Drawing with a Randomized Theme and Setting

[@MagnusMoerkoereJohannesen]

I love how Nathan has two modes: 1) Draw a little friend, and 2) casually toss out a masterpiece.

@@AKindOfDog ​ Yeah, but the otherwise conclusion, I thought, really just was a personal opinion. I can ascribe to any of these characters that they like apples but that doesn't mean I can praise the artist for including apple-lovers in this instance even if they frequently do apple-loving characters. "They" could also be easily used for any gender too, but my question was based on my misunderstanding that they decided a trait and then claimed it to be true without any indication of it. Turns out there was an indication. I just didn't want to preface my short question with an explanation that real people can do whatever they want with gender.

sometimes I listen to drawfee in the background while doing other things, but at ~5 minutes I tabbed back in and I was like oh yeah, I should watch this. I really enjoy watching y'all's process, and especially with the sort of piece Nathan did in this one. Lovely almost collage like flats and then painterly finishing

[@isabelchmontuenga]

Jacobs horror plot is sounding a lot like the Magnus Archives to my untrained ears...

[@zander...k.7968]

It is to my trained ears as well...

[@solarpanel8505]

all TMA fans know TMA is everywhere

Same

Make your statement, face your fears.

[@icarisk7013]

I was about to comment the same thing!!!

[@finpin2622]

The end of this episode w/ them discussing Julia's pieces (all great btw) really made me feel like Drawfee is just the chilliest college class you take with 4 of your best friends except you also get paid for it. Like various assignments due that you peer critique afterwards were honestly my fave part of college, they've just made it even more fun.

Nathan and Jacob both screaming PISS at 20:15 really got me. Especially cause I also shouted PISS as well.

[@christa.mp4]

me too!

I feel like Jacob’s first character is named Jay, the second one is Aria, and the third is Caine. I loved all of these drawings so, so, much!!

[@Carrottastic]

Nathans painting looks, like a promotional shot for the film of the year, Jacob came up with three super intriguing characters for the new hit cartoon (they stole his ability to choose words, but oh well), Julia didn't have time, but had time to finish three incredible pieces with distinct moods and settings and Karina had a good time with her friends.

Okay, with Jacob's Drawing and him by himself going "hey what if uhm encounters with the horrifying unfathomable actually fucked you up and gave you powers", i HAVE to ask again. I posted this a bit before the Finale of TMA, but there's going to be a spinoff so it's again kind of topical: I dream of seeing you guys draw stuff from The Magnus Archives (an AMAZING horror podcast) [If you’re listening to TMA yourself, careful, I might have some spoilers in these]. A lot of the characters are interesting for plot reasons, so I’ll try to pick a few examples for visually interesting ones. Unless you have someone who’s willing to dive into the podcast or knows it to explain a bit about the characters for you, here’s a few that I think could be fun prompts. I tried to make this list long enough to give both an idea of what everything is like and some choice if you want to pick these for each other for lack of someone with knowledge of the podcast. There's so much interesting stuff to say about these characters, but... ya can't really do audio for you guys in the youtube comments, can you? :D - The Monster Pig (it’s a giant Pig. It once ate a man and had to be killed by encasing it in concrete) - Nikola Orsinov. A mannequin come alive to be a ringmaster and dancer in a freaky cursed circus. - The “Werewolf”. A huntsman that is more hunter than human now. He’s described as “everything appeared sharper, his skin, fingers, skin, eyes.” - Jane Prentiss aka The Flesh Hive. She gets possessed/corrupted by a species of white worms that turn her body into a hive. She’s full of holes and worms, basically. Note that she’s still sentient and not part of any kind of hivemind or something, and she loves it. - “The Sandman”, a tall, thin “man” who abducts his victims with some kind of pocket dimension in his puch full of sharp, black sand. One victim escaped by blinding himself with the sand so he wouldn’t see the darkness around him. - Jared Hopworth. I would love to see one of you draw him. Trying to keep it short, Jared became “The Boneturner”, which gave him the power to reshape bones and bodies. Among others, he used that to make his own body really tall and handsome and set up a Gym where he turned people into grotesque creatures. He’s freaky and every episode with Jared messes with Anatomy. - “The Piper”: described like this: no taller than a man and had three faces, one to play its scrimshawed pipes of bone, one to scream its dying death cry and one who did not open its mouth, for when it did blood and sodden soil fell out like a waterfall. Those hands not playing the pipes held an assortment of weapons or held hands up in supplication and one saluted. It wore an olive green wool coat with burnt and scarred skin visible beneath. - Michael aka The Distortion. it appears as a 6.5 foot tall male with long curly straw blonde hair and a round face, or as a human-like being with a thin, limp body with huge, pointed hands that are as large as its torso. Its distorted form is visible if it is viewed through warped glass or in a reflection - Annabelle Cane. described as dressing like “ a vintage clothing store exploded on her“. After the events of MAG 69, one side of her skull is caved in and on subsequent appearances, she has “a mass of white thread criss-crossing all over the side of her temple”.

[@zomb1i3]

YES

[@BNidoking]

@@zomb1i3 dude just imagine Nathan's Monster Pig or Julia's Jared

[@mjamin9124]

honestly just saving this as a personal reference because i always forget who some of them are

[@cinderblock8369]

worm wife

[@BNidoking]

@@mjamin9124 hell yeah :D the freaky creatures get overshadowed by the avatars often, but I think some of these would be a lot more fun to see. That said, I wanna see Julia draw Jared

[@jmurphy0684]

Julia be like, “I need to work quickly. I should do three separate drawings!”

[@BlandoGaming]

And somehow do 3 full drawings in less time then anyone else can do 1.

[@abbyw.2503]

julias final one looks like an optical illusion with the stairs which I think adds to the piece and I just love it sm.
