I'm an oil painter/illustrator/cat mom living in Seattle. I am in love with oil painting, but I also dabble in drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, and always looking to learn new mediums! I post my painting and illustration time lapses, tutorials, and various artist adventures for your enjoyment. ❤️

I miss you everytime you don't post for a while 😢 these answers helped me so much as a beginner artist.. I love you ❤️✨
Aww I missed you guys too!! ❤️
@@HappyDArtist oh my god you have literally made my week I didn't think you would actually reply 😭❤️
Your room is so cool so is your art
Ugh, your aft makes me so happy. It inspires me so much 😃
Whenever I feel like quitting art, I rewatch one of your videos and gain some inspiration again.
Glad to see you back! Thanks for the Q&A. 😊
You're such an inspiration for me :( I just wanna say thank you for existing and spreading happiness through your art! ❤
Oh your such a big inspiration to me and also a lot of my friends enjoy your videos and walkthroughs, it's great for any aspiring artist to relax one to one with someone like you 🎨
Nice to see you again! I'm in a place rn where I need to get a job even tho I want to just be a full time artist, I feel like I have the motivation and also the talent yet I haven't had too much time to gain an honest audience. I'm not saying I need like a large audience but I'd like to see a number of people who come back and genuinely like my art and would want to support me. I haven’t given up on my art career yet tho
Plenty of artists have a job in the early days whilst they build their audience, you can still be an artist!
Yes make a part two!😂😍 Happy you're my favorite artist and I love love love your advice videos. Their such a breath of fresh air and they keep me hopeful for the future. I hope for Christmas I can get one of your prints bcs I have had my eye set on one in particular that really inspired me this year. I love your work and I think you have a kind heart. Can't wait for the next video❤
Omg you read and answer my question I can’t believe this I love you so much and your artwork
Whenever I feel lost or discouraged I just watch your videos to feel inspired again. So happy I found you.
Yay!!! I love your videos and art!! Your art and videos helped me so much when I was in a rough patch especially with my art!! You're amazing and thank you for your advice it's so helpful!
Glad to help dear!
I really like all the questions! It just really show that no matter how successful you are, we are still human and we should embrace the beauty of that. Everyone struggles but it depends on how you view it and how you deal with it :) I really respect you so much! All the love to you from Thailand
Just a thank you hunnie, you got me brave enough to start my own little business & am now in my first gallery... im starting to do my own prints now & though i have a nice helpful printer, I remember some videos you did about printing from your own office, have you any videos up (ive been so busy youtube time has gone down haha) about what printer to get etc that you could be kind enough to suggest - i think quality control from my office will shoot up as my prints have added work once printed & im wondering what the damage will be to get that set up - its going to hurt my bank account I think hehee :)
videos from happy d are the literal best😍💯💕💗
We missed you Happy :) , nice to see you again !
I just dropped out of Art school. Your journey inspires me to continue to create on my own and to chose a self learning path. Something I never even thought of before.
Absolutely LOVE all of your advice!!💖💖💖🙏🏼
Your art is amazing and your advice on this is awesome!!💜
I love your last answer, I relate to it so much; I am really attached to my grandparents as well and they live on the other side of the world and I would love to be able to give back to them after all they've done for me ❤
You are my true inspiration happy...I have also become full time artist n left my job a year before & I got motivation for that from you only....lots of love from India ❤
Your art is so wonderful and your attitude is so great. You fiancé is so lucky to have a smart and so beautiful lady. Every time I see you my heart just melts.
yeah a break is always crusial
Yess....
My queen is back...
Your so beautiful I love your art so much! This video really helped❤️
I need more......... art in my life! 😍😍😍
Your art is really beautiful! In your part 2, Did your culture and background influence your art?
Love this ! thanks!
Very nice to see a video from you again :)
When do you think would be a good time or skill level to start a social media account?
sometimes I just watch your Q&A just to see your face. Seriously you're beautiful.
Finally a new video 😘😘😘
Your advice on how to sell your art was helpful. But truth is many artistis already do all that... I guess another more importat questions are... which platform was more successful for you? Where do your buyers come from? Instagram? UA-cam? Or you ve found another platform on which you were able to sell your art? Did you promote your art with adverts to other art pages?
You look great and took the move well
Aww thank youuuu
I love how your prints are high quality I was wondering if you could give me advice on printers to use?
i like your art!
Nice job on this video
China! So cool!
I am only 8 but i want to be an artist and i am learning😌
That is great you are learning! I believe in you!! :)
Only 8 years old? Well how I wish to be eight again and have the rest of my life to become the best!. Can you imagine if you really draw and paint every day since right now how ahead you will be against others when you become an adult?
If i ever want an advice or motivation you are the one i reach.... Thanks for inspiration❤️❤️🎨😘.... but when do you eat...... Only dinner....?
I think that an artist isn't an entrepeneur unless they're capable of making money while they sleep. Let's take a shop owner, yes, an entrepeneur. BUT! Let's say an artist that's a freelancer. A freelancer gets sick... She doesn't get paid that day. So that's a big important difference. Ideally we should all thrive to be an entrepeneur, make passive income and live a well balanced life ^^ Thanks for sharing the video! It helps a lot to stop your mind overthinking so tips like these are useful
I would love to see your dogs in your videos, they are so sweet and gorgeous.
Also Ryden recently put out a video describing the enormous gilded frame that was designed and built for the Michael Jackson painting. Only that much more of a dream piece!
Yup! That frame is its own piece of art haha
Is there good methods for coming up with ideas to draw instead of copying? I'm really struggling with creating my own drawings😭
Qué 😍....
謝謝你
I'll start using Instagram now 💕🦊💕🦊🌸
Who else wants to see a video of the painting in the background
It's coming soon! Almost done hehe
Amei ❤️
😍
No Vpn In china?
You tube is blocked in China? why?
Maybe if you want to supplement your income you could try to post art tutorials on gumroad or patreon . . . I think aaron blaise who worked at disney does that. leo matsuda who also worked at disney does that as well but on skillshare . . . have you every considered becoming an art director or concept artist? or maybe making some sketches for a zine or small publication. i remember i subbed when u had 10k subscribers and i'm so proud of how far you've come from your 30 days of art series. make sure you make something just for yourself as well and don't sell your soul too much. but i try to support whatever you do. please keep creating and sharing.

Yt is blocked in china? Waat
Winnie the Pooh is banned in China. YT ban doesn't surprise me at all...
it's not just UA-cam lol
People's Republic of China is a dictatorship and they openly censor their internet. It's very sad.
Hi beautiful,, good afternoon you
Is it legal to be so cute?
You seem unhappy
The only disagreement I've ever had with you is the end of this video. Why do women want to earn money for the sole purpose of giving it away to everyone else? It is of course a part of an asian culture intersecting with being a woman, the expectation that you must 'care' for your family through some means whether that is financial or by being a home maker... but the concept, while noble, is antiquated. I'd really like to see you focus on taking care of YOU before others. Make sure your own savings and retirement funds are doing well, get yourself a treat or an experience you've always wanted, etc. Your grandparents and parents have lived most of their lives without 'depending' on you financially (I hope) and they will be fine continuing to do so- but you will only get one shot at making a life that will sustain YOU emotionally and financially. You need to put your own oxygen mask on first before going to put someone else's on.
your family in China can’t watch your UA-cam videos? I hope the ban is overturned and they can binge watch your stuff
