The way she addresses her issues is so mature. God bless you!
welcome back, missed your vid´s. hope you feel great soon
Omg as soon as i saw kattvalk i clicked straight away.
Also i really enjoy watching your scrawler box and speed drawing commentary videos😊
Welcome back. Missed you. My sincerest condolences for your loss, having lost my mother a few months ago, I understand how devastating this can be. I am also sorry for the loss of your job and think it's a great idea looking into the field of illustrating childrens books as you have an amazing ability. As for ideas, personally I am not an artist, I couldn't draw a straight line to save myself. So why do I watch your channel... it's the way you present yourself, I came across your channel by accident and your utube name caught my eye and I just stayed. I love the way you express yourself and I just love watching your abilty to create amazing drawings with so little tools. So to expand I can't give you any ideas but for myself I would love for you to share your life away from the art table. I watch Baylee Jaye on utube for the same reason, only watch some of her art channel but she has a blog channel where she shows a little of her life. I find it fascinating to see how another part of the world lives. Hugs little one, small steps.
Hi fellow highly sensitive person :) welcome back. Thank you for sharing 💕 you have been through a lot and it is so good and important that you took the time to take care of yourself.
Welcome back. We missed you so much . Love from India
"I don't like to see other people"
Katt is living my dream life!
Joke aside, I'm so glad you're back and I hope, you'll still doing fine and will be okay in the future.
We'll always have your back, your art is lovely and so are you ♡
I really like speedpaints and listening to you just talking about your life, or just rambling!!♡♡♡ welcome back girl ♡♡
You were missed this last months welcome back 🌺 😊
Hope get well soon.
I love the speed drawings and storytimes :) And challenges are always fun to watch!
you would be such a wonderful illustrator for children's books.
a fulltime illustrator in general.
Welcome back! I missed you a lot 💕
Could you make a video about getting ideas what to draw or getting inspiration?
And please don't stop doing unboxings!
Welcome back, Marie. We missed you so much .
So sad to hear the bad things that happened to you.
Keep on drawing and sketching.
We all love you.
Love from Karin (Germany)
Uff, I’m so sorry to hear all of that. Let’s hope things get better for you soon!
I’m usually interested in videos about character design, scrawler boxes and tutorials!
I like art challenge and review vids that have speed paints in them.
One I recently saw was using every marker you own in one image.
Oh, and I love seeing your adorable cats!
Yay! You’re back! Thank you for letting us know how you’ve been! I’m hoping everything starts looking up and gets better for you. I really like your subscription unboxings, challenges, redrawings of past art...
Ah, you are back, I have missed your videos alot! You were first youtuber I have ever followed and I will be happy with everything you post! I love you and your art!
And usually videos I like to watch are art videos with stories and talking. I mostly like to hear people talk about everything they come up with. And I hope you will find the videos YOU like to do, I will love everything you are gonna do!
You ARE BACK! YASSSS....I really missed your videos and I'm glad you are back again. I know it's easier said as done, but don't stress yourself and doubt what you are doing. You, your art and your effort is appreciated by lots of people and we love what you do so much!
Welcome back Kat! I like your storytime doodles, unboxings and tricks and tip series!
Welcome back 😊
I love your unboxing+drawing videos! That's the main reason I'm here :) and also speed drawings with some storytelling.
Wish you luck! 🍀
I really love your art box unboxings, they are so cool inspiration and lovely to see, what you make with other artsupplys.
Welcome back and lovely grating from Germany ❤️
glad you are back! I enjoy videos of you simply drawing with those mystery box supplies while reviewing them. Oh! and art tips. Lots of art tips.
So glad you are back!! I’m so sorry for your loss of a relative, and loosing your job, twice...
I would love to see tutorials!! Unboxing art subscription boxes are always fun to watch. More personal videos would be great too!!
So happy to see you again!
I love sketchbook tours, speedpaints with storytimes, drawing challenges, unboxings/testing new supplies and that kind of thing, honestly I'd watch pretty much anything from you
I like the unboxings, challenges and trying new supplies. As long as we get to see you work we're happy. Also you should do what makes you happy! Xxxx
Welcome back Marie! ♥
We missed you and your art so much. Those artworks are awesome as always! I hope everything is gonna be ok from now on
I just want you to know that you're my biggest inspiration. Your videos are always make me want to draw or practice more.
Keep up the good work! Love from Hungary ♥
welcome back!!
I enjoy your art challenges videos, testing new art supplies, and anything you do with your cats (theyre so cute and lovely)
Thank you for coming back.👍
I like the artbox opening.
