NY art supply haul, museum date and painting with colour pencils ~ Frannerd

[@kendray8698]

Fran, your translation from old to new drawing was brilliant! It looks like something out of your children’s/sci-fi illustration world. Good job staying true to who you are now and not giving into the fairies. I would totally watch an animated series with those little forest spirits. 💕

[@andrearebec6875]

I love it how you laugh each time you see your older artwork.

[@squigglysquoot]

Fran, you could draw with your feet and your eyes closed and we'd be proud of you. Everything you do looks so beautiful! The illustration is amazing!

[@latinaartista36]

I'm in love with your version of Victorian ladies. The soft colors blended so dreamy. And the little fairy buns cracked me up.

[@maryseleblanc8418]

I love watching all your videos but specially your draw with me videos!!! I know you are nervous to film yourself drawing but oh my I am always impressed and very entertained ! Loved your end result ! You inspire me to try coloured pencils as well :)

[@Tania_Doodlezilla_Vincent]

How can Fran get any better? Oh I know, give her coloured pencils and send her to New York! I adore the look you are getting from those colour pencils. I think it really adds something to your work, which I didn't think was possible :) I also love seeing New York in your video. Exciting times ahead!

[@FranMeneses]

thank you Taniaaaaaa :)

[@CAdams_Art]

Hey Fran! Something you might want to try while experimenting with coloured pencils is using a colourless marker blender on them - it really makes for a neat effect that retains some of the "graininess" of the pencils, and a light washy-watercolour effect at the same time. Copic, Chartpak, Tombow and probably others make them - give it a shot! (Plus, it gives you another excuse to visit Blick's again!!!)

[@jessicatorlezi]

Soooo pretty. The video, the ilustration, you, the tiny painting set

[@Pharphette]

I’m busy in uni and I never draw. I’m not good, but what I do sketch makes me and my bf laugh. Watching this video makes me want to draw again. But for right now I’ll just live through you and be impressed by your work. The coloured pencil work looks great. I really like it. Hi Fran!

[@jkong324]

You, Kendyll and Holly are my TOP 3 favorite KZbin artists to watch, and the fact that you know both of them makes it 10000x betterrrrrr

[@katherine9980]

Yey do the mini paint challenge 🙌🏼 Yess. Much love from Puerto Rico. Keep being awesome 😎

[@rosiexro]

The challenge with the mini paint set is a great idea.

[@mcpirateface]

You are so talented, it's mesmerizing!

[@anonnone8196]

As always, a massive inspiration. Your videos always get my creative juices flowing xx

[@butteredflies]

I love getting to see you experiment with different techniques and ideas! Thank you for sharing, Fran!

[@SophiaSaysSmile]

The fairy’s are lovely!! I love seeing your experiments with texture/different mediums and how it translates to your style. Thank you for sharing with us💕

[@MiaTalksToHerself]

Tiny paints in the tiny sketchbook! 😍 So good to see another video, Fran! Welcome back!

[@minitherizinoid5068]

Don't be nervous Fran! Your work is amazing! :)

[@MaryZoles]

Wonderful Vlog Fran🤩🕊 Love listening to your videos while I work on my Illustrations, you bring so much joy !! 🌿 Keep on creating!!!

[@aldajoao474]

This reminds me the sketchbooks I used when I was in high school and spent my time drawing, doodling, doing collages and experimenting. I think it's awsome you take time to try new art supplies, test them, do some personal research and challenges: that's how you grow and that's super professional! Also those fairies turned out so cute!

[@olinca5288]

No sabes la alegría que me da ver tus videos. Aunque no lo creas aprendo mucho y me da más seguridad en las cosas que hago. Ilustracionmente hablando je! Y pues ya no supe cómo te fue en Tulum ya no nos pudimos ver... que tengas una excelente semana y saludos a Ed. Eres lo máximo no dejes de hacer lo qué haces nunca!!

[@SashaFitzgerald]

Your drawings are so charming! I really need to use pencil crayons more too. Also I agree about the -Procreate pencil brush, it’s amazing!

