This video was a huge encouragement!! I love your channel and watching your videos. I’ve also had my channel for just over a year now, and although it hasn’t done super well I suppose, I really enjoy making videos and sharing my art. It’s definitely hard not to compare timelines, but I’m in it for the long game and can’t wait to see what comes of it! I love my tiny community, and being a part of so many others. (I love the spread too, your artsyle is SO cute!🤩💜)

[@sourxmonkey]

Your channel has definitely helped me with my own fears and insecurities about making content :') I struggle w/ looking at my statistics all the time and sometimes feel that fear of "why continue?" But what you said about it being a marathon not a sprint is so motivational and I appreciate videos like this sm

[@latteswiirl]

i'm really happy to hear that!! yes it can be incredibly challenging sometimes but hang in there we got this ;u;✨✨

[@iluvshinobu813]

I quit art a year ago but after watching your draw with me's I'm drawing more consistently! It's just relaxing to hear you talk and be comfortable while drawing.

[@MidnightLuvs2draw]

your art style is really cute I love it!

[@LilyLikesToDraw]

Heyy I'm Lily, a 13 year-old artist, and i just found your account. i am currently on a you tube journey as well. I love watching your videos while I draw. I make speed paints (traditional art) with lofi music

[@ChantelleArts]

you're doing amazing! I've been on here 2 years now and sometimes it's hard to see the growth, especially when you've put so much time in and really want to succeed, we're in this together ❤

[@latteswiirl]

thank you chantelle!! ;__; i really admire your dedication and consistency, you are incredibly underrated as an art youtuber, your videos always have such a fun and interesting and cozy vibe. all the best to you as well, yes we're in this together!!🫶💖

[@espensibledolls5015]

I’m obsessed with how this turned out ! Also love listening to you talk it’s soothing lol

[@latteswiirl]

aa thank you!

[@orsaleart]

I love the vibes of everything, your content just genuinely feels so comforting!🌻🌻

[@elafila6883]

i sooo wanna start youtube too like just to connect to other people in the art community or just to document my progress but i have no idea of what to talk about in the voice over i guess one just has to try it and find out. your video was super relaxing and i love the chill vibes

[@Starlight_Manga]

I love love LOVE how this spread turned out!!! i seriously love your art style, it’s so adorable, my favorite part is definitely how you draw the faces! They look so happy and cute ^^ congratulations on your first year!!! You are doing so amazingly!! I love watching all your videos, your videos are so cozy and it feels almost like im on a call with a friend, which i love 💖 you are totally one of my favorite youtubers for sure! I am also trying to grow on youtube, it’s very fun, i enjoy youtube a lot! Tbh I totally get what you are saying with how you find the “first videos will be bad” comment to be encouraging!! I feel the same way actually! I can’t wait to see where you go on your art and youtube journey! Thank you for sharing your art, again, i love it so much!

[@latteswiirl]

thank you sooo much!

[@evanoradraws]

I’m so glad ❤ I needed to hear this, because I quit making videos when I was 17 since I was discouraged by people who were close to me. I was doing so well, but it made me kind of embarrassed when they see my channel, and even when they make unnecessary comments about it 😅. So I hid everything, but now I’m 21 ! I’m also getting back into KZbin. Honestly I forgot how fun it was to make videos😊 I mean I’m not doing well now like before, but ! I’m not letting it get to me because as you say it takes patience!! 🎉❤ I love your videos !!

[@hannahsart7792]

I really enjoy your art and commentary it's really encouraging to me. Sometimes when I'm editing a video if it's not perfect it gets me discouraged and makes me want to not post it. But I kinda still want to share my art for fun ya know. Really cute drawings tho! 😊💝

[@Jssc_]

Hey!! I love your videos, but I was wondering for this traditional footage if you filtered it at all? I love the saturation and colors, so if you do can you tell me what you adjust? No worries if not or anything, your art is adorable !!❤️ ❤️

[@latteswiirl]

aw thank you!🩷 i don't use a filter but i do deepen the saturation a little and manually add a bit of contrast by lightening highlights and deepening shadows; i do this variably with each type of clip according to what i think it needs (and i copy n paste those edits for clips that are similar to each other). i wish i could use a premade "filter" and i might try to make my own in the future but so far i feel like almost every clip is so different it needs its own unique adjustments xD

[@Jssc_]

@@latteswiirl ooooo cool, thank you :)))

[@Mushroomjumscare]

Omg happy one year as a KZbinr!!! A couple years back I used to post animation memes on this channel 😭😭 so talking about gaining traction one utube and stuff felt a bit nostalgic to me lol!! But seriously, every video you post makes my day and you e always inspired me to be more confident in my own art!! Happy road to 10k latte!! ^_^

[@latteswiirl]

thank you so much mushroom!! ;o;🫶💖 i'm really happy to hear that you've been inspired! i always appreciate your support and kind words. thank you again and all the best to you as well!!