I hope you get well! I have been watching your videos since 2014!
Great to see you back Marie❤❤❤. You're so brave openly discussing you're issues with us, and if it helps, sketch with me videos are great
I love to watch Art Studio Tours, Sketchbook/Art Journal ideas and fun challenges that are maybe a bit out of the ordinary. I remember that I really loved your video with the cat hair brush! :D
Thank you for sharing all that! I can really relate on being sensitive and overthinking things. I'm currently reading the power of now by Eckhart Tolle and even though what he says sounds a bit over the top and super spiritual, he's definitely got a point. Trying to stay in this particular moment and letting go of past and future events that I currently can't control helps me tremendously. :)
Good morning from Greece! Welcome back I want to test supplies see you draw with that and unboxing videos! I am sending you good vibes!!! 🌸💐🌺
So glad you're back!! Love you so much. I would endlessly watch you illustrating & sharing stories!
I love when people test new artsupplies or test things out of their confortzone, I really want to help you!
Welcome back! we really missed you and I'm very happy for you that it's going better with your life situations. Good luck on making more videos, cant wait! 💕
Glad to have you back!! Your art is great! And thank you for being transparent with us. The first step of healing and getting better is acknowledging that there’s pain and addressing it head on so I applaud you for that. It takes a lot of strength and courage to especially admit it on your RUclips.
I would have to say my favorite type of art videos to watch are different challenges. Like:
-one color challenge
-art prompts
-drawing others art in your style (it may help you get in touch with your subscribers more)
-random character design (spin the wheel for different topics or let your followers decide)
Different things like that. But I look forward to seeing more art from you. Don’t beat yourself up too much. Go at your own pace because this world really tries to move too fast sometimes.
I like a mix of everything art reviews, art boxes I'm not that keen on slow videos. Move up beat. Glad to be watching again. Remind people to like the video half way through as I normally forget.
Welcome back! Thank you for being honest about your mental health, when you talk openly about it you help yourself and others. Sending positive vibes from Brazil!
I love timelapses of drawings/paintings, trying new mediums painting, construction paper, shadowboxes, etc. Drawing hybrid animals, drawing challenges (art styles, restricted palettes, upside down, inverted colors, etc.). There is a whole world of things out there to try!
So grateful that you are back! I missed your video's! I understand how you felt, I went through that as well at a time. I love it when you mix your idea up. having something different each time makes me come back every time. One day a speed drawing, next day a scrawler and review, another day a tutorial. I love all of it (and you) you are an amazing artist! Keep it up!
Sketchbook tours, Challenges, & real time videos.
i love unboxings, art challenges, watching people try new supplies, but also just watching ppl work with what they know best to make some great pieces :^) (also, whenever im anxious, art restoration videos are really relaxing!) i hope you get better soon, its great to have you back!
You have no idea how much inspiration you gave me just by coming back- been watching for years - thank you for helping 9 year old me continue drawing and current me to pick it up again
Welcome back! ❤ I personally like any of your videos, but I like art supplies reviews the most! I also think reviewing absurd art hacks *might* be helpful for the algorithm :)
I'm so glad you're back!
My favourite type of video is probably speedpaints/real time videos of art witha story being told in the back ground
welcome back ! personally i enjoy watching people design characters/worlds based on a subject matter that they enjoy because people talking about what they love is the best!
I love your cat picking your art supplies, scrawler box unboxings, and storytime drawings
My favourite videos of yours are when you draw with voice over. Your art is beautiful, and your voice is very calming for me. I’m sorry your year has been such a mess. I’m cheering for you!
Welcome back! We missed you and worried about you qwq
Sorry to hear so many bad things happened to you
I hope you will regain ground under your feet soon ❤️
Glad to see you're back! Watching people draw helps motivate me to make art as well. Something that's very popular right now is the "draw this in your own style" challenges! Especially if you draw your sub's art, it really boosts interaction! Good luck with the house, and give your cats a pet for me 💕
I'm glad you took the time to gather yourself and even more so that you are back! :) This is probably not too helpful since you said you're not a very chatty person, but the videos I'm most likely to watch are longer art related videos such as storytime and draw with me type things where it's comfortable to draw as well and not stare at the screen the whole time. Other than that I really enjoy collabs and honestly anything where you are really exited about what you are doing.
I did miss you, and last week I realized you hadn't been on in a while and was worried about if you were ok. I'm so glad you are back and am sorry that things have been rough. My family has also been having various members having problems steady since last fall. And thankfully everthing has turned out ok so far, but I totally understand how stressful and paralyzing that can be. I'm glad you are starting to feel better and to get excited for new things. I honestly like most art related things: speed paints, sketches, challenges, unboxings, testing supplies, hearing your ideas, and hearing about what's going on with you. I really like watching people make the art they enjoy doing most because they get in the zone and their happiness really shines through and it is just really inspiring and uplifting.
