I am 43 and you inspired me to begin drawing, using Gouache and other mediums! Thank You for helping me know it's not too late for a new hobby! I feel a bit weird sometimes drawing mermaids with different colored skin but it's how I found how to make myself happy!

[@imawonder]

I'm so glad!

[@chocolateicecreamlove8823]

that's amazing!!

[@indie1193]

this is so cool!! congrats on finding another thing to give you happiness 🥰

[@ritlua]

I've recently clicked with the idea of "Perfectionism" as a block to enjoying creating art. Listening to how others get through their blocks is always inspiring. Also, deffo adding these paint markers to my Posca collection. They have such a soft, less opaque look to them that goes so well with the vibrant Poscas.

[@alihowell6038]

I'm obsessed with the snake in a party hat!! Look at him, I don't know what slitherly little sneck thing he's done but he's so proud.

[@maxillustrations8380]

Art block is always my biggest enemy, i feel like its always there in the background staring at me like 👁👄👁

[@imawonder]

I believe in you!

[@maxillustrations8380]

​@@imawonder aha thank you!! I love ur art btw!

[@georginaharmon6692]

I love the tiger so much, so vibrant!

[@xmoshyMCCOY]

I'm several months late, but oh my glob, the 90's baby in me is so happy watching this! All the nostalgia! Thank you!

[@kay-ls7iq]

every time i hear “the swan princess” my brain goes “ what else i s t h e r e? “

[@imawonder]

IS BEAUTY ALL THAT MATTERS TO YOU!? that scene kills me everytime

[@tl3743]

“ you should write a book ‘how to offend women in 5 syllables or less’ .

[@fanastyfinder]

I love how you systematically went about coloring these, just seeing that colorblock technique in action was so satisfying~

[@caitydesu708]

The Swan Princess is so underrated, I am so happy you drew her and I totally relate to what you said -- The Swan Princess isn't something I've thought about in so long but watching you draw this gave me such a smile!

[@GoldArtsYT]

THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@cinnamoncottage7041]

I’m happy because she picked mine for her to draw JD. I love your art so much! This was really helpful! 🤍

[@imawonder]

Yaayy thank you for suggesting him!!! I love Heathers! Glad you thought so!

[@ArtSickChic]

Of all the content I've come across on KZbin, my absolute favorite videos to watch are the ones of you working in your sketchbook with alcohol & paint markers. Hands-down, all-time favorite. For reasons I can't effectively verbalize, these videos have become the first thing I hope to see every time I begin to scroll through my subscription feed.

[@imawonder]

AW wow, I'm honoured thank you! I have a lot of fun making them :)

[@manonguinchard5829]

Mushu is so so cute, favorite drawing with the snake 😍😍

[@stencilfox5]

This is very motivating I recently just got myself a set of 80 markers and this helps me alot to just testing them out and see the range of the colors I have and doodling helps get creative juice flowing. 🐅👏

[@jennab6329]

Haha good luck limiting your color palette

[@imawonder]

So exciting!! Have fun creating!

[@Pixilated_for_life]

Please make these illustrations into a sticker set!😍🥺 Also, art block is an artists worst enemy, and it will always be there even when we don't experience it👻

[@AnArtGirl]

Oml can’t waittt

[@Janna_Ash]

I loved the little walk down memory lane. I miss my 90s childhood lol. Since you know Swan Princess and Anastasia, who else remembers Thumbalina? Especially the toad that was voiced and modeled after Charo lol?

[@six.studios]

I NEVER KNEW HOW BADLY I NEEDED TO SEE YOU DRAW JD UNTIL THIS VERY MOMENT IM SCREAMING

[@imawonder]

WE LOVE A BAD BOY >:)

[@Natalie-py8ld]

that little fluffy panda face is so cute

[@juliarucker6238]

Me who studied cat anatomy to be able to draw any type of cat from memory: *draws a weird blob with ears* Imawomder: *draws a fricking amazing tiger that im so proud and jealous of*

[@macyshea9423]

You mentioned watching shows you watched as a kid during the pandemic and I have been doing the same thing! Kim possible is my latest rewatch

[@imawonder]

Omg loove Kim Possible!!

[@nenybuns]

Your tiger and snek turned out sooo cute!!

[@quinn5130]

I love your style for Daria!!!!

[@lornawestwick6704]

The Swan Princess and Anastasia are so underrated it bugs me. I love them sooo much and it makes me happy to think about them. Thank you for picking Odette.x

[@AngelTh3Weirdo]

Hiii Tina!!! I just came back from eating again :D Excited to watch your videos!!!

[@Jess-Summerbaby]

I really love your voiceovers and watching the colors you choose ❤

[@TheGreenPoncle]

omg, I bought these Acrylic Markers from Deserre's a few months ago and I didnt really know how to use them. Thank goodness you made a video of it!

[@booty.picasso]

the moment you mentioned Anastasia, I started singing Once Upon a December.

[@imawonder]

RIGHT, so iconic

[@curtisdrago]

Such beautiful artwork. I love the colors. The tiger and Mushu stood out to me and I love them so much.

[@imawonder]

Thank you so much!

[@ryujinsthirdeye169]

Thank you I felt really stuck and drawing along with you really helped!!!

My suggestion was Mushu 🥰 I’m happy you did it

[@ZoeLeigh01]

[@imawonder]

Hahaha, man I really need to check out the musical one day!

[@milaronyartgallery4667]

I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in this painting. I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well. Thanks...

[@wecan_builda_tree6353]

Awe! I suggested the snake! I’m so glad you had fun drawing him💕

[@imawonder]

Thanks for the idea!

[@monikaazariah9237]

This is perfect timing ....I just bought a mixed media sketchbook and a bunch of Ohuhu markers 🙏🥰

[@imawonder]

Hope you enjoy it!

@@imawonder I had some very bad days and this made me feel so calm, like there's no pressure at anything. Thanks a lot wonder 🌼

[@MrsQuam]

This screams Lisa Frank to me and I am HERE FOR IT

[@sarahmichelle7710]

OMG I love it! I love everything you do🥺❤️❤️ I'm about to buy some markers, based on your experience, which ones do you recommend, Ohuhu or Arrtx?

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much! Honestly they feel the same to me haha

[@MrsQuam]

PS these need to be stickers please and thank you!!! 😍😍😍

[@kiayahb8893]

Came at the perfect time. I’ve been dealing with art block for the past 3 days!! 😭

[@imawonder]

Aw man!! I hope you're able to shake it off

[@Sammy_47]

My goodness I feel all of those types of blocks from time to time, lol Especially when you have an idea, sketch it out but it doesn't look like how you want it; I know a chunk of my issues come from comparing my drawings to other artists. I'm trying not to, but it's easier said than done 😔

[@imawonder]

You and me both! Sending you lots of encouragement!

[@Sammy_47]

@@imawonder 🙂 thanks bunches

[@kyleshitman458]

please do more videos like this, I love all your doodles

[@imawonder]

So glad to hear that! I really enjoyed doing this :D

Love you drawing and your voice ❤️ miss ya 💋

[@rizwanzaman1793]

You're a godsend ;---; And you deserve so much more views

[@imawonder]

Aww thank you so much!

[@mzebony]

How did the mix media paper hold up to both types of mediums? Deserres is my go to store as well, followed by Curry’s. Had to put on some enabler protection, but I don’t think it worked. I need to check out their paint pens since I already have their alcohol markers. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art and stay safe 💜💙💛

[@imawonder]

The mixed media paper held up quite well! There was a tiny bit of pilling with the paint markers but waay less than I normally experience with many papers!

[@montanadavenport4110]

I would die to have theta tiger a print on my wall!

[@EnisuRosetta]

My dad used to say “greetings and salutations” every time he would greet someone. I watched Heathers without context for the first time last night and now my whole perception of this simple interactions has completely changed 😳😳

[@imawonder]

LOL oh my god, that kills me haha

[@margaretf667]

I love the tiger 🐯

[@yvonnebouwhuis9419]

i love my poscas but this makes me wants to try alcohol markers as well one of these days

[@arii4519]

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate desseres paint markers? I plan on getting them tomorrow but would like to know how good they last.

[@mayandjune2727]

👍🏻 wow

[@daniellapalencia205]

IM FROM MONTREAL ! I DONT KNOW WHY IT WAS EXCITED WHEN YOU SAID MONTREAL 🥲😂💖

[@imawonder]

Hahaha I love Montreal!! Definitely want to go visit again when we can travel :')

[@SeriousRereader]

I think about the Swan Princess about once a week

[@moonspiritartbycindyhill1084]

Love hun

[@zaydenelliot9339]

The thumbnail gave me such Leigh Ellixson vibes I had to check the user 3 times and then go set my eyes on her Instagram lol then you mentioned her like two minutes in and I’m like ah, yes, of course lmao

[@nanalevine2494]

Very interesting video with our suggestion on instagram !

[@imawonder]

Glad you liked it!

[@pixiedragon58]

Artprompts.org is great for random drawing ideas if you don't have anyone to ask and can't think of things yourself!

[@AnnaReed42]

why did I get so excited over Odette omg

[@imawonder]

An underrated classic!

[@theunluckyrabbit1440]

I would buy all of these if you made them stickers

[@jaxhayes4372]

I can’t shade with alternate colors to save my life I just add water to “calm” the color out I need to practice more

[@stefani0998]

the tiger i relly cute tho

[@aiseruchaan]

Ha. I've been in an art block for the past 10 years.
