    did you know that beer might have been the first witches brew? Apparently, women used to brew it, and if it ended up bad, either they were blamed, or some demonic source was. they also usually had cats to keep mice away from the brewing materials, big cauldrons to brew with, wooden poles to stir with that had herbs on the end for displays during festivals, and large, tall black hats that were sort of like top hats. There's that little piece of information that probably no one needed! :P

    I recall a time when my mother stole my sketchbook from my room to show my adult brother, and I was so mortified that when I was alone I tore out every single page, which not only had characters but full fantasy backgrounds and question marks I hid in the details. I was still in elementary school; she was so angry when she found out I trashed all of it. I regret it to this day.

    • @LadyMDrgonfly
      @LadyMDrgonfly 5 років тому +178

      I understand she didn't think you should have trashed your art, but she never should have shown anyone your sketchbook, without permission. I'm an artist, and a writer, so I have sketchbooks, and notebooks, and I get so mad when someone looks at them, without asking. These are extremely personal things to creators.

    • @ratboy2

    • @TheFangirlOtaku
      @TheFangirlOtaku 5 років тому +87

      It was never her business to show or go through your art anyway. I think she should have been more aware of the possible outcomes of that situation, like *embarrassment and disaster,* before she decided to do something so selfish and ignorant.

    When I was first making OCs I gave all of them two different color eyes. I thought it would make them look unique.
    It would, if I didn’t have like twenty girls with different colored eyes in my sketchbook. I stopped once my friend pointed it out.
    Then my fifth grade teacher was an old woman with one blue and one brown eye, and she was hella mean. I liked to think that my old drawings came back to haunt me.
    Edit: Also, anyone else get this urge to draw whenever watching LavanderTowne and then realizing that your drawing skills stink?

    I recently created a redesign of a drawing I made a looong time ago. It was a woman with like a square shaped fish tank on her head walking through a tundra..I never knew why I drew it but it was a cool Idea and looking back on it now, it looks way better than before. So yeah, never through away your old art, because you may of had a really cool idea you liked and couldn't draw it quite well but you can now!

    You should make her a character for your current comic. I know you already have your comic idea laid out, but she could be a non important side character that wouldn't change the story. I think it'd be cool to add your first oc into your current work, and it would fit since she is a witch.

    About keeping old art, that’s something I emphasize when I meet new artists because I didn’t keep most of my old art and that is a mistake I still regret. A while ago I found a self-portrait in a old diary of mine from when I was nine years old and instead of throwing it away I cut it out and taped it into my sketchbook. Hell, I might treasure old art more than the art I make now. It’s just a reminder to be proud of your art, no matter how bad you think it is, because you improved and that’s what matters.

    I think that it's amazing how you engage with your old art and show your progress in art and design. A lot of people I know want to shun their older work and their "Deviantart days" completely, and I think that's a shame. Everyone makes mistakes when they start out, but that's part of the journey. It seems pointless to ignore what got you into art in the first place. I also think that this comparative style is very effective for teaching the way you do. Thank you for producing such excellent videos and wonderful art. :)

    Dear lavender, you've shown me that my art style doesn't have to be overly detailed to be good. You've helped me create my art style and I don't worry about the details/ if it looks good enough without detailing. I've tried to work on my movement and flow in my art and your art is definitely something I look up to. My art style isn't as round as yours, but the personality and the color are things that I love about your art. I know I'm not going to be a professional level artist ( I'm 15 and you've gone to art school) like you, but your videos help me to see what I need to work on. Thank you!

It's a really fun way to track both my progress and changes in my overall art style.

      Like the other one said, amino is a good place, where you can get featured.
      But your first focus shouldn't be just to get attention from others, that will make you depressed and stuff.
      Also you can do collaborations, art trades and stuff, so other artists mention you in their work and you mention(?) Them in your work.
      Win, win situation.
      You also can ask questions in your tweets, where people can interact.
      Also be the one, who comment on peoples work, interact with your followers, or little people you follow. They will be happy and are more willing to comment on your stuff.
      Puh xD
      Or you just have art,that is more for art people, not for everyone. These people barely get recognised by many people, and don't get attention that they deserve.

    • @fluffystuff500
      @fluffystuff500 6 років тому +5

      Sometimes being recognized takes a long time. You shouldn't try to push it. If you like drawing keep doing it because you like it. If you only want to be popular, then stop. Most people will appreciate you more as an artist if you're passionate about your drawings.
