it could be fun to make a book where each page is a different bunch of bugs in your simplified style, ants, bees, worms, butterflies, lady bugs, spiders, etc. in their respective environments 🐝
yeah! it could be a wheres waldo style book with bugs, or she could make cute little mini stories for each bug and at the end have them all get together or something
Aw, I love the bees! To be honest... *makes sure no one's looking*... this is one of my favorites from you. THERE I SAID IT! But I love the ants too, hopefully they can coincide peacefully... unless... maybe there will be a war!? ground troops vs air force!😱
I thought the branch was a propellor, and that was how you incorporated the helicopter! That would have been cute, but to be honest the bees just give me life. I always liked the ants, but the bees are just adorable. #teambee
Not to discredit all your effort and work you put into the slam challenge but it seems sort of counter productive in a way? The work you put out is still really awesome don't get me wrong but I dont want you to feel burnt out because of a challenge that seems really risky? Take care and I hope you can finish the challenge with minimal damage
Tama Kitsune i don't know if it is counterproductive. I actually really like the last two prompts that she did. I thinks you can see a lot of improvement!
You can tape it down with masking tape/painters tape and it till minimize the warping, but it will decrease your overall area. You wouldn’t be able to draw to the edge like Kasey did in this drawing!
Kasey Golden thanks for the reply! One more question: I wanted to start selling originals but I feel like mine got too warped for selling, how do you present them for selling? I use a 140lb cold press watercolor paper.
In my experience most warping with watercolor paper can simply be fixed by letting the art sit under a heavy thicker book. Although it's not very professional and it's not a 100% fix it does help a little.
My reaction to the title: *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!*
I really enjoy watching a little bit of real time because I used to get really impatient with myself that I was really slow at finishing a piece, but when I see a professional illustrator like yourself taking your time on every brush stroke it reminds me that I need to slow down and not rush things.
I adore bees, and how many different colorations there are out there. No matter what bug you want to draw, I'm here for it. There are so, so many, not to mention the endless amounts of imagination insects you might come up with.
Hi Kasey, I've just discovered you a couple of days ago and I must say I am so thankful. You've taught me a lot, just watching you over and over and over again. I'm learning about shadows and colour palettes and inking and sketching. I must say, I like your slowing things down now and then as it makes you more... approachable... I am often wowed by people who ink their work so quickly! #inspired.
I really love the new way you edit. I find it really interesting to see how other artists hold their hand and how fast they draw and you can't really see that with speedpaints.
I am a big fan of this one! I love your color choices, like the honey colored hive, and blue tinted wings. I also love how you did the broken lines and patches of color underneath the wings to show how they’re partially clear. As I was watching it, I was thinking it needed a sky blue background, but that it would take away from the wings blue tint, but your awesome frame breaking idea is a genius solution. I love this one. Good job on making it to 50 Kasey! :D Have a nice day.
#NotificationSquad💙 Also, I love your art and because of you I actually bought my own 500 drawing prompt book, and I am loving it!! Thanks for being a huge inspiration❤️
I love the bee who is screaming through the window, they are so cute! You should do a illustration of a war between bees and ants, that would be cool. ( sorry for my bad English )
I just wanted to let you know that your English is great! The only thing is use 'an' instead of 'a' when the word starts with a vowel (but that's a common mistake for everyone) :)
I love how the real-time speed looks when blacking the lines, but when you paint the watercolor slow it makes me anxious because I’m terrified you will paint outside the lines (I’m such a perfectionist). Even though it still looks perfect when you paint a little outside. Either way, love your videos!!!
Definitely one of my favorite illustrations so far!! 😍😍 I was actually planning on complimenting your speed editing before you said anything about it. 🤣 I really liked this method!!
