Drawing Practice! Mitsu | Craft and Chill
Hey, everyone! Welcome back to my channel. This is just a little something different I felt like doing. I've been wanting to get back into drawing on paper again, since I felt like it was a skill I was starting to lose and I wanted to practice! It's not all on paper, but enough that I felt like it can be considered practice, at least haha. So let's do it together! Grab a snack and a drink, and whatever craft or art project you're working on, and let's have a cozy "craft 'n' chill" session hehe. Hope you enjoy it!
PS: Don't worry - regular doll video incoming (hopefully by the end of September or early October).

I repainted this Frankie two Halloween's ago! Can you believe the channel has been going for that long? It's amazing to think about.
Adorable ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎀💃🌺🦋
Thank you!
so cute!
nice doll but i would avoid using kyarys songs! she admitted to having a crush on her 12 yr old background dancer on a tumblr post in 2015, and even if that was years ago its still weird
As far as I know (not 100% sure cause there's not that much information online) that whole situation was taken out of context and happened due to poor translation? I also read she won the case against those allegations? So I think unless we know 100% that someone is guilty of something like this, perhaps we shouldn't be boycotting them or spreading the rumour around even further. I intend to do more research, and if I find evidence proving she is actually guilty of it, then yeah I'll stop using her music in shorts. Not defending her at all, just saying I personally would need more information about this to decide how I feel about it.
I love it! How relaxing it is to see you draw, and how well you do it, I would love to know more about these processes, programs and tools that you use. I thought it was a different but great video❤❤
Thanks so much, Lucía!
You can watch me draw Mitsu here: th-cam.com/video/dsKW_DhVbTM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PUHLoO-A84fFLVwR
For the digital side of things do you have a tablet you're using or are you doing it all by mouse?
Hi! Thanks so much for watching🤗 I have a Ugee drawing tablet (highly recommend if you're looking for a cheaper brand that's not too fancy but lasts for ages) but if I had to, I could draw by mouse as well. The tablet just makes things smoother and easier/faster😊💕
@@DollyAnna awesome thanks for answering! I did also wonder about the left hand, is there a finger missing or is it just because of the perspective? Either a very cute drawing and I look forward to the next doll video!
@ElvishEly No problem!! Hehe yeah it's just the perspective, sometimes from that angle the pinkie is kind of hidden. Thanks again for watching!💕
Also, just trust the process on the skirt haha. If at first it looks weird - don't worry. I fix it later😅
i'm a huge fan of stylized eyebrows, i think they blur the line between human and cartoon, and help tell the story so well. Your idea of inverted commas are great.
Thanks so much, Solitaryflower! I appreciate that you've been supporting the channel. I'm glad you like them!🫶💕
You draw such wonderfully expressive eyes. I just love them. And what a GREAT idea for a collab! <3
Thank you so much! What a lovely compliment🫶💕 And thank you for watching and supporting the channel!
I enjoy unboxings like this, which are slow and well-narrated. And I love blind box toys, so I'd be happy for you to do more like this. :)
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching🌸💕
Besides Mitsu being incredibly adorable, I really like the way you narrate your steps without a lot of sped-up filler. That's so important to me as a new artist, because I'm using these videos to learn.
Aw I'm super glad you find them helpful!! I also learned a lot of what I know from watching videos originally hehe. Thanks so much for watching!❤️
Too cute ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!🫶💕
Hello I'm new to your channel. She is very beautiful and cute and adorable. And I love her eyes they are so beautiful and cute and her and hair and I love how you made it out of yarn and I love all the decora and is so beautiful and I love rainbows and thank you so much for making beautiful video and beautiful and colorful doll and I also love her outfit and I think I would definitely were her outfit if I could. I hope you have a wonderful morning and day and evening and afternoon and night mew❤🥰🌸🤗❤️💜🪷✨️🌌❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🌈🦚🌈^^ And sorry if mess some things in your video, I was coloring a mermaid tail that I drew so I was watching your video while coloring. I really enjoyed watching your video.
Aw, thank you so much for watching and complimenting my video, BufiRose! I'm so glad you enjoyed it🫶💕 That sounds like a lot of fun! I love watching videos in the background while doing art or crafts as well😁 Hope you have a wonderful day, too!
@@DollyAnna Your welcome and thank you🤗🥰🌸.
This came out so adorable. Question, do you have recommendations for an airbrush for use on small dolls like this? What model do you use?
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like her🫶 My airbush is a little electric one that's marketed as usable for makeup, cake decorating, and crafts. It doesn't work with a big compressor, it sort of just has a little white bubble of a body with the airbrush attached. Unfortunately, I bought it locally, so I don't have the exact link for you, but mine looks just like this one you can get on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Airbrush-Adjustable-Compressor-Moisturizing-Temporary/dp/B074PNWFH
Hope that helps!!
she's cute and decora is a great pride idea, however if you're trying to ensure more diversity making her poc in skin tone isn't really representation. I think she's sweet, but it's weird to say diversity on a doll with light colored velvet yarn for locs that don't resemble black hair, light pink lips, and light eyes. if poc only exist of a fantasy are they really people, ya know? please don't let that take away from how adorable and fantastic this doll is, but if we're talking about inclusivity, who is supposed to feel included with this? I only write this because I love your dolls and videos and love watch your work.
Thanks for watching, Cara! This doll is inclusive in various ways (in my opinion). Firstly, she represents minority groups as she is a person of colour. She also showcases how people from all around the world can enjoy and take part in J-Fashion, and how this fashion style isn't limited to a certain country or ethnic background. Her makeup (the bright lips and eyeshadow) is part of the Decora Kei fashion style! And I believe that just because someone is a person of colour does not mean they can't enjoy bright pink lipstick hehe. But, perhaps just as importantly, she represents the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole. I wanted a doll that wasn't limited to a single flag, but showcased all of them (including the Pride of Africa flag and the Queer POC Pride flag). The rainbow eyes are representative of the hope I have for a brighter and more inclusive future, where people in the LGBTQIA+ community aren't targeted for their gender identities, self-expression, or the colour of their skin. (Bright eyes often connote to looking towards/dreaming about a better future) As I mentioned in the video, her hair was inspired by an artist I enjoy on instagram, who drew an artwork of a person of colour with thick pastel coloured dreadlocks- which is something I have seen rocked by many actual people of colour as well! And it was simply my stylistic choice to use this yarn to represent that so it would pay homage to how the artist chose to draw it originally😁 If you Google thick pastel dreadlocks or search it on Pinterest, you will find many pictures of stunning looks with pastel dreads. I think it's important to remember that just because someone is black, that doesn't take away from their ability to wear bright fashions, have pastel coloured hair, wear bright neon lipstick, or even wear non-natural coloured contact lenses etc. I have made a doll before for a previous Pride month who was also a POC with brown eyes and black, textured hair. Both expressions are equally valid, and there are many wonderful people of colour in the J-Fashion community who choose to express themselves in this way, and it doesn't make them any less POC. A person's fashion style does not take away from their identity or their ethnicity. And it certainly does not mean they are a fantasy creature who can't exist in real life hehe. I hope this explains my thought process better! Thanks again for watching and caring🫶💕
Oh, also! If you're interested in seeing more POC who enjoy Decora Kei and other J-Fashion styles- I can highly recommend following Hard_Decora on Instagram! She has pastel hair, light contacts, and bright makeup all the time and her fashion is such an inspiration😁💕 There is also maid.glo, pastelpazz, vs_ashlichan, prince.mikoto, and dollywave - all stunning J-fashionistas of colour well worth following on Instagram. And of course malikakeepsmiling, a Muslim J-fashion lover who shows just how diverse the j-fash community can be.
A treat to watch. A treat i want to eat 👀 pls
Hahaha thank you!🫶💕🤣
When you are removing the plugs from the inside do you heat up the head. I’m having a hard time getting all the plugs out.
You can! Some heads are harder than others and then heading them up can help loosen the plugs/spftem the glue 🫶💕
@@DollyAnna thank you so much. Um still learning and most have been so nice helping me learn. Thanks again. I love your channel and your style.
@@allietheparanormaladventurer my pleasure! Thank you for watching🫶💕

