Will Terrell you are a inspiration. You are the definition of an artist you really give yourself telling us your mistakes, teaching life lessons and giving useful art tips. People respond to your videos because you are genuine stay that way.
Your laugh is so contagious. Sometimes I find my sell just laughing because your laughing. I am not artist but I love to craft. I do like to draw for yield and you have taught me not to take myself so serious and just have fun with it. Thank you so much.
You are truly an inspiration. A good teacher.. and realize it or not, you reach something inside ppl that helps change the world... one viewer at a time.
The drawing is absolutely amazing ofcourse, but you know what's even better? The story you told. Really touching. You don't seem like that big of a selfish person to me. Thanks for making me smile every time Will, and please, never stop making videos cause you are definitely the best art channel on youtube :)
Ive had the worst artist block this last couple months but I had a commission I had to do tonight. So I turned your videos on and put it on shuffle and listened to some inspiring words to keep me going to finish the piece. So thank you for inspiring and help full words! You have honestly opened my eyes and have made me see art for more than just a hobby.
I, just, don't even have words to explain the difference you have had in my life for the last few months, weeks, days. Thank You! I could listen to you forever. Be you, always.
Your videos are not just helpful in helping me improve but inspiring. You are a friend that I put on and listen to your stories when I work and draw. Im 15 years old and an aspiring animator and your characters have life and stories that I hope to have in mine someday. Your stories and drawings are always entertaining, thank you.
I discovered your videos about a year ago, when I was in high school, and I am so glad I did. I didn't actually have an official art class dedicated towards drawing until I started going to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I consider you one of my first teachers. You may not have been guiding through a 5hr drawing class, but your advice on drawing and life in general was invaluable. You helped me realize so much about improving as an artist and how to stay positive even though it doesn't feel like I am improving. I love listening to you commentary as you draw when I am working on stuff for class. I really appreciate being able to see your sketchbooks and your process. Thank you so much, Will Terrell! I love your art and I can't wait to see more of your content!
Hey Will...been watching you for quite some time and seen all your videos. I like what you have to say and learn from watching you. I'm an owner op/long haul trucker, been out here running the roads 30 years. I'm down your way all the time. When the truck ain't moving I'm either sleeping, playing with my dog or drawing. Anyway...thanks!
This is one of my favorite series. Ever. Of any genre. In fact this covers many genres I like: art, documentary, philosophy, comedy, action, indie, cartoons...!!! Thank you Will!
Your videos always make me laugh and smile, smile, smile! The way you laugh seems farmiliar in a comforting way. I don't know?! Your just so cool and your drawings are wonderful! Keep up the good work!
Hi Will Terrell! 10 years later and I still come back to your videos, they really mean a lot to me and have got me through some pretty rough times, thank you for your openess!
From my perspective what you've done is you've romantacized being artist as a way of life, as an expression of not just one's artistic abilities, but as an expression of one's character as well. In your videos you often reference a sense of community among artists through helping and befriending them, sharing experiences with the people around you, how you were once prideful and refused to grow until you realized what was most important and essential to being a decent person, which in turn bettered yourself as an artist. And especially to me I enjoy how you carry alot of positivity and friendliness when showing people how to become better artists, and how you remind us why we love to draw in the first place. Perhaps it's a contrast to the intense environment and the high standards of the art industry and how everything seems to be moving towards fierce competition and bitter rivalries. At least from my experience as an art school student.
Another great video, thanks for sharing. I'm 26 years old and a lot of the stuff you've talked about in this video and other videos, I've actually been in a process of changing as well for the past couple of years. Figuring out the correct outlook on life for myself has definitely helped me overcome a lot of the issues I've struggled with, especially depression. Sometimes I'm having a not so great day and I'm feeling a bit lost in the haze of that depressive cloud, I stumble on one of your videos and its helps me remember what I already know deep down, gives me that little slap in the head saying "wake up!". So thank you for that! What comes from the heart, reaches the heart!
So inspiring Will. You've come a long way! Good for you. You'd make a great dad. I picture a bunch of little ones following you around wearing caps and beards! lol Congrats on all the subscriptions. That's awesome. I for one subscribed because you're so talented but also because you are very real and honest. I enjoy videos like this where you talk about life and give us all inspiration to be better artists and better people. Thank you for this channel. Don't change things too much, we all watch and think your amazing just the way you are. I like the morning gratitude list idea too. Oh, is it wrong that I laughed at you calling your 2yr old niece a jerk? That was funny! We all need to appreciate our bananas! Love it! Take care, Tanya (today I am grateful for this video :-)
Great video! I love watching you draw. My white pen just died yesterday.... Moment of silence.... Must go out and get another soon. Keep up the great work!!!
