Hi there just a heads up! I just changed to a new editing program and there might be some weird colours here and there while I am still getting the hang of it! Went from Imovie to Davinci Resolve. Anyway, have fun drawing with me and I will see you next week
Dina Norlund, check out this link! I found a big whale shark plush at Amazon, and toughs it was something for you! Link: www.amazon.com/Vintoys-Hugging-Pillow-Stuffed-Animals/dp/B07C983NNB
Dina the first mermaid you showed the orange yellow colored one can you please do the same one using different shades of purple red and black since those are my all time favorite colors. I wish I could draw I would just draw it myself adding in the colors I adore.
My 10yr old son loves watching your creature design videos. You have taught him that it is okay to be original with your designs. He would love to see a drawing where you incorporate a blanket octopus into the design in someway. It would make his day. ♥️
We would love some more sketchbook stuff. Your art is really inspiring and it would be amazing to understand a little bit more of your process and practice
who else is a non artistic medium related person that comes this way to reconect to his human side ? for example i am en engenieer and this really makes me feel happy
Now that may is over... Will you participate in the June art challenge? It's called "Kaijune" (I don't know if you know it) and it's basically drawing a monster everyday (Kaiju - monster in Japanese)
Wait,, seriously? Im 30 days behind in Mermay I was going to continue it on in June or possibly July. Theres something for June as well???? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh No sleep for me thennnn
She is so pretty. I've been looking through your videos checking out your color process, but of course since it's Mermay again I think this is my favorite video so far.
Yes!!!!! Whale sharks are my absolute favorite, my goal is to see or swim with them one day. Your mermay design is my favorite thing!! Loving your art ♡
You're skilled in almost everything in art and it baffles me of how many little of subscribers you have. You have your foundations, and you know shape language, background design (interior PLUS exterior), color theory, expressions, poses, creature design, prop design I COULD GO ONnnnn. Anyways loved the video :D.
I've been super inspired by your videos, and when I saw your (and Drawing With Waffles') sculpting videos, I was hooked! So, I am currently working on my first sculpture while listening to this! It's gonna be a magical wolf!
some White gouache info for anyone who can use it! Zinc white is not as opaque and is used primarily as a mixing white Titanium white is the vibrant bright opaque white. Consensus from current studies says; titanium white is non toxic, while use some caution with the mildly toxic zinc white. Personally I use both for different things. I painted my last mermay (for this year) while watching! I like the look of mixed media and can enjoy a mix of watercolour and gouache but to each their own. My last mermay was a sturgeon fish based river dwelling merman as an example of a race of freshwater merfolk from my world of Imagiscria they are called: Vosawni. This sketchbook looks worth looking into! Fun video thanks!
I love your art and videos so much!!! Scree! I watch other RUclips artists too, but I feel like I adore your style the most. I could never get tired of you drawing mermaids. I guess the reason why I could watch these over and over again is because you tend to present your drawings a lot more creatively than other mermay artists do. I didn't get around to doing the challenge is year because of school, but I will definitely do it next year because of your influence on me and my art. Thanks for your hard and beautiful work 💕
I would love to see more creature design videos! They actually helped me out a LOT with drawing animals and stuff like that. I personally binge watch them over and over, and I’m always so excited when you post a new one!!!
I have been loving your MerMay ideas! Your combinations of creatures are simply wonderful! I encourage everyone to look up your Random Creature Design videos! You just kill it! and your Mermaids/men are fantastic too!
I just came across your channel recently and I'm absolutely in love with your art!!! You are so good and I'm actually learning how to watercolor painting from you painting!!! Your amazing and now one of my favorite artists! Keep doing what you do! Your amazing
I love your draw with me videos, it’s really nice to listen/watch when I work on my own art! I would love to see more character creation draw with me videos! Whether it’s human characters or creatures, I love them all! Do what you have fun doing :)
your characters look like they're moving. there is always such a good.. flow which is so hard to reach as an artist. love it! and love your whale shark person and its friends! 💙💙
i loved this series so much!! i love just watching you create pieces you love, that love just shows through and it makes such an enjoyable video! can't wait to see the vlogs!!
OMG she's so pretty ! ♥ You really makes me want to stuck out my watercolours and finally do something with them. Moreover, I purchased 2 illo sketchbooks that I haven't got the time to test yet... Keep it up, it's a wonderful work ! ♥
I love the non-human art you do. It's hard to find fantasy art "draw with me" videos, and mermay has been great for following along with that! I hope to see more videos like this!
I enjoy longer videos, 30 mins to an hour. I like having background noise while I work and dont have to worry about having to stop every 5 mins to find something else to "watch".
One of the first videos of yours I saw was redesigning Elsa's dress... I would love seeing some more character design videos and maybe a redesigning Disney princesses series. Love your videos!
Your mermaids are so good! The designs are very cohesive instead of the usual mash of totally human and totally fish halves I also love that you decided to add the little fishies with her! They're such cute little lads they just hitch rides and eat sharks' left overs, I love them
Whale sharks are my favorite sea creature too!! They're somehow both derpy and beautiful at the same time and I adore them so much! This video inspired me to make my own whale shark character!
this character is so cute!! I know I'm a few years late to watching this lol but your art is so lovely! I love your use of colours, especially the contrast of the warm and cool colours in this illustration
I LOVE this one Dina! It turned out so amazing and the little fishies are adorable haha. Congrats on finishing! Still can't decide on my favorite mermaid you've made...
@@DinaNorlund Yes!! I loved it soooo much, thank you for doodling it! I hope it's ok if I use it. My daughter absolutely loved hers too, she was so surprised
Hello, I am new! I started watching your vids to get some inspiration for my own drawings. Your style is so unique and gave me so many ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!
If you want to see a whale shark up close (swimming next to you) come to Ningaloo reef in Western Australia ! They come every year from March to August. 💕 we did a tour and got to see 5 different whale sharks!
I would really love to see a Q and A, because I'd love to know more about one of my favourite artists on RUclips! By the way your laugh is honestly adorable and makes me feel so happy ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Definitely with you with the love for Whale Sharks, and my partner picked me up a medium Whale Shark plush when he visited the Osaka aquarium. I named him Wallace and he lives on my desk to keep my company whilst I draw.

