Struggling & thriving in February | STUDIO VLOG

[@noconnell874]

Julianne, please take this comment to heart: creativity cannot always be cranked out on a weekly schedule. You are basically doing 5 peoples jobs! You have to work with your own rhythms and cycles and stop trying to be a robot! From a huge new fan, i dont care if there are months between videos, just do your best and dont apologise💛💛💛💛

[@augustawickmanart]

I wanted to let you know I love all of your videos and how real you are. I hate that you are having issues with insecurity right now. Your stuff is always so cute. I always see it and I'm amazed and inspired. I'm an artist too and I often think "can I make sticker sheets that cute?" I don't think I can. 😆 Also please don't let the advertisements you see online make you feel insecure about your looks. You are one of the prettiest people I know on KZbin. You don't need to change anything about yourself. You are a beautiful human being and not a plastic doll. There is no need to try to look like a doll (unless you are cosplaying one) I hope you feel better soon. 💜

[@bluedaze1191]

I had that same thought about the sticker sheets and the pretty looks! 😊🔆

[@uniandumi]

YOU DONT SUCK! You are a huge inspiration to so MANY artists (including me) sounds like a bit of burn out and in a rut so im here to boost ya❤❤❤❤❤❤ YOU GOT THIS!!!

[@darthmario4230]

I don't ever comment but felt like I had to just let you know how amazing your art is and how much I appreciate how open you are to letting us in on your process. Your videos inspire me as an art director of now nearly 30 years in apparel. Thanks for everything you do and can't wait to see your next videos.

[@RubysArtsyLife]

Hi Julianne I totally understand how you feel. I am insecure myself and I actually met you at Emerald City Comicon! I was so nervous to come buy something despite loving your videos! I circled 3 times before I got the courage to. You are truly the sweetest person I've met and you are so beautiful!! You are that gorgeous girl who doesn't know how beautiful she is! Inside and out ❤ and you are amazing! I'm so happy to have gotten a few pieces for my wall! You are such an inspiration to build myself up and be an artist! I don't think the imposter syndrome ever goes away. I feel the same way selling your art is extremely stressful yet exciting

[@kierablackett5380]

You're the only artist on YT that I've bought stuff from. You're a genuine gem, and connect so openly with us on multiple forms of media. Take all the time ya need ❤

[@AutonomousAI]

Hi Julianne, we hope our ErgoChair Pro can bring you a comfortable experience with your creative work! Shine and bright girl, you're doing awesome💗💗💗

[@JulianneDoodles]

I love it so much, thank you so much for the comfy chair!

[@AlekkzByDzyn]

This video popped up onto my algorithm (although I watch all your other videos) but just wanted to say, as someone who's dealt with imposter syndrome her whole life (I'm 32), I absolutely ADORE YOUR ART STYLE! Literally you are in my top 3 of favorite art styles I wish I could draw like! I just want you to know and feel validated that there are so many people out here who love your art, admire you as an artist (and content creator on YT), I think you are so amazing and inspiring! I've been feeling in an artistic rut lately and just been binge watching all your old videos because it makes me so happy! Never let yourself think you aren't good enough!! You are amazing :D

[@solitaireclub]

I find that insecurity comes for me in times of high anxiety where I'm at or close to burn out. I also learned recently that us ADHDers are more prone to burn out than others, so that sucks. But one thing I've tried to implement in my life that has helped a lot is scheduling one day in my week where I can just be a slug. I'm not self employed so I know that's different and that struggle is real, but you still need to take care of yourself and practice self care, however that looks to you! ❤

[@uniandumi]

Omg this 💖💖💖

[@SaltyRefrydBean]

I came across your video on my timeline for whatever reason. I love to see people create things with their talents and create their own business, very inspirational. Please don't beat yourself up. We all go through seasons where things feel off or weird. Just remember you're awesome and each day is a fresh start to better times.

[@_xiosa]

Hey girl! Just wanted to say that I hear you. Life can get exhausting even when we’re doing things that we love. Accepting our body and image is a life long journey. It’s great to see that you recognize your behaviors when you’re going through it, and you proactively try to care for yourself in those times. Thanks for sharing your videos!

