using Krita and MyPaint, since I used (and still use) opensource apps. 9 years, maybe? Sometimes I come here to watch your old timelapses that helped and inspired me so much. Thanks for letting us watch it again.
