[@qlab9227]

I really enjoyed your step-by-step drawing lesson. Patience seems to be the key
.

[@annewalsh2324]

awesome. micron pens literally get me the same happiness as when someone sees a puppy. i love them so much.
i feel like you should've mentioned where the "light source" in the drawing would be. i wasn't sure why the last body section had such white space until the camera pulled back.

[@manonguns4709]

So beautifully done!

Doing this is gonna BEE easy now,thank you!!

[@guyhiebert]

Great looking illustration. Is the image you are drawing come from a reference? If not then I agree with one of your commentors. The two legs at the bottom are in the wrong location. But I did get the point to your drawing

[@silkhenge]

[@taehwiniM]

in all insects all the legs are attached to the thorax, never on an abdomen

[@user-sp3pb5in9p]

True!!

[@AyaJuni]

I didn't know that

[@vidkidkev]

I stoped at 1:57 I was happy without coloring it , thx

[@nightwatch_07]

Do more pen and ink

[@raymundjoren9293]

wow!

[@Vic101able]

In the Bee ink drawing, isn't there a leg missing in the lower portion? Curious!

[@user-sp3pb5in9p]

Can you link the reference you used?

[@WaterhouseNow]

Yes. I’m curious what type of bee has legs attached at the abdomen, instead of thorax.

[@parmjeetparmjeet3390]

Good

[@sandradonofrio413]

I don’t understand the antenna. You missed talking about them. I also think the legs should all be from the same body section. I do like your technique with pen and ink. So, 🙏 thank you.

[@RandomYTUploadsHere]

Thorax leg???????

[@notbob365]

Who is here from art school

[@itsjonty201]

Meeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! slay! bombastic side eye

[@TomCarberry413]

Bees have all their legs on the thorax, none on the abdomen.

[@valcair]

Thanks! i was sure that was wrong. I'm pretty sure all insects have their legs on thorax. Besides, they're missing two legs.

[@alexiacarrasco9033]

IT IS STILL IMPORTANT to tell you how beautifully done it is and I'm sure it would be no problem for you to move one leg to another place in the drawing, thank you so much for this tutorial!

[@alan8679]

I have two questions. 1. Where is the stinger? 2. Is it a killer bee?

[@dianefrench8314]

I HIVE no drawing skills, but this made me BEElive in myself

[@user-sp3pb5in9p]

Did your drawing turn out good? :D

[@alvinjones670]

Phat

[@MrFartingGiraffe]

THORAX

[@provid3r716]

Yes because everybody who is watching this video will automatically draw worse when they don't know the right appellation

[@24British]

Thats a wasp isnt it?

[@safhoo786]

pooooooooooo not an easy video to follow:(

[@wlacking2714]

This was forced upon me, and it was not enjoyable. Maybe out of my own will it would have been.

[@jialei5512]

need to learn insect morphology, for better presentation.... That was not bee...

[@user-sp3pb5in9p]

What about this bee drawing isn’t a bee?

[@phill1420]

Great video!
