I find its when they're the most honest about their experiences as youtubers, about multitasking as entertainers while drawing, etc. I still remember Karina & Jacob discussing her initial anxiety about having to be funny when she joined, and then gradually easing into it. It's a real authenticity I appreciate, being wary of other 'influencers' who fake everything for the camera

[@russelljohnson7004]

@@37thraven yessssss. obviously a lot of the appeal is the goofs and the final renders, but I stick with Drawfee because I like watching the process. and not just mechanical stuff; the crew shows how social support via constructive feedback is a part of that process--they model how to workshop one's art, and even how to just be a friend to someone struggling with a project so badly that it shakes their self-esteem. and even beyond that, like how you mention the meta process of not just making art, but doing the show about their art. I don't like throwing the word "authentic" around about media because at the end of the day we can't objectively gauge that, but their willingness to pull back the curtain that virtually everyone else leaves hanging is just such a mark of integrity, and it blends so well with all the talent on display. nevermind the fact that they're all amazing at what they do, I'm just impressed that they're able to be emotionally vulnerable on camera.

I seriously would like to know if there's a way to purchase prints of pieces they've done for the show.

[@wompus_king]

Patreon is the way

[@37thraven]

I'd add box art for an old cartridge nintendo RPG, or a newer indie game, turned DS port. Hell yeah!@@Mara_1337 City of the beasts especially.

[@yphre]

everyone talking about the colors and their process, while Julia ticks of a whole list of kingisher facts. splendid. edit: YES, please do it again! I love color challenges and you all came with such different and cool pieces

[@SailorCSH]

My headcanon for Greyson Map is that he’s York’s secret half brother, bitter that York got to live as a prince while his father didn’t even acknowledge his existence. I love episodes where you can tell that they had a chill time and really enjoyed the challenge!

[@adambrawerman1675]

Julia's illustrations led me to this idea: Create tattoos. You can sketch as much as you want, but when it comes to final inking, you only get one shot. You can't erase final inking or coloring.

[@vcbruh_1103]

This is a great idea

[@clockworkpotato9892]

I think Jacob's could be a tattoo as well.

[@rafamadeit]

I can hear the frustration of fighting that ctrl+z instinct

[@shelbymachado8712]

Suuuuch a fun challenge.

[@FableFire]

I’d love to see you guys do the “surprise color” challenge. You roll for 4 random colors, a dark tone, 2 mids, and a light tone. Make a palette on the canvas, then throw a hue layer with a white fill and color pick from your palette to paint. Then you turn off the hue layer at the end and see what you ended up with!

[@alexbucsp]

Sometimes I forget how actually incredibly talented this people are.

[@37thraven]

It's easy considering how often they have to contort their drawing skills to bizarre hybrid suggestions. They all unanimously gushed about how much they liked to just zen out on their own ideas this ep

[@ArrogantDan]

If you can't handle me at my Karina while Jacob is trying to intro the episode, you don't deserve me at my Karina watching Jacob speed-draw.

[@checkeredlemons79]

Nathan's lineless work is so therapeutic and im not even sure why like hed make a great children's book

[@morgandea]

To quote jacob from the fan art episode, "I'm obsessed with this torso" (on karina's drawing). It's so good

[@killerweasel]

I get bursts of pure joy when they genuinely compliment each other's art, and they'll genuinely say thank you. It's so wholsome, I wanna puke. But like a happy puke. Just 4 amazing artists creating amazing art. And game recognize game.

[@halearomero493]

"a happy puke" 🤣🤣🤣

[@russelljohnson7004]

every time someone starts getting down on themselves about their composition, and everyone else immediately helps them understand why they're great, it gives me so much life. there was an era where every time Nathan followed up Julia he'd beat himself up by constantly comparing himself to her, and she would without fail come through with genuine, helpful positive feedback. such a wonderful way to get through the artistic process.