[@Mr.Cringe-rd7zc]

how did i not hear of you before ? time to catch up by watching and liking all of your videos one by one ❤

[@superstarmario101]

Wow, I love your cute style for these, the expressions and poses are really nice, the linework is so bold and deliberate, like you can perfectly visualize what you're going to do before your pencil even touches the paper, and this is just casual doodling out of your head, I can't imagine what sort of things you can come up with when you're actually planning out a big project. I'm glad things are going well with your channel so far, I hope it keeps growing, you deserve it, you're such a great artist. Your format for these "draw with me" videos is so relaxing, even though you're way out of my league, I don't feel intimidated by your work, I feel inspired, like I actually have a friend that I can enjoy drawing along with. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us!

[@latteswiirl]

ahh thank you so so much!!!✨ ;o; i really appreciate it, your comments are always so encouraging and sweet. i don't really feel that advanced but that's very nice of you to say so lol!✨🥲 i'm happy to hear you feel that way about my videos, and i hope i can continue to create videos with that same effect ⭐️

[@superstarmario101]

​​@@latteswiirl You're welcome. Well, you certainly seem advanced to me, if you saw any of my work, you'd probably understand why I think so, lol. It's just fascinating to me how you start out with such a basic framework and make something so beautiful out of it, it always amazes me to see different artist's processes. Yeah, I feel like art should be the kind of thing where you can just take time on a quiet, peaceful afternoon and just relax and get lost in your enjoyment of it, and you really capture that feeling. As long as you keep doing what you've been doing, I'm sure your channel will always be a fun, relaxing place to visit.

[@moon_cast]

A NEW LATTESWIIRL VID WOOO 🎉 I also get weirdly encouraged by my older/bad videos because it shows that I have something to improve on and can look forward to the outcome!

[@latteswiirl]

yes exactly!!!! how boring would it be if there was no improving at something? and it's like, being "bad" at things doesn't hold me back. i'm cringe but i'm free :D✨✨

[@Nel_Kasa]

Your art is lovely ✨

[@rain__cloud3]

Im pretty new, but I genuinely hope your channel and videos get more attention! Your art, video quality, and voiceover is so nice and chill. ❤️ Best of luck for you and your channel ✨

[@latteswiirl]

thank you so much, truly. it means a lot. ;__; 💖

[@TheZoeverse]

Good luck on getting to 10 thousand subscribers! That’s so exciting! If your goal is to help inspire people with art, know that you have reached that goal ^^ I love listening to you while I draw. I’m trying to start a KZbin channel (this one). I only have one video right now because I’ve been busy with Artfight, but I’m excited to try even though it’s hard.

[@latteswiirl]

all the best to you that's very exciting!!!✨✨ take your time and have fun with it! and thank you so much for your kind words and support ;__;💖

[@rainicorndraws]

I’ve been watching your older channel since 2016 so when you rebooted your channel I was ecstatic! It’s amazing how far you’ve come as a you tuber and I’m super proud of you!! In a way your channel helped me to have a bit of a different perspective when it comes to art and it has definitely inspired me to work more with my sketchbook, this year is the most I’ve used it. As a somewhat former youtuber who used to just upload generic speed paints on my channel I’ve been dying to dig it up and give it a fresh coat of paint, I just didn’t exactly know where to start because I didn’t want it to be the same. I’m probably just going to turn it into mainly an art channel and still upload Timelapses but include some commentary about random things I want to talk about and I might also try art challenges.It’s still very much a work in progress but I want to make something of it again. Again, congrats on all the goals you achieved on your channel and I look forward to your future endeavors.

[@latteswiirl]

thank you for being here for so long amanda! ;v;🫶💖 that means a lot to hear that watching me overtime, i worry how much i'm actually improving sometimes LOL. that's really exciting that you want to reboot your channel as well!! i'll be absolutely looking forward to seeing what you create in the future as well ^^✨ thank you again so much and all the best to you too!!🫶

[@LongLiveChocolate]

im also the the youtube grind! my goal is to post weekly for a whole year and so far i havent failed 🥳 posting regularly has really shown me that it truely is a marathon, not a sprint. this year has been the first time ive ever had a steady flow of subscribers coming in haha and its definitely due to my weekly upload scheduel your art and channel inspires me so much, and gives me some good video ideas to work off of! 💖 keep being amazing

[@latteswiirl]

WOW that's amazing!! i can only hope to be able to say the same lol! and that's really encouraging to hear! all the best to you in your journey from here on out 💖 aw you too!!

