A tip for shading colors is that if your light source is warm your shadow color will be cool. If the light source is cool the shadow will be warm. The actually true color of an object is only visible in between the shadow and light. Adjusting your hue when shading is important because it prevents your painting from looking flat. You should look at the form principle, it’s a great resource for knowing how light will interact with an object.
I love how much control digital art has, and having access to literally every color is pretty dang cool too. Oh and your favorite color never dries out. W00t! So many reasons to love it.
Omg this is so relatable I must started talking my art seriously and I hate when I can't get a drawing to look exactly like what I'm copying it from. Everyone says it looks good but all I can focus on is that one thing that makes it look different.
I don’t normally comment on videos but I feel like I must thank you for what you said in your video about improvement. I also tend to fall in the deep, dark hole of comparison with everything I do, and I get so discouraged because I am surrounded by these amazing and talented people. I was feeling especially down after playing tennis today, but after listening to your words I was reminded to take a step back from “competition” and just focus on myself and what my personal goals are. I hope that you continue to think positive and share your thoughts as they inspire countless numbers of people like me! Thank you ☺️
Your energy is seriously contagious. Just hearing you talk about how excited you are to create has ME so excited to create. Thank you so much for making this and sharing your process. I am also happy that you posted last week when you were down. It sucks to see you struggling, but it has made this video SO much more inspirational. I really needed this little boost today. You're awesome
am i the only one who is always watching waffles? you are such a big inspiration to me and your vids and tips ALWAYS help me❤️❤️❤️❤️ (and can you pleaaaaaase make a tutorial on how to use bullet nibs in markers?)
YASSSS when two of my favorites combine to become Loish Waffles I love this piece!!! ❤️❤️ the lines and color are AESTHETICALLY making me HAPPY! And it’s AMAZING!! ❤️❤️🎨🎨🥞🥞
This looks fantastic. I also have this issue with self doubts while doing drawing, and I think it is the amout of confidence in your abilities that causes those doubts, even though it is unnessesary since you are wonderful at what you do and have your own style. Keep up the incredible work, you and all other artists out there.
I love how it turned out especially her hair, I really like the color scheme and I really hope you'll do more digital painting videos because they're fun!💕
I love your advice for this video! It took me so many years to stop consistently getting discouraged that my art doesn't look as good or better than someone else's. It took years of reminding myself that I was still young and my parents tried to force me to quit art to stop thinking that way. Your advice is definitely extra helpful when following a Loish tutorial!! That womans art is out of this world.
"Art doesn't come easy to me, I just enjoy the process". PREACH. We have to realize that art is work. Anything great is work. All the best to you Rinrin Waffles.
So I’ve been a subscriber to your channel for around nine months but I haven’t watch this video until today and when i got to 7:37 I just felt like everything got so real and felt like you were describing my experience with art because I love art and so many people say that I have a serious talent for it but when I’m drawing or sketching there are times where I will just break down and stop believing that I can finish the project that I’m working on, like I don’t have the techniques to do so and so when I heard your words I just felt so incredibly understood and I have to seriously thank you for that and honestly I don’t care if you see my comment or not, I mean I would be so happy, but I do understand that it is highly unlikely for you to read this but Incase you do I hope you know that J mean every single word I said/typed and that you are one of my heroes and I will never forget what I have learned from you, you truly are an amazing person, not even, I don’t think there are even words to describe how much you mean to me so I hope you can continue to do your thing and be the amazing person you are
Diana Martins I'm sure there are plenty that are cheap on there but right now in my life I have to save every penny, XD and anything I do decide to put money towards would have to last me. Thanks for the tip though :) ❤️
I can't describe how happy I am for you that you're able to be excited about your drawings again! I'm also super grateful that you never stopped making videos for us, even though I know you really needed a break and weren't happy with yourself. I'm really glad you pushed through, and that you feel better now! You're an inspiration to all of us, so keep going! We love you! 🙌💓😝
The final piece is beautiful, and I would love to see more paintings if you're up to it! Thanks for the awesome video and I just wanted to say that I love ya
I've been really busy with school lately and have not been drawing as much as I used to. Watching your videos really helps inspire me to draw more and keep drawing even though it's not always easy.
This spoke to me because I love using digital art, but I'm still very new to it so i struggle with it. Especially how I look at my stuff and feel like it's not good enough compared to other artists and I know I shouldn't think that. And the struggle of not getting better fast enough. So seriously this video means a lot to me. Thank you.
