Grumpy Alien Space Explorer DRAW WITH ME Ep 20

[@NeonHekinJellies]

The amount of inspiration I get from Dina’s designs in ungodly. Fly high Dina, I’m never going to forget you and the impact you had on my life.

[@lornawestwick6704]

Shes soooo cool, and Waffles would sooooo love the blush 😊

[@withrynz962]

agree 😁

[@paceycage]

As soon as you said "this video is for anyone who needs to get back into drawing right now" I felt so targeted. We been knew.

[@angellamorgan111]

Kacie .C right 😔👊🏼

[@emmajharrington426]

Dina doing line art gives me more satisfaction than necessary.

[@AshBHall]

I think you should call her Ileah (pronounced aye-lee-ah) she’s the daughter of a space captain and has always wanted to join the space academy. She gets into the academy as the youngest recruit they’ve ever had and halfway through her training, her father and his crew disappear. So she quits the academy, steals a ship, and travels through the galaxies searching for her father and his lost crew. She encounters many adventures along the way and sometimes gets into trouble. She won’t stop searching until she’s found her father. She learns all the tricks to exploring and navigating the complexities of the various intergalactic governments as well as learning how to make money be it through smuggling, pirating, or the occasional treasure hunt. Such a cool, strong character! Love it!

[@marveludus]

Sometimes I don't really get why you do stuff, but instead of worrying I think "Wow, I don't like this... I just can't wait for her to completely transform it with just a few strokes!" Like, it's so amazing to me how you can experiment and be (or seem) confident. And if it doesn't turn out perfect I know I just have to wait and you will make it absolutely beautiful without fail.

[@titafiser305]

She could be a traveler, but she's a badass and she steals some cool stuff across the galaxy and has her own spaceship/home where she has a room whit all the things, and she could have a large space cat... wow I really have a lot of ideas. Her name could be Xina. idk

[@nekochii911]

Space pirate ❤

[@nectarinn3]

Yep, sounds about right. But consider, instead of a space cat, maybe a space snekk?

[@nightcollapse]

@@nectarinn3 YES giant flying space snek

[@pinkflower7510]

Can't wait till I'm able to be done with school today so I can draw too lol. I love drawing along with your videos! They are so motivating and relaxing

[@HART-sk3bz]

I think Astrid would be a good name for her

[@MrJilliank]

This character/postcard gave me such 80s, space rock opera, Michael Jackson vibes, I loved it

[@mariesophieplan3243]

Yay. What a bad day and now I finally have something to smile about. Thanks for making my day a little bit better 🤗❤

[@divinesolstice3744]

space detective? traveling across the galaxy begrudgingly helping people and solving cases

[@xyphies8156]

what if part of her backstory is that her mom is a legendary explorer and collector and she grew up following her mom around on her ship but now she works alone cause her mom is....hmm idunno? maybe in space jail lol? or maybe she’s retired haha. she just gives me that kind of “grew up under a powerful parental figure’s care so she inherited a lot of her parents traits and skills through teaching and training” type vibe :) i love her though she’s so cool

[@kadriendietz6886]

What if she had a little creature that comunicated with her telepathically that told her where to go? And what if because shes so grumpy, the creature is really the only thing she is soft for?

[@liljenborg2517]

Call her Gase (for Grumpy alien space explorer). Her blog posts could be her "rant of the day" about the other officers on her explorer ship (like the most recent space babe the Captain is having a yet another fling with).

[@jennamanninen203]

Lilac would be lovely name for her!

[@pandalovewater4533]

Maybe she could be a big sister to her many siblings,she is very independent strong and rebellious. I dont know why she just looks so cool and confident ❤👊🤗👍😋

[@jessjones3224]

I feel like she could have a sidekick with her on her travels! like a little hovering robot who brings up a map and translates different languages for her ! something like rotom dex!!

[@oiiister]

I was feeling so art blocked the whole week and couldn't shake it it off even for a tiny bit, but seeing your videos always helps me get back on track and inspired! I love every single video you put out and honestly, thank you for being such an amazing artist and from waht I gather such a kind person. You're absolutely fantastic Dina. ❤️

[@kaylanichols7239]

The name Alara came to mind when I first saw her I can see her being an adventurous spaceship navigator/ pilot for a cartography company to survey new planets. Gets lost in her wanderings and has problems with authority. Curiosity got her into the company and has almost killed the proverbial cat multitudes of times. Im sure I could go on and on and make up a whole thing if I let myself. No matter who she is shes a beautiful character.

[@emilylaws453]

She could be a space princes!

[@Teaberry-fr8qn]

Have u ever thought of doing a line art with notebook paper where like the lines are pulled back and u have a character either under the lines or steping into a world or showing a world etc. Think that be awesome to see with some of ur characters

[@Imagine8it]

Hey Dina! I love your artwork and your videos! I can relate to being impatient and not wanting to let things dry :'D . I highly suggest getting an embossing gun. Its just a little hot air gun. Like a hair dryer but it works way faster than a high dryer and it's smaller and less clunky. I got on one amazon for about $13 so they are very affordable. You could also check thrift stores for hair dryers :)

[@janelleblake4016]

this is so stunning, you're such an inspiring and amazing artist!

