Snow Cat Prince style exploration DRAW WITH ME Ep 1

[@DinaNorlund]

This video is super long and is mainly for you to use as background noise while you work on your own projects. I'm chatting and drawing away and it was fun! I didn't know what do to for this weeks video so this ended up being it, I hope you don't mind. More doll/design videos when I finish my Kickstarter shipping! Love you all, have a fantastic weekend

[@noahkennel5034]

I would like to merge my style in to a kind of Japanese style like this.I loved listening to your thoughts while you were drawing.

[@Keithlynd_]

It does work wonder as background noises when I'm doing my inktober today. Plus your voice is so soothing. Love it ❤️ also love the painting

[@Panpanpaja]

Really love your relaxing videos and streams. ♥ Sadly I missed your latest stream.T^T

[@DinaNorlund]

Aw thank you! I'm sorry, I was planning on streaming way into the night but our washer broke so I had to end early :(

[@Panpanpaja]

No worries, I'm watching it right now and hope to catch you online the next time. ♥ I'm sorry about the washer. I hope it's not too expensive to get repaired.

[@haleyclark3803]

I love having these longer-form vlogs while I'm working on my own stuff- especially during Inktober when I'm hungry for longer content. Thanks Dina!!

[@Anna-pj8te]

Wow, I went through the whole video without double tapping to the right. That’s an accomplishment.

[@Anna-pj8te]

@christopher henderson what?

[@brooke1180]

snow cat prince? *never clicked so fast*

[@noahkennel5034]

I saw it when I turned on my phone and I clicked right away

[@hanjibear]

More videos like this please! I love watching whilst I work/ doing boring things like washing pots ☺️

[@deathofmice8258]

It's really nice having this as background while I'm drawing. I like that you're talking about what you're drawing and other things, makes it more interesting. Loving this style.

[@popflickbogeypoo]

I absolutely loved this video. Your picture reminds me of a book I own. The moomins midwinter front cover. I can’t wait to see your cute book. Lovely backgrounds really get me going! More backgrounds please you are very talented thank you so much for your beautiful videos xxx

[@beetea]

i love all of these really long draw with me videos! your art style really inspires me to try new things with my art and your voice is really soothing to listen to. overall 100/10 would listen to again

[@bubblehues1391]

I know I'm late but your draw with me vids really helps! I usually don't even watch/listen to these type of vids, but since I was bored and stressed I listened to this and started sketching-I mean almost half of my giant sized sketch book was filled 😄. I might watch more vids like this from now on. Anyways love you and your art 😀😊❤

[@D0NTHEMAN]

Long?Man,I wanted this to never end! It was so cool!

[@magichite6193]

Ong could you PLEASE MAke a watercolour tutorial

[@user-xf8sq6dj5c]

Magichite yes please

[@magna8738]

we love an artistic business woman, can't wait to see your company grow with your books.

[@Forouzad]

Thanks for your time you spent for this video. The piece is amazing! Please do more of this type .

[@zenlilystudios2753]

this was nice and perfect to listen to for doing my own work and the piece was peaceful in tone love it

[@wolfshuu]

Some of those pictures that inspired you are actually Japanese woodprints. A really old but still pretty cool art style. Worth the time to look into it if you care. :)

[@bavovanacker5339]

I like how your video's feel so lofi and relaxed. It's perfect for studying.

[@laurengeorge5946]

I really enjoyed you just talking while drawing I would like to see more videos like this! 😀😀😀

[@spiritwaterwolf]

I am just recently getting into your chat while you doodle. and just before you made mention of the beauty in the imperfect, wabi sabi was what i wanted to blurt out as I am sketching. Wabi Sabi is what i base a lot of my own artistic work around and use it in my photo compositions, which I later use in my own artwork/paintings.... Keep up the amazing work.

[@Miggeamakes]

This was so fabulously chill I looooved it! Beautiful illustration 💜💜💜 makes me wanna play with watercolours!

[@TsulaAngenati2292]

You inspire me drawing, I’m not that good in my eyes at all yet, but some day I hope to be as close to I can be as great

[@kevincooper5656]

Beautiful work. I learned so much just by watching you paint. You also made me realize that I can use "color references" when planning my own pieces. Color has always been a point of frustration of my art game and when I saw that you were using pics you found on Pinterest I was like, "D'oh! So simple - why didn't I think of that??" Any way thanks for putting this vid out and keep up the excellent work.

