#EverythingIsContent

[@HayleyPeachyPunk]

Could we make this a series? I would eat this up if we had all the cast do their own sketch session.

[@silentinfinity]

Please, miss, may I have some more?

[@avalonwillowbloom1590]

Thoroughly unfair when Matt is on there, considering he has tons of art experience. Lol

[@Dinaloon]

Taliesin get's a double session I need to see him drawing Mollymauk AND Caduceus

[@Venyankari]

@@Dinaloon Fuck Yes! and then he draws a pyramid

[@camillaim]

I want this so badly

[@Kvalln]

"LET ME FIX IT DONT LOOK AT ME" - mood, Marisha

[@wickedpissa25]

Bob Ross would be a firbolg, I think.

[@treeaboo]

Now I just want to see a video of Pumat drawing happy little trees.

[@wickedpissa25]

(spoken slowly) "And if you make a mistake, don't worry about it. That smudge is now - respectfully - a happy little shrub."

[@LoneTailProductions]

"And, respectfully, remember that not everyone is of the same skill as you. So no matter what, you'll always remember to be a tad humble. Sometimes Prime Pumat forgets that, but we try to remind him."

[@Miaka99]

Bab's is so right when she said everyone starts out as an artist, and have it "beaten" out of us. Up to about 8th grade I LOVED art. My art teacher ruined it for me. I use to have a very cartoonish styled of my art. Which while it was cartoonish, was consistent. We had a project that we had to do in "our own style" (her words). Featuring parts of our life: Likes, Fears, Family Hobbies etc. She told me I couldnt do a cartoon style spider cause it wasn't realistic. (My family was all drawn as circle heads, no finger hands, big eyes.) The spider was the problem. I gave up on art after that year. Only picking it up, after High School.

[@DM-ld8fd]

My high school art teacher was the same way! She absolutely abhorred any cartoon-style art as if it was somehow less valid.

[@simmonslucas]

I love that.

[@soyo2406]

Long comment, sorry! I'm tired and emotional and started to rant. .. When I was 10 my art teacher (who wasn't much of an artist herself) told us we could choose a piece of art we've done during the year and do a show and tell with it. I chose this cardboard cupcake craft we did in class that I loved and was so proud of it. But when it came to me to show and talk about it the whole class, including the teacher laughed at me because it didn't look like a cupcake. I don't remember what it looked like but I ended up throwing it out. That broke my heart. Thankfully, I kept with art in my spare time, and at the time i was taking art classes outside of school, but for a long time I couldn't show my art to anyone. I moved to a different country when I was 11, and at my new school we had proper art classes, but for the most part I still had teachers that weren't very encouraging and didn't know much about art themselves (the school I went to only had two art teachers, and they usually taught the senior school/high school, so I never got them) UNTIL I was 14 and a new art teacher came in. The year before I almost decided to give up with art because I started to believe that I just couldn't do it. Thankfully I decided to continue with art. The new teacher was my favourite art teacher throughout high school. She was so encouraging and helpful and pushed me to constantly improve myself. It was through her that I started to see myself as an artist. I had her for the rest of my high school years, and I was so blessed. I fell in love with art all over again and it was through art that I started to find confidence in myself and it was through art that I made some of my best friends. I just graduated from high school in 2018 and I ended up getting top in my painting class, and I'm currently waiting for my scholarship art results. While I'm not studying art at university, I'm definitely going to continue with it, and hopefully make some money off it. I would have never gotten to this point if I hadn't kept at it, and continuing with my art. And I would have never kept with it if not for my art teacher. If not for her, I would have had the artist beat out of me, and I honestly can't imagine what it would be like if that had happened to me

[@svvansong]

!!! this!! when I was at school we were taught basically just to pump out as much as we could each year to get a grade and we weren't being critiqued on our style/artistic influence etc. I got so sick of not improving but being forced to produce anyway and gave it up. Now I struggle to draw anything without being hyper-critical and quitting halfway through :(((

[@jesterssketchbook]

same here. Teacher (REPEATEDLY) - "its very cartoonish" me: why? cos i can actually do linework, unlike anyone else in this class? It's been real bro, yall have fun! Peace!" (bounces outta there). I wonder how many of her students STILL make art these days....hmmmm

[@snorpenbass4196]

Mechanical pencil advantages over regular pencils: You can switch out lead softness on the fly, the tip is *always* sharp, and often they have a better grip - the more expensive ones even have little latex or rubber grips specifically to be better to hold and draw with. I only use regular pencils for life and model drawings, because there the degradation of the tip and the ability to angle it for thick shading and such is a plus.

