“Every time you infantilize Nathan, this is who you’re infantilizing” And every time we kiss…
I get this feeling...
"We're not doing that one any more!"
We brought Cascada home ❤
I swear *wheezes* I can flyhyhyhy
Jacob: NO
We all have them
I love the juxtaposition between Julia’s amazing portrait of this actor’s chiseled face and her ridiculous paper bag ghost in the bottom right corner
How Julia sees the world va how Julia sees herself lol
*vs
She's truly an amazing artist capable of great and unforgettable works. Then she does a Bobby Spheill
@@chrismanuel9768Bobby Spheal is such a good name lmao
well
last time she did her portrait monster like people complained because it “had too many eyes”
so maybe shes just taking the easy route of simple avatar
Love that painting one one layer makes Nathan, Jacob and Karina go spooky mode while Julia goes beautifully vibrant Leyendecker.what a twist
Ooh so true
it's like their anti-style challenge
Hellscape, cryptid, demon (sexy), Stan Lee
There's a lot of jokes at Julia's expense about how hard it is for her to draw characters without reference but the accuracy and life her referenced portraits have is really incredible. You can tell that's Daniel Craig even at the earliest stages. It's actually so hard to do this and she makes it look effortless
They’re able to make fun of her so much bc all four of them know that she’s the best at it out of the group lmao
i think that's what makes it so funny tho, julia is an amazing artist but she can't draw sonic
They are all great artists and all deserve immense credit for it but Julia is, in my opinion, the best artist of the 4. Sometimes the pieces she does are like actually beautiful pieces that could probably be sold but she just does them and makes it look effortless.
That's why it's hillarious to see her Bobby Hill disaster
It’s cause they have different skilllz. You gotta admire all of their different abilities and areas of expertise. Julia is amazing at faces and drawing from reference. Nathan can whip out animals and characters from memory. Jacob makes characters come to life and Karina is Karina. It’s really cool and it’s what makes them such a great team.
I misread the title and thought it was that y'all were all working on a single painting simultaneously... So my suggestion is to do that.
Edit: Yes, I know they've drawn on a single canvas together many times. I'm saying making a single painting together. So using the digital painting techniques but all at once not just drawing.
I also thought this
same. do this again, but on a shared canvas
jacob is gonna die of anger! I love it!
Same.
Same
“that one little freak is not doing so hot” is what my coworkers say about me every day 😔
I love that
Same
Sooooo relatable
This made me lol irl
same
Never forget that the person who painted this flawless likeness of Daniel Craig is the same person who gave us ‘Bobby Hill’
She contains multitudes
People can be more than one thing
Seeing details, understanding how it works and remembering the same details isn't the same, nor is being able to translate memory to lines on a screen/page.
"Julia Flexing without even trying or knowing she is flexing" episodes are the best episodes
Just a humble Julia flex😂
"I'm not an infant. I'm an edgy middle-schooler" is such a good Nathan quote
the fact they both act the same anyways 💀🙏
Is there a difference?
The Grey Square of Photoshop is the ghost of Nathan's Emotional Support Cube from the clip studio episode
Oh boy I just posted a comment about this exact thing too haha! The one brain cell...
@@TheRainstorm97every Drawfan will eventually become part of The Drawfee Braicell… 😨🤭
yess I didn't even had a need to point it out, just felt like meeting my old friend(gret squares) again
The cube will always come back to support nathan, even through timg and space(programs). It's beautiful
what episode is it where the grey cube just shows up in the sidebar i cant find the episode and it's driving me insane helphelhelp
Julia: "I was filled with panic and fury."
Also Julia: "I was in a summery mood..."
summer is the season of Misery so she is correct
julia: “it doesn’t look like them until the very end”
also julia: immediately readable & recognizable portrait
Is your profile Fred
@@doctorlungs9170 freddy or not here i go
I probably have commented this somewhere before, but I think a "digital pancake art" challenge could be fun. You kinda do all your layers in reverse order, covering up your details, lines, and shading with the flat colors at the end, then flip the layers and invert the order for the final reveal.
I like this idea. Maybe more like painting on the inside of a window/glass, I'm sure there's a name for that sort of thing. Since pancake art involves the first part being darker than the later parts and there's an element of time to worry about.
ooh seconding this! this could be super fun
This is good.
And the whole time, your under sketch is on top, forever taunting you.
holy shit that's an insane idea LOL
Kinda cool how the weird little freaks in Nathan's "brain painting" sorta look like synapses!