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Coming! Hang on a second. Hello? Barry? Adam? Can you believe this is happening? I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs, Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. You got lint on your fuzz. Ow! That's me! Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! Hey, Adam. Hey, Barry. Is that fuzz gel? A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around The Hive. You did come back different. Hi, Barry. Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. Hear about Frankie? Yeah. You going to the funeral? No, I'm not going. Everybody knows, sting someone, you die. Don't waste it on a squirrel. Such a hothead. I guess he could have just gotten out of the way. I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day. That's why we don't need vacations. Boy, quite a bit of pomp under the circumstances. Well, Adam, today we are men. We are! Bee-men. Amen! Hallelujah! Students, faculty, distinguished bees, please welcome Dean Buzzwell. Welcome, New Hive City graduating class of 9:15. That concludes our ceremonies And begins your career at Honex Industries! Will we pick our job today? I heard it's just orientation. Heads up! Here we go. Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times. Wonder what it'll be like? A little scary. Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group. This is it! Wow. Wow. We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life. Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to The Hive. Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey! That girl was hot. She's my cousin! She is? Yes, we're all cousins. Right. You're right. At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence. These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology. What do you think he makes? Not enough. Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman. What does that do? Catches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it. Saves us millions. Can anyone work on the Krelman? Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones. But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot. But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life. The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that. What's the difference? You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years. So you'll just work us to death? We'll sure try. Wow! That blew my mind! "What's the difference?" How can you say that? One job forever? That's an insane choice to have to make. I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life. But, Adam, how could they never have told us that? Why would you question anything? We're bees. We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth. You ever think maybe things work a little too well here? Like what? Give me one example. I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about. Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach. Wait a second. Check it out. Hey, those are Pollen Jocks! Wow. I've never seen them this close. They know what it's like outside The Hive. Yeah, but some don't come back. Hey, Jocks! Hi, Jocks! You guys did great! You're monsters! You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it! I wonder where they were. I don't know. Their day's not planned. Outside The Hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what. You can't just decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that. Right. Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime. It's just a status symbol. Bees make too much of it. Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it. Those ladies? Aren't they our cousins too? Distant. Distant. Look at these two. Couple of Hive Harrys. Let's have fun with them. It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock. Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom! He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me! Oh, my! I never thought I'd knock him out. What were you doing during this? Trying to alert the authorities. I can autograph that. A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades? Yeah. Gusty. We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow. Six miles, huh? Barry! A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it. Maybe I am. You are not! We're going 0900 at J-Gate. What do you think, buzzy-boy? Are you bee enough? I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means. Hey, Honex! Dad, you surprised me. You decide what you're interested in? Well, there's a lot of choices. But you only get one. Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day? Son, let me tell you about stirring. You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around. You get yourself into a rhythm. It's a beautiful thing. You know, Dad, the more I think about it, maybe the honey field just isn't right for me. You were thinking of what, making balloon animals? That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger. Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey! Barry, you are so funny sometimes. I'm not trying to be funny. You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer! You're gonna be a stirrer? No one's listening to me! Wait till you see the sticks I have. I could say anything right now. I'm gonna get an ant tattoo! Let's open some honey and celebrate! Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"! I'm so proud. We're starting work today! Today's the day. Come on! All the good jobs will be gone. Yeah, right. Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal... Is it still available? Hang on. Two left! One of them's yours! Congratulations! Step to the side. What'd you get? Picking crud out. Stellar! Wow! Couple of newbies? Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready! Make your choice. You want to go first? No, you go. Oh, my. What's available? Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think. Any chance of getting the Krelman? Sure, you're on. I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out. Wax monkey's always open. The Krelman opened up again. What happened? A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one. Deady. Deadified. Two more dead. Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life! Oh, this is so hard! Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler. Barry, what do you think I should... Barry? Barry! All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine... What happened to you? Where are you? I'm going out. Out? Out where? Out there. Oh, no! I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life. You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello? Another call coming in. If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today. Hey, guys. Look at that. Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday? Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted. It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up. Really? Feeling lucky, are you? Sign here, here. Just initial that. Thank you. OK. You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain. So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats. Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us. Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada! That's awful. And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans! All right, launch positions! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Black and yellow! Hello! You ready for this, hot shot? Yeah. Yeah, bring it on. Wind, check. Antennae, check. Nectar pack, check. Wings, check. Stinger, check. Scared out of my shorts, check. OK, ladies, let's move it out! Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers! All of you, drain those flowers! Wow! I'm out! I can't believe I'm out! So blue. I feel so fast and free! Box kite! Wow! Flowers! This is Blue Leader, We have roses visual. Bring it around 30 degrees and hold. Roses! 30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around. Stand to the side, kid. It's got a bit of a kick. That is one nectar collector! Ever see pollination up close? No, sir. I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one. See that? It's a little bit of magic. That's amazing. Why do we do that? That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us. Cool. I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow, Could be daisies, Don't we need those? Copy that visual. Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move. Say again? You're reporting a moving flower? Affirmative. That was on the line! This is the coolest. What is it? I don't know, but I'm loving this color. It smells good. Not like a flower, but I like it. Yeah, fuzzy.
i really like how you did the crowded bug piece on the "soup, camera" illustration. it brings more variety with the differences of bug sizes and colours ^^
For all you people who think that the bees are cuter than the ants- Don’t bee*tray the ants! C*ant you see the ants are cuter?! Sorry, it just really *bugs* me...
Maybe after the sketchbook slam challenge when you have more energy, you could make a mixed piece with bees and ants together. OHH MAYBE AN AIRPORT!! WITH BEES AND ANTS TRAVELLING (or a train station/ port- anything that has bees and ants travelling around saying farewell to loved ones, picking up family members etc etc!)
Oooh I do love the colours on this one! I'm a sucker for all things orangy yellow, and the dorky bees are just awesome! Have you ever considered doing t-shirts with your little insect designs? That would be so cute!
I like this editing style, often I get caught up in thinking people I admire just draw fast even though I know they speed up the video, but slowing it down reminds me "take your time" IDK if that makes sense but ye i like it
I just found this series 2 days ago and I've already watched all 50 parts so far. What's wrong with me? xD I love 500 prompts videos. It's really fun to see how many great ideas for drawings you have. Keep going
I don’t know why, but when you mentioned drawing different kinds of bugs all I could think of was what would your version of worms look like and how you could turn that into an illustration. I couldn’t stop laughing at this idea of derpy little worms living their little wormy lives
I like the idea (simplicity could never go wrong imo), but when I saw the prompt I instantly thought of a beehive with helicopter wings on it honestly would love to see how that would've turned out in your style anyway, amazing work as usual, and good luck with everything
Tape peeling is so much more satisfying closeup, with sound. BUT OMG YOUR BEE'S ARE SO FREAKING CUTE! I am not an ant person, even tho your ants are much more preferred than the ones that crawl through my garden, but bee's are just cute as hell, and your's look super adorable and I definitely want to see more of them :)
These bees are so cute omg. You could made bees in space! :O Sorry - I have a huge love for galaxy and space related things.. But yes, definitely draw them more and definitely incorporate some more bugs because they are pretty cute in your style!
Maybe you could make an art piece of ants and bees having a war! Or simply just combine the two in a drawing? But all different kinds of bugs sounds super cool!
I really like seeing some parts in real-time to give it all context. I think sometimes I'm so used to see things sped up, that I think people actually draw really fast... but then in real-time I see it's a lot slower than I thought!
they are both so wonderful! the bees are super adorable and the ants are great! i would love to see you work on some bees pieces but your ants will always me my favorite, keep up the awesome work Kasey
the real time helps give reality to ur videos its very inspiring seeing u work. sometime people forget that peices take hours to finish I love u keep it up
For a second I thought that a beehive helicopter would be rad too... This illustration is pretty neat and cool! (Also I like how you're experimenting with more bugs.. Keep at it XD) Keep being awesome! Have a great day!
I like this editing style better than the last one...instead of jumping around it was more smooth. I like seeing some real time stuff in there but it gets boring after a while. Super cute bees!!!!!!!! :D
I think it’s most enjoyable when you do real time when u are in the painting phase. I think a way to enhance it would be to get some close ups of the water and paint being layed on the paper.
I am still voting for the Kasey Golden Insect Book! Ants, Bee's, and other assorted insectivore! Maybe like you say , . . . On Cactus, in town or even on a horse!
I thought you had put helicopter wings on the hive until you painting the branch brown - apparently I have an overactive imagination! 😂😂😂 This is super cute - I love breaking the frame, too! It looks fantastic 💕
I'm into both the bees and ants. I hope you can go back and forth in drawing them and one day put them together for a huge art piece. However, I too am worried about your burn out. The sketchbook slam challenge is a great idea, but I hope you are still taking care of yourself mentally and physically. I look forward to seeing your next post :)
Before you colored it, i thought the branch was supposed to be a propeller! A floating bee hive that goes around the world and pollinates everywhere would've been really cool.
I love this one it's so adorable! keep both the ants and the bees! or make un illustration that has both of them I think that would be cool! keep up your amazing work!
I love the bees!! I really love how they look, their little oval bodies are really cute, and the design is simple, but not the generic bee design. but, I do got one thing to say: the wings are way too big. the ones upright in the air look like fat butterflies (which is also cute!) but other than that? adorable. i can't wait to see an ant riding on the back of a bee.
If you say, "I don't know," one more time, I'm calling the ant police! 😋 I love this illustration! Maybe one day you'll have a book showing the life of different bugs. Like, a bee apartment, a slug party, an ant firestation, a mosquito blood bank, etc.
This reminds me of the bowl and camera ant illustration. Like the way you "hid" the helicopter. I think you should mix the bees and ants with other bugs
Ahhh, I'm sorry for being so negative! I said I liked the result but kept saying... I wasn't?!
I'm hopeless, haha.
Kasey Golden Hi! I really love your art style :)
Kasey Golden i love your art
Kasey Golden your so talented 🙀
I love the illustration Kaseyyy
Kasey Golden please tell me from where did you buy the 500 Pumps book?
Kasey: *makes bees instead*
Me: STRIPEY ANTS
😂😂facts
Koriand'r Of The Stars lol
-rip ants... [*]- im waiting, hun.
or flying ants wearing striped sweaters
XD LOL
I don't care wether you draw Bees or wether you draw Ants.
I just want you to BEE happy.
SylenDraws I see you in the comments of almost every video I watch lol
Why. Why are you everywhere?
SylenDraws nice.
Let's LEAF the choice to GROW and hope the answer won't STING
(but seriously I hope they do both,there adorable 😄)
WHY DO I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE??
How dare you. I trusted you. *WE* trusted you. How you abandon your ant colony.
Please forgive me!
Kasey Golden NEVER! Jk its all good with me my dude.
Evelyn P Nguyen Maybe the ants and the bees are allies?
it could be fun to make a book where each page is a different bunch of bugs in your simplified style, ants, bees, worms, butterflies, lady bugs, spiders, etc. in their respective environments 🐝
yeahhh!
yeah! it could be a wheres waldo style book with bugs, or she could make cute little mini stories for each bug and at the end have them all get together or something
I'd love to see jumping spiders
Bees vs. Ants turf war??? That would be funny
Why did I think of Ants and Bees playing Splatoon?
Aw, I love the bees! To be honest... *makes sure no one's looking*... this is one of my favorites from you.
THERE I SAID IT!
But I love the ants too, hopefully they can coincide peacefully... unless... maybe there will be a war!? ground troops vs air force!😱
WOW! Did everyone hear that?! This is Zaccura's favorite!!
Oh no! Hush hush!! The hardcore ant fans will eat me alive!!
Love your idea
Zaccura that's such a cool Idea

YOU CAN DO A WOMBO COMBO AND PUT ANTS/BEES TOGETHER LIKE BUGS LIFE *im sorry I'm just excited*
I just thought of mosquitoes! Like the one in the city ally way! :D
AZ_Cabbage yass
WoMbO cOmBo
I swear if you do Kasey
Edit: #dontreplacetheants
I thought the branch was a propellor, and that was how you incorporated the helicopter! That would have been cute, but to be honest the bees just give me life. I always liked the ants, but the bees are just adorable. #teambee
I think think bees are cuter than the ants
GASP!
Kasey Golden I'm sorry!! :P
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Maria Arbona thats what i thought throughout the video😅
What r think bees?
Hello.
I like the bees.
Do you also like *J A Z Z* ?
Glad to hear it!
We are glad that you don't despise our community.
When I saw the tittle I was actually scared! I thought you were never gonna draw ants again 😰
Awh Kasey liked my comment :P
Kasey is the ant queen if she gives them up her whole kingdom will fall !!! They need her !!
Aribo0 yeah! But then, she will be QUEEN BEE!!! Oh gosh I like the name Queen Bee. Then we’ll be Kasey’s little bees 🐝
Yes the tittle.
Tit-ul
Boobies
Bees: The country.
Ants: The busy city
Fleas: The wild west? (Taming animals... Or eating their blood mwuhaha >:3)
I would love to see different bugs in that style~
Not to discredit all your effort and work you put into the slam challenge but it seems sort of counter productive in a way? The work you put out is still really awesome don't get me wrong but I dont want you to feel burnt out because of a challenge that seems really risky? Take care and I hope you can finish the challenge with minimal damage
Tama Kitsune i don't know if it is counterproductive. I actually really like the last two prompts that she did. I thinks you can see a lot of improvement!
sure but you can improve without mentally draining yourself and feeling guilty and burnt out ^^
Tama Kitsune Well yeah i totally agree with that!
It’s really not much different from being in school.
What if we just agree that Kasey Golden is the bug Queen and has an equal love for all her little servants?
How dare you. THE ANTS ARE SACRED. I'm just kidding love the art Kasey!
"Ya like jazz?"
Omg I’m doing three things at once...
1: watching stuff
2: rewriting homework
3: petting my puppy
Aly Smoothiepup Wow you’re SO AMAZING! *sarcasm*
Hahaha, suffer I see you a lot over all the comments. Seems you never use sarcasm, what a trick you got going on. That isn't actually annoying at all
Wolfy Artist you don’t say?
Aly Smoothiepup MULTI TASKInG
How do you keep your image from warping? Even when I paint on watercolor paper, my paper gets a little warped from all the water.
It warps! Not much, but it does. Make sure you are using a heavier watercolor paper.
You can tape it down with masking tape/painters tape and it till minimize the warping, but it will decrease your overall area. You wouldn’t be able to draw to the edge like Kasey did in this drawing!
Just got to the painters tape part 😂 I should stop commenting before completely watching 😂
Kasey Golden thanks for the reply! One more question: I wanted to start selling originals but I feel like mine got too warped for selling, how do you present them for selling? I use a 140lb cold press watercolor paper.
In my experience most warping with watercolor paper can simply be fixed by letting the art sit under a heavy thicker book. Although it's not very professional and it's not a 100% fix it does help a little.

That bee drawing is so cute! I think you should draw more bees, and I also like the mixed speed and real time editing style. 😀
Since you do 2 or 3 prompts per page depending on what it is, doesnt that mean you will only do around 230-250 episodes?
236 to be exact!
Kasey Golden whooaa
Actually it’s 1 to 4 prompts sorry I had to say that it was annoying me
I really enjoy watching a little bit of real time because I used to get really impatient with myself that I was really slow at finishing a piece, but when I see a professional illustrator like yourself taking your time on every brush stroke it reminds me that I need to slow down and not rush things.
You should create a drawing with the ants hosting a party with all the other bugs!
I adore bees, and how many different colorations there are out there. No matter what bug you want to draw, I'm here for it. There are so, so many, not to mention the endless amounts of imagination insects you might come up with.
The bees are so cute in your style😍

I'm learning about shadows and colour palettes and inking and sketching. I must say, I like your slowing things down now and then as it makes you more... approachable...

I really love the new way you edit. I find it really interesting to see how other artists hold their hand and how fast they draw and you can't really see that with speedpaints.
Kasey you should make an ant illustration in the ant hill with the queen ant! Because then you can make them underground too!
I am a big fan of this one! I love your color choices, like the honey colored hive, and blue tinted wings. I also love how you did the broken lines and patches of color underneath the wings to show how they’re partially clear. As I was watching it, I was thinking it needed a sky blue background, but that it would take away from the wings blue tint, but your awesome frame breaking idea is a genius solution. I love this one. Good job on making it to 50 Kasey! :D Have a nice day.
Pleasseeeee do a drawing of bee Vs ants 🐜🐝❤️❔‼️‼️‼️
I love the bees! They're so round and cute! Please draw them more.
#NotificationSquad💙
Also, I love your art and because of you I actually bought my own 500 drawing prompt book, and I am loving it!! Thanks for being a huge inspiration❤️
I love the bee who is screaming through the window, they are so cute!
You should do a illustration of a war between bees and ants, that would be cool. ( sorry for my bad English )
I just wanted to let you know that your English is great! The only thing is use 'an' instead of 'a' when the word starts with a vowel (but that's a common mistake for everyone) :)
Another prompt during the sketchbook slam challenge Kasey keep up the good work but don't strain yourself! -Khloe
I love how the real-time speed looks when blacking the lines, but when you paint the watercolor slow it makes me anxious because I’m terrified you will paint outside the lines (I’m such a perfectionist). Even though it still looks perfect when you paint a little outside.
Either way, love your videos!!!
Ants vs Bees?
Definitely one of my favorite illustrations so far!! 😍😍
I was actually planning on complimenting your speed editing before you said anything about it. 🤣
I really liked this method!!
No more ants??? Awww!
You need to make a book like where’s Wally but filled with your signature characters! I would buy it without a doubt!❤️❤️❤️
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Coming!
Hang on a second.
Hello?
Barry?
Adam?
Can you believe this is happening?
I can't.
I'll pick you up.
Looking sharp.
Use the stairs, Your father paid good money for those.
Sorry. I'm excited.
Here's the graduate.
We're very proud of you, son.
A perfect report card, all B's.
Very proud.
Ma! I got a thing going here.
You got lint on your fuzz.
Ow! That's me!
Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000.
Bye!
Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house!
Hey, Adam.
Hey, Barry.
Is that fuzz gel?
A little. Special day, graduation.
Never thought I'd make it.
Three days grade school, three days high school.
Those were awkward.
Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around The Hive.
You did come back different.
Hi, Barry. Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
Hear about Frankie?
Yeah.
You going to the funeral?
No, I'm not going.
Everybody knows, sting someone, you die.
Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.
I guess he could have just gotten out of the way.
I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day.
That's why we don't need vacations.
Boy, quite a bit of pomp under the circumstances.
Well, Adam, today we are men.
We are!
Bee-men.
Amen!
Hallelujah!
Students, faculty, distinguished bees,
please welcome Dean Buzzwell.
Welcome, New Hive City graduating class of 9:15.
That concludes our ceremonies And begins your career at Honex Industries!
Will we pick our job today?
I heard it's just orientation.
Heads up! Here we go.
Keep your hands and antennas inside the tram at all times.
Wonder what it'll be like?
A little scary.
Welcome to Honex, a division of Honesco and a part of the Hexagon Group.
This is it!
Wow.
Wow.
We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life.
Honey begins when our valiant Pollen Jocks bring the nectar to The Hive.
Our top-secret formula is automatically color-corrected, scent-adjusted and bubble-contoured into this soothing sweet syrup with its distinctive golden glow you know as... Honey!
That girl was hot.
She's my cousin!
She is?
Yes, we're all cousins.
Right. You're right.
At Honex, we constantly strive to improve every aspect of bee existence.
These bees are stress-testing a new helmet technology.
What do you think he makes?
Not enough.
Here we have our latest advancement, the Krelman.
What does that do?
Catches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.
Can anyone work on the Krelman?
Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones.
But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot.
But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life.
The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that.
What's the difference?
You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years.
So you'll just work us to death?
We'll sure try.
Wow! That blew my mind!
"What's the difference?"
How can you say that?
One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.
I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life.
But, Adam, how could they never have told us that?
Why would you question anything? We're bees.
We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth.
You ever think maybe things work a little too well here?
Like what? Give me one example.
I don't know. But you know what I'm talking about.
Please clear the gate. Royal Nectar Force on approach.
Wait a second. Check it out.
Hey, those are Pollen Jocks!
Wow.
I've never seen them this close.
They know what it's like outside The Hive.
Yeah, but some don't come back.
Hey, Jocks!
Hi, Jocks!
You guys did great!
You're monsters!
You're sky freaks! I love it! I love it!
I wonder where they were.
I don't know.
Their day's not planned.
Outside The Hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what.
You can't just decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that.
Right.
Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime.
It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it.
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it.
Those ladies?
Aren't they our cousins too?
Distant. Distant.
Look at these two.
Couple of Hive Harrys.
Let's have fun with them.
It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock.
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom!
He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me!
Oh, my!
I never thought I'd knock him out.
What were you doing during this?
Trying to alert the authorities.
I can autograph that.
A little gusty out there today, wasn't it, comrades?
Yeah. Gusty.
We're hitting a sunflower patch six miles from here tomorrow.
Six miles, huh?
Barry!
A puddle jump for us, but maybe you're not up for it.
Maybe I am.
You are not!
We're going 0900 at J-Gate.
What do you think, buzzy-boy?
Are you bee enough?
I might be. It all depends on what 0900 means.
Hey, Honex!
Dad, you surprised me.
You decide what you're interested in?
Well, there's a lot of choices.
But you only get one.
Do you ever get bored doing the same job every day?
Son, let me tell you about stirring.
You grab that stick, and you just move it around, and you stir it around.
You get yourself into a rhythm.
It's a beautiful thing.
You know, Dad, the more I think about it,
maybe the honey field just isn't right for me.
You were thinking of what, making balloon animals?
That's a bad job for a guy with a stinger.
Janet, your son's not sure he wants to go into honey!
Barry, you are so funny sometimes.
I'm not trying to be funny.
You're not funny! You're going into honey. Our son, the stirrer!
You're gonna be a stirrer?
No one's listening to me!
Wait till you see the sticks I have.
I could say anything right now.
I'm gonna get an ant tattoo!
Let's open some honey and celebrate!
Maybe I'll pierce my thorax. Shave my antennae. Shack up with a grasshopper. Get a gold tooth and call everybody "dawg"!
I'm so proud.
We're starting work today!
Today's the day.
Come on! All the good jobs will be gone.
Yeah, right.
Pollen counting, stunt bee, pouring, stirrer, front desk, hair removal...
Is it still available?
Hang on. Two left!
One of them's yours! Congratulations!
Step to the side.
What'd you get?
Picking crud out. Stellar!
Wow!
Couple of newbies?
Yes, sir! Our first day! We are ready!
Make your choice.
You want to go first?
No, you go.
Oh, my. What's available?
Restroom attendant's open, not for the reason you think.
Any chance of getting the Krelman?
Sure, you're on.
I'm sorry, the Krelman just closed out.
Wax monkey's always open.
The Krelman opened up again.
What happened?
A bee died. Makes an opening. See? He's dead. Another dead one.
Deady. Deadified. Two more dead.
Dead from the neck up. Dead from the neck down. That's life!
Oh, this is so hard!
Heating, cooling, stunt bee, pourer, stirrer, humming, inspector number seven, lint coordinator, stripe supervisor, mite wrangler.
Barry, what do you think I should... Barry?
Barry!
All right, we've got the sunflower patch in quadrant nine...
What happened to you?
Where are you?
I'm going out.
Out? Out where?
Out there.
Oh, no!
I have to, before I go to work for the rest of my life.
You're gonna die! You're crazy! Hello?
Another call coming in.
If anyone's feeling brave, there's a Korean deli on 83rd that gets their roses today.
Hey, guys.
Look at that.
Isn't that the kid we saw yesterday?
Hold it, son, flight deck's restricted.
It's OK, Lou. We're gonna take him up.
Really? Feeling lucky, are you?
Sign here, here. Just initial that.
Thank you.
OK.
You got a rain advisory today, and as you all know, bees cannot fly in rain.
So be careful. As always, watch your brooms, hockey sticks, dogs, birds, bears and bats.
Also, I got a couple of reports of root beer being poured on us.
Murphy's in a home because of it, babbling like a cicada!
That's awful.
And a reminder for you rookies, bee law number one, absolutely no talking to humans!
All right, launch positions!
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
Black and yellow!
Hello!
You ready for this, hot shot?
Yeah. Yeah, bring it on.
Wind, check.
Antennae, check.
Nectar pack, check.
Wings, check.
Stinger, check.
Scared out of my shorts, check.
OK, ladies,
let's move it out!
Pound those petunias, you striped stem-suckers!
All of you, drain those flowers!
Wow! I'm out!
I can't believe I'm out!
So blue.
I feel so fast and free!
Box kite!
Wow!
Flowers!
This is Blue Leader, We have roses visual.
Bring it around 30 degrees and hold.
Roses!
30 degrees, roger. Bringing it around.
Stand to the side, kid.
It's got a bit of a kick.
That is one nectar collector!
Ever see pollination up close?
No, sir.
I pick up some pollen here, sprinkle it over here. Maybe a dash over there, a pinch on that one.
See that? It's a little bit of magic.
That's amazing. Why do we do that?
That's pollen power. More pollen, more flowers, more nectar, more honey for us.
Cool.
I'm picking up a lot of bright yellow, Could be daisies, Don't we need those?
Copy that visual.
Wait. One of these flowers seems to be on the move.
Say again? You're reporting a moving flower?
Affirmative.
That was on the line!
This is the coolest. What is it?
I don't know, but I'm loving this color.
It smells good.
Not like a flower, but I like it.
Yeah, fuzzy.
Oddi-Bun beautiful
I watched this with my step sis and she loved it! Thank you for making such good and quality art that is friendly for kids under age 💜
Are you an artist?
Asking the real questions. Good work, Sherlock.
Thanks
anyone who draws is an artist
Do you think I am? 🤔
I do
i really like how you did the crowded bug piece on the "soup, camera" illustration. it brings more variety with the differences of bug sizes and colours ^^
For all you people who think that the bees are cuter than the ants- Don’t bee*tray the ants! C*ant you see the ants are cuter?! Sorry, it just really *bugs* me...
I love the idea of mixing in new bugs into the ant illustrations. the bees are freaking awesome.
Love it!!!!
I love the room designs, the small creatures and buildings you make. They're so cute!
the bees make me happy
I absolutely love this. It's adorable and I love how clean your style is. Keep up the good work! :)
My spirt animal is a llama and kasey spirt animal is ants and bees
Maybe after the sketchbook slam challenge when you have more energy, you could make a mixed piece with bees and ants together. OHH MAYBE AN AIRPORT!! WITH BEES AND ANTS TRAVELLING (or a train station/ port- anything that has bees and ants travelling around saying farewell to loved ones, picking up family members etc etc!)
_Im sorry...but i don't realy like the bees :/_
No need to apologize!
Ahh :3 LOVE THE VIDEOS GREETINGS FROM BELGIUM
_O h n o_
Why won't you love uuuuuussssssss
Sowy bee
Oooh I do love the colours on this one! I'm a sucker for all things orangy yellow, and the dorky bees are just awesome!
Have you ever considered doing t-shirts with your little insect designs? That would be so cute!
I like this editing style, often I get caught up in thinking people I admire just draw fast even though I know they speed up the video, but slowing it down reminds me "take your time" IDK if that makes sense but ye i like it
I just found this series 2 days ago and I've already watched all 50 parts so far. What's wrong with me? xD I love 500 prompts videos. It's really fun to see how many great ideas for drawings you have. Keep going
I don’t know why, but when you mentioned drawing different kinds of bugs all I could think of was what would your version of worms look like and how you could turn that into an illustration. I couldn’t stop laughing at this idea of derpy little worms living their little wormy lives
I really enjoy the real-time bits in the editing. That's something I've been doing in my videos lately too.
I love the idea of the ants dressing up! if you make a children's book, you could say the ants have to dress up in different situations!