[@groofay]

"I'm gonna break down a head." - Babs at 10:09...could also have been a Beau quote.

[@KyleSantin]

I love the creative growth of this channel, and with so much new content in such a small period of time too! Great job Marisha!

[@RatherWatchThemSA]

I love that comment about "day-old makeup" informing Beau's character. I made a character around the same time and decided she should be blonde with dark roots showing. It's as much a character choice as a style choice.

[@kieran163]

Babs’s way of drawing women “sexy but not sexualized” is something we need more of in the comic industry. Women can be sexy without being objects.

[@shampoovta]

Bob Ross D&D is cool, liking this

[@gatonegroloco]

Bob Ross voice: ok now we're gonna put a happy little Minotaur right there. and over here we'll put a pit trap so they might have a happy little accident.

[@curtisd5864]

"Happy accidents" - Babs Ross

[@Archon762]

The secret to art is just knowing where to put lines. It sounds a lot easier than it is, but you can really see it here at 32:47, just the difference it makes with the bottom eye curling up into the almond shape vs the bottom eye lash makes you realize it.

[@pepperaimeemorgado788]

Loved this. Maricia, one of the things you do best is spotlight creativity and the importance of being true to one's self. Keep up the innovative and intriguing work. You and the team have inspired me to take more chances and be my most real, geeky, artistic, leader, honest, kind self. Not many places on earth can we go for this kind of inspiration.

[@marshmyellow]

i hope this is going to be a series

[@FFigueira]

yes! id love to see other artists too, like this is a very like, geometric, rules filled method for art, i think it would be cool for them to bring someone more like.. free formed i guess? and then like compare results (if it was all marisha doing a beau bust it would be amazing too lol)

[@marshmyellow]

@@FFigueira oh yeah! I was worried it'd be a bit repetitive if the same person was instructing every member of the cast individually. But pretty much every artist has their own insights and shortcuts, so it'd be super exciting to see different people explaining similar material. Edit: or maybe they could all draw different things: Frumpkin for Liam, sweets for Laura etc.

[@LifeOfRoseAngel]

Agreed!

[@CMLT.]

Thumbs up! Great content :) Would love to see more of these, maybe another style, media, or next step to inking and coloring

[@Eaglebrace]

yeah image great fan artist of cr teach one of the cast.

[@dv6236]

34:49 "Its great ..........................I have to fix it ... It just .....I can't, I can't Marisha" - Babs , I can so relate with that lmao

[@Sycronn]

This was so chill to watch and the instructions were top-notch. Now I want to see Marisha draw all of the M9, would looove to see her try her hand at the tieflings or Cad. :D

[@Vale-fd4pk]

WHY...why I love everything on this channel... I'm half way through the second campain, I watch Talks right after the episodes of the campain and now because of the little commercials in the pauses of the episodes I want to watch the Yehaa Ranch and Pub Draw..... guys I know that I'm like 2 years late or something... but this is too much good content ! How am I supposed to be a functional, 22 years old, adult. I love you all so much 💖

[@jimmapes9358]

We need more of this Marisha!!! One of my favorite episodes of Everything is Content so far, you and Babs together slay me and it’s super informative.

[@naattinaatti9678]

i just friggin love marisha. :')

[@lynnecayton9030]

I think it would be cool if each member of the cast had a different artist teach them to draw their character.

[@Gaagnusch]

Do a everything is content where matt and/or Liam painting some minis^^

[@dolansajorda4513]

Give this comment more likes!!! I want this to happen!!!!

[@Ayselx]

*cough*firstepisodeofpaintersguild*cough* 😉

[@simmonslucas]

Yes

[@filiperodriguesaquin]

Yes please!

[@AweHitero]

I'd really like to see each of them trying to learn how to draw their own characters =)

[@SunnyEclipse109]

Man, I dont know if Matt has the time to draw all of his characters! I'd love to see them all try this though! ^_^

[@treycool9565]

Look at you, getting your wish granted 😀

[@michaellomax8174]

I LOVE THE SUBTLE "thank you 20". theatre is great.