Right?! I freaking love that piece.
brainting
his brain made a self portrait
Those are the evil synapses
I also saw that!
Nathan is some kind of art assassin, I swear. He is all like "haha, look, funny characters, haha, so cute" and out of nowhere blows your brains with a masterpiece.
Your space-megalodon is still my tablet background and every time I open my tab I am like "fuck, that's so cool".
Which episode has the space megalodon?
@@DX795Q"redesigning classic movie monsters"
And every time we kiss
@@TheBurkissWay i swear i could fly
The space jaws is still top 5 Nathan art. Damn flawless.
Hey, last week I was diagnosed with OCD, I suffer a lot with intrusive thoughts and am starting treatment for them in a couple weeks, seeing Nathan's painting made me feel seen and I really enjoyed watching the process. P.S. If you have intrusive thoughts and you're seeing this, you're not a bad person and they don't represent you. You'll be okay.
Genuinely very helpful to imagine my intrusive thoughts as just a nasty little freak neuron that's getting its grubby little hands all over my thoughts. Like, that guy isn't representative of me, he's just a weird little shrimp getting into places he doesn't belong
OCD sufferer here who got treatment and is doing a lot better- best of luck on your journey, friend!
yes yes yes to this!! and op YOU are not a bad person bc of your intrusive thoughts - they don’t represent you either :)
I have since entered remission from OCD, but it took years and years of hard work. My point being, it _is_ doable. Your nasty little freak neurons will do their dirty deeds, but _you_ are always you. Be well, my friend.
I also love how often times the tactic that is given for intrusive thoughts is to just let it be and learn to live with them and that is really shown in the artwork and it’s process of just letting things be.
The ferality that took over when Karina said "fatten Luce up" because oh man would giving that boy a bit of a pouch give me the greatest joy
Why can't I find people like you. Other than that I don't talk to people.
SAME
I would love to see drawfee draw more fat people tbh, it would be really nice!
fully agree, it's way more attractive than abs
honestly would love to see them draw more body types with more fat on them overall
scrolled down to express the same sentiment, immediately forgot, found this comment which reminded me. thanks!
Honestly, I was surprised that Julia didn't whip out an actual canvas and paints for this one. 😂
Sometimes I will just randomly remember that Jacob is colorblind while seeing him create really cool pieces like this, where the colors are just insanely dynamic and scratch my lizard brain sooo good
"It's the first thing you look at, especially if you don't have eyes" is an incredibly ominous sentence
Suggestion: Mash up two characters with the same name, e.g. Napoleon (Animal Farm) X Napoleon (Napoleon Dynamite), Hades (Hades) X Hades (Hercules). On another video where I suggested this @evah4431 came up with Spike (Cowboy Bebop) X Spike (My Little Pony) which is also great.
I agree with you.
lucifer (hazbin hotel) x lucifer (lucifer the show)
Yes. This
Also come up with a new name pun involving 2
haDOS
TWOcifer
Napolion the 2nd (lazy but fits the emperor vibes)
SpIIke
Oooh, that's a good one
Nathan's laugh is the most infectious thing I've ever heard. the second he started talking about the Gray Square, I was just doubled over in laugher, crying tears of delight and bewilderment
So infectious ❤❤ such a precious man
The Grey Square of Photoshop that Finds You is the opposite of the emotional support cube
It's like a cat's purring in effect, and I think he's probably not the only one who has such a laugh, but it's not terrbly common.
I think jacob gets a pass on his undo's, he did it on a sketch layer, and thats realistically something you can do because there's no paint on the canvas yet. Well not undo, but erase, and through erasing you can undo the last line. you get it.
i agree that jacob should get a pass bc i love him but he TOTALLY undoes his paint layer in the early stages, there's a point where a giant splotch of blue appears and then disappears. but ur right, there are totally types of traditional art with an "undo" and that should be taken into account here!
Nathan's piece should DEFINITELY be sold as a print, I wanna see how long it takes before I go insane
i love how in a rare vibe swap, everyone but Julia did a sorta darker/more intense piece. these pieces are all fukken bangers
nathan’s piece looks like a card in a trading card game that like, eats all the cards in your opponents hand or something
Most likely magic I'm thinking either zendikar or inistrad packs
knowing that nathan uses the sexy tarmagoyf rendered by karina as a playmat is the highlight of my day. imagine him rolling up to a tournament and slappin that bad boy down. incredible.
