Hey everyone, thank you so much for all your love on this video! I am working on part 2 as we speak ^^ In other news, I have a holiday sale going on in my shop until the 22nd of November, for 20% off everything, including 9 new prints and 3 new stickers. Link to my shop is in the description if you would like to check it out! I hope you are all well!

[@HeatherBryant22]

I didn’t care if you did InkTober, I just was happy to see you posted! Girl, I’ve missed you!

[@myriamtillson]

Aw, thank you so much Heather! I missed uploading too, but my videos take so long now, haha

[@JorineAdinda]

Me too! Love the editing of this video :) I rather have less video's of this high quality than more video's of lower quality. It's really insightful to learn about your creative process. It helps me to be less harsh on myself when the process doesn't go as smoothly as i want... you show that it doesn't mean that the outcome will be bad :)

[@BadBoy-ls5vn]

I wold love that you post tutorials of how to sketch some of these paintings and ideas....they're so touching for me...wow...really wow

[@ildikomb]

I love your works. You are so creative. But the first time I started to watch your videos because of your voice. So calming.

[@pewdielover92512]

I love your concepts... theyre so inspiring. its what I try to do but I dont have the imagination to think of

[@creatingwithangie1111]

You explain the process so perfect - 🥰

[@Freedaaa]

They are so desperately beautiful and go so deep into emotion and illustrate the general status of "being lost" but not without hope... the need to realise the necessity of "salvation" ... pure emotion. great skills and insights. Thank you for sharing

[@myriamtillson]

Thank you, that means the world to read.

[@fuzzydragons]

really good use of quarantine 😀 its great seeing how you work

[@weewooweewoo906]

i cannot wait for part 2!!!! aaahh!!!

[@myriamtillson]

Thank youuu! That means so much!

[@lharts8379]

I love ur art and I heavily respect it so much ....ur art gives me reason for still continuing my. Art and not being scared ofi being to odd and that I need to keep challenging myself. ❤️

[@myriamtillson]

You have no idea how encouraging that is to hear, knowing my art helps others keep going with theirs is some of the best compliments. You have the right attitude, keep going!

[@effy2848]

Seeing how you work and need to take breaks, change your mind and switch ideas is super validating. When I experience those stop-start moments it is so confusing and can be difficult to appreciate as part of the process rather than a hinderance. Thank you for modeling a healthy attitude around those moments. Appreciate you sharing so much of your process so honestly with us.

[@myriamtillson]

I'm glad to hear that! I wish I could show even more of the nitty-gritty, as it is the sort of thing I really wanted to see from the people I admired growing up, but my videos would be too damn long, haha. Thank you so much for watching and voicing your appreciation.

[@effy2848]

@@myriamtillson I recognize that you're doing a lot for the art community & mental health awareness; do not burn out trying to give more than you're able to or more than you want to. Those who understand will accept what you so generously offer. Just knowing folx like you are willing to work as hard as you do to give as much as you do for free. Plus you take the time to talk us through your processes and show us how you balance life and your art (rather playing yourself as a character who only appears one dimensionally of highly polished) *IS* valuable to...well, humanity.

[@JL-dy2iy]

wow, you make the prep process seem very enjoyable. I always end up skipping it and it's a hit or miss if I like the piece in the end. I think I'll try something like this more in the future. A reminder the journey is as important as the destination ^_^

[@bridgitbianco5593]

Your work is Amazing !!!

[@WeblightDreams]

Big fan of your works, great progress and very beautiful sketches. Can't wait to see their final look.

[@bl0tt44]

you have the coolest, most beautiful complicated mind. this kind of work has not been seen since dali. you should be in the tate xxx

[@myriamtillson]

You are very kind, thank you, that is some very high praise, woaw !

[@Ella-ss7we]

I missed your videos,welcome back ❤️❤️❤️

[@KirsiJulkuArt]

I love your creativity and really liked all the concepts! I am just amazed!

[@myriamtillson]

Thank you ever so much Kirsi!

[@DarkWhimsicalArt]

Very interesting. Loved your ideas.

[@eymenarts]

Had a rough day in terms of school work, but I can finally sit down and relax, watching your process for your beautiful pieces! Thank you for this video 🥺❤️

[@myriamtillson]

Sorry about your rough day, I hope the next will be better! Thank you for watching ^^

[@tefitefilu]

i really love you so much you don't know how much

[@AriaMaryam]

Your work is very much transgressive and I love it. I'm a Transgressive writer and all these inspire me to write.

[@MinorScalesMajorFuckups]

Wow i love your ideas! So much

[@Pstrwldchld]

yay!! love to see all the preparation into all those pieces you've painted! And I love the shots of you just living!!!

[@Bexx74]

Cant wait to see the finished paintings. I love watching your process. Your so talented. Thank you for the hard work on this upload.