[@DaveTpletsch]

Love this! definitely want more! want to see guest critters on here also teaching and sharing their art. I'd love to see the cast getting taught step by step how to go about making a finished portrait of their character over a handful of episodes and auctioning it for their charity. Hell, I'll come teach anyone on the cast or crew to sculpt a bust in ceramic clay if you want. Please make The The Joy of D&D, a Bob Ross parody, an actual show.

[@limors]

I liked the general concept of this, but tbh it gave me war flashbacks to when I sat down with a friend who's a tattoo artist and for fun did a "contest" of who draws the design she was working on better. She kind of forgot the fun part and critiqued my work with her professional eye, while I'm such an art noob that sometimes I can't even draw a straight line. We're not all pros like you, artists! Be kind!

[@Sylcatam]

Make this a series please. It would be so much fun to see maybe even with other castmates each trying their own character.

[@cjraymond8061]

Could we get the whole cast to do this? Please.

[@lafken2]

I'd love many follow-ups on this! Also, I haven't drawn in ages, and watching this really made me want to art again! It was so uplifting and sweet and fun

[@F4R207]

Are we going to see each member of the mighty nein drawn by their player along with some friends of the show artists of note, please? Well done Marisha and well done Babs for the lesson.

[@ChandlerLawsonPlays]

I would love more of this. Maybe even with other cast members or a series focusing on Marisha's growth.

[@secretagent_beans]

"THE PENCIL IS MIGHTIER THAN THE PUMPKIN!!" this might have to be my senior quote just because :P

[@TheRenegadePaladin]

You did a VERY good job Marisha, especially for someone with little to no previous experience! I'd like to see more stuff like this since the stuff in D&D is the kind of stuff I like to draw. I tend To have a hard time drawing mouths and armor especially waist armor.

[@TheNowerianRaven]

Thank you for making me pick up drawing again after years. Considering i never done faces or anything else besides stickman comics and wierd skulls that Beau face isnt the worst.

[@geoffreypeterson8903]

This was a cool video! I would love to see more, either with Marisha learning more drawing techniques for Beau/Keyleth/etc or the other Critical Role cast drawing their characters

[@garth-mod4011]

I would LOVE to see more of this!!

[@madkins42]

YES! More D&D arts and crafts!!

[@3dartstudio007]

Just a few nerdy-ass artists sitting around the table sketching and drawing. These are just some of my favorite things. ~:>

[@gentle-man436]

As someone who usually avoids drawing bcause it turns out like garbage, this series is really inspiring. Thank you Babs and Marisha for the motivation I needed!

[@ldoc3988]

I'd pay even more to let this be a show!! I wanna see the cast go through a drawing 101 class. Especially Sam for Scanlan, Laura for JESTER, or even Matt for.......oh god, give him a whole season

[@Museofmemory]

More lessons with Babs, please. I love how she isn't precious about mistakes. It's just like, "that's funny. Here's how you fix it." It's a great attitude for learners to adopt.

[@safirasart]

THIS IS MY KIND OF CONTENT! I absolutely love It!!!

[@conanshuman3995]

Brain is broken by these tips. Love them. Never thought about that

[@Shield0rHeal]

Oh my gosh, that was amazing Marisha!!! I'd love to see more!

[@Rensey]

This was amazing and soothing and I'd love to see more! I'm an artist and I'm constantly telling people that anyone can draw if they just start doing it and I love the progress that Marisha made! In an hour! I hope this inspired more people to start drawing

[@dolansajorda4513]

"You have to learn the rules to break them. " Deep.

[@Dijeouni]

I like this! But the materials are too light that the camera can't pick them up D:

[@sorbet_salamanderd2014]

PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES AND WITH THE REST OF THE CAST PLEASE

[@AlyxGlide]

Let's see this one sneaked into the fanart during the show! 😊

[@MatCumb91]

please get the Crit Role crew to sketch their own characters... and Matt sketch Orley (not sure how that's spelled)

[@andrewtemple5654]

Super fun! I followed along and have never drawn this well EVER in my life. Awesome series! Looking forward to the next episodes.