Oh my good gosh! I absolutely love it when you laugh when telling us about these people, it just makes me smile and it even helps me see what you're trying to describe. Like the man's pants, I could see what you meant while you were talking about it, and I couldn't help but chuckle too. Your laugh is contagious and your work is amazing, thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for uploading not only this video but all your others. You are an inspiration not only as an artist but as a human being. Thank you so much for your time and best wishes to such a great guy. Take care.
Miss these videos. I remember I watched them when I only started out drawing as a young teen. You were always so kind in your videos and sincere I really appreciated that. :)
Thank you for being so honest with us. I think you're an amazing person and i'm so happy i found your channel. I can't believe how much I learned. You really opened my mind.. I really want to give more. Create more value for others. I've always felt most happy when helping others. Its the reason I started my youtube channel. You really inspire me so so much. I'm so pumped up to find new ways to help people! Thank you!!
You can tell how well an artist can do and his or her skills based on their laugh. I always wanted to know how the great painters throughout history laughed. I bet they were magical. Lol. I agree with the comments, your laugh is simply awesome.
I just discovered you a week ago and your videos have helped me a lot, so I wanted to say thanks. Me an all my friends are beginning artists (all at different levels) and always have questions,so we ask won another ,so when I found you. I sent them your RUclips videos and instantly subscribed!!! (O just a fun fact this is my 1st comment on RUclips ever. Lol)
Mr Terrell , I really learn a lot of this video.. I'm pretty sure that if you give to universe, you will definitely get something back! You ask a couple of times in your video..."What do you think...?? "... Mr Terrell I was thinking respect...!!! Keep up the hard work... Sometimes in life, the hardest the battle is, the sweetest the victory...!!! Keep smiling...!!! Thank you...!!!
Your work is beyond incredible! I have always drawn with the goal of the end product looking as realistic as possible, but I've recently gotten really bored with it. I don't know how I stumbled on your videos but I am so grateful I did! Your videos are inspiring and they make me want to broaden my artistic horizons.
That WAS nice; the sharing of your growth, to-date, as a person. So, thank-you! We ARE learning more than drawing skills from you. And, I like your "Chuckle". Your cat was hilarious, glaring at you in the background ("Notice me, dang it.", he says).
I LOVE that you giggled through most of this sketch. I enjoy watching you draw because you love it so much. It puts the fun back into doing it!! Thanks for the video =)
Your stories really inspire me especially this one!! I love your outlook on life and how you see people. As a student in art school I look up to you, thank you for this video it made me see things differently.
Thank you so much for opening up while doing these sketch videos. You just seem like a very loving and real person. Whenever I end one of your videos, I always want more! I've been taking your advice of including a story with every sketch, and my drawing has improved exponentially! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and talents with the world! Keep the videos coming!
Thank you so much for putting yourself out there. My partner came and watched one of your videos with me and said "he has one of those laughs you just want to laugh along with!" Which is completely true and as I've said before you are such a joy to watch and your advice really hits home for me. Thank you!
You seem like such a nice, friendly person Will... I was in a bad mood today and by watching a couple of your videos and listening to you talk, made me happier. Kinda felt like listening to a friend if you know what I mean :) Thank you for being such an inspiration.
I've thought about why what you say stick so much for me, and what i found out is the big difference between you and other ppl I go to for knowlege is that you always make me feel good afterwards. My whole life I bought books, talked to ppl, tried to learn "the secret of being a good artist" and it never worked. Infact I always feel worse of and more confused after going trough tutorials and what not, I feel like what I do is worthless compared, and I can try to copy, what they do, but it's just a worthless copy. I never been inspired to try to work on my techniques, and to learn outside of trying to draw a finished drawing from scratch to finish. Your videos make me wanna forget everything and just paractice, damn if it looks good or not. They make me wanna expierience it instead of just dreaming of how good of an result I can get. Thank you!
That bit about vulnerability and magnetism is really applicable to people and relationships. I feel like the more you open yourself up to others, like really earnestly and sincerely create that kind of atmosphere, then they will feel more comfortable and ready to open up as well, or at least appreciate the gesture. Gah, well anyway, your videos are good life-lesson material. Thanks for uploading (and sharing)!