You are so good at voiceovers!!! I'm new to the whole RUclips art channel thing and I am so lost when it comes to voiceovers, how do you make it sound so natural?
omg loish is one of my favorite artists ever! Started following her back in Deviantart days. I also attended her workshop in Hamburg not too long ago and hung out with her. She's so sweet and inspiring.
DrawingWiffWaffles yess! Had to get a ticket fast before they ran out since it was for free. Iva from Art Side of Life also had a workshop during that day :) I think loish only started doing workshops recently but she said she's planning on doing more in the coming years so maybe she'll attend a convention near your area so you get a chance to meet her too :)
I told my best friend who loves doing digital art to check out your content as she's been feeling a little bit low recently and burnt out from her Foundation Art Course at university. We all know as artists we are our worst critics and comparing the final piece with the original concept is a toxic habit that we have especially when we see others succeed in creating. I have just got out of this habit and I have realised that I should be inspired by others and the only thing I should compare my art to is my own. Waffles, you have been a major part in my journey to this realisation even though I don't do digital art or have any markers but my best friend has both! I figured, if I could get this level of happiness and confidence from your videos then she definitely will be overjoyed by the inspiration you give!
Waffles this is amazing!!! I always wondered how artists would make the “Lineart” look so trans fluent and not dull how many do it with just black. I noticed you used a different toned color that stood out but blended well with the whole color scheme of the painting. Nice!!!!
I know absolutely nothing about digital art and you inspire me to try and I'm terrible, but what devices and art apps and stuff do you use to make your digital art? I think that maybe if I try using the devices you use I can get better maybe 😂
Since your beginning I'd recommend to use a small tablet, wacom has the small ones for $80, huion may have a cheaper tablet. you can use medibang or firealpaca which are free programs to draw in the computer or if you have a phone or tablet you can use the app version of medibang, ibis paint ( another free program ) or clip studio paint, but that's a pay $10 a month to use type of thing.
I remember 3 years ago watching all of your sketchbook videos and seeing your progress and ever since have followed you along with myself along this whole art journey that seems endless. (it pretty much is hehe) it's been so so great to learn from you and look up to you as an artist and as a person. You've always been so encouraging to me! This is a great peice
What brush would you use for painting in digital art painting? I’ve tried several times but I can’t seem to find the brush or look most people do or the look I want. Can someone help with this?
One tip I’ve learnt when colouring digitally is always shade and highlight with the colours next to the base colour. (E.g if your shading a light skin tone in the orange hue range, shade with red and highlight with yellow, it makes the colour really pop!)
This was really inspiring! I've had a tablet for about 7 months and I never thought I was good enough. I finally came back around and started to do digital art. I actually feel happy with my art now and I'm trying to share it with the world. Thank you for helping inspire me!
I did the same thing. I gave up on it for months when I first got it, but loish inspired me to get it back out again and boy am I glad I did. Look at me now. Haha 8 years later.
I just wanna say I love your art, and I love how you talk about art processes (if that makes any sense) like, you always have motivational stuff to say and I love it. Your channel is honestly my favorite art channel.
I think the face is a tad bit too big (my bf says it looks funny cause the head and face have different angles but I think that if you make just the face a bit smaller it'd be perfect.) Aside that I think the illustration is very beautiful, I gasped when I saw you drew the fingers hahaha keep it up! You're such a good artist, I want to see more complex illustrations like this one in the future, you totally have the skills to do it. *^*
I followed Loish as a kid, adored her work! At that point I really wanted to be an artist as well, though my health went majority downhill in my teens and now if I do any art it's for fun and to teach my 7-year-old the basics of a handful of medias. Really brought back memories seeing this!
I think this is a landmark turning point for your art, regardless of whether or not you continue developing the painterly style. I cannot wait to see what you do next, and it truly warms my heart to hear that spark return in your voice.
I love this piece, it goes to show that you don't have to stick to only one medium, you can and should try different things to keep yourself motivated! I've personally done digital art for years now because my hands tend to sweat excessively and ruin everything I draw in traditional. I think you did a wonderful job
I'm a huge perfectionist as well, 'working through the ugly' as my mom says is super hard for me too and often keeps me from doing things that I know I'm not good at, haven't really tried, or anything that takes a lot of time. :') This was a really inspirational and motivating for me since I can 100% relate to the struggles and seeing/hearing you work through them and create a masterpiece at the end is truly amazing and makes me want to go out and do something different and to not let my perfectionism hold me back. Thank you so much for posting, this is really beautiful
Thank you SO MUCH. I had so many realizations throughout this video. I don't know what it is about your videos, but they always help me through the current art problems I've had.