I'm so glad to see a video again! I understand why you dissapeared for so long, it sounds like such a stressful year! As for content that i like to watch the most, i love art studio tours! And i love learning art tips and tricks. I have always loved scrawlrbox videos (i JUST got a subscription-1st box arriving soon!) I do enjoy real-time drawing, and hearing thought processes as an idea develops into a finished project.
What i think draws me to your art is the BEAUTIFUL and unique angles and line art.
I hope you find a peace with all the stress you have been through-i know recovering from an extended period of mental anxiety and stress seems impossible, but keep your chin up, and know that your art and videos are inspiring and enjoyed ❤
I really like unboxings like this one- creating finished pieces from sketch to ending with some talking etc is my favorite.
I am here because I love your Art-Style and I am so happy that you are back. my Condolences for your loss.
But besides that I love Book-related and Movie-related Movies, maybe you could talk about the Movies or TV-Shows you watched during your Voice-over or make some Fan-Art about that Shows and Movies. Talk about what you liked, what you didn't like.
Oh and I really love it when Sally chooses your Artsupplies and Themes for a Picture, Sally is so cute
Nice to see you back. All types of art videos, challenges (art and crafts), unboxing, videos by theme (ex: only markers, only watercolor, etc.), décorations, videos with your cat (like when your cat chose your supply or when you made a paintbrush with cat hairs), you could also ask your audience to choose prompts and you would draw art according to that, drawing outside (ex: in nature, if you are comfortable with it), art swaps with other channels... anything really :)
Haven't been watching you for long but I love watching other people do art while talking about anything, just having someone to draw with is always fun
Welcome back!!😄😄 We missed youuuu!✏🖌
Good to see you back!!
The thing I most enjoy is seeing artists make art they love actually. Something that's just really them and hear them talk about the art work and the materials. Challenges are a lot of fun (I love scrawlrboxes and the using all my art supplies in this colour!), but seeing an artist doing what they love is the best!
Yeah I'm happy you're back !!!!
I really enjoy the unboxing videos and reviews you do. I also like watching you use different art supplies that may not necessarily be considered art supplies. And watching you make original art always makes me happy.
I’m sorry you were going through a hard time, I missed your lovely voice and wonderful art. But I’m glad you’re coming back and I am here for any videos you bring. I’m excited!!
I'm so sorry for all the stuff you've gone through over the last several months. I can definitely relate to a lot of the essence of what you're feeling, and I know how hard it can be to let stress stifle your creativity. Watching you just push through and get back into the swing of things is really inspiring me to try to be creative again. Thanks for being so open and sharing your story, and I'll be sure to like and comment as much as I can to help you get back into the good graces of the youtube algorithm. So happy to have you back
Thank you for sharing your story! You don't owe it to anyone, but making the choice to talk about your mental health shows others they're not alone and that anyone (even super talented RUclipsrs) can experience these things. You're helping the world become a better place :)
As for my favorite videos, I love character designs! Whether it's drawing adjectives from a hat, Instagram polls, random animal mashups or an original character you've had in your head, I'd love to see what you come up with!
Missed you so much!! Yours was the first art channel I ever watched about 4?? Years ago now and Im always filled with nostalgia and comfort hearing your voice. Best of luck with everything and so much love
Art challenges (like the three marker challenge or the cheap art supplies challenge) always catch my attention! So glad to have you back!!!
I love watching the Scrawlrboxes! Something else is just watching sketchbook sessions, I find them relaxing and interesting to watch.
I'm glad you are feeling better Marie. Of course we missed you and were worried! Please always take care of yourself first, your health is more important than a video every week.
Binge-watching Kattvalk videos this weekend, remembering to hit the like button!
Glad for å se deg tilbake 🎈ta vare på deg selv og din helse, det er nummer 1 uansett
It’s good to see you posting videos again! I like seeing art videos with voiceover either explaining the process of making the piece, or with a “story time” voiceover. I also like seeing art challenge videos, and videos where artists try something they aren’t familiar with such as collage/mixed media, clay, etc.
I really like listening to you tell your stories in the background while I draw or do my homework but I also like watching you use watercolors. You're art is so amazing and I can't wait to see more from you!!!! :)
Welcome back! Stay strong & I don't have a problem to rewatch your videos! It's so much fun
Change is always scary and I'm glad that you have been looking after yourself during some difficult times. I'm super excited to see you back on RUclips again and can't wait to see new videos from you again! I think challenge videos are fun, but also just speed paints and real time videos are fun to watch too!