When Karina said “you know who I had to do!” My mind did the whole digimon episode bit of going “is it kaiba? Beelzemon? Schmando? Panic at the disco? Grinch and onceler? Hanzo and Hole?” And I forgot about Luce 🙃
Me too! I was flipping through the mental rolodex of Karina's comfort characters and feeling so bad because she said *"you know* who I had to do" with such confidence and I _didn't know_ Karina! I didn't!
I was like “is it legoshi?”
I thought of Kaiba, Dio, and Cats 2019.
My brain had a tossup between Kaiba and Shmando 😂
I thought of Destiel Confession...
For sone reason during Julia's section I just like...started tearing up? Something about how obviously masterful she is while being so humble AND dealing with a health issue that impacts her ability to draw just really gets to me. All the pieces in this ep were amazing ❤ Makes me want to do more art
Stuff like this has been making me suddenly tear up, too. Must be the time of life that I'm entering, but man. These onion-chopping ninjas are working overtime and such odd hours.
Okay, wow, it feels kinda weird to be listening to Drawfee in the background and then hear them call out your Discord name randomly. Glad I could help Thomas out!
The hero Thomans needed...
I always forget how skilled Julia is with painting until she whips out a beautiful Benoit Blanc.
THESE ARE ALL SO GOOD GUYS
Episode idea: someone blur random images until they’re incomprehensible, then someone else draw over it what you think it looks like!
Nathan’s bad place being your average Julia’s eye is so relatable.
I had a friend who had never seen lord of the rings describe to me what she thinks happens in the story and it was hilarious! My suggestion: Draw what you think happens in famous movies you have never seen.
Ooo I like this idea
this would be so fun
Nathan's painting just GOT me. Holy shit that's an amazing image. This is such a good representation of what intrusive thoughts are like, I want to print this and hang it on my wall but every time I'd look at it I'd get anxiety, because it's too good at depicting anxiety. I'm so glad he decided on adding the depth as well, the whole thing is such simple shapes but SO effective.
I felt really validated seeing Nathan's piece, because I can barely draw/paint in my little free phone sketch app and while his level of skill is something I can't match I have in fact drawn that exact kind of vent-the-bad-thoughts piece with that exact color scheme and similarly spiky shapes. It felt like a professional version of what I do to get out of a bad emotional spot, and my sketch app version suddenly felt a lot more important. I'm glad I watch Drawfee so I got to have that experience. Also, because I love the Drawfee crew's art in general and it's really nice to see what great work everyone makes on challenges like this.
When I saw the little hat, I was worried the chef was going to show us what was under the cloiche
I was worried Jacob's tilted speech was about to take a turn back to "the most terrible french accent you've ever heard", but also slightly disappointed it didn't
I am extremely disappointed it didn't, I need that voice to narrate my life
Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo and Da Vinci of the 21th century
Which is which?
If you'd used Da Vinci's first name there would be no way to convince me you weren't referring to the Ninja Turtles
And the rat who trained them all.
@@StraightOuttaJarhoisCaldwell?
+ 2 Garfields in the J&J household
they all went absolutely ridiculously hard in this ep, has to be one of my favorites currently. I love when they do silly lil guys but it’s so incredible when they flex their more “traditional” artist skills and just produce such masterpieces
This was the most informative draftee episode, teaches different techniques
1.Nathen, paint sometimes where your mind just takes control. 2:48
2. Jacob, use new brushes and work with mono and duo chromatic colors 11:58
3. Karina, when getting frustrated take a break and work on parts that you enjoy, and use mirrors and rulers when needed, also the pose may not feel right later but it’s ok to fix it. 20:51
4. Julia, how to render and paint human faces and see colors, and that the mouth is the 2nd most noticeable thing next to eyes when painting
29:01
On #4, I don't think it's just when painting. It's just how facial recognition works for our brains. You see someone's eyes, and then you see their mouth. Hair can be inconsistent, and people don't look at ears or nose or chin as much, so it's eyes and mouth that really capture a face. :)
I love how they all bring different tools and skills to the table
Nathan absolutely killed it, holy shit. This is an instant entry into the Top 5 Nathan drawings for me!
When they said “Daniel Craig is a patron” did anyone else rewind to the D’s to see if they added his name in the patron names as a gag
This episode feels like what i would think of as "classic drawfee" - it's subjective, but I mean it has the vibe of the first few episodes I watched before even subscribing. I like it.