Hey, waffles! I really liked how you talked about how you got through discouragement, and it really helped me to not get discouraged myself. I've been drawing since I was young but stopped as I got older because of school and all the homework. I have been trying to pick up the hobby again, but I don't get any ideas on what to draw or I get discouraged because of other artist that have more expirence than me. This helped so much!! Thank you, Waffles!
“Art doesn’t come easy to me...I just enjoy the process. “ profound statement! This is exactly how I feel about art. Love this video. Thank you for sharing.
This is beautiful, Rin! I’m the same way with digital painting. The idea of going in with color and blending my safe lines away is terrifying. And I’m a very impatient person when it comes to art, so when I do get over that fear and the middle stage looks like a mess, I get super discouraged and the file goes into my stack of unfinished stuff. Loish is super inspiring, but you inspire me even more! Every time I watch one of your videos and get that rush to draw anything and everything, and now you’ve encouraged me to keep at it when I’m attempting a painting. Thank you for paving the away once again! I can’t wait to see you paint more and I can’t wait to start painting myself!💜💛
I am very happy that you are so excited about your art for two reasons. 1. You're happy with your art, like you should be. YAY!🎉 2. The painting turned out to be so *beautiful!!* I definately wanna see more paintings sometime in the future.
Okay this was freaking amazing. I give up really easily on my own art and her tips about not looking at other art are great. But to see Waffles progressing through all of this herself is amazing to watch. All in all, the punch of inspiration was strong and keep it up!
Waffles, you are my biggest art inspiration and you are always so upbeat and funny in your videos that I’m always so excited to watch them. I absolutely cannot express how amazing this painting is and how much you and your art mean to me in general. Thank you so much for existing and helping me to continue drawing even when things are bad. Thank you, and I hope YOU have a delicious evening full of waffles :)
omg as a digital artist, this video makes me so happy! im really glad you enjoy the medium, like its very hard getting into it since it is easy to get discouraged but im glad you went through it till the end!
rin this is one of the most beautiful illustrations i've seen, not just of yours, but of all time i am so excited to see more digital paintings from you! you're really improving in your art and your excitement and motivation always motivates me and makes me smile i'm so proud of you! i wish i could give you a big hug but this message will have to do in place of that (i really do hope more people check out your channel, you're so kindly motivational and supportive it's lovely)
"I feel like" you described what everyone is thinking! :) Thanks for reminding us that we're all in a similar boat, and the support is there! Thanks for the post!
This has motivated me to try out digital again and to re think my drawing process in general. So thank you for all the advice and talking about motivation /process etc
You sure did do it. That looks awesome and I love that you explained your struggle not as like a lecture but as a personal experience that was fresh and exciting yet frustrating. Rock on
Congrats on getting through your rough patch! I'm so happy you found something that you want to work really hard for. Your art turned out beautifully and I'm excited to watch you improve in this new technique. You inspire me so much (I actually just cried while explaining to my mom how amazing you are) 💕
I freaking adore this piece Waffles. It's so amazing seeing you expand your talents and seeing your style in a different style (if that makes sense) It's definitely inspiring to listen to your experience with each artwork you make. It helps keep the dream of being an artist alive for me; a possibility
Thank you so much for the inspiration and help!😊 maybe i am the only one who think this but her art she did just now looks like the wind girl from lego elves!😄 I really love your art and I am a really big fan❤️
What got me into digital art was really just looking for backround pictures that I really wanted but I couldn't find any. So I drew my own not just that but a lot of my friends and RUclipsrs I'm obsessed with did digital art. So, it gave me that pusb
The advice in this is something I've only recently started to grasp- a fuzzy idea... Thank you so much for the advice, your videos have really given me inspiration
Aaaa, it’s so wonderful to hear you so happy and excited about art again!! So glad you had such a wonderful time making this aweosm peice! Love the awesome colors and details! It was a joy to watch!! Love your awesome work! 💖💖💖
You have absolutely no idea how much this video inspired me !!, not just loish,, but you!!! How you never gave up even when it looked messy at the start, I’ve been doing digital art for about 2 months, and before I wasn’t that happy with any of my drawings, and I didn’t finish them because I got so discouraged. But you helped me keep on going !! And my result wasn’t perfect.. but I’m quite proud of it!!! And you also introduced me to loish ( because as the ignorant child i am ) i Didnt know her😂.... but yeah thank you so much !!! Also your painting was BEYOND gorgeous ❤️ and if anybody wants to see mine it’s my icon. ! btw I used procreate so I wasn’t able to use color balance 😭.... so I had to use my inner artist color theory 😂(which to be completely honest kinda sucks😂😂) the whole process took 6 hours.... I hope I get quicker eventually 😂
Digital art is so much fun! When I got my first drawing tablet, I used it pretty much non-stop during my free time. :) Hope you continue to enjoy it and pick up tips! This painting turned out great!