[@SteffeySixx]

I have to say that I really enjoy videos like this. I love artist's blogs that i can listen to in the background while I doodle or work on my stuff, so I was really excited when I saw the thumbnail for this video! I would appreciate more of that sort! Also your art is stunning and so inspiring to me. Keep it up!

[@celagail]

I think Japanese calligraphy drawings are beautiful too. Really like the environment style you were going for with your Snowcat Prince story! Maybe your story could be an epic like Homer’s Odyssey or Gulliver’s Travels? A journey story that takes the characters and readers to distant, snow-covered lands? Hopefully I don’t sound like I’m pushing a story idea on you, but it would give you a chance to explore different environmental backgrounds like this one.

[@CookieScrat]

It was super nice drawing along with you! And your illustration is gorgeous, I really love this style, and I'm super hyped for this project!

[@featherquill1662]

Wow your watercolour work is on point! I absolutely love it, keep up the amazing artwork!

[@TheGoblinKiing]

this is like a Bob Ross video😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@mpsensha]

Love the atmosphere in this piece, how soft and fluffy the surroundings look.

[@marymikel9193]

I found another art youtuber yay! This is such a beautiful clam piece thank you for sharing and God bless you to know him in Yashuas name.

[@chelsbee]

i really enjoyed this video!!! i hope there are more like this in the future!!

[@alexmurrin]

Love this type of video, and also want a print of this! Would make a great winter decoration

[@artphotography9158]

I love it!!! By the way, I believe it's very important to like and love your own art :)!!! You are still talented and have a beautiful style!!! Hugs!!!

[@kevins5280]

loved this casual video format, and the piece came out gorgeous!! i think you really did what you set out to do. this video did make for great background noise, would love to see more of this format from you!

[@emiel549]

I almost always watch youtube as background sounds xD So this is really nice

[@sophiastephan84]

I really love these more chill sorta sketch videos, they are so relaxing! (Love snow cat prince❤️)

[@valasafantastic1055]

Thumbnails can be any size it’s just advised you make them on the small size for a few reasons 1) so the overall composition is the focus not details 2) so you move on and don;t get too precious with it. Many (I’d even say most) people make thumbnails larger than a real thumbnail more like 3cm by 4cm to 10cm by 15 cm I’d say; from myself and others I’ve observed. Most often you can put at least 2 on a page and often more like 5+. Make them whatever size works the best for you as an individual rather than thinking there is a ‘proper’ size! Sorry just had to inform everyone bout that. Like rambling discourse videos as background noise when working on my own stuff watched this while inktobering. Thanks for the video!

[@ellespoonies]

ValasaFantastic Definitely! It also depends on your prefered canvas size when drawing, if you're used to huge pieces of paper obviously your thumbnails will be larger, where as I draw very small so my thumbnails truly are only a few cm. It also depends what you're using the thumbnail for, initial ideas would need less space (probably) than a color/value study thumbnail. One way to think about it is youtube video thumbnails, some people would use a high quality PNGs for their thumbnail while others will use a basic JPG, and even though one is technically higher quality if you were to zoom in they both serve the same purpose in the end!

[@valasafantastic1055]

Elle Marie True! I find the size of the paper does effect my thumbnails actually! Thanks.

[@saltykumara]

I love watching these 'draw with me' videos!! Your drawings are so beautiful and they're really nice having on in the background while I'm studying! ❤❤ Just one thing though (about what you said about whether artists should like what they create), and I always think you should enjoy what you create and be proud of it! I know you can't like everything, but there always seems to be so much negativity towards liking your own creations and being proud of them, it really bothers me. Sometimes it seems like in some artistic communities that you can't appreciate you're actually good at drawing or painting or writing without being arrogant or egotistical. Enjoy what you do and be impressed by you're own art! It's more fun for you and it more worthwhile than feeling as if you have to put yourself down all the time for the sake of others, and losing that sense of accomplishment. I know it's not what the video is about, but I always think spreading positivity and encouraging self-confidence in the art community is important 🙂 (Plus, if you're worried about being a bit of an egocentric twit, you're usually too self-aware to actually be behaving that way, haha)

[@BiancaHaeckDesigns]

Gah Dina I envy your skill! You make it seem effortless, but I know it's hard work. Beautiful work lovely! ❤️

[@Linkbrary]

I really enjoyed this video, I hope you do more like this, it was nice to put on for a background sound and watch when I work on my own watercolors

[@catinglasses]

Oh, PLEASE PLEASE make more of these! Your videos are unbelievably relaxing and so nice to have on. I starting out frustrated because I just had to restart from SCRATCH a drawing I ruined (for Inktober, so I need to get it done today). By the end of your video, I was feeling so much more relaxed and the drawing isn't coming out too bad, either. Thanks for making this :)

[@thejackpack9387]

You look so comfy! That is the way to go when drawing.

