It’s kind of a relief to hear a good artist say that you don’t need to do figure drawings and timed gestures to learn anatomy 😅 Just observe, use shapes, and try!

[@ayeoops]

yeah! some say that you must learn how to draw realistic and learn anatomy rules in order to break them, but i believe that as long as you find a way to draw bodies the way that YOU want them to look, then screw studying

[@animegurlmbp]

@@ayeoops this is great advice thank you both

[@quartzaio.006]

this is going to be a long comment so be prepared hello! I don't really know how to start this, but you are my favorite artist. I absolutely love your art style, and your OCs, but I really love how you talk about yourself during your videos. Getting to know you is really comforting and honestly inspires me to keep drawing even more. It makes me think of you more of a person and less like a constant art-producing robot like other artists I watch. Hearing about your art classes and your honest opinions is really refreshing because so many people say they love art classes but I don't really like having to draw something specific, I like being able to draw whatever I'd like. Hearing about how you were nervous about doing the art class, and were bored at first made me feel more normal. And you talking about how these classes have helped encourages me to continue taking my classes. Everything about your videos makes me feel so welcome and I often have your videos playing over and over while I'm drawing or playing games. As much as I can't wait for your videos to blow up (I have no doubt that they will), I really hope that your subscribers won't just turn into numbers, because this channel feels like such a safe space, and I hope it can stay that way. I cannot wait for more stickers! I need them. Not want, need. This may sound weird but whenever I watch your videos I feel like I'm going to fall asleep. Your videos aren't boring, but they are so calming. I can't be the only person who feels that way. Most of the time, I struggle with drawing interesting outfits, and your designing videos have been helping me a lot. I've also been starting to use more vibrant colors, thanks to you! I'll be honest, I haven't finished this video yet because I have been writing this, and I must pause it because I refuse to miss a second (I'm at 13:32 right now). Whenever I watch your videos, I always find myself uncontrollably smiling, what is this witchcraft?! Anywho, I'll be sure to get my dad to buy me your stickers, and if he doesn't .. I don't know I'll be really sad. Sorry for the very long comment, and keep up the good work! (by the way, you are the first person that I have found that holds the pen the same way I do)

[@ayeoops]

if u ask me, our way of holding it is superior >:) this is such a sweet comment and it's people like you that motivate me to keep making these videos. thank you so much for watching and enjoying my content

I personally think gesture drawing helped me improve , I at first started focusing a bit too much so I gave myself a 2-5 min timer and drew just the basic shapes and slowly started avoiding too much details at first and I think that improved me drawing poses , and it also give a better time using refrences from Pinterest because now I could actually just see the overall structure and simple shapes instead of just drawing what I was seeing

[@turniptoast]

I looove that you also do the posing in the mirror things too!! bc when we have no idea what we're doing we have to adapt and overcome sometimes I take it a step further and have someone take a picture of me doing the pose 🥲maybe I should learn anatomy.....

[@mk-aka-morgan8386]

Your character designs are so cute!!!

If you wanna just practice drawing and you practice on fruits, bottles ect., and you think its boring, I have a tip for you! If you have a favourite tool like watercolour or acrilic paint, or just color pencils, draw it with them! If you do an art with your favourite tool, you're gonna enjoy it even if you think its boring. If you wanna test, or just try out new tools, that is great for that too. For example, I used to hate painting with water colour, but I'm in an art school, and we had to paint with them at class, so I just got used to it, and then realized, I really love painting like this because Its just really calming for me, and always look good. Okay, i'm not saying that you can paint/draw anything perfectly for the first time (with a new tool), it takes a bit practice, but if you interested in it and you want to actually learning it, you're gonna enjoy it at the end. (sorry, if it doesn't really make sense, or have grammar mistakes, english is my second language, so it was a bit difficult to write this down :P)

[@sprout12730]

congrats to everyone who won!!! y'all did amazing!!

[@Acceleration50]

Congrats to all the winners of the contest! Also, it's so cool that I actually made it into the honorable mentions, thank you for commenting on my submission. ❤

[@erisguzman3351]

i’m so excited to hear that you’re opening a sticker shop!! i honestly really like studio vlogs because it makes me appreciate the individual stickers themselves even more!! id love to see how you prepare your store and stuff. it’s really exciting to watch people grow because it gives me motivation. i would also totally buy your kid-core stickers because i love bright colors!!

[@flannagus4787]

HER OUTFIT IS SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@wannabeartistj8741]

I always get happy when I see a new upload🥹💞

[@Imprettyghoul]

I’m completely the same with my art. I learnt to draw by just watching other people draw or observing people. I’ve barely learnt anatomy 😂

Lmaooo honestly I'm so glad you said you don't really know what you're doing when it comes to bodies. After 6 years of art school, I still get this question and my answer is always "idk I just kinda put shapes together until it looks right" 😂

[@keashmeaaart]

Everybody had such gorge designs in ur comp I absolutely loved looking thru some of them sm

[@ayeoops]

[@sleepy-kae]

I had so much fun in the contest!! Congrats to everyone that participated!! Y'all are seriously talented. Also Lauren, I was wondering if you do prints or have considered doing prints?? Because I would definitely buy prints of all three of the Halloween OC designs!! They're so pretty, I just wanna put them by my desk and stare at them for inspiration. Thanks for the video!! Good luck with your sticker business!! 💕

[@ayeoops]

not dabbling in prints atm, but i might look into using inprint at one point! for now i may make stickers of them

[@rarenadiralibra4646]

HEY been a while hasnt it gosh i didnt even realize it was haloween but its not really celebrated here goodness i love this design girl you not bad at explaining stuff, im pretty sure when artist start to draw something random- not much goes through their head especially mine, so when it comes to artist who do explain they probably have to break it down by actually taking the time to think about it and break it down even more for people to understand it i believe i want me some chocolate right now i said it once and ill say it again I love this angle omg a sticker business, when where? lets not worry about things like what if this works what if that works, do your remember that saying that was overused back then yea lemme just say it for you again "JUST DO IT" lol, have more confidence your abilities, dont overthink, dont rethink and give up if you have an idea in your head that seems like a good plan just do it :> once i reach of age ill definitely buy some of your stickers sydney half alien, you definitely have a plan i think i always create ocs, i just never draw them again nless its like a redraw or something i love how you played with the colors with this one thank you for the oppurtunity ayeoops :D
