- In this video I show you my process of creating one of my portals. This is one my favorite things to draw recently and there is a very special reason for that. In this art chat, I will also share with you some of the ways I personally keep myself inspired to create even when I feel like I just can’t make anything.

This is not chat. This is so deep that it left me with tears. Betsy Ur art is a Universe...as U yourself are. Thank U Betsi, this for me, as an artist in crisis, was a healing touch.❤
I honestly don’t know what to say 🥹. The healing process can be so very long for some of us. It can take years, decades, but art can help us through it. Know that I am here, if you need a little push, a reminder, a kind message. But mostly I truly hope you can find what you need in order to begin healing.
Please don't stop this. Your art, the way you share your experience, the encouraging words are really very inspiring. This motivates so much.
Thank you, I will. I enjoy this very much as well. It’s a challenge with every video, but I’m enjoying the challenge.
You. You inspire me. Your drawings are otherwordly and mystical and dazzling. I just want to climb inside that one you just did and explore the unique world you've created. Thanks for sharing another amazing drawing!
Thank you so much 😀 . When I was younger I dreamed of becoming an animator, so I could create wild environments. I suppose there’s still time.
Nature is my biggest inspiration, especially tiny lifeforms that are easily overlooked. I take a lot of nature photos, many with a macro lens. The forms of these flora and fauna frequently find their way into my drawings, intuitively. Watching artists create is a close second, and I learn a great deal from videos such as this one. Thank you for sharing something that is intimate and personal, so generously with your viewers😊
Me, too. I love microscopic and tiny life of forms!
That sounds amazing! 💕 I love looking at macro photography for inspiration. So many wonderful textures.
At the end I had to shake myself out of the trance I was in while watching and listening! A mesmerizing and highly satisfying technique that turned out a gorgeous piece of art! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What can I say that will not bore or offend your followers. Maybe I should call you a doctor, or master etc. You are awesome, so deep that is way over my understanding for sure. I just love what you have to teach, encouraging us to search our inner selves, looking for answers that we may not comprehend but rather enjoying what is here and now. I just say to you thank you for sharing your talents, art, wisdom, knowledge, and yourself with us all! Bless you, my dear!!
Thank you 🙏🏽. I truly appreciate your kind words and your support. Especially on the net, it can be so hard to find kindness and compassion, which is why I do my best to communicate the way I do. I’m glad the message resonates with you and - of course - honest and heartfelt messages are always welcome. I hope you’re having a good day my friend 🌅
@betsi_jae Every day is great if you are alive! I am honored to be called friend and blessed
To have found your channel. Stay on your path, for you are doing what He intended, teaching love via your art. Thank you, my friend, for being you!
Thank you so much for inspiring today! I am inspired by “pretty”! I just like pretty things. Your art is “pretty” to me. I want to be like you but I want to mostly be satisfied with what I can do! Your chat has got my brain thinking a lot right now. I’m gonna attempt this! Thanks again!
There are many times when I simply want to draw Pretty things too 😊. Whatever makes the heart sing is what's best.
I've been very drawn to your videos lately, pun intended (lol), but just wanted to say thanks for making these, theyve really helped me with my art and my self confidence ❤
That’a a pretty good pun 😂. I’m glad you’re finding them helpful. It’s absolutely my pleasure.
Betsi, you are a delight! Your work is deep and gorgeous, your mind is deep and gorgeous! I get so much inspiration every time I watch you both at the level of design and pattern as well as mentally. I love the portal idea. Definitely will be using it in upcoming drawings.
I, too, love thinking about where inspiration comes from and what turns me on in all senses. For me, I'm an anatomy geek, so, I get much inspiration from bodies of all sorts, micro and macro. I have also done botanical illustration forever so that is an endless source of inspiration. The natural world is resplendent! I still love to go out in nature and make art. Due to health issues I am mostly housebound at this point. However, despite my challenges I can still spend hours every day doodling and making art is my meditation and my salvation.
I'm grateful for all that you share! It means a lot to me.
Thank you so much! And I’m so glad you’ve also found the joy in your drawing practice 🦋. The natural world has so much to offer. How could we ever stop creating?
beautiful thoughts... 3:22 "implications about our place in the universe"
I love the creations you draw and the ideas you share here. I also think about time, space, the universe, reality, it’s definitely therapeutic! Thank you so much for all the inspiration! I love you! God bless! 🙏🏽💝🌈
Yes! 😊Thank you! I knew I couldn't be the only one.
