@@eversbrooks7162 I watched an older episode recently, and iirc, Caldwell said something along the lines of wondering what it would be like to live in plague-times. For the life of me I can't remember what episode it was... Maybe pokemon fusions... Or something..? I believe it included at least Caldwell, Nathan, and Julia. I think because one of the names of something made Caldwell picture a "wasting disease" and do his fancy British lad voice.

Tbh, I’m having flashbacks to when I was in seventh grade pre-AP English and almost won a 5 paragraph essay contest with a poem. The prompt was something like “I am a cloud” and, at the time, I was obsessed with the music video for owl city’s vanilla twilight. So I write this poem about all these things the cloud sees as it floats around and turn it in because this was before my work ethic went down the toilet. My English teacher was friends with my grandma, and so she called my house and told me that all the judges loved it but since it /technically/ wasn’t an essay, they couldn’t give me first place or let me move on to the next tier of judging, but I want to say they sent it in anyway as an honorable mention? I didn’t do nearly as well when the competition came up again in eighth grade. It was almost 15 years ago and Julia’s piece made that memory come rushing back. I agree with the “big cryptid lady energy”

[@gwingcommander]

Never seen JoJo or whatever it is Nathan's is based on, but that image is so awesome. Absolutely love the comic style and the rendering on the face and everything. they're all great in their own way, but really love Nathan's work in this ep

[@AConfusedDemiboy]

I know it's been a year, and it doesn't matter, but the Razia's Shadow reference was for me And it was good Karina!

[@JaboovoDNermel]

Suggestion: Julia should draw a pose and everyone interperates it differently.

[@Kyrital]

I've never really properly watched a Drawfee episode before and I gotta say, hot damn, what a great episode to watch, especially with blood-and-ass-cheeks Luce by Karina 👀 Thank you for the food!

[@MusicalMeadows]

Nathan: I drew fan art! Jacob: I drew my OC! Katrina: I drew my OC in an almost NSFW manner! Julia: I drew a child's nightmare as a gorgeous sci-fi movie poster.

[@romxxii]

to be fair, the reference pose looks like it's from the gravure of former Japanese adult actress Asami, so Karina's is probably the closest to the prompt.

[@Scrofar]

I'd personally Karina's was pretty tame in a PG-13 fashion, with some disregard to Luce's jewels almost peeking over his leg

[@AllTheArtsy]

Another classic Drawfee episode: - Nathan does a nice one with good color combos that follows the prompt - Jacob comes in with a clean one with satisfying composition - Karina pops out a complicated pose quickly with hot sexy energy - Julia refuses to follow the prompt but gets universal praise for chaotic genius anyway Perfect.

[@shaliekk]

[@Vee_Sheep]

that's Julia's alignment, Chaotic Genius not good, nor evil, but definitely ambitious and unpredictable

[@journey9641]

She always has to go against the expectations

[@sosukelele]

Well, I think someone in the Spencer Wan speed draw episode put it best: she either produces something impressive or does it impressively fast (and sometimes it's both)

[@regrettablemuffin9186]

I was thinking how awesome the colours in Jacobs piece looked and then he reminded us that he’s FREAKING COLOUR BLIND. That’s wildly impressive

[@dacorsiiii]

Somehow I always forget that & am always amazed when I am reminded. That’s just so crazy cool!!

[@senseisleepyhead]

Woah, thanks for mentioning that! And mad mad props to Jacob, daaaaaaaaang

[@ericreativecuts]

I have a friend who is full color blind and he was actually the best at sorting sheets at the linen store he worked at because it was all gray-scale to him. Patterns and weaves fucked him up though. He was convinced his gray couch was pink!

[@Shadow1Yaz]

I have a friend who’s similarly color blind to Jacob and apparently it’s harder to tell the difference between shades of blue and easiest to see the different shades of red. Though any color smack in between colors (like a reddish orange or yellowish green) can’t be picked up at all so the brain does a thing where it flips between the two surrounding colors before miserably giving up and registering it as white or grey.

Ah yes. The- “pretty little meow-meow that I can put in outfits” OC- everyone has at least one. For me it’s my dnd character 😂

[@karlahabbershaw1971]

This may be odd but I love the center of Nathan's drawing, where her arm, belly and leg kind of meet there a bit. It just looks so natural and good.

[@caelestiavulpes5457]

Karine’s drawing is so fricking good o.o the anatomy, the expression, those transparent hearts with the blood! Gorgeous.

Ah, yes, a julia 'delete the prompt'. True to herself

Day 124: You should do an episode where you organize all of Julia's heinous pokémon creations into teams and then draw the trainer who would have those pokémon.

This quiet frankly but also they won't use it cause you gotta join their Patreon

@@TheDillMan Nope. They've done these sort of suggestions before

As a JoJo lover myself, drawing Jolyne was a real treat, thanks Nathan!

[@LootGoblinPenny]

Nathan *always* absolutely kills it in the speed draws. It's where he truly shines.

[@rebelliouscottoncandy]

I’m so glad Jacob brought Rowan back!!! They’re such a cool character and look so cool in Jacob’s evolving art style. And it’s always a treat to see our boy Luce!

[@mollystewart740]

Suggestion: you should try drawing Discworld characters that you've never heard of/based on their descriptions! There are so many incredible characters, like Nobby Nobbs, Moist von Lipwig, and the Hogfather! These are my favourite books, and I think they could always use more love 🥰 GNU Terry Pratchett

@@shadowl.dragmire8531 began reading this series not long ago and am really enjoying this. Death going to a bar to understand why people drink could be an interesting prompt

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

@@shadowl.dragmire8531 sorry but Nathan MUST draw the Librarian, this is obligatory, it’s part of the contract

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

I’ve put a lot of thought into which character should be drawn by whomst. Here’s my take: Nathan: the Librarian, of course Jacob: Nanny Ogg if he goes cartoony, Rincewind if he goes more detailed Karina: Sgt. Angua (beautiful badass angsty werewolf lady) Julia: His Grace, His Excellency, The Duke of Ankh, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch.

Whenever Julia does a head-empty anything drawing, it brings me great joy because its always so amazing. It makes me sad when she doesnt enjoy her own art, but that just means that everyone else has to shout out how great it is so that she knows

[@mikkoviinikka1148]

For that "Julia chooses a painting everyone has to recreate" challenge, it would be fun if Julia chose a Mark Rothko painting or something like that just to avoid doing poses.

[@oboispencer3712]

I love speed draw episodes because it really gives Nathan a chance to shine. He really shows off his talents when he has more time and I love it.

[@StraveTube]

I didn't know CSP brushes took the form of a skill tree. It's amazing how much art knowledge I always gain from Drawfee!

[@Mara_1337]

What does that mean?

[@arjunarya2658]

@@Mara_1337 In the episode Nathan says that he's "always one level behind on brushes"(or something like that). He means that he doesn't tend to use the same brushes as the others, but his phrasing implies that the brushes has a level system, like a skill tree.

Drawfee googling their own art instead of looking through their files is so real of them 😭

Yes to the classic painting reworking speed paint. Also, I love Julia’s Brisket.
