    This was so exceptional! Educational, relaxing, so pleasing to watch! Your voice is soothing and your instructions were so chill. You were extremely clear in telling us exactly what to do. It was very kind and generous of you to show us how to use shot glasses and the glass bowl instead of using your protractor... knowing that beginners don't necessarily have a protractor at home. Your music choice was exceptional and I loved how it was soft in the beginning and then grew louder toward the end of the video. The music was perfectly suited for the content of your video. I really really enjoyed it. The only suggestion that I have is that maybe you want to say hello with your face in the beginning. You are so lovely. Those of us who follow you already know what you look like but for first-timers who come to your video by means of the algorithms recommendation, they've never seen you. So it would be really nice to see your sunshiny face in the beginning and maybe even to break it up in the Middle where you suggest that we add more detail. I also loved your two silver rings. They added just a touch of additional visual interest without detracting. This was a top-notch video and it's so fun to follow along with you. Have a great night and continued success

    You are so lovely! And talented. I just found your channel and I subscribed from over here in Maryland, USA. I look forward to following along with your journey. And your lighting was great, btw. Very soft and pretty. My only comment about this video is that it made me super-anxious instead of "calm" like in your title. The fast speed of the video made my 56-year old menopausal heart race. The art work is EXQUISITE and the concept is great....but I had to get out of my chair and walk away from my laptop after just a few minutes (but I left the video running to give you maximum watch time). I couldn't watch more than a few minutes. I don't know what to suggest....because it is an EXCELLENT video. The end result blew my mind...Maybe just change title....delete the word "calm". I hope you are not offended. I am offering this suggestion with a loving heart. Just to give you feedback as to how I perceived the video. I thought it was going to be a clip of very, very, very slow and deliberate strokes. That would almost hypnotize us...long, slow, calm, gentle and sleepy-soft strokes of your pen..... Edited to say: I just read the description. I see now that your video is showing us that mandala drawing is a meditative process for the person drawing. It wasn't meant to be a meditative video for us viewers. Look forward to following your journey!! Best wishes from abroad!

      Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I am so grateful for your feedback and I completely agree with you. I got so involved in editing it down into a certain time limit that when I sat back and watched it, I realized it was quite stressful to watch in high-speed ha ha!!! My process of drawing is such a calm experience for me and I need to figure out the right way to showcase that without making it too boring to watch. There are parts that will always need to be skipped or sped up so I need to figure out how to find the right balance. You've given me some wonderful ideas and thank you so much for your support. Greetings from Australia :)

    Good luck with your channel. It's a lot better quality than mine! One thing I've found to help with growing is making shorts. More people will see shorts and a lot of them will check out your channel if they like what they see. Also just ask questions in your videos for people to comment on . The more engagement on your videos the more UA-cam pushes them. Hope those are helpful tips. Keep up the good work!

    • @sonjabellaart
      @sonjabellaart 21 день тому
