from an idea to a finished illustration
Hi. Guys, good, afternoon today's Thursday I realize, I haven't filmed, one. Single, thing for, this week's video and I'm getting really nervous because. I. Usually have kind, of like a bunch of stuff film. But. Not this time no. So. Yeah welcome my. Hair it's, looking. Color wise okay. But. It's so dull I haven't, done anything to it in, the past week. We. Can all understand, why it's been really crazy anyway. See, you tomorrow don't do anything crazy until, tomorrow I mean you're going to see this in a couple of seconds but. Yeah. See, you tomorrow guys. Hi. Guys oh my god this is yeah. That's just my it's it's ok hi guys welcome to in. My own focus ma'am. Okay. Hmm. Hi guys, today's. Fighting I. Hope. You didn't do anything crazy in between. Thursday and Friday anyway so, today I, decided, that I'm going, to draw something because, it's penalizes, last time we. Drew something together you and I mm-hmm. So I. Asked you guys on Instagram if you could give me any suggestions for things to draw today and a. Couple. Of you guys said like it will be great if you could draw something on New York today the thing is guys I don't know if you can see now you can't, today's, been raining like crazy there's, like a thunderstorm going on right now so. No. Landscapes, today. Mmmm. I can't. Go to a coffee shop. Can. You hear that I. Don't. Think I'll be able to go home today I mean I am overreacting obviously. I, just had lunch it. Looks gross but it was actually really nice and I. Needed some sweet tangerines, for my, immune system. So, yeah today today, today I'm. All by myself you, guys look, at this amazing. Let's, see if I can do this sketch today, hopefully. We can start painting the, situation, and, finish. The final sketch artist on Monday, so. Yeah. I'm going to read your comments now and. See. What, crazy, ideas, you escaping. So. I read, all of your comments guys, and. There. Are a bunch of them so thank you so much for taking the time and writing, down a few suggestions, for me there's. A bit of everything, there. Were ideas there. There, are amazing ideas, interesting, ideas so I, think I'm, going to pick one and. This. Is I have no idea how I'm going to draw it away guys it's very dark in here I mean you can't tell because I bumped. The light up, on. My camera. Can. You hear that anyway. Give. Me a couple, of minutes so I can work on this sketch and I. Will see you very. Soon. Okay. Nice let's. See if I can share what, I've done so far I have. Three ideas that I really like and. I. Think they're really interesting, first.
Of Them is this one which is a cat, a pirate, cat with. A, goldfish. In a. Bowl. Having. Adventures I. Change. The. Ball part only because it will be more interesting for the fish to be walking, as well and I, think this can be really interesting the second idea is a bear, a bunch, of bears in a band. Playing. And doing. Stuff like that. Playing. And doing stuff like that very nice one flat. God what is wrong with me anyway. All. Of them being in a band and of. Course the, name of the band is bear trap and. There. Are other, ideas that I think they're really interesting but the other one that I liked is this one is. What. Is the name got, sailor drinking tea and, I don't know why I thought this one. Could, be really interesting so I kept, these. Three, and I started doing more sketches, for those ideas so these. Are very quick quick, sketches guys but this is the bear band. These. Are some sketches, for the goldfish. Should. I be enjoying this challenge. Hey. Anyway. I thought, this could be really interesting and, I, don't know why I think they. Could, be like a very good. Adventure. Couple like. Partners and. Yeah. Anyway. And. This, one I don't know why I thought, it could be such, a nice. This. Could be a really nice juxtaposition. It's. Not even a word in English I know it is in Spanish but like. A nice contrast, between a, monster. About killing, all human, beings and. Being. Like such a quiet morning before work I thought, it, could be nice, and, I, thought to, put like, a very Scandinavian. Kitchen, on the background I also, like, to put this detail, and okay guys know it is but, a bunch of humans. As. Next. Anyway. I, honestly. Can decide between, these, three ideas because I think they're really cool. Kudos. To everybody who. Gave. Me suggestions specially. These three people I have. An idea which one to do guys because, I feel. Very. Attracted. To all, of this so. Let's. Let's, ask add what, he thinks. She. Gave. Me nothing look. Like. In the recent old buddy, hideous. And. Traces, esta. Yeah. Indo circa a it was a lot ridicule moved on Godzilla also, il, Matto ya. Que empezar mahkumaat. But, the western side Kruger, Leonard here is the histo, como my, classical, el. Esta. Muy classically. The. Music Oh. Gracias. Alright, guys. That. Was weird anyway. I. Am. At the office right now and I just, finally. Finish filming, patron. Q&A which is about an hour long and, now, it's. Almost, twelve, o'clock, I think. Before. Lunching. Before. Leaving lunch I'm, going to work on the sketch for. Today's. Illustration, while, the video is exporting, and everything I have. No idea how long is that going, to take and, I'm really bad at sketching, while, filming, because, I get too soft conscious about it so, please, allow. Myself give. Me a couple of hours so I can work on the sketch and later. On we're, going we are going to bring together. Ok, guys