Drawing and painting marathon! VLOG ~ Frannerd

[@CallistaHooper]

The "Things I Suck at Drawing" shirt is hilarious, and I love how the color and design is soft and understated. 10/10 would wear to figure drawing :D

[@isaqueds]

Fran, I really hope you knows how happy your videos make me. 😊 I found a new love for drawing thanks to your channel, even started a new account on Instagram to share my art. Your love and enthusiasm is so inspiring. (Also, South American dude here, I feel so represented by the few times u don't know how to say something in English, or struggle with pronunciation. So relatable!😉😉) So, thank you! 💛

[@vivianpan8786]

Fran .could you make a video about the podcasts you recommend? The ones you like to listen to while working? Love your videos!

[@twiggy1595]

I love how often you've been posting videos, Fran! It's so cool to get to see into your process! Thank you for sharing with all of us! :)

[@ajane4418]

YAY Fran! They're looking so amazing! Last year I did a 365 day challenge (MAD!), and my question to you would be, what is your favourite "by-product" of your Franuary challenges - The fact that you're pushing yourself to do work outside of your comfort zone, or the self discipline and routine it forces you to maintain during a challenge, or something else??

[@leanneland]

Your ‘all the same to me’ t-shirt is amazing!!! I love it! 😍💕

[@polpettapolp4251]

Grabbed a cup of coffee and ready to spend 16 minutes with Fran

[@polpettapolp4251]

Edit: I love how you eventually used that shirt! I do have a question, though it's not related to the challenge: has A punto de partir been translated into English yet? :-( You rock

[@rociovalentinagomezachurra4367]

Me fascina como dibujas y como interpretas todas las cosas. Realmente eres una gran inspiración para mi y para muchísimos más.💖 Saludos desde Chile!!!❤💐

[@emmanuelleh7218]

My favourite thing about this serie : your jokes and you laughing at your own jokes.

[@FranMeneses]

god I do it all the time, not my proudest feature :U

[@emmanuelleh7218]

Well be proud cause I love it !

Hola! En un punto pensé en no escribir nada... Pero quería darte las gracias... Hace unos días q me encontré con tu canal... Me encanta! He visto muchos vídeos, debo decir que lo mejor en cada uno de ellos es tu actitud! Me encanta tu trabajo!

[@karenlepage-mindfulmaker]

When you asked “do you think this is funny?” I was already barking a laugh that scared my dog. “Things I suck at drawing” is brilliant.

[@lorewatches]

You should've shown us your wonderful dog t-shirt (the one you are wearing at the end)! You might not know this, but your fashion sense is highly appreciated. I love the shirts, cardigans and jumpers you wear. You should definitely show us! OOTDs Fraaaan ;)

[@PamelaSantos]

How much of a 30 day challenge actually goes according to plan? How to deal with possible setbacks ahead? Love your stuff Fran!

[@loopy1oopy]

Me: Fran’s videos are so relaxed and chill Fran: *opens paint* , *splatters it on fingers* Me: yep Keep going Fran you CAN do it! Question: How do you get yourself prepared and motivated to make new content, especially if it’s a 30 day challenge?

[@annalina-we]

Love these! I always find it hard to fit projects like these into my schedule, so my question would be if you have any tips re: planning around your other plans/work/etc? 🌞

[@trinityo8298]

My favourite time of the week 😊💗

[@ghostroseart]

HAHA 'things I suck at drawing' made me laugh so much. Love all of these designs!

[@missjennys698]

Fran all these designs that you have been doing are so AWESOME! I feel you should be looking into drop shipping so you can produce several copys and sell them. I have a feeling you would sell loads of them xxx

[@WildWeRoam]

LOVE THIS!! Question about challenges: how do you celebrate when you finish the 30 days?? ***also Lou says he wants me to say "he says hi too" - we just watched this together to kick off our Saturday night!!! so thank you for the lovely entertainment! we miss you twoooooo

[@Mankaniche]

A simple yet crucial question : how do you get rid of the pencil on the shirts once you painted them ? Is there still kind of a tiny red line under it ? As you seem really meticulous I doubt you'd let that happen ! Btw : i am a belgian illustrator and, Fran, thank you so much for giving me the motivation I need every damn time I feel lazy about drawing. You remind me what an amazing job we have

[@awkwardity5615]

I love your videos Fran, thank you for sharing all sides of being an independent artist! It's really inspiring, I am currently in my last school year for graphic design and I am super nervous about getting "out there", and these videos always calm me down and help me get into a better frame of mind for the future... Also, all the t-shirts came out so pretty!