I missed you and your art so much!! I love your videos ! Yes I will help you out. I like the scrawler boxes, challenges, reviews, speed art , everything. I'm glad your back to taking care of your channel. You ARE MY FAVORITE RUclipsR!
I'm sorry you have been having such a hard time lately. I'm also a highly sensitive person so I understand how easy it can be to get overwhelmed and anxious. I'm sorry for your loss. And about your job. Hopefully things start to look up soon. And to answer your question about content, I love all things art related, especially speedpaints/drawings, challenges, and trying out new art supplies/mediums. Mostly I've just been missing your videos and hoping that you've been okay. I'm glad you're back but try not to push yourself too hard!
I missed you! I hope things will turn around for you this year. Your channel is one of my favourites so I’ll for sure be rewatching your previous videos.
Im sorry to hear of all of the troubles youve been through :( but its really encouraging to hear how youre fighting through it and remaining positive about your obstacles and challenges!
I really hope you continue going back uphill! It'll be tough but we're here for you, your art always makes me happy. Keep doing what makes you happy. Take care.
Let me start off with, I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope you will feel better soon. If you need mlre of a break please take it, your health matters more. I love your art and videos but I don't want you risking your mental health over it. I will definitely go back and re-watch some of your videos! We all love you
I'm really glad that you are coming back to RUclips! I've been watching your videos for a really long time and they have always helped me by brightening my day up. :D I will go through your channel and watch more of your older videos if that will help out!
As for video ideas, I notice that when channels draw their subscribers OC's those videos tend to get quite a lot of views. Also I really REALLY enjoy the Scrawlbox unboxing videos. I find them really relaxing and enjoyable to watch. If I could offer my advice I would recommend having them be more real time with some cut here and there for a bit more personal experience. It would be super fun to watch you sketch out your ideas and see the drawing/idea progress throughout the video along with you as you test out the new products. ^_^
Hmm... I'm trying to think of some other ideas. Maybe have your subscribers be a bit more involved by suggesting some creative word prompts or ideas for you to try and draw? That would be fun! How about choosing let's say three markers randomly and the first letter of the name of each marker you have to think of a mythical creature or animal and then combine all the animals into a hybrid creature? This would be a cool one cause again we get to follow you along the process of creating this imaginary creature. :) I really enjoy seeing the full process of the piece, including the brainstorming, sketching and testing of products... I've noticed that just simple speedpaint videos tend to not get as many views unfortunately. >_<
If you do decide to do the Subscriber OC drawings I will list some here for you to look.
Welcome back! I have missed you so much! And dont worry, There's alot of people that still love you, it doesnt matter how hard is your life right now! We will always be here for you! Glad your feeling atleast a bit better! Lots of love from Finland!
Welcome back! I find the familiarity of art unboxing videos really enjoyable. Please don't get rid of them altogether!
I have missed you so much these past few months! It is great to have you back , I am going to go and re watch my favorite videos from you!
I like seeing speed paints with stories or any kind of voice over as well as product reviews. I tend to ignore most challenge videos.
I LOVE your art box challenges, I like seeing what you create with mediums you're not familiar with! I enjoy watching vlogs(Baylee Jae specifically, i prefer more relatable ppl) drawing others/your subs art in your style, art room tours, challenges outside of art boxes, art related to pop culture or a theme, challenges with certain colors, tutorials for beginners, tips and tricks, ramblings I can put on in the back, game related art, your own OCs, little comics of your OCs, drawing out of your comfort zone, artist struggles, finding hidden gems with art products, product reviews and demos, "my subs pick what I ____", maybe even art related to your dreams(if you have any, it's truly interesting!)
Glad to have you back !! It was watching your channel that got me interested in doing traditional art again and I found I really enjoyed it, so your content has always had a special place in my heart!
Personally I tend to enjoy videos where artists try using different materials than usual, or just try to draw something they usually wouldn't/try different styles. Also I like when artists kind of do "story time" as their voice overs and talk about a life event or just what's on their mind, and the making of the art is kind of the background.
Welcome back! I personally love watching tutorials and lately I've been into sculpting and also craft stuff. I always love learning something new.
I'm sorry you haven't been feeling great. I've suffered with depression almost all my life and I definitely have those times when I just don't feel like drawing or doing anything really. I really hope it all works out for you.
