Your comment about how repition improves your abilities reminded me of every conversation about art I've had with my kid niece. "Why are you so good?" "Because I practice almost every day! I make a lot of bad stuff you never even see!" "I don't want to practice, I just want to be good!"

[@HamSammye]

I adore this way of creating characters😌 it looks so satisfying my eyes are so pleased✨the blue looks amazing so far

[@imawonder]

Aw thanks so much!

[@meganscorner.]

Now this sounds like a challenge I definitely need to try! Maybe I’ll make a video too... if it looks as good as yours does 😊❤️

[@imawonder]

Yay you totally should!! Thanks so much!

[@mmagalhaesg]

your high school vampire obsession reminded me that for years, like maybe from 9-ish until i was 16 I was crazy about mermaids, i loved drawing them, i thought they were The coolest mythical creature, like not only can you breathe underwater but also your whole thing is that you're just TOO beautiful? sign me up

[@imawonder]

Hahaha absolutely!! I still absolutely love mermaids! Probably the mythical creature I've drawn the most :P

[@animdoodle]

Late reply, but same here! My obsession with being a mermaid was absolutely something I was really involved in. But nowadays I just really love drawing them :))) Except I try to draw them as realistically and ugly as possible :)) wish I could show ya lel

[@marienkafer164]

Hey 👋 I’ve just got accept in an art school in Zürich last week. (It’s called ‘Liceo Artistico’) You have inspired me very much and I just wanted to thank you for all☺️♥️

[@_heartcakes_]

oooh congratulations!!!

[@imawonder]

Aw that's amazing, congrats!!

[@klaramahlke5283]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch :D

[@magamer4212]

Wow congrats

[@nothoshi]

congratulations!!!

[@childhoodnostalgia2912]

Will you please continue this? This was so cool!!!

[@imawonder]

Aw I'm so glad you liked it!! I do have a mermaid sketched out for a pink/red colour palette ;)

[@Ginn31]

Among my favorite is the Headless Horsewoman of Irish folklore. The fact that she's actually a fairy and like a more badass grim reaper is what I love about. Nothing can stop her on the night she comes to collect the soul, locks and bolts open upon her arrival like W O W. And the only thing that can stop her is gold. To all who actually know the lore more correctly pls forgive because this is what I know and love.

[@moeismynickname]

My favorite folklore character to me would be a more horror based character named La Llorona. The reason is she a said to be once a very Beautiful woman in Mexico long ago that caught the eye of a very wealthy man- where both they get married. But honestly the story of love this tale is not since La Llorona altering having two kids with the husband she loved, found him in the arms of another women. So she took her two kids lives as well as her own, and in her afterlife she roams the Earth as a Spirit looking for her kids. But Beware since if you hear her crys she may think your hers and take you away. Honestly still like the artwork as always.

[@imawonder]

Oh yes I've illustrated La Llorona before!! Haunting and sad folklore for sure! Thanks so much

[@sianalexa4540]

Why do I want the vampire’s whole outfit 😂 this was so satisfying to watch, I’m such a fan Tina 👏 x

[@imawonder]

Haha honestly, same!! Thanks so much

[@stupidlamekids]

Love this! I'm personally kind of obsessed with Medusa

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much! Meee too!

[@macyshea9423]

Fairies! My artwork has included so many fairies recently. The endless possibilities when it comes to creating them and particularly their wings is so fun.

[@MaryamQQQ]

the way only 9 people have disliked the video just shows how much everyone enjoys this video

[@yvonnebouwhuis9419]

i love the gorgon so much! wow makes me want to try drawing one one of these days. I also love how you do your highlights on really shiny objects like the vampire's leather jacket. its not a mythical creature but i have a huge soft spot for the Goddess Persephone from greek mythology and also mermaids...because mermaids.

[@imawonder]

Thank you so much!! I have so much fun rendering shiny material hehe Oh yes great choices!! I never get tired of drawing mermaids

[@lilydrannen4489]

I love this so much! You should definitely continue this as a series with colors like yellow and red and purple and all those other colors!

