[@nidhidhokare3829]

Hey, You're the reason I started drawing again after 7-8yrs. Also you've inspired me to get out of comfort zone and try different medium and forms and I'm grateful.

[@artofjesskarp]

Amazing! Thanks!

[@diana2.002]

I love that red figure so much. So warm yet so sad vibes🧡 You inspire me a lot!! Thank you for your videos and your art!!💛💛

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!! I love how it came out also. Thanks for your sweet comment :)

[@kitkatpattywhack]

Me too! There's something about that one. Love it

[@kerrysartwork]

I love that one too!

[@TheEnigma2389]

The first portrait...from a blob to a finished piece. WOW!! Was reminded of your 💯 heads challenge...that was the first video of yours I ever watched...and I was immediately hooked. I literally binge-watched all your videos afterwards. You inspire me a lot. Thanks for this video! I'll be immersing myself in my sketchbook now. K'bye!☺️

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much!!

[@melissarounds786]

Only 5 pages left!? Goodness, that made my heart excited for a sketchbook tour hearing those words.

[@artofjesskarp]

Yepppoooo! Thanks!

[@salehanaseem581]

I love the way how the blue one turned out, at first it was like random marker strokes but suddenly it becomes a beautiful sketch

[@artofjesskarp]

That’s right!

[@snowbella2231]

the girl in the blue and orange one is my favourite! the way you layered on those colours just look so nice

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you:)

[@dianeo]

I love how these all turned out. Especially the blue/orange portrait! That color combo is my current fav. Your portraits are so impressive and inspiring, I've been doing head studies in my sketchbook all month. BTW, on a silly, off-topic note, just letting you know I appreciate your lovely nails. I don't understand how some artists can't take a minute to remove their nasty peeling polish before filming and leave them bare or do a quick coat of polish.

[@artofjesskarp]

thank you so much Diane!! I also appreciate you noticing that lol I never film without making sure they are looking good :)

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Agree, I'd be embarrassed to do a video of my nails looking like that. Everyone looks at the artists hands 💅

[@clouds620]

The expressions of these portraits are amazing! It was great seeing your process in experimenting in your sketchbook! Love your videos ❤️

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much

[@Squishy_Seal]

I adore the blue and the red one ! Funny, because they are my favourite colours. Thank you Jess ! That was a wonderful video.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks so much!!

[@artniely1811]

Really love the portrait of the girl with blue colors and the red gradient figure! 😍

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks a bunch!

[@CHANDRIKKA_PATHAK_]

THE FIRST ONE AND THE LAST COLOUR PALATEE ARE SO SO BEAUTIFUL

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!

[@CHANDRIKKA_PATHAK_]

@@artofjesskarp You're welcome ;)

[@ptaylor4923]

I loved this one, Jess. Initially my favorite was the tall lad in red. I liked not on the color, but his stance; the way his weight was distributed and shoulder posture. Upon seeing the girl evolve that was my favorite. It was the layering of undercolor and building up that taught me the most. I do watercolor and enjoy that technique.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much for this wonderful comment- I really appreciate it!

[@mriduparnanath6807]

Omg!!!! I just love the videos where you draw figures especially where you use mixed media. They are so interesting. I find them really helpful. Thanks for this video Jessica😘

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!! I’m so glad :)

[@urvashisangwan8858]

The blue and the green ones are amazing!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thanks!!

The blue one is so beautiful...and its my favourite

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you!

[@rizzart66]

I love them all. My favorite is the first one because of the technique. I love the starting with the lightest shading. Not getting so hung up on perfect lines. Awesome.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you so much!! I agree :)

[@paintwithme8079]

You really inspire me to draw faces

[@artofjesskarp]

Yeah! I like to draw different things and this make me to enjoy Love your each and every video but your art series of fruit characters i really really loved that series and even watched those videos many times❤❤❤❤

[@Porygonal]

Definitely would also note the textures on her paper. Must be a mixed media or cold-press watercolor finish with all that texture.

[@artofjesskarp]

Thats right!

Thank you! I agree :) I love that look too! I’d you try it out tag me on Instagram !
