FIRST! edit: wow...you guys beat me to it and I uploaded the friggen thing! 😂

[@annieromanova]

What pencil do you use for your under drawing?

[@blahblah12344420]

@@annieromanova prisma col erase in crimson,,,, she said it in the video (;

[@annieromanova]

@@blahblah12344420 thank you!

[@kenz1685]

lmao

[@letticiadelgado9865]

Tip for using tape: Before applying tape, stick it onto a piece of fabric , then strip it off. This way, it will still be sticky, but not strong enough to rip your paper up. Also it doesn't have to be fabric, just any object really. I hope what I'm saying makes sense. If so, good luck trying it out!

[@trish8839]

This was such a game changer

[@sandramckay9606]

You sound so much happier in this video than you ever have previously. I'm so happy to be able to hear you enjoy this process so much more. Can't wait to see what you do next! :)

[@lilyraimey3499]

I remember this concept from your sketchbook! I’m so happy to see it finalized.

[@AudraAuclair]

Me too!!!

[@Floof1122]

me three! so satisfiting to its potential completion!

[@TheAverageArtist]

Your work is always astonishingly good

[@pericelsus]

"Everything I do is a mind-game with myself" is such a mood

[@NikoleTheAnimator]

Gouache is my favorite medium. Ugh, it's so satisfying watching you paint with them. They way you use them is so different than the way I do, so its really refreshing seeing how you use them :) Also I am in love with the screen tone you used for her hair. I didn't realize there were screen tones in such cool patterns. Reminds me of an oil spill, i love the spirals!! I hope you have a lovely week :)

[@AudraAuclair]

Thank you so much! 💖💕 It’s really interesting to see how people use gouache because it really does seem like people have totally different ways of using it.

[@MrMifune666]

Audra this is a lovely piece. But you know what I really enjoyed about it? The white space in the middle of the painting. The confidence NOT to fill every part of the paper shows an assurance that you have in your own abilities. As I watched you develop the painting I was thinking "please don't do it, please don't do it!" And when you didn't do it, I was "I love you, Audra!" ;} Cheers, Andrew.

[@daniellegrim13]

Haha I love the ending “what she gonna do now...” ✨swipe✨

[@AmberMarz]

Wow, the tip with the eyes and teeth is really helpful. I like trying different colors for the whites of the eyes to change the mood of them, its fun to experiment. I like your attitude with this piece, it seems like you had a lot of fun with it and got really into it. I also love how the red outlines somewhat disappeared in places and then blended into the other colors, it adds such a nice depth and idk it just looks really cool.

[@breanawright2110]

Really love the bit at the end where you peeled up the tape and said fuck it, imma still paint cuz I'm a free spirit! I feel like I get so afraid of messing up my watercolors that it hinders my creativity. It's so nice to watch you turn chaos into something beautiful

[@bernadettecraig396]

Struggling through some mental/ physical things for a while and though I don't know you personally of course, seeing your return and watching you paint again has bathed my soul in a warm spring I didn't think id find in the hollow winter of myself I've been struggling in for the last year. I'm glad you're thriving again, even if it may only feel slight some days. It's brought my heart peace knowing someone I admire as a superior and teacher in art is smiling again, and I've found myself picking up my pencil and paint again too. Thank you.

[@amberdulay7238]

I hope you’re enjoying uploading, you definitely sounded more relaxed in the voice over. I appreciate your art, and you putting yourself here for us to enjoy. You are one of the few artist that, every single time I watch your videos, I am immediately so very inspired to create. You have a gift, and I love it!

[@nenybuns]

It's INCREDIBLE to follow your creative process!!! Thank you so much for explaining it while you go and sharing your internal thoughts! The painting is absolutely GORGEOUS! As an art beginner it's fascinating to see your steps and right when I thought " oh amazing, she is adding green to the wolf!! So mind blowing! This must have such an intellectual reason, like, is the plant giving off light?! Or is it an artistic choice of explaining the wolf is overtaken by the flora around and is mutating???! SO AMAZING" and then you said you just felt like it, so here we go and I was double mind blown XD It is soooo refreshing to see an artist do whatever they want because they FEEL like it! Your heart tells you to do more green streaks? Heck yes,go for it!! We are way too surrounded by social media and what society deems pretty, it's the right time to just THRIVE as an artist and do whatever feels best! And to be honest: your art might be as incredible and mysterious and otherworldly because you just go with your gut. Thank you so much again for sharing this, I had an incredible time listening to you explaining your process! (If this painting ever ends up as a print, PLEASE let us know!!)

