in regards to the whole discussion on making art, something that really stuck with me is my aunt (who’s a professional artist who’s done many murals) describes it as “i like putting paint on things. if i get to put paint on something i’m happy”. and now every time i paint i think “damn, i also like putting paint on things. this rules”
thats really cute omg
It's giving bob ross
I love listening to Nathans voice, I would really enjoy a Nathan and Karina podcast
He just has a very "warm blanket and cocoa" kind of voice
@@PrimRooks exactly its so soft and gentle
You probably already know about this, but just in case you didn’t, Nathan did do a podcast a few years back with Caldwell. It’s called “What Should We Draw”.
@@samueldixon9028 I did not know that thanks for letting me know though, I often have drawfee stream vods on whilst I am falling asleep so maybe I will check it out. I just think Nathan and Karina have complementary voices that would work well on a chill podcast together
Ohhh I did not realize this was something I needed O: O: O:
dude draw class with nathan is so calming and meditative ❤
Maybe this sounds overdramatic but these streams really have a 'healing' quality... been having a very hard few years and as a result I'm completely out of practice with drawing and lost a lot of confidence. These streams (and Drawfee in general) help coax me into the right mindset to draw in a fun, loose, creative way like nothing else, and when I stick a drawclass on in the background I find myself suddenly motivated to pick up a pen and draw in a way I usually feel very inhibited from. Thanks for the wonderful vibes fellas :')
(also I'd take Drawfee 100% of the time over those endless videos like "10 things artists get WRONG" or "do THIS not THIS" or "NEVER draw like this again." Maybe they help someone but they're totally off-putting to me.)
Not over dramatic at all. Drawfee has healed and continues to heal and entertain us!!! Definitely helps my mental health a LOT.
big agree
Honestly, Nathan calm is it's own therapy. I'm glad he knows how much we all appreciate his presence.
Each drawfee member brings such a great element and they are all so different. I remember when Karina had her first episode and I was like... Oh she's so mousy and shy, the internet is going to tear her apart. I'm glad I was wrong about that! That and drawfee fans being one of the nicest communities goes to show how art brings us together.
I was hand sewing during this stream. You should do a really aggressive and hateful drawfee for April fool's, where you try your hardest to make the audience hate everything, you make only the smartest drawings smarter, and your not sorry about it 🥸🥸🥸
You might like my music mixing, it's the main thing I do to express how I'm feeling?
I think Nathan should do a whole series that's just this. Over and over. Talk us through a warm up while you doodle, tell us it's okay to suck. Legitimately better than therapy. ❤
Nathan! I just want to say that you running these classes with your desire to practice and learn and improve - not to mention the chill, positive vibe - has turned out to be really inspiring and helpful for me. I just became a TA for the 3D modeling department of an online school, and very soon I will be expected to run weekly video streams where I help and teach and hang out with students, and I am EXTEREMELY NERVOUS to attempt something like that.
I don't have a high level of confidence in my technical skills _or_ my social skills, but every time I start panicking that I have no idea what I'm going to do during these streams, I tell myself: "Be like Nathan! Run a chill, encouraging, informative stream like Nathan! That's what you would want from a video stream!" I'm hoping I can pull it off!
I don’t usually like life drawing, and yet, I found myself opening up line-of-action and filling up two big pages of studies. Thanks guys
I only vaguely draw as a hobby, but I watch all of the drawclasses because I love the vibes that all of the drawfee squad bring to the table
25:32 I usually use crayons when warming up with quick gestures because they’re nice and soft, but you still have to stick to your choices with them 😂
Karina's comment about style often coming down to proportions gave me a potential insight in your style, Nathan. I've noticed your arms and legs are often more meaty and/or muscular than those of the references. So part of your style could be barbarian/amazon-type body proportions?
Like, instead of treating those differences as mistakes, why not really go for it and emphasize those features? Personally, I find those big and strong proportions you draw very pleasing and empowering. And I'm sure more people will feel that way. Plus, judging by the way you draw when you're relaxed, and seeing the kind of references you pick, I suspect you're already drawn to these proportions instinctively.
Finally, some ideas for draw classes:
* have patrons suggest artists or properties (an animation, comic, game, etc), then explore any aspects of those you feel drawn to; for example, investigate linework, colour, shapes, proportions, etc
* Have patrons suggest a subject, then draw it in several different ways, again exploring a certain aspect of style
* I've noticed Jacob was very good at figuring out and verbalising little tricks he discovered, and Karina was talking about her 'hand butt' breakthrough; it could be super valuable to explore those recurring issues or points of improvements. You could explore different tips and tricks, and/or work through some trial and errors to see what kind of solutions and shortcuts you can come up with; this could also be something the two teachers could do together, learning from each other
* I came across a small but super good channel doing art lessons: Winged Canvas. Firstly, you could watch some of it to get inspired for new classes; but also, it would be amazing if you could have them on as guests for a draw class episode; especially Jessie would jive with you extremely well I feel; she's very funny and imaginative; she's also a wonderful teacher, and could surely help you with improving your classes even more if that's something you want
* I've noticed that some of you can draw and analyse/teach at the same time while others get kind of quiet while drawing; perhaps you can try to distribute the teaching and drawing between the two people doing the art class? Like one of you draws, and the other describes what's happening, notices patterns, and talks about what we can learn from it.

