[@RockCandie]

wow it's been three years- the nostalgia ^^

[@charmacmillan7062]

You know, River, a couple of years ago, I had no idea how to draw a cat. You inspired me to practise until I didn't make them look like mutants ^_^ And now, I draw cats all the time, like yours: anime, on my computer, in my schoolbooks... Forget that last one X)So thank you, River, for inspiring me...

[@hummingbrdjuice]

WAIT THIS IS SO CUTE do u still draw??

[@charmacmillan7062]

@@hummingbrdjuice haha yep, 4 years later I'm still going 😂 not as frequently mind you... I still use a technique strongly influenced by River, and still adore watching her videos too

[@hummingbrdjuice]

@@charmacmillan7062 woah that’s awesome!! Congrats on 4+ years of art my dude :)

[@cozynebula13]

+River Spirit I see that FeatherSongDrawz likes Echosmith! Not saying they're a bad band, but I'm making an assumption based on the two songs in this speedpaint

[@ethereaipawsi3419]

+Tigerlilly Productions These are actually the only two songs I know from EchoSmith x3 My cousin chose one of the songs And I chose the other

[@cozynebula13]

Oh I see. Thnx for the clarification! =3

[@danideer3717]

Sorry to bother you but what size canvas do you use? Thanks anyways

[@burntpaws]

+River Spirit Question: How do I send you money for commissions? Or a description for what I want speedpainted / commissioned? 'Cause... it's so tempting! ^w^

[@RockCandie]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG TYSM RIV! U DA BEST

[@maddie2355]

I love how Emiko looks! :D

[@seijoh7]

That derp though xD

[@RockCandie]

+BrandiDragon yes. lightning is very derp :PPPP

[@seijoh7]

xD But she's so cute! :D

[@howlinggaj9999]

1:19 oh my god XD

[@seijoh7]

xD

[@ashtonfrost5753]

+Lightning At Heart hey! Rude! I am not a DERP!

[@Nyxxall]

The problem with me watching speedpaints is that whenever i do, it always makes me want to draw too.

[@kadeolsen463]

Emiko's tail is like...double awesome!!!

[@enchantedmoonlight1904]

This is the level of awesomeness in art I hope to achieve in the future

[@melindapan3844]

SO MANY UPLOADS!!! I feel blessed.

[@nights_the_nightingale]

Emiko's tail is awesome! LightningHeart has freckles! I want FeatherSong's necklace!

[@skyfirewolf7527]

1:24 That derp though XD

[@categrieve9881]

Yay for Steven Universe, The Legend of Korra, and River Spirit!

[@screeching949]

Derpyniss is sometimes cute, love the cat w/ wings! :)

[@kirinnamedleafidk213]

Dude Emiko looks so cool

[@meadowecislo9261]

Imagine how cool it would be if River did one of herself.. But like as a person not as River. I just think thatd be super cool 😛

[@y0ur_l0cal_crypt1d4]

4:12 Me when the song starts playing : YAAAAASSSS

[@diamondpandasam7559]

I can just see me and my peeps doing this lol, sitten around then all of a sudden (at same time randomly we all shout) "RAINBOWS!!!" XD

[@mypersonalaccount6959]

These look AMAZING! All of the markings are really pretty, but my favorite one is the one on the left because of the wings and tail! AMAZING JOB RIVER!!!!!!!!!!

[@mypersonalaccount6959]

+Mittens&Miaow And the one on the left is SO colorful and pretty! This was made on November first (as you can see in the bottom right corner) and so it must have taken a long time to edit ):( But that's okay because it was SO WORTH IT! The songs are a good choice, but you could have chosen Neon lights by Demi Lavato (is that how you spell it?), but I know those songs were requested, so that's fine! Still good songs anyway!

[@stevemeggaming5323]

You are so awesome River, I never really drew cats until I came across your vids and art! You became such an inspiration, and now I draw cats all the time!! Thanks.

[@ashleighchapple2969]

Oh River... you've gotten so much better with your drawings. I know you probably get this many times every day... but I just wanted to thank you for uploading your artwork and inspiring thousands of kids around the world. Just... thank you.

[@dreem1514]

Yet ANOTHER wonderful work of art, +River Spirit! What would my eyes do without you? :3

[@sammy4088]

I love this The colours, the songs, the artwork Its all beautiful!!

[@rainclaw00]

Definitely one of my favorites!

