Background Drawing CHALLENGE

Karina’s looks like that one full page panel when you’re reading comics, and you know that the artist put it in there just to flex. It basically is that, actually.

[@Scrofar]

Karina snapped, and her true power was unleashed

[@rincentvanuggh1911]

it's actually so you know what the place looks like before the scene starts, though i can't deny there is a level of flex involved...

[@Minto8384]

When you're that good why WOULDN'T you flex?

[@RandomPlaceHolderName]

Something tells me artists do that to just switch things up a bit, both for themselves and the readers. The monotony of doing comicbook work has to be on a whole other level, especially for creative people.

Nathan: this is awesome and totally going to inspire a show Jacob: I would play this, and might even try to do this myself Karina: this is a comic I'm reading tonight Julia: pass me the migraine medication

[@faustlican5566]

Julia's artistic process is so otherworldly and unknowable that to even attempt to conceive it is to welcome madness. Not unlike an Eldritch horror

[@tishasmile206]

I still love the fact that Nathan continues to ask what everybody's brush is.

I am the someone who can perfectly recall the episode in question, lol. I believe it was the very first episode of Iced Drawfee. I remember Caldwell had forgot to press record on their first shot at it, so this was actually their second recording, and Caldwell made Nathan confess to the crime all over again. It's a great ep. To the uninitiated, Iced Drawfee was a lil pre-show warm-up podcast.

I think a cool idea, stemmed off Jacob saying "This makes me want to challenge myself to spend longer on a drawing", would be if you each spent 8 hours on a drawing for speed draw. Then you can talk about your experiences and what went through your minds. People like Nathan and Jacob never spend that length of time on anything they draw so it would be so interesting to hear how they felt hours into a drawing. That's the only prompt. Draw whatever you want, but spend 8 hours on it.

[@thriceandonce]

Shit yeah, I would love this!

[@xXTheAroXx]

that would be so insanely cool, but its a lot to ask of the crew! XD theyd have to really be up for it

[@orangeismyfavoritecolor]

Drawing isn’t easy.. drawing for that long is super draining, and from my experience, I start to get super mad when it gets to that point.. so in general, I don’t think that’s a good idea.

[@thriceandonce]

@@orangeismyfavoritecolor I wouldn't want it to be "8 hours in one go", definitely, but I _would_ like to see what a piece that they worked on for 8 hours in total would look like

[@justinmontana3710]

When Nathan mentioned doing a Steven Universe style mashup, my immediate thought was "Heck yeah!" My NEXT thought, though, was doing a Steven Universe Fusion Challenge! Each member of the drawfee crew draws an SU style fusion between themself and one of their co-hosts. For example, Nathan draws a fusion of him and Korrina, Korrina draws a fusion of her and Jacob, and so on. They can talk about what their fusions personality might be, if they have extra eyes or arms, that kind of thing. Just thought that would be a neat idea!

I’d like to see other centaurs. Like, people with the lower half of animals that they just really shouldn’t have (Such as those of a Cockroach, snail, bird, or frog) just trying to do normal human things like waiting in a queue or at the bus stop, possibly near other regular humans who are notably uncomfortable. Yes I’ve been copy-pasting this same comment on every video that comes out. No way in hell I’m gonna type that mess out every time they post something. And I’m not going to stop until they do it. Not like it inconveniences me in any way ...please? Pretty please? I can’t remember how long I’ve been doing this anymore. The only thing that keeps me going is the genuinely supportive replies people keep posting. Thanks y’all. ...you know who I miss? Jake Young. It was a blessing whenever they had him on for an episode.

[@morganparsons6528]

There’s something about the way Julia goes about her art that really hits a good chord for me. As someone who’s always been the awkward neurodivergent kid with just a ton of niche esoteric interests, hearing someone talk about wanting to get across such a specific concept and mood and then watching them do it in such a cool way feels extremely validating. Thanks for the mood boost Julia!

Peak millennial: “either 8 hours of drawing or 10 hours of animal crossing”

[@pia1945]

I think there are more younger people who play animal crossing? Not to imply that millennials are old but a lot of them are in their 30s so they might be a bit busier than like people in their 20s and younger

I'll even elaborate because there are things I've only recently been learning that I'm getting to see exemplified in practice and I want to froth among my online art kin - this goes for the whole Drawfee family too - look at those panel lines along the walls, it looks like sort of spaced wood plank facade (with that 45' angle I remember from weird late 80s "fun" public spaces)? And the "wing" lines cut across them at a different angle so it doesn't create a tangent and makes it visually clearer...I mean - we all heard the noises Nathan kept making at Karina and Julia's geometry work (even though Nathan's landscape was...like....sublime?). Jacob, you're good too. I'm just messing, you're an amazing teacher and you know you're better than you make out. Thank all you guys