[@vulcandarthvader6617]

So nice to see you after soooooo long! 😀Love you! May the force always be with you!!! 🖖🏼

[@myriamtillson]

Thank you, same to you! ^^

[@Astharia]

There is in my eyes something very real about your motives. When I explore why I feel certain things in my body I see very similar things in my minds eye.

[@SashaFitzgerald]

I really admire your prep phase for paintings! That is a lot of work! I am super excited to see the finished works in your next vlog. Oh, and my mom watched a bit and said you were soooo pretty :D

[@myriamtillson]

Thank you! I used to shy away from the prep work as it indeed takes a while, but I now find that it really benefits my process and I thoroughly enjoy it now! Say thank you to your mum for me!

[@touisbetterthanpi]

Can’t wait to see the finished pieces! But also really grateful to see the whole process

[@mickeyzeckendorf3886]

You're back!! And with such high quality content i'm positively drooling 0.0

[@myriamtillson]

Ah thank you so much, that means a lot!

[@CJShopland_Art]

I’ve decided I need to plan and sketch more even though my whole brand is not planning. I just mean not getting so bogged down and frozen by it but some sketches for compositions and overall idea might help 😅😀

[@millieb3823]

I'm sso sad I never saw this video in my subscription box I judt got the notification for the new one and was like wait there was another one!! But now I have two to watch so yeyyy aha!

[@annaleelangnes9153]

I love your art! It always makes me want to explore into deeper ideas and meanings in my own art ❤❤ thank you for making this time at home more productive.

[@arijayari1076]

i'm glad to see one of your videos again, watching you is always so blissful. You are beautiful ,your art is beautiful and the videos you make are wholesome . Thank you for showing us your process and such parts of your life in such down to earth way , as we tend to forget usually how much effort making art takes and often fall into comparisons and feeling not good enough . Watching this video reminded me of the first time i saw vangogh's sketches nd thumbnails, i was going through a hard time and struggling with the art i make and life back then . your video right now just had the same reviving effect on me. I am really excited to see the final paintings

[@ihopemynameisalice]

I love long videos! Loved this. It helped calm my anxiety on a rough day.

[@michalenejames557]

I have too many compliments for you, so I'm going to sum it up with, I love you, I love your art, and I loved your video (including the length). I hope you're able to read this, because your artistic vision and creativity is what inspires me to create art. I hope you have a wonderful day, and keep doing what you're doing.

[@myriamtillson]

Haha, you are super sweet, thank you :) That means the world and really helps keep me motivated to make these, thank you! I hope you are well yourself

[@jeroenstout9104]

Does she like ALL the comments? 😲😲 You are great at making art and thank you so much for sharing your whole process! It is quite brave for an artist to do so, I imagine! The video quality is also outstanding 😄

[@sandramelanija1939]

I feel very inspired! It’s crazy how you create so many different concepts ✨

[@rvg55]

Missed your videos and glad to see you back. Great work as always. Take care.

[@myriamtillson]

Thank you Virginia, it is always lovely to read a comment from you! I hope you are well yourself!

[@alexj4239]

loved this!! can’t wait for part 2, glad you’re doing well

[@WindspielArt]

when you said you will end the video now because it is long already my first thought was "Wait what, no it wasn't long!" then I checked the timestamp xD ok maybe objektiv it was long, but it didn't felt that way! liked it. And I'm glad you didn't decide to remove the cooking shots or the pick your own farm! can't wait for the next video :D

[@myriamtillson]

Haha, thank you Christina, that made me feel a lot better about the absurd length of my videos XD I'm so glad you enjoy my content!

Please don’t apologize 🥰❣️good to see you though🌟Blessed be

I find your work progress really inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing, I also love your sketchbook, which sketchbook do you use? 💕💕💕

I was curious what kind of theme do you describe your art and I think it’s really cool

heeey good to see you again as always haha.

Thank you Donna! ^^

[@eternalbliss5896]

I miss your still life studies

[@Kat-dx9dt]

may i ask a selfish question - what kind of printers do you recommend for prints? pretty discouraged with the search for budget option currently. sorry and thank you so much if you choose to answer!

[@myriamtillson]

I'm more than happy to answer, I get that question a lot, but I'm afraid I wouldn't call my option budget friendly T_T I use the Canon Pixma Pro 100-S. It isn't cheap but also isn't the most expensive out there and it worth the expense as it is very good quality!

[@rochellephillips3054]

Do u have any recommendations for drawing references books? I like having the images to study

[@chelzeajay38]

I missed you! Hope you are doing well. 🧡

Thank you Chelzea, I hope you are well too!

[@swathilakshmi880]

Did you have a skills are course

[@swift_sixx4860]

I love your sketches, and the process you do to come up with a finished piece. But I get the feeling that you procrastinate too much. I know beauty and quality shouldnt be rushed. But plz hurry up,:/ I really want to see the finished products.
