DIDN’T EXPECT THIS IN AN ART BOX - ScrawlrBox Mystery Supplies Art Challenge

[@littlebarakitty5199]

I love how your hero is your cat. It’s so pure.

[@thiagolian8201]

A tip : you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.

[@briarashton4388]

@Thiago Lian Definitely, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself =)

[@juliehowman3912]

You’ve really captured the essence of Sally, and there really is no better hero

[@janfields4816]

She looks so pet-able in the drawing. Lovely.

[@alkervah8028]

I totally understand your cat being your hero. I live alone and before quarantine all my social interaction came from my classes and work. Well classes were cancelled and I lost my job so now it is just me and my cat alone and having her to play, cuddle, and talk with has been a major help keeping myself somewhat mentally and emotionally healthy these last few months.

[@sarahquilt6687]

I love the fact that you said your cat approves of your artwork because she didn't sneeze on it.

[@lexcrane5097]

My cats are definitely my heroes too. My sweet little babies are my whole world and I honestly dont know what I would do without them

[@erinfager2072]

My heroes are my guinea pigs lol

[@rubyraven5166]

Same, my kittys are like my children. :3

[@catrinabush1530]

I love the portrait of Sally! She looks so beautiful. I adore her so much that every time I hear her theme music, I get excited for cat intermission!

[@leppardess]

Katvalk: I could go on and on about my cat.... Me: *sits at attention with ears open* There's nothing wrong with having an animal as a hero at all.

[@spacequeen1447]

That's true... that is true

[@allgirlreview433]

I honestly started tearing up.

[@roohamali2035]

I started watching your videos recently and honestly I think you're one of the most artistic people out here on KZbin. I love your style and the way you use the art supplies. Much love.❤️❤️

[@lila2793]

I watched my first KattValk video awhile ago but had of late (quarantine) I’ve watched almost all of her cuties and Kiev them

[@roohamali2035]

@@lila2793 yes now i've watched her videos from 2 years ago. love her style.

[@dewdropart4180]

Q-tips are definitely in my essential art supplies! I love using them for blending pastel/pencil or even with acrylic paint if I'm going for a more impressionistic style. Loved the video

[@Vila_Freyphen]

I wish I could use them, but I HATE SO MUCH when they scratch the paper, it gives me chills and is so uncomfortable :( I have to use my fingers

[@VioletGlitterworks]

Timmy Try using a Chamois for blending. Blending with my fingers bugs me like you with the q-tips so an artists chamois is a good alternative. Wrapped over your finger for a large area or wrapped over the eraser end of a pencil for finer details. 👍🏻

[@lila2793]

I hate using Q-tips to blend

[@Schaly]

I was soooo happy to see a charcoal-themed box this month. I haven't touched charcoal in I think 10 years now, and I remember really loving it. So when the box came I was super into it. I love the willow charcoal. It's so delicate and smooth to work with. Your picture of Sally came out really great. I love how you utilized the mid-toned paper and white chalk pencil. It pops so well and you captured the emotion of the face wonderfully. Also really happy to see your gouache piece in the zine! I really loved that one.

[@trincrymsyn6383]

Aww I loved hearing about Sally!! I'm so happy to hear she's a sweet kitty! We have 3 kitties all with hero traits ! Loki is the art approver like Sally comes and checks up on me ..and if I'm ever crying he will come up and gently paw my face❤ hella a recent rescue comes and sits with me at night so I'm not alone.. and gabe will sleep on my head keeping the monsters away with the most epic purr! But also comes and flops on me to say good morning while I'm drinking my coffee hahha .

[@IHeartGallery]

What an incredible portrait!!! Amazing detail, Sally looks perfect! I loved hearing you gush about her honestly, really reminded me of my love for my kitty cat. I miss her. I love seeing how gentle you are when Sally walks on your work lol you always put your hands up to guard but never actually push her away ❤️❤️❤️🌈😸

[@AnotherMADCreation]

Our pets are little heroes. They are service animals, they keep us connected to the here and now, they give us joy and focus, and they love us with their whole furry beings! Love the pic and sally is so cute, I always want to kiss her little face when she shows up.

[@normj14]

Wow i love both the flower and sally ... I wish im that talented at art

[@bdbear10]

I love the portrait of Sally! It's amazingly realistic! And I love my 6 cats SOOOOO much! Like you said, they keep me sane when I am home all the time, often alone.

