Yes. Yes to everything. Selling originals? YES !! Streaming line art? Do it! :D Very inspiring vlog, so cool that we are both working on bigger projects at the same time. Although I think you are far ahead with all this line work done , wow!

[@spindelyshankz671]

I can not wait to go to the bookshop and buy this beautiful book! :) (I know its gonna be beautiful)

[@Lee-yo5up]

Ugh these vlog videos are my absolute favorite thing 👌🏻

[@ollysmith7404]

you are so inspiring Dina, and I love all your work, I'm SO excited to see this come into completion!

[@alexmurrin]

Recently found your channel and I find your personality, style and art so inspiring! Keep up the hard work; I can't imagine getting so much done in so little time!

[@KeshArt]

Loved this one :)

[@ornagesoda1052]

You inspire me so much! I haven't been doing traditional lately but you made me want to do some so today I've been working on some drawing ! Thank you for being so inspiring!!

[@jhanaih.tavoglu8366]

I LOVE watching your progress throughout this project! It's so inspiring! (Also I already can't wait to buy this book!!)

[@PlabsUnderscore]

Wow,you've made so much progress in such little time! You are insane! It makes sense that you like your art more the day after because you see it with fresher eyes, it all looks fantastic!

[@mandymoomp4]

Really looking forward to seeing your project come together, and I really do hope you post your originals for sale they'd be great to own!

[@DinaNorlund]

Thank you! And I will I just need to figure out where to sell them haha

[@luaharmsen23]

omg i love your style, its so beautiful

[@kierstinblaga6490]

The line art looks great! and Peko has finally appeared again! Can't wait to see the spreads in color, they're going to look amazing! Keep up the good work!!! :)

[@DinaNorlund]

He has! Sneakily in a few frames hehe

[@enochlightburst333]

Loving your video I'm in process of illustrating for a novel book so watching you is nice and inspiring!

[@KaseyTheGolden]

If I'm a bother, I can leave. ;D

[@DinaNorlund]

Kasey Golden noo please stay haha ;) I'm gonna stop joking about Kasey the famous now xD

[@NadaSerafimovic]

This book is so wonderful!!! And you are very talented and hyperproductive!!!

[@foxygrin]

Dina! I decided you'll be the first artist I can support on Patreon. As an art student I don't have much, but I figure every little bit helps. I couldn't decide which artist I wanted to support the most but I eventually chose you because you're so dedicated and inspiring! I really love how you set a project for yourself and continue working on it bit by bit. I really hope to achieve that kind of workflow myself :) thank you so much! P.S: I love the studio vlogs, behind the scenes stuff is really interesting!

[@mohammedsadam8747]

awesome Vlog I am soo happy for u Dina

[@ashmitanandy]

It's hAPPENING! STAY CALM EVERYONE! STAY CALM!

[@Miggeamakes]

These are looking so good!! Love the idea of selling the inktober art 😍😍😍 don't wear yourself out! They look awesome!!!! 💜💜💜

[@Miggeamakes]

Last name pronounced Mic lock Lin 💜😍😍

[@DinaNorlund]

Thank youu! I will definitley sell them, and I'll notify patreons first ;) phew I think I overdid it this week but taking today and the weekend off to recharge

[@DinaNorlund]

(thank you, i'm really bad with names)

[@Miggeamakes]

Dina Norlund don't worry! I just saw the moment of panic on your face and wanted to help!

[@marienacraig0393]

Please do a video on how to be able to draw more freely like you do. Obviously the "style" will vary from one person to another, but I would love to be able to do this and be able to draw in more than just one style.

[@multiguru]

Great vlog! Keep it up!

[@hans-sniekers-art]

Thanks for showing that artist to us! I will search him up as well :D Awesome that you're watching Jake Parker ;3 I love him a lot! Great to see the progress on the greylegs going so well, it's looking absolutely gorgeous! Her expression are so good, you really feel for her :3 (Also I really love the music under the speedpaint) I also have that book 'How much I love you'. It's so popular it's sold for just a few books in places. If you have the money, please check out the Guardians of Childhood books by William Joyce and mainly 'The Man in the Moon' Dinotopia is also really beautiful and aimed at children, but I think William Joyce would fit your art more. Excited to see the cover! Have a nice weekend and rest of your week and hopefully you'll have some beautiful weather :3 :D

[@xenin1868]

I love your vlogs!!

[@christineingram55]

I have been asked to illustrate a book with two children’s poems in and now I have seen this I am really nervous about it lol..but.guess when I sort the characters out it will fall in place just so much work to do ..your work is so good mine ..well I can do better than I think lol ..Looks a really fun story your doing too 😀

[@endocix]

How do you get your ballpoint line work so smooth, it's so buttery.