Could there be another draw class for color and lighting, especially how to effectively practice or get comfortable with going outside of your default in those areas? It's something I am really struggling especially with my slow switch towards digital art and I think those are features that come through so well in so many drawfee renders
Other thoughts I've had are drawclasses on ways to apply anatomy to less-straightforward things such as mechs, anthros, and things with non-human features (like 4 arms instead of 2); how to make characters relative to each other such that they are clearly supposed to fit the same world but be unique; and something with hinting at and drawing different textures like scales, fur, etc.
This was amazing, I sat down for two hours and practiced along with Nathan, and at the end of it I felt calm and productive
One thing that could replace drawclass, if they ever needed to, would be streaming while rendering art, and going over their process. I imagine they wouldn't want to show them rendering the pieces from main episodes - not without demanding a lot of trust from the patrons - but maybe they could add extra assets to episodes, giving the episodes more value but also giving a specific time in which to do this extra work. One option would be to go back to doing the speed drawing of them rendering a thematic mug that they used to do before every episode. But the could do anything
I've feeling so rusted for weeks, this helped a lot
thanks ♥
Joints are easy, it's just a tapered cylinder. The hard part is making the smoke look good.
lmao i scrolled away from this one, confused, and then i got it.
i’ve been learning to do more figure drawing and anatomy so this came at a perfect time
I truly enjoyed this drawing chilled out session. I really hope to get more. I feel like I’m drawing with buddies 💙
I saw the thumbnail, havent seen the video yet, and that's gotta be the weird birdmen from line of action right i see them all the time in my waking life in my dreams and nightmares
"It's late night somewhere"
IM LATE NIGHT!
this always helps me when im in a slump
I spent most of February struggling with health issues, so this is such perfect timing for some guided practice to get me back into things ❤
I just want to express how nice these practice streams are. It's really lovely to draw along and just vibe for a bit, and seeing other people practice is really motivating to go get off my ass and do the same. Also just like, y'all are good artists. It's really nice seeing you draw what you want. c:
If y'all ever want to do anything like that, it'd also be lovely to see you work on personal art, or just drawing whatever comes to mind. Though I do understand how burnout does tend to creep into all things monetised, so of course only at your own discretion. It's just lovely seeing you draw things that are outside of the cursed shit we, the fans, ask you to draw hahah (not that I don't love those, because I absolutely do lol).
Thank you for another great stream ^v^
I checked my discord, confused why I heard the sound but didn’t get a pop up.😅
Nathan using one of my fave Hulk variants in Snap XD
real bob ross vibes
OH HA KARINA JUST SAID THAT
This class was so wonderful! I love the combo of Nathan and Karina, such a chill vibe 😊
I had been postponing drawing for a while and this really put me in the mood, I can't believe how many little sketches I did and I'm pretty happy about them!
Managed to draw my first drawing in a long time while watching this, I'm very greatful to that.
It's not about win or lose, it's about the shapes we drew along the way :)
This is so relaxing! And full of good advice :)
I can't even draw a straight line and my best art is at the level of stick figures but it still watch these...
Am i weird and/or alone in this?
you're on the right track! a few years ago all I could do was stick figures, but just keep practicing and you'll get there :)
@@mangoalias608 Oh, haha, i am not an artist and i'm not aspiring to be one at all, i just like the friend noises that the Drawfee crew provides
Same here, art just fascinates me and the good friend talk ofc
Nope neither same xD
Draw Class Idea (specifically for Nathan) watch Planet Earth or National Geographic until the Bell rings
Yo I recognize the poses in the thumbnail
I really should watch these live because I have no clue what a thumb butt is
50:00 oh this is a fun pose
I know this is older content, but hopefully someone will still be perusing this. For the speed draws, should I be worrying more about getting the pose correct or getting the image on the page? Like, should I get the entire pose on the page, even if it's wrong, or just getting as much of the pose as I can do on the page?
But when are we going to practice drawing MerobibbaaA?
Am I the only one who finds Nathan's voice very quiet, and at some points fades out completely? This seems to happen a lot in drawclass videos.
(This was written before Nathan says to expect his videos to be "a little quieter", which is a heck of an understatement since I had to turn CC on for that)
Me never drawing:
Also me:👁👁