Mr. Terrell, you are so great! I am new to the wonderful world of learning to..."Art". lol I've only been studying for about 5 months and I have gone through some patches of "wanting to give up", but your stories and drawings are so inspiring they have really helped me to drive myself to become a professional. Thank you soo much for all you've taught, and all you will teach! :D
Thank you so much for this video! I've been in such a ruddy funk lately and what you said about not being a burden to people really connected to something inside me. I haven't heard someone speak so genuinely in a very long time and it's refreshing to hear someone as friendly and bubbly as yourself talk about your own experiences that you've learned from. I really hope to adopt and nurture this wonderful perspective you've shown us, not only towards art but also in life. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks!
Will! I've subscribed for years and somehow missed this video! I want to thank you for being so vulnerable with us! You have such a good heart and soul! And I know this will help others as it helped me! Take care, my friend! ♥
You are really an inspiration, not just artistically, but as a person too. I'm realy gratefull for having you sharing these thoughts and personal experience with us over the interwebs! Cheers from Brazil!
More than an amazing artist, you are an example of life. You are a special person. God bless you, and keep it up with the good work. You have become one of my fav. artist.
Whenever I watch your videos, I find myself sharing it with art friends and other friends alike. Loved this video! Can't wait for the sketchbook ones. :D
Hey, thank you for what you said in the video about gratitude. I just lost my job, and it's the first job I was really taking seriously. Though I didn't take it seriously. I told the universe I would go to work every day and do my hardest but I stopped going to work every day because of my own shortcomings. I am very upset with myself, but what you were saying about self image and perspective, it sounds like a mirror image of my life. Thank you so much.
i have been subscribed to your channel for about half a year and i am excited for every video you upload. i think that the delays between your videos make each one of them more exciting. if you are going to upload more frequently please keep that in mind.
I'm so in awe of these sketch books, you're really diverse in your style and approach to drawing. Recently I finished a moleskine in just under 2 weeks and I just felt like I was on top of the world because previously it would take me about a year to finish a sketchbook. I'm so committed to drawing now and I've been doing people sketching for 2 weeks now too because of you. It's my new favourite thing to do and I can't thank you enough for inspiring me! I've already made so much progress and hope I can show you one day :) Have a lovely Easter weekend! Also, more people sketching videos please :D
You are awesome, and what your doing is equally as awesome. I've considered making videos like these countless times, but I'm far to much of a chicken to put myself out there, so I admire that you can. Keep it up.
Hey Will, I absolutely love your channel. Keep doing what your doing! You've inspired me to pick up my pens and pencils again. Ive been going through your playlists and you have a fantastic personality and it shines through on each video you make!!
Great video Lad! It was well worth the wait. Who knew that you had the same kinds of problems as the rest of us! The turning point; "Creating value for others"! Winning!!!
Thank you so much for posting your videos! I'm glad you decided to keep teaching; your videos have really changed my perspective on my art and at art in general. Although I don't draw in a comic book style, your videos help me realize the things I should do differently. Thank you for posting all of your videos Will! I hope that someday I can meet you and show my art to you! :)
I discovered your videos recently and they helped me so much while learning how to draw. I mean I'm no Will Terrell still but I improved and that is awesome. Thank you!
haha I love you Will :D You're having so much fun drawing and adding crazy little things to your work.... gotta love you x) keep going!! Spreed your love over the world
This was a very good video. I love to see how people work and your style is quite unique. It's so nice to see how you layered the colors and everything! Your videos are very fun to watch, it didn't feel like 45+ minutes at all. And thank you for sharing both your work and your experience. I loved hearing that story and admire that you took the time to share such nice advice. Sorry for bad grammar.
I just found your channel. You are very very talented and i enjoy the way you talk and laugh and generaly how you enjoy what you're doing. You're one of those guys i wish i could hangout with man!
This story makes me think of a few years back in school, I had to switch buildings and I didn't know anyone there. I became arrogant because I felt like I was better than everyone there. So I had no friends, I did no homework and I just waited to go home again every day, which was pretty depressing (but of course, my own fault). I managed to keep it up for half a year until my parents talked to the teachers about my grades, and they weren't, well.. all that bad, but they certainly weren't the best, because I simply didn't do anything or speak to anyone or whatever. So my father got mad at me and I began to realize that this school could give me so much, if I would do the same for them. My dad told me, not completely serious but still as a statement: "You know what I think you should do? I think you owe an apology to every single teacher in school." And I thought about it and then took it serious, made a list with all the teachers' names and I began randomly apologizing, like explaining what I did wrong (it was a different story for every class) and what I would do right from now on. And I just felt the gratitude from their side, and then from myself whenever I got into class, and I started working again, got very supportive friends and improved my drawing skills every day. And thankfully, I made it through that year and it helped me a lot to get further in life. Now I'm just very grateful for what that school gave me :)
i'm amazed by the fact that you keep finding all these interesting characters around you, i don't know what or who to draw if i go outside and try this myself. also you are my favourite youtube artist, keep doing videos please! :)
Will,you are very,very talented,and very funny person,I learned so many things from you,even I'm so young (actually,11 years old),anyway,I just love the... Kinda comic cartoon characters you draw,they're very awesome,and I hope you'll do more of those. Again,I love your drawings. Thank ya` for making `em!
I'm glad you've been having a good experience with the white gel pen, I bought the same exact one and it feels like it gets clogged every time I try to use it. I generally have to scribble on my hand a little to get it going. Anywho, great video, Will!
Totally loved this video, only just found you so you have a new subscriber and I have all the rest of your videos yet to watch. Learnt a lot on shading with markers by just watching you, thank you.
so many sketchbooks in so little time. I needed 2 months for an single notebook.. I'm jealous! I'll reach you, mr. Terrell. (luv your work, and videos, and personality X3) xxx!
So Will Terrel used to be a grumpy ungrateful egotist. You'd never know it. He tells you how he changed into a generous and grateful person while laughing and showing how to make hilarious drawings. Thank you Will. I think your getting the idea of just how many people you help and inspire.
Thanks for another great video, you allways manage to cheer me up when I'm feeling down. I think you should do a live people sketching episode, then you could interact with your fans and answer questions :)
I look forward to his laugh every time
Will Terrell you are a inspiration. You are the definition of an artist you really give yourself telling us your mistakes, teaching life lessons and giving useful art tips. People respond to your videos because you are genuine stay that way.
Your laugh is so contagious. Sometimes I find my sell just laughing because your laughing. I am not artist but I love to craft. I do like to draw for yield and you have taught me not to take myself so serious and just have fun with it. Thank you so much.

I, just, don't even have words to explain the difference you have had in my life for the last few months, weeks, days. Thank You! I could listen to you forever. Be you, always.

Im 15 years old and an aspiring animator and your characters have life and stories that I hope to have in mine someday. Your stories and drawings are always entertaining, thank you.
Your laugh and smile is absolutely ridiculously adorable! :D
I never tried to draw in my life, and recently I decided I wanted to learn. All of your videos encourage me to keep going and keep trying to learn.
I discovered your videos about a year ago, when I was in high school, and I am so glad I did. I didn't actually have an official art class dedicated towards drawing until I started going to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I consider you one of my first teachers.

I love this video. Thank you for making it. I know it’s been awhile, and you may not see this, but if you do, thanks and God bless you!
Hey Will...been watching you for quite some time and seen all your videos.
I like what you have to say and learn from watching you.
I'm an owner op/long haul trucker, been out here running the roads 30 years.
I'm down your way all the time. When the truck ain't moving I'm either sleeping, playing with my dog or drawing.
Anyway...thanks!
This is one of my favorite series. Ever. Of any genre. In fact this covers many genres I like: art, documentary, philosophy, comedy, action, indie, cartoons...!!! Thank you Will!
It's so cool to see your channel blowing up like it is (and so fast). Well deserved man...
***** No problem. I'm excited to see your new sketch books. Can't wait!
Your videos always make me laugh and smile, smile, smile! The way you laugh seems farmiliar in a comforting way. I don't know?! Your just so cool and your drawings are wonderful! Keep up the good work!
Hi Will Terrell! 10 years later and I still come back to your videos, they really mean a lot to me and have got me through some pretty rough times, thank you for your openess!
More then your art I love your laugh!
Keep doing what you do, I thank you.
From my perspective what you've done is you've romantacized being artist as a way of life, as an expression of not just one's artistic abilities, but as an expression of one's character as well.

not sure why I felt such a sense of relief to finally see you use an eraser ;)
luv ur vids.

Sometimes in life, the hardest the battle is, the sweetest the victory...!!! Keep smiling...!!! Thank you...!!!
Your words are so inspiring. Please continue posting more videos when you find the muse to do so!
This really helps motivate me to improve.
Watching those white lines go down is mesmerizing. Gotta get that pen
love your work and your out look on life. You are very interesting to listen too !!!!

I highly enjoy watching these during my free periods in class.
Your stories really inspire me especially this one!! I love your outlook on life and how you see people. As a student in art school I look up to you, thank you for this video it made me see things differently.
Thank you so much for opening up while doing these sketch videos. You just seem like a very loving and real person. Whenever I end one of your videos, I always want more! I've been taking your advice of including a story with every sketch, and my drawing has improved exponentially! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and talents with the world!

I loved the cat in the beginning of the video and this guy's laugh :D
+Pooja Patole Thank you, Pooja. :D
+Will Terrell this is awesome. I was thinking how cool would it be if you replied to my comment and you did !!! Have an awesome and wonderful life 😄😄
Pooja Patole You too, friend!
I've thought about why what you say stick so much for me, and what i found out is the big difference between you and other ppl I go to for knowlege is that you always make me feel good afterwards.

That bit about vulnerability and magnetism is really applicable to people and relationships.
I feel like the more you open yourself up to others, like really earnestly and sincerely create that kind of atmosphere, then they will feel more comfortable and ready to open up as well, or at least appreciate the gesture.
Gah, well anyway, your videos are good life-lesson material. Thanks for uploading (and sharing)!
YAA!
Your Art is Amazing!
Time goes by so quickly when I watch these videos...really inspiring! Thank you!
Mr. Terrell, you are so great!

I'm not even into art really, but you're great man! Definitely subbed!
I have leaned so much from your videos!! And I have been cartooning "professionally" for 45 years.
More than an amazing artist, you are an example of life. You are a special person. God bless you, and keep it up with the good work. You have become one of my fav. artist.
Whenever I watch your videos, I find myself sharing it with art friends and other friends alike. Loved this video! Can't wait for the sketchbook ones. :D
Hey, thank you for what you said in the video about gratitude.
I just lost my job, and it's the first job I was really taking seriously. Though I didn't take it seriously. I told the universe I would go to work every day and do my hardest but I stopped going to work every day because of my own shortcomings.
I am very upset with myself, but what you were saying about self image and perspective, it sounds like a mirror image of my life.
Thank you so much.
Keep making these amazing videos, Will! I share them whenever I can because they're so awesome!
i have been subscribed to your channel for about half a year and i am excited for every video you upload. i think that the delays between your videos make each one of them more exciting. if you are going to upload more frequently please keep that in mind.
I'm so in awe of these sketch books, you're really diverse in your style and approach to drawing. Recently I finished a moleskine in just under 2 weeks and I just felt like I was on top of the world because previously it would take me about a year to finish a sketchbook. I'm so committed to drawing now and I've been doing people sketching for 2 weeks now too because of you. It's my new favourite thing to do and I can't thank you enough for inspiring me! I've already made so much progress and hope I can show you one day :) Have a lovely Easter weekend! Also, more people sketching videos please :D
You are awesome, and what your doing is equally as awesome. I've considered making videos like these countless times, but I'm far to much of a chicken to put myself out there, so I admire that you can. Keep it up.
Hey Will, I absolutely love your channel. Keep doing what your doing! You've inspired me to pick up my pens and pencils again. Ive been going through your playlists and you have a fantastic personality and it shines through on each video you make!!
Great video Lad! It was well worth the wait. Who knew that you had the same kinds of problems as the rest of us! The turning point; "Creating value for others"! Winning!!!
You're a great teacher Will! I definitely try to incorporate your advice/teachings into my own life and drawings.
Love the laugh! its goofy but it is, as you say, authentic! XD
Thank you so much for posting your videos!
I'm glad you decided to keep teaching; your videos have really changed my perspective on my art and at art in general. Although I don't draw in a comic book style, your videos help me realize the things I should do differently. Thank you for posting all of your videos Will! I hope that someday I can meet you and show my art to you! :)
Your the man will. Thanks for th post and commentary. I really enjoy your stories and love the way you draw. Thats a really funny character.
I love your laugh and I love how you are so positive all the time! Also your great at teaching so I want to thank you cause I love your drawings!!
Thank you for sharing this much! P.S. Keep it light man, help others and have fun doing it, do not dare turn it into a burden for yourself!
I discovered your videos recently and they helped me so much while learning how to draw. I mean I'm no Will Terrell still but I improved and that is awesome. Thank you!