[@AG-bq2zd]

When you were talking about tricking yourself to finish paintings I FELT that gah literally adhd in a nutshell!!

[@Alyssia297]

im so happy you re back on youtube :)

[@AudraAuclair]

Me too. It feels right.And I'm glad you're happy.💖

[@unintrestednerd]

Here I was feeling lazy and uninspired until I saw your video, and went like "hey, now I want to paint too." So yes, you keep inspiring me. ❤️

[@BeckiBrutal]

Its so nice to see you sharing your art and process to us all and the journey you've taken in becoming more accepting and happy with your work! Its always inspiring to see as someone who has struggled with comparing myself to others and never being happy with whatever I make. Your commentary was definitely giving me Bob Ross vibes, calm and positive but also very honest :)

[@briaroche1995]

I desperately miss videos like this. Glad you’re back❤️

[@matthewstraub4343]

Your commentary is so calming I luv.

[@Aquatwin22]

ART GOALS HOLY SHIT, THIS IS AMAZING. i feel that tho, the perfectionism bug ironically always makes the art far more stiff, a combo of one, mess shows action but 2, if you get so hung up on making one thing perfect you waste time you coulda spent just making more art to hone your skill instead. im glad you're working on embracing the mess part of the art process, all the experimentation!

[@kitsunebushi]

I'm so happy you're back!! I bought Fragments Vol.1 and it currently has a proud place on my ottoman

[@theduke5355]

My favorite artist is back!!!! 😍😍😍

[@lexusgarces9448]

Wow you are 1) ridiculously talented and 2) ridiculously authentic too? Like if I watched most other artists do this I’d definitely feel bad about my own art but you’re so authentic and friendly and not condescending at all it just feels like I’m watching a friend 🥲 . Giving little tips here and there, keeping it loose and fun, love that.

[@AudraAuclair]

I am not a fan of condescending or pretentious. I want to be the exact opposite so thank you I feel validated lol, this has made my day!

[@AnnaGlin]

I still can't quite believe you're back! 💕

[@bluesunflower1698]

I never stop amazed with your painting

[@emilymitsuoka7799]

Your work and painting videos are so lovely. Watching you create or even talk through your sketchbooks helps me decompress and feel at ease. Thank you for creating and sharing!

[@noramikkelsen8203]

It makes me so happy that you're back on yt

[@KaleidoscopeVisuals]

I love the dark subdued color palette. 24:30 Three swipes! No way... That's perfect.

[@jayperezart]

WOW, the teal and pink are berryy kewwwl!

[@iollankmurphy4496]

your narration at the end had me in stitches omg.. totally relate about the 'is it finished yet? yes. no. yes. wait no-' dilemma though :)

[@55thuman]

This is the best goauche painting ive ever seen. Thank you!

[@tamararambo3079]

Love the details of the wolf’s teeth; terrifying, yet cool.

[@biancaluv9754]

thank you soooo so much for coming back to the internet these videos never fail to impress/inspire me

[@kiakamill]

This is beautiful it gives me a princess mononoke vibes mainly cause the wolf o.o

[@alohi104]

I’m so happy to see you making videos again. I admire your work sooo much. Been a fan since 2015 and I’ll support you forever more! 🤍✨ sending you, lopi, and the kitties lots of love from Hawai’i! 🤍

Love your color palette and the hearts on the yellow blanket are perfect. Great work!

[@zamaragreenwood5916]

Audra! It's so awesome to see you back! I love your art!

[@39Bosski]

Beautiful work. It's very ethereal. First time watching your video and love the fact that your palette is visible, adding an extra window into your masterful work.