This is so cute, I love everything about this drawing. ( Huge props to you for drawing feet, something I just cannot do. ) Lol, I'm dying over the way you color, it's amazing.
Got that happy art moment when designing home floor plans. Very different from anime and animals and d&d/pathfinder characters. But it was the only art i felt i could do after two years of artblock
holy cow! This gave me so much inspiration! I loved this much, I had always felt really discouraged by digital paintings and couldn't really get myself in the groove, but watching you do this just motivated the heck out of me!❤
your painting turned out amazing! I used to almost solely do digital art, but in the past 5 years or so I've stuck with basically all traditional.... but this makes me wanna try to do digital painting!! I am sure it looks way easier than the sped up version makes it out to be though 😭 great work waffles! 💕
Rin, I just want to say that you are sooo inspiring. I love watching your videos and I often find myself rewatching them a few times also 😅. I know that this isn’t your usual style and I know you said you’re new at it, but THIS. IS. BEAUTIFUL. You were talking about how it doesn’t look good to you at the beginning of the process and stuff and I’m just staring at it TRYING to see what’s off about it and I can’t. You did an amazing job and you’re such an inspiration. Thank you so much for doing these videos. Okay bye, I have to rewatch this now 😂
it turned out so great!!! you have been a huge inspiration of mine ever since i found your channel about a year ago, and finding out you have an auto-immune condition made me even more inspired because i have been struggling with a few auto-immune diseases for a few years now and your videos just make me so happy and keep me smiling! i hope you're doing well and are able to stay positive!!!
RIN THIS IS SO GOOD! You even managed to make me want to try digital painting, and I’m a traditional artist who swears by watercolours! I’m so happy you’re feeling better about your art and I wish you all the best regarding your heath!!
damn this was a punch in the face of motivation and inspiration 🙃
Loish is amazing, amiright!?
DrawingWiffWaffles
Your the best youtuber EVER! Don't let anyone or anything put you down because we love you the way you are!💖
DrawingWiffWaffles I absolutley LOVED this video! You should make moreeeee!!!
I agree, but no need to curse.
EmmaAnimations lmao there’s literally no cursing in that comment
"Comparison is the thief of joy."--Theodore Roosevelt
Sounds about right to me.
I LOVED this video so much! It made me so motivated and inspired and now I wanna digitally paint tonighttttttt.

I’m gonna use this advice! Thank you!
YES FOR DIGITAL ART 👏 it’s my favorite. I love it and this was so cute!! I love Loish’ work and I love yours too!
I love how much control digital art has, and having access to literally every color is pretty dang cool too. Oh and your favorite color never dries out. W00t! So many reasons to love it.
@@drawingwiffwaffles what software do you use to do digital art? Like is it Photoshop, Gimp, Adobe Photoshop, etc.?
Omg this is so relatable I must started talking my art seriously and I hate when I can't get a drawing to look exactly like what I'm copying it from. Everyone says it looks good but all I can focus on is that one thing that makes it look different.
I don’t normally comment on videos but I feel like I must thank you for what you said in your video about improvement. I also tend to fall in the deep, dark hole of comparison with everything I do, and I get so discouraged because I am surrounded by these amazing and talented people. I was feeling especially down after playing tennis today, but after listening to your words I was reminded to take a step back from “competition” and just focus on myself and what my personal goals are. I hope that you continue to think positive and share your thoughts as they inspire countless numbers of people like me! Thank you ☺️
Your energy is seriously contagious. Just hearing you talk about how excited you are to create has ME so excited to create. Thank you so much for making this and sharing your process. I am also happy that you posted last week when you were down. It sucks to see you struggling, but it has made this video SO much more inspirational. I really needed this little boost today. You're awesome
am i the only one who is always watching waffles? you are such a big inspiration to me and your vids and tips ALWAYS help me❤️❤️❤️❤️ (and can you pleaaaaaase make a tutorial on how to use bullet nibs in markers?)
A tutorial for bullet nibs... Hmmmmm
I WISH my art would be or come easy to me
i usually struggle on the clothing and body :/
Ahhhh twins im always watching wiffwaffles... I love her sooo much
Yara Momani You're not alone!

Gert Philips tbh
WE DEMAND ANSWERS

I literally punch it when I see a new waffles video (but not enough to break things, or I wouldn't be able to watch it!)
Just that Hufflepuff same
Love your username!
thanks!!!
how are all of your drawings so good?!! i can’t wait to draw like you one day!
