My Goals: Don't die. BONUS: Make art.

[@anifreak112]

😂😂😂😂+1

[@Kwarateen]

I bought jelly gouache bc of you and I’m just starting to figure it out!!! Your art is just such goals ugh sending lots of love 💕

[@imawonder]

Yay! Thank you!

[@lugustprime6864]

i love to see constructive artists feedback. this made me smile 🥰

[@yanathakkar6832]

what brand of jelly gouache? i would recommend jumó not really what she uses but that is just be based on my opinion and reasearch

[@TheKaiAkuma]

As a viewer I just wanted to say, whatever type of content you try or feel motivated to make~ studio vlogs and all~ you have my viewership and support! Its so awesome to see someone bravely try new things and My wish for you this new year is to have alot of fun while doing all of your goals 💓

[@imawonder]

You're going to make my heart explode!! Thank you I seriously appreciate that so much!! T^T Sending all those good vibes your way too!

[@_squarecube]

ive never really liked gouache but the smooth matte look always makes me happy

[@imawonder]

Ooh yes it's so satisfying! But I totally understand, I love the look of oil paintings but I have no interest in using them myself haha

[@2at21]

I'm the same! The difference is I don't like acrylic but I love other people's acrylic painting I just hate the texture when I'm painting acrylic

[@ChrisHongArt]

These studies look great! I feel you on the double-edged sword thing; I've accepted long ago that for me, KZbin/content creation has to come 2nd to the actual art-making. Congrats on all of your successes in 2020, really looking forward to those vloggggs *__* (no pressure hehe)

[@imawonder]

AH thank you so much Chris!! I think that's definitely the right mid-set to be in and ultimately will lead to more rewarding artwork! Hehe seeing people's excitement about the vlogs is helping my nerves!!

[@barbieblinging4851]

i love watching people paint with gouache ahhhhh

[@imawonder]

me too honestly haha! so satisfying!

[@mooshroom5120]

I like the way you think, art supplies can get overwhelming when there's so much that just sit there unused, I also mad respect that you wanna make videos you wanna make instead of why others rlly rlly rlly want. art is supposed to flow not force

[@imawonder]

Ahh thank you so much I'm so glad! I totally agree!

[@kirstyh1189]

I’m a beginner when it comes to art but my goal this year is to really improve. I started a sketchbook and I paint daily...

[@jayyden]

did ya do it

[@iilbeahoo9407]

Honestly your chatty style videos are much more entertaining than tutorials. I understand tutorials suit some people but I just love hearing you talk about all kinds of topics while watching your amazing painting! Xx

[@imawonder]

Ahh I'm so glad to hear that! The casual chatty videos are definitely the most fun to make - thank you so much!!

[@beckygriffiths817]

You can tell when an art style is so unique because iv never seen klaus only seen a 1 minute advert for it. Yet I immediately knew what these still backgrounds were from 😍👌

[@VisualMind]

I'd love to see the process of decluttering/cleaning and setting up the new studio space!! 😁

[@beaquills]

Your first video on the jelly gouache was what inspired me to take the plunge and try it out! I’ve only done one painting with it though ... it turned out well but I think I got scared that I wouldn’t be able to uphold that standard in my next piece. So I think this year my art goal is to just TAKE THE PLUNGE. JUST DO IT. DO IT.

[@imawonder]

YES! That's the right attitude! Plus there's so much paint in that set so no need to feel precious about it! You got this!

[@zebrasbean2385]

Klaus was heavily inspired by the art of eyevind Earle of was the artist for sleeping beauty

[@AngelaPanArt]

Klaus is one of the most beautifully animated 2d movies in the past decade! I remember watching it when it came out and just pausing almost every frame to cry at how beautiful everything is. Your interpretation of the shots are really pretty. Makes me want to revisit that movie soon. I can relate to a lot of the things you mentioned in this video, the struggle of being a content creator and finding time to create work that really lives up to our own standards is hard. I think you are doing so great and It's really inspiring for me to hear your perspective. I was surprised you mentioned my channel here again haha I had no idea, but now it makes sense why there has been a lot more subscribers in the past few days. I think it's really kind of you to mention and promote other channel and artists, thanks for being a great artist and human :D

[@imawonder]

I absolutely agree! If you're looking for more films to recreate I bet you'd do some really beautiful versions of this film with paint markers! Aw thank you so much, I'm so glad that you could relate to the topics I discussed! Oh of course no problem at all, I'm happy to help bring more attention to your lovely channel! Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement

[@Finelinernerd]

Hey Tina, thank you so much for the shout out, as I was watching I went 😱 haha! I love these paintings, they’re so full of life and the way you mix colours and build the layers is amazing 🖤🖤 I have the same goal as you to study more and push my style/skills, and I’m really looking forward to seeing where you take your art this year 🖤🖤

[@imawonder]

Of course!! So excited for your channel! Thanks so much James!

