Drawing a Secret Santa Gift for

[@DoodleDate]

THANK YOU SO MUCH KATELYN!!! This was such a wonderful surprise to receive in the mail, we appreciate all the little details about us that you included in the art piece 😭 Also the capybara on the packaging you drew was great, I took a photo and included it in our video hehe :) Can't wait for you to see our video reaction on Sunday

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

I am so happy you liked your gift! It was so hard keeping it to myself and waiting for it to arrive hahah I just wanted to show you right away! I am also glad you liked the little extra capybara on the package :) and right! I was so surprised to get a full framed piece! That was so nice of her

[@aussiecrafter]

I wondered how the artist that had to make art for Steph and Adam would go. Your skills absolutely killed this and you have made them something so frigging amazing! ❤

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

Thank you so much! I really wanted to make something cool for them and I was excited to incorporate both of them!

[@SoCraftastic]

You created such a beautiful piece!! ❤ I love the characters. The highlights & shadows made the cozy vibes even cozier!

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

Thank you so much!

[@JayofallTrades]

A really cute adorable digital drawing. Doodle date was one of the first artists creators that started me sown a rabbit hole of finding other artists like yourself cuz of collabs like this. I love the lighting from the fire how they're backlit and bright but even with Shadows they glow.

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

Thank you! 💖 I love Doodle Date's videos and they are both wonderful people! So I was so happy when I was assigned them for this project!

[@VisualMind]

I love how people got paired up and the fact that you both created and received a digital animal piece, sooo fitting! Katelyn your depiction of Steph and Adam is chefs kiss! I absolutely LOVE what you did there, so hilarious yet cute and pretty! Can’t wait to watch their reaction now 😁

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

I feel the pairings ended up being so perfect this year! And thank you so much! :D I really honed in on their wish list for their capybara selves haha

[@CautionArtistatPlay]

This is beyond phenomenal! You captured Steph and Adam so well! ❤ I love the gift from Rizzy too! As a dog mom, it really makes my soul happy!

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

Thank you so much! 💖 I had a lot of fun converting them to capybaras haha and yes rizzys gift was amazing! I love that she highlighted my fur babies hehe

[@CautionArtistatPlay]

LOVING the cozy capybaras!! Your art always amazes me! The line work is always so neat and tidy and the color selection is so spot on it’s crazy🤩 I’m SO glad you liked the piece I made for you as well! I was so nervous and wanted to make you proud with my attempt at monsters🤣 The doggies were such fun to study and draw as well. You’re very lucky to have them as part of your family! This collab was such fun and I’m so happy I was given the opportunity to participate❤️

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

Thank you so much! 💖 I really appreciate it! And yes I loved your piece! And your monsters were awesome! I loved hearing the stories behind all of them and your piece!

Aw such a cute Art-piece of Adam and Steph as Capybaras. I am sure they loved it. It is always so fun to see A collaboration between Art youtubers you have been watching for a long time and thought did not even know of each other. It's kinda like wolds colliding lol. Such a fun Idea and I hope this can maybe become an annual thing, such a good Idea to help each other out.

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

Than k you so much!

[@ChuckLeeMBM]

Yooooo this was so fun and super thoughtful!! Also creating in that perspective is awe inspiring to say the least! Well done, and I cant wait to watch Goobish video!!

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

Thank you so much! :D oh my god yeah this perspective was roughhhh hahaha for sure outside my comfort zone but I am glad I went for it!

Love the piece you did. I wouldn't have had a clue how to work both people into a piece. You nailed it. ❤

Thank you so much! For sure it was a bit of a challenge to brainstorm exactly how to incorporate them so I am glad it turned out so cute!

[@PurpleWillowArts]

This was so cool to see it all come together. I think what you made is just amazing! I love when collabs are done. I get to find new artists that I didn’t know before. I’m now subbed to your channel. 💜💜💜

Thank you so much! And yes I love participating in these collabs both to meet some new art friends and helping grow the art community!

[@MollysCanvas]

Turned out great! I’ve never seen the amount of work that goes into your style of art before and I have to say I’m very impressed with the level of details! That must have taken so long! Nicely done!

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

Thank you so much! And yes it can take a ton of work especially for full environment piece. It took me about 3 days on and off to get through this one

[@karabearcomics]

I continue to realize I need to make videos again. If I had even a small chance of being involved in such a thing as this, there is at least some chance if I actually do the thing rather than tell myself I need to do it.

[@KatelynMcCaigue]

You can do it! The art community on KZbin is wonderful so I always encourage people to try it out!