Bold of you to assume I don't want to watch you mix blues

Febufairy
Dont mind me im just stealing this quest
NIIICE! yes, please!
Faebuary ;3

I remember watching all of her Draw With Me videos on the weekends, wouldn’t be the artist I am today without them. We miss you everyday, Dina
We would love some more sketchbook stuff. Your art is really inspiring and it would be amazing to understand a little bit more of your process and practice
My garden:
Dina: "mer-made it!"
My garden: 🌷🌱🌹🌻🌼🍀
Haha cuuute! :D
I found your channel through the video with Waffles, and I’m so glad that I did, because I love your art! ❤️

Of course! I think your style is really cool, especially with the mermaids.
Same

Me too!
who else is a non artistic medium related person that comes this way to reconect to his human side ? for example i am en engenieer and this really makes me feel happy

Wait,, seriously?
Im 30 days behind in Mermay I was going to continue it on in June or possibly July. Theres something for June as well???? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
No sleep for me thennnn
@@adorky. Yes, I'm in that exact same situation haha! But then I saw that Kaijune is a thing, and well...:D
@@@adorky. There's junicorn, too. Nothing but unicorns for 30 days.
OMG, that sounds so amazing
Bruh I never knew that was a thing! It sounds so cool and interesting
5:42 that was soo satisfying
26:29- "Let's just PRETEND that that's dry."
People, Dina is so good that her art transcends time and physics.
She is so pretty. I've been looking through your videos checking out your color process, but of course since it's Mermay again I think this is my favorite video so far.
Yes!!!!! Whale sharks are my absolute favorite, my goal is to see or swim with them one day. Your mermay design is my favorite thing!! Loving your art ♡
Absolutely love your channel

