This is so awesome and crazy informative. I always found myself over complicating things when I did art, and your calm and relaxed approach is just...refreshing. Love all the sketches in this video, and I don't think any of us mind if you don't post just paintings, or just time lapse. Anything done by you is amazing. Please post again soon!
I also liked the last drawing the best. I surely don't mind you doing more drawings at all. Drawings, paintings, whatever you do, it's just nice to watch you work and hear you talk about the process.
I actually do not mind at all what you upload- painting, drawing, whatever it may be! I think everything you do is just absolutely amazing and so inspiring. Anything that you upload, I will enjoy and love to watch :) you are seriously such an inspiring person :)
I really enjoyed this drawing video and I would like those other kind of videos .I get bored of the same thing as well that's why I'm constantly switching up what medium's I use. Can't wait to see them
You are perfect, thank you for your existance and your inspirational abilities and for not exactly knowing me ans encouraging me into my recovery and art career you make this planet a little bit of a better place to live and thank you I love you.
I love your videos they inspire me in an amazing way and they are really fun to watch and getting to learn techniques thank you lena keep on and more oil painting videos♥
Jeez looeeez, you are so so freakin good... I just struggle & struggle with water... your work is 100%, but your humble heart is 10X more awesome... thanks fer the help you probly never even know you give!!! Wayne in VA
I love drawings and paintings and seeing other peoples processes for it. You seem fun and quirky so seeing more of your life would be fun. Also hope your family is doing well in the Ukraine, I have some family over there also so I know it isn't so good right now. Anyways you are adorable and love your stuff.
Don't mind the drawings at all Lena. That one was creepy cool! The tones being dark created a mood for that sketch but not like a morbid feeling so I think it worked out well.
Really looking forward to your draw my life video... I love all of your videos. you really got me inspired to start. Can you do a video on colored pencil sketches? I am experimenting with them lately and though I love painting sometimes it is hard to do with my busy life. I carry a bag of colored pencils and a sketch book in my purse so at least I can draw when I am on the go or on lunch break.
Since you are very good at composition, you should experiment using "Golden ratio/number"(just suggesting). Who knows your painting become awesome and interesting.
I love your art, your videos showing you creating this art, I love everything about painting and drawong. I didn't know there were any art youtubers (if that makes sense) and itntruly inspires me to draw, but I can't, I try every so often. Maybe you'll see this, but it's likely you won't, I'm wondering how you started art, was it from a young age or something you liked and picked up and truly got into it? Just curious.
are these water scene done w a photo as a reference point or are these all freestyle? I'm a beginner don't get out much looking for live subjects. I like to learn to draw a scene like that girl in water. Can you give more tutorial w details instructions to follow and draw besides me just watching. This video was amazing and subject is unclutter. Keep posting more I'm earger to learn.
Lena, you said you might turn these into paintings. I noticed that your new watercolor painting looks very similar to the last pencil drawing you did in the video :)
Hi Lena just wanted to let you know what an amazing talent and personality you have I'm an aspiring artist and honestly it would mean the world to me if you replied!!!😊😊
Really nice!! How you can even draw water that realistic! If you use it for your painting, are you going to paint over the drawing with colour? Or do you start from scratch again?
rtcmanga Paper also isn't a good medium for painting. It's best to use either a canvas or special paper for painting, for example there's special paper which is thicker than regular paper for water colours. If you have an idea for a painting it's always better to sketch it out first so you have a better vision of where everything should go.
rtcmanga Yeah, a drawing upfront :) I always sketch out a few ideas on paper to see what I like best, and like I said, to get a better vision of where I want everything to go. Then when I'm satisfied with how it looks, I make a very thin outlining on my canvas and start painting! Good luck and have fun!
I don't understand why "highly educated" artist say that using your finger, blending stubs, paper towels or a brush to blend or tone your drawings is a amiture move. As long as it looks nice and appealing and lasts for a long time who cares? Just incase you're wondering, they consider using cross-hatching more professional or whatever. Looks good for only a certain style in my opinion though...
I find it weird how you and some artists don't draw out a basic form (the ones that Vilppu recommends you do) before you go into the details. I know every artist does things differently but still, not something I see a lot of.
I think this is the best video on youtube for drawing water and it wasn't even a tutorial. Keep up the good work it was a big help.

Really looking forward to your draw my life video... I love all of your videos. you really got me inspired to start. Can you do a video on colored pencil sketches?

Nice work,... Do you use reference material for these , or is this just out of your head?,... Either way your awsome
Hi Lena!!
are these water scene done w a photo as a reference point or are these all freestyle? I'm a beginner don't get out much looking for live subjects. I like to learn to draw a scene like that girl in water. Can you give more tutorial w details instructions to follow and draw besides me just watching.

U r a grate artist
Lena, you said you might turn these into paintings. I noticed that your new watercolor painting looks very similar to the last pencil drawing you did in the video :)
I'm sorry if you've already heard this, but Q-tips work really well as blending tools. :3
Dear Lena could you please write down which pencils you’ve used. Thank you.
Really appreciate your work
Beautiful :)
:)
Im your no.1 fan lena =)
Good draw. I am very far from such a result
Are there any specific pencils that u should use for sketching and drawing?
💜
I like the creepy one :3
Hi Lena just wanted to let you know what an amazing talent and personality you have I'm an aspiring artist and honestly it would mean the world to me if you replied!!!😊😊
Thanks :D

Lol... VIVA LA RESISTANCE!
ayy the first drawing did end up turning into a painting!
Really nice!! How you can even draw water that realistic! If you use it for your painting, are you going to paint over the drawing with colour? Or do you start from scratch again?
uh she defs do from scratch cuz paper is too small and bad for painting
IcyPineappleSundae Oh, ok yes!! Thank you!! The paper is indeed to small for a brush, I didn't think about it! ;) Thanks for the answer!
rtcmanga Paper also isn't a good medium for painting. It's best to use either a canvas or special paper for painting, for example there's special paper which is thicker than regular paper for water colours. If you have an idea for a painting it's always better to sketch it out first so you have a better vision of where everything should go.
Julia Olivero Thank you so much!! Yes, a canvas sounds good! You mean sketch it out on the canvas with a pencil. Or do you mean the drawing upfront?
rtcmanga Yeah, a drawing upfront :) I always sketch out a few ideas on paper to see what I like best, and like I said, to get a better vision of where I want everything to go. Then when I'm satisfied with how it looks, I make a very thin outlining on my canvas and start painting! Good luck and have fun!
i will love it if you draw more...;)

I find it weird how you and some artists don't draw out a basic form (the ones that Vilppu recommends you do) before you go into the details. I know every artist does things differently but still, not something I see a lot of.
I can't even draw bottled water. . .
I can't even draw a tree or a stick figure lol