[@amandawadman6516]

Love how you narrated this video! Your voice is so plesent to listen to ❤️

[@meghanjudge1629]

Oh so lovely to watch. Also the end of the video your really funny. Thank you for coming back to KZbin. Your my favourite artist to watch!

[@maluridae_]

Always makes me happy and gives me my own hope to see you upload

[@AriaFawn]

Someone else might have mentioned it, but if you ever do have to paint over graphite lines, putting a layer of clean water over them first, and allowing it to fully dry, keeps them from blurring and muddying your colours! Also, I wanted to say how much confidence this video gave me. I also have a chaotic way of painting and I just had to film a 20+ hour art instructional course and was so worried it would annoy people to see my chaos and wild ways! But seeing an artist I respect with a similar technique reassured my anxieties

[@027erod]

I LOVE the colors you used in this! very excited for the prints!!

[@supmilou]

wow I've never been this early~☺️🎨✨ gorg painting Audra :)

[@KitkatCrunchable]

So glad to see you're back :') We missed u

[@DarkMagicianGirl3218]

wow, i forgot how much i enjoyed watching your process videos!! even though it's 25 minutes long the time seems to fly by when i'm watching these. it's great to have you back on youtube, i'm glad you're doing better

[@loupblanc57310]

Everytime you post a video or a picture of one of your artwork, you immediatly inspire me to make art. Every single time. Thank you

[@LyndaElizabethCreator]

Yay!! I was trying to figure out how you did this!!! The grey swirly bits were TRIPPING me out!!!

[@LyndaElizabethCreator]

I wrote this comment before watching the whole video. Guess I was excited lol I was literally at work talking to a coworker about how you did the swirls. We thought you did some kind of really diluted pour painting, or water marbled your paper beforehand. Just thought I’d share that with you in case it’s something you’d ever like to try to get a similar effect. I know you’ve done pours before, but didn’t know if you’d tried water marbling. BTW I love that you’ve been on KZbin.

[@bellacoffe615]

You probably have done this before, but a good underline is a very diluted acrylic gouache. It won’t pop out too much at all and it won’t wash away. If anything it leaves a nice tone underneath. Also this painting is absolutely stunning.

[@briikachu5994]

So good to have you back♡♡

[@miyuuri8591]

Exactly! Just do what you want to do ♥

[@WhitneyPaigeArt]

I do the exact same thing with painting the face first so that I have permission and motivation to do the rest of the painting! Glad I'm not the only one.

[@zoravermilya8993]

I’m so grateful for you Audra. I hope you’re enjoying creating beautiful works of art and chatting with us as much as I enjoy watching. Hopefully, KZbin is a better experience for you this time around. For my part, I’m so glad you’re back. ✨

[@maroonedinblue]

Your color palette in this painting.. ImMACulatE

[@countendreco8888]

that screen tone fits your work so perfectly! ugh so beautiful!

[@mayalua1]

Happy to see you! And I love hearing your voice, kinda chill me, I think you have the Bob Ross power

[@candidvampire9178]

Its so good to see you again! Your work is such an inspiration

[@rachron2601]

Your work resonates with me on such a deep level, I’m so glad you’re back. Look after yourself 💕❤️🌸

[@samsillistrations7617]

the dripy and bubbly lines thing lol we have that in common i think that's cool i love to mix animals and humans in my art and have a lot of fun your videos are very relaxing to watch and even just play the vid and listen to your voice while i draw thank you so much

[@ZacharyVannett]

I LOVE YOUR ART AND VIDEOS, AUDRA !

[@MazaArts]

This looks so beautiful 😍😍 I also very much like the tips you gave for painting with Gouache! They’re really useful 🙌🏻

[@brimasu]

This turned out so great! 😍 I want to say the (as you called it) “weird colors” you added to the wolf by just doing what felt right to you in the moment worked perfectly. From what I see it looks a bit green so it looks like the color of the leaves are reflecting off the wolf, so it really helped tie it all together and feel like it’s in the same space. Hope that makes sense. Always follow your intuition and do what feels right! Amazing things happen! Also I definitely think I need to get some of that screentone, it was an awesome touch!

