Nicolle dreams do you make such stamp again? Just wanted to order and it was already sold out. :(

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Yes, I will check my supplier if they have more of the materials available and then if all is good I can put some more on Etsy.

[@amberielle]

thanks, i missed my chance to buy one as well and i really want one

[@BlackLotusPro]

Thank you! I just saw the video today and wanted to buy one >.

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Just letting you know that I was able to restock a couple of stamp plates :)

[@tarasparkels9823]

The stamps are actually a really good Idea I never thought of using stamps

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

They are a time saver for sure :)

[@tilagonzales4507]

I think it's still just as fun as drawing. Especially for beginners who are practicing, if you don't feel like redrawing something, or if your main focus is inking/practicing coloring or hairstyles. I think it's very creative. Love them 😍

[@tarotpotatoe9063]

Some people are against the stamps, but during inktober or mermay it saves you time.

[@PeachReaver]

She said it took almost 3 days for her just to do the HAIR, It seems to me she's challenging herself just fine.

[@vsnrm5451]

@@PeachReaver but it could have been even more challenging doing an entire illustration tho, with varied poses and stuff.. I mean, she can do what she wants, but I just dont think I personally would have gained anything from using a base

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

@Avethy Why would I want to make it even more challenging than it already is though? Did you ever notice how people burn out during inktober because they set their expectations too high and challenge themselves too much? This is exactly what I don't want to happen. I don't want to burn out, nor go through an unhealthy amount of pressure. I am being realistic and I am setting up achievable daily goals. My objective is to practice drawing whatever I want and create a habit. I know the amount of challenge I can tackle with the amount of time I have every day. If you personally don't think you would've gained anything by drawing hair then that is fine, I personally feel it is an excellent exercise and I am gaining plenty of experience. Please don't dismiss the amount of work that goes into doing this every day, we should all be free to decide on the challenges we take based on our current situation and lifestyle.

[@vsnrm5451]

@@NicollesDreamsShop thats great! Im glad you feel like it's still an adequate challenge for you. I didn't mean to sound like I meant you spesifically, I just meant in general. Obviously you know how to make bodies and faces since you made the stamp, but if you were a beginner artist starting from skratch and only using bases then that might be more of a hinder than a help. But you're right, if you don't have time to do it all then it's better to do the things you can afford the time to than nothing at all. I should have been more spesific in saying that *I personally* wouldnt gain anything from doing this, but I'm sure a lot of people still do (well, at least if they don't keep using it forever).

[@elineclaeys8226]

those stamps are such a cute and fun idea

[@DrawingofaPipe]

This video is lovely and I'm glad you found a way to have fun with your art! I'm sorry you are getting comments about you cheating, or being lazy because you are using the stamp. It's way more important to enjoy what you make. It's not healthy if all you can think about is improving and never have fun with creating.

[@valasafantastic1055]

fun stamps! A good idea for quickly designing your own different hairstyles as well! I create fashion model templates both to trace over traditionally and to paint over (on a layer above) digitally. Creating more as needed. This allows me to quickly design hairstyles, jewelry and clothing! If I was you I'd mention that option when marketing these. Keep up the great content, thanks!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Yes exactly :) Also sometimes we just want to have some fun after work.

[@tinytwinkles9473]

I'm missing the doll related content T^T But I understand it must be difficult now, since the new generation of doll customizers has taken it to a whole new level.. and Andreja is such a perfectionist❤

Oh I'm so happy to see this video! I'd really like to buy a mint machine but everyone told me the silhouette ink would smudge with water 😑 thanks Nicolle I'm a recent subscriber but I've been really enjoying your videos! Oh and the sailor cosmos is a BIG bonus 😅

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Yes the Silhouette ink is definitely waterproof so you don't need to worry :) Also you don't necessarily need to use Silhouette ink with the stamps, you can pretty much use any ink that you want :D

Hey andreja ! , i bought one if your beautifull stamps and i can’t wait to recieve it ! , but i wanted to ask , where can i find the wooden base for my stamp ? , and what size ?

[@okayilly]

Hey this is great & she turned out super pretty! xx I was wondering where you have your stamps made or where you order them from? Or maybe what that kind of stamp is called? I’ve never seen stamps that snap in place on a block before. Thank you! Congrats on selling all your stamps!

