I just love how you don't try to hide anything I mean just showing us a complete process video of making a planner....I don't think there are many illustrators out there willing to show us that and walk us through the steps .. And yet here you are...just casually being an angel and teaching us everything! I can't even being to explain how much I love you and appreciate your videos.
Thank you Ashmitaaaaaaa! ToT
Aaaaaa you replied!! Sooo much lauve!! *tears of happiness*
Fran Meneses la que dibujaste es la creadora de star versus las fuerzas del mal
YESSSS!!!! Exactly my thoughts!💖 Fran is the best!! 😍 Most artists and illustrators are so secretive about such things, they even say not to ask where they get things printed or how the have things made. 😓 It's so weird like they are afraid new artists would steal their buisness?? At least that's the only reason I can think of that they are being so stuck-up. 😅
just for the 10 min mark
Hahahha I loved how you were holding hamburguesa's tail and using it like when you use hands to express yourself hahahha. I couldn't stop laughing. And hamburguesa's tail like yeees human I will stroke yer face during your video hahah best part! And I know that feeling when you observe someone and you're just like omg they're the most awesomest looking people in the planet and take stalker pictures of them and then draw them hahaha. Thank you for making me feel not alone in this weirdness!!! hahaha Saludos a hamburguesa, cereal y Ed! cheeers!
:D thank youuu Eriiii! I'm trying to film Hamburguesa and Cereal more often, I need to show the world how cute they are
Fran Meneses yaaaaas pleaaase! There's no such thing as too many cat videos. #WeWantMoreCerealAndHamburguesa
i love the old man design! he looks like a character that wouldn't talk, but be very expressive with his beard and eyes.
"I want to give you guys some tips" casually wacks a tail on her face
babbly em. I just lost it at this part. So funny.
babbly em. now that you mention it i just replayed its part and laughing hard 😂
😂so unintentional but soo funny
I had to pause the video and scroll down just to see if anybody commented on this. :'D
i laughed so hard
Watching you drawing while drawing is the Most satisfied thing in the world, Fran.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gosh, this might be my favourite video of yours. Mostly because i know that feeling of HAVING to draw someone on the street because of their awesome looks and aura, and seeing you do this was so exciting and lovely. and you sharing the stuff you're not as proud of, or even embarassed by, is so encouraging and supportive. youtube is full of 'perfect' drawings and the pressure of doing ANYTHNG perfect at the first try is so immense and dammaging. I appreciate your honesty and transparence so much! and the mix of little beautiful shots of your sorroundings and you casually talking is so charming. Oh! and ! I always, always love just watching you draw, you don't have to apologize for letting us sit with you and watch you do that ! it's the best.
love xx
pattern-pals I really agree with your comment😄❤️
Honestly when you were talking in the mirror and your cat's tail was flying around I couldn't stop laughing
You should ask the cafe if they will post your drawings somewhere! Maybe those people will return, and they can have the amazing experience of recognizing themselves in your sketches. Your variation in line weight is so beautiful with those Prismacolors.
I don't usually comment but I just had to this time! I love all your videos but this one was especially important because seeing you challenge yourself and showing us the result (which you think is not perfect but I think is stunning) despite being embarrassed gives me hope and motivation to do this in my own life. I'm not an artist but I'm a PhD student and its really hard to move projects forward sometimes because even though you are passionate, you get too self conscious to get feedback on drafts or practice writing. I really admire that you are modeling behaviors that encourage people to take risks and keep going even when you're not perfect at whatever it is you are trying to do!
kmaya1024 I love what you're saying about how these skills apply to life outside of art. So true.
OMMGGG Thank youuuuu! WOW PhD!!!!! * o * you can do iiitttt!!!!!
Thanks for the encouragement!! I'm just trying to try :') I can't wait to see the planner when it's done!
I loved that you showed the sketches you weren't quite proud of, really reminds all the self-conscious artists that even their fave artists are not perfect.
OMG, are you kidding? Your drawing of the old man was amazing. I adooooored it. This video filled me up with inspiration. I kinda feel it in my stomach. Does that make any sense?
stracciatella it makes plenty of sense. And me too!
Need to start a support group for us peeps who work from home but spend all day staring at/loving on our beautiful fluff cats. 😻
Cada vez que veo un video tuyo me URGE dibujar!
ahh the sound of colored pencils so soothing
When sun doesn't light so well, when the sky is kind of sad, and I'm not really motivated with the world, all this kind of videos, really human and full of love and spontaneity , makes me feel really good and motivated!!