I hope this helped, can't wait to see more! 😊
Happy to see you back! :3 💞 I hope you're doing better
The kind of videos i like to watch,art related, is where the artists like to challenge themselves not only to use new art supply but to draw what they usually draw and get out of their comfort zone. I also like watching collab videos with other artists, series videos with a certain theme such as drawing certain prompts. Absolutely love when artists get their subscribers to join in such as subcribers picking their prompt or #drawthisinyourstyle videos. Even story telling videos i like those too.
Ive been bingeing your videos the past few weeks and I’m so glad you’re back to making new content! I love seeing anything marker related personally ❤️❤️
Sorry about your loss and your difficulties with everything else. 💖
I like to see original art, tutorials, reviews, and art hauls.
So good to have your videos back! I've been watching them almost from the start of your channel and it's something I look forward to. I'm sorry your year has been crazy and draining and I know how that can be. Were all here for you and love you and your art! Keep your head up sweetpea! Everything will work out wonderfully for you!
It's so lovely to see you back here again! I'm glad you took the rest, hearing what you've been through makes it 100% understandable. Glad that things are getting better, missed your sweet personality and lovely art!! These pieces look so wonderful by the way~
Oh my I was so worried you had quit for good. I hope you feel better soon; you have been an inspiration to me and are one of the reasons I got back into art (ironically not long after your previous video).
I actually really like the Skrawlrbox unboxings, even more so because everyone else seems to have stopped doing them. I also really enjoy the format of speed drawing with a voiceover, and a draw with me could actually be really fun too, even if you're not talking as much. I love just watching someone draw with maybe some calming music in the background while I can get some work done myself as well!
So nice to have you back! You've definitely been through a lot, I'm glad you took the time to look after yourself!
I already like the type of videos you put out! Especially the art and story ones. Looking forward to seeing more of your work, keep taking care of yourself! ❤️
For me, I really enjoy videos where I can tell the creator enjoyed making it -- I think you should make the art that you love and share your passion with us. Don't worry about catering to trends or demands, create what you love and we'll love it!
I really enjoy breakdowns of how you draw. An example could be "When I draw fur, I imagine little separations at this spot and this spot, and I do fluff in this way and if it's thicker or thinner I do this".
Good luck, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you'll be up to next!
First of all, it’s great to see you! Second, in general I love videos where people make stuff from nothing! I watch lots of art, crafting and maker videos because I find it so interesting to watch people can do with raw materials and creativity. In art videos in particular I mostly like to watch videos where artists use supplies that they’re comfortable with and know well to just be creative and make a piece that they’re really happy with. Prompt videos are great, I really loved Inktober and Mermay when people were following prompt lists because they were mostly using things they know (not stumbling through new supplies all the time) and creating something beautiful. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy you using new supplies once in a while, in fact I really missed your scrawler box videos. But seeing an artist grow and get better with a supply they love and are comfortable with is really amazing to watch over the long term. You are so talented and I love your witchy creative style and a lot of other people do too! Be yourself and don’t try to be impressive, that’s when we’ll be really impressed!
Glad you returned! I missed you, you're one of my favourite artists on youtube!
I really like tutorials and the unboxing videos. It amazes me the art you can make based on a single prompt word.
Hope you feel better soon!
I'm so sorry you've had such a terrible time. I think you've more than earned your time to focus on what you want. It'll take time but your work is amazing and you always rise to the challenge.
It's really good to have you back!! I'm sorry for all the tough situations you've been through recently. It's amazing how you can pull yourself back together again so soon. We will keep supporting you! As for video recommendations, I still like to watch your subscription box unboxings because you're consistent in uploading those videos. I also enjoy in-depth reviews of art supplies and art challenges. I've been been enjoying the "followers choose what I draw" challenge.
I love speedpaints with stories and studio vlogs like what you do during the day and stuff.
Hi Marie! I just wanna say, you and your art have inspired me so much and I'd watch any video you make, but the art subscription boxes are my favorites! You're so talented when it comes to different mediums and limited supplies. I also love any videos featuring your cats! 😸 Thank you for sharing your story and promoting self care. Stay strong! ❤️
So sorry for your loss katvulk. I am a pretty big fan so don't feel down, unless you still have fans.
I have definitely missed your videos. Of all the channels I follow, yours has always been one of my favorites. It's mostly because of your personality and sense of humor, so I'll probably watch no matter what content you include. I do love the unboxings. I also like seeing art materials featured in general just to see what they are capable of, how they can be used best, etc., and tutorials on how to use them. Art challenges are fun, too. Also it doesn't hurt to slip in some cat videos every so often. Love those cats!