I've missed their speed draws so much. Glad they're back!
nathan’s painting is so rad, it would make a dope print or desktop wallpaper
Or mouse pad
@9:26
“And every time we kiss I SWEAR I CAN FLY!”
(I got you, Karina) 👊😎
Nathan, that gray square was your emotional support cube trying to bond with you, I can't believe you got rid of it
I love Nathan’s versatility, he’s a great cartoonist, able to emulate different styles..and then pulls out this amazing piece
"Sometimes, you just gotta be patient"
So my suggestion from 6 yrs ago might get picked!
What was it?
I'm rooting for you bud! I think mine is 3 years old. I'm on attempt 300 something😂
I saw the thumbnail and said “Oh weird, I’ve never seen that one before”. I then proceeded to click on it, thinking it was from two years ago or something. I was surprised to be so early for once💀
I loooove these!! I particularly like Nathan's because it feels more, like, personal than we often see from Drawfee, in a way? Not that the crew never gets personal/emotional with their art but idk, this one just hit different for some reason I can't quite put my finger on (plus it just looks so rad).
Nathan’s piece feels so relatable as someone with OCD (which comes with a lot of intrusive thoughts). I appreciate being able to see a visual representation of what my head feels like. Really compelling piece, Nathan!
You know it’s gonna be good when the intro to the first speed draw is, “you did this…”
Suggestion! Maybe you could do that challenge where people swap their canvas every 5 minutes. Idk how it would translate over to digital, but if you haven’t already, I think a collaborative Drawfee piece would be fun!
that’s such a fun idea!! if it’s too difficult logistics-wise for Nathan and Karina, it could be just Jacob and Julia doing it since they live together
This seems like something that’d work well for a stream too
@@TheDrawfeeBraincelli mean they can send the psd over on drive i think
I have to say that Nathan's painting is definitely my all-time favourite of his. The like, vent-art, "automatic drawing" mindset, the monstrous nature of the piece and the heavy contrast in the colours he used in it all vibe with me.
I'm not the type to buy art to hang on my wall, but I'd definitely put that on a wall in my living room.
I like how the final painting lineup looks like a transition. Like a slider that goes from demon to human, from abstract to realistic, it’s super cool!!!
Gotta love Nathan’s little daddy long leg demons, they bring me such joy. Very inspiring.
36:00 That reminds me of how I just recently learned that portrait painters in medieval times or something would put a layer of green before applying skin tones.
As usual Julia just casually throws down something completely insane. Mr B Blanc and that painting she did inspired by princess mononoke are my two absolute favourites
Everybody killed it but Julia was a beast this episode.
this is one of those challenges where i immediately think ‘oh i NEED to do this too’
Suggestion: Bone game, but different. Artist Draws the skeletal structure of an already existing character, then next artist draws a character from those bones
…telebone?
12:12 karina gasps like a victorian aristocrat who just heard the most REPULSIVE comment at the dinner table from her unruly heir and is now fanning herself in shock.
now you gotta do a TRADITIONAL traditional art challenge, setting up a camera and everything.
I cant believe they looked the layers outside the apartment
At least they've got the undo button and the eraser to keep them company(new ot3 unlocked?)
Julia crushed this one.
SUCH a huge fan of nathan just going in whole ass to a freakin scorn cave, AND we get booba from karina? not to mention jacob's haunting gaze and julias immaculate rendering,,, truly blessed on this day btw thanks jacob for the new artist (the style he mentioned) and new webtoon rec, definitely checking both of those out 👀
Wow. Julia KILLED it. Amazing work by the others, too, but I could immediately see Leyendecker in that portrait early on, and it turned out so well for a challenging piece (glasses, no visible eyes, etc. ). I love the vibe of Jacob's, too, with the haunting eyes depicting the personality of someone who's just decided to step into the corpse identity of his brother, burn down his home, and start afresh as a fraud. I love Karina's Luce, and I LOVE the graphic and creepy automatic painting Nathan put out. You all did so well!
23:35 NGL I kinda died for a moment before realizing Karina said "cocked hip"
HAHAHAHAHA I hope this comment gets traction
Was looking for this comment hahaha
Same!
My brain just accepted what it heard. I would not have known if it weren't for this comment.
Lmaooo I thought she said “**** tip” I had to rewatch
"I was having intrusive thots while I was trying to work, so I decided to vibe with those" is some extraordinarily powerful shit, we're like, CRYING. }X'-D
'i cant with abs' - karina, who demonstrably can with abs
Any time Karina draws Luce I go absolutely feral with excitement. This character is so absolutely up my alley we’re down the next block and on the way out of the city.
