Loving this slower coloring and sketching style, nice to see how the art progresses in stages! You're getting really good at copics, so glad they found their way into your studio!
Got the notification of this one just before bed last night and couldn't wait to watch it this morning as I absolutely love dragons, (have collected them for many years). She is absolutely gorgeous Valerie! Thank you so much, you made my day! :)
I have so many mixed emotions right now. I had several A-ha moments and feel so inspired to practice but gaaaaah frustration! Why do I always find tons of inspiration when it is too late in the day and too dark to begin projects? Whyy oh whyy? I love this dragon so much! And I swear, you are the most inspirational and educational person I have encountered. :) You always explain exactly the way my brain can understand where I usually never get it. Lots of love to you!
+Ambi Cahira So glad our brains think alike! Because I explain the way my brain learns. And oh I feel you about the getting inspired when its too late in the day to draw... or is it! All nighter!
🕸👻🎃Ur such an amazing artist, I just love watching u draw, Drawing is my passion and always has and ur vids always encourage me. Pls don't stop drawing!
That's what I thought when I saw the title of the video. I think the sad thing for me is that I don't have any copic markers, so I have to watch her use them. :) But I've seen them at Hobby Lobby, so I'll be able to purchase some soon.
+Olivia B I`m commenting on my mom`s channel. If you have colored pencils she has a whole playlist on tips and tricks on how to draw with those. I have prismacolors but no copics. I really want some. :)
this dragon is soooo beautiful!! 😀 and I know I would watch a gem drawing video! or even a Rock drawing video! that's one thing of many that I need work on!
As always this is such a beautiful illustration. You inspire me tremendously and also after watching this video you inadvertently made me place a nice sized order for some more copics..I did not have some of the colors you used...particularly v20 but of course my addicted self can't stop at one...but that's here nor there...lol. But on a more serious note I just want to say thank you. Your videos have helped me more then words can ever describe. Your videos give me confidence to keep going with my passion for art and to not be hard on myself or give up. One thing I adore is how real you are. Some videos try and suggest "quick ways" to become better at art but you always say it all comes down to practice. And even though it's not an answer a lot of us want to hear because it's not instant gratification, it's the best advice to take...to just practice. So before this comment ends up being novel length I'm gonna wrap it up but again thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your videos have given me so much and are just so fun to watch :) take care!
If this was ever for sale and my parents let me buy it, I would pay 10 to the 100000000000 power tons of money for this mah gawd this is just perfect, and purple if my fave color anyways xD
I have an idea u could draw people and dragons like if u try and draw flutter shy the spikes would curve round like hair or for u short spikes to represent ur short hair I find this really fun I just thought I would give u the idea u can do the same for griffons and fairies and pixies what ever u like
Hey a bit of a solution to your gnat problem; try putting a saucer of vinegar out and that will get rid of them. The gnats can't stand the smell and it will get rid of the gnats for ya.
I tried drawing a dragon before, but I don't think it's very good and besides it's just a sketch. I wish I could show you it somehow and get advice from you xD
hi I'm new in the channel and I'm from Brazil, and I love to draw (not that I draw well) but I would love if you do it a video making a drawing with a simple material (I only have 12 crayons and I do not have much money to buy expensive drawing material) love your videos
I love your how to videos... but it's kind of hard to tell what you're doing sometimes because your camera focuses more on your hands than on the paper.
Could some one please help me I use pro markers and I'm having trouble shading/blending colours Can someone help me and give me tips or let me know what should I do? I have a pro marker blender marker and I've tried to use it but it just doesn't work I'd appreciate the help :)
The Promarker blender bleaches the colors, and does - as you observed yourself - not blend the colors. I use Promarkers and I find that the easiest way to blend the markers is when they are wet, so you have to work rather quickly - of course not uncomfortabely quickly! For example, for an ombré effect, lay down the the darker color, then the lightest, and slightly mix it with the darker when it's still wet. I hope it helps - this is just the way I do it :)
WHY ARE THE BEST ARTISTS LEFT HANDED XD
Loving this slower coloring and sketching style, nice to see how the art progresses in stages! You're getting really good at copics, so glad they found their way into your studio!
I'm glad you added how you sketched it as most people on UA-cam don't. So I enjoyed watching this.

your music is probably the most relaxing thing ive heard all day its so calming. :)
I have so much fun drawing dragons. There can be so many variations!

purple is my favourite colour, dragons are just awesome and I really want copics - this video earned you a like!
Ooooo, I would love you to make a "How to draw gemstones" video!
it would be so cool if you did a dragon for all rare jem stones 😄😄😄x

I think she should do a dragon for all gemstones of the months :D
+Olivia B same
+infinitmagic love same

Any tips for finishing pictures? I do a lot of sketches but I'm really bad at making finished pictures with backgrounds and stuff?
Thanks
It also has some pretty good illustrations at the beginning of the book
Oooh Different Dragons!
Diamond dragon...
Sapphire dragon...
Emerald Dragon...
Ruby Dragon...
Yadda yadda yadda...

I'm tempted to do something similar with flowers... Do you plan on doing more gemstone drakes?
Ala Carte can you please teach me how to draw side faces?
If this was ever for sale and my parents let me buy it, I would pay 10 to the 100000000000 power tons of money for this mah gawd this is just perfect, and purple if my fave color anyways xD
This is beautiful!!
Awesome! I really love it
Wow, you're already amazing with Copics! :3 So cute. :)

This is so cool good job :) God bless you
Hey Valerie! I remember seeing you animate the narwhal and I was just wondering if you were ever going to go over animation more. Love your vids ❤️
That's so pretty!!
I have an idea u could draw people and dragons like if u try and draw flutter shy the spikes would curve round like hair or for u short spikes to represent ur short hair
I find this really fun I just thought I would give u the idea u can do the same for griffons and fairies and pixies what ever u like
Hey a bit of a solution to your gnat problem; try putting a saucer of vinegar out and that will get rid of them. The gnats can't stand the smell and it will get rid of the gnats for ya.
can u make a turtorial on how you made this specific dragon and the shapes u based it on? or even just a base for the dragon?
+Udon McNoodle I have a video on a dragon base in my videos. Check out my Dragon playlist, it should be there. Hope it helps.
Art ala Carte thank you so much!!
What kind of markers do you use?
So cool! btw, please could you make another dragon video where you colour with coloured pencils because I miss your colour pencil videos :P
Hello! You are an amazing artist and I love your voice! 😍💖😘

Can u do a copic / alchohal based 101 series

if you don't mind, I was thinking maybe you should draw a gemstone dragon for each month, when the month comes. does that make sense?
can you make video about the colors
why couldn't you have posted this on the weekend. I had to draw a dragon for my weekly sketch in art class. He had butterfly-like wings
+Channah Gustafson Hey, i mean butterfly wings are pretty awesome too XD
+Annabel Qi lol yup!