[@MrRichardmena]

your work is very inspiring, i am going to start to work a lot in all the aplications i want to do, and i get energy just watching your videos.

[@daantje2956]

How do you actually finish a challenge? I have started a few the last few years but i just burn out halfway. Any tips on planning (that's actually realistic, i underestemate things quite a lot or overestimate myself)? Love seeing you do this!

[@saraguiu762]

Sobre el reto me gustaría preguntar por tu organización: el orden que sigues en el proceso (¿improvisas?), cómo haces o cuándo el trabajo que no es propio del reto y las obligaciones cotidianas (comer, lavar, la compra,...). Como sugerencia: podrías sortear las camisetas entre los patrons y vender los diseños que más han gustado. Besooossss

[@fraffee]

So calming to watch 😊

[@NanaLimonada]

La camiseta rosa con la tacita es lo más bonito que he visto en mucho mucho tiempo :D

[@jayeagle2435]

I love the coffee cup bath design ♡♡♡

[@bharadwaj1994]

Hey Fran! Absolutely love your videos! I've always wanted to do a 30 day challenge but I always have two big problems: organizing myself (between work and art) and finding a topic that keeps me motivated enough to keep going. Any tips? Would love to hear how you would deal with them :)

[@caoscreativo-art]

Lovely tshirt! There is so much work behind it, it's not just a piece of clothing it's a unique and wearable piece of art! Amazing! Good job gal! By the way the name of the italian coffee maker is "Moka" ;-)

[@TheSquirrelsgonewild]

For the burrito one, how about a purrito? With a kitty inside such as the deadliest or one of your kitties? Purrfect for us cat ladies lol

[@MeiRyuuzaki]

About 30 day challenges, what advice do you have about sticking to the plans and whatever organizing system you come up with when deciding to do one? I also always fear i'll lose steam, the **inspiration** halfway through it if I tried one, so I admire your hard work for that too. You're amazing!! and always put me in an artsy mood!! thanks for sharing your work!! love from brazil xx

[@LatteDot]

I love all your videos! Thank you so much for the wonderful content.

[@MariaLostFairy]

Omg the burrito one 💛

[@kaiaerie]

I would love to know how you came up with consistent content when you felt stuck or unmotivated. I have a very difficult time coming up with ideas once the thrill is gone.

[@Madelelion]

You need to do some printed tshirts to sell!! So many designs I need! That vegan one

[@elysiacase]

How do you stay motivated? whenever I do 30 day challenges I get so tired half way through that it loses all the fun. Also, how do you deal with falling behind schedule?

[@rachelluczynski847]

We love you, Fran!!!

[@mcjill15]

That last five seconds though! Love it :)

[@aidandoyle3570]

ooo for the lady in the coffee/tea cup, what if you made the clouds above her the Steam coming out of the hot cup of coffee/tea!! like, its a trail of steam kinda then turning into the clouds....if that makes sense lol

[@KimImpossible]

Not a question but more of a request.A mini review of the fabric paints you use,which one is good,bad,worth it,blah etc.I have 2 questions tho did u have any bleeding issues with the tshirts u used or fabric paints? Did u put any gloss or top coat afterwards for it not to deteriorate over time idk if that is even a thing but ya know when ur tshirt is old and the paint gets crunchy lolol thanks for sharing the process 💕

[@latonia408]

You are so awesome Fran. Gracias por tu dedicacion y tu manera de ser, muy libre. Me encanta tu contenido y te deseo mucha suerte y te mando muchos besos desde California. You got this girly!

[@VioPhotography]

Fran, me encanta lo que haces, pero debo confesar que extraño escucharte hablar chilenismos ... por favor, algún día vuelve a hacer un video en español

[@natasharedmane]

How much planning happened before the challenge began, and how much planning happens while the challenge is happening? Every time I see people doing 30+ days challenges I question if I could keep it up myself. I have the impression that I would go insane if I didn't plan everything in the beginning and I would go insane if I tried to plan everything in the beginning because that's nearly impossible to do.