Miss Betsi, in this Now moment you inspire me ✨👌🏽 As an expressive art practitioner, I have experienced the magic of allowing my art creations speak to and from my heart. I appreciate your well expressed reminder.✨🙏🏽✨
💕 I'm happy to provide a little inspiration. It can be so therapeutic to create and express one's emotions. I think everyone should have a go at it.
Your work is amazing, so creative. This one scares me. Like how I’m afraid to look deep into the water when snorkeling. Your artwork def elicits emotions.
I can totally relate. The deep abyss is its own kind of frightening.
You inspire me. Too much to fit in a comment. Your soothing voice, message of going with your heart, AND your excellent tutorials! I’ve just recently found you and now you’re stuck with me. 😂💚
☺️ I'm happy to have you here so we can draw and doodle and chat.
I love this one, including the talk!❤
I REALLY like this one and the ideas of portals and wondering what lies beyond.
I’m so glad yo like it. Since I started drawing portals, it’s always been so therapeutic. 🦋
Hi Miss Betsi, I just found your page about a week ago. For months now… I have been so depressed …I would just sit with my paper and pen and nothing would come to ….Nothing! Then I found your page. I love your voice… I love to listen to you talk. Your drawings are amazing! Now I create something every single day. I Dont want to stop. 😊. I love astronomy and anything nature, beach, mountains …and flowers… I started growing flowers this spring and they bring me joy! I want to learn how to draw them. If I see your email I’ll email you a couple of my drawings. Thank you so much for getting me inspired to create. 😊
That's wonderful that you're finding a way through the slump. I know it can be difficult to find a way to feel better, and I'm just happy I could help a little.
Hello Betsy! Love the way you used these different patterns to create an intense cosmic visual 😮. I connect with a lot of your thoughts. I've always watched the sky (day or night) and always wonder about the universe, our place and incredible journey in this infinity. Younger I used to read a lot of sci-fi novels or illustrated stories about different imaginery worlds (like the ones by the very talented French artist Jean-Philippe Druillet). It captivates the imagination! Looking forward to the next draw and chat!!😊
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I absolutely love science fiction. There’s so much to discover and ponder about. Is this author you mentioned translated into English?
@@betsi_jaeHello Betsi! Actually his name is Philippe Druillet and he was and still is one of my most beloved fiction comics and cosmic artists of my youth. Yes his albums are translated in English. He has a very specific style mixing science-fiction with enigmatic characters, space, gigantism, architecture ... I wanted to send you a couple of photos from his work so you can have a taste of his style (one photo has the same kind of theme as your drawing!!) but I don`t know how to do it. Also you can find a short article about him in the English version of Wikipedia. Best regards and take care, Fabienne
YES ~ Space is ever evolving. BTW, love your self-portrait. How about drawing a quark, and other micro-building blocks in the natural world. Thank you for sharing that small insight into your own childhood. That is not always easy. What might you imagine is within a black hole? I wonder about it, and if my thoughts are anything like film makers (thank you Science Fiction - what I also call Science Possibility. Special thanks to Dr. Who! hahahaha) Math is not my personal forte', however, I wish that it were added to my present skills. Music and language come easy to me, but math, not so much. Love your inspiring work. Keep it up, as we LOVE your talks while we use the left brain to draw.
The wait-til-theres-evidence part of my brain tells me there's nothing in the black hole. There's no way to exist under such extreme conditions 😊. The sci-fi part of my brain imagines tunnels and universes and ecosystems that boggle the human brain. Scientific models show that if the basic conditions of existence, like gravity and electromagnetism were even just slightly different, then everything would fall apart. There's would be no universe to explore. But there's no shame in imagining all sorts of fun stuff and bringing it to life in paper ☺️.
I've really been inspired the past few weeks since l found your videos. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome! I hope you are enjoying the creative process 💜
I enjoy watching and listening to you. I’m interested in the cosmos also. My brother in law has his degree in astronomy , from Ohio State. I love watching star with him. He can talk forever about the cosmos…love it. I love your art, my stuff is quite similar. YOU are much better than I.
How interesting! I'm sure you and your brother have lots of engaging conversations. ❤
So relaxing watching you create this - and good words of inspiration. Tfs!
Glad you enjoyed it
Your drawings are amazing!!! Thank you for all the tutorials that you have shared. I started on my drawing journey last year and stumbled across yours just recently. I love them all and can never decide which one to draw first :-) I'm slowly getting my own equipment and would love to know what you use at the end of this tutorial to blend the black pencil. Thanks again!!!
Welcome and thank you for checking out the tutorials. After I use the pencil, I blend it using something called a blending stump, also known as a tortillon. Here is the set I bought recently : amzn.to/3FGS9lb
Wow. Amazing. ❤❤❤❤❤
I love watching you create, it's very therapeutic and relaxing! There's something about this page, I love it!