[@erickhinojosa1150]

I view you as “artist goals” of where I want to be, your designs are finished and have so much personality, you’ve found your style and you have the courage to be in front of the camera and invite us into your world, I watch your videos for inspiration and am always excited to see your point of view, I did get to meet you at Emerald city and it was cool, I was super awkward lol, but you inspired me to do conventions again and the fun that comes with that, thank you for allowing us to be part of this fun journey 🙏🏼

[@xisee1526]

We were neighbors across you at one of the cons (I don't think you've uploaded content) but I love love the stuff we bought from you!! It's a pleasure to come across your yt channel and I hope to see you around!

[@JulianneDoodles]

Omg which con! I’m still working though all of the vlog footage haha

[@xisee1526]

@@JulianneDoodles it was awesomecon!!!

[@sonyasupposedly]

Really appreciate how raw and vulnerable you were in this video! I relate a lot. From the outside you are so inspiring with what a go-getter you are - and allow me to be the 1000th person reminding you that your art is cute af! I'm excited to see you continue developing your creativity for years to come :)

[@SheriLee-f7m]

I speak from experience when I say that STRESS tends to accumulate over time and then manifest in the way you are feeling right now. I believe you need to allow yourself some “down” time to rest, relax and recharge. Self care is so important and when you push yourself too hard for too long your mind gets tired too and then the negative thoughts and inner dialogues begin. Please be kinder to yourself and know that you are beautiful, smart, funny and hella talented…… we see it and you have no reason to doubt or feel insecure ❤. Wishing you well and continued success!

[@Splendid.Stardust]

I love how real you are and how open you are with your struggles. As a very small business right now, I am constantly getting the overwhelm and then the imposter syndrome, like doubting my worth, when I SEE people going nuts over my creations. I noticed that when life is super hectic and I haven't done in-person shows for about 4 weeks, that's when my doubt starts to set in. Of course, it's not always sustainable to do so many shows so often. I crochet mainly (I made a crochet version of your sprout that I would LOVE for you to see) but started with art and stickers and other media with my art. It has been so cool, but SO overwhelming. So to see someone as huge as PepperCut have those moments too, it helps me realize it's normal. Not that I love seeing anyone struggle, but hopefully you know what I mean haha. I hope March has been better for you! Good to see you back!

[@zenrpg2336]

dont listen to the demons (social media). i hope you feel better soon. just give yourself some time to breathe. i really like your channel and your art and i think you're very pretty. i hope these negative thoughts can go away because you don't deserve them. life can be very stressful and we don't always get it right but you are trying your best (even when you don't believe it) and that's all you can really ask of yourself. i think the life you've built and the art you make is something you can be proud of.

[@TWIGGSstudios]

❤ sending you love peace and joy over this next month. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

[@Kati_Rosi]

Yay!!!Another video from my Idol! you are so cool and your videos make my day better. thank you for posting here on KZbin!!

[@Gunheadchicka]

She's mine too!

[@ashleyeverything588]

Girl don’t you dare get no Botox or filler!! Or do… autonomy and all 😂 you’re beautiful, your art is great and the absolute cutest. Your videos and art are so inspiring . Please don’t burn yourself out. You don’t have to stick to your schedule 100%. We, your fans, love you and will still be here if you need a break 🤙🏾

[@noconnell874]

Hey ive just had an idea if you wanted a low key easy video to put out on weeks where you dont have time; how bout a live or just a chat to camera, about your current fave snacks, materials, tv shows, music etc. id watch that as i find you really interesting not just your art! Im in ireland so our day to day is different and id love to see your current fave things including style, makeup etc

[@lekatiii]

I’ve missed you! I hope your February was successful. I’m so glad you’re back.