[@KatieZebra55]

Maybe she's an alien cleaner on a starship a bit like Starfleet in Star Trek. She's grumpy because she hates cleaning and believes she could be the captain. They travel around to new galaxies when they get to new planets she sneaks out to do her own exploring. How about Orrita (O-reeta) like the constellation Orion? Really thought the pet you sketched first looked like one of Rin's Blub fish.

[@jessic.6300]

You should make her pilot's license :0 she should totally have a super grumpy unflattering photo with like messy hair and stuff xD

[@dozakeet]

I would absolutely love to follow an Instagram about her! it sounds like so much fun to hear what her travels could be, you could design new landscapes/people/animals for her to find and interact with :D

[@mariadrawsalot]

I love your imagination, it’s so fun to see everything you come up with. 😍

[@ladynemhesis]

her eyes are captivating!!

[@pinkifox6393]

I LOVE THIS! Dina you are such an inspiration for me and many other people! I hope you know we love you and we love your art! Keep up the great work!!!

[@riderbydark729]

A video on character construct, drawing face(character of all kinds ) features

[@WeblightDreams]

Beautiful piece, really like this character. :) And good luck on the Kickstarter campaign.

[@BDiva97]

She is soo cute..I think she is grumpy because she was not ment to stay on earth...her spaceship is broken... so she is exploring ways to get home to her own planet..

[@_.Lleiyo._]

she looks soo so cool!! love her!! 😍❤ and she reminds me of rihanna somehow... am i the only one seeing similarities to riri?? 🤔🤔☺🙃 i'm a huge fan of your work!! 😍👍 bless 🙂

[@aliced.9170]

I think a cool name for her would be cosmo or nova

[@mjpete27]

I saw the name Nova in another comment, as well as a thief for a Trade or Job! Your so talented and I am so glad the Kickstarter has funded! SO COOL! I look forward to your videos and Just want you to know that they and YOU are appreciated! Have a lovely day!

[@joan_of_snark]

She should be some sort of planetary scout for an empire/organization of some kind

[@ermalando4401]

ayyy i just sat down with my tea

[@yannna_yan]

If only she had a space cat

[@MYLife-ow1zi]

so cool drawing~! awesome

[@holisticleedriven8532]

How coincidental! Today's Sketch A Day prompt is "galaxy." I drew Picard while you worked on this piece. Posting!

[@BuoyB]

it reminds me of the Battleborn character/art style! super gorgeous

[@alfishbein5332]

Very much enjoying drawing along to this. It turned out so beautiful!

[@teresamazotti1315]

Get a Darice heat gun also called a heat tool. I have one and love it for my watercolor.

[@paolumouse]

The title makes me excited, I love it already!

[@juliad8471]

Love you and your art so so much Dina!!!💛💛

[@hyemina]

Ate the beginning, It made me say "WOW" and then I went back to the beginning again after finishing the video. It is just so amazing! I want to be a great artist like you! :D

[@paschachan4946]

really beautiful drawing!! name suggestions: Bloranna Dexy (sort for Dexytella) and last one Andromeda

[@karensweetland628]

Hun I love her I hope you make a story about her. ♥️

[@generic2220]

You can't just say you want to give her a Instagram then NOT give her an Instagram- I need to stan this woman. She's too perfect to not stan.

[@sharonsartisticcorner1195]

She looks less like an explorer, and more like a priestess that is forced into finding a new home for her species. Or maybe she just lost one of her apprentices for the tenth time that day and she is done with life having to look for him.

[@SimplyHeidi_]

These are so pretty!!!!💗 I am obsessed with this and just your channel in general!!💕

[@adrianaobando2631]

Like your draws

[@khufuhollyjr4577]

I believe that this is ST311A, but most people call her stella. She is an interstellar (interStella 😅) ambassador from planet Zaitrax and was sent to Earth to help humans fix the Earth and stop killing it. She is upset with her higher ups because she doesn't want to deal with such a primitive species of life form. She finds humans ill informed and poorly educated and strives to reconnect us to our ties with the Earth.

[@mothking2494]

this is so cool, i love her so much!

[@thatsweetdemon3643]

Nicely done! I loved watching this

[@JonathanBlido]

Hooray!! Another video! :D i've been looking forward to it the whole week (i love you and everything you do and i am exited for the snow cat prince stretch goal to be revealed

[@Miggeamakes]

I love her!!! She's very fun and I love her colours with the metallic touches 😍😍😍yassssssssss

[@allison_is_sleepy]

i love this character so much its amazing!!

[@ArtofCodaleia]

I love her design and colors ! And that expression ! loved it ! I'm always so surprised not to see this pencil lines smudge under the watercolor. Do they never smudge at all ?

[@crazyhannahcreations9806]

Oh my gosh! I love your alien design! She's so cool looking! :D Watching these draw with me videos are relaxing to watch and also fun to sketch along!

[@Ben_-pp6nn]

Seventh yay! Sometimes I don’t know what I’d do without your videos

[@Justyoutubek]

Love it

[@hogmora3]

yep.