"nobody talks. especially when they're drawing" haha, this is so funny. But seriously, what a touching monologue... you remind me of Bob Ross, haha
Thanks man for inspiration.. .hopefully more video like this to come.. .
haha I love you Will :D
You're having so much fun drawing and adding crazy little things to your work.... gotta love you x)
keep going!! Spreed your love over the world
Love your work, look how far you've gotten, you are incredible Will!!
This was a very good video. I love to see how people work and your style is quite unique. It's so nice to see how you layered the colors and everything! Your videos are very fun to watch, it didn't feel like 45+ minutes at all.
And thank you for sharing both your work and your experience. I loved hearing that story and admire that you took the time to share such nice advice.
Sorry for bad grammar.
I just found your channel. You are very very talented and i enjoy the way you talk and laugh and generaly how you enjoy what you're doing. You're one of those guys i wish i could hangout with man!
This story makes me think of a few years back in school, I had to switch buildings and I didn't know anyone there. I became arrogant because I felt like I was better than everyone there. So I had no friends, I did no homework and I just waited to go home again every day, which was pretty depressing (but of course, my own fault). I managed to keep it up for half a year until my parents talked to the teachers about my grades, and they weren't, well.. all that bad, but they certainly weren't the best, because I simply didn't do anything or speak to anyone or whatever. So my father got mad at me and I began to realize that this school could give me so much, if I would do the same for them.
My dad told me, not completely serious but still as a statement: "You know what I think you should do? I think you owe an apology to every single teacher in school." And I thought about it and then took it serious, made a list with all the teachers' names and I began randomly apologizing, like explaining what I did wrong (it was a different story for every class) and what I would do right from now on.
And I just felt the gratitude from their side, and then from myself whenever I got into class, and I started working again, got very supportive friends and improved my drawing skills every day. And thankfully, I made it through that year and it helped me a lot to get further in life.
Now I'm just very grateful for what that school gave me :)
i'm amazed by the fact that you keep finding all these interesting characters around you, i don't know what or who to draw if i go outside and try this myself. also you are my favourite youtube artist, keep doing videos please! :)
Love your channel!
Brought art back into my life.
What an amazing person and great artist you are! I'm really happy I discovered your channel!
Will,you are very,very talented,and very funny person,I learned so many things from you,even I'm so young (actually,11 years old),anyway,I just love the... Kinda comic cartoon characters you draw,they're very awesome,and I hope you'll do more of those. Again,I love your drawings. Thank ya` for making `em!
Will, thank you. You are a real inspiration. You really a great man, and I hope to make art videos too some day. :)
I really enjoyed watching you sketch and watching the process you go through, really love what you were talking about.
Love your art style btw
I'm glad you've been having a good experience with the white gel pen, I bought the same exact one and it feels like it gets clogged every time I try to use it. I generally have to scribble on my hand a little to get it going.
Anywho, great video, Will!
Thanks for the video. I've have been feeling pretty low as of recently and your video really helps me reflect on my own attitude.
Wow, that white outline looks great.
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing the things you have learned/been taught. It takes a lot of courage to be yourself. :-)
But, of course! :-)
Watching this ......Will you so inspirational thank you for your recordings. Keep the good work going..
Totally loved this video, only just found you so you have a new subscriber and I have all the rest of your videos yet to watch. Learnt a lot on shading with markers by just watching you, thank you.
Hey will! I love your videos, i watch them while drawing, keep up the good work ! I hope you'll have a trip to france someday!
I'm very glad to see you back! Kindness always pays off for sure :D
so many sketchbooks in so little time. I needed 2 months for an single notebook..
I'm jealous! I'll reach you, mr. Terrell.
(luv your work, and videos, and personality X3) xxx!
Dude, you deserve all of your subscribers. You're an inspiration. I wish I had you as a teacher.
AND I TOTALLY WOULD HAVE GONE TO EVERY MEETING FOR THAT GROUP, SO SERIOUS. I wish they would do that in my town.
He is the joy of life for me.
So Will Terrel used to be a grumpy ungrateful egotist. You'd never know it. He tells you how he changed into a generous and grateful person while laughing and showing how to make hilarious drawings. Thank you Will. I think your getting the idea of just how many people you help and inspire.
i really get into your videos from what you have to say about life and art and the music intro is cool
Thanks for another great video, you allways manage to cheer me up when I'm feeling down. I think you should do a live people sketching episode, then you could interact with your fans and answer questions :)