[@okay.keira.creative6694]

Would love to see you continue this series with other creatures too. Wolf girl, selkie, etc. all in a single color. Could be great! Xoxo

[@sonyab.6499]

I LOVE the green! I like Medusa, unicorns, mermaids and the Minotaur.

[@laceyylmao8315]

When you were talking about NANA, I was so happy no one talks about it that much, their characters are amazing and style is so beautiful! I wish their was another season though but I love your art and style!! ;D

[@Rocker9593]

Finally Im here when it first posts! I normally get a notification 3 hrs later lol Vampires aesthetic was definitely my fave 💙🦇

[@imawonder]

Yay! Thank you! Hehe yes I agree!

[@Ghostkar]

I love your Medusa. She's beautiful. I actually liked her without the lining and lashes but those things don't look bad.

[@obsesivefunatica]

I love your monster gals! They always have so much personality and attitude to them.

[@imawonder]

AW yay, I'm so glad, thank you!! I love drawing them :D

[@EnisuRosetta]

I also feel like I grew out of Cassandra Claire. Loved the universe she created but definitely tailored to teens.

[@imawonder]

Oh totally, which is perfectly fine! I still love me a good YA novel (it's been a while since I've done much novel reading but I still enjoy the genre)

[@EnisuRosetta]

@@imawonder still my favourite book series of that time in my life. It’s also why I have a reading rule of always being alone. I remember getting to the big romance scene between Jace and Clary in the last book, and just as I was getting to the steamy part my boyfriend at the time did a giant fart. It ruined the whole vibe.

[@callianne666]

When she did the black for the background. So satisfying

[@Tutta2902]

I liked both illustrations, they are neat! You are getting braver with your alcohol markers, using them more for shading, and that is nice to see! Saw that you went over a dark area with a light marker, you can get some really nice, almost watercolor effects by doing that. I think that the vampire lady ended up being my favorite. You were very bold with the shading of her leather jacket, and I think it really paid off.

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much!! The jacket was really fun to render :D

[@melissamartinart]

I have a super-healthy pothos plant that I’ve cared for for over 10 years now! I live in downtown Toronto and if it’s not too random and weird would be more than happy to share a piece with you (once lockdown is lifted!)

[@kristenpesut]

You should do a video where you close your eyes and pick a few markers at random. The colors you pull you have to use in the drawing!

[@chimchimcher-ee8191]

yessss snake appreciation!! 🙌🙌

[@imawonder]

Always!

[@jaylynwinters5986]

I’m in love with the Medusa. I was going to have a custom one drawn for a tattoo but I love this style!!

[@HelloItsDorothy]

Love the vampire. Her outfit is super cool too!

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much!

[@mr.worldwide2205]

what a cool concept!

[@imawonder]

Aw glad you think so!!

[@UsorThem07]

I really loved both of the drawings, damn I really want alchohol markers now! Even if I got posca markers not that long ago. My favourite mythical/ folklore creature is nøkken! In norwegian folklore it's a swamp/ freshwater creature that lives at the bottom of the lake and drags people down to drown them using the lillypads. My parents told me that story when I was swimming in the freshwater lake in our hometown, probably as a warning to not get my feet tangled up in the lillypad lines or swim out too far. Rather dark but I really love the kittelsen drawings made of nøkken as well!

[@sophiqu354]

I literally ADORE your artstyle. Have you ever done redesigns of popular characters? I believe it would look awesome 💙

[@gabbywilliamson76]

I have always had a love of Vampires. They are just fascinating. I also love unicorns.

[@m0rg.u11]

I loved the mortal instruments series I finished all besides the last one, and I enjoy your art alot!

[@imawonder]

Aw!! I think I only read the first three, but I really enjoyed them at the time, Magnus was my favourite! Thanks so much!