Thank you so much! These portals have their own little bit of magic about them 🎆
I LOVE anything about the sky, especially at night. I'm dumb as a brick when it comes to math (I'm dyslexic), but I love Quantum physics and read all about it. Can't understand 90% of it, but it's fascinating.
The heavens have much inspiration for us all 🧡. To be frank, I understand math and physics and it takes me a while to understand it all as well. Just like you I find it so fascinating, and I suppose I’m stubborn too, so I eventually manage to grasp some of the concepts.
Thanks Miss Betsi, this video was very inspiring to me. You are wonderful!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much fr watching 💕
I meditated over one of my tunnels and it gave me this idea of birth and transformation through death, as well as transcendence. 🌅
Nature turns me on, natural forms mother nature presents us in the tiniest as well as in the most gigantic manifestations of life.
One of my tunnels and meditating over it, made me cry, but in a truly cathartic way. It released all that pressure inside me, that usually only expresses itself by forcing dissociative phases on me, because discending from my body and physical being, is the only way to bear the hurtful impacts that caused my cPTSD. 😢 But the insight through meditation and these tears released all the pain within, which made me happy and fearless. 🎉
That's absolutely beautiful 💜
Love the picture.. but your calm gentle voice is so soothing and inspiring.. you're an artist and psychologist! Off to draw now!
Wow, thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the vid ☺️
Just keep showing up at the page. Do the work inspiration will follow.
So true🌄
Beautiful ❤❤
I am so happy that I stumbled across your channel. Your art is inspiring and gives me joy into my bones. Thank you
I'm so glad! We certainly need more joy in this world 💕
Stunning.
Ok my dear. You are far from being a normal person. You’re a beautiful mathematician, artist and now you’re learning physics. No my dear. You aren’t normal. You’re extraordinary. Never forget that.
Wow, thank you
@@betsi_jae
Huge Huggies my friend. Never forget your worth. I do all the time.
Love stuff like this. So neat. I think I keep getting better at Zentangle. Been working on it.
Great to hear! Try to remember that this is your own journey. It will take however long it needs to take for you, and no one else. I’m glad you’ve been working at it 😊
Oh, by the way, your artwork is spectacular! This is amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
THANKYOU FOR YOU!!❤
Awww 💕 thank you
Amazing love it
I'm glad you like it 😎
Awesome Betsi!
Thank you ☺️
wow, so profound.
👍👍👍
what inspires me is that i peeped a little poppet on your desk. also drugs
There is indeed a little poppet on my desk 😊. His name is Frederick.
@@betsi_jae we watched this last night on my stream, people love it. we drew together
Thanks!
Thank you so much 💕😊💕
❤️🤗❤️
Your art reminds me of the patterns seeing everywhere around us on earth and in the stars… we live in a fractal universe… Are you familiar with the Mandelbrot sequence? it states that the boundary of the Mandelbrot set is a fractal… It was also interesting that part of his name also matches the word “Mandala“. you can go quite deep down the rabbit hole on this, lol, literally :-)
So true 😊
I love your love of art and the universe! A lot of my paintings are such that I imagine it’s planets or something in the sky or universe.
I’m finding some of your doodles appearing in my art, and I hope this isn’t silly but how should I let others know? In my private group I showed someone a link to your alien fungi
Sharing links to my videos is usually the best way. Thank you 💜💜💜
Hi Betsi, what is the pen that you use in this video?
Link in the description =)
Bargain 30-pack pens
Love this “portal” great to watch you, inspirational! You need to pull up som Neil deGrasse Tyson, if you haven’t already!❤ What type of pen are you using?
"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
exactly
You would love to sit and chat with my bf Betsi...he's a retired Aerospace Engineer..lol. I call him my "Rocket Man"
Whaaat!?!I love chatting up engineers, especially aerospace. I used to know someone who also worked in that field and then became a programmer. This inspired me to later apply to work a summer job with a special program… I ended up working with the SETI institute in the summer of 2020. It was such an amazing experience, I’m planning to head over to the observatory sometime soon to go check out those juicy radio telescopes. 🌅
Yep, he worked for NASA for 20 years and so did his dad before him. He retired from NASA and decided to sign on with SpaceX for a year, he's thinking about resigning if I can't talk him out of retiring full time..HAHA It's hard to chose between Mr Musk and myself.🤣HIs son is about to join the SpaceX family too. Good for you for doing the things you love!...@@betsi_jae
Become a czt.
I would love to, but last I checked I would have to attend their seminars - costing nearly $1900.00 - in order to so.