[@thecathooman333]

Looks super cute. Cats are a necessary part of life :3

[@ChiliCatCreates]

If you squint just the TINIEST bit or take a look at the drawing for a few seconds - it looks like you turned the photograph black n white. It looks that accurate to me... Incredible. Also I caught all the feels when you were talking about how much you love Sally QwQ 💖

[@muskndusk]

That's a beautiful portrait of Sally. Cats are very important, they help to keep us sane, especially during hard times.

[@anitadavidson1266]

Sally is very much a star and hero combined. I have a cat, Lily who helps stave off loneliness. Your drawing was beautiful Marie. 🌈❤️

[@joannahigginsartenchantres1902]

Sally is a perfect hero! And I have to agree that toned paper is luscious to draw on. ♥

[@ChrissieNicely]

Oh, when I saw the charcoal and chalk pencils I remembered how much you hated it! It's great that you are able to use it without problems now. I love using pastels as it is a medium that somehow makes me get over my perfectionism. You enjoyed it, too, and that's why Sally came out beautifully! 🐱 The blender pencil is for colour pencils, I think. I have never seen a blender pencil used for chalk pencils.

[@sarahmallonee]

Sally is wonderful and the way you speak of her is so heartwarming and wholesome its awesome you found each other

[@גלעדסוירזנסקי]

The drawing of Sally looks AMAZING. I loved seeing you work with something you are not so familiar and comfortable with and making it work so beautifully.

[@orange_light_pictures]

Go Sally... Go Sally.. Go Sally. All you need to do now is draw the opposite end, like when our Kat says nite at bed time lol.

[@alessiaagazzi8605]

3:25 fun fact, "gioconda" is another italian name for the mona lisa! it's an older word for "happy" and it refers to her smile

[@101Tmon]

Sally reminds me of my husband's childhood cat Missy. Sweet and comforting. The portrait of Sally is really beautiful. You did such a wonderful job.

[@taylorcunningham2262]

My kitties are definitely my heroes as well! I’m 36 weeks pregnant and my husband works nights so if they weren’t here to crawl onto my belly and keep me company, id probably go insane lol.

[@ginasartcorner5686]

The two drawings turned out so so well and having your pet as one of your heroes is amazing :) they can be small heroes for sure :)

[@liesbethartlife]

Such a beautiful artwork of Sally & such sweets words about her ! My Cat (also a Tiger cat) is also my hero, to keep me alive and helps me get through the day

[@ludwigSamo]

i love to listen to you talking while watching you draw, its so calm.. ive been your fan for 3 years now and i loove how you improved, you are truly an amazing artist and person

[@a23little]

I totally 100% understand how you feel about Sally because I absolutely feel the same way about my cat! Some people may not understand it but those of us that do, it's the best, isn't it! Always enjoy watching your videos, first time commenting though. Cat love just gets me! 😹

[@nightmarefanatic1819]

I've never met you or Sally but, uh, I would die for her. Also Sally is the best name because it was my mom's name.

[@bkitteh6295]

💟

[@art_addict501]

The drawing of sally makes me wanna pick up my abandoned chalks and pastels and try to draw my cat😅

[@tez-cat529]

Absolutely love your portrait of Sally ♥ gorgeous work and so expressive

[@cutepumpkin4744]

I love when you talked about Sally. So sweet! ❤️

[@stiiinkyray]

such a nice message here, a hero isn't always someone who does one big thing- but someone who does a little every day! Sally turned out so beautiful, I love her relaxed face! :D

[@Aandy4911]

"I've never worked with charcoal before" * 3 minutes later *: * Masterpiece in charcoal *

[@reppeplucw]

What an absolutely beautiful portrait of Sally. You make me envious of your art skill/talent. Thanks for all you share!

[@Sentariana]

Your peony is super pretty! I love it! These are some of my favourite art supplies. I love pastels and charcoals so much! And you said it right the first time, pee-oh-ny. Your portrait of Sally is gorgeous! Love it! It is so sweet that she's you hero and you certainly gave her a hero's drawing! (You said sepia right the second time - s-eh-pee-yah.)

[@sarahjacoux]

I work at home too and same, I never feel alone thanks to my baby cat ❤

[@CookieScrat]

I find it so heartwarming to hear you talk about your love for Sally

[@nettynoodles8368]

Awwwww I love Sally 😍😍 I also love your art, the picture you have made of Sally is stunning 😍😍🐾💜 xxx

[@noradennis4361]

A beautiful portrait of Sally and your flower was beautiful as well.

