draw & paint w. me 🍓thistle pen/color pencil drawing & cute frog illustration + reddit story time

Hi friends! Draw some thistle and paint with me! Draw the thistle three different ways, using three different pens/pencils to draw. Also paint a cute frog illustration with me! I’ll be using watercolor and gouache to paint a whimsical and fun illustration painting.
And while the you watch the draw and paint with me I’ll be reading two reddit stories. The first one isn’t my favorite but the second one is pretty funny!

Thank you 😂😂😂 I knew you’d correct me on my pronunciation ❤️😂😂

OMG LUCY!!! Thank you so so so much for doing my request! you are so amazing thank you! Every time I tried to draw thistle I kept trying to draw the tiny little flowers individually and it would look too messy. You are a genius to make the thistle with small marks to imply the shape of the little flowers :D I AM SO EXCTED FOR YOUR NEXT SKETCHBOOK TOUR!!! I can tell its gonna be an absolute banger. Love your froggy lily of the valley dude 8) hype for your prints and store

@@selgoops yayayayyyay I’m so glad you saw it!!! Sometimes just texture and some line work will trick the eye ya know? But I’m so happy it helped! THANK YOU SERIOUSLY FOR YOUR KINDNESS! To be honest I’ve had a shitty past two days so you’ve seriously made my day!

[@selgoops]

@@LucyFitzmaurice Im sorry to hear that, I really hope your days improve. Its hard to make art when shit is happening. Just remember you are an inspiration to many people, and you got this!

[@LucyFitzmaurice]

@@selgoops jeez you’re going to make me cry 🥹 thank you so so much, I can’t tell you seriously how thankful I am for your kindness, support and kind words! I hope you have a great weekend! And if you ever are stumped how to draw or paint something just leave it in the swamp and I’ll take care of it 😂