After watching your videos I always feel way more positive and motivated! You are that type of person who radiates positive energy and spreads it everywhere ! Kisses!
A FRANNERD PLANNER??! I can't wait!
A "franner" :'D
yes!!
yay! :3
You are my favorite artist on RUclips. Thank you for sharing your whole process! You are so incredibly talented!
such a fantastic video, I loved how you showed your process! that group of characters was just asking to be drawn. wow.
What fantastic and strange strangers! I adore these characters, maybe you'll use them in some future graphic novels!
Fran you're and always will be such an inspiration to me. Every time I want to quit drawing, when I scroll through your Instagram feed or RUclips videos, you just ignite that passion in me once again. Thank you for being so sweet, genuine and inspiring to people globally including myself.
OMG Just Hamburguesa's Tail as a pointer was the highlight of my week jajajajajaja thanks for that!!!!😹❤️😻
I've been watching you since you started your channel and I still get excited when I see you've uploaded a video. They're always so helpful and informative. Youre like the cool art teacher i never had (because i never went to art school lol). Thank you, Fran. You're one of my biggest inspirations.
That cat man! Love your illustrations girly!!! LOVE YOU!!!!
tus vídeos siempre me transmiten una sensación de tranquilidad que me encanta ~ son muy acogedores y bonitos, muchas gracias por tu contenido 🌻🌸
i used to make my classmates as illustrations just to tease them...but now after watching ur video i think i shall try for more ppl n with some stories[not sure]....but thank you...love ur style...which is very genuine ...n love ur work.. thanks for being with us.
Ah this is so pure and beautiful 💖 The place you live in is so beautiful.
Hi Fran!
Your approaches for those character designs were fantastic! Just as you mentioned, you caught the essence of all of them. Obviously translated to your own style, but they look pretty cool, though. I also agree with the idea of sketching different aspects of a character in order to come with various results, and picking what you like the most then. A good tip for those creativity mind blocks we the artists tend to have from time to time is: life is the most amazing and accurate tool we could've expected ever, because it gives us tons of good stuff to work with (people, for example! :D ). So, yup! I know exactly what you're talking about, LOL! XD
Well, thanks so much for another interesting journey of your life! And we'll be waiting for more.
Have an excellent week!
Blessings!!
I had to comment on this video because you are simply the best artist I have ever seen. Your drawings are just beautiful, and you are my artist role model, because I love the way you are so open about this stuff, from planners to old sketchbooks to good ol' marker talks. Thank you so much for these videos and keep up the amazing work.
Yay! I am SO buying that planner! And seriously, those people need their own movie. I'd so watch a Ghibli movie with that character design :D Also really liked seeing the "evolution" of sketching the old man. I have a tendency to give up after the second sketch if it doesn't turn out how I want it to, which is really frustrating sometimes, so it's so nice that you show that everyone struggles with it sometimes :)
I love your videos you are giving me so much inspiration to paint and draw. I have so many art supplies but often don't even know what to paint and I love your style so following along many videos and drawings you do
Seeing your video encourage me to draw again with colour pencils! 💖
OMG IN LUV THAT UR EXPLORING THE PENCILWONDERSSS
what you did with hamburguesas tail is so funny 😂
i am excited for my next trip to a coffee shop. drawing characters might be fun, and honestly it will be a learning process for me! but i am ready to capture the essence of people!
YESSS!!! A planner!! You made my day!
Gracias por esto señorita Fran su técnica y el proceso me encantaron gracias por estar aquí en youtube❤❤❤
The colouring pencils add such lovely texture to your illustrations Fran! It really suits the majestic-ness of your style!
I loved how you said 'rescuing the essence of this person' when trying to create the character. Put so beautifully and makes SO much sense.
Can't wait to see your planner too! :D
Yesss draw with colored pencils more!!! Your drawings look even more alive because of the texture
I think using strangers as making characters is great
However I'm bit effy about posting their picture directly on the video. I know it is not illega and not mean any harm, you did not actually ask for permission to post it.
If I see that someone posted my picture online which I did not realize it was taken, I would feel very weird and violated and I am worried they might feel the same.
If you do similar kind of video, how about drawing their face on top of it so it at least cover their face but we can still see parts of them?
Hi Frannerd ! I think that's one of the most "powerful" video you have filmed so far.
I LOVE the use of color pencils ! BEAUTIFUL !