[@Kokow]

These are awesome! Looking forward to the coloring process

[@DinaNorlund]

Koray phew I do to! Lining was the hardest part :) next week will be cover and colour!

[@Kokow]

Dina Norlund Yeah I don't like lining either x) Are you going to do the coloring digitally?

[@DinaNorlund]

Yup! I would love to do it in watercolour but I'm not confident enough in it yet :/ at least digital colour should go fast!

[@Kokow]

Dina Norlund Oh yeah I see! Still practicing watercolors as well but digital is still more forgiving :)) ( btw excuse my terrible English it's not my first language ^^")

[@DinaNorlund]

Koray haha no worries! It's not my first language either so I make tons of typos all the time :)

[@howlingsuns]

It's soo interesting to watch your process working on your book, it's really helpful and inspiring - thank you so much for taking us along, really can't wait to see how it all comes together (: Good Luck on the rest of your journey, I hope it turns out how you want it to be! And I think selling originals is an awesome idea, I'd definitely get something! :D May I ask what pen you use for your linework on your book? It looks so smooth! Hope you have a wonderful day

[@taitanator1998]

I love these vlogs and I love just watching you line art ♥♥... wow that sounds way more creepy then in my head

[@OwliSketches]

are your inktober pieces available as a book in themselves, cuz that would be awesone!

[@BiswajitDas-ip3ue]

Your illustrations too good

[@theresahedrich3946]

Wow you inspiriert me thanks you do a great job greetings from germany 🥰

[@AN-jf6fp]

”Håret till mamma” haha lol

[@enochlightburst333]

Watching for first time much love from Pacific northwest Enoch!

[@parthifinearts5595]

Oh my god...what an amazing illustration. Your style of characters are awesome look. Final Drawing Panel each one is A4 I think because you measured with the book. And could you tell me what size is your thumbnail or spread sketch....Thank you for the video.

[@SwanCreates]

Are you doing a Kickstarter for your book?

[@marienacraig0393]

I wish I could draw like this and some others who do illustration/character design. I'm the type that does more realistic. When I was a kid, I was better at just making characters and they were cute. But as I got older, it changed and now I feel like I will never be able to draw in the character design/illustration style 😂😭

[@noahkennel5034]

I watched that andypandywright video too,because my teacher said that he would publish my book if I wrote one.so,I'm working on an idea for a story

[@jamieroberts269]

May be late but you should make an inktober zine with the pieces. You could make more $ and then sell the originals. That way you have a book for memories. Either way you make wonderful art!

[@KirstieFuentes]

Hi. What kind of paper you used for drawing the line art? What brand again?

[@mivical]

you should link your patreon in the description!

[@DinaNorlund]

I did just right after publishing! I think its there now thank you though

[@Nicole-ld6ev]

Hey Dina 💖 what fine liner did you use in the video?

[@noahkennel5034]

Hi dina how are you.I heard you watching Jake Parker in the vid. He is my second favorite youtuber after you.

[@floralspectre]

I just started watching the video and noticed that Wednesday is spelled wrong. I know you probably can't do anything about it, but I thought you should know. Now I'm going to continue watching, because looking at the comments made me really excited!!

[@mediumchaaya2360]

Please don't stop talking girl..😉..its a reason y I'm here....for me it's a way of relaxation ..ur art is unique n i like to c the process ...n thanks for sharing 👏👍

[@creekkidart7554]

i like talk-y vlogs!

[@enochlightburst333]

I'm the same way I don't like my drawings once finished until the next day I end up liking it lol.

[@marissavangils]

Do you digital color this drawings with photoshop? Or do you use a other technique.. I really find it hard to color with photoshop.. Can i use something else? I'm really good with illustrator from adobe.. Maybe i could make illustrations with that.. When i first draw it on paper?

[@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

Mostly sold copies of My inktobor art. I'm assuming this is your first children's book?

[@DinaNorlund]

cetriya's Art n Comics Channel I didn’t think of selling copies since they are all compiled into a book! Seems I could just sell that again instead of single prints hehe, but I do want to just sell the originals as I just have them tucked away anyway :) and yes! This will be my first official children’s book.

[@aahantiwari3023]

Dina the text in the thumbnail was almost invisible since it was white on a bright background could not read it. Just so you know

[@mariumahmad3355]

What pen r u using for The line art?

[@Hugbryggen]

Håret til mamma er min favoritt! (Jeg har et lite Dina maraton de siste dagene.) Du er veldig inspirerende. Du bare gjør det! Utrolig gøy å ha så mange filmer å ha i bakgrunnen når jeg tegner. Jeg driver en butikk med @akbillustrations og @syverart her i Bergen. Om du er i Bergen en gang så gjerne kom innom Jacobsfjorden 6c, vi har en illustrasjons butikk kalt «Myte Illustrations» Og hadde vært gøy å ta en kaffe og dele. Love Nille
