Kasey Golden MY GOODNESS

[@KaseyTheGolden]

ALSO... I took a sumi-e class when I studied abroad in Japan and we also made our ink. Really interesting!

[@DoodleDate]

I could smell the coffee from here! ohohoho!

[@DoodleDate]

OMG that sounds amazing!!

[@TheAverageArtist]

That made me laugh! Controversial :O I love coffee ._.

[@ikea_bear1791]

You guys should totally have like a paint set, like a doodle date watercolor pan with colors named like “Freddie blue” or “Port Jackson”

[@DoodleDate]

OMG the dreaaaaam!!

[@annabanana7897]

Yoruichi S. And a strange rainbow colour named “ Monty the Great”😂😂😂

[@d0rkx0y0]

or little pencil cases with the prints from their stickers on them

[@elvie2230]

[@savannaharvey8803]

Didn't Adam already try painting with tea?

[@lyssaneedshelp6556]

"Painting with our own ink" honestly sounds like a squid youtuber. Oh also happy pancake dayyyyy

[@perlamedrano3637]

"I need everything else to dry before I do the hedgehog" Steph as she keeps adding water ink to the papers

[@DoodleDate]

IS IT WORKING YET~?!

[@ditto7139]

Aww our little pencil artist is all grown up and moved on to watercolor

[@vanicdraws_2999]

I love watching these and drinking water and painting and then spilling water everywhere fun timez

[@gods_little_potato]

*laughs* the editing on this video just kills me! You guys are such a joy! ❤️❤️

[@DoodleDate]

Aww thanks so much Annah! It really means a lot!

[@lydiarose7569]

Art friends! I have a tip for you! Daniel Smith makes a sample set with a little dot of each color they make. 238 colors! It’s pretty cheap too!

[@DoodleDate]

We have heard of it and it looks amazing!!

[@MaddiB-ww4tr]

Welcome to doodles and tea where you need a beverage to enjoy the full experience

[@DoodleDate]

You gotta stay hydrated!!

[@rafael-6kn3slh]

I love how the reviews are getting more complex each time! xD

[@DoodleDate]

Only the best tea reviews here!!

[@autumnmcgarry1123]

I'm so happy I came across Doodle Date. You guys are so adorable and funny and inspiring! I've been having a lot of trouble with my art style and finding motivation recently and you guys really inspire me to try new things and not be afraid of making mistakes. I'm actually working on finishing an old sketchbook I found today with random doodles, not really trying but just having fun! Your videos always make my day and really motivate me to do more and different kinds of art.

[@missingtheforestforthetrees]

I have unorganized art jars, and I just carry them along to wherever I'm going to do art. I have one that holds marker supplies, so copics, a pencil, eraser, sharpener and multiliners. You could do that so all of your brush pens and stuff are in large jars. Yogurt containers (the large ones) are perfect for this.

[@lilianamontes4444]

I once bought walnut ink at a renaissance festival!!

[@DoodleDate]

That sounds so wonderful!!

[@berkleypearl2363]

I’m loving Steph’s doodle. It just makes me so happy! I can’t explain it. Something about her doodle today just brings me so much joy! Yours is nice too The Boy

[@bloodyshadow2013]

It is impossible to not make a cup of tea when I see a notification to your videos!

[@DoodleDate]

Aww this makes us so happy! :D

[@emilycastorena6580]

The way Adam says "Calm your biscuits" was so cute and adorable and it was my favorite line

[@yoshiberry1998]

i never comment bc i have too much to say, but -- i love the outcomes of both of your works in this video! steph - im so proud of your masking fluid victory! i get the feeling of a warm, misty morning with the soft inkwash in the background adam - you've come so far in your inking AND watercolor journey!! your style has been developing very smoothly too keep up the experimenting guys!

[@andysartz]

Adam being proud of Steph is the purest thing I've ever seen, I love it! ❤️

[@Sofia-mb8uy]

Doodle Date culture is raising your brightness all the way up to see Steph's sketch. Also cute pooches, all the time.

[@Cookie-ny2bt]

I live in Norway so yeah it’s VERY cold here.... there is like at least 20 cm snow at the edge of the capital

[@DoodleDate]

You guys are so lucky with your snow!!

