Drawing Digimon Based Only on Their Original Sprites

“I have altered reality.” “What?” “Pray I don’t alter it further.” “…what?”

[@conlinbuttermann8803]

[@markrs25]

Drawing suggestion: draw each other into an isekai. Example- Nathan is king of dinosaurs in a prehistoric world; Karina uses a Digimon deck in a YuGiOh-esque dimension; Julia is a Drawtective in an isekai full of vampires; and Jacob is the leader of a bunch of little guys rebelling against hot villains.

I would love to see a "Julia tries to be predictable" episode because I think that would be insane

[@MuriKakari]

Sonic with the Bobby Hill face?

[@Deadflower019]

The only way she'd be able to manage this would be explicitly trying to quote movies and songs that the rest of the Drawfee team knows... but like she'd probably fuck up and quote some obscure shit which only she knows, ruining the episode. So I don't think it's actually possible for her.

[@venomouskoala0690]

Julia making death threats and Jacob making “dig” puns is the best way to start an episode

[@Actiondanny]

"You'll have a hat in hell" is chilling.

[@cryinward]

julia's little offended 'what the hell' always gets me

[@rafaelo.l.2235]

Loved that bit about the ways the frog from Nathan's drawing could breathe while being choked and Julia saying that he breathes through it's skin like that isn't exactly what frogs do in real life ☠

[@VerbalLearning]

The first sprite reads to me like if the dog in the suit of armor from Undertale jumped into a Blastoise Shell and the "gun" is one of Blastoise's shoulder cannons.

[@ConnorGrummer]

I also thought it's very Greater Dog with a Gun

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

It also reads to me as having Blastoise elements, but I somehow subconsciously knew it was Vikemon. Perhaps it's because Blastoise and Vikemon were both my favorite mons from the first series.

[@shawnaeatscats]

That's EXACTLY what I saw at first too, and I realized what digimon it was a few moments later, so when Julia was like "seal with a gun" I was like "how tf did she get it in one" it's a (sorta) seal with weapons

[@oliviagrutzius9624]

I was thinking that it looked like the Annoying Dog holding a gun. 🤣

I thought Jacob’s digimon looked like a little Toad wearing a pool float around his waist and the “wings” are both arms over to the right

Most frogs actually have semi-permeable skin that can absorb oxygen. Some have even don’t have lungs, and solely breath through their skin. So our inspector is hopefully one of those 😅

[@nosysprat6170]

I can't believe they didn't acknowledged Julia's "that seals it" joke

[@Fennec333]

I’d love to see the opposite of this where the gang has to turn popular characters into sprites with extremely limited pixels

[@Lyddy-Draws]

I love that Karina immediately shut down Jacob’s attempt to joke around but loved Julia’s

[@AshtonMonitor]

I mean, Julia put quite a bit of thought into it, so I could see why.

[@WilliamFancyFace]

The best part of every episode is when everyone goes on a comedy bit while Julia draws more heinous depictions in the background

[@MegaMoist]

I love when Karina brings in the digimon. Digimon has some of the most wild designs.

[@marsicorn]

When Julia started drawing a halo I was SURE she's drawing a frisbee smashing into a skull of a squirrel sideways

[@KenadianKenough]

Somehow that is entirely something she could’ve made, and I love that for us

[@salty_slug]

i though it'd be a silly hat XD

[@happyjellycatsquid]

I thought it was a halo, but then try to guess something else because “C’mon that would be too predictable for Julia” I thought 😆

[@matheusbenck4353]

i love how julia always starts her drawings with such confidence, but also makes me scared

[@Japanthewoman]

Julia's hatred for Soulmon and her joking but serious tone towards Karina is so funny to me.

[@greencoloredstar]

My comment will probably get lost, but I just wanted to thank you guys for reigniting my artistic spark. I had left that part of me behind after being told I would never make it as an artist. Then came a career I don't like, marriage, and kids. I haven't started drawing again yet, but you certainly inspire me to start with every video of yours that I watch. ❤️

[@mparis130]

I started watching Drawfee videos at the start of the pandemic and they inspired me to buy an iPad and start drawing... best thing I ever did. I'm better now that I ever thought I would be and I've started finding my own style and niche, and it feels great. Please start drawing again soon!!

[@greencoloredstar]

@@mparis130 thank you for the encouragement.❤️ I'm so happy for you!

[@madyak2108]

You got this. I believe you can make the art you want to make. Keep drawing, even if they're just goofy lil doodles just for yourself. Take a large piece of paper and fold it up so it fits in your pocket. Whenever you're waiting for something and you have maybe 30 mins before it starts, start doodling on one of the sides of the paper, filling it as much as you can in those 30 mins or less. Then flip to the next blank face and do it again. When all the sides are done, you can unfold the paper and either keep it that way or turn it into one large, cohesive piece. The idea is that no matter what you do to it, you're still drawing/creating with very little pressure.

[@greencoloredstar]

@@madyak2108 excellent idea! Thank you for taking the time to share ❤️❤️❤️

[@MajoraZ]

In one of Digimon's many odd naming decisions, JewelBeemon is not actually a Bee: It's meant to be short for Beetle, as it's based on iridescent Jewel Beetles. While Digimon don't have singular canon evolution lines, he was designed to exist as the perfect/ultimate stage for Stingmon, sort of a kamen rider ninja beetle-man (and I say "perfect/ultimate stage", because what's called the perfect stage in JP is ultimate in the dub, but then the next stage is known as ultimate in JP and mega in the dub, yet another example of baffling naming conventions to where the same word is used for two different things based on your localization)

[@astrealove1]

I think it's fitting that Nathan got Vikemon, since it evolves from Gomamon, that would totally be his partner Digimon.

Is Nathan’s drawing holding the Ribbit Ranger’s son hostage?

16:28 Actually, there is a level beyond Mega called "Ultra", though they are a special case and don't appear naturally. They include Digimon inspired by digital extinction events like Armageddemon, Apocalymon, ZeedMilleniummon, Arcadiamon (Mega), and MaloMyotismon, as well as fusions of certain mega-level digimon like Omnimon, GraceNovamon, and Susanoomon, and more powerful versions of certain mega-level digimon like Imperialdramonn Paladin Mode, UlforceVeedramon Future Mode, Gallantmon Crimson Mode, and ShineGreymon Burst Mode.