YASSSS
when two of my favorites combine to become Loish Waffles
I love this piece!!! ❤️❤️ the lines and color are AESTHETICALLY making me HAPPY! And it’s AMAZING!! ❤️❤️🎨🎨🥞🥞
This looks fantastic. I also have this issue with self doubts while doing drawing, and I think it is the amout of confidence in your abilities that causes those doubts, even though it is unnessesary since you are wonderful at what you do and have your own style. Keep up the incredible work, you and all other artists out there.
I love how you are soooo honest about your art and talk about the negitives and not just the positives
Hey waffles! I just wanted to say that you inspire me a lot and I love your videos. Please keep going and stay happy! :D
Thank you! And same to you, keep drawing happy my friend!
I love how it turned out especially her hair, I really like the color scheme and I really hope you'll do more digital painting videos because they're fun!💕
I love your style and I was watching your watercolor vid and this popped up! Yay
Hehe thanks for watching two videos in one day! You're on a roll! 💜💜
Thx for replying
DrawingWiffWaffles you are one of my favorite artists! Thx again for replying! Ok I gonna just keep watching.
I love your advice for this video! It took me so many years to stop consistently getting discouraged that my art doesn't look as good or better than someone else's.

Your advice is definitely extra helpful when following a Loish tutorial!! That womans art is out of this world.
your art is so amazing, i love watching your videos so much! they motivate me to draw all the time.
I'm so glad to hear you are motivated! Keep it up!
"Art doesn't come easy to me, I just enjoy the process". PREACH. We have to realize that art is work. Anything great is work. All the best to you Rinrin Waffles.
Oooo I love your digital art :0
Definitely gonna go do a digital drawing now! Thanks for inspiring me~!
Yay! Shown me what you make! I'd love to see it!

HI 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 pertend the cheese are waffles because there is no waffle emoji
I love cheese. I'm eating cheese right now you wizard.
😂
DrawingWiffWaffles lol
🥞🥞🥞 we got pancakes
Pinkamina DianPie 🥞 are the closest to waffles
It makes me so happy to hear you're feeling motivated again and I can't wait to see what you paint!!
I love how this one turned out!
Omg, Glen Keane is such an inspiration. And his daughter too. Omg. I love them both so much.
DrawingWiffWaffles Same ❤️❤️❤️
Search on amazon or something, a girl srs found a 20 dollar drawing tablet
Diana Martins I'm sure there are plenty that are cheap on there but right now in my life I have to save every penny, XD and anything I do decide to put money towards would have to last me. Thanks for the tip though :) ❤️
MyArtJourney Get Medibang and practice with a mouse, until you can afford it, that's what I do.
I can't describe how happy I am for you that you're able to be excited about your drawings again! I'm also super grateful that you never stopped making videos for us, even though I know you really needed a break and weren't happy with yourself. I'm really glad you pushed through, and that you feel better now! You're an inspiration to all of us, so keep going! We love you! 🙌💓😝
The final piece is beautiful, and I would love to see more paintings if you're up to it! Thanks for the awesome video and I just wanted to say that I love ya
I've been really busy with school lately and have not been drawing as much as I used to. Watching your videos really helps inspire me to draw more and keep drawing even though it's not always easy.
You did so good Waffles and I can relate to a lot of what you said
This spoke to me because I love using digital art, but I'm still very new to it so i struggle with it. Especially how I look at my stuff and feel like it's not good enough compared to other artists and I know I shouldn't think that. And the struggle of not getting better fast enough. So seriously this video means a lot to me. Thank you.
You are so good at voiceovers!!! I'm new to the whole RUclips art channel thing and I am so lost when it comes to voiceovers, how do you make it sound so natural?
The Artsy Writer Probably it helps she has done million of videos like this ♡ Good luck!
Yeah, my first videos were crazy awkward. You just gotta practice. Don't be afraid to post the awkward ones tho. That way you can track your progress.
DrawingWiffWaffles they aren't nearly as awkward as mine! 😂 Thanks for the tip though, I love your work so much it is a huge inspiration to me! 💕
The Artsy Writer mine are super awkward as well... It wasn't until I listened to myself speak that I realised how many "so" 's I use! (Oh well)
omg loish is one of my favorite artists ever! Started following her back in Deviantart days. I also attended her workshop in Hamburg not too long ago and hung out with her. She's so sweet and inspiring.
Omg you met her! That's amazing! I would love to go to one of her workshops!