[@knightynight]

Emiko reminds me for Rainbow Dash :3

[@ashtonfrost5753]

I'll tell her you said that XD

[@ethereaipawsi3419]

+Craftysupergirls do you even know who emoji belongs to?

[@ashtonfrost5753]

1. you spelled her name wrong confirming that you are a poser, I mean, the real Feathersongdrawz wouldn't misspell her own characters name. 2. Yes, I do, she belongs to Feathersongdrawz, who, by the way, is not you Feather Song

[@ethereaipawsi3419]

Nope. Auto correct. I am on my phone. Emiko does not belong to me she belongs to NekoDerpPotato​

[@ashtonfrost5753]

Feather Song Auto correct is so annoying, and I'm sorry for everything again, I'm sure you've seen my other comments by now.

[@TheQueenofNeckbeards]

[@RockCandie]

+TacoNoob Gamer YEES -this was my commision too~-

River Spirit! Your amazing, I remember a few months back I showed you to my friend and she was hesitant.. NOW Whenever I ask if shes seen any video of yours, she has! She loves you! You fill me with inspiration, and I love you as well!

[@Anna-zc9pp]

[@jalebeat9640]

[@abigail-dr8is]

[@oliverspencer3835]

+Wolf Heart I think the person who commissioned this really likes Echosmith x3

[@WolfSongDraws]

+Angela Spencer probs XD

[@feathersong2795]

+Angela Spencer actually I just like the song Bright by echo smith, my cousin chose the song cool kids. X3

[@skelett0n]

River Spirit + Art = Beutifulness (its not a word XD)

[@lelieakiha]

Heya, River! I just started watching all your videos, and when i hit the shuffle button, this one came first! And it is the one i remember most, so thats fun! I hope I can relearn drawing cats by watching you again!

[@tawny4622]

Wow. Just wow. Beautiful! You're a big Inspiration to me!

[@sanguinesatellite808]

Emiko has a beautiful tail. Great job River :D

[@notmefriendo.o531]

WOW! 0_0 You are best drawer ever :D And ofcourse music is good :D Awesome :D

[@stardust470]

[@lonelywolffen9641]

[@wintersong1123]

I saw jacks films XD Great art as always you inspired me with backgrounds They are so cute too

[@melissakee2286]

The shading is soo good!

[@teaboxkat5465]

How do you always manage to put some my favorite songs into the music of the video? :'D

[@jalebeat9640]

Cuz she's magical >:D

[@teaboxkat5465]

oh no

[@jettash0720]

I like the songs but one should've been Colours of the Rainbow by Italobrothers. Either way it's still an awesome drawing River, nice work!

[@OkamiAkiChan]

Emiko looks like Rainbow Dash as a cat :3

[@sloppyjoewithnobeef4076]

😂 omg you right!!

[@stuckinacup]

1:16 X3 great job River! keep it UP!!!

[@ghstieanimates7599]

[@tendnotto]

[@ThatHawksSimp]

I saw Marceline the vampire queen and I was like ADVENTURE TIME!!!!

[@ashtonfrost5753]

My friend requested this! I am Lightningheart! U r awesome River Spirit!

[@ethereaipawsi3419]

you are not lightning

[@ashtonfrost5753]

Uh yeah I kind of am, and you are not the real Feathersongdrawz either, you are a poser and a wannabe who didn't get her suggestion done, so you are faking this. I'm not being mean, I'm speaking the truth Feather Song

[@lolaroseluck9154]

+Craftysupergirls um I don't think you are ... good prank though ;)

[@ethereaipawsi3419]

Craftysupergirls that's not the truth. What's my real IRL name then??

[@ashtonfrost5753]

I don't know, my friend just told me that she LIED about being Feathersongdrawz, so that we could have spotlight. I'm sorry for being so rude : (Feather Song

[@west9500]

they are also blushing

[@lydiad4447]

Hey River... I don't know if you have any control over this, but your speedpaint Cryo isn't available in America. Just so you know.

[@lydiad4447]

*Cyro

[@TheRalcantara72]

This remind me of Jayfeather Lionblaze and Dovewing in the power of three.

[@galaxycat0446]

amazing! i love your work!

[@fionaherrmann7416]

So beautiful *-*

[@dablueartist12]

What brush do you use to make the lines ??

[@jordandonaldson4233]

River Spirit, do you have a tutorial for drawing the wings?