I'm making, some progress the. Page as you can see is still blank. But. This. Is what I came. Up with I, am. Very bad at drawing. From. Memory guys, I don't, know if we can show you this but, on the. Way to the studio on the subway, I made. A sketch, let me see if I can find it so I don't know if you can see you. Probably can't see but, this, was my initial. Sketch, for this thing for. Demonstration, and I, don't know if you can see but the. The. Perspective, is as boring as hell because, guess. What I've never had a band before and, I have no idea why, how. Rehearsal. Studios, look like and band. Practices, look like so. This, is the moment when, you as an illustrator, have to, get. In touch with your witnesses, thinks, that there's. No way I can, draw. That what I did was, I looked for, pictures, of how. Band. Practices, looked like and they realized that it will be way, more interesting. To. Base, the illustration, on our already existing picture, than. Recreating. Every, saying from scratch on my mind because that would walk so, what I did is I based the studies I did last. Week on the, Bears, and. This is what I came up with so. This is basically the, illustration, I don't know if you can see but the. The. Base is somehow. Similar but. I love that in, this case you can see the, drums and the, whole drumming, section. Here. As a first. Layer. And then you can see all the. Ingredients. All. The band members display. There I changed, this, person. Here because I want her to, be a, keyboard. Musician. To say keyboard, a keyboard. Person, anyway and, but I remained. I changed, slightly, where. The drummer is but. I kept, the, details of the rehearsal, studio because, I love how these details, look like on the ceiling and I think it gives more, realism. Reality. We all effect to, this illustration, and it actually, looks like a band like. A rehearsal studio, I, am. Very happy that I did this guys because. It's. Very hard to. Admit. That. You have no idea how to draw a space, but.
It's Actually, the best thing you can do from the get-go because then you can look. For. References. And, inspiration. On google, or on real art pictures and I feel that gives. Your illustration, like a new, whole different, level because you're basing everything on a very. Interesting perspective, that, I honestly. Wouldn't, possibly. Like. There's no way I would have drawn, that from scratch so, there's, nothing wrong with asking. For, help and looking. For references on Google because it. Will help your illustration, so, now basically, what, I need to do is transfer, this illustration, onto. That paper I am going to use my. Trusty Goodall, prismacolor, colors. And. Once that transfer, is done I will start painting but. Before that I'm going to have lunch because I'm being hungry so I see, you after lunch and once I'm done with the skits so wait, a, second. Hi. Guys oh my, god okay. So, I. Am. At the state in which I have no idea if what I'm doing it's. Good or not I did. Have fun though although. Filming. And, painting, at the same time is always very tricky so tomorrow. I'm going to keep painting this, illustration, I think tomorrow I'm going to do all the outline and then, finally, I'm going to finish this faster because it's taking, way too long and also. Tomorrow I need to edit this video so hopefully I can finish everything tomorrow. Am i aiming too high, I. Don't. Know if this happens to everybody but I just, use my drinking. Water as my, brush. Water so, very. Good friend, anyway. Wish me luck on my Japanese class and. See. You tomorrow guys have a good night, hi. Guys good morning god, I'm, so sleepy. I am, very sleepy today am. Ia little focus I, don't. Know. Let's. Do this guy's today we need to finish this illustration, and I need to edit this video so. Let's. Freakin. Do this, right. Now. There. You go how, are you my love's I think, I'm officially done with the illustration, I mean I could keep. Tweaking, that. Bastard, forever this was, super. Fun you guys of course the, pressure of impressing, you is still there and I. Honestly, did, my best but. It. Was really fun to share all the process because I think it's so important, to if. It, if, this experiment, was successful, in one, way it, was to prove that is super, useful to have references. From pictures, from real life and. I. I. Hope I show, you some, of the process, this. Illustration, would have been super, different if I would have done everything. By. Memory, yeah, please never feel embarrassed, to use pictures as a reference, because. Illustrators. We don't do everything from. Memory that will be horrible and that's. Why even Disney. Studios, they use models, to recreate, all the movements, and they. Do study. Sketches, and they go to fields, to understand, how nature works and stuff like that so. Yeah my love's I hope you, had fun in, this video thanks so much for all your, recommendations. My, Instagram, was filled with. Your. Ideas anyway, thank you so much also to all of my pages because, you, guys they, allow me to buy, these. Wonderful. Gouache. Paintings, and art supplies and. This. Amazing paper and, pencils. And everything so thank you so much patrons for allowing me to do this, super nice quality, videos, and. For, allowing me to rent, a space such, like this gorgeous space you guys are the best so. Yeah, my love's I hope you're having a wonderful. Friday. And. A lovely weekend ahead and, I'll see you next week bye. Guys, bye bye. The, bye-bye.

