New Favorite Brush!? | Sketchbook Habit Day 24

[@Kyomiibrown]

Mijello don’t contain ox gall which is why they don’t move. This is easily solved if you put some ox gall in your water, the watercolours will move much better. You can buy synthetic ox gall if you don’t want real ox gall.

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

Kyomii this is going to sounds silly - I don’t enjoy tweaking the original formula. I want to appreciate the product as designed by the brand. Thank you for sharing options for those reading the comments!

[@Kyomiibrown]

Victoria Gedvillas No problem, it doesn’t sound silly, I don’t add any ox gall to my Mijello paints either, I love them just the way they are. I only mentioned it because you sounded disappointed that they didn’t move. 🙂

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

Oh nooooooooo - I have other paints that move, I don’t need my watercolors to behave the same way. That would be dull and boring. Waa! You be so sweet - maybe I am disappointed? Not too much though, I’m more curious than anything.

[@flaneuseu]

Ahhh no wonderrr, but I still love the set. But might try out other brands that do move. Do you perhaps have any suggestions?

[@Kyomiibrown]

@@flaneuseu Schminke, Daniel Smith etc move in most colours as do many brands. Qor move considerably but stain so if you use lifting techniques in your work you would need to buy their lifting medium. Alternatively just buy some ox gall for your Mijello then you have the best of both worlds. Add a little in the water. You can buy synthetic ox gall too.

Dear Tori! I didn't even realize you were drawing sailor mars, but I felt that you captured a concept that filled up my sketchbooks when I was a teen! This entry touched my heart. The long cascading hair, the simple profile - it's so classic! I was like this is so me... and so my childhood...!

[@analia225]

This series is blessing my socks off.

[@allisond7552]

I am really glad your posting earlier this week, I think I have the same time zone as you and it’s hard to imagine you have much downtime between your health and youtube

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

allison d central? It’s kinda of a strange time zone when a good chunk of my viewers are on the coast. Thank you Allison for your thoughtful and kind commment 🙈💖💖💖 I’m doing my best to figure out a method that works well. I wish to keep making videos after this!!

[@SweetMilkArt]

sailor mars my babbbbyyyyyy you made her look so perfect! I'll be so sad when this sketchbook series is done but ill also be happy that youll be able to take a much needed break! You really encourage me to keep drawing and sketching everyday

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

SweetenedMilk worry not! I have some videos in mind that I’m looking forward to sharing once the challenge is over 🔥🔥🔥 but I pinky promise to take a nice break 💖💖💖 thank you for watching!

[@SienluvsSai]

I loved the tangent. I love the Atelier series! It is such a fun and magical game!!! Also, I love your watercolor painting! Super beautiful. Both you and Arleebean make me want to get better at painting 🙂

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

Yes!! Someone who enjoys the games too! Its so fluffy and calm XD Thank you so much for sharing and for watching todays video!

[@sunnylee7960]

I've always loved how you end video saying "keep on drawing". It inspires me a lot to draw something after watching you paint beautiful art. =)

[@raindance168]

Oooh my favorite quill brushes are the da vinci petit gris size 000 and 2! They both come to a really nice point, and a lot of the time I can get away with using just the size 2. As always, it was really fun watching your exploration of the paint, and seeing your thought process. This series has been so nice and encouraging to watch while staying home! The words you do say are actually really comforting and we can tell they come from your heart

[@inkstained]

I've always wanted to try quill brushes they always look so beautiful

[@KnightSweeties]

once you finish this sketchbook series I'll end up marathoning the playlist and have a long session with you. I adore this series and I can't wait what you have in store in the future 🥰

[@ericpena2312]

I squealed so much after realizing she was painting Sailor Mars 😭😭❤️

[@RadishTheFool]

I don't just love watching you paint. Listening to your commentary is a big part of what makes your videos so wonderful. 🧡

[@carys4897]

The Sketchbook Habit series has been keeping me drawing during quarantine! Thank you for today’s video! 💖💕💖

[@strawberryshroom1171]

Ahhh i love you so much! I always save your vids and then watch them on the weekends as I draw

[@dammitspawk]

I love this series, I don't want it to be over! I look forward to these vids everyday and will savour every bit of them in the final week

[@allisond7552]

Motivated me to watercolor, thanks!!

[@seventeenolives6682]

absolutely obsessed with this video and this piece! such a cute, soft painting ~ really inspiring to me :) i love listening to you talk! brightens my day so much

[@melodyintheair5729]

I'm going to miss these videos when you're finished this series

[@hymntorebirth]

tori!! im very happy to see you having so much fun with drawing girls, i really hope you're able to capture the cuteness you see and i support you in that!!