[@carriepadgett2743]

I don't know what to say, except that I agree with everyone here. You have such wonderful videos and we absolutely love your artwork and who you are. I think we all feel these things. I never feel like I'll be as pretty as the next person or as talented as the next person, and it doesn't matter how much people try to compliment those things---my own mind is my own worst enemy. I try to do a self care reset each weekend as I do my weekly planner. I try not to be hard on my self when I feel like I didn't achieve enough. I kind of just see each weekend as an eraser and a reset to always try my best and start over in a weird way. And lady, hormones don't make it any easier!!! 😂 That makes it so much harder. Anyway, we love you and thank you for inspiring us and being part of that network of supportive artists we can view and be part of in this crazy online world. We got this. 💞

[@hyss0p_honey]

Listen, art is measured in its value by the skill put into a piece ALONGSIDE the emotions experienced by whoever consumes it. It's obvious you have tremendous technical skill but the cherry on top of it all is, your art makes people HAPPY. As cliche as this sounds lol you make this floating rock a brighter place! Have a blessed day

[@Diyasejournals.scrappys]

I love how u carry the same bag lucky bag❤❤❤

[@peachyjjarred]

Such a fun time

[@letstrycosplay]

Julianne: *uploads new video* Us: “Where the hell have you been, Loca?! 🐺”

[@JulianneDoodles]

LOL the fact I have a Jacob tapestry that says that in my office 😂😂

[@CrystalB-r2t]

Hi Julianne!!❤❤ I love it!! You should do a Q&A!!❤❤

[@Wawawesttx]

13:58 😮 say no to the doomscrolling 😢 glad you are self analyzing and getting back on track - rooting for ya 😊❤

[@ChantelleArts]

Fantastic vlog, I love how you edit your videos ❤❤

[@Sincerely_Manshi]

I just wanted to let you know that I was watching your vlog to destress and ended up on your shop website impulse buying stickers 😂 I don't really buys like this because I'm more of a I'll do (draw) it myself type of girl but your stickers are so cute. Especially the sprouts, I absolutely adore them and the lore you have for them!

[@EVILxHEMI]

Good to see you back on your channel. Don't sweat the schedule. You can only do so much! I really enjoy your videos and you have inspired me, a 61 year old lady, to start my own online sticker shop and commercial vinyl services. I know I'll have to start creating videos for my social media platforms, soon. It's funny, I make training videos that I appear in, for work, on the Coursera platform and also do live training that is recorded - that doesn't bother me at all! IDK why, but I'm really nervous about doing these for my own shop. I'm not young and pretty like you and the other girls who do these videos. But I think, after I dig up the courage to do that first one, that maybe things will be OK. Keep the good work! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Take care! ♥🙂

[@uniandumi]

Omg the floral shop looks so relaxing 💕💕💕💕

[@uniandumi]

Wait nvm you said you worked 14hrs straight gurrrrllll

[@ambercarson9736]

I love your videos! I live in Australia 🇦🇺 and would really love to order some of your prints & stickers for my classroom!

[@cassandralynnreads]

Oh goodness not the doom scrolling! I always think I'm more resilient than I am, but I get caught in the same loop. And it's always with my art as well. Just letting you know things you already know, but you are an extremely talented artist who has gotten accepted into many major cons & made bank! People love your art & just because you had a busy month and you weren't able to post doesn't take away from that! 💞

[@IsadoraWolf-sd1bt]

I love your videos so much!!!❤

[@evalemur]

Gorgeous work as always, may i ask whick brush you used for the flowers? I love the uneven line work

[@vanessasplace8690]

Darling Julianne! You are wonderfully you. I'm happy you put down the scroll of doom for a day. It's no bueno for anyone.

[@skyhorse101]

Hey girl! Maybe, (if you get blindsided by a corner) next time try to turn your table on an angle? So the front faces the corner and then pull the table back a little. It's a less working room but maybe a bit more comfy lol

[@Gunheadchicka]

I love watching your studio vlogs. They inspire me to get off my butt and get my art business started. What are some of the downsides to having a business?

[@CrystalB-r2t]

Thank you for the Mega kitty treatment recommendation!!! It works!!😂😂😆

[@SoothingSounds-zr2py]

You Are Enough ❤

[@MarinaKristensen]

Feeling the same. On the one hand I know I do create stuff and am an amazing person, on the other side there are all the doubts. But that is how we were grown up through society. Sad but true - media is made for making us feel bad and there is so much negativity around us and it is hard to cancel this all out. We know we are great so why can't we simply fully accept it? - It's so weird. Sending you Magic from a fellow artist, who appreciates your work and all the tips I got from.

