STUDIO VLOG 001 • Snow Cat Prince in Progress! Writing, writing, writing...

I have been working on the Snow Cat Prince book since the beginning of January and now finally I feel like it is time to start my ol' vlogs again! I love filming these and I hope you will enjoy watching or having me on in the background while you do some work on your own project. Meant to be sort of a diary of a project more than anything!

[@mjpete27]

I enjoy watching your videos, I am still quite newish to the studio vlogs,I was expecting more of a tour experience and was surprised to see how slice of life it is! This is very interesting and enlightening to observe how you work and progress with your project! I look forward to seeing more as you work through the process of creating your graphic novel! Thank you for sharing!

[@jewelcat155]

I love these vlogs, they're so chill and seeing your progress on big projects like this is super interesting! I also really like that they're longer, not a lot of art youtubers do that and videos like this are perfect to draw along with 😊

[@cottageram3447]

I thought I wouldn't enjoy your vlogs, but I love it!!

[@DinaNorlund]

Haha I am glad I could change your mind omg xD

[@ToriEnglishArtsandPaws]

I went about my morning routine whilst listening to this. I find it easier to get through the things if I’m listening to something.

[@rey.797__]

can't wait until the book comes out❤

[@hans-sniekers-art]

Again such a lovely video! I love these vlogs, they are just very calming to watch while doing homework or your own art and they make me feel so comfortable and lovely

[@sashburrito4006]

Oml she is so underrated, like she works so hard and inspires me to work on my art every video I watch. Shes beautiful and everything I want to be as an artist

[@a.masterwood]

Gorgeous work. This girl literally cures my anxiety. I'm bipolar and I can somehow control my emotions with this girl's videos playing in the background. Thank you.

[@arthurcastillo5125]

Yeees! I discovered this amazing channel recently, and It was enough for me to fall in love with all your art and the way you do your videos. When I am sad or I don't feel like I deserve to keep going with my art, I watch your videos and it makes me feel better, A LOT! 🌻🌻And now you are working on something that gets me really excited 🌻 BTW Grettings from Mexico :)))

[@AllisonLyonArt]

I really enjoyed watching your vlog!

[@Fandomnut]

I've been sick this whole day, and it hit full blast this morning. So seeing this get posted is nice. I havnt really been keeping up with the snow cat prince. But it sounds so cool! And cats.

[@bimpjo7502]

Love watching these longer videos, nothing inspires me like other artists. Super excited for the next Snow Cat Prince updates, it looks amazing so far :)

[@tat-ki1yy]

I was literally only thinking earlier that I love these vlog style videos from you !

[@jawbeater]

Hey Dina! Saw your vid regarding your work during FZD and I'm from FZD as well! Love your designs and you're a huge inspiration to me. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos!

[@egglovescheesealt4682]

This. Is . Awesome!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@itsnanouh]

I really love your vlogs, it’s authentic and honest

[@ChronoSakuya]

Couple suggestions for practical desk space: Desk clamp monitor arms are pretty good for easily moving tablets around, most tablets (except Wacom) have inherent VESA support. A microphone arm with a camera mount lets you place your camera anywhere you want above the desk when you're working, so you don't have to duct tape a camera tripod to the desk.

[@gengu-main1788]

Btw, love your content and art. Super inspiring!!!!

[@NatNatey]

"Oh ok bye" how cute

[@kymgriffiths974]

Great studio vlog. Can’t wait for this book. I will definitely be buying in the Kickstarter.

[@taytaybeynippy486]

[@ollysmith7404]

I love your work, and am SO excited for the graphic novel! You're also a huge inspiration for me because I just finished my book outline and am stalling while writing the actual thing out, so this video really helped me get going! :)

[@bizzybreeillustrations2158]

I Love how dedicated you are to your work, and gosh you are so pretty!, Love your work especially the latest random creature design, my son and i love watching your videos together :)

[@Itsciinamon]

[@IMR27]

We have the same Ikea desk chair 😂

[@AN-jf6fp]

40:18 i can understand whatcha saying, since norwegian is almost the same as swedish 😄

[@temburpeeples8783]

Ive always wanted to make my own characters and my own story but i have no idea where to start, but do you have any tips?

[@LunarWind99]

Hey Dina, could you tell me how you add colour to drawings in Krita without colouring outside the lineart? I know there is a way of doing it so the colour only goes in a selected area but i'm not sure how

[@cathyconey3273]

I had two needle byopcies when I was 19 and u r not put to sleep, I hate needles Nice ideas

[@makaylagracy]

Omw I was the 100th like my OCD is SCREAMING because its so pleased with me! We finally agree on something.

[@eterno1610]

Second to last prince looks like Scar.

[@DinaNorlund]

Yup! People said that in the stream :P also that the oldest look like Mufasa haha.. I don’t think I will be able to avoid that though

[@AN-jf6fp]

❤️❤️

[@aydenjacko5810]

[@hellespont230]

Your art is amazing ❤ heia norge😊

[@camilabalvar]

Eg altid lurte paa ka dialekt du hadde. Den er fint ^^

[@tiliacordata7260]

Ja det er den.

[@TheTriiChi]

I find it so wierd listening to you speak norwegian. I had the same with my best friend when I first met him too tho. Norwegian myself btw x3

[@sheehtoo1778]

What art app are you USING

[@tiliacordata7260]

Jeg fikk på følelsen at du var norsk og jeg hadde rett!!!! Jeg kan ikke tro det!

[@Insideranon]

I'm sorry, but you have really hypnotic eyes...

[@moggy1486]

#2nd Btw love your accent where are you from?

[@DinaNorlund]

Norway! :D Could you have guessed? hehehe

[@gengu-main1788]

I thought you were a Swede!! :))))

[@JaneeNegron]

From the thumbnail I thought you cut your hair off!! It would look really cute short btw lol

[@DinaNorlund]

I had short hair once! I cut it all off after I got tired of dreads :P it was nice and super quick to wash... hmm maybe I should now :O

[@JaneeNegron]

@@DinaNorlund I vote yes!! I love your channel btw lol thanks for the response!

[@deqwangreen1912]

Here's the thing. I wanna watch your videos but, you give away the finished art in the thumbnails every time it seems. :/

[@gengu-main1788]

UWU, first!!! TuT

[@DinaNorlund]

Congrats! :D

[@tikira_5118]

Is pole dancing a part of a strip club?? I'm sorry...

[@DinaNorlund]

Nope hahaha is was expecting this comment! It’s for fitness :D so it’s like a little gym or a gymnastics room where see have poles and do tricks, search for some pole tricks videos on KZbin and you’ll get the idea ;) I don’t do sexy.. never been sexy haha

[@ossie200]

nah dude. people do it as exercise. it's like yoga. but its not. it's pole dancing