“So up my alley we’re down the next block and on the way out of the city” is maybe my favorite thing I’ve ever read on the internet.
I'm so in love with the colours Nathan used.
Good luck with Nathan’s Dark Twisted Mind DeepBlue Ink
Arlo Sterling is in the background cackling gleefully
cant stop looking at the way julia rendered the light hitting the corner of the eye. its beautiful
Jacob it’s wild that you said “if you put this (nathan’s) piece on a wall it would slowly drive you insane” because i had just been thinking how cool it would be as a huge poster! It’s the perfect kind of art for large scale, so detailed!
Great job Nathan!
these turned out SO INCREDIBLE!!! I love the vibes from all of them!! this might be one of my favorite speedpaint eps yet!
Suggestion: four artists make ONE painting on one layer.
The first person does the under drawing and blocks in the colors for the background.
The second does the background details.
The third does the foreground under drawing and blocks in the colors.
The fourth does the foreground detail.
Something like this is what I thought this episode was going to be. Lol
I just wanted to tell you that the moment Jacob started talking about his troubles, my painting table fell to literal pieces, which to me was honestly so beautiful and also a little profound, because y'all are always the reason I’m sitting down to make art. I want to make art, but I need drawfee playing in the background to feel better about it because I need a community I don’t have yet. What I’m trying to say is thank you and bless you for this ‘stupid’ and profoundly spiritual work you do.
nathan's piece RULES he consistently has some of the coolest speed draws. the depth and shading are so awesome. love your art nathan
Suggestion: jacob and nathan make a piece using a physical medium (e.g. karina drawing her magical girl on paper, julia making a clay sculpture of luigi)
The way that Nathan’s piece was made specifically for me. Thank u
Every time I've seen a piece someone made where they "drew what they were feeling" it's never when they're in a good mood. It always results in some really crazy works.
I love the juxtaposition of Nathan's puppydog-esque avatar against his intrusive thoughts painting.
them saying "everyone should do this"
me looking at all my art pieces: shit this is just how i draw....
been watching this channel to learn more about inking and cartoon/ simplifying styles for ever now
Jacob actualy help me feel more comfortable in how i pick colors for my art, often finding a thing i want to evoke and picking colors from that
Genuinely, it brings so much joy to my day whenever y'all do art like this, where you kind of just draw stuff you find fun/cool within a given challenge. My favourite kind of art is the kind where the artist really shines through it, and it's always a treat to see your different approaches and styles bring life to fantastic art! :D
I was not expecting the Ember Knight of all things to show up here. I love that webtoon, and I’m happy that Jacob did some fanart for it ✨
OMG ANOTHER SPEED DRAW- I love speed draw episodes, even though I know they take more time :)
I really, really hope this isn’t the last time y’all do one of these. It’s really cool to see but also so helpful.
watching julia whip out a whole-ass portrait was magical
Man, I look froward to the speed draws. I get to see when you all really are intentional with your skill and its really motivating.
Aaaaa this ep made me want to paint SO bad!!! I love that everyone took such a different approach and they were all so beautiful in the end!!! Literally every piece i was like "oh i wanna make something like that. No i wanna make something like THAT! NO I-"
I need Nathan's art from this ep so I can hang it up on my wall. Hot damn it's so cool.
I usually crochet or knit while watching Drawfee because it's hard for me to focus on just one thing especially if my hands don't have anything to do. This episode though, I had to put down my crochet project and just clasp my hands together and watch the ENTIRE episode. It was just so satisfying to watch them create their pieces in a painterly style, and I was loving every minute of it.
It made me want to get my acrylic paints and start slapping them on a canvas.
jacob, out here with colorblindness, flexing super hard with his intentional color choices. I literally would not know from his work if he didn't mention it every once in a while
Just hit the lunch break right as they post! This is a DRAWTASTIC miracle!
I stopped cleaning my room to watch the episode immediately, which sucks because I was so into cleaning but unfortunately Drawfee is a priority and there absolutely isn’t a deadline coming up that my room needs to be cleaned by.
A little hat and clogs is peak fashion 0:28
god I fucking love it when Nathan paints, it always ends up being some of my absolute favourite pieces
Just the progress Nathan has made as an artist is amazing. Also sometimes they say good job Nathan and I can skim some dopamine off the top.