[@selesart]

Hey! I'm just leaving a little tip here for anyone who also wants to grow a pothos. The only thing you need to make sure of is that they aren't exposed to direct sunlight for more than three to four hours. I have a big one in my garden (I've had it for 5+ years) and it's difficult for me to move it around, so I cover it with a blanket/towel. Of course, you have to water it, but once or twice a day it's more than ok! I tend to water mine twice, once in the morning and once at night :) hope this helps!

[@iilbeahoo9407]

This would be a super fun series😍

[@jordanrichardson6809]

Oh these are wonderful! Would love to see more characters designed in monochrome colors! My favorite I think currently is the selkie.

[@imawonder]

Aw thank you so much! I did have a mermaid sketched out for a pink/red colour palette so I'll probably get around to finishing that at some point! Ooh I love selkies!!

[@nikkiej.5875]

I can totally understand your vampire obsession. I loved vampires a lot when I was in middle school and loved a lot of the popular series like The Vampire Diaries and Twilight. I also read a bit of Vampire Knight but I haven’t finished that series yet. I really love how both of these drawings came out especially the gorgon. I really love mermaids. They’re like my all-time favorite mythical being and actually wanted to be a mermaid after watching a particular show that I grew up watching. 😀

[@iiowndogs7797]

This is the 1st video I've seen from ur channel I actually like it. Ur drawing is so cool :O and I've never heard an artist talk so formally with such wording. I subbed :D

[@anya2044]

I love dragons so much!! I wonder how a cute dragon girl would look in your style.

[@Bunbatty]

i love this so much i hope if you can you do more colors cause its so cool and pleasing + i love seeing what people think of with different colors

[@catherineraper]

Love these two pieces.

[@brinnlueckfeld3324]

They both turned out so beautiful!! I especially love how the gorgon turned out!!! I definitely wanna try out a monochromatic color palette for my next drawings!

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much! Yeaa do it do it!

[@meninagreen5704]

Fabulous idea and your drawing is luscious!! Thank you.

[@daniellehill1253]

Loved both illustrations. I feel so sympathetic towards Medusa, so I do make quite a bit of art about her.

[@daniellehill1253]

ZZ Plants are really, really hardy. I would recommend one of those for you. I have a fairly green thumb, but I've had some back luck with houseplants lately. So far, my ZZ plant is thriving.

[@daniellehill1253]

Last comment. I absolutely adore mermaids, fairies and unicorns. But Medusa is in my top ten.

[@imawonder]

Ooh thank you! I'll definitely keep ZZ plants in mind for the future! Also, yes I adore mermaids too!

[@etheraea]

This seems like such a fun prompt, I love how both of them turned out! I should really revisit mythology, especially checking out mythology across cultures because that's always so fun and interesting. Not sure if this counts but I'm such a huge fan of the idea of witches and magical girls, it's just so iconic and fun to think of casting spells and transformations (plus their fashion always hits like hello??) Oh!! And reapers, something about having the job of collecting people's lives is...well dark but still kind of interesting?? haha

[@SailorBootleg]

Thanks for this video! It’s really cool to see the layers even with one color. Now I want to try a monochromatic marker sketchbook entry myself!

[@imawonder]

Yess it's a really fun exercise! Thanks so much love!

[@MariJadeWrites]

Lovely characters, great job!

[@MrJilliank]

Between me forgetting to water plants and my cat eating them, I’ve turned to fake plants 😂

[@imawonder]

Hahaha oh gosh, I don't blame you!

[@MaryamQQQ]

i honestly wish i could draw like you :)

[@galadite]

I love your Gorgon drawing. I love Greek mythology and my favorite mythical creature is the Werewolf 🐺

[@echoedsoul9355]

These were just perfect. Magnificent. I would LOVE more of these in the rest of the colors(sticking to the theme). Thank you for the content!