Awesome video Fran! Love it!
I‘m so relieved, I always feel super „guilty“ when using reference material.
What kind of paint do you use? I adore those colors and can never find them!
I like the style. I looked really good...^^
Eres Chilena? Juré que eras Mexicana. Compatriota, sigo tu canal and I love it♡
The humans as snacks are golden
como extrañaba escucharlos con su hermoso acento chileno
Fran por que no buscas en Pinterest fotos sobre el reloj de Londres y haces algunos dibujos y te recomiendo que escuches la música lofi hip-hop es muy buena esa música ( saludos desde Medellín-Colombia
Me dio mucha risa como te dio mucha risa el dibujo del pez jajaja
When this illustration came up in your story last week on Instagram, I was listening to rock music pretty loud, so I instantly imagined the bears playing my music. It was surreal and awesome.
amo cuando hablas español
I'm sorry if someone has already asked this BUT where is your blue jacket from?! I am obsessed with it and haven't stopped thinking about it since I first saw you wearing it!
The only time when people will accept body hair
Hey Fran!!! Love your videos!! Just a quick tip for colourful hair: I've had electric purple hair for almost 5 years now. To keep the colour, I make my own colour depositing conditioner (mix a plant based colour, such as arctic fox, with a deep conditioner). It helps to keep the colour vibrant and hair healthy without doing much work
oooh PLEASE do some #misadventuremay with the cat pirate and goldfish..
Amazing work Fran
¡Qué hermoso acentoooo el chileno! ¡Muchos saludos!
Why not have Bear Trap play at a local coffee shop where the cat, fish and Godzilla are part of the audience. The cat and fish are fans of the band and Godzilla was intending on getting things done and didn’t realize they had live music... especially such loud live music?!
I always love the music choices in your videos, very happy but not distracting! And oh, that Godzilla in his kitchen...
It was really exciting hear you and Ed speaking español chileno otra vez! Lo extrañaba mucho! Greetings from Chile!
Where is the long roll of pink paper from at 0:54? Also I love your hair color so much. Please do a vid on it at some point Xo
AMO CUANDO HABLAS ESPAÑOL hahaha ademas me encanta tu acentico chileno
That bear band is lovely. Bears always look somewhat dorky and it's funny seeing them do random human stuff. I highly recommend watching some sun bear material. Sun bears have really awesome expressions and are for sure the dorkiest of all bear species (but sadly also have a very tragic history). Also want to mention that I love your videos. They have such a nice atmosphere and are motivating me to be active.
Vídeos en español pls
I would love to have the bears as an art print!
I often use my drinking water as my brush water, and sometimes I almost drink my brush water :D Spaced out illustrators is the norm I guess! haha! All the best Fran !
I love the sketches you made. They're all so interesting and creative.
me encanta!
