I love those little deer. When you got the face on the first one I just giggled and shook my head. When you added the purple and then started the second deer, I was astounded. Girl, you have got the funniest and best gift!
That’s okay. I’m glad you enjoy watching! If you ever want to try, you don’t need to fix them up at the end. It’s more about getting started and having fun with it even if it’s a scribbly mess. ❤️😊👍
Yay! A new video. I absolutely love your vids. I'm 54 and your videos have given me such confidence to draw big and loose and I adore how your pics start so basic and you go back and go over them. They all turn out amazing. I use my Neos a lot more now and I have asked for Woodies for Xmas! MAKE MORE VIDEOS! love your giggles too.
I sometimes watch/listen to your videos while working, and today I caught my husband off guard because I'd been watching the 2 minute exercise of the wooden reindeer, looked away, and when I looked back you'd completed the finished version which was a huge difference! I didn't know stabilo woody white could with that way, and I was so impressed by the progress (it turned out really lovely!) that I yelled an expletive. ☺️ Well done, you! Lol
I think the nutcracker is my favorite! I would recommend the pentel water brushes, especially for detailing. The water doesnt flow out without squeezing hard, so you have a lot more control when going over the crayons 💓
Really was fun and I was sketching with a friend, I like them all but the nutcracker was my favorite, thanks Heather, we sketch every Sunday with you, so much fun, have a great Sunday. ❤ ❤
Oh my ,Girl! They are all sooooo good. Is it weird that I watch a heap of your RUclips Till about 11pm then I’m up getting ready for work and watching again at 6:30am. Obsessed 🤪
🤣 🥰 Trust me, I’ve been there too! I love finding YT channels that I enjoy! I hope you’re getting some good creative time out of it. Happy Binging! ❤️😊👍
I absolutely love all of these! I also love listening to you talking as you are drawing. The crown on the nutcracker finished piece is spectacular! I can’t pick a favorite as I love each one. I need to try this! ❤❤❤
Hi well it’s the first time I had a sort of go at this,I found it hard and I’m not a bad drawer.I only managed to do the cup and the horse and deer,lol they don’t look as good as yours,but two minutes goes fast.and I’m a very neat drawer.😂😂 fun though.thanks.
You’re so right, 2 minutes goes very fast! Thanks for giving it a try! I’m glad you had fun with it! Remember, I’ve done this more than 100 times at this point. I’m sure you did great for your first time! Also, it’s more about waking you up and getting your creative mind in the right place. The result is just a bonus if it turns out good. ❤️😊👍
I love this. Have us guess again on some art, that’s so fun! My sister does this with me. We will come up with something and give ourselves like 20 minutes to draw or paint it. I think she cheats though. 😳🤫 😂
I love all the finals, and I thought the streaks on the green jacket looked great. I can't figure out how you created the snow on the reindeers' heads, whose antlers by the way are perfection!
I got a 10 pack of Stabilos today. I also ordered a 10 pack of Caran d'Ache Classic Neocolor II that is coming tomorrow. I only got 10 because I need to start using everything I have.
I hope you’ll do more Christmas or holiday ones, these were all great today. My favorite was the two wooden ornaments (?) Horses I think. I couldn’t see the eye on the one of the left, I think it got covered with the snow so I liked the other one better. They were so cute, weren’t they Heather?! You did a wonderful job on all of them though. ❤❤❤
I think they are supposed to be reindeer. They look a bit more like moose to me. I agree, I like the one with the clear face better! Thanks for sharing your favorite! ❤️😊👍
I love your 2 minute warmups and they have made me want to try to improve on my drawing skills which I did not have any lol but I’m definitely getting better thank you ❤merry Christmas 🎄
You turned to that rocking horse, I thought, "In 2 minutes? Really??" But you totally pulled it off!! 👏👏 All of these draintings are really cute!! 🥰 You really challenged yourself!! 🤗😍 Ok, so Hobby Lobby paper doesn't work with this medium well. What is the best kind of paper? Brand preference?
The Master’s Touch “Mixed media” paper is really decent for the price (I usually get it 40-50% off sale price) I just really like the Molskine sketchbook paper the best so far. It just behaves really well overall with the Neocolors and Woodys. I like using the Strathmore watercolor paper too. I would like to try them on more kinds of papers eventually. I just know I won’t be using this sketchbook with them going forward. 😅
so this is totally self indulgent, so pls ignore it if it's too much: could you pls make a separate playlist for your 2min exercises. if im not mistaken, they're under Sketchbook Ideas atm. since one can save an entire playlist, imo it's the best way to bookmark an artist. i really don't wanna lose you in the sea of artists that i follow. especially cz we use the exact same mediums and supplies, i want to get used to not using a pencil and doing exactly what you do w Neocolors and Woody's. ps. have you ever tried Etegami style paintings w art crayons? traditional Etegami is w watercolor but the concept of "simplifying the object to its basic shapes and characteristics" can be extrapolated and executed w other mediums n you kinda do that to begin w ty, you're incredibly invaluable 🌟
I sure can! It definitely makes sense for them to be in one playlist at this point. I’m glad you’re enjoying them! I haven’t heard of Etegami before. I’ll have to look it up. ❤️😊👍
@artbyheather can I also make another request, pls: im not great at drawing but i really like the exercises you do. do u mind doing a session where to turn your scribbles or 2 min exercises into abstract/perspective/geometric shapes. the mathematical and formulaic aspect of abstract/perspective/geometric art makes it easier to emulate for novices. it's much easier to turn a scribble into cubes, as oppose to a tv, even tho both are essentially the same basic shape. i find if i do exactly as you do, I'd have to find a reference for what i would want to turn my scribbles into, which leads to searching online, distraction and procrastination, breaking the flow. i don't mind if my art isn't aesthetically pleasing as long as i have fun doing it AND i learn something but i need direction. (I can't believe that im still employing the same ADHD preventive techniques as i did 15 yrs ago in college. lol)
I thought the same thing! I looked up the information and it just says it’s good for markers, pen, and ink. Which makes sense. It’s very similar to Bristol paper. 😊👍
That was fun. I’d like to do more of those. Hopefully , more interesting subjects. Animals? Trees? Flowers? Buildings? Faces?
Heather, you are freakishly amazing!!!
Thanks! ❤️😊👍
I love those little deer. When you got the face on the first one I just giggled and shook my head. When you added the purple and then started the second deer, I was astounded. Girl, you have got the funniest and best gift!
Thank you so much! I surprised myself on that one too! ❤️😊👍
I love seeing your challenges. I don’t join along because I wouldn’t know how to fix the drawings at the end. Loving your work x
That’s okay. I’m glad you enjoy watching! If you ever want to try, you don’t need to fix them up at the end. It’s more about getting started and having fun with it even if it’s a scribbly mess. ❤️😊👍

