    I love this! So many people in the comments talking about how everybody can do this but I won't listen to them until I see their artworks and watch them sit on the floor writing for 3 hours straight and transforming it into a piece of art that speaks to them.
    She is just writing something over and over again. So what? How is it not art? I'm sorry to break it to you but drawing is just lines and more lines and together they form shapes and turn into something beautiful.

    Damn, all the comments are dedicated to the "misleading title". It's better if you watch the whole video before commenting on it, 1:36 "they start seeing me as the brush now". That's where the title came from.

    Hey RUclips, we hear you about the previous title (This Artist Uses Her Body as a Paintbrush) not being representative of the video. We looked at it again and agree with you. We've now changed the title to be something more representative. Thanks for all your feedback and for watching!

      @yoitsahmad 6 лет назад +6

      You're very kind. That said, your original title was correct because she is using her body to weave herself in all positions to accomplish her task. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people take things so literally. Thanks for featuring artists!

    Her art was mezmerizing to me. i was struck by her passion for her art to the point where shes stuck in an obviously uncomfortable position without rest for hours at a time writing such beautiful words. I wonder what it is that shes writing in urdu, and to be completely honest i was not ready for the coments under this remarkable video. Ignorant people are attracted to things they dont understand. Prejudice is a dangerous thing. Thats what i took from this comment section. Such a disappointment.

She's holding up her whole body weight with one hand and drawing with the other at one point which would be very painful. She's also not on a comfortable surface so if she loses her balance she's fucked.

      Twistymoo did you not hear her say how long it takes, think about it three hours in an extremely uncomfortable position creates pain all over her body, she never stops, not to rest her hand either. She also needs to make sure that the composition is balanced and not lob sided, it takes a lot to create a piece of art like this, so no not everyone can do something like this.

    • @joannecarroll5504

      Absolute nonsense @Lady Jones - you can be a vegan & still have a terrible diet. There are thousands of teenage 'vegans' out there living on 2-minute-noodles, hot chips & coke - it's ill-informed people like you who give vegans a bad name.
      As for the 'bad skin' issue - as a qualified professional Beauty Therapist who has studied Skin Biology; I would require a thorough consultation with any client who has skin issues, to discuss their health & lifestyle & examine their skin thoroughly so as to assess how best to treat their skin problems. So I sincerely doubt you could get to the root of any skin problem by just watching this video; FYI acne is not caused by being a vegetarian, & it is no more likely to be cured by becoming vegan than it is to be cured by eating chocolate. Skin issues like acne are caused by any number of things including pregnancy, puberty, contraception, illness, stress, environment, bacteria, lack of sleep & poor nutrition. Food is only a tiny part of the overall health & well-being equation & people with well-balanced diets DO still get acne - as do vegans.