Juxtaposition...contrast with dinosaur and calm background? And, Fran, your color palette sings to me. My favorite color is periwinkle blue, and the others in this, the saturation, are fabulous. Heart heart heart! ❤❤❤
my love for your sketch studies is infinite
Hola Fran tengo una pregunta. Hace tres años cuando empecé una página de Instagram y a subir lo que hacía ponía de excusa que todavía no tenía un estilo o que no era lo suficientemente skilled para esto o aquello. Hoy crecí muchisimo ya y puedo dibujar casi cualquier cosa, tengo un estilo propio con el que estoy muy feliz y aún así todavía no hice un gran despegue y siento que ya no tengo las excusas que tenía cuando empecé. Es posible que el no hacerlo o animarse a cosas más grandes este condicionado x mi estupidez o miedo de cagarla o miedo de comprometerme a algo y que después me de paja seguirlo? Tuviste algún momento en tu historia como ilustradora en el que sabias que podias pero no lo hacías por alguna excusa estupida que venía de adentro? Y otra cosa, siento que puedo pero que para hacerlo deberia ser mi propia coach y no se si eso es posible, siento que la imposición de hacer algo nunca viene de adentro o si viene de adentro no la respeto tanto como si viene de forma externa (clientes) alguna vez tuviste problema con eso y si si, como lo resolviste? Tuviste algun enlightment que te ayudo a entrar en la onda de hacer las cosas ordenandote a vos misma sin necesitar la presion de otros?
i love the finished illustration, and the name of the band is just too cute. i'd love to see the godzilla illustration too!
Oh Fran I am LOVING your bears! :') x x
Hi Frannerd! I was wondering if someday you could talk about isolation/loneliness as a freelance artist? I don't know If you struggle with this, but I would love to hear your opinion/experiences. ❤
Waaa can you finish the other two illustrations too??? Sooo cute!!!
Please finish the Pirates and Godzilla as well
Hi Fran, I really love this illustration
I just got in a band! Last week was my firs reheadsel! Your drawing is soo accurate and cool! Love it ^^
Really enjoyed this Fran. I really loved the godzilla drinking tea as well
band practice makes bearfect hehe
love love love
Fran you should make a list of all the ideas and publish them in your insta so your creative fans can draw some of them like #francrazysketchclub
I love the result! It's always nice to hear your speaking in Spanish. Me gusta mucho tu acento :)
I totally guessed that Ed would choose the bear band!! Love this Fran, I think you nailed it! Would love to see the other ideas come to life sometime!!
Se siente muy bien escucharlos hablar español
oh my goodness your goldfish are SOO adorable...hope to see more of them soon xoxo
Neste video tu estas tan centrada y compenetrada,
Hermoso Fran!!!
I really like how this turned out and now I want to draw it too!!
Any drawing from you fran has this amazing effect! I mean it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Los amé hablando español.
It can be worse! Like when you use your brush water like drinking water. Thank you for your video and your time!
Reference is for pros
cachai?
Te admiro por la seguridad que tienes en la linea, yo tendria que hacer varias lineas y borrar mucho XD
Love your choice of music! Arigato!
Your videos make me miss New York City so much. I lived there for six years, but have since moved to Austin. It's so nice to see your day to day, loved the sketches!
Wonderful illustration! Yes, it's very important for us artists to have good reference when starting a new piece. Loved watching you paint
We were talking about how artists sometimes accidentally use their drinking water to clean their brushes in class the other day and today both you and Dina did just that :o I'll bring up making all artists millionaires next class. Loved the illustration!! Thank you for sharing your process and for everything else
Your Chilean Spanish is beautiful!
I love rain and thunderstorms ❤
Qué diferente se escucha tú voz cuando hablas español! También me gusta cuando llamas a hamburguesa porque usas español
The comments were at exactly 100 but I had to ask this
I loved this! This was such a great video and I hope to see more than this
New York don't know how to be quiet.
0:54
These videos are the best !!! Draw with Fran ❤️❤️❤️
I like the final, it's very "Bluesy" (Like the music and the color :)
amo tu acento chileno
Me encanta el resultado final.
*You NEED to put that goldfish face (top one), with "Are you a chicken?" on t-shirts Fran!
chronicfish AAAAHGREEED!!!
Oh I love it...Beer Trapp....Temper Trap... L Totally adored his socks and shoes..
Bear-y nice! Love this illustration, Fran!
Hey Fran, loved the illustration. Gorgeous as always. Well, anything you draw is gorgeous. Watching you just sit back and paint is so soothing and I always feel better after watching your videos. Maybe next time you can draw your cats as real humans? I'd love to see that.
Hey Fran, i know this pressure very well, i face the same problem but the important thing is to draw together! Big Hug
You've got Godzilla all wrong. He's the good guy saving the planet. Humans are collateral damage and mostly when he's trying to defend himself from their attacks. He fights Mothra and the others who ARE the bad guys. So an image of him drinking tea is actually a very sweet - and correct - representation!!