[@ranjeetakaur3219]

Your shading is perfect.👌💖👌

[@Furaichiruzu]

Awww such cute Sally art! It looks real good on the grey paper 💕

[@chinchillamdgamer]

You can tell she's an amazing artists because her cartoons are original creations and look like cartoons. On the other hand her realistic portraits are very very realistic and well made. That versatility is hard to get even for professional artists.

[@NikkitaPullen]

I agree about animals being hero’s. I have two service dogs that literally change my life every day. They were the reason I started documenting my life, but now they are what keeps me going on the daily as someone at home alone most days (excluding my toddler). Not much adult convo there 😂

[@creationsbylyzz786]

Your flower was very pretty and love that that you started with that to practice the highlights and lowlights. And oh my goodness of course i loved sally’s portrait and i fully understand about cat love... we had one furbaby that has passed away i miss that kitty so much and had so much love for her she was my feline companion and for me i cant have children and my husband recently said no more animals it makes my love for animals even stronger! I am totally a crazy cat lady... without cats :(

[@HeartSpare]

I don't usually comment on videos, but this video totally made my day! I absolutely loved hearing about your cats and all the stories you had of Sally, its super cute how much you clearly love her and you totally inspired me to draw today! So thank you, keep doing what you're doing because you make a big difference 🥰 💕

[@memmermiller]

Weird how these materials made you go more realistic and lineless. Really impressed with your results!

[@doodleyournoodles675]

I love these art supplies! My favourite picture you drew was the one with your cat Sally. She is so cute!😆😍💕❤

[@irismarie9992]

I never really see you do much realistic art and you should do more you are talented and I love what you did here.

[@malin9277]

I always notice that when you‘re referring to the featured artist you use gender neutral pronouns and I really love that about you! The eraser pen from Faber-Castell is actually amazing, I use it all the time. And I can totally understand why Sally is your hero! My cat Sally is the same to me

[@antaressky]

i actually really liked the peony! i love, love, love your art and am so excited about every new video ❤️

[@aines_world1614]

I like how you got the weird bend in the wrist

[@kitsunethefeytouched]

I really like both pictures.

[@N_0968]

I love your art and your cat. Both drawings are so beautiful!

[@LunaBianca1805]

You can use that eraser pencil with ink fineliners at least on transparent paper. That white end really rubs off ink like the blue end on those red and blue erasers but it roughs up the paper which you can smooth back down with the reddish end :3

[@lyssasletters3232]

Amazing artwork! Yes, animals are the best!!!!

[@books.withbree7113]

Finally someone did the box for may!! I was having a super hard time with it!

[@jenajinx]

Love the drawing of Sally, so sweet!

[@melindarivera6598]

Wow! That is amazing!! You are such a great artist! I so aspire to be even a fraction as good as you are.

[@jadedmist]

While my favorite flowers are Orchids and white roses, I love drawing peonies there are many varations to the flower. Its just a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and they are some of the easist for me wise of realism in my flower art.

[@themidgeling]

This came out so beautifully! Sally is so pretty.

[@andreasmith1259]

Sally turned out great!

[@jacklynhiler649]

OMGSH!! You are seriously such an amazing artist! I checked out your online shop, and WOW!! I just love your styles of drawing, you are so very talented! I have always wanted to be able to draw but unfortunately I am horrible at it and havent even tried in years. But seeing your art today has really sparked some inspiration in me, and I thank you for that! 🙏

[@Ella-dd8pi]

I’m impatiently waiting for my scrawlr box!!! Ahhh 😱

[@cucumberwater7738]

Sally is just so cute :D i would love to draw her but i need more practise for me to be happy with the result

[@sj.michele]

I'd love to see you make playful art pieces of the cats from Kittisaurus' channel. Sally would probably become best buds with Lulu if they had play dates.

[@jessiefriend9047]

I love hearing abt sally shes so cute

[@squishmittenAO3]

Sally is gorgeous, as is the drawing of her 😻

[@minette36]

13:19 cross-eyed/wall-eyed? ...yt made you censor that?

[@EdslilNeko]

I'm guessing she said "cock-eyed". Still a silly thing to censor but that would be the only thing I could think of that she could have said that could have required censoring.