[@cavilll2554]

Thaaaaaaannnnkkkkk you for showing the tray and colors. That’s the one thing that I wish more artists would do in their videos

[@Zahrah.M]

So interesting to see how you handle backgrounds in your style and blocking out the colours! My intentions for 2021 is to practice drawing from reference at least once a week... with life getting in the way sometimes I'm trying to be flexible but I really want to put in the time instead of wasting it on social media/tv!

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much! That is a fantastic goal - and I think it's great you're being flexible which will really help at being kind and realistic for yourself!

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Wow! Thank you so much for the mention!!!!

[@nina1528]

Such dreamy paintings. I love the layering of the different colours.

[@alexandrah.5915]

My goals for this year are to start posting more regularly on instagram, start a youtube channel, and get good grades during the year and at the final exams so I can continue learning at my school (to explain, theres a lot of competition at my school and you need to get really good grades if you want to remain learning there)

[@imawonder]

Best of luck!!

[@alexandrah.5915]

@@imawonder Thank you💕

[@Heyits__JC]

I was doing some research while the KZbin algorithm suggested this video, I literally put down my work and watched this amazing painting progress 🤩 This makes me wanna try out jelly gouache, thanks for making this video ✨✨

[@patriciasieunarine1358]

I love watching your videos while I am also drawing too 😍❤️

[@imawonder]

Love that!! It's like a drawing date hehe

[@yienne.illustration]

watching you paint is making me want to be more patient and concentrate when I paint. ✨

[@michellepage5021]

Shoot, we are so lucky to get all the info that you talk about in all of your videos. Ive taken notes more than once, so thank you for sharing your input and knowledge with us!

[@CuriouslyAshley]

I love Squarespace!!! I find it’s so user-friendly and looks very professional with a possible personal touch

[@imawonder]

Agreed!!

[@Zenancyne]

Re: studio vlogs, if you're feeling it, I'd love to see a studio tour (when possible). I binge studio tours so much and day dream about having my own haha

[@imawonder]

Hehe staaay tuned!

[@royalry7129]

I’m a simple being, I see pretty pictures I click

[@CinnamonyPasteline]

In live with the way you choose ur colors in style you inspire me so much :)

[@imawonder]

Aw thanks so much!

[@garzapinups]

I love these studies! The perspective in them are great and colors are beautiful!

[@AlssadaryaM]

Would love to see you on Twitch for sure! I enjoy how open you are with your community about all your thoughts and journeys. Can't wait to be here when you reach all your goals this year, lots of love!

[@emjayflores6098]

i really love studio vlogs so i'm really (really) excited about it. cheers to a better year coming! 🥂🤞

[@Lilly-rv1vs]

I adored the Klaus movie as well and have watched it multiple times, I love the way you remade the scenes. Your color matching is really good.

[@jwuluvsyou]

Studio vlogs! I love putting those on the the background as I work so I hope you end up making some. Those are some super exciting goals you have, wishing you the best this year!

[@na.nella.]

I just watched Klaus for the first time this past week! I agree, the art and style is incredible!

[@mathildehrd8778]

Hello ! This got into my recommended and I do not regret clicking. I love how genuine and humble you are, acknowledging your own limits and shouting out to other content makers out here ! Also you've made me inspired to try painting once again (oooh scary) Thank you so much.

[@monroemoltolv]

The squeeze bottle for diluting the paints is such an amazing idea! So happy I clicked on this video, its been a long time since i've done art in a while but this has really inspired me to give gouache another go!!

[@autumnmayo1024]

My art goals for this year is to find an art style that I can use comfortably so that I might start doing commissions! Also, get better at figure drawing. As a start I created a character and draw the figure in different art styles.

[@tinglyart3877]

I absolutely adore Klaus and so happy to see you try it out in gouache, it is perfect! Love how you share your thoughts about your future plans for your youtube channel too :)

[@sallysparrow17]

Can't wait to follow your 2021 journey!