DrawingWiffWaffles yess! Had to get a ticket fast before they ran out since it was for free. Iva from Art Side of Life also had a workshop during that day :) I think loish only started doing workshops recently but she said she's planning on doing more in the coming years so maybe she'll attend a convention near your area so you get a chance to meet her too :)
woahh haha never heard of "Loish" before but at least there's a new vid 💕💕
You need to check her out.
DrawingWiffWaffles but first i have to watch your vids firstt 😁
Loish draws one of the best and cutest 'nose' out there. :)
Love your pfp! 😊
I told my best friend who loves doing digital art to check out your content as she's been feeling a little bit low recently and burnt out from her Foundation Art Course at university. We all know as artists we are our worst critics and comparing the final piece with the original concept is a toxic habit that we have especially when we see others succeed in creating. I have just got out of this habit and I have realised that I should be inspired by others and the only thing I should compare my art to is my own. Waffles, you have been a major part in my journey to this realisation even though I don't do digital art or have any markers but my best friend has both! I figured, if I could get this level of happiness and confidence from your videos then she definitely will be overjoyed by the inspiration you give!
Legend has it that if you put legend has it in your comment RUclipsrs *might* notice you
I do see a lot of those comments. So seems legit
seems legit
Waffles this is amazing!!! I always wondered how artists would make the “Lineart” look so trans fluent and not dull how many do it with just black. I noticed you used a different toned color that stood out but blended well with the whole color scheme of the painting. Nice!!!!
I know absolutely nothing about digital art and you inspire me to try and I'm terrible, but what devices and art apps and stuff do you use to make your digital art? I think that maybe if I try using the devices you use I can get better maybe 😂
Any digital tools work roughly the same. But I use an old Intuos 3 and photoshop cs5.
Since your beginning I'd recommend to use a small tablet, wacom has the small ones for $80, huion may have a cheaper tablet. you can use medibang or firealpaca which are free programs to draw in the computer or if you have a phone or tablet you can use the app version of medibang, ibis paint ( another free program ) or clip studio paint, but that's a pay $10 a month to use type of thing.
Devices don't necessarily make a good artist check out kkumri on insta, she used to use the cheap wacom tablet and made great art pieces!
Y. Chavez Thank you for the suggestions!
Also, try to get the free ones first to see how you like digital art. Then, you can go to the more professional ones like procreate.
I remember 3 years ago watching all of your sketchbook videos and seeing your progress and ever since have followed you along with myself along this whole art journey that seems endless. (it pretty much is hehe) it's been so so great to learn from you and look up to you as an artist and as a person. You've always been so encouraging to me! This is a great peice
What brush would you use for painting in digital art painting? I’ve tried several times but I can’t seem to find the brush or look most people do or the look I want. Can someone help with this?
From what I discovered, it's either the oil painting brush or the water painting brush.
One tip I’ve learnt when colouring digitally is always shade and highlight with the colours next to the base colour.
(E.g if your shading a light skin tone in the orange hue range, shade with red and highlight with yellow, it makes the colour really pop!)
ooh
Yup
So pretty 😍 I used to think that traditional art was the only way but this just made me want to try out digital art 🙏🏽
Digital art is the bomb diggity.
When my art doesn’t look like someone else’s work or how I want it to look i don’t get discouraged I get stressed ;-;
Okay ... You really inspired me, you truly inspired me to keep going in the skill that I'm learning now
Hi😊
Hey😊
This was really inspiring! I've had a tablet for about 7 months and I never thought I was good enough. I finally came back around and started to do digital art. I actually feel happy with my art now and I'm trying to share it with the world. Thank you for helping inspire me!
I did the same thing. I gave up on it for months when I first got it, but loish inspired me to get it back out again and boy am I glad I did. Look at me now. Haha 8 years later.
Am I allowed to challenge you to the MS paint challenge?
i hope..
Smol Blossom *allowed
I just wanna say I love your art, and I love how you talk about art processes (if that makes any sense) like, you always have motivational stuff to say and I love it. Your channel is honestly my favorite art channel.
I think the face is a tad bit too big (my bf says it looks funny cause the head and face have different angles but I think that if you make just the face a bit smaller it'd be perfect.) Aside that I think the illustration is very beautiful, I gasped when I saw you drew the fingers hahaha keep it up! You're such a good artist, I want to see more complex illustrations like this one in the future, you totally have the skills to do it. *^*

I followed Loish as a kid, adored her work! At that point I really wanted to be an artist as well, though my health went majority downhill in my teens and now if I do any art it's for fun and to teach my 7-year-old the basics of a handful of medias. Really brought back memories seeing this!