[@cip3000]

It was really fun watching you redraw an old drawing! I would love to see more of that :)

[@bookworm62591]

Fran, I am so glad to see you back!

[@babs3971]

Missed you so much Fren :). Hope you enjoyed your Holiday. I hope ed is good too. Miss you all a lot. Now my happy again seeing u :)))

[@ByJuliah]

The recreation of that illustration is just adorable!!! Also, those color pencils really blends nicely together

[@butterflygirl141]

Fran, you look so happy in this video! New York looks good on you, I hope you're enjoying your travels!

[@FranMeneses]

:D THANKS MICHELLEEEEE

[@zaracotar4975]

YAY new video!!! You always make my day 😊💖

[@ErikaLindberg]

This was so much fun to watch! I'd love seeing you re-draw other old sketches sometime in the future :)

[@pragyasarin8902]

Wow. Loved how you showed the difference between the two illustrations. One having more personality and everything! Love this video. ❤️

[@endovier6324]

We are always proud of you Fran 💕

[@kalindihill8422]

Those fairies killed me, ahaha, you're genius, Fran! And thank you so much for making my daily routine better - I can't imagine my like without your videos and illustrations that inspired me so many times. HAVE THE NICEST DAY EVER!☕️☕️☕️

[@karolinauchman8358]

Good to see you again 😊 you've just made my day. 🌸

[@Sasumiwo]

Ah I missed you! The illustration with the pencils came out super cute, love those flower fairies!

[@Hello__isi]

Ese mini painting set, qué lindoooooo :_D Me gusta mucho la paleta de colores que estás usando! Muchos saludos y qué bacán que apareció Ed!

[@sydneydean8875]

such a wonderful video! i look up to you so much as a person and a creator. my relationship to art is so much more fun and exploratory now a days, and i totally have your videos to thank for that. you’re the coolest, fran!

[@fevaz]

The mini paint set is usually really bad. Just remove the cheap color and pour some of your own paint. Then you have a very portable watercolor set to use with a waterbrush. :) This is like a urban sketcher's hack. :) hope it helps

[@fluximagery6500]

Fernanda Vaz de Campos 😳😳😳😳 mind blown! I want to get one from Party City now and do this. ☺️☺️☺️

[@annasebesta2945]

I love your videos. I feel like I'm chatting with a girl friend who encourages my art while she makes her own. Thank you for being vulnerable and doing things that scare you-- all artists should be that brave!!

[@lillie2869]

I love the colours you've choiced, it brings more intensity to your draw!^^

[@凌楚冰]

hi Fran, like you sooooo much! Every time when I watch your video , I always learn a lot. And your video makes me feel relaxed and happy.

[@andrearomero5414]

You were my inspiration to become an illustrator and eventhough our style is completely different, despite you've never replied any of my comments/messages (😅), I think you're great. Please never lose the floor under your feet and keep being an inspiration to young artist 😊 greetings from Mexico

[@danielletdg8423]

You did great with the colored pencils. I love using the prismacolor colorless blender for colored pencils; it lightens the overall hugh, but gives a smooth look and blends the colors nicely.

[@erikalorenz4399]

Every time you post a video I get SO happy. 💕💕💕

[@caritafeliz7566]

You give me inspiration, and i miss your videos a lot

[@emmannuelle_constantly_pro3103]

Oh my goood yes, it turn out so much better ♡🌟💛

[@MarlonDoomen]

Yesss, the bullet sharpener is the best! I bought it for less than 2€ in the Netherlands once. I’ve had one since forever and it is still super sharp!

[@troews]

Love love looove the pencils and texture!! Thanks for putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation! 😃👌🏻👌🏻

[@yannisprinos6911]

I'm really into colour pencils at the moment. I started using colour pencils when I saw some of your videos and you were using the prismacol erase pencil to sketch. I love it :) Keep up with the good work Fran :)

[@mairinthorne8142]

watching this made me want to start coloring again, thank you !

[@mythandmilagro]

I loved the heck out of this. A great start to my day!

[@studiofare]

i miiiiisssed youuuuuu! I'm into colored pencils, but mixing them is something, I always forget about. Thank you!