[@barbthemonstera5294]

It’s so cozy and inspiring watching you paint the whole way through ❤😊

[@nikkiej.5875]

These screencap studies came out beautifully. I also love Klaus. I watched it for the first time in 2019 with my family and I just fell in love with the movie. I watched it twice last year and it’s just a beautiful movie. Even if it’s not Christmas, I still think it’s a movie worth watching because it was so well-done. Now I feel like taking screencaps of some of the scenery from the movie just to give it a try myself. So much inspiration. 😀🥰

[@jennifercase393]

You're absolutely right in that you have to do things you enjoy. Your audience will be here to watch. And I loved this set-up with the wider angle shot...it was great to see how you mix colors, etc. Loved these studies!

[@hannahmayo7235]

So beautiful ❤️❤️ I’m sure you’ll achieve your goals! You work hard!

[@pariah73]

loved the suggestions for channels to watch..you did a great job at recommending people from many popular media styles!

[@brittneynicolemcloud]

Made me get my gouache out. Thanks 😘 my painting turned out beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration ! Always

[@ericastoddard1068]

I love your art! I love watching while drawing along, always sparks my inspiration hearing you talk about why and how you chose what to paint. I also just want to say, water to add to paint in a squirt bottle.....absolutely genius!!

[@hellochristy55]

Your painting skills are goals 🥰🥰🥰! I love Klaus and your studies are beautiful!!!

[@royalry7129]

This video is SUCH a vibe ☺️

[@chedoodles]

I truly enjoy your videos✨ You are perfectly entitled not to make tutorials! As an audience, I enjoy your insights while doing speedpaint. Would love to see more this year!

[@CuredByKay321]

I love the colors in these landscape studies! My 2021 Art Goals: start my own sticker shop, create more (gouache & acrylic)paintings, and to do more studies on things I wouldn't normally draw/paint/create.

[@laolaapanda3723]

i've set myself the goal of trying out different mediums each week to get a feel for what I like. I feel like I do so many things and never stick and improve on one thing, which hinders my progression. Through this I want to hopefully find my style/niche too. My other art goal is to finish the projects that I have started... and to not be scared if they don't turn out they way I want.

[@MazaArts]

I really love how the paintings turned out 😍 wow wow wow

[@lornawestwick6704]

These are beautiful

[@nanalevine2494]

Happy new year and thanks for the video !! See you for the next one.

[@imawonder]

Happy new year!

[@bailey_luv]

The precision!! 😍

[@cloeywalker4811]

beautiful painting 😍 i learn so much from your videos on gouache

[@YizyDraw]

Anyone inspired to try Gouache painting after this video? 😍

[@natalietee2279]

I totally support your decision to pursue what you feel more passionate in terms of content creation, otherwise it’s so easy to get creative burnout. Looking forward to what you have in store for us, especially the studio vlogs! :)

[@dmaciel2830]

Love your art!!❤

[@joacasbar]

I would love to see some videos of you organizing your studio and new work space! Looking forward to it ❤️

[@imawonder]

Hoping to film some of that when I start setting up the new space!

[@diyaqaim329]

Best way to start the new day💓

[@SmillyDonut]

Yay to more chatty art videos. Videos like this one are my absolute favourite. I like being able to just watch you paint for inspiration or listen to you talk while I work on my own stuff. So happy.

[@imawonder]

Yay, thank you! I also love having chatty art videos play while I work too which is why I think I prefer to make them

[@annadownya7754]

Keep your video style!! Some people enjoy teaching, others are mixed. I enjoy just watching you create art. I love your fanart discussion. I love when you discuss what you're using too. I expanded my polychromos collection this past year after you're recommendation and I'm glad I did!! Thanks for everything you do.

[@imawonder]

AH, that makes me so so happy to hear thank you so much! Ooh so exciting, they're such nice and reliable coloured pencils!

[@BiahibuscuArt]

This is so stunning! Klaus is definitely one of my fave movies of last year and I'be watched it multiple times. It was also so nice to hear you speak about your plans, and I totally agreed that you should make the content you feel more comfortable with. This is your platform after all, and I always love all the videos you put out!

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much Bia!

[@itsaia3909]

I love this art so much❤️❤️

[@gabbywilliamson76]

I love these paintings

[@MimimooIllustration]

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on prioritising art you're proud of and the double edged sword of content creation and success, it was super insightful for someone like me who is earlier in their art journey! ❤

[@silje.on.youtube]

Been following you a full year now and I just wish to share how big of an inspiration you’ve been to my motivation and creativity. Just wow! Looking forward to another full year 💖

[@imawonder]

AW thanks for the continued support!

