This is really cute. The character has a lot of appeal and is really adorable. Thank you for your breakdown and self-analysis. Great stuff!

Thanks! I am very attached, I feel like she is my child 😂

I really like this a lot. Your work here seems quite natural and I love the concept. I've recently caught up with some of your videos again and I really enjoy seeing you working more or even mostly on your own creative projects! I feel this is a long time coming and it was great to see you take some big plunges, like moving to Italy and going to IDEA for awhile. Even though you decided to change direction, I think it ended up being a great decision. I can see how your storyboarding is improved from back when you were first trying it at IDEA. Your willingness to change and try new things AND listen to your intuition is something I admire as well. I also enjoyed your video talking about how the lockdowns had affected you. I feel that my productivity had taken a hit, especially near the start, and so it was reassuring to hear you mention it in your lockdown videos but then also talk about your plans. It's helpful for me as someone who often finds it hard to pick ONE thing to focus on to see someone who is able to stay on task quite well... at least much better than I can lol I am sure I'm not the only person that really appreciates your willingness to talk about both the ups *and* downs of the art process, and to not be afraid to talk about your thoughts *and* your feelings. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good educational/how-to video from artists too, but I think your take on things is very refreshing, relatable, and most of all inspiring!

Thank you so much for the kind words! It can be hard to see your own improvement so I appreciate you taking the time to watch and give me some encouragement. :) Lots of ups and downs since the first lockdown in Italy (feels like a lifetime ago, it's insane). You're definitely not alone in struggling to to navigate this period. I feel like I get knocked down and have to get back up again constantly, sometimes several times a day. My KZbin videos are basically the only thing keeping me on any sort of schedule so that has been a godsend!

There's an acting exercise where you hold an object and imagine how your character got it, from whom, what it means to them now etc. This is a great way to get inside a character and really understand them. It is also physical and something they can make contact with and center themselves. Some people call it a talisman, a worry stone or whatever you want, but objects ground us and give us a connection to our families, our past and our dreams.

I love this! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed researching and drawing the props-I think it was for that very reason, though: it really made me feel a connection with the story.

Been a subscriber for a while. I just follow you for my own Drawabox motivation I don’t really watch many videos sorry. So I’ll leave a comment and let you know that - Your character is great, looks very professional. 👍

[@beccarand]

Thanks Liz!

ACRCGFP (A.dobe C.reative....). Try saying that five times fast! Making a really rough sculpture of her might help with turn arounds? Spitballing because I’ve never done it.

[@beccarand]

LOL I KNOW - I practice it a few times before I start the video. Considering a transition to rap after this project. I think rendering/sculpture would be hugely helpful for me.