[@SketchingWithShell]

I just started my KZbin 2 days ago and found this video now!! Thank you so much for sharing! I feel very self conscious about sharing videos right now but sure it will get easier 😆

[@SweetieDreamz]

Loved this video! I was listening while drawing~ I myself am working on my first KZbin video- I like your approach about just making the 100 videos and seeing from there. I might do that as well!

[@latteswiirl]

i'm glad you liked it!💖 you totally should, that mindset has definitely helped me out a lot xD

[@quokkaloveshugs00]

i loved this graphite only spread❤

[@Bloomkyaaa]

I'm afraid to draw while recording because suddenly I feel stressed out. 💀😭

[@latteswiirl]

i still feel it lowkey messes me up too sometimes lol 🥲

[@NatTheRat2]

Ur artstyle is so pretty and cute!!

[@latteswiirl]

thank you!!💞💞

[@DragonFoxStar]

Thank you Latteswiirl art for making these lovely videos! They are so inspirational more than you know! Recently I've been feeling down with my art lately...especially with one of my ocs being white-washed on Art Fight as well as an unwanted critique as well. I'm glad that you do wholesome content that comes from you and not expecting much out of it. It's so hard to get caught up in numbers and followers/subscribers that a lot of times I see other creators get too caught up in that...but you don't which is amazing to me and made me personally want to follow you because you strive for realistic goals and just creating your own content just as you naturally can be. I don't know where I'm going with this, but I want you to know that I'm glad to have saw your AF videos and subscribe your channel. It's really been nice to just listen to your voice and watch you draw. Thank you for all that you do, and I hope you can get to 10k (you are almost there!). But most importantly continue being wholesome and having fun as well

[@latteswiirl]

aw i'm really sorry to hear that happened to you, that's not cool. it means a lot that you enjoyed my video and find it relaxing and wholesome ;u; idk what to say but just thank you so, so much for all your kind words and sentiments, i haven't stopped thinking about this comment. it means a lot

Can you please use color pencils for next sketch video?🥹

[@Pokelover-s1m]

YOUR’E SO COOL AT ART❤❤❤❤ I wanna do that. I gonna get a sketchbook soon, and I want to learn more drawing throughout the summer. Do u think I can do it @LatteSwiirl?

[@latteswiirl]

AW THANK YOU💖💖 i totally think you can and should do it xD all the best to you in your art journey as well!!✨

[@Pokelover-s1m]

This is my idea of my story: Characters: -Niko (a yellow fox persona I love) -Pyra (her name is combined with Pyro but an a at the end, she’s a red dragon persona) -Wawo (I wanted to mix his name with Wawa and o, and he’s a blue puppy persona) Setting: A snowy setting like a mountain. Plot: One night in the snowy mountains of Polar Hills, a yellow fox shivering in its box. By the minute he felt, warmer. (He has fur so that’s why) then he wanted to go out in the snow, so he did. Then, he felt himself glowing a yellow bright light. He turned into a fox human, he knew how to walk and talk. Soon after walking in the cold snow he finds a cabin. He goes inside to see a Red Dragon person and a Blue Puppy person sitting. He introduced himself. They all did, then they got to know about each other. Then Pyra (the red dragon person) says that this evil sorceress Darkened Gala was gonna destroy the world with the Dark Soul Scythe. It had the power of many corrupted souls. The only thing that can stop her is the Celestial Powers of the Celestial Gem. It has the power of so many suns. It will purify the evil in Darkened Gala and make her snap back from her dark side. Niko was shocked by all of this, he was nervous but determined to save the world. They all put their hands in, then they set out. That’s it so far. Villains: -Dark Fox (she has a blindfold on her face and can summon 2 snake spirits thanks to her snake soul bracelet.) -Witch Cat (she is a witch that has cool and cruel magic, she has one eye that’s has 2 pupils and the other one normal) -Darkened Gala (she is the main villlain, she orders Witch Cat and Dark Fox. Darkened Gala is the ruler of the Organization of the Dark empire.) Celestials: - Celestial Zio and Awakened Kombucha. The two Celestials who protect the planet with their holy powers. That’s it. If you guys liked my concept, leave a like on my comment and subscribe to @LatteSwiirl for encouraging me to do this. Love you dearly LatteSwiirl.

[@Pokelover-s1m]

Witch Cat is actually a he. Sooooooo