[@barbarakramer]

Even though you don't do the so called "tutorial videos" I'm ALWAYS learning with your videos, just from watch you paint and draw. Actually I just realized they are not tutorials because you said hahaha. Also, you bring so much information about tv shows, other artists to follow and art struggle that, in my opinion, you shouldn't even bother with tutorials. there is already a lot of value in your content. thank you for that. you are perfect as you are. hahaha

[@imawonder]

Oh my goodness you are the absolute best!! This really makes my day to hear, thank you so so much for your kind words I seriously appreciate it

[@ginasartcorner5686]

The colors and the sceneries are so so nice! Also, love listening to you~ Okay, I really have to use my gouache more this year, it always looks so creamy and satisfying! :D Can´t wait to see what content you will show us this year. My resolution for one is, to draw more of my Original characters and maybe redraw some old illustrations that I like in my current style.

[@imawonder]

Yaaa do it!! Gouache is so fun to use! Oh those are fantastic goals! I'm also hoping to redraw some old illustrations of mine too!

[@swamp6825]

It’s really helpful being able to see your palette! I get a better read on what consistency your paint is :]

[@zyaapaintings9341]

Such a magical painting! 🥺🌈

[@JoAnn12]

I love the movie Klaus!!

[@Razhali]

Wow, squarespace must love you. You advertise for them quite a lot. I know you like them so that's very good and with all the sponsorships from them, I hope it really helps your channel. Also, I like how you have 1 specific sponsor and you're not always jumping around multiple sponsorships like most creators, which at least makes me feel that you're more trustworthy since you seem to not just accept anything and you really want to like what you're advertising. You go girl

[@briannabee225]

I love watching your videos so much, i find it really hard to get over the 'ugly' stage you talk about in the middle of painting which often makes me give up, but your videos really help me visualise that ugly stage turning into something beautiful if you just stick with it. My favourite videos of yours are the ones of you playing around in your sketch book and I'm super excited for the studio vlogs! Hope the new year treats you kindly ❤

[@imawonder]

I'm so glad to help give some perspective on the ugly stages! They can be really discouraging but sometimes you just gotta trust the process

I want to get better with backgrounds and colours! During inktober I figured out I could draw way more background pieces than I ever imagined I could, but not digitally. Unless I have a very short amount to do a background and not too much pressure I manage, but I'd love to begin the starting process of making a webcomic so it's something I really wanna work on. Didn't really think I had goals but I actually do hahha

This was so good. I knew some of the youtubers you mentioned but I didn’t even know one of them had a KZbin channel! Those were really great suggestions. Also, my art goals for this year is to explore my art more. I’d also like to get a lot more serious about it to learn & master different skills and mediums. I’m tired of wishing & aspiring to be this amazing artist and not doing anything about it so it’s time. 2020 showed me that.

[@imawonder]

So glad I can recommend some great channels! Those are great goals, best of luck!

[@TyTLZacharie]

@@imawonder yes ma’am! I follow at least the two of them you mentioned on Instagram for a good while now. Thank you, same to you! I can’t wait to see what you have in store this year! I genuinely enjoy your content so much ✨

I loved how these paintings came out! Also I like that you used the Arteza watercolor book because I see so many review on YT but never use it in any videos. I can’t wait to see more videos like this! ☺️

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much!! I will admit the Arteza watercolour sketchbook is not my favourite (I feel like the paper doesn't handle watercolours the way I'd like) but I do like the size and it's quite inexpensive which is great for studies/experimenting like this since I don't have to feel precious about it :)

[@autumnskiesart2686]

@@imawonder It’s definitely not my favorite sketchbook either for watercolors, which stinks because I love that style of book. The paper quality is not amazing and I swear the colors always look dull but I still try to use it for practice too.

[@kevinvillasuso7307]

I really like your painting

[@Zenancyne]

I totally get the double edged sword thing! I started my YT channel in September (with you and Waffles as inspiration, not going to lie) and wanting to be more consistent with creating videos and content has meant that I've filmed some drawings that I dont LOVE but wanted to get a video out really bad (to appease the algorithm gods) and I'd really like to move past that. I have a lot of video ideas that I'm more passionate about and I hope will produce work that I actually enjoy :)

[@imawonder]

It's a tough balancing act! But I think the main takeaway that I have is to just trust my gut on things and ultimately do what makes sense for me. Hope you're able to achieve your goals!

I like that your channel is not review based or instructional based. I feel like every other channel is review based or instructional based.
