[@karlkabelis5228]

Rin, I feel like you need to know how much your videos ROCK! You could draw air and it would be the most entertaining video ever made. Watching your videos not only inspires me just by watching you do what you do, but seeing you feeling the same frustrations, confusions, uncertainty that I do, and yet you just barrel right through them and turn out fantastic artwork. The time and effort that you put into making your videos makes them, in my humble opinion, the best art instruction/inspiration videos on KZbin. The little *clap* *clap* when you clap, the craziness of the 'nipple explosion'...and just how down to earth you are. You don't try to put yourself off as "I'm Ms.Artsypants and I know everything..." and that is real refreshing for those of us who do what we do simply because we enjoy it. Keep on being the most amazing, truly wonderful, silly and artistic you...because your art is your awesomeness. ^_^ Thank you for every laugh, encouragement, instruction, and all the Waffley (is that even a word?) goodness that is you.
