Honest Question: Nay I ask if you have a big drawing tablet you’re using as a monitor, why draw on an iPad instead?

Great video

I love the illustrations, you made them so beautiful!!! 😍

Loved it! I loved the video (the editing is really good!!) but also watching all the sketching process and the final illustration 😍 Last year one of my main art goals was to practice drawing of the things I'm not used to (so it means that I don't feel they are good when I draw them and that I don't like them because of that) and I have been loving it! I feel I still have to get better, but now I enjoy drawing them 🤭 So this exercise of drawing the things that we don't like is a really good one!

So cool, Ellie!!! The final illustration is looks really nice, too! 🎉

beautiful videos 😊❤

My friend I have never actually heard someone say you don't need social media to find work. But it's honestly SO true that building a good portfolio is so different from making content that does well on social media. I absolutely love this message and I really feel validated. I've been going back and forth between trying to "build a social media presence" and actually hating that I felt like that was what I had to do because I so much rather spend my time making art. Which I will go do now. Thanks so much

I stepped away from other social media for a week, only trying to watch videos to help my journey as a illustrator. Finding your video was gold 🤩 Thank you so much for sharing the websites, I’m feeling that I found my tribe now!!!

Please please please do a video of how you illustrate a children’s book from start to finish!! ❤

Do you do freelancing?

Thank you for this videos and for the Notion template!

You're so right when you said everything depends on us as freelancers 🥺💕 looove a good plan, and you know it 😂

Me siento identificada, llevo un año como freelancer y trabajando como ilustradora y diseñadora, aun me siento como una impostora que no merece los proyectos😢 pero este año me propongo comenzar mi canal de youtube y compartir mi proceso porque no estamos solas y no somos las unicas que nos sentimos asi 🥺💖 animos te deseo muchos exitos y te doy mi admiracion por atreverte a hacer este canal y compartir ese valor. Me diste lo que necesitaba para iniciar🙏🏻🙏🏻💫 gracias

Such a relaxing video, Ellie 🥰 also, I feel like making a notebook now, too!

So cute, I like the sloths and the butterflies scene ❤

Thanks for sharing your resources and experience! I've been wanting to make art/design as my job, but have been feeling overwhelmed by all the options and possibilities. I might have also confused myself too by moodboarding my part art; my art focus/interest has changed quiet a bit. 😅 I'll be saving this video and exploring your suggestions.

Wait.. Isn’t your friend a KZbinr as well? 😮

Your cats are so cute and your voice soothing. Thanks for sharing!

What is the display tablet in the video?

Elmira! Hi! Thank you so much for your videos! I feel a bit lost of where to start. I draw my short book story with watercolores and its already few years just traveling with me on paper... Now because of war its not safety to come back to Ukraine and i stay in Spain. Was working as a waitress and a gardener but i felt that i need to come back to art and i just with no job bought ipad and now started to learn procreate and was thinking that i will start to do something amazing so fast ahahaha but i never worked with digital art... so i started to do tutorials and look for what is closer to me to do in digital and saw your video... I am thinking maybe i just can fix a bit my own short storybook and put somewhere to show that it can be like example of what i can draw and learn to draw in my style more pictures .... Do i really need a big screen to start to work or can it be helpful with ipad only in the beginning. or how to manage this thoughts oh my Buddha in write directions? And if i already draw on a paper short book is it possible without photoshop only with procreate? Thank you so my for your reply and thank you so so much for sharing your experience

Hi I found this channel today and it's really awesome,I am shocked with the less number of views because the quality of the videos is really good 👍

I wanted to try a month long challenge in October but I had surgery and was super busy with markets and events.

I would love to see the sketch to final result process! 😊

😍 such a beautiful video ❤

Great video!

I love it Ellie ! All of them are looking so cool, I love the way you're using the markers and colors ! 🥰 (And the fall vibe of the house 😉🍄 )

Your artwork is so cute!! ♥ Would love to see your process with creating a children's book ☺

A new video is dropped,nice! Everything is looking gorgeous in sketchbook, while I am still practicing cubes. Maybe next Year I will do an October challenge, I have so much to prepare next year for my art channel.

Omg the Halloween biscuit 😭❤️ I really like “bud” prompt 😊

Amazing 🎉 Don't give up!

I've been writing stories when I was a kid sadly, my parents are not fond of it.

Yo I just subscribed, because this is interesting topic to tackle. I have so many social medias but YT is my main. I can't do irl advertising because I don't want my family know what I am doing. they are not allow me doing this. I have to do art and share to the internet despite the AI threat. I looking forward how your journey goes without social media!

Well done Elmira! It looks really so cozy 👌🏼🐈🐈🪴

Oh i never knew about Upwork and Twine, thanks for all the recommandations! Really a motivating video ! Keep going~

Thank you so much for the information. Keep going!!!!!!!!!!

I love the practicality of the advice in this video❤

Wow I didn't know about those websites. Amazing!

This is the motivation we needed today’s lunch 😊🎉

what job did you have that involve illustration if i may ask?

Very nice. Thank you. I'd be interested in a video about your first job as a Freelancer, how you got it and how it went? That'd be cool. Best of luck Youtubing ❤

I just discovered your KZbin. Your illustrations are so cute 😍

Elmira, it turned out amazing 😍 I loved the video and to see the process of you working in this project!

Hi Ellie! 👋 Loved the video and enjoyed how you organize and plan your day. Would love to know how you record your videos, plan the shots etc and edit the fi al product. That would be a really interesting video and from seeing the videos you made, it's clear what you're doing works as very calming and relaxing to watch. 🎉 Keep it coming. Love your work. Keep growing and spreading your amazing content.