I am totally going to get the planner! Everything you make is so cute and nice !!!
You are hands down my uttermost favourite youtuber! I love the aesthetics of your videos, your relaxing way of talking to the camera and your cute and funny drawings! You inspire me to get over my laziness and produce art myself, and your tutorials and explanations inspire me to learn new techniches and try out new things and I'm so grateful to you for it!
i am sure you've answered this already at some point, but may i ask why you film yourself on a mirror? just curious
Fran, you are just a role model!
I LOVED that you drew with pencils! It looks sooooo good, even the first sketches, honestly!
You're so freaking talented! You really captured their essence (at least what I could feel from the photos, I bet their aura was way more palpable in real life!) Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips you provide, you're one of the main reasons I took a short illustration course and am now considering going into 2D animation, but I am very rusty (took a long hiatus from art due to lack of confidence and motivation) so I have lots of practice and catching up to do!
"Turn off the phone and draw what you remember." Right after you finished saying that you didn't have anything to teach us. Even when you don't say anything and you just let us watch you draw, I learn from you. It doesn't have to be an explicit teaching moment. As a teacher though, I do appreciate that teaching takes energy and works better when you are explicit about it, but I learn from you whether you're trying or not.
Siempre me alegras el día con tus videos, de alguna manera son muy relajantes. ¡Gracias por compartirlo con nosotros, Fran!
I love how you used the coloured pencils. Those characters came out nicely with them.
Reaaaly loved it! Thank you Fran! Just enjoying watching you draw!
Such a wonderful video! It's so great that you were struck with so much inspiration by the eccentric table next to you, and the drawings are beautiful. I especially like the differing weight/thickness of the outlines and it was so pretty watching how you layered the colors. I am constantly struck by how great of a video maker you are too, because you have so much talent already with illustration and also in presenting yourself on camera, but from a purely cinematic stand point you also have such a great style and make such casual but also visually interesting choices in your videos. I was so glad when I found your content, am so happy to be a patron, and am always excited to see what you do next!
Fran, I adore your illustrations so much! Your depictions of the old man are incredible. They're so cute and quirky and his mustache is the very best part!
I'm so excited to see you're making a planner, too! Will it be an open-dated planner?? I've always loved planners but I am so scared to buy them because there are certain weeks and months I don't use them and I feel like I waste the beautiful planners I own. I like the idea of open-dated planners because I can use all the pages up when I have a busy schedule and lots of notes.
From what I could see, your planner looks perfect and adorable, I can't wait to see the final product!
Your videos are pure eye candy ✨
Your ilustration style is GOALS, incredible!! Hope to learn as much as possible in your videos. Thanks
That squishy fluffball on the chair is adorable.
The final result of your drawing of the old man looks so cute!
Also I'm always wondering where you got your awesomely low table. I was looking for something similar here in germany but couldn't finde one.
i would love to see a video about how you render facial features to fit your style. i tend to really admire more simplified, cartoon-type styles, but i have a hard time editing down all the details i see and am tempted to draw. and when i do simplify my drawings, i cant seem to capture a likeness and they all look the same. but your characters are all so simple yet unique, and also look like the subject. you do it so well! i'd love to see how you do this, maybe using yourself as an example (since you are the character we get to see most in your illustrations). thank you for all the amazing videos and artwork!
This video makes me wanna draw immediately! Nice to see you use colour pencils too. It's relaxing watching you colour :)
Amazing video, Fran! I totes agree with you about the strangers you saw - they look so interesting and mysterious!
Your videos are so inspiring! Thank you for being so transparent with your process,it really helps to understand how every awesome thing you make is done.
SO READY TO GO BROKE AND BUY YOUR PLANNER!! 😍😍 watching u draw with colour pencils is so therapeutic btw
Been having a hard time lately, but this video made me want to draw and I always feel better when I draw. Thanks Fran!!
Loved this video FRAN! One of my favourites by you!
Fran, you are the best! I'm looking forward to watch the behind the scenes planner's video! I just got your print in the mail this week! Loved, of course. You deserve all the success you're getting. Kisses from Brazil!
oh thank you Brunnaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
I love the old man - he is so CUTE! =)
Thank you so much for always encouraging me with your videos. Btw ;-)
Love your illustrations! Greetings from Germany
Frannerd, you are just so fun to watch-whimsical and cute cats ;) Thanks for entertaining me tonight
I was feeling kinda down, and to cheer myself up I watched this video, and now I feel so much better! Your videos are always so soothing :)
I love the pencil drawings! They have great texture.
