    Really appreciate the Muslim lady with the headscarf - love the diversity of your introductory characters! I've recently started watercolor and your tutorials are some of my favorites. Happy holidays :)!

    Ok, this has got to be the cutest!! I thought it was going to be a faceless portrait. I like this so much more. Adorable painting of the cutest family. I think I found your channel in May and I’ve been hooked ever since. You make watercolor approachable. And your sweet personality brightens every single one of your followers’ lives. Thank you and Merry Christmas! ❤️

    This was SO much fun! I was so intimidated by water color, but you break it down where it's too much fun to be scary!

    Love this idea of simply drawing people. I have been wanting to write and illustrate some books (paper back type or comic book style) of my grand kids and maybe of my kids when they were young, just to hold onto and pass down the memories and even add their pets into the illustrations. SIMPLE but effective. (( Not necessarily to publish but just for our "home use")) Who doesn't love illustrated stories? This idea helps me be brave to go for that style in drawing the people. Really makes it more fun and takes the pressure of serious details off me. Thank you !!!!

    I am loving your illustration vids at the mo! It would be awesome to have some tips on how to make people look old - for xmas I did fanily portraits and the 80 and 90 year olds looked way too young!

It has now become one of my joys in life. Thank you ever so much and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2020.......LOVE SHERRY

    I’ve absolutely loved and admired those who watercolor for so many years. I’ve always told myself I couldn’t do it because in order to watercolor, of course you have to be able to draw. I can’t draw- my doodles aren’t even cute. It’s been VERY disheartening & frustrating to have had this roadblock for so long. I can’t even find the words to thank you for your slow, detailed instruction that I feel like are meant just for me. Can I watercolor? Well, yes, I think I can. 🙂

  • @nanschifris8734
    @nanschifris8734 4 роки тому

    I didn’t think I’d really get interested in this... but I did! I’m definitely going to try this for my family. Thanks for the instruction on simple facial shapes and features. That really helped me see how to do this successfully.

    These are so cute Emma!!! I'd love to see more videos on drawing and watercoloring people! Maybe add some side views and maybe show a couple of women drinking coffee or tea together. Maybe a family walking, kids swinging. Or even just more of what you've showed us already!!! :)

    Emma, I thought about doing a family portrait that would include our pets. Maybe you could do a tutorial on drawing simple cats and dogs 'cause after all they are part of our family. I was thinking of doing a family portrait on a Valentine's card for my husband including our cats. If it turns out half way decent I'll post it on Instagram!

    You did a wonderful job handling diversity. I've seen other artists only include caucasian. Sometimes I don't think that they think about it, but in a public forum, it is necessary that you do think about it. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I hope you reach 100,000 in the new year!

We are just waiting for our home to sell. I have put together a small artist kit for traveling, but I think it just has colored pencils in it. Ugh!