[@minette36]

@@EdslilNeko Oooooh okay, that makes sense!! thank you!

[@awirt7354]

I was so confused. Lol thanks for clearing that up

[@PumpkinPails]

Sally is the blocky headed, mooshy hero we all deserve.

[@lynettecrosby1205]

I Love Your Art. I am Grateful, Thank You.

[@Kyamusuku]

The flower turned out very well!

[@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

Beautiful peony! My Eskies are my heroes

[@lila2793]

My cat is my hero. She’s my favorite person on the planet and when I draw and paint she sleeps next to my work or curls up on my lap

[@LePetitChatNoir79]

Wow, those drawings are amazing. Absolutely gorgeous. My cats are my heroes too. I lost my Lucy last year and couldn’t function for months afterwards. Then I just lost my Tiki less than a month ago. It’s been rough.

[@rachelthompson7487]

Your cat is so cute 😍 I want to use some grey scale paper one day.

[@MPetrovich23]

I totally agree with you about our pets being our heroes when we spend all day with them. I’m sort of in a similar situation as you are but not exactly I’m at home because I’m a Chronic Pain patient and an Artist. I can’t work outside of my home cause it’s just not something I’m able to do anymore (and it SUCKS, I miss the human contact with people! ) we had a German Shepherd she lived 17years she passed this March I spent every single day with her except when we were on vacation (she went on her own vacation to a puppy spa it was really nice she was spoiled!!!). So when we lost her I lost a part of me . It was like I lost a part of my artistic muse she was always in my studio under my table. So I know exactly what your saying about Sally. I loved both of your pictures. The one of Sally came out beautifully because of the midtone papers do the charcoal they just work so wonderfully together. The peony you drew also came out very nice . You’re to hard on yourself cause it’s your artwork but it is beautiful and very nicely done. It’s funny I never drew my dog because by the time I was good enough to draw her I worried it would be the last picture I’d draw of her so I never drew her & now, I’m not emotionally ready to draw the memorial picture of her to put in a frame near her ashes with her collar in my studio or family room (we haven’t decided where we’re putting her) we got a puppy who likes to inspect everything!

[@IcePandaHero]

Have you considered doing a painting with sally? They make animal safe ink that is water based and you can take their paw prints and dip them in the ink and make art with them!

[@jadethegamermc]

That is beautiful katt

[@tanniroikier8650]

You are to hard to yourself❣️ if I had made that flower, I would be proud of me self, even more if it was the first time using the supplies this way😊

[@katlynthompson1356]

Beautiful!

[@bkitteh6295]

Amazingly beautiful as always❣ You had the right name for the flower too, but there are several ways to pronounce it. (Probably why you weren't exactly sure; you've heard it lots of different ways.) In my little part of the world we say pee-ah-nee, which can sound distressingly like "pee on me." 🤭 Sally & her portrait are exquisite❣ 🐈 Take good care of her, yourself, the boyfriend, & everyone else; be safe, happy, & well. So many warm thoughts coming your way from Seattle! 😷🖐

[@lucymiau5700]

Cats are simply the best.

[@VaguelyPeach]

Sally is a great name for a cat

[@pauberrocal]

Lovely!

[@dadsgirl99pr]

Gris is also grey in Spanish!

[@Aimz360]

I was unsure what to do as well so I always start literally like "what is carbon" or with the charcoal "what is charcoal", then from there i decided to do an Australian firefighter as a paying tribute.

[@Gothikah]

OMG i love it!

[@Cornsnake94]

Really amazing art^^ My heroes are the team of doctors who got away my brain tumor without any problems as a result of the operation. I mean, brain OPs are quite risky, but they did it... my epilepsy is completely gone. And my "private" hero is my snake Chili, she is really nice and can be funny, yes, a snake can be cute too :) Oh and this video inspired me to try out charcoal ^^

[@azzuparis]

Sally is too cute 😻 I have the same blender pencil and I really don't know how to use it. I tried it on colored pencils and it doesn't blend at all. Maybe I'm using it the wrong way. Pretty useless to me. Your drawing are beautiful 💕

[@AlexaFaie]

It could be due to the type of pencil its being used with. You know like how some pencil crayons are waxy and some are not? It could just be a mismatch due to the base make up of it.

[@zephyrus3602]

I would probably go crazy without my sweet kitties in this time and cats can do wonders for this world