WHO IS THAT ONE PERSON WHO DISLIKED
I always appreciate your upbeat attitude thank you
Yay!! I love ur videos!!! （＾∇＾）
Thank you!
I think this is a landmark turning point for your art, regardless of whether or not you continue developing the painterly style. I cannot wait to see what you do next, and it truly warms my heart to hear that spark return in your voice.
First!
I love this piece, it goes to show that you don't have to stick to only one medium, you can and should try different things to keep yourself motivated! I've personally done digital art for years now because my hands tend to sweat excessively and ruin everything I draw in traditional. I think you did a wonderful job
looks like instagram user tasia.m.s art style.
love it!
I'm a huge perfectionist as well, 'working through the ugly' as my mom says is super hard for me too and often keeps me from doing things that I know I'm not good at, haven't really tried, or anything that takes a lot of time. :')
This was a really inspirational and motivating for me since I can 100% relate to the struggles and seeing/hearing you work through them and create a masterpiece at the end is truly amazing and makes me want to go out and do something different and to not let my perfectionism hold me back.
Thank you so much for posting, this is really beautiful
Do you live in the Waffle House?
Nah. I live in THE waffle house.
😂 lol
Thank you SO MUCH. I had so many realizations throughout this video. I don't know what it is about your videos, but they always help me through the current art problems I've had.
Hey, waffles! I really liked how you talked about how you got through discouragement, and it really helped me to not get discouraged myself. I've been drawing since I was young but stopped as I got older because of school and all the homework. I have been trying to pick up the hobby again, but I don't get any ideas on what to draw or I get discouraged because of other artist that have more expirence than me. This helped so much!! Thank you, Waffles!
I love how honest you are about art and skill vs talent. Like aaaa thank you!
Its gorgeous!! I love how even though you painted it like loish, you still maintained your style at the same time and the combo is FABULOUS!!!!
That bit about trying to make something the best you can make it really helped me today, you are such a motivation to me thank you! 💘
This looks so beautiful, its so inspiring and makes me want to practice digital painting more!!
“Art doesn’t come easy to me...I just enjoy the process. “ profound statement! This is exactly how I feel about art. Love this video. Thank you for sharing.
Art doesn't come easy to me, I just enjoy the process.
Is now my favorite quote.
Drawing with waffles is the best!
This is beautiful, Rin! I’m the same way with digital painting. The idea of going in with color and blending my safe lines away is terrifying. And I’m a very impatient person when it comes to art, so when I do get over that fear and the middle stage looks like a mess, I get super discouraged and the file goes into my stack of unfinished stuff.
Loish is super inspiring, but you inspire me even more! Every time I watch one of your videos and get that rush to draw anything and everything, and now you’ve encouraged me to keep at it when I’m attempting a painting. Thank you for paving the away once again! I can’t wait to see you paint more and I can’t wait to start painting myself!💜💛
I am very happy that you are so excited about your art for two reasons.
1. You're happy with your art, like you should be. YAY!🎉
2. The painting turned out to be so *beautiful!!* I definately wanna see more paintings sometime in the future.
Okay this was freaking amazing. I give up really easily on my own art and her tips about not looking at other art are great. But to see Waffles progressing through all of this herself is amazing to watch. All in all, the punch of inspiration was strong and keep it up!
Waffles, you are my biggest art inspiration and you are always so upbeat and funny in your videos that I’m always so excited to watch them. I absolutely cannot express how amazing this painting is and how much you and your art mean to me in general. Thank you so much for existing and helping me to continue drawing even when things are bad. Thank you, and I hope YOU have a delicious evening full of waffles :)
Waffles just has the most relaxing voice that I can feel so calm listening to!!!
omg as a digital artist, this video makes me so happy! im really glad you enjoy the medium, like its very hard getting into it since it is easy to get discouraged but im glad you went through it till the end!
rin this is one of the most beautiful illustrations i've seen, not just of yours, but of all time i am so excited to see more digital paintings from you! you're really improving in your art and your excitement and motivation always motivates me and makes me smile i'm so proud of you! i wish i could give you a big hug but this message will have to do in place of that (i really do hope more people check out your channel, you're so kindly motivational and supportive it's lovely)
"I feel like" you described what everyone is thinking! :) Thanks for reminding us that we're all in a similar boat, and the support is there! Thanks for the post!
This has motivated me to try out digital again and to re think my drawing process in general. So thank you for all the advice and talking about motivation /process etc
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read ‘Loish’. HELL YEAH THIS IS THE QUALITY CONTENT I SUBSCRIBED FOR JSJDJDJSHDJ
You sure did do it. That looks awesome and I love that you explained your struggle not as like a lecture but as a personal experience that was fresh and exciting yet frustrating. Rock on
Yay digital!!!! I hope to see more of your digital art!! Love ya 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Congrats on getting through your rough patch! I'm so happy you found something that you want to work really hard for. Your art turned out beautifully and I'm excited to watch you improve in this new technique.