[@jontandy3537]

Nathan’s crystals gave me big Bad JRPG vibes and I kinda want to see more of that now.

[@samllyn]

me: how will jacob, fellow colourblindee, deal with this challenge, which revolves entirely around seeing the colours and being inspired by them jacob: so i worked entirely in grayscale you sly dog -- edit -- it comes up in turning famous paintings into anime where he uses the color picker tool to match his colors to the painting. its mentioned in the drawfee extra vid jacob and julia answer your art questions where they both show their colouring methods.

[@breezza_time]

wait jacob is colorblind?

[@vidatalab8301]

@@breezza_time yeah. I didn’t know until recently when he and Julia played everhood, and he applied the colorblind setting because he was colorblind

[@Mara_1337]

@@vidatalab8301 as in bad at seeing red-green or entirely colourblind? The first one is not that uncommon among men but being entirely colourblind would highly surprise me

[@vidatalab8301]

@@Mara_1337 I don’t believe he’s fully colorblind. It might be red-green, but I can’t remember if he specified.

[@mme.veronica735]

@@Mara_1337 It's red green colourblind but he has grown use to where the colours are in photoshop that he doesn't mess up his colours much these days

[@squishykotetsu]

"Snystal chapel" - man, Julia's mind sure goes places, huh? I almost feel bad for how unrecognized that joke went by

[@gnat685]

Karina's pieces always blow me away with their composition and execution, and just sheer prettiness of the characters.

[@travisdabis9805]

Video idea: Mash this this and the same character prompt idea together. Everyone gets the same pallete but obviously Everyone does their own unique thing !!! Also I love everyone's piece very much mwah

[@dmboy1396]

or it could be the same prompt with different pallets for each one?

[@LavastormSW]

@@dmboy1396 Do both!!

[@weaouw]

One of my new favorite videos from Drawfee. I would *love* more of this challenge. The resulting art was all amazing, _and_ it seemed like everyone drawing enjoyed it a lot.

[@carly2290]

I would love a full challenge episode where everyone presets a gradient map like Jacob did. Also more of this in general please.

[@josepholiveira2873]

I loved the little doodles at the start of Nathan's portion when he was brainstorming. Lots of really nice little art pieces on their own in there (loved the beautiful sunset with the little magenta angry boys).

[@levi_ackerman_119]

This may sound strange, but I’ve gone from mild insomnia to moderate and I’ve… recently been listening to y’all’s videos to help me fall asleep. I’m currently able to with just one video now, which I’m sorta proud of, but anyway, I just wanted to thank you guys. You’re voices are calming and you always sound like you’re having fun. It’s a very stabilizing environment for my brain, so… again, strange thanks. It is also entertaining to see the results after I wake up. 😊

Every illustration was unbelievably impressive this episode.

[@samfraulo]

This prompt really allowed them to do what they loved and excelled at. So good.

[@Palozon]

Today, Jacob actually defused the 'we all have em, who needs em" bit attempt in the intro

[@garrettrasmussen6894]

Sometimes, in the midst of all the jokes and friendly put downs, I forget that Jacob is incredibly intelligent. Then he does stuff like this and I am reminded of reality.

[@37thraven]

"The most sensual foot is the foot you can't see" - Nathan coming in with high concept fetish psychology in erotica art, (that the crew totally missed, but we didn't! 23:13) "Sorry feet people, no feet pics"

[@zippydipity42]

I loved how sincere Julia sounded, saying "This is fantastic, man". Damn Nathan hit it outta the park on this one

[@Sco6014]

This episode really was a joy to watch. Everyone was really vibing and it was cool to see everyone flex their style without being bound by a specific prompt.

[@dammitspawk]

jacob, enviously: wow nathan you got colours that work really well together me: hmm i wonder what colours jacob got (seeing jacobs colour palette): oh.

[@regularwonderland]

I'm only halfway through, but I'm already SO impressed. They seem really chill about it, but like. These are really good.