[@lannachari1990]

Watching you draw calms me😍😌😌

[@imawonder]

Thank you so much 😀

[@JordanRLOL]

I would absolutely buy both of these as prints! i love the monochrome monsters! As a plant lover/hoarder I hate that people recommend succulents as starter plants. They are so challenging to keep alive. Pathos/pothos are the way to go!!

[@InmasColours]

I really enjoyed this video, They turned out so gorgeous! 👏🏻✨

[@A.M.D10]

Love these illustrations

[@ArtWorkOfDR]

Yes omg love them 😍 I love none natural skin tones 🥰💜

[@AngelTh3Weirdo]

Ah your art is so PRETTY

[@ynghui1107]

I really enjoyed this video! I love how u drew the plant u mentioned (i have it in my room and its very not hard to keep alive so i'm wishing u all the good luck if u end up getting one), and of course i adore both of the illustrations they are so gorgeous and so pleasing to look at 💕 my favourite mythical creature are definitely mermaids, because there is just something so magical and beautiful about them. Ihope u enjoy/enjoyed ur day as well! Love ur yt channel btw, its so inspiring 🥺💓 i follow u for a quite a long time now and i love to see u improve and grow 🌱 i'm always looking for ur next release!✨

[@imawonder]

Aw hehe thank you! I'm sure I'll make some posts about it if I do get a pothos! I love mermaids too, they're probably the mythical creature I've drawn the most

I love vampires too, What We Do in the Shadows is an awesome Hulu show that uses the old vampire tropes in a hilarious way!

[@imawonder]

Omg I loved What We Do in the Shadows, so hilarious!! (I've only seen the movie, I didn't know there was a tv show too!)

[@KellyJelly9976]

Thanks for sharing this - I love the Medusa one the best. I am super infatuated with Amazons (not a mythical character/creature tho). Ever since the show Xena - I've been obsessed. Amazons, Valkyries - strong female warriors, I love them all

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much! Oooh yes I totally agree - love me some Amazons and Valkyries too! Used to love Xena as a kid :D

[@fuzzydragons]

both look great! 😀 this reminded me i need to water my cacti lol i have a black thumb of death with most plants 😝

[@Raish_Phoenix]

These illustrations came out sooo beautifully! I love the print you did on the pants of the vampire and the green hues in the other one are just *chef’s kiss* You actually inspired me to try out Ohuhu markers and they’re so good! I recently got the 120 set and I can’t wait to play with the new colors I got. Ironically markers used to be my least favorite medium. Mostly because of high school days of just seeing them bleed everywhere and seeing a yellow marker get muddy the second it touches any other color on the paper *cringe* lol But I’m so glad you share your process with these because it’s incredibly inspiring!🥰

[@imawonder]

I'm so glad to hear it!! I totally feel you, I used to find markers really challenging to use but I've gotten more used to them in the past few years :) Thanks so much!

[@Doodler-fm6iy]

AWW thank you so much, that makes me so happy to hear!! Danger noodle is my favourite description of a snake hahaha

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

This was a realli inspiring video,I like the idea if working in just one colour,it;s a great way to get better at using colours and using different tones and values in one colour. Both characters look really amazing and I love the Bat wing shoes!!! would soo wear them. I have recently began to use markers myself. So it's really good to haer about how you use them and how they work for you in your amazing artworks.Maybe you should do this for this year's 'Huevember' challenge if you decide to do it.

[@imawonder]

Thank you so much! I kinda want a pair of these bat wing shoes too haha!

I love your madusa illustration. I enjoy vampires and shapeshifters, as well as elves and fairies. Dunno that I gravitate to one over the other but the books I read tend to focus around shapeshifters and vampires. Have you created coloring pages from any of your sketches? I would love to try coloring with my markers using your tips as guidance. Thanks for posting. P.S. Your voice is soothing to listen to. I would listen to you narrate, if that is something you have ever considered.

[@imawonder]

Totally agree - they make for great subjects for interesting stories! I had made a colouring book a loong time ago but unfortunately probably won't be making another. Thanks so much!