[@OtakuLover20]

I feel like that too i do local events, markets, and cons and i know people love my art cause they buy from me but when promoting my shop or posting online i dont get that same feed back i have no sales on my etsy right now it has nothing cause im away but ive been keeping it active for 2 years and promoting it and im like why? But then I draw and it gets me out of that funk cause it is my stress relief

[@Ocean_edits332]

Hi I have a question to you or anyone in the comment section i watched an old video that you did like 5 months ago and when you use a cricut can you use a blade for a box cutter or something instead? ❤ ya

[@Marchcrochets]

Hi !!!! I been waiting for your video patiently 😂😊 I am a crochet artist and I want to let you know that your videos have inspired me to apply for artist alley.

[@fuellucky_23]

OMGG im finaly earlyyy love your videos btw keep going!!!

[@fatdandelions]

You are adulting real hard. Fashion wise you need guidance in what you really like. But entreprise wise you are succesful. You feel icky sheer you did not find balance yet. Its okay. You have all the time .. to grow. Like your thank you card says : Grow. Love your channel. You have your significant style. Its original 🥰❤️

[@sunbeeartstudio]

I'm sad you're struggling lately. :( It does make sense to pause and reflect when you're in the throes of the busy-ness. Your art is unique, full of personality, and is uplifting - AND GOOD. Hopefully you can shake the thoughts that your art isn't good enough soon. You're also beautiful and come across as a genuinely thoughtful and kindhearted person. Is it possible that the extra traveling has worn you down enough to leave you feeling vulnerable? It might be good to avoid steady situations that lead to the doom-scrolling so that when you are so tired, that negatively charged energy doesn't get a chance to weasel into your thoughts?

[@cosumosu_art]

Doing a lot of conventions in a row can definitely invoke the feelings you're going through, so please be sure to take breaks when you can! I used to vend at cons hardcore and the NEED to produce new, and BETTER merch nonstop sent me careening into a burnout abyss 8,D Drawing in a physical sketchbook helps a lot, but even moreso being with friends, and taking up more artistic hobbies that can't be monetized are crucial! You've already got a good thing going with pickleball and getting out of the house, and it's hard to reconcile with the idea that maintaining the same momentum is not physically feasible (without outsourcing), but you have a lot to be proud of! Cherish your wins, and take care of your inner artist! ^o^)b

[@clairechcohen]

feeling insecure isn't stupid, it's human :) last thing you need to hear when you feel shitty is that you "shouldn't" be feeling that way. stay kind to yourself ☺

[@DPRMIT0]

Botox and fillers??? Homie you look no older than 23 🥺 the mind definitely is a wild place but just know seeing this video pop up in my feed made me happy 💕 I love seeing your work and you thriving. You’re an inspiration to me

[@ayre613]

not you saying in the very last clip that it's not the cutest look. but literally right before u said that, I was like, ok I'll leave a comment telling her that's the cutest look I've seen so far lol it's all the endorphins on your skin probably lol it makes u glow

[@sugarcoatit1664]

I love you your so amazing ❤❤❤❤but like I have horrible timing because the sticker sheet of yours I really wanted wasn’t sold out last time I checked it, so I thought I would be able to do it later, but then I went back and it was SOLD OUT IM LITERALLY CRYING

[@omgeekdesigns]

Hi Friend, I have really enjoyed your videos and turn them on to keep me company while I draw and work. With this and your con videos, just thank you for always being so honest and transparent. And in this video, especially, so vulnerable. I want to first tell you that you are not alone - I feel this way a LOT about all the things you mentioned here. But I also want to tell you that you are amazing and your art is amazing and you are making so many peoples' days by simply creating a positive space on this platform. It doesn't always help to tell someone who is feeling like crap about themselves that their feelings are invalid - you need to feel it and you should have the space to feel those feelings. And because we spend time with you on this platform, so many of us feel close enough to you to give you all the advice. LOL. Just remember that what you do after you feel the negative feelings is what counts. And I hope that when you start to feel those things that you take a break from this and from us and spend time with yourself doing the things that make you feel like you again. I've had to remind myself that it's about balance. Feel the insecurities, but don't let them overpower your awesomeness. I can't wait to spend more time with you here, but I hope you're making some time for yourself away from the socials as well. 💜

[@Heyitskiki_]

Sorry I gotta cancel my plans- Julianne posted

[@JulianneDoodles]

LMAO

[@MightyDraws]

It's happening to you too?? At my last con, I was so illiterate also... lol and almost stuttering.. lol im losing my words 😂😅 i need to go read more again, all that traveling is exhausting my body... ahah

[@Virtuorial]

what's the code? it is not in the description :/

[@bluedaze1191]

Aww I feel for you! Hopefully you're feeling even just a tiny bit better now! :) I love your channel and your instagram! I totally get the doom-scrolling thing it's totally messed up my mental health and comparison too, it's not only you experiencing that!!! Maybe try out a focus app from certain hours of the day to other hours to at least force you to put it down and clear your head :) As for you wanting botox and lip fillers and stuff, you do whatever you feel like makws you the most happy! However, it's a bit silly but when I first saw your videos I noticed how just genuinely beautiful you are :) 🔆 I remember feeling inspired by your channel and it was so relaxing to see someone as pretty as you wear comfy clothes and live such a cool life! Genuinely you've got such a recognizable look, and I hope you are able to slowly love your beauty more :))) 🔆🔆🔆 Love your channel, keep up the good work 💛

[@nutriprisi]

Hi Julianne i never writte here i always wach your videos, i think all in some moments struglee with "impostor syndrome" this is a combination of many thinks you been tired, see a lot of social media, maybe your body with some deficent of vitamins... So i can recommend you somethings that work for me: I tried to no wach a lot of social media with i feel that is a dificult day, i comsume vitamins and supplements and of course have a excersice rutine, i writte my thougts in my journal about how i feel and i come back to that in other day (because for me i get less anxiety with i undestand my feelings and what can do to not feel that again). Having a bussness is never easy but im can tell you are doing well and you are doing what you can, hope you feel good again soon . PDT: English is not my firts languaje so is a made a grammar mistake im sorry :)

[@Nuancesofnancy]

Julienne, be more kind to yourself. You wear so many hats as a content creator, creator and just self employed. You don’t have a set schedule of clocking in or out, and no one to say “hey go take a break”. We all understand burn-out, it’s normative with any job. Great to see your face and love the honesty. (I also feel like I’m becoming less articulate and literate bcuz I’m not actually reading).

[@Dell2YT]

Imposter syndrome sucks. I wish you the strength to power through it. It's not my place to suggest any lifestyle changes so take this with a grain of salt, but trying a new hairstyle does wonders for me. And the best part is if you don't like it, it'll grow back.

[@CyndyTangerineyyyy]

You look cute regardless.

[@kinbailey310]

D ont be so mean to yourself. You're beautiful. Your art is beautiful.

[@Christina24life]

That Taylor Lautner flag makes me laugh every time

[@t5anda]

Babe you are beautiful and you should love yourself bc ur a baddie :) next time you wake up and brush you teeth give yourself a high five bc ur amazing :)

[@noebyuu]

I really appreciate you sharing your insecurities and anxieties in general🥹because i got the confidence vibes from you (still do lol) and happy to know that we are all just people trying to survive 🥹🤍🤍

[@juliethelam]

your videos and your aura are so calming and strangely uplifting if that makes sense 🤗 the camera set ups and transitions and music and vibes are 👌🏼 love how real and open you are about your life and business and even with your insecurities! I think it's so normal to feel down like that but your discipline strikes once again and the un-plugging from social media and doom scrolling is SO key. it's crazy how doubt builds up in our heads and tests us but ya just gotta take it easy yknow 🫶🏼 I know you already said it yourself with the questioning of your artistry and talent even with the customers that literally buy your work in front you, but for what it's worth, you don't suck, your art is worth it, your business is worth it, you're doing just fine, and please keep going bc you make a lot of people happy 😎💕