[@luisaaagm]

So happy to see your videos again! love your work

[@LanaGoesArt]

This looks amazing! Watercolor for linework will often react with water (especially easy to lift colours), so maybe choose staining ones or a waterproof ink? I think in this case it worked so well as an underpainting. :)

[@ArbitraryOnslaught]

beautiful. Awesome as always! and I will definitely check out the show

[@evien.ink_youtube]

amazing piece of art 🔥 and love the ending .. funny and accurate lol

[@sofiewindsrygg2959]

Its always so inspiring to watch how you work!! Loved this painting💖🌸💕

Amazing! Thanks for sharing Audra

[@Darkbulb1]

Such beautiful work! love this video

[@BeastVoodoo]

This is mindfullness, gosh, watching you paint is mesmerizing.

[@KAW67]

It was so wonderful being able to hear you speak from the heart about the joy you experienced painting this. Seeing you flourish in making art makes me and your followers so happy

[@babie_asha]

I absolutely love you and your work so much. The fact that we are both Scorpio artists with depression and ADHD, resonates with me soooo deeply. I appreciate you for sharing your artwork and your journey with us. It’s nice having someone to relate to. ✨✨✨

[@senuri7817]

This painting is so pretty

[@laaskrinart138]

Your gouache technique really is amazing! And you sounds so much happier in this videos than previous ones, it’s really nice to hear!

[@felipeleoni]

Amazing, Audra! Always fun to watch your painting process. Loved the result :)

[@ericabettencourt3027]

Your work and openness with the things you struggle with inspires me so much! Both of your books are amongst my favorites. Thank you!

[@Iss3511]

your work is amazingggg

[@johnkillink]

Hey Audra!! Awesome painting. Love to see your videos again! so great to have you back. I can tell from your voice that you are well and having fun with your art. I'm so happy for you. So... you mentioned you like screen tones. I must assume you like manga o comics too. Would you mind if I send you some of my comics for you and Lopy to read?

[@topiesponja]

Your art is incredibly inspiring

[@sydneyjamie3973]

So happy to see the outcome of this after hearing you talk about wanting to do this in your sketchbook tour 🥰

[@robbinsart320]

So happy you're back! You're videos alsways used (and now are again) to be a highlight of my day and inspired me to really start taking art seriously. I would like to thank you for that! I would probably have never gotten where I am now without them. Hope all is well. And I wish you all the luck in the world!

[@teenytinykittenbeans]

Watching your process videos is such a soothing and magical experience. Thank you for coming back and sharing more of your videos with us! ^_^

[@becks13x]

Your artwork is very visually pleasing for me. But it also makes me go into deep thought. A lot of emotions come up for me when I see your art

[@gaphic]

Your little sports commentary on yourself is so cute and joyful ❤️

[@LaurenceP-art]

That was so satisfying to watch 😍I'm so happy you're back!

[@parkerking913]

Your artwork and process is legit so inspiring and motivating for me. Your art and story of getting through most of the bad parts of life has influenced my art and my identity as an artist. Just letting you know you are special and very very loved! 🥺♥️

[@SashaFitzgerald]

Absolutely stunning! I really enjoyed watching your process, makes me want to experiment with gouache again! 😍💜

[@heyitsimme2335]

Thank you for uploading this! I really appreciate being able to see this full painting come to life after you had said you’d been thinking about this concept so much! It means a lot to me and I am very grateful for finding you!

[@marie-claireblais9658]

Omg it’s soooo pretty !! 😍 I just got some Acryla gouache this morning. Only got 6 tubes tho... so difficult to choose !! They have so much pretty colors 🙈

[@dianasoto1451]

love when you keep adding the details after having "finished" lol beautiful piece

[@MrZeagans]

Beautiful piece 😊🧡 I've found a super good "delicate surface" painters tape made by 3M that is purple and gives crisp edges but peels clean without a hairdryer. I found at my local hardware store and I'll never go back to green or blue tape.

[@NaClockNile]

I'm so happy to see you making videos again 💕 definitely love putting these on and just relaxing at home

[@evenmegan]

Gorgeous as ever! So glad to see you back into the swing of things. Absolutely no pressure of course, just wonderful to get notifications from you again (:
