Thank you so so much to super Kevin for writing the spanish subtitles! We loooove you Keviin!
All my music is from Epidemic Sound
Camera
all videos filmed until December 2019 were filmed with a Canon EOS m with a 22mm lens (REALLY recommend if you're starting out, although it doesn't have a manual focus mode, it's cheap and the quality is great)
Now I'm using a Canon EOS M6 mark II with a 22mm lens
I use DaVinci Resolve for editing!
Things you don't know about this video: I've only swept my studio floors twice (in two years, oops) and my phone is FILLED with pictures of me posing hahaha
There’s no way studio vlogs would ever bore us, but inspire and cheer us up 🥰
I agree. I'm going to do one soon. I post drawing videos.
I'm never bored of studio vlogs.
Never ever :3
Never.
Yess never~
"I'm afraid you'll get bored" I would adopt you if I could Fran
These vlogs are inspiring. I've been wanting to start a UA-cam channel similar to this for a long time but have wondered, while I'm watching yours, who's gonna want to watch me draw and or talk about it. Then I wake up and realize I'm doing exactly that. Subscribing to great channels like yours. Haha. Thanks for sharing.
Do you guys just literally start drawing? Don't you have to draw that Loomis head first then start drawing all those planes of the Asaro head. How come your drawings look normal and you don't draw any of those guides first? I'm still at the level of turning circles into spheres by the way. I just bought an XP pen and on their site people uploaded their art and they are all wonkey! All the faces are off! I even saw one artist who sells canvas for $2000 each and she can't draw face that aren't front on, the minute they turn the features become all wonky like the mouth is off to the side or the nose is facing forward while the rest of the face is turned slightly! It's scary!
I'd love to see notion tour! I always feel so inspired after your videos
Can we just appreciate the fact that this video has no ads 😌
Fran, even though you can’t see us in your vlogs, we can see you, and I hope this doesn’t sound weird but I feel that whenever I watch your videos, it’s like an old friend catching me up on their life.
I’m glad you share the good illustration days and the not so good ones because it is a completely normal and natural creative process, and reassures artists to keep going regardless of the tricky times.
Your illustrations bring a lot of joy to many people. 😊
so much pink 💗 I'm never bored with studio vlogs, be gentle and know that we love visiting with our youtube friend Fran
I always love when Fran says she needs to be gentle with herself
I know it will be a good day when it starts with a new video from fran :3
Your vlogs are LITERALLY part of my self care routine!!! They help me unwind and it makes my day when i see youve uploaded a new video! Please don’t ever think we get bored!!
I am grateful you share these struggleling moments because that's how I feel about doing paintings with acrylics. It helps to know that this is a normal part of being artistic
I know how you feel about not beeing a native english. My native language is romanian and english is soo different. I can understand what people say in english but when I try to speak is like I don't even know how to say pencil, eraser or good morning. I perfectly fell you Fran
when fran was struggling on those pages i felt that
the making comics struggle is real
I’ve always wanted to consider myself an illustrator but since I’m terrible at drawing from memory I simply thought I couldn’t draw. Then an instructor of mine encouraged the use of references and it turns out I can draw 🤣
Does anyone else just want to hug her and tell her you believe in her? That's she's doing an incredible job.
i've told my students to use references for poses countless times already. seeing you taking pic of yourself for reference is what i encourage them to do everytime they struggle with the ways limbs supposed to look like in poses
Yesssssss!! It’s Fran to watch on this lovely rainy day and have a cuppa coffee with ✨✨✨
I did a whole graphic novel about baseball players. I took a photo of every single pose I didn't knew how to do (pretty much every one of them!) and thanks to that the story look amazing. But yes, for sure, those pics out of context are the weirdest hahaha
Y me acabo de dar cuenta de que estoy escribiendo en ingles y que vos sos de chile, EN FIN. Un abrazo desde Argentina, Fran!
I'm so glad i became a Patreon! Your vlogs are so soothing + inspiring. Thank you Fran and be well!
Could literally NEVER get bored of watching your videos, Fran. I get soooooo happy when I’ve seen you uploaded on!!
omg I get so happy when u post! these videos make my day 🌟
hi fran! first, i just want to say that you are absolutely magical and i love these videos very much!! 💖 now, i'm not entirely sure if this will help with perspective issues but it's helped me in the past when drawing on paper..
but i suggest maybe taking a picture of the spread/page and then importing it onto your ipad and then open it in something like procreate. you can add perspective drawing guides to line up with other things (like the bed) if you need to! then you can use the lasso tool to select the area you want to change (like the boxes) and use the arrow menu next to it once it's selected to distort/warp your selection as needed to make it look right with the rest of the spread. it's fairly quick in comparison to erasing and getting frustrated (i know that feeling so well!!. you can use the edited version as either a guide to reference, or even maybe print it out and trace over it with a lightbox.
i hope that made sense and maaaybe helped? but either way, know that you're not alone in these troubles. being an illustrator is hard! but you've got this. :)
I love studio vlogs!! And I love you Fran!
So grateful and happy to be watching another of your vlogs! 🖤

Dear Fran, we love your studio vlogs and your honesty. This is unique!
I genuinely get so excited when I see you've posted a studio vlog. It feels like hanging out with a friend for half an hour 💕

Thank you for another lovely video! I always enjoy your talking about what you are up to and how honest you are about your struggles :D also, can I just say I adore how you rock those pastel coloured sweathers? So cool!
With all the realness in your studio blogs there will never really be time or opportunity for them to be boring. Thank you for the raw and unedited version of the life of an artist,both the struggles, the highs and the path in between. Loved the filming of yourself bit, it’s such a useful tip for drawing poses 🙏
¡Fran, adoro tus vlogs! 💖✨ Muchas gracias por la inspiración y felicidades por todo el trabajo que estás haciendo. ¡Ya quiero leer tu novela gráfica!🙌✨✨
thank you for sharing this interesting part of the process, so much to learn and enjoy!
Never boring! Your studio vlogs are so calming and nice I always put them on when I’m studying or working to inspire/motivate me 💪💕
I love your studio blogs so much!!! It inspires me even more that other videos because I'm dreaming of living in NY and have a studio, so your studio vlogs make me feel like I'm there. Thank you Fran!
Hola! I usually use reference when drawing and take photos of myself or family to get specific poses, but never had the idea to make a video and getting screenshots! Sounds brilliant, tantas gracias por compartir! 😘
I can't wait to read your graphic novel once it's done! And it's SO insightful to see your proces. Kinda hopeful to see I'm not the only one struggling with poses and scenes/backgrounds 😅 It's a good kick in the butt to start working on a personal illustration project I've been putting off for too long! Thanks Fran 😊
Aaah, gracias por compartirnos un poco de tu vida Fran linda. Siempre es agradable verte y escucharte y personalmente tus videos me hacen sentir mejor si estoy muy enfocada en pensamientos abrumadores. Un gran abrazo 💖
Your vlogs are so entertaining I love them!
I love vlogs! And yours are always so inspiring and fun! It’s cool to see your art and your work processes and other funny bits you add in the vlog (like that 20 min long song lol). Thank you so much for another vlog, Fran! 🥰💕
Your reference photos really helps motivate me. I'm teaching myself how to draw and I honestly don't know where to start and I've been thinking of just drawing my own pictures. Now I just need the motivation to start drawing lol
LOVE studio vlogggggz girl
AH! Your sketches are great. The expressions are so terrific. So cool to see the process starting off on paper.
I loved your search for the perfect pose! X) - not bored at all of course! Thank you so much for sharing your practice in such a honest way - it's always super relaxing and inspiring to watch your studio vlogs!
We love your studio vlogs! ✨ It's a great companion while having a long breakfast, savoring my first coffee of the day. 🤍