[@hacker19911]

Awesome video. Just drew this. !

[@hillart6748]

I love that this was so relaxing a chill. Great job! 🙂

[@weisssyoung]

Omg girl your voice is so relaxing and fits so well with your style, I watched the whole facking video and I need more!!!

[@anniehenderson8769]

Yassss Dina! I was setting up to paint and I was looking for something to play

[@damjandimovski6295]

For the snow cat prince design you can make him fluffy and it would make sense because he's in a cold area and he needs to keep warm

[@cathyreiser5321]

Thank you so much for posting this, it really helped me just relax I'v been super stressed and anxious with life and this helped me more than you could know, so thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@tano4457]

this was a great way to wind down tonight, thanks for the video :) and good luck with your new company!

[@damjandimovski6295]

This is such a good video,it is just so laid back. It really inspired me to draw. :-)

[@lunestudios7448]

I love your videos! The end result is really pretty! Your videos are really inspiring me to do more sketch book art ❤️

[@mareikeschaufele6741]

I really loved this type of video, I'd love to see more of them 😍 also when you talked abour wabi sabi, I had a throwback to my A-levels time, because I took art class and we were studying japanese architecture 😄

[@Finleycrosby6611]

With the point thing, that’s where your eyes generally go to look in art pieces. I can’t explain it well?? But it’s basically where your eyes go to look?? I’m pretty sure that’s why cause I just learned that recently so you’d think I’d remember hah

[@natasharedmane]

This is really good 😍 did you watch Hilda? I thought of you when I watched it, idk why, it just felt like something you would like 😅

[@pikhachu4538]

Your art is so beautiful :00000

[@Austin-hh3ro]

I really enjoyed following along with your drawing although you probably didn't intend on that. Just wanted to say thank you for your videos, they're really cool!

[@lucemaillet630]

beautiful!

[@sunnyleigh4107]

Congrats on the opening of your new business! The content you make is very inspiring. If you haven't already, I highly recommend Wabi Sabi by Mark Reibstein and the Zen series by Jon Muth

[@AsaStanleyKemler]

Hello, amazing video as always and I love your illustration style. I noticed you were having trouble with a watermark (the blotch on the upper right of the painting). I paint with watercolor a lot, and have had the same issue. You can deal with a watermark by wetting the effected area again, and gently rubbing the watermark (specifically, the ring of color around the blotch) with a small brush and dabbing the extra color up with a paper towel. I hope that helps!

[@mebearcreations]

This video is just what I needed! A bit of chat that’s not too hyperactive and visuals of someone creating beautiful artwork 💖💖💖 Plus, you mentioned cat in the title. How could I not click?

[@DinaNorlund]

"Cat" seems to be the key hehe

[@DoodlingCami]

this was a nice calming video that i could chill to :)

[@sketchcantationart7249]

Looooooove this 💜

[@timewolfs]

[@Post.Script.Studio]

I’ve been sick all day and this video made me so happy to see. LOVE it, you should do more ❤️💜💙

[@noraelmorabet5857]

[@laylasmif4186]

[@CarmenGMOC]

I don't really know if you study right now, but you could make a study with me video aswell!!

[@PigeonGuard]

Pumpkin spiced latte- you're one of them aren't you? Just kidding, really love your work and I'm intrigued by the entire process of it. I never really think before I start drawing, I just go straight to the canvas. That's why I'm intrigued by your work- you put effort into your work and that's amazing! Keep up the good work!! :'3 P.S. how do you make your paper NOW bend? I tried numerous papers and yet, it turns into a ball at the end

[@flywithart1256]

I like long video.plz make a video how u shoot n plan for new video too.love to watching ur videos.

[@rubya.p4437]

16:43 I thought she was going to mark the "x" there, LOL.

[@bronzehughes1812]

What if the main character's name is Kuni? As in Kunisugi just throwing the idea out there :3

[@Emenord]

Vil det være mulig å få den på Norsk?

[@myajane1010]

Oh no, the gold kinda ruined it for me. I loved the colors until then. Still great job though.

[@newtoatheism5968]

Cheep girl you don’t know cheep sketchbooks unless you’ve had some that every time you draw the page seem to rip