[@stillnesssandscar2527]

Feathersong looks like Silverstream~

[@pipersinurmaiIbox]

When I heard the first song I'm Like: :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOL KIDS ):O On Animaljam We Did Rainbow Bunnies ouo

[@apdecentdude5060]

^-^ amazing job River and wow!! Lots up updates! Can't wait for more, but I have a little question :) Are commissions open? (;~; I'm so sorry if this question has been asked a million times, with school and all I can't keep up with my daily KZbin.) And if they are, how do you pay or place one? I really was thinking of maybe placing one for my moms birthday :) But if their all filled, that's totally okay ^3^ Love your art work, keep at it!

[@cel5901]

+SilverTheWolf I think it's through deviantart... You have to buy point and give points to her. She has different prices for every animal. As an example, horse costs 250 points, human costs 300 points, cats cost 200 points etc. I'm not really sure about prices.

[@apdecentdude5060]

+Selin Erdal Thanks for the info!!! I'll check it out!!!

[@lilfluffproductions1064]

I just wanna give you a heads up, your latest video; I'm not sure it's available in the US. I tried to watch it and it won't let me.

[@koiio9592]

I'm loving all these videos regularly! 😝

[@cassi-opeia528]

Same :D

[@davidpotts7116]

Looks great, River :)

[@kaybug9825]

This is amazing river 😃 I would really love to make a request 😍 You really inspire me so much 😊

[@soominhan2818]

You can commission her, she doesn't take requests. Probably never will

[@kaybug9825]

Soo Min Han​ I know but i just don't have the money

[@soominhan2818]

Okay

[@velksspup]

Can you please leave a link of where i can download that kind of Paint tool? Thank you!

[@jadedghostt]

Beautiful river 😄

[@pipeer9117]

Hey, You gonna do a Star Wars Paint in celebration of when it comes out? Or have you never seen the movies? Or do you just not like them ;-;

[@nataliemarie9909]

HOW. CAN. YOU. BE. SO. GOOD. AT. ART. WHEN. I. FAIL? IT'S NOT FAIR!

[@-nolongeractive-3958]

+Natalie Brown I believe it's practice ;3

[@nataliemarie9909]

+Cookie CatAJ I practice, I just need to work on it more (especially proportions).

[@-nolongeractive-3958]

Natalie Brown I do to, I mean, it might take a while, but we'll get there ^-^

[@miriones]

This video inspired me to practice drawing on computer instead of paper, I don't know how you draw with a mouse and how easy it is T-T

[@mika1664]

she draws with a pad and its a bit difficult but exercise makes a Master: )

[@foxsprout5219]

I wish I could be good at art like you..

[@i.5eraph1m]

NEW FAVORITE OMG

[@backupaccount8739]

RIVER YOUR NEW VIDEO IS NOT AVALIBLE IN OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE OF VICTOR ENTERTAINMENT HELP ;-;

[@quesospoon3787]

Emiko's tail tho :3

[@totallynotpoisonedsoup8680]

[@beanman7716]

River should start putting how long it took IRL to draw her pictures! Do you think so?

[@sailorsao2011]

Ikr I thought the same thing X3

[@lilbox1806]

Awesome!

[@avairye3487]

how large of a canvas do u use?

[@vsatter116]

I've only been drawing traditionally, and have recently wanted to start digitally! Can anyone recommend an art program for a digital beginner? Thank you :D

[@jalebeat9640]

MS paint/ paint.net their good programs for a beginner MS paint is very basic, which is good for getting used to digital art. Later on, once your better you can move on to better quality programs.

[@sabthefab4575]

I use ibis paint X It's not for computer but it's for mobile devices

[@sabthefab4575]

+Sabrina Nor ibis paint is more advanced so when you got used to paint.net then you can use ibis paint :D

[@sarahsherwood8530]

I use fire alpaca it's free and very similar to Photoshop and Sai. :) good luck with your art!

[@p-yvern8922]

I started off using Autodesk Sketchbook, then I moved on to SumoPaint ( Free online version ). I'd recommend both, though, AutoDesk Sketchbook has to be downloaded, I think.

[@ethereaipawsi3419]

+Crazysupergirls Ok let's get this straight. 1. I AM the FeatherSongDrawz that ordered this commissions. 2. You are NOT LightningHeart 3. you do NOT know me irl 4. I am NOT standing next to you irl 5. You do not know NekoDerpPotato IRL 6. DO you have any proof you are telling the truth? 7. I have loads of proof that i am

[@ashtonfrost5753]

Feather Song Riverspirit put "That derp though" when she was drawing my character, and now it's a joke. Sad face

[@ethereaipawsi3419]