[@sugarcougar1185]

Question: How do you keep it consistent? The content? And where do you find the motivation?

[@o0Daisy0o]

Love you forever, Fran!! I actually have a question related to your planner. Can you machine wash the planner bags? I fell the other day, sprained my ankle and got my planner bag covered in mud T^T but at least the planner is safe and sound! It has been SUCH a life saver and has really helped me organise my life!

[@manalimokashi799]

Hi Fran, You could use an embroidery hoop to stretch your t-shirt while painting..that way the surface of the cloth will be even and easier to paint on. Try once :)

[@olgamustecaplioglu2779]

Hey Fran! A question: I know you get sketches ready before starting the challenge and plan ahead etc.... but what happens when right in the middle, you want to change some stuff and then you get a new commission/project? How do you organize that situation, no sleep maybe? :) Anyways love ya & keep up the videos coming! it's so good to see you every week :)

[@robeesaurus]

I love apple and cinnamon, it's the perfect snack!

[@xoxoAZURAoxox]

Hey Fran!! Thank you for the awesome video and for working so hard. You are absolutely amazing🙂❤️ I've got a couple questions for the Q&A: What was the most difficult thing about the 30 day challenge? What did you enjoy most about the challenge? Did you have other ideas of what you wanted to make for 30 days? How did you feel once you finished the challenge? Would you do this type of challenge again? Thank you again for all the hard work you have been doing and the awesome videos!! I hope you are having a lovely day!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Brockohliflower]

Hey, maybe you don't need to buy anymore and maybe you already know, but if you can't find decent, basic shirts in the charity shops it's worth asking if they might have some in the back. Depending on which shops it is, sometimes they only put out things that will sell for a decent amount because of limited rack space - so the more fancy tops.

[@Your.dead.goldfish]

Hey Fran! I'm going to be starting a 30 day challenge soon and I have a couple questions. How much time do you spend on each t-shirt from start to finish? And how do you keep yourself from getting bored of doing the same thing over and over? Love your videos, thank you for sharing your work :)

[@CreativeJenni]

It's fun to watching your videos. I like that you show behind the scenes. I recently started the 100 days comics challenge myself.

[@eiji3516]

Hi Fran! I have a few questions, How do yo manage your time while doing the challenges? And what methods can you recommend about coming up with ideas quickly?

[@maryrua2287]

Hello Fran! Thank you for an amazing video 🌸 My question for Q&A is how to organize all the 30 days to have something every day without missing and being late? I mean, how to manage doing everything in advance? Have you started sketching before this crazy January or not? Thank you 💫

[@proyc95]

I love Fran’s scarf and lunches lol

[@createparadise]

I just found your channel, I 💛 it! Totally subscribing! Thank you for your videos. 😍

[@danielamedivi1]

Están quedando geniales estas playeras. En otro tema, que triste que una no pueda decir o hacer nada sin miedo a ser mal interpretado. Estamos muy sensibles estos días. En otro tema, admiro tu disciplina y constancia. Este mes he sido muy floja y no he dibujado casi nada. Son temporadas en las que me peleo con todo. Espero seguir tu ejemplo echarle ganitas el siguiente.

[@unaanguila]

¡Gracias por compartir!

[@titipapery1902]

Hi Fran! My name is Tianhe :) I'm French-Chinese, travelling the World right now. Your videos are very inspiring for drawing and hard work. I'm impressed by what you do 👍🏻 My questions about the challenge would be : what is the hardest part? And why should people do it ? Thank you for shariiiing ! Be brave !!! 😁

[@ensaios]

lovely as always ❤

[@mercampallo4059]

Hola Fran. No te imaginas la rabia que me da no poder ir a Sevilla a la Galería Roja a asistir a tu workshop... Disfruta de mi ciudad. Un besazo!

[@CeciliaTorres-ky9sw]

Hi Fran! I have 2 questions: did you ever do a 30 days challenge when you were doing other stuff (like work, college, etc)? I'm going to do one but because school suffocates me, I'm planning it 2 months in advanced so I can complete it successfully, do you think this is valid or should I do it in the rush of the month because that's the spirit of the challenge? Lots of love xx

[@yariarenas]

Love this challenge so much Fran! I'm so inspired to paint a few shirts myself. Regarding questions, I wanted to echo some of the other folks that asked about time management and planning. I attempted Inktober last year but was moving so ended up quitting pretty early on because I was so busy packing. In retrospect I realize I didn't have a theme which may have helped and I hadn't blocked out time daily. How far ahead do you plan your drawings, do you have all 30 days planned before you start, a few ahead, do you improvise daily? How much pre-workout do you do vs starting and finishing in one day. Gracias Fran! 💕

[@sarandongabacalaera]

the t-shirt of things i suck at drawing is very funny and cute!