Ay tenes el pelo re lindoooo!!!!! PD: Love your videos, and everything about your channel, and drawings, and its amazing how much you've growth!! GOOD Vibes to both
Such a fun vid! The sketches look so cool! Godzilla looks super cute!
I really enjoyed this illustration and hearing more details about the process. Hi hope you'll paint the other two ideas too ☺
I used to be super self conscious about using references, but it all changed when I saw a documentary about the making of some of Disney's films and that they actually filmed actors performing and used that as a reference for the animators. I felt like if the pros at Disney are doing it, who am I not to :D :D
I must say, your fish sketches remind me of all the lovely fish you see in Ponyo.
^^
Me encantó escuchar su acento :) saludos desde Argentina
Totally envious of your biz office space!
I yawned along
ooh those lovely lovely pastels
Sketching and research are my favorite steps! Very cool video
Amé este videooo, no dejes de grabar tus procesos, Love you Fran
Amo cuando hablan español chileno xD I love when speaking chilean spanish
Flan Meneses
I always get so motivated seeing your vlogs. Its so simple with you. You just draw and worry about regular things and make comics about it. There is no drama. It is just regular life and it is so relatable. Not many people are this domestic on youtube. I like it
Me gustaría mucho que dibujaras o que nos hablaras sobre Chile y el resto de los países en que viviste. Qué deberíamos visitar de ellos y cómo son para vivir y para trabajar. Tienes un canal precioso. Besos desde España.
Gracias Kevin por los subtítulos sisi ❤
Does anybody know what kind of paint she is using?
The suggested illustration ideas were excellent! So fun and funny! You did them justice, too, Fran! I really like the bear band.
I hope you hold onto that fish adventure idea. I loved your little fish sketches and that idea is super unique!
I love your studio
I love how supportive of each other you two are!
Deberías retomar en un futuro la idea del gato y el pez dorado y por supuesto a godzilla tomando té, ¡Me inspiras tanto Fran!
Hey Fran, you are absolutley right! It is no shame to use references, it can be sooo helpful! I love your „Bear Trap“ Band-Illustration
New subscriber here. I am Not a good artist. And too broke for buying supplies and art school. But your artwork really teachs me a lot and now i can try new things.. So thanks and take care
Hola Fran. La verdad... Estoy súper inspirada con éste video. Te sigo desde hace no sé cuántos eones cuando vivías en Alemania y es... Impresionante y muy emocionante cada vez que te veo entintar o delinear tus ilustraciones. La forma en la que tiras las líneas con tanta seguridad me hacen sentir muchísima admiración, porque todo el trabajo que has hecho durante tanto tiempo, se nota. Uuufff. Vaya que se nota. Jajaja. Me encantó la ilustración aunque Godzilla también me parecía una buena idea. ❤️
I love your videos. I always eat by myself and i watch your videos when i have a lunch break so it isnt as lonely. Thank you ❤️
I hope you can make the time to do one of those godzilla illustrations! I especially love the large one at the top of your godzilla sketch page
Fran: Hi Guys! Me: Hi Fran :)
Que bacan que seas chilenaaaaaa, no conozco tantos artistas youtubers chilenos y menos que hablen ingles. Suscrito ❤
Fran can we pleaaase buy your line stickers on google play? Please let me know if you read this so i know T.T
Extraño los videos en español y las aventuras de ed y fran
Extrañaba tanto escucharlos hablar en español que necesitaba comentarlo
Bajsjaja me encanta cuando hablas en chileno
Godzilla drinking tea doe lolol also that Goldfish expression :( so funny! The illustration turned out nice would like to see more rage but I like the indie calm vibe of their band
Hi Fran ♥ i missed those videos ♥ i hope to always see you happy and drawing ♥ i do have a question ,because this is where i get stuck ,the transferring of the drawing from sketch book to watercolor paper ,how would you do that?
I love it Ok but I still quiero ver Godzilla drinking cafecito antes de trabajar lmao
u are so fair n lovely
Primera vez que te veo hablando en chileno jajaja re loco! Y re genial
I'm sorry Fran, but this bear illustration is not that good. Just to mention one point that is problematic: perspective, the backgroud and even some objects. I love your illustrations, you did your best, certainly, but you gotta know basic drawing pillars, perspective a a huge bitch to dominate, so dont feel bad, insteas take a perspective course
Hey Fran! What's that thing you're unclipping from your tripod at 7:26 of the video? Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos, it's always so nice to watch them, thank you for sharing! In love with Godzilla's quiet morning (everybody needs one right :D ). Hugs from Belgium!