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos and gaining confidence! I’ll definitely keep them coming. ❤️😊👍
It looks amazing 🤩🤩
I loved loved loved it this time 🥺🥺🎀🎀🎀💕💕💕 the moment you played dance of the sugar plum fairy❤❤❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️😊👍
I really enjoy your work. Whether it’s the intuitive paintings or the 2 min warm ups. I look forward for your upcoming projects. 1,2,3 go
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy the channel! That means so much to me! ❤️😊👍

🤣🤣 That’s great! I’m glad you liked the results! ❤️😊👍
I love the music on this video! Warmups are the greatest videos!!
Thanks! It was harder than I thought it would be to find good free holiday music. I’m glad you enjoyed it! ❤️😊👍
Another super fun video to watch, the transformations from 2 minute sketch to finished work of art is just amazing, you really are a wonderful artist!
Thank you so much! Practice definitely makes progress! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ❤️😊👍
You amaze me everytime I watch you.. It's like you have me hypnotised by your talent. 🎉🎉
Thanks! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos! ❤️😊👍

TFS🎨 ~ I love them all! Nice job!
Thanks! ❤️😊👍
No worries, about the paper. The end result for all of them was great. Yes, be happy with your creations.
Thanks so much! I’m very happy with the results! ❤️😊👍
I love this. Have us guess again on some art, that’s so fun! My sister does this with me. We will come up with something and give ourselves like 20 minutes to draw or paint it. I think she cheats though. 😳🤫 😂
🤣🤫 I’m glad you both are having fun with it! I’ll have to do another guessing one soon! ❤️😊👍
When I saw the photo for the last spread I was nervous for you, but it turned out so well!! Love the snowy icy bits. 👌🏻
I was nervous for me too!! 🤣 I just thought they were so cute, I had to give it a try. I’m glad you liked it! ❤️😊👍
I love all the finals, and I thought the streaks on the green jacket looked great. I can't figure out how you created the snow on the reindeers' heads, whose antlers by the way are perfection!
Thank you so much! I used the white of the paper and the purple background color to shape it like snow. ❤️😊👍
Oh I think your videos are great. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
Thanks! That really means a lot to me! I’m glad you enjoy them! ❤️😊👍
I got a 10 pack of Stabilos today. I also ordered a 10 pack of Caran d'Ache Classic Neocolor II that is coming tomorrow. I only got 10 because I need to start using everything I have.
How exciting! I hope you enjoy using them as much as I do! ❤️😊👍

ty, you're incredibly invaluable 🌟

the mathematical and formulaic aspect of abstract/perspective/geometric art makes it easier to emulate for novices.
it's much easier to turn a scribble into cubes, as oppose to a tv, even tho both are essentially the same basic shape.
i find if i do exactly as you do, I'd have to find a reference for what i would want to turn my scribbles into, which leads to searching online, distraction and procrastination, breaking the flow.
i don't mind if my art isn't aesthetically pleasing as long as i have fun doing it AND i learn something but i need direction.
(I can't believe that im still employing the same ADHD preventive techniques as i did 15 yrs ago in college. lol)
Is the paper Bristol, do you think? I have a couple of hobby lobby sketchbooks and they’re Bristol paper
I thought the same thing! I looked up the information and it just says it’s good for markers, pen, and ink. Which makes sense. It’s very similar to Bristol paper. 😊👍