[@Janlid]

Hermoso todo lo que haces! super inspirador

[@girlwithamonkeyhat]

Do you recommend any apps to keep motivation going for challenges? I saw that you used one in this video but I couldn't catch the name of it!

[@that_cute_aries]

Issie Tovey the one in the video is called gero, if that helps any

[@Johnyisevil]

Just a note for the "you said you'll call" design! Grammatically, it should be "You said YOU'D* call".

[@ItMeToshi]

How much time did you spend planning out-how it would all plan out?? How did you come about your method of needing to do shirts in batches? When did you realize it was do-able but risky? I know you do “Franuary” at the beginning of the year, but when EXACTLY did you decide “this Franuary I think I’ll do…T-SHIRTS!!!” was it the month before? Two months?? The middle of the year???

[@nonebut9886]

Con cada vídeo te amo más Fran💕💕💕

[@MrNanynn]

Yo quiero saber si vas a vender poleras? Siento que hay varias que podrías hacer en serie para vender 🙌🏻 incluso podrías hacer una votación de las mas populares. Con respecto a los retos de 30 días tengo la duda de como mantener la motivación, me pasa mucho por ejemplo con el inktober que parto on fire, pero me atraso un día y ya se acumula el trabajo y al final me da paja y lo dejo. Como lo haces con eso? Y la organización o el tema? Lo vas viendo en el camino o lo tienes pensado de antes? Muchas gracias ☺️

[@febreroiria]

Mi pregunta: has pensado en poner a la venta en tu tienda tus camisetas favoritas de este reto?❤

[@maud3721]

(sorry if my english sounds weird im french) Dis this challenge makes you want to create and sell on your etsy shop tee-shirts ? youre so inspiring :) ❤️

[@beanhope8739]

What kind of paint did you use on the t shirts? Was it acrylic or fabric paint?

[@nikasaumi]

Hello Fran! Sorry for another comment :D I was wondering do you maybe plan on making a video about how you create stickers? Do you print them yourself? I would really want to sell stickers on etsy one day and I wonder what the best way to do it is.. :)

[@inkseer]

The shirt designs (and the vid in general) made me chuckle a lot. ^___^ Loved when you squirted paint out of the tube and the nice music just cut off.

[@tinytofubunny]

I love these 'behind the scenes' vlogs - very cool! How do you stay inspired to create something new every day? Any tips for improving your self-discipline while you're doing a challenge? Is it hard to stay positive when you feel like there's so much work to be done?

[@hellenforst]

I love everything you do! :) Well done!🐱

[@jellysams]

Will these ever make it into your shop? They're too cute not to!! Regarding your 30 day challenge.. do you keep drawing until you feel it's "perfect," or do you just go with what you have for the sake of the challenge?

[@andrearomero5414]

Hola Fran! He aquí mis preguntas: si no hiciste este reto pensando en lucrar con las camisetas ¿hiciste alguna comisión o trabajaste en algo durante el reto? (Además de pintar las camisetas) y si fue así, ¿cómo manejas el tiempo entre trabajo y reto? ¿qué aprendiste con este reto de Franuary? ¿lo disfrutaste o fue demasiado estresante? ...😅 creo que es todo...saludos desde México 💕

[@natalybrigetteruidiazarias7077]

Me encanta la de "Things I suck..." Me siento tan identificada. XD

[@Mahoosi]

Things I suck at drawing T-Shirt is AWESOME!!!!

[@aviacohen3128]

I love the borrito one!

[@kirstenroe738]

Hey Fran! Your videos are relaxing and inspiring to watch for me. Just wondering if you share who are you favourite KZbinrs to watch at the moment. Xx

[@LinesAndCursives]

Hey, Fran! Challenge question: when you do them, how do you stay motivated to do them all the way through. When you first started challenges (or KZbin, for that matter ) , how did you stay encouraged when you didn't get many views and follows. What keeps you going? Thank you so much. I love you!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kyriegray4911]

I loved the one of good Fran and Evil Fran one you posted! When you finish are you going to do a photoshoot of you in every teeshirt?