Please make more of these! I love the idea to do this! I constantly see people I feel like I should do but I never do 😂 Then I forget the details on what they looked like
Frann, me gusto mucho el resultado que le diste a la ilustraciones usando lápices de colores, me alegra que busques nuevas técnicas para mostrarnos.
This was so cool to watch! So nice to see you coming out of your comfort zone. I loved the "old man". Certainly my favorite!
... oooh fran, this was brilliant! seeing you get inspired is so inspiring in itself, i will definitely be keeping an eye out for interesting characters on the street - top tip for illustrators (or writers) in an "inspiration slump"! your coloured pencil style is beautiful, it makes the drawing more tactile and three-dimensional in a way, gives it more depth, i think you should definitely keep it up if you enjoy it :) xx
I love how you gesture with Hamburguesa's tail while you're talking that made me laugh
I loved watching this! I often go out sketching and I always get frustrated that my people don't look like themselves... my I should not try to copy them, but get down my first impressions of them and to stylize them more. Thank you for this eye-opening video!
I'm a total freak of the planners, I usually spend my time all december and january looking for a good one, because usally planeers are very boring and have sad colors and buy one on Internet is a good option but with the chrismas presents mail got very slow on that part of the year so I'M VERY HAPPY to know you're gonna do a planner, I'm sure is gonna be the best planner I've ever have, thank you for the bottom of my heart.
That was so amazing :0 you brought so much life to those drawings! I love it, and I love how you transformed your inspiration.
This video is sooo good! And really inspiring. Thank you for making videos like this!
This was such a fun and inspiring video!! 💕Thank you for not hiding the process. It's weird but when I see someone's process and it includes parts they are embarrassed about, I never really judge the sketches they don't like. Like I can see the difference between the first and final sketches, obviously. But I dunno, I just never have a judgmental reaction. Plus, it makes your final pieces more impressive, and when put side by side, you can tell what was most important to you when trying to capture these strangers on paper. It's great to know that for everyone, there's still always trial and error, and everyone feels a little embarrassed sometimes. Cos I feel that way all the time, heh. Also it totally makes me want to go out and draw strangers 😍💕💕
THE PLANNER VIDEO i'm sooo excited for as I'm planning to make my own planner for school again (for the second and last time) 🎈also soo cool since the first planner was already inspired by your style 🙏🏼✨🌼✨ thank you for everything 🎏
Who even dislikes your videos?!? I'll never understand. I love everything you do!
Its always fun to watch your videos Fran! You really answer so many questions we beginners have in our mind. Thank you so much!!Looking forward to your next update!
I really wanna thank you Fran... I'm depressed but every time I look at your videos I feel a bit better.
I totally recommend painting a light wash in watercolour and then playing with colour pencils on top of that. It creates such cool effects ^_^ Awesome character studies, great job!
jajajaj me ha encantado este reto que te has propuesto!!! Molaría como nueva sección de tu canal! "Strangers into Characters"
Okay, I really love how you used colored pencils in the video. Ah.
。我们都
I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOUR PLANNER, IT'S EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED
I haven't even seen the planner yet but I already feel like I NEED it.
SO EXCITED FOR YOUR PLANNER
Wait I am so excited for this planner!! mostly because there are so many sucky planners (okay and good ones too, but more rare) in this world, I know yours will be amazing.
This brings me joy! Thanks Fran ❤️
I really loved this video, Fran!! :) and it was super cool and interesting to see you using colored pencils!! Really liked all the expressions in ur character drawings.
The colour pencil textures look super cool with your style. 👌 I feel like drawing strangers now 🤔
You're so inspiring, I hope you know that cuz I really appreciate how authentic you are! I really wish to be the same, try to be as real as I can with my viewers. So thank you! Love you! ❤️️✨
your drawings are just amazing! I wish i'll have a real style like yours, I'm hypnotizing when you draw and by your talent!
Your videos can't be too long
You are my fav. Illustrator! I love your paintings!!! ❤️
Where can I buy your friendship book?
I loved just watching you quietly draw, Fran. Thanks for sharing this with us ;) hugs from Sydney
Omg I’m obsessed with your art style
This video was absolutely lovely fran! Colored pencils are awesome and the textures, gradients you made with them give a new depth to your style. I love it. Seriously! XD
Thanks for the advice and keep up the great work.
