    I'm usually a silent veiwer, but I just wanted to say: I loved this! The vibes were warm and cozy and the drawings were so sweet! I hope if you feel more comfortable you can continue to serve us this lovely content :)

    Howdy! Painter and photographer here. Thank you a million times for helping ease the stigma of drawing from reference photos that aren’t taken by you. The issue isn’t in using them for reference, it’s in making money off of them.
    When building your skills at your art, there is no need to reinvent the wheel in the process. Take it one step at a time and work up to taking your own reference shots.
    Lovely sketch seesh!

  • @thisotakusraisondetre5650

    Dude, yes! Draw strangers that are at the mall food court/anywhere. I can’t wait to see more of your series!

    I love the series idea!! art vlogs from you would be amazing omg & if you did sketching in art museums/parks etc. too
    voiceovers are scary - idk how people vlog in public it makes me so nervous! but probably once you're used to it it'll be easy

    You’re so brave! I’ve never been able to go places by myself without wanting to crawl under a rock, lol. There’s something about your art that’s very rare and magical…it seems almost living; it’s absolutely fascinating. I haven’t been watching many art vids lately, but I’m feeling a little inspired now…thanks! 🎨

    Sketchbook Cafe sessions are always a lonely thing for me, even if someone approaches me while I'm doing it (they are not artists). I'm glad to see someone sharing their talent and experience because I always wonder what other people experiences (and sketchbooks) are like. Thnx for sharing!

    Thank you for taking 2.5 hours to bring us a 15 minute coffee break! This was the perfect addition to my morning break. I am so glad you had one little spot of real time drawing footage. The sphynx was my favorite, you gave him such personality! Kudos for doing this despite being nervous; I get anxious just drawing in public and I’m not even filming!

    I absolutely love the idea of sketching/drawing/creating art in a public space. I completely see where you’re coming from with getting over the self-conscious aspect of recording yourself in public! I’m still at a weird point in my CZcams career that I don’t feel comfortable half the time filming in my own home, especially if my husband is home which is crazy because I love him more than anyone. I really appreciate you sharing this content with the world though because I think it is a small step to helping me get past that part in my own comfort zone. These sketches are super cute by the way!!! Now I wanna go sketch some kitties :)

    A really nice video. The cafe was a lovely, warm place out of the rain. You did an amazing job, moving the camera to find a different angle, and finding better seating for nicer light.
    The cat sketches were a great idea, and by cat #3, you captured the expression very quickly. Loved #4, too.

  • @ringsroses
    @ringsroses Před rokem

    I'm glad you're experimenting with subtitles. Narrated videos are fun, especially if I'm going to work on art while I watch but if I'm only going to watch I really enjoy having subtitles. I feel like it forces me to focus and be more deliberate about what I'm watching. Plus, it helps if this is how you actually enjoy creating. It's way more fun watching a video where the creator is enjoying what they're doing. At least imo
    I enjoyed the format and that you're trying new things. Looking forward to whatever you do next 😊

    Since you asked, I gotta say I'm really digging the pace you've set so far in your cafe series - full content and all, no jumps. It's both relaxing and super interesting to watch/read. Plus, getting to see the whole drawing process really helps in what I'm learning from you : ). I could spend my whole day binge watching your cafe stuff! LOVE IT!!!

  • @myBrownpuppy
    @myBrownpuppy Před rokem +2

    Amazing set up and love the vibe! Keep up with the series ❤ I see a lot of people who draw or do work in public. So don’t worry! If people stare it’s because they are curious of what you’re creating. ❤

  • @autumn_colours8964
    @autumn_colours8964 Před rokem

    I liked seeing the full drawing, I glad you didn't skip parts! Also I know it takes you longer but I liked the illustrations begging more fleshed out and detailed 💗 Well done doing something scary! I hope you enjoyed it afterwards and that you keep pushing yourself x I would enjoy seeing your drawings of people in real life. Thank you for sharing 😊

    I love the atmosphere of the rain and the coffee shop. I think it'd be cool if you did a real-time video, even if it was only 20 minutes like how you said you wanted to keep them shorter. I live in the country so I don't have a local coffee shop, so I think a real-time video with all the ambience of everything would be fun/immersive :D
    And your cat sketches were so cute! I'm making a comic book starring cats, and it took me so long to learn to draw them where they didn't look flat-out scary xD

    Good one! Such fun to hang out and watch your creations progress. And it’s super interesting to notice how this video differs to ones I had seen from you in the past (say a year or more ago).
    PS: I strongly approve of your choice of music, which definitely made for a pleasant experience.
    As far as text versus voice, it’s a toss up, because they each have their benefits. Your vocal style is pleasant and endearing when you employ it, but on the other hand, by just providing text in this one, you have made somehow a more quiet introspective experience (if that makes any sense, lol).