[@rubihernandez9608]

Hola fran me eche un maratón de tus vídeos porque me encantan y tu estilo :3 ( la mayoría escribe en inglés)

[@cocoapurple1376]

Hey fran! I'm so proud of you! My question actually is can you wash those shirts? I like the idea of painting shirts for yourself for fun but I'm curious if you can wash them.

[@LexaVollicik]

Fran: "Everything is everywhere". Me: "The story of my life".

[@marcusshaner7066]

How do you ever get thumbs down?!?!?! People are crazy! You're awesome!

[@98eyespy]

I love the animal/vegan shirt so much 😍

[@SevaergrahGood]

Me encanta tu look invernal :3

[@nikasaumi]

This video is very inspiring! Thank you. :) I always enjoy "spending time with you" even though we don't know each other, haha. That sounds a bit creepy, right? Sorry. You are a huge inspiration to me! :) Do you have any tips on improving in character drawings / drawing people? Should a person start from drawing parts of the body - learn to draw them separately first? Or should we just draw everything at once . the whole person? :)) I have a feeling that my "art" is just improving so slowly :/ I have a feeling that I would need a mentor/teacher who would give me homeworks to get better - as I have no idea what steps to take to get better. This is a very confusing comment I guess! Sorry! You are a self taught artist right? Did you have a tip for making some kind of a drawing plan to get better? :) Thank you! You are awesooome!!

[@myhdify]

the Burrito shirt was definitely my favorite lol

[@Namyii_]

I love all the designs you came up with in this video especially the tea on and the "your call is important to us pls hold" I would definitely wear something like that! My question regarding a 30 day challenge is how did you stay so calm and not get overwhelmed? At some point I get crazy unmotivated and overwhelmed and then I want to quite but it makes me feel like a failure and I'd go into a self hating negative spiral @_@

[@oddvids6803]

Great stuff!

[@marisadaniela6]

The coffee bath tshirt is me me meeeeeeee ilovecoffeesomuch

[@Mlle.Lamarin]

I love the " Things I suck at drawing " I actually laughed while watching the video because I do suck at drawing bicycles as well. Like, as far as I remember, I never get how this thing was built haha the structure is sooo weird like too weird for my poor mind hahaa. But one day, I'll do a perfect bicycle ( hopefully. ) By the way, I'm starting a drawing challenge as well ( I wanna post an illustration per day from the 1rst of February till the 14th. Yep one drawing till Valentine's day. hahaa Cause I wanna draw couples from pop culture ( can you feel the love here ? hahaaa ) I didn't want to make a 30day challenge cause I'm a bit scared haha. But thought 14 days would be a good start.. You really kept me motivated and I thought that a drawing challenge would be awesome, and.. Well.. challenging ! And I really need to have a project like this. It's nice to experiment and be very productive etc. So I'm happy about it. I would love to see a whole video about you talking about how to approach a 30day challenge. I know you talked a bit about it when you did inktober few years ago, etc. But, I would love to know more about your organisation before starting. Like, your planning method, when you feel is the right time to start the challenge in order not to be overwhelmed, etc. Have an awesome week Fran ! Love from France !

[@misscaffy]

Hola Fran, ahora que he terminado de ver el vídeo, ahora mismo me sería imposible empezar un challenge porque llevo demasiadas cosas adelante. Estudio química, trabajo en un restaurante, cuido de mi abuela y hago vídeos en youtube cuando tengo tiempo libre, así que para mi un challenge de 30 días sería imposible por el momento. Sí que me gustaría preguntarte como te organizas, tengo un problema y es que creo que no se planificarme y si lo hiciera conseguiría hacer más cosas en el día de manera más eficiente. A veces lo que más me cuesta es ''madrugar''. ¿Qué es lo que te motiva a seguir?¿Cómo consigues organizarte? y ¿Cómo te planificas por ejemplo la semana? Un beso :*

[@ayelengallardocubas8454]

Will you make a congratulations it's a burrito shirt again? I just love it sm!

[@rq1497]

Hey Fran, my question is ; how do you manage not to lose your mind during a 30 day challenge? xo
