Japan really has such a long history of art and craftsmanship. It's been interesting just to see the detail in tiles or in these like monograms I've been seeing on doors, I don't know what they're called. Language teaching can be surprisingly hard and boring at the same time! Unfortunately I am still stuck in the online teaching until I can make enough money on art work in some capacity... The spitting is so odd to me! I remember seeing two cute girls smoking then spitting in a gutter. It wasn't just the grandpas. I think it's important to always keep growing! But it's hard to change or go against the current I guess. There are so many ways to explore Japan :)

@@HannahMorenDraws Yes I love everything from Japanese ceramics to calligraphy to sewing! Good luck for your course and honestly people really aren't bothered about how people looked. Its something us women self inflict on ourselves unfortunately and it was something that is great about getting older... You learn to care less and it's so freeing so enjoy your art and let that shine in your videos 👍😊

Thanks so much! I love drawing kitties 🐈‍⬛

Sometimes I’m too hard on my own work. I’ll go back to old sketches or doodles and be like, “hey this was actually good.” I just need distance.

Thanks for watching! So the program I am in is 2 years. I chose Japan because 1. I speak Japanese (my Korean is not very good.) and 2. Korea doesn't have the same kind of vocational schools like Japan. To my knowledge (and after asking my korean boyfriend) they are more like trade schools - like plumbing, electricity etc... and really the pressure in Korea is to go to university. According to my boyfriend you are kind of looked at as a "loser" for not going to a Uni. Japan has so many different kinds of specialty schools - flower arrangement, voice acting, comic books, tv broadcaster, cooking, and more. The only kind of specialty school I *do* know of in Korea that is unique is they have schools for becoming a flight attendant.

Thanks so much for your kind words! I’ve found the more I doodle and draw the more I find new ideas! So I’m glad it inspired you!

I want to amend and say “take the chance and possibly fail but also possibly succeed! than not try at all”

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment! I agree I’d rather try than not try. Even if there is an afterlife / reincarnation / whatever we can only be US here NOW. In this form. Also I hope you enjoy community college! I took classes at Pasadena City College off and on for years - it’s where I started Japanese learning AND I took many art classes including jewelry making :)

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It means so much to me :)

Thank you! I wonder who THIS is…. :)

Thanks so much! I’ll do my best to keep your sub! But I’m still figuring it allllll out. Thanks for commenting :)

@@HannahMorenDraws, oh just have fun. Don't worry about about subs or likes, just keep painting and grow as an artist. Best wishes in your journey.

@@purehermit1721 thanks for the reminder. It’s easy to get caught up in the analytics machine and forget why you’re making in the first place :)

Thank you so much! Very kind of you to say~~~~

I think Daiso in Seoul are the best! I just moved to Japan and I've been disappointed. I'll do a tour later! I'm from California and we have Daisos too, but obviously nothing like this! Thanks for watching :)

Also thanks for the recommendation on oil pastels! I don't think I'm ready to invest in a real set. But I think they can come out so beautifully~~~

Daiso is so much fun! Seoul (and maybe all of Korea??) I think has the best ones! I've moved recently to Osaka, Japan and I've been disappointed! Thanks for watching & commenting!

Um, I don’t know! I just started painting these tiny whimsical paintings. I didn’t think about what style I was taking the idea from!

@@HannahMorenDraws ah ok ..I just wanted to know .. they're very asthetic and pleasing to look at 🩷🥺

@@pabixiaothank you! I like to think they are my style! But I’m sure you can find similar work out there :)

Thanks so much for watching! It means a lot to me :)

Thank you! I sometimes like it too. think but I always worry about “reproduction” if a painting goes to print. I get ahead of myself!

So kind of you to say! I just looked it up and the cover is gorgeous. I wish someday!

There are Daisos in LA too!

I'm glad this has been officially fact checked! I will send the message over to bf Sangjin, that he is mistaken! Thanks so much for watching and commenting :))) And now I gotta go to the Express Bus Terminal one (it's closer...)!

Thanks so much! :)

Thank you so much for watching & commenting! It means a lot :)

Thanks so much for your kind comment!!

Thanks so much for watching AND being kind enough to comment :) This video has tanked! I should’ve described my sorry setup - I left my big tripod in the states and have refused to buy a new one!

@@HannahMorenDraws aw you’re so welcome :) as I’m getting started with TH-cam, I now realize how much time and energy goes into creating these videos so I appreciate them more and want to share my appreciation :) and that makes sense to leave your bigger tripod in the states. Which tripod is that? I just have a small joby one?

@@xnk_art I agree, I have a newfound appreciation for anyone putting videos out there now. So the tripod was actually like a freebee that came with the big tripod. It's Biso: BS-F01. It's a Korean brand I think since I bought it online on coupang. Frankly I would not recommend! It's pretty cheap-o and the legs don't extend long enough. The big tripod was nice tho. If I find something better I'll come back to this comment section!

Thanks for watching! I think Homi is still all around best - but you can get cheap art supplies at any Daiso and cute stationery at Art Box!

Thankkkksssssss

Thank you, you exaggerator you.

Thank you so much for watching! And more importantly complementing my adorable cat! 🐈‍⬛ ❤️

Thank you! Me too :) He’s a star ⭐️

Thank *you* so much for watching and taking the time to leave a lovely comment 🐈‍⬛❤️

thank yoooouuuuu~~~~

Thank you! 😊

Wow thanks “pjm le grande” if that IS your real name!

But of course eet iz my reel name, ma chérie!

Thanks so much 😊

It’s scary to draw myself! I’m a very harsh critic. But that is a great idea! :)

That is so kind of you to say! I am very insecure about my sketchbooks (and the vid quality on this….) I’ll keep trying harder but it’s nice to hear kind words!

They had to go somewhere! Sorry Zukh

Is that SJ I see?

that's all huh peeeeetttteeerrrrrr le grande?

@@HannahMorenDrawsAs in “the great.” Delusions of grandeur ‘n’ all

You are so welcome! I’m so happy to have given just a bit of inspiration to you~~

I’m glad it has inspired you! I don’t know how long mine shall stay organized… thanks so much for watching and commenting :)))

Thanks! :)

:(

easier said than done

Wow that's crazy! We have them in California. But I remember hearing like the CEO of Daiso in Japan officially "apologized" for their bad quality products once. Whatever! I love it!

Thank you :)

you should see the rest of my studio...

thanks so much for watching and your kind words! Try one of those brushes - they're pretty inexpensive too :)

That's a good idea! But i'm a bit scared to glue things down!! It's a commitment, and some of my doodles are drawn on both sides (maybe those should be tossed...)

@@HannahMorenDraws maybe get a big binder with clear sleeves? Then you don't have to commit but can easily flip through them and have the more organised?😊