[@SunnyTasha]

We definitely want more. I love babsdraws work. I would love if everyone got a draw lesson and got to draw their own characters

[@aubin760]

That was fantastic, we need other episodes of this awesomeness !

[@treycool9565]

I Fucking Love Marisha & Babs’ repartee

[@count_bear]

This is both entertaining AND educational !!! WOW !

[@davidparkes7741]

Not edubational though.

[@martinjrgensen8234]

Two of my all time favorite people! Love Babs work, especially Motor Crush which is heckin fantastic

[@dr.funkenstein2775]

I drew along with it. Haven't drawn a portrait in 30 years, but it turned out ok considering. Would love to see some more of Babs.

[@silkshines00]

let *clap* beau *clap* be *clap* hairy!!!

[@annenixda4800]

I haven't drawn since I finished college years ago, but this really makes me want to pick it up again. Some of the tips / guides that Babs gave were things I remember from learning it myself back when, and so much new stuff to try out...!

[@sarahfischer4064]

We want more of this!!! The art work is such a big part of D&D!

[@rafeyrafe]

I would LOVE to see more of this!!! I want to see more of the CR cast try to draw and maybe have some different artists come in!!! This was super fun. I hope to see more in the future!

[@andreklinge4052]

12:56 Oh damn that hits really hard to be honest. I certainly liked to draw a lot back in the days but then THAT pretty much happened to me. I envy Artist for their skill and determination.

[@entheogenicmonk7521]

PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES!

[@charliescheirmann2926]

I would like to appreciate Marisha's theater nerd coming out at 47:17 when she said "Thank you 20" lol

[@gregputnam7243]

I love the energy of this video. Well first off, I love "Everything Is Content, " I have been a little busy with life but I try to catch every episode or binge what I miss. I really like this episode: it is super casual, you both are motivating for concept artists, you got ideas going for some of my D&D characters, and I feel inspired now so thank you

[@robgalen4369]

I love this video! Please do the inking as well! It would be great if this was a series where the players draw their characters with Babs Tarr. She is so fantastic and brings lots of her bright personality the table and is a joy to learn from.

[@Alkonium]

"Follow your gut?" What if I don't have that kind of metaphorical gut? Obviously I have a literal gut.

[@jonmichael6746]

I would KILL to have a tablet like that

[@DeinosDinos]

This happened four years ago and I'd have loved it if CR decided to do a thing or two with Drawfee, that would be amazing

[@onewingedangelo1611]

Is it just my screen or is there way too much glare on the paper? I can't see anything Marisha is drawing.

[@MichaelaKekel]

MAKE MORE OF THIS PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was nice , fun, relaxing and educational :)

[@morevar3950]

Bab's is so warm and lovely. I need more videos with her lol.

[@jennijames1727]

Loved Loved Loved this. Inspires me to start drawing again after years and years. :)

[@vishaansingh1019]

Just a question, but whatever happened to C1's artist? She's still around on Patreon, but they stopped having her do official artwork and Lilith's plotline was never brought up again after her appearance in C1.

[@ChrundleKelly]

I miss her so.

[@KoKoAkiko]

They just wanted to bring in a new artist for the new campaign.

[@jazzvieadnan3779]

You mean Kit Buss? She's still active on the community, and speaking of Lilith, she's currently released a comic based on what happens after Lilith's encounter with Vox Machina

[@TheKroganMaster]

Well to be fair a few plotlines of characters were dropped in C1 since the guess weren't the main protags. As for her in general, I know she got married...so it could have to do with that? Mayne she moved on to other projects or what have you. I think I hear them speak in a good tone of her during C2 at some point...so I think there is no ill will.

[@Ziergon]

When they introduced the art for C2 they stated that Kit, the C1 artist was great, but they wanted to give someone else the opportunity to be the C2 artist. It spreads the recognition and gives each "season" a distinct look. If/when C3 happens, they will almost certainly be picking a third artist. As for her character, Lillith, she was a guest played by someone from the UK. The logistics involved in getting her back are such that expecting her to have a full fleshed out character arc is a bit optimistic. I mean, they can barely get Ash-o-ley on, and she's "main cast."

[@blutiful5875]

Loved this! But it's such a pet peeve of mine when people draw on other people's drawings. Like, even if you're trying to teach, *show* them, don't do it for them.