[@ReptarsaurusRex]

clouds are my favorite. I dislike sunny weather, cloudy weather is where I'm at ☁☁☁

[@milkteamachine]

The sound of Steph grinding the ink was soo soothing, I'm definitely relaxed after watching this.

[@bozobones8750]

HAPPY TUESDAY! I'm sorry I haven't been posting comments lately, I've been sick the past few uploads and I've missed them. But I hope everybody else is feeling happy and well!! Sleep well, stay positive and stay hydrated!

[@DoodleDate]

Stay safe and well Fawkes!!

[@rain4cast]

never clicked on a video so fast and im already entertained

[@DoodleDate]

Haha thanks so much Sammy! We're so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@SailorMoonieKitty]

When I’m having a hard day or I’m in a scary and emotional situation, I just hide and watch one of your videos. It helps so much❤️

[@hatorigirl1202]

Brightly colored stickers would probably be a start for not losing art supplies

[@deborahwhatford9831]

The masking eraser you're talking about Steph is a must. It takes off all the residue.

[@victoriaboyadjieva8535]

Guys I want to thank you for being so inspiring and bringing a smile to my face when I watch your videos! P.S my pomeranian puppy loves you too!!😁 (he likes watching your videos) and howling😀

[@DoodleDate]

D'aww this makes us so happy! Thank you so much Victoria!

[@ZOOPXOWO]

INK INK INK INK INK TIMEEE!

[@DoodleDate]

Gettin' inky with it

[@lychiwee3299]

British weather~ shopping in the high street in lovely sunshine and only a little cold . Went into a shop for literally 5 minutes and it was hailing ( pea sized and very painful) and it was freezing! The joy of living in GB

[@psycicflower]

Super late but I just had to comment and say how much I adore Steph's picture in this. It would make such a gorgeous little print.

[@maxnicholls7660]

Adam and Steph you guys always put a smile on my face!! :-)

[@DoodleDate]

This makes us so happy too!! :D

[@Irishwhatever4]

To organize art supplies, maybe use one of those shoe organizers you hang on the back of doors?

[@CoralineXVermin]

The masking fluid is really fun to use once you get the hang of it. You just wait for everything to finish drying then lightly rub it out with something like your finger or even an eraser. I've learned that it only tears the paper if you leave it for prolonged periods of time.

[@aprilbrown8081]

The masking fluid tool is a rubber cement pickup. It’s like a rubbery square and it works fantastically for removing the fluid. You should also check out the Molotow masking fluid marker.

[@goosegamer1394]

My parents think I’m insane because every time I watch on of your videos I sit laughing in the corner. You guys are so funny and I love your art

[@DoodleDate]

HAHA aww thank you so much! It really means a lot!

[@BlueHospitality]

i'm enamoured with all these INTENTIONAL COOL EFFECTS

[@XouMuse]

I have so many things to put my art supplies in! I have the pencil case I take everywhere, that contains most of my sketching, inking and coloring pens, but I also got a shoe box in my library that coutains my inks, paints, all the different glues I own, as well as glitter. I think a box is a good way to keep track of art supplies, but I still have two drawers full of stuff on my desk XD

[@melih4987]

Living dangerously through your art! Steph and Adam, as they journey through the art world.

[@PlabsUnderscore]

"If it's made out of burnt trees It WOOD make sense" OH Adam you comedic genius!

[@Cilibi]

It's the first day of the new semester today for me, no better way to start the day than Doodles and Tea :D

[@mac5734]

What's your favorite tea? Mine's peppermint tea and camomile tea at the moment~

[@DoodleDate]

Peppermint is so gooooood!!

[@artsymonarch9611]

Awkward Doll I like the bigelow sleepy time tea. It has mint and chamomile in it as well as orange and rose and a few other things. SO GOOD

[@rheabruen]

i love steph's lil drawing it's so so cute!!!

[@xrockyx1806]

TEA REVIEW it's fruity

[@DoodleDate]

Fruitalicious!