[@vivanecrosis]

Your talking is just right. For me the voice and manner of the artist I’m watching is just as important as their art. They could do the best art in the world but if they are a tool then no thanks.

[@paulinapecio5308]

Today I sat to draw the sketch of a painting I'm planning to make for some time but I couldn't make myself to start it earlier. Then I saw your newest video is up and it made me really inspired and relaxed as I was drawing while watching and listening to you. This is the thing I really love your videos for - they just always make my day ♥

[@0IXAYAXI0]

I love your art so much!!

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

thank you very much!

[@jorgeredstain]

Love the series Victoria!! 😍😍 But since I don't like using natural brushes ( makes me kind of sad to think the way they get the hair..😢) Can you please review your favourite synthetic brushes??? Thanks in advance!!!

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

Sure! Its been awhile since I've done a brush review, is it cool if I wait til after the series? I'm also interested in picking up new synthetic brushes, I've been using the blue handle Creative Mark Mimik so much, I need a break

[@jorgeredstain]

@@VictoriaGedvillas of course!!! Whenever you feel like doing it!! You're making me the habit of having breakfast while watching your videos!!😂 You inspire me a lot!! Thank you so much for all the great content you share with all of us!! 🙌🙌

I’m having a really bad day and finally checking out your channel has made it bearable

[@shizotypical]

i've been wanting to get into the Atelier series for a while, but the time aspect kinda scares me.. thank you for reminding, now's the perfect time to try something new!

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

I feel you! Made me nervous too! Once you get started, it all feels super chill and relaxed

[@ianjackson5834]

LOL a quill brush that as a ferrule. quill brush are great i use them a lot, the painting is fab, thanks for sharing your videos

[@minimagpie1]

I've finally caught up haha, I've been watching the playlist whilst doing some daily animals sketching these past few days - you've been motivating me so much to feel happy to draw and create everyday, and I love your videos so much and the passion for art as you talk is really so inspiring! Thank you for your videos!

[@mooglesprinkles]

Yay! Sailor Mars is my favorite!

[@Mackerachi]

What was some of the advice you got on quill brushes from friends? I've been wanting to get one but I'm unsure what size to start with and they're a bit too expensive to try out a bunch of sizes from the get go. I think I'm going to get the Silvers cause I love my Black Velvet brushes, so now I just have to narrow down a starting size. Loved the painting, keep up the good work!

[@ChickenxBoneless]

My mimik brush set just came in and omg they are so good! I love the thin rigger brush and the flat brush! I’ve been so focused on better paper and paint that I forgot about good tools too.

[@nanetteatienza4297]

Does the Atelier silver brush hold a lot pigment and water pretty well? Does the point stay pointy? Sz 40 is a mop brush. For a normal painting of flowers, what sz would you recommend… 0,10 or 20? I didn’t like the da Vinci brush either. The point doesn’t stay. How do you find the Paul Rubens cold press sketchbook? You paint very well.

[@fuzzydragons]

very lovely :) reminds me of one of one of my favourite comic artists David W. Mac and how he uses his colours :)

[@angelinamajor-mccrea6324]

Literally love your channel. I'm trying to get into water colors (I've used mostly Copics and multiliners) and you've honestly helped me learn so much. 💚

[@corgiqueen22]

Omg your voice is so soft and I can play your videos in the background while playing animal crossing!

[@zeearts9484]

Yay new video!!!

[@jilliangrantham336]

Aww this might be my favorite so far! ❤

[@LittleAmyHe]

I feel like you smacked me with Sailor Mars in the most pleasant way possible! I had no idea until you started drawing her star earrings!!!!

[@heyheyrenee449]

Nice job getting so far with your sketchbook! When I see these videos come up, it pushes me to make something, too. And if you want to lean toward fantasy illustrations then go for it! Just keep an open mind about it to help you not get that stuck or repetitive feeling--magical girl stuff tends to be cute and elegant but it can also be serious and even dark. Anyway, thanks for sharing all this and keep it up, you're almost there!

[@clairescribner4102]

I’m really enjoying the music.