You inspire me so much (I actually just cried while explaining to my mom how amazing you are) 💕
Your enthusiasm for art is so contagious. I love watching your videos so much because they make me so motivated and inspired to draw!~
I freaking adore this piece Waffles. It's so amazing seeing you expand your talents and seeing your style in a different style (if that makes sense) It's definitely inspiring to listen to your experience with each artwork you make. It helps keep the dream of being an artist alive for me; a possibility
Thank you so much for the inspiration and help!😊 maybe i am the only one who think this but her art she did just now looks like the wind girl from lego elves!😄 I really love your art and I am a really big fan❤️
Back again for this masterpiece of a video. The one that got me where I am today in digital art …… thank you so much waffles
What got me into digital art was really just looking for backround pictures that I really wanted but I couldn't find any. So I drew my own not just that but a lot of my friends and RUclipsrs I'm obsessed with did digital art. So, it gave me that pusb
The advice in this is something I've only recently started to grasp- a fuzzy idea... Thank you so much for the advice, your videos have really given me inspiration
Aaaa, it’s so wonderful to hear you so happy and excited about art again!! So glad you had such a wonderful time making this aweosm peice! Love the awesome colors and details! It was a joy to watch!! Love your awesome work! 💖💖💖
You have absolutely no idea how much this video inspired me !!, not just loish,, but you!!! How you never gave up even when it looked messy at the start, I’ve been doing digital art for about 2 months, and before I wasn’t that happy with any of my drawings, and I didn’t finish them because I got so discouraged. But you helped me keep on going !! And my result wasn’t perfect.. but I’m quite proud of it!!! And you also introduced me to loish ( because as the ignorant child i am ) i Didnt know her😂.... but yeah thank you so much !!! Also your painting was BEYOND gorgeous ❤️ and if anybody wants to see mine it’s my icon. ! btw I used procreate so I wasn’t able to use color balance 😭.... so I had to use my inner artist color theory 😂(which to be completely honest kinda sucks😂😂) the whole process took 6 hours.... I hope I get quicker eventually 😂
Digital art is so much fun! When I got my first drawing tablet, I used it pretty much non-stop during my free time. :) Hope you continue to enjoy it and pick up tips!
This painting turned out great!
As much as you may be struggling, your art and style are an inspiration to me.
Thank you. I'm so glad to hear that. It means a lot.
This is so cute, I love everything about this drawing. ( Huge props to you for drawing feet, something I just cannot do. )
Lol, I'm dying over the way you color, it's amazing.
I'm quite proud of those toes. Hehe thanks!
Got that happy art moment when designing home floor plans. Very different from anime and animals and d&d/pathfinder characters. But it was the only art i felt i could do after two years of artblock
holy cow! This gave me so much inspiration! I loved this much, I had always felt really discouraged by digital paintings and couldn't really get myself in the groove, but watching you do this just motivated the heck out of me!❤
your painting turned out amazing! I used to almost solely do digital art, but in the past 5 years or so I've stuck with basically all traditional.... but this makes me wanna try to do digital painting!! I am sure it looks way easier than the sped up version makes it out to be though 😭 great work waffles! 💕
Rin, I just want to say that you are sooo inspiring. I love watching your videos and I often find myself rewatching them a few times also 😅. I know that this isn’t your usual style and I know you said you’re new at it, but THIS. IS. BEAUTIFUL.
You were talking about how it doesn’t look good to you at the beginning of the process and stuff and I’m just staring at it TRYING to see what’s off about it and I can’t. You did an amazing job and you’re such an inspiration. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
Okay bye, I have to rewatch this now 😂
it turned out so great!!! you have been a huge inspiration of mine ever since i found your channel about a year ago, and finding out you have an auto-immune condition made me even more inspired because i have been struggling with a few auto-immune diseases for a few years now and your videos just make me so happy and keep me smiling! i hope you're doing well and are able to stay positive!!!
WOW! This is such an improvement on your past art videos. Love this style, I hope you keep doing digital paintings!
This -was- , is inspirational! Makes me feel so much more confident with my art ! Thank you so much !
RIN THIS IS SO GOOD! You even managed to make me want to try digital painting, and I’m a traditional artist who swears by watercolours! I’m so happy you’re feeling better about your art and I wish you all the best regarding your heath!!