[@aurora5481]

YOU'RE WELCOME

[@paulangus6298]

I do Japanese calligraphy and grinding your ink is so theraputic. It's best to use very little water, pressure or speed and just slowly, lightly move the stick in a circle until you get the desired consistency. I imagine for sumi-e painting it needs to be a bit more watery, but for calligraphy you want a nice thick dark ink.

[@AtomicJava]

Always here for the intentional cool effects

[@PinkSakuraFlower1]

With the ink stick, I found it to be more effective of placing the stick near the pool of water and move it with an up and down movement.

[@lucyenneking3781]

I'm in love with steph's hedgehog!!! 😍❤💕💕

[@Walboro]

Almost all of the inktober pictures I did in 2016 were using my own made ink. It makes it extremely easy to get almost any shade of grey you need. I also suggest using rice paper as that was essentially designed to be used with sumi ink. For the times I couldn’t be bothered to make it with an ink stick like you guys did, I used a brand called YiDeGe.

[@AprilJF]

I tend to attach supplies via Washi tape to the front cover of a pad of paper or a sketch book. I have my wacom tablet pen taped on the backside of the tablet. Washi tape doesn't leave sticky residue, so whatever it's stuck to does stay clean.

[@kaitergirl01]

What a cute little hedgehog! 😊

[@HallowDirge]

It's warm here in Florida and thanks for the impromptu background Adam it gave me a stroke of inspiration for my own piece!🤔 Steph the masking fluid remover is rubber so the dry fluid sticks to it and pulls away from the paper!😊

[@Gantorin]

Adam I really like how yours came out... It looks like a manga... Nicely done, and I like your painting technique.

[@stephaniesauerberg4715]

We got snow all weekend and yesterday, it was about 12°F and today it was 60°F. I live in Northern Colorado, the weather has been pretty varied.

[@sw3022]

*-W A T E R C O L O R Y-* paper. Adams so descriptive.

[@kittycatfluffy]

I just have all of my art things stashed in a set of drawers, it’s like a small one that is just for desks. I keep all of my brushes in it and my paints. I also have some of my crafty things in it too so I know where they are.

[@monikasturm2575]

I love painting cherry blossoms, koi, cranes, and bamboo, in black watercolor, so I just bought a chinese caligraphy set and rice parchment. I can't wait until it arrives. It's so awesome you two did this too. BTW Steph, I love masking fluid, since white is hard to get back when you go over a space with color.

[@zlothika]

I always lose my tablet pen, and pretty much every other pen too lol. I found keeping what I want to lose the least just in the spiral part of a spiral bound sketchbook was the best way for me to not lose it. Hope that helps Steph a bit 👍

[@callamoreau686]

I would love to see you guys use the Art N Wash pencils. It would combine Adam's love of pencils and watercolor.

[@wowieee09090]

I love this series! It's so fun to draw along and listen to both of them

[@Leepheon]

I really like the way Adam shaded the clothes!

[@DoodleDate]

Thank you so much!

[@wisamabughoush5746]

Adam growing is sooo professional

[@patticakescreates2795]

SO these turned out super cute. Love you guys you two are always so fun and inspiring!

[@rhian8238]

Hedgehog pets are a thing in England! I’m Welsh (but know of English people with them) and have 2 pet African Pygmy hedgehogs! They are so cute, and can be very loving (or very grumpy) Also I love using ink to draw, but it’s been ages since I’ve done it!

[@savannahlavallee]

It's actually been so nice and "warmish" considering the misarable winter we've had in Toronto 🇨🇦

[@cyg0re]

YES!! Watching this while getting ready for school💕

[@DoodleDate]

We hope you have a wonderful day!!

[@LukeyLovegood]

I really enjoy this series!!! Super chill!! For me its Doodles and Water since I need to cut back on caffeine! lol

[@kestopiagaming8697]

I can't help but feel really inspired after watching these videos and I have to start drawing!

[@AB-kt8qq]

I know very tiny plastic 3 draw units. Some come with top compartments. I put my pencils, pens, copics, erasers and small scissors in there along with my inks on top. They're really convient in doors.

[@lemonynose]

Ooh! Both your pieces are so beautiful :) I love Steph’s picture, the plants look like a Georgia o’keefe print :):)

[@fyretrail8973]

Yay! I just bought some lemon tea, so I get to drink tea!