[@dominicw4723]

most Asian brands don't use ox gall, i'm not sure why but from what I hear it has to do with the mentality that the artist should be the one to decide if they want to use ox gall or not, which I guess could be used in conjunction on certain parts, (so In this case you'd use the paint normally for the face and for the hair for a more artsy feel, you'd use ox gall.) I believe you were trying to say "Atelier"? I always pronounce it "Ah til E ay". If im correct then I've seen some of the games you've mentioned, and honestly I didn't know they existed and when I noticed them it was kinda like... omg why are there so MANY! sorta like a treasure trove and maybe too daunting since I was late to the party. Incidentally I actually watched the anime BEFORE noticing the games, which kinda made it clear why certain parts of the anime felt previously established and were assuming details that maybe id enjoy more if I played one of their games prior (not major details just minor details that didn't impact much) Incidentally, the anime was "Atelier Escha and Logy etc.." and it ALSO has a game so you could enjoy both or one or the other.

[@zee_draws]

Hi , I observed the palette of mijello causes beading in the surface . How did you manage to remove it? i saw in the right side of yours there is less beading of watercolors

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

I love my quill brushes but don’t use them enough because I generally paint small. Mine are: a DaVinci Petit Gris squirrel in size 0 (my favorite) which does come to a fine sharp point, and 2 Paul Rubins squirrel in size 2 and 4. I also have a synthetic DaVinci in size 1 but I don’t care for it. I think (personal opinion) if one is going to use a quill or mop it should be squirrel, or whats the point? As to the Mission Gold, they don’t contain ox gall so they don’t flow. For newbies this is actually helpful because the paint doesn’t get away from you, but if you’re into high flow, go for QOR, which flow right off the page, lol.

[@brokenredflag]

Thats sailor mars!!😯👏👏👏👏👏

[@bnelleyram]

Am I the only one that realized that you were painting sailor Mars at the end of the video? I had a brain blast after you painted the star earring 🤦‍♀️

[@allisond7552]

I kind of use toris videos as like an artist question board 😂 I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on whether they enjoy a blue violet or Moonglow better-haven’t tried either and want to see which people like more in a palette

[@curleen4952]

I want to try Daniel Smith watercolor one day and I've been looking for Moonglow to add it into a custom palette 🤩

[@KD-hw6uw]

I have both moonglow and shadow violet from daniel smith. Both have gorgeous granulation but I’d say go for moonglow! Personally I use moonglow way more in darkening some colors and its wonderful to use in place of or alongside indigo as a cool alternative to pure black

[@curleen4952]

I have 2 Petit Gris brushes from Raphael... And I really don't like them 😅 I have no clue how to use them properly. My main watercolor brush is a Kolinsky round brush. This is my fav, it's so reliable! The way it holds water and how I'm able to make tiny strokes with it... It's just the best. And anytime I grab my Petit Gris brush I get confused 😅

[@theunnamedmustashio6431]

Try painting the Monalisa painting with watercolers :)

[@xthx8329]

Damn it tori how dare you make me want to paint when i have school

[@mayassketchbook1625]

Am I the only one that completely jams out at the end to the music?!??

[@MrOsiric]

Wow, I must admit that I am thoroughly enjoying this whole series! It really advance topic for a beginner to think about and consider. Months ago I was in the exact same position of picking between Paul Rubens and Mijellos for my first pro grade paints. I wish this had come earlier though. Its quite eye opening to see how it could change the workflow of a more advance artist such as yourself. :) I knew about the lack of flow in Mijello but i picked them anyway thinking i want more control and I could just add ox gall later if i want more flow. Maybe I chose wrong to put my money on an untested idea? Maybe, Have to buy a bottle of ox gall to find out... :) Really great series mam. But, please don't hesitate to go full tilt nerd talking about watercolor paints. Its quite helpful. :D

[@ellyzacampo5726]

This is so pretty! ToT watching this makes me wanna use my mop brush and play with it! Also I heard Mjellos don't really jump around the page, they tend to stay where you put them and we really see that in your swatches mid video óvò

[@Jayariee]

Could you explain why there are tiny dots when you lay down the paint?

[@MichelleMelton7]

Could be that the watercolors she's using granulate, so little flecks and particles show as the paint dries.

[@rougenerf8297]

Did you draw Sailor Mars?

[@dakdakgoos]

I recently got a watercolour set as a gift but I'm too terrified to use it! I feel like I'm way too used to digital and markers

Try to transfer your digital and markers skills into your watercolors then ;) Just experiment and have fun!

Did you notice any unique differences with quill brushes and other brushes? Do watercolors look different on different watercolor paper? I love how you always drawn women.

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

Untitled Goldfish8 I’m still total noob at them! But it was very nice to do majority of the painting with one brush and not have to switch between a tiny round 2 and a round 8. This is always nice because I don’t have to load two brushes with paint. Nor did I have to reload as much, overall a happy experience! And yes, paper makes all the difference. Great paper can make eh paints look like luxury. Hope this was helpful!!! Thank you for watching and your kind words!