just ordered my first ilo sketchbook!! thanks for the recommendation

I’d love to see Dina do the “draw the artist” thing like Waffles/Rin does

The pun in the title made me click 1000x faster to see the video, it was that good
I love all the little spots!! What a creative piece for mermay. :D
How do u draw people and animals so good?!?! Especially HANDS
Absolutely wonderful illustration!! I love the whale shark mermaid!! 😍😍💞💞💝💝
Yay! Your Mermay posts, videos and streams have been awesome. Excited for the art book. ^_^
Finally glad to find a channel with just drawing. Not too many challenges or limitations. Please keep doing what your doing. I love your art. 😊
I'd love to see more Draw With Me, Random Creature Designs and Sculpting/ needle felting videos!
So that's why your watercolor illustrations look like that... So nice, transparent but vivid! I'll try that.😉😄
I love that your mermaids are so untraditional!
I would have loved to do Mermay, but finals have come with a vengeance. I have loved seeing your posts on Instagram though!
Awesome video!
I think if you have anything else to do a month long challenge is super hard! Maybe you can doodle a few when you have time next year
I would love to see more creature design videos! They actually helped me out a LOT with drawing animals and stuff like that. I personally binge watch them over and over, and I’m always so excited when you post a new one!!!
I love your takes on what a mermaid looks like. I think yours are my favourite mermay designs!
I think it’s really cool how you get inspiration from Real Life. You make Mermaids much more interesting this way!
Oh my!!
I’m in love with her! Very cool artwork 🌸
I love the long videos to just chill out to or draw to. Such a cute illustration too
I have been loving your MerMay ideas! Your combinations of creatures are simply wonderful! I encourage everyone to look up your Random Creature Design videos! You just kill it! and your Mermaids/men are fantastic too!
Ohh I love Whale Sharks too!😄 They are so beautiful and wild!
I love your art so much and I love watching your draw with me videos. I like it when you do characters and animals. But whatever you do I’ll watch 💛

So cute and colorful!
I’d like to see more animal sketches :o I really like your simple style for animals!
I love the non-human art you do. It's hard to find fantasy art "draw with me" videos, and mermay has been great for following along with that! I hope to see more videos like this!
I enjoy longer videos, 30 mins to an hour. I like having background noise while I work and dont have to worry about having to stop every 5 mins to find something else to "watch".
Me: *watches this in October*
I just found these videos and fell in love with MerMay!! This really motivates me to create more videos for RUclips.
One of the first videos of yours I saw was redesigning Elsa's dress... I would love seeing some more character design videos and maybe a redesigning Disney princesses series. Love your videos!
She's so cuuuuttteee!!!! It's because of art like this that I'm so sad that mermaids aren't real. Love realistic mermaids.
gz Dina and thanks again for a really amazing and so inspiring month!! Stunning work and btw.. great title hehe :p :D
Aw thank you! :D
I really love this! ☺
Once you see those tiny fishes swimming upside down you can never unsee it
Good job on finishing it!
Omg you drew my favorite animal ever. I love you so much for this
Eu amo seu estilo de desenho 👏👏👏👏

@@DinaNorlund You're welcome! Your so talented sksksks
Hi! I’m new to your channel and I’m subscribed! I really love that you use watercolors and your style. You intro is so cute!
Your mermaids are so good! The designs are very cohesive instead of the usual mash of totally human and totally fish halves
I also love that you decided to add the little fishies with her! They're such cute little lads they just hitch rides and eat sharks' left overs, I love them
i was so missing the vlogs so im glad you mentioned that!! ♥
I love seeing you draw animal/human hybrids- like mermaids.
Whale sharks are my favorite sea creature too!! They're somehow both derpy and beautiful at the same time and I adore them so much! This video inspired me to make my own whale shark character!
I love you draw with me videos. I always draw along side you :D you're an inspiration. i've started my own graphic novel with your influence.
This is so cool! I love whale sharks too ❤ And watching your process is so inspiring 😍
this character is so cute!! I know I'm a few years late to watching this lol but your art is so lovely! I love your use of colours, especially the contrast of the warm and cool colours in this illustration
I really love these sea creators
And i love to see more don’t worry we’re not bored of it
Do what you like to do more 🌹
Saw whale shark didn't think twice, clicked on it right away. I freaking love whale sharks!