[@galaxy_mooncat779]

once again an awesome video from Adam and Steph

[@Crynoelle]

I used to make the ink for Chinese calligraphy! It's quite nice to make your own ink :D

[@HollilyPip]

My grandma got a large box for christmas that I shove everything in so I can find, I also have a set of drawers that is used for art supplies only.

[@peppermintcutie5327]

I have actually used a caligraphy ink set before. You can also use the ink stick while its still wet to create some cool effects. It almost looks like charcoal I think.

[@cryptidrat1759]

Its -0 and below every morning it’s freezing here! (Love your guys’ videos I can’t stop watching you now!)

[@havenskylarvincent7928]

I did a greyscale drawing yesterday with ink watching a doodledate stream! I use black india ink and water it down in my palette

[@jaspirita]

I painted a picture with sumi ink back in high school, twas a cover of Mice and Men. I do not have it anymore, unfortunately. Considering that was 16 years ago (omg I'm so old!), I'd be surprised if it still exists.

[@hansendesigns]

Molotow makes masking fluid in a marker form and it works really good. The better the paper you use the less likely the masking fluid will rip it. The masking fluid remover is probably a rubber square I have a rubber square that is a rubber cement remover and it works great for removing masking fluid. If you really like to work in Ink, waterbruses are one tool but if you got a really pointy sable or even a soft synthetic brush they are fun to make some details with -they even sell some nice wash brushes to get a nice even wash. :)

[@GalaxyChloe]

I live in south Wales and it has been raining and snowing a lot and so I had no school last Friday cause it was dangerous for busses to go up the hill and so it's quite funny. I say that it's all the snow we haven't gotten from past winters.

[@hiltsyartnstuff1142]

I keep the bushes and pens I'm using at the moment in a couple of coffee cups. But I don't really have a lot of supplies, I like to keep it relatively simple (though I have also started to get addicted to watercolor... so that is starting to change lol)

[@Jaaaannnneeee]

It’s really cold where I live! -21 Celsius. Also inks are so fun to use

[@maggiettu]

This is so cool! I’ve been using this ink for my traditional pieces as well! I really enjoy watching you guys use watercolours and FOOD! ( painting with apple or orange juice? 🍎🍊🍏)

[@abriel9420]

My sister is getting a hedgehog for Valentine’s Day from her boyfriend! I’m excited to see her reaction when she gets him 😁

[@itsjustMeen]

ART FRIENDSSSSS! YAY SOME INK ACTION~ ❤

[@DoodleDate]

We hope you enjoy the video Jazmeen!!

[@gigglegal1988]

For a really inexpensive pencil or pen holder use a toilet paper roll and glue it to a tile or a small piece of scrap wood. Then you can put it anywhere and even paint or decorate so that you want to use it more!

[@vanisal]

I've actually used this yesterday in my art for the 1st time, so it's such a coincidence you uploaded a video about it today.

[@vanisal]

If you see this.. I love you guys, your videos always make me laugh...Thank you!

[@Feldi]

Thumbs up, if you're also struggling with opening Childproof bottles. Never lose your inner child :P

[@cassieketcham2664]

its actually warming up thank god lol. but I have used those ink sticks and I have found if you use little water and grind for a while it gets more opaque

[@t.watson0407]

Ah I love this series sadly you post while I’m at school but when I get back I always watch your videos!! 💕

[@elliem1488]

Adams drawings are so good!!! Xxx

[@darlenesmith515]

You both did a great job using a new medium!

[@RottingRootsArts]

I actually have some sumi ink sticks that I was to scared to use and after watching you guys use yours I really want to to give mine a go now. I'll have to try to share it on here or instagram when I do, may wait till my watercolor brush tubes come in the mail though and while watching I was inking some cute little drawings for a pocket letter I'm sending to a friend of mine

[@_Syosuzuki0609_]

You guys are so good at everything that you do!!you guys are king and queen 👑 💕

[@LauraHoiberg]

You can use bright colored washi tape or duct tape around the top of the liner and make a tab-like piece at the end

[@SoccerChinchilla15]

I just got home and now I have to make some Mojito tea to go along with this

[@DoodleDate]

That sounds a m a z i n g !!
