Chris: I’m not good at drawing animals Me: (watching all the super cute animals that she drew)? ? ?

[@KitKatToeBeans]

I would love to be as “not good” as her!

[@booksandbubbletea]

I was thinking the same thing 😂😂

[@misspetite9285]

The end result is just amazing! The life that comes out of this piece ❤️. I love how the colour scheme you chose give me this warm, happy, fuzzy feeling inside. Definitely going to be re-watching this video a lot. :)

[@ChrisHongArt]

thank you so much Miss Petite!! 😘 so glad that warmth and fuzziness comes through since it's what I was aiming for! ☺️🧡

[@Butterinyourear]

This is incredible! I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Such skill, very wow. 👏🏻

[@mpsensha]

Applause! There's so much to see, the atmosphere is so warm and friendly, I can almost hear the music.

[@ellabyrneart2289]

You are such a skilled artist! I love how you take us through every step of the piece. You definitely succeed in creating a visual feast, this painting is a treat for the eyes!

[@elisamilan]

I could see your artwork on puzzles! Very charming.

[@martinveloche1228]

Love the professionalism involve in the process, it really pays off in the end!! I hate my procastination! 😥😫

[@lizmurphy5533]

I enjoy your painting so much. But I really like that you share your struggles. So many videos now look like the artist just breezes through a piece. You show (or tell) that it's not always that easy. Your work is beautiful.

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

There is nothing wrong with your animals. The lines and animation , aw well as, your color choices are great. The final touches are inspiring to me as a creative person.

[@pedrosalles9273]

YOU ARE SO INTELLIGENT, like, the visualization is so smart and awesome, is very hard and different to "create" a image from your head, it requires a lot of study and choices. Wow

[@BrendaFOBRocks]

IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!! i can't watch right this second but i'll be back to see this beauty! and the beagle which is my favorite part lmfaooo

[@ChrisHongArt]

don't forget to come back!!😜 hehe and I'm glad you like the beagle! 😚

[@TheRiddle11]

One of the best watercolor illustration i have never see

[@ourabouras]

This was such a treat to watch from beginning to end. Love that you went with a swamp instead of the typical tropical looks, it’s refreshing plus all the animal characters are adorable😁

[@jennihappy9127]

This piece is insane!! So many aspects, environment and characters that don’t crowd each other but compliment each other instead! The colors scheme also helps bring them together so well I love it❤️

[@curiousorigins]

This looks amazing. It reminds me a lot of the allegorical and pastoral movement in Dutch and Flemish art of the mid-1600s- mid-1800s. It looks so ethereal, with the glowing characters and the little stories of music and joy they seem to be telling. It is utterly amazing. With all those miniature scenes but then this all-encompassing overall vision that ties it all together. I know it was painted recently, but it looks like it belongs both in a museum and in a story book. It certainly feels like the bayou with all that warmth too. It looks like a beautiful idealization of the bayou rendered with a lot of love. It also reminds me a lot of The Rescuers movie by Disney.... which is pretty me my favorite. Obviously well done. You should be incredibly proud of this work. It’s awesome.

[@minnie310]

Art major freshmen

[@beebearcraftycottage5407]

I Absolutely LOVEEE this so much ❤ I just wish I saw this 4 years ago so I could have got the print 😂. Your work is absolutely stunning and I appreciated how much planning you do and how much of the process you show. I always feel “wrong” about re drawing over and over since so many artists go from start to finish so quickly. I’ve been lacking a lot of motivation since it always takes me so long. But watching your video made me feel excited to go back to my sketch book and use as much pages as I need to be happy with my piece ❤

[@felipebrockveld]

It is really a bouncing feel. It is amazing and so joyful! Precious and unique! Thanks for sharing!

[@camianina]

I don't have enough words to explain how much I love your job, this piece is my favourite by far. You're amazing, Chris.

[@shankarvouniaris]

There should be an internationally acclaimed award created for you and this painting!!! It’s phenomenal!

[@peepsqueek923]

I would loooove you to do a skillshare class on more advanced painting lessons like this!!

[@jodihigginsjh]

It really is visually yummy! Beautiful and creative piece! Thank you for sharing your thought process. It was really helpful.

[@danielc2530]

This is amazing! The picture actually looks like it’s lighting up!

[@heysolveighansen]

I love hearing and seeing your work progress, it’s so detailed! And the end result is amazing

[@_bewitchedbyyaz]

this piece is absolutely breathe taking, really reminds me of the warmth of the south and i can just hear the music. I love your process and planning it inspires me so much to not be lazy artist and put more effort into my own pieces

[@gabriellanowicki856]

I'm only a few minutes in, and I love love love this! I saw the finished piece on Instagram earlier and was so glad to see you posted some videos on your process as well. It gives me some kind of inexplicable happiness to see other artists comps and how their vision shifts into the final "draft" of the artwork. Seriously impressive!

[@ranasafi4858]

I am such a fan of your art and the process itself! I want to have the patience to do little mockups and stuff like that. Also they look really cute. Excellent painting. I think the light in this piece makes it look phenomenal.

[@vincemincevince]

[@sharonnedwards6027]

This piece literally made me GASP when I saw it while scrolling....such a warm, adorable and LIVELY piece of art. I just have the word "gesture" screaming at me when I see the motions of their bodies. So lovely, you really touched on something magical with this 💚🧡💛

[@finedaysunday]

this has such a strong lieve baeten vibe, i love it!

[@Jshib]

You have the perfect art style for a children's book, you should totally do one.

[@juwitakhoirunisa2906]

Your work is incredibly beautifuuuuul. I just reaaaaaaally love this!!! 💛

[@angelzarzosa6447]

This is amazing 🤩💕😊

[@KitKatToeBeans]

I really enjoy seeing your full process and your comments throughout! So many artists on KZbin show their final work being painted...and it can make it seem like that took them no time at all, which can be discouraging if the viewer believes that and it isn’t anything like their own process. Hope that made sense 😂

[@amandaharig1978]

I do watch a lot of KZbin's art channels. It's become a guilty pleasure of mine and I fully support the artists that put themselves out there on a platform. Your adventures stand out unlike any other. I love that you share your triumphs and your struggles in this way. The "ground-up" examples are my favorites, of course, but there's a gentility with your style that conveys a story. In short: thank you for the time/energy/skill it takes for sharing your work in this way. I truly enjoy it.

[@shifter9653]

That's freaking amazing! That would fr make a good movie character not gonna lie

[@clearwater7000]

Amaaaazing: cute, creative and artistic! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@chaikajpeg2842]

This is mindblowing...

[@akuma689lbj]

Gorgeous!

[@luckypuppy2014]

Wow mindblowing

[@jeannafolmarful]

HOW?! Hoooooow????! omg! This is the most beautiful and detailed watercolor. Just HOW? I’m over here trying to paint a cow that looks like a 2nd grader did it! 😭😭😭

[@mistylang429]

I love love love this!

[@neyruzAJ]

Nice result, I draw in a different style but what it catch me was the nice contrast between your lights and shadows, it brings movement to this pice.

[@cece9543]

THIS IS SOOOOO GOOD!!!!