[@cathyconey3273]

Can't find this stamp must be sold out!! I favorited your store

[@hellachad8912]

I checked out the etsy shop but I don't see the stamp. Are they sold out?

[@willbe3043]

Taking bases to a whole another level.

[@ParadiseofDarkness]

You dont have all your tools listed on your amazon thingy. I was trying to figure out the brush brand of the super thin brush you used for the lineart?

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Yeah the Amazon list has to be updated, I just haven't found the time :( Also the brushes that I use, I could not find them on Amazon so I will need to select an alternative that looks similar. But then I don't know if people would be upset if it was not the exact same brand.

[@scribbleharmony5344]

Do more of this pleaseeee

[@tydelbarrio9193]

Any idea what these stamps are called? I kind of have an itch to design my own templates 🙏

[@Lexouchan]

I checked the description and links but could not find it. What is your sketchbook that you are using ? And also why don't you like it ? I am curious. Also I was wondering about your stamps. How did you get the idea and how do you plan on using it ? Is it mainly for series like inktober or do you plan to use them more for future illustration ?

[@catherineclipse3553]

what size of paintbrush do you use for detailing? Love the drawing btw, she looks very majestic :)

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Hmmm can’t remember from the top of my head, but I rarely look at the size because I tend to trim my brushes to make them as thin as I want or to change their shape.

[@ladyayako7195]

Loved it. 😊 And you're videos are so relaxing.

[@slowedly2920]

Wow your drawing ✍️

[@fruitsushi]

How much were the stamps? They are sold out now. :(

[@diadsalies]

This was a very cool and cute video to see your process and your original idea! Making your own unique stamp sounds like its own super cool and unique process. Since you've done it once already, doing it again in the future must be less daunting. Looking forward to your ideas on how to apply them! Sorry you have to deal with these nasty snob comments from haters. It makes me so mad for you, like do these people even know how long the simplest painting takes? It takes me a couple dozen hours just to paint a post-card-sized piece, even when just copying a photograph or design from somewhere else! And do these people think that traditional artists who literally just 'copy' and paint/draw things they see in real life are 'lazy'? What must they think of photographers, huh? Really, the snobbery is infuriating! )Sorry if I lost my temper a bit too much in the comments...) I'd like to design my own stamp some day, as kind of my 'seal' haha, like a signature. Since my real signature is so ugly. Maybe you could make your own logo design for stamping or other cool ideas some day too :) . This kind of idea somewhat reminds me of dress-up games. I am not surprised it would be popular with fans of your work too, since it can work as nice sorts of 'training wheels' or a fun casual hobby-art-level tool for people who want to make hair and character designs, but are afraid about the tough technical stuff with anatomy. I had a friend in high school once who asked me to draw her a body base too, so that she could draw her character details over it, so I think many creatives, especially budding ones, would indeed be excited by such stamp/product ideas!

[@AriaMasterofChaldea]

Out of curiosity, do you Have a video how you make your acrylic charms? Love the video!

[@NicollesDreamsShop]

Yes I do, I explain my process in my vector drawing videos :)

It probably is if you are already familiar with these stamps, but this video was meant to help those who are very new at it. My goal was to explain every step in detail so that there is no margin of error when people purchase my stamps. That will save me a lot of time in the future. I watched a similar video when I was learning about how to use these, so I am sure it will be beneficial to others as well :) If someone on a video speaks too slowly for my taste I just speed up the video playback to 1.5 or 2x that helps a lot!

This stamp was different from any other I have seen before, considering the ones I am used to you just press to an ink pad and then straight to paper. So yeah, it was very interesting for someone like me and I'm glad it was added. I guess in the future one could just skip ahead if they already know about it.

@@bellelexous6142 im not sure who you are replying to but ill just respond. An artist isnt obligated to treat everysingle drawing they make as practice or as an intricate illustration. Youre allowed to do things for fun. She stated in the video that she didnt have time to devote to making massive inktober pieces so she was doing this instead. And to further respond to people complaining about "Same face syndrome " who cares?!?! Let the artist draw!!! Unless they asked for your critique dont say anything, their art doesn't exist to meet anyones standards but their own. Sometimes people just want to draw cute hairstyles and nothing else and thats ok.