[@JonathanBlido]

Hej

[@saramad9477]

This is one of your best works so far in my opinion! I just fell in love with it, the character is amazingggg aaah ♥♥♥ Keep it up! :D

[@simplychloeart9486]

she looks so damn cute! I love her colours and face the most 💕

[@FabiTheSnake]

Gabriel maybe? Just a random idea. Or Kolumbia?

[@meepitydoodle]

Yayyy!!! I love your work!!! Haha I had a relatively bad day today and this was just such a lovely thing to see on my phone!! 💛💛

[@diegomaragnoli5723]

Hi Dina! Yeeeee new video!!! Thank u so much, It Will be fantastic as always!

[@jadonrowe273]

Since she is like out worldly you should give her the most normal name Catherine

[@aleqsgecko5957]

This was an excuse for showing us her alien from area 51.

[@emilevi]

You are a huge inspiration and motivation to draw- keep it up :D Btw, some crappy name suggestions: Allyn Neruda Vix(short for vextornis

[@emmasmith1141]

Aw it always look so good and it really helps me be creative bc I'm not lol but I always love all of your uploads 💓💓

[@rainbowsomeone]

Maybe her name is Korvra. Maybe her parents are nobles on the brink of poverty, so they arranged a marriage for her to a pretty wealthy noble but she didn’t like that and ran away to another planet. Maybe she’s a space pirate? Idk, but your drawing is really pretty ^_^

[@Myst_Eerie_Isle]

I've been feeling really lost in my art lately, I'm wondering if working in traditional for a while will help. Do you feel that switching up your medium helps when you're in a funk? I also love how you just use pencil for your lineart instead of ink.

[@winterv9970]

Hate to be that person but I’m genuinely curious what the grey fine liner esc pen (with the Japanese? text) is that you were using toward the end. I’ve never seen it before and my stationary obsessed heart is beyond curious!! Looks like it works so smoothly and has a nice flow!

[@deadstick-my3wg]

In a way see you in her

[@lexibyday9504]

you can buy pencil extenders? I NEED ONE!

[@mjahappy]

maybe Dis for a name? means goddess/seeress in old norse (and you can make dis/diss puns)

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

No it doesn't? Seeress is völva, and most if not all god titles have 'as' or 'aes' as the first syllable, on account of the _aes_ -ir being the main gods?

[@mjahappy]

sorry, I'm just going off of what a bunch of sites that i use to name characters say "dis = 'wise woman', 'seeress' [6] dîs = 'goddess' [6] " ( www.nordicnames.de/wiki/DIS ) "dís "goddess; woman, lady; sister" or dis "wise woman, seeress; woman, virgin"." ( www.behindthename.com/name/eirdi10s/submitted ) "The basic meaning of the word dís is "goddess"." "Although Snorri Sturluson does not mention the dísir in the Prose Edda, he does list Vanadís-'dís of the Vanir'- as a name for Freyja, and öndurdís-'snow-shoe dís'-as a name for Skaði.[23]Lotte Motz suggested that dís was the original Old Norse word for 'goddess' and had been replaced later by ásynja, which is simply the feminine of áss.[24]" ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%ADs )

[@naomo1321]

what if her pet was her compass?

[@debramartinez1975]

Ah! She's so neat! Maybe she's grumpy because as part of being an explorer she observes native wildlife for all the different planets and she has noted a decrease in biodiversity and she keeps telling people that they need to stop hunting/destroying ecosystems/polluting/etc and no one listens so (as a throwback to that one sketch you made where she's holding a pet) since no one listens she has taken it on herself to help those species in decline by smuggling the animals into refuges to help bolster their numbers in a safe place. And she's just angry at everyone in general because of all the people that refused to listen to her.

[@ossie200]

WHO ARE THE 9 PEOPLE WHO DISLIKED THIS. wtf?

[@meilibruce7747]

if thanos had another daughter

[@Panpanpaja]

I think she should be named Alona - sounds like "a loner", she seems to be the kind of person who likes to be on their own.

[@pinkflower7510]

Yas! I'm so early! Omg so excited 😁💕

[@Юленцето13]

СOOL. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😹😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Bruto.Marianna]

it's like undyne from undertale videogames!!! i LOVE IT!!!!

[@raymagu2044]

Maybe Anya for a name

[@alienzilyma6853]

My patience is just me procrastinating

[@Ohmygodtheykilledkennyy]

The blacks of the eyes could also be the pupils

[@izzybizzybeePie]

For a name, how about Mayra Ren

[@lenapelham976]

How about the name "Osa" like the explorer/adventurer Osa Leighty.

[@those_art_cookies]

I love her so much already send help

[@Bruto.Marianna]

The character in my profile XD

[@arsenichorlacher6055]

I think her name should be Stella Black but her friends call her S. B.

[@queenhalalie8266]

i feel like shes some kind of runaway.

[@jindrexdimaala3904]

She thinks she's bad at sketching. BRUH I CANT EVEN DRAW A FACE RIGHT

[@jaimevanberkel6096]
