    My favorite thing about your videos is that you're not super "RUclips-y". Way more watchable than a lot of other art tubers

  • @jennaserv

    Walking is so underrated. It really clears my mind and I'm able to notice things I normally wouldn't. It's so refreshing.

    @figsuitcase 9 месяцев назад +7

    omg, the orange underpainting on "the immortals" looked so otherworldly and dewy and immersive during those painting shots, and music by louie zong??? two of my absolute fav youtube humans!

  • @jamieroberts269
    @jamieroberts269 9 месяцев назад +5

    First and foremost I want to send good and healing vibes your way. Life sucks sometimes in the worst way. Your work and videos are so inspiring to many including myself. I love how you have so many projects going on. Aries club!

    My favorite thing about spring is the water warming up, so the creeks and lakes start babbling and moving and teeming with life again!

  • @moldydishtowel
    @moldydishtowel 9 месяцев назад +5

    obsessed with the two paintings you made for the gallery!! some of my favorite parts of spring are the spring ephemerals and the migratory birds coming back

  • @kpc98
    @kpc98 9 месяцев назад +6

    I’m chronically ill and it’s been a lifetime dream of mine to create daily and have my own studio. Your videos are very calming, inspiring, and give me hope!

  • @alexhayeschapple
    @alexhayeschapple 9 месяцев назад +3

    I love the idea of getting client work and admin stuff done at the beginning of the week to that you have more mental space for creative personal projects later in the week! I’ll have to try that!!

    Having the light come back is my favorite part of spring, the dark winter is so difficult! I also love seeing everything start growing again.❤

    @rachelleslote2759 9 месяцев назад +2

    I binged all your videos, they bring me so much comfort and inspiration as an artist. Watching your videos inspire me to get back into making art I love and trusting the process. Just wanna say you are very well spoken and to keep doing what you love

  • @MacabreCatt
    @MacabreCatt 10 месяцев назад +5

    tip with underglazes, i use them alot in my ceramics and you can totally mix the colors! I personally add in white to a lot of my underglazes to dilute them and make them more pastel :)

  • @love.juliet.art.
    @love.juliet.art. 10 месяцев назад +9

  • @JennyGranberry
    @JennyGranberry 10 месяцев назад +7

    I enjoy seeing how you combine your traditional work with digital. I'm still trying to work out how digital fit into my creative practice so its great to see an example. Thank you for sharing!

  • @flagepage
    @flagepage 10 месяцев назад +2

    i love so much that you talk about money!!! seems like a lot of ppl are so hesitant to talk about money (which is just kinda part of our culture I think, and probably fear of online backlash which is VALID). anyways its just great to hear you talk about how much you actually make from art markets, how much you actually spend on stickers and prints, alla that.

  • @testaccount100100
    @testaccount100100 10 месяцев назад +6

    Hi! I found you through the recent sketchbook tour and was so inspired by your playful style, use of different materials, and the way you are moving through life with chronic illness. I've been watching older vlogs too. Thanks for sharing your process with us! One thing that stands out to me is all the different inputs you have to your creative practices (like different types of classes), so inspiring! You have a new fan in me. 🙂

  • @benwrex6280
    @benwrex6280 10 месяцев назад +5

  • @rachelshoop6935
    @rachelshoop6935 9 месяцев назад +1

    Sometimes I just rewatch the old vids while I wait for a new littletinyegg. Your vids really make me want to prioritize doodling and more illustrative styles in my practice! As a young queer art person, I see so much of my dreams and inspiration in your videos :,)

  • @nadineamend7116
    @nadineamend7116 9 месяцев назад +2

    As soon as I see a video from you, I immediately get the feeling and the motivation to draw and just doodle or sketch. Please keep making such videos, I love them and watched them literally a thousand times. Just keep running on vibes 😂

    @o0Daisy0o 10 месяцев назад +3

    I don’t think I’ve ever related to you more than I do in this vid! The pistachio shells in the car, the treat for being “brave when having stitches removed and not crying”, ordering the wrong size tubes for prints and later discovering they were ordered from a morally awful company… these are all 💯 things I would do 😂 thank you for sharing! Your painting is looking incredible! Will ‘The Immortals’ be available as a print? I’m in love with it!

    • @littletinyegg
      @littletinyegg  10 месяцев назад

      it will once I get the files back from the photographer!

  • @mcphersonnikita4465
    @mcphersonnikita4465 10 месяцев назад +2

    You have such a warm and comforting energy pouring from your videos. I can’t believe you’re accomplishing so much while still having to deal with all the health issues. I went through half a year of feeling like a lifeless rag doll due to what I think was long covid. On my worse days I could barely handle simple daily tasks (and I wasn’t even employed back then!) I ended up envying people who could go for a walk at the part without getting fatigued. Not a healthy mindset at all. Seeing people like you gives me a lot of needed support and motivation to not give up on living a full life, no matter how good or bad my body feels today. I’m sure that you’re strong enough to deal with all the hardships in your life and I wish you healing completely so you can have even more energy to share the joy of life with those who need it ❤

    Kristen! Your videos are more and more inspiring, you are so productive and creative right now, just incredible. I am so inspired by your work. Although I tend to dream of drawing and painting more because I'm currently in hospital (for four months now) being treated for leukemia. You really are a great role model, especially because I know that you, too, have been through a history of illness... - and now, despite sometimes having little strength, you can do so, so much.
    Keep up your creative work!! Hugs from Germany

    So many gems in this video! Shout out to Dickies, love it. Also definitely get a piston convertor if you haven't already for your fountain pens so you can use waterproof inks. I've been happy with the Roher & Klinger "Sketch Ink" series. Their color Thea is my jam!

I have a sister in Montana. I spend my time practicing guitar. To support myself as you are seems so pleasant! I would like a book on what art supplies to buy and how to use them. I'm pitching this idea to you though it has probably been done. I look forward to more videos!

    I'm a disabled autistic woman and self-taught artist in France, dreaming to move in Canada. After more than a decade of struggles with my health (immune disease, burn out, PTSD) I've finally started to create full-time since 2023. Your videos give me so much hope and courage and help me to keep doing what matters the most to me in this crazy world. Your art and your vibe are soft, generous and comforting, so, thanks for that !

    I feel you on the infusion. Every 8 weeks I get an infusion called Ultomiris. It should be a 2 hour infusion but I’m at the cancer center for 7 to 8 hours because I’m allergic to it so it needs to be infused a very slow rate. I get 5 premeds 2 of them are Benadryl and Ativan. Then I react 5 minutes into the infusion and get more Benadryl. I sleep for hours and hours afterward. My next infusion is in 3 days. Fun times. Anyway, I love your work!