Este video me hizo recordar lo mucho que extraño y necesito tus "Let´s draw something" en mi vida Fran
Que bueno verte divirtiendote Fran! Me diste ganas de volver a explorar un poco con mi estilo de ilustración. Saludos desde Argentina!
Por favor Fran....los subtitulos se agradecen :(((
I was laughing at the goldfish sketches too XD
"Are u a chicken" *S I L E N T*
Me encanta que hablen en español
Ahh, I dipped my watercolour brush into my tea for the first time ever last week! I guess I'm a true artist now!
Tal cual Fran. Me ofende cuando la gente ve que uso alguna referencia para mis dibujos y me dicen: ah.. creí q lo habias hecho vos." Como si lo hubiera hecho dios o el espiritu santo jajaja solo x eso
Sometimes the best idea isnt the one you expected
Yes!!!!
Me gusto cuando hablaste en Español. Me siento especial por entender.
what amazing content. It makes me feel so confortable. Thanks for sharing your process with us. This vídeo will be an inspiration for my next vídeos. I hope you dont mind ::D
The Bear-ly There jazz combo! I like it. I have a similar round palette
New flat? Mucha suerte pareja (y gatitos). How is it in NY with animals, are they mainly allowed in flats?
I feel so relaxed and happy when I watch your videos, they give me the feeling of home even when I'm not home
Omg , Fran! You are over 200k. That is so exciting. I used to watch you when you first started and I’m so glad this popped up. Do you still live in England?
Fran: "I hope you didn't do anything crazy between thursday and friday" Me: *quit my job thursday night* Me: oops
Hey Fran, I finally caught up with your videos (all they way back from february!). They are one of my favourite things to watch to relax and (most often than not) drawing
you are such an inspiration. you know you are the reason I wanted to start my channel! :) I love watching you paint
drinking water-brush water struggle is real!
blablablabla
Fran ur videos are so aesthetically pleasing and I love watching them. And u inspire me alot Love ya
love your videos
When I watch your videos I get the urge to draw. I’m not very good at it so I get frustrated and quit lol. Then I watch your videos and then I try again and quit
"are you a chicken?"?! I love all 3rd-person comments in the margin of the sketchbook, but this one got me
Holalala Merci. Por fin una parte en español, milagro (lol). Gracias por tus vidéos y trajo :-)
That is a cute idea, but Godzilla doesn’t eat people. ✌
Yo también extrañaba escuchar su español chileno!!! Me encantó escucharlos en español
You look a bit like Emma Thompson! ♥
Are you going to restock the sailor moon prints? I want one so bad!
Hello Fran. Qué programa usas para editar tus videos? Son pagados?
Fran, es tan hermoso el acento chileno. Deberían hablar siempre en español. Saludos desde México.
Beautiful! Love your work and your videos.
Mais alguém do Brasil ou só eu?
Hola! Alguien que me diga los títulos/artistas que pone Fran de música de fondo?? Se me hace tan relax y me sirve para mis momentos de ansiedad
WOOOOOOW tu acento cambia muchísimo de español a inglés.
I’m a bit late.... but nonetheless dinosaurs are cute to draw! :) ♥️
Would love to see whatsapp stickers for these
this video will be better if it is more contained
So pretty
Me encanto cuando hablastes español XD
اللي جاي من اروى العمراني لايك
الي جايه من سناب أروى العمراني لايك
Can somebody tell what’s the brand of the pencils pleeeeeeease
Amazing and fun video. Totally impressed!
Please support young artists
Damn, I needed this in my life. I always felt embarrassed to tell people I use references for my art, because people who don't know much about it expect you to do everything from your imagination. I mean, who can draw a real looking chicken if they've never seen a chicken in their entire lives, no matter how imaginative they are? I realize more and more that it's impossible for artists to not use any source of inspiration. We are still artists. Thank you for sharing this and being so honest about your struggles, because we all have them, whether we admit it or not. And it's the first time I've watched any of your videos and your illustration looks really good and gave me a super happy vibe. It shows that you had fun making it. Keep going!
