My sad theory about the balloon picture: after Mr. Fredrickson passed away, Russel would occasionally send a lone balloon into the sky with a message on it for him. Today’s balloon color was red 🥺

It reminds me of the old English nursery rhyme! 'Ladybird, ladybird fly away home Your house is on fire and your children are gone All except one, and her name is Ann And she hid under the warming pan' - gives it a bit of a dark twist though seeing the ladybird holding the flame!

[@rachelcookie321]

Theres a similar german lullaby with lyrics talking about the ladybirds children crying and screaming cause a spider was coming (the house was on fire in that one too)

14:24 is where balloons go when they die, they leave their strings and color behind to represent unity to join balloon heaven

That is a book right? If you dont know it it is an old childrens book I used to have, it was kinda weird...But I enjoyed it nonetheless. If I had to guess it was called "balloon heaven"?

Thank you, Kasey, for making me and many others smile when you upload.

[@danaekolyva3309]

Hey Kasey! This video was beautiful and I hope you're enjoying your stay in Japan. I just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me to start working on my children's book again. I've wanted to write and illustrate a story for a long time now but I'm always in my head about it; I can't map out the plot, my art skills aren't good enough, I don't even know how to make a book. But watching your work inspired me to get back into it. I am now consistently writing and I've also started practising the art style that I want to do my illustrations in. I think that seeing you do what you do made me realize that it's ultimately possible. Thanks for being awesome

[@elizabeth07613]

I was watching this with my friend and she started freaking out when you were doing the final painting and I didn’t know why and apparently she has triphobia so that’s cool 😂

[@patriciav.4509]

Kasey, there is something called " DécoTune twin markers", i use those markers all the time but the results are different that depends on the paper you use. You can find them on Amazon if you want. I hope you will like this idea! :D (Btw when youre using it, put a harder piece of paper underneath or it will leak thru!)

[@oli7237]

Hey, a new and fun video! I never knew you went to Japan, either. Maybe when I grow up, I might as well move there to look at the stuff they have that I can experiment with. Cool vid!

[@kar9470]

Happy early journey wishes

[@hermine3480]

I really like all of this and I also think it’s very impressive how you simplified your style even more! Especially this art style seems so good for a children’s book ! it is so simple that it still leaves enough room for the imagination for kids and every other age group!! I love this

[@mooonblooom]

14:23 Happy thoughts (the balloon) getting overtaken by bad thoughts (the dots).

[@ele1483]

the dragon and the balloon had to be my favorite, i know you weren't as fond of them but the idea of leaving out detail and allowing more imagination was a great aspect.

[@zadiesettle7500]

This video was really cool kasey! My favourite picture that you drew in this video today was the first one you drew, I liked the calm look of the sky and the plants in it. But honestly all of them were amazing! I hope your having a great time in Japan too. 👍

[@CrimsonQuandary]

The blue flames at the beginning looked awesome.

[@rabeahally1267]

In the first illustration the technique of making the gradient sky somehow makes it looks like there are clouds which are a little bit more realistic. They kinda stretch a little longer and aren't plain white. I really like this effect

I love the texture of the gradations of each illustration, looks great

[@Mmc.879]

I love how they blended!!

[@shesaysdisco]

My favorite is the dragon picture! I love the gradient sky and the contrast between it and the grass. The little dot creatures are really cool; I wonder if they are baby dot dragons?

[@thewonderlander1372]

My theory about the balloon is that it represents the loss of childhood and innocence. Or something like that idk.

[@viggsir988]

when it looks good and you want to try it but you know your impatient self could never.

[@markzappone2046]

Love these pieces! So glad you did this video with these markers as I have been thinking about purchasing them. I definitely will 😊.

[@minccyn]

When every artist gets a new medium ooooOOOo OMG I CAN DO DIS

[@winterprism9227]

We may be going on a family trip to Japan in the next year or so. I'd love some videos on like the best stores, how much you spent on art supplies, the general location of where your shopping at, etc.

[@corihederich4817]

This is great!! Who knew these types of marker could creat a great composition! Enjoyed watching and listening, you are a delight 😃👍

[@dominoot2652]

the last one could be the balloon representing childhood, and the dots being a storm that represents adulthood, and growing up into the reality of the world.

[@deliciousme87]

I loved these pieces. I always love your art. The style of it just makes me feel inspired

[@donzobonzo4535]

The dragon in the grass looks like a worm-on-a-string with wings 😳

[@RadishTheFool]

Those dot markers look like so much fun! By the way, I don't know if that's something you want to do, but I'd also love little videos of fun things and places you come across while in Japan. It's always so interesting to see a country through someone else's eyes.