[@JasperForge]

I love both Batgirl and Motor Crush

[@jodys9307]

This is so amazing. I've always wanted to learn to draw but would get easily discouraged due to my perfectionist nature. It's so cool to be learning along with Marisha.

[@Seshokii]

This is actually really cool. I am planning on drawing every player character in our group over the past 2.5 years. Which is like over 40 character, because I am the only one who draws their character and I don't want to forget all the characters and experiences we've had.

[@maxinestarkywillow]

That was awesome. More art of the cast! Although after Sam's attempt at drawing everyone last campaign I am not looking forward to his episode :'D Love everything you put out, Marisha. xx

[@baka_yu9343]

I'd love both a longer conversation because this was so fun to watch and helpful, and I'd love if the entire cast tried to draw their characters too! I think some others floated that idea in the comments too and I'd like to agree with that. ;)

[@DarkArquak]

Great job Marisha, Great teaching Babs! You improved a ton just in one hour :D

[@EHLarson]

I'd love to see more of these: teach Sam how to draw Nott.

[@kimberlyyuruki7243]

Yes! Longer conversation! Part Two: Inking!! Babs is beautiful, more pls.

[@aaronlabeau1007]

That was pretty great. Would love to see more of this.

[@human_collector0]

i have seen this process a billion times and I love it every time.

[@Dutchofclass]

babs is sooooo fantastically talented :) (and i'm not gonna lie, very pretty) great to see her on this show !

[@kaitlinandesign6574]

I adore Babs. Motor Crush is one of my favorite comics I've ever had. She's the talentedest.

[@modernchow]

yes more for sure~! Art is so closely tied with CR, definitely want to see the various cast members involved too!

[@aspenforest732]

Huh, I had forgotten about the circle as the start. I've gotten so used to basic face shape then the lines. I'm currently working on progress drawings to show someone starting out in art, and I will definitely refer them to this video. I've always heard the neck starts at the ears/jaw, but I guess it's a stylistic thing. I should finish my drawing of that one guest's dragonborn sorceress. I just kept forgetting to continue working on it

[@kuroinokitsune]

sorry for answering on so old comment but "neck starts at ear" not only stylistic thing - it is anatomical. Sternocleidomastoid attaches right behind ear and from most points of view forms neck shape. So for someone with small amount of body fat it will be heavily noticeable. I do thing that it is useful to know where artists "rules" come from, and the comment mainly for future readers, sorry if I somehow insulted you, that was not the intention

[@Andromeda7Music]

This was awesome! more please more tutorials teaching you guys to draw! much fun to follow along!

[@lark222]

Is anyone else struggling with proportions?? @Babs please help?? I LOVE LOVE LOVE this video and I cannot wait for pub draw!!

[@domenico5815]

I loved drawing as a kid. My mom is an artist, and she always incentivated us, and i continued doing it. I've been depressed since i was 11, and through 11-15 i'd just draw everyday, usually harry potter characters (which is ironic because jkr is a terf and im a trans dude). But im a very insecure person, and my brother and his girlfriend at the time were extremely critic, and even though they gave me suggestions bc they wanted to help me, my insecure ass became afraid of mistakes to the point of me, now, pratically ruining a sheet of paper everytime i draw bc i spend hours drawing and erasing a single line. in quarentine, i basically stopped drawing due to that and the lack of motivation to do anything. ive tried a few times, watching some guides and youtubers, but i just started having anxiety crisis and gave up. seeing this, knowing that i'd draw a character i like while watching marisha, who i love, i decided to give it a shot. it's def not good, but i didnt give up in the process and that's something. babs is a great drawer and an amazing teacher, and this might just be what i needed to get back to drawing.

[@presidentanarchy7235]

Heard the word "art" and I was hooked

[@dndean7459]

I'd like to see Travis draw fjord

[@Sappho_One]

Babs is fucking amazing, she is SO FUNNY! Plz bring her back!

[@johncage5368]

That was great! Very helpful. More of it, please.

[@pwnyboy9714]

...Well done, Marisha. For someone who has no experience besides highschool, your proportions are pretty spot on!

[@hopefillledday9026]

This is awesome, I really enjoyed this and drawing along. I can't wait for the series! :D

[@jenniferasturt579]

Please do more of these it was such fun to watch!

[@jackieheezen424]

I would definitely love more videos like this, please!