[@third_6117]

You and Ed should totally make a video about how you guys met and your love story

[@eynuh]

I love watching your drawing/illustration videos! It’s so relaxing :)

[@Nellysa]

That mini paint set is so lovely! You should definitely make a video using them ❤

[@LhamoEx]

8:23 2005 me would have thought that was amazing. You reacting to your old art is so me! Ugh! I love looking at old art of mine and cringing!

[@frankie.drawsthings]

I loved the flower fairy guys! And I really liked the editing style you used for the drawing process! I feel like it really suits your personality c:

[@sophynixon]

So glad you're back! I missed you. 🙌

[@unaanguila]

¡Hola, Fran! ¡Gracias por compartir! (Igual desconozco la pronunciación correcta de "Moleskine", ajaja) ¡Qué cool que te pongas retos! No sólo de lo que dibujas, también de los materiales que utilizas. ¡Saludos! Espero que tengan un precioso viaje~

[@valerie1401]

Really nice draw!!! Glad your back 😘

[@melissaugalde4990]

I love these illustrations with color pencils! Live your videos so so so much Fran 💕

[@faiza1627]

Oh Fran i think you are the only KZbinr in this planet who make my day love you so mush girl ! Kisses from Algeria

[@matthieukiriyama7219]

Baby, some of the pencils you bought (the Caran d'Ache Supracolor) are watercolour pencils, which means you can go over them with water to create gradations or any other watercolour effect. Also, they are probably a bit too expensive to just use as regular colour pencils; and I am sure they feel sad to not be used the way they were intended. Fran, don't make the pencils cry!! (What I'm trying to say is, you should try to use some water on them.)

[@shannonk8846]

I'm glad someone else noticed! Extra note, the Faber Castell Polychromos pencils are oil-based, as opposed to the wax-based Prismacolor Premier pencils. They're soooo smooth.

[@mangopoppy]

So cute with your space buns!! 💕

[@IanAC22]

I would tell you the thruth Fran..... I was waiting the whole week to see this video, i just entered to KZbin and i always watched if i had one notification of your channel!!! At the night i just saw your notification and i just wrapped as a burrito on a blanket and i was ready to watch your video! THANKS, for sharing your great and detailed videos and your pretty art work, Thanks for being always there for showing us that we can do it. THANKS Fraaaaaan love you babe, have a nice and relaxing weekend!!!!!💖✏️💖✨

[@karinlanven3562]

I love the crescent rendr sketchbook for markers, 💜 completely bleed proof!!!

[@cybertraveler5334]

Fran I loved your redrawing of that 2005 sketch. I love my iPad Pro though, it saves me so much on art supplies. Pretty much like going from film to digital. When I saw what David Hockney did on the iPad I was sold. Traditional media has its place, but now if I can create it on a tablet that's my first choice. I work with a Huion GT 221 inch tablet in the studio and my 12.9 iPad Pro every where else, they are great tools to have.

[@MisssRocha]

Best video EVER! Love your hauls!!!!

[@mariaignaciaceamarquez8664]

Ay Fran, que rico verte de nuevooooo. Extrañaba tus videos y me encantaron las nuevas técnicas que estás experimentando 😻❤️ Saludos preciosa ✨✨✨✨

[@KrisseyO]

I love the new designs of the fairies

[@noovernightguests]

Hey Fran! The sketches of the forest creatures are so cute! I think the new version is rad. Would love to see how the tiny paint palette performs in a challenge.

[@guenglitched]

Fran, your videos are always so inspirational, fun, and chill! So glad you’re here to share with us. I’d be interested to know what art apps you’ve tried on the iPad, specifically which one you showed with the colored pencil effect. Could you talk a bit about how you use the iPad in your illustration process, and do you feel like it could be used in place of a cintiq, or would you always want both? Thanks so much, hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!

[@danniespokes4083]

Rendr sketchbooks are amazing for markers, they don't show through at all and polychromo's are the best

[@melissanehc]

OH MY GOD I live in Brooklyn I’m so excited that you’re here!!!

[@saorirf7222]

Flower fairies are so cute! Good you enjoyed your break, hope you got new ideas!