[@andreawitchycrafter5108]

Ladybird, Ladybird fly away home, your house is on fire and your children all flown. Childhood rhyme was all I could think of during the first illustration.

[@cats2electricboogaloo384]

Without fail, I'm constantly amazed and inspired by the art you create no matter the tool. I am in love with your first drawing with the lady bug!! It's so cute!!

Japanese art supplies are so cheap and they are the best quality. 🇯🇵 Wish the US would be this nice to the art people. 🇺🇸

[@almahughes7636]

I have Zig Real Color Brush Markers. They were really popular among card makers for a while. I use mine mostly as watercolor to color small images on my cards.

[@Jacen355]

You should try a technique called "stippling" with these markers. It is literally making an image out of thousands of dots. It sounds like a printer and super tedious, but the way we did it in my art classes was by taping a bunch of brushes together, and using the ends of the brushes to dip into acrylic paint, and then tapping the ends to the paper. We paintes from landscape photographs, and they turned out like how many oil paintings look super textured up close, but just like the picture from a step back. These markers are perfect for stippling. :) Awesome work of these illustrations though! My favorite is the dragon.

[@beyza4339]

Markers looking so fun to use and also the drawings you created especially 3rd one looks amazing. You should do more scenting/ advanterous drawings

[@piplup1373]

i love that first drawing so much... it has so much character

[@figaroismycat]

So cute and inspiring! Thank you for being a creative creature.

[@thelastotakunews7334]

Pointillism markers! (Art using only dots in case someone comes along and doesn’t know what pointillism is) It’s unique because you can use almost anything! Including push pins (yes the things that you push into a wall with out a hammer to hold up a piece of paper or something light like that.) But those flames, plants, fish, and angler fish light looks really awesome!

[@susanclenin4066]

Kasey! I bought a watercolour set! I have never used watercolour before! I'm really excited to play around with them!

[@dumitrious4586]

The last one represents curiosity in an unknown environment populated by strangers, the desire to explore and break out of your usual place and visit new lands even though you may not be welcomed you make no effort to blend in

[@douglasmcdaniel8177]

The shade of the green marker is beautiful

[@HildeKitten]

Those have gone right onto my wtb list for art supplies in Japan 😊

[@MonkLea62004]

Hey Kasey!! I thought of a new series u could do!! It would be kinda like your writing prompts series! There’s this amazing KZbinr Moriah Elizabeth who has made her own art books called Create This Book, 1 and 2!! I’ve seen quite a bit of the pages and it would be really interesting to see your style in this kind of book! It’s just a suggestion of course, if u wanted to start a new kind of series! Love u Kasey!💕💕💕

[@redshift7761]

Love all of these doodles 💙💙💙 but for the balloon one, to me it represents growing up. The bright balloon is going up into a dark ominous storm where nothing can be seen, like a child being thrown into a dark and sad world. Sorry for the sadness! To end on a positive note, thats the cutest dragon I've ever seen :)

[@marsellachanell46]

14:18 maybe the dots are lost souls of all the balloons that went in the sky and those are the last moments of the red balloon ? Oh gosh , I'm so dark

[@TheDoctorRevadac]

I think the scary part is this has implied that humans are responcible for literally tearing the soul out of balloons when they deflate/pop

Kasey: “Ballon getting sucked into dots” Me: “ooooh that’s deep” it means to stand out of the crowd, because it is the only red ballon among a blue ballon crowd

[@lucieeed3004]

The ladybird with the flame reminded me of an old advert that used to come on TV in the UK. It was to tell kids not to play with matches and was about a firefly who flew with a match and burned down her village

[@ashnikfield4224]

Dude this is super clever! I need to make one cause I got a ton of spectrum noir markers from my aunt and I have nowhere to put them! Thanks for this!

The balloon can represent innocence and the dotted storm can represent maturity(?) What I'm trying to get at is that it coyld show someone's innocence getting distorted and twisted into something new

[@nikitheeartist]

[@chrisi_s]

I know you know this, but I thought you should hear it from someone else. 4:14 "Is this cheating?" No, you can't cheat in art. Its whatever you want to make it. I hope you're doing this for yourself as much as you are for us! And personally, I dont care what you do because I love everything!! Your content has a huge variety and I never find myself becoming bored. While I do miss the daily prompts (please do some occasionally perhaps?) I'm fine with what you're doing now. Sorry.