She turned out so cute!!! Subscribed OwO
Thank you! I'm so glad you like her. Thanks for watching and subscribing🫶💕
OMGGGG She is so beautiful and adorable!!!! She is such a perfect pride doll <3
Thanks so much, Tabby!! I'm glad you like her🤗❤️
beautiful outfit! love the silhouette and the texture of that hair. the nose highlight looks odd, though.
Thanks for watching 🫶
My sincere compliments-bravo!
Thank you so much!!❤️
She’s the entire LGBTQ community!!
Yesss hehehe she is the rainbow!! Or at least, that's what I was going for heh💕🫶
You're so hardworking and creative!! 😭 i've been watching some youtubers lately making and customizing dolls, I'm deeply impressed with this kind of work and i'm definitely staying on this side of youtube🙏 Painting, sewing clothes, hairdos, even sculpting!! It truly takes a wide array of skills to make a doll by hand, I've never even thought about it! This is the first video I've watched on your channel, and I'm subscribed:) I'll be bingewatching your other dollmaking videos too! Regarding this doll, I love her pastel and rainbow themes!! Her eyes are beautifulllll😭😭 the sheer amount of DECORATIONS is so good for my soul, her design is FULL AND FILLED. Always appreciate the pride flags lol, and you MAXIMIZED the number of them, some of them I don't even recognize fhsjdjs lets go 72 genders‼️🔥 and it's insane to me how you made this whole doll from just a drawing inspiration!! I draw and design characters, but it's something else to make a stylized 2d drawing into a real doll! Keep up the good work! 💛
Oh my goodness hehe I am blushing!! Thank you so much for the lovely compliments, and thanks so much for watching! I'm so happy you enjoyed it🫶💕 I hope you keep enjoying my content! I'll do my best😁
She’s adorable!🥰I love her!❤

She came out lovely! The outfit looks great and you did an amazing job with the shoes as well (I know how difficult making shoes can be) plus I appreciated the inclusive message, I hope for the same outcome that you do ☺
Thank you so much!!🫶💕 And thank you for watching!
This custom is amazing wow
Thank you so much!!🫶
you are so underrated! I clicked on this thinking it had like 100k views just from the quality