I like the idea (simplicity could never go wrong imo), but when I saw the prompt I instantly thought of a beehive with helicopter wings on it
honestly would love to see how that would've turned out in your style
anyway, amazing work as usual, and good luck with everything
Tape peeling is so much more satisfying closeup, with sound. BUT OMG YOUR BEE'S ARE SO FREAKING CUTE! I am not an ant person, even tho your ants are much more preferred than the ones that crawl through my garden, but bee's are just cute as hell, and your's look super adorable and I definitely want to see more of them :)
Ooh! Stingless bees could be cool! Also, you could totally do more worms underground, I love the way you draw them!
These bees are so cute omg.
You could made bees in space! :O
Sorry - I have a huge love for galaxy and space related things.. But yes, definitely draw them more and definitely incorporate some more bugs because they are pretty cute in your style!
Maybe you could make an art piece of ants and bees having a war! Or simply just combine the two in a drawing? But all different kinds of bugs sounds super cool!
I really like seeing some parts in real-time to give it all context. I think sometimes I'm so used to see things sped up, that I think people actually draw really fast... but then in real-time I see it's a lot slower than I thought!
they are both so wonderful! the bees are super adorable and the ants are great! i would love to see you work on some bees pieces but your ants will always me my favorite, keep up the awesome work Kasey
I love bees so much! I'm so glad you've drawn them.
Your art is so perfect every time I watch it I get so relaxed I end up dozing off
the real time helps give reality to ur videos its very inspiring seeing u work. sometime people forget that peices take hours to finish I love u keep it up
I’m so glad you drew bees because I love bees so much and I was thinking of drawing them more 😍🐝
I'd think it would be so cute to have an illustration with the bees and ants interacting with each other!
I'm sorry but I find it so satisfying when she starts putting in the water colors
Kasey I can’t *BEE* lieve you made this! Just kidding you’re the *QUEEN* of drawing prompts! You really *BRANCH* out with them!
You should illustrate a bug book! Different bugs in their homes, like the bees and ants. Maybe a termite mound next? Or moths living around a light...
For a second I thought that a beehive helicopter would be rad too... This illustration is pretty neat and cool! (Also I like how you're experimenting with more bugs.. Keep at it XD) Keep being awesome! Have a great day!
I like this editing style better than the last one...instead of jumping around it was more smooth. I like seeing some real time stuff in there but it gets boring after a while. Super cute bees!!!!!!!! :D
I am fascinated by your obsession with insects, ant‘s or bees or whatever nice technique too!
I think it’s most enjoyable when you do real time when u are in the painting phase. I think a way to enhance it would be to get some close ups of the water and paint being layed on the paper.
*Kasey starts a new series on her channel: it’s just her drawing a bunch of different things like she draws the ants*
This was super cute! I especially love the frame effect you did
I am still voting for the Kasey Golden Insect Book! Ants, Bee's, and other assorted insectivore! Maybe like you say , . . . On Cactus, in town or even on a horse!
this is really beautiful!! I hope you can bring more of your bees to your videos!!
＊ This little beehive should definitely go in your future ant artbook!
I thought you had put helicopter wings on the hive until you painting the branch brown - apparently I have an overactive imagination! 😂😂😂 This is super cute - I love breaking the frame, too! It looks fantastic 💕
I love how clean your artwork is !!
I'm into both the bees and ants. I hope you can go back and forth in drawing them and one day put them together for a huge art piece. However, I too am worried about your burn out. The sketchbook slam challenge is a great idea, but I hope you are still taking care of yourself mentally and physically. I look forward to seeing your next post :)
Everyone's talking about the ants/bees, but I just have to say, your art *still* looks amazingly amazing. 😊😊😊
Before you colored it, i thought the branch was supposed to be a propeller! A floating bee hive that goes around the world and pollinates everywhere would've been really cool.
I love this one it's so adorable! keep both the ants and the bees! or make un illustration that has both of them I think that would be cool! keep up your amazing work!
bees..wait,something isn’t right
THIS ISN’T THE REAL KASEY
Cute! My first thought was drawing a beehive as a helicopter.
You could tape this into your sketchbook - that would definitely count!
I love the bees!! I really love how they look, their little oval bodies are really cute, and the design is simple, but not the generic bee design. but, I do got one thing to say: the wings are way too big. the ones upright in the air look like fat butterflies (which is also cute!) but other than that? adorable. i can't wait to see an ant riding on the back of a bee.
If you say, "I don't know," one more time, I'm calling the ant police! 😋
I love this illustration! Maybe one day you'll have a book showing the life of different bugs. Like, a bee apartment, a slug party, an ant firestation, a mosquito blood bank, etc.
This reminds me of the bowl and camera ant illustration. Like the way you "hid" the helicopter. I think you should mix the bees and ants with other bugs
You should do more insects and them make a big insect drawing. I love them ❤❤