[@ipek1167]

Love your drawing style! Love your art! Thanks for share Fran! Saludos desde Nicaragua!

[@lurea4372]

I TOTALLY understand the discomfort with drawing while filming. I get all flustered over trying to draw at an aesthetically pleasing spot/camera angel and not mess up and it makes me feel more....stiff. Your re-draw came out super lovely though, I love her expression!

[@damndammit3721]

Oh god I really like the way you color with color pencils It is amaaazing

[@clacla4088]

amazing video as always ! Can't wait to see the mini palette challenge :)

[@autumnfesperman7971]

I didn't read all of the comments, and someone may have suggested this already....Have you tried using colored pencil on top of your dry watercolor washes? It gets rid of the white paper specks and allows you to build depth of color without getting too much "wax bloom",. I love seeing you work and listening to you. You are such an inspiration, my Go to" when I need motivation. Your style is awesome!

[@beelmrrs]

I feel like I was jonesing for some Fran time! Really enjoyed today!

[@francesfeng]

Full of inspirations. Thanks a lot.

[@yurifinch3096]

Your videos are fun to watch and listen to.

[@pollitoo3o460]

Fran, me encantan tus videos, recuerdo cuando encontré tu canal hace AÑOS jaja, incluso descargué uno de tus videos en mi teléfono suuuper antiguo y espero pasar esas cosas bellas a la actualidad, ¡el dibujo me ha encantado! me dieron ganas de dibujar de nuevo y ahora probando lápices de colores.

[@couchandbedarecompy]

LOVE the editing and the concept of those post-its!

[@NickiiRose]

🎨 I can't believe you're in my hometown ❤️❤️ I hope you're loving it!! I hope you get to the Village! Super cool shops there!

[@andikid13]

i LOVE your little space buns ✨💕✨

[@kaitlyntran7554]

Honestly love your videos so much!! Such an inspiration! :D

[@nayeliestrada8000]

You're the best ever, love u, you motivate me to follow my dreams and believe that anything is possible 💗💗

[@ellieroe592]

I've just started using more coloured pencils too, aren't they great?! I mostly use them for outlines at the moment (thanks to your videos, actually!) but I love the textures in the illustration you did in this video!

[@lynnede4383]

Art materials hauls are amazing. Envious of your Moleskine purchases. Must get some more and looking forward to the new paper! Intrigued... will watch now :) lunch break of another illustrator lol

[@Meoxypoo]

Loooove that last drawing you did! Please do more

[@KristinWitcher]

I always find your videos so interesting! I'm glad you make them!

[@marcusshaner7066]

Thank goodness you're back!!!!! I was losing my shit!

[@sophiaaraujo6595]

Omg!!! These are my favorite Hauls! Hahaha I love love love your videos and work!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️ please do a review on the iPad Pro!!!!

[@linichef]

Awesome video Fran!! So sad I missed you in NYC but it seems to me you had super fun! I also loveeee Blick! :) Really like how your drawing turned out, great textures and the outlining as you said gives it a lot of dimension and depth,. You really have the most amazing tips!!!!.... BTW what app do you use in your iPad Pro to sketch?

[@JanineA]

Beautiful work 😍

[@UbiquitousRamblings]

Those fairies! ❤

[@artofelm2335]

Hey Fran

[@333chanina]

HI FRANN !!! i'm so happy to see you use color pencils ! I'm really into color pencils personaly ! I use theme on top of watercolor (which i'm using just for making the blank of the paper disappear ) My favorite brand are the polychromos by faber castell because they are oil based they have an hard lead very precise but very smooth and pigmented at the same time ! I'll hope that you'll like the cold pink that you have bought ! ( try a dark color with theme for lining you'll see that they are amazing ! ) Can't wait to see you drawing again !

[@karenmeneses503]

Hola Fran, ayer con toda la inspiración que me das decidí salir a dibujar al bosque! En realidad no siento que sea muy buena dibujando :/ pero realmente quiero seguir intentandolo!, gracias por todo. Espero te la hayas pasado genial en tus vacaciones :)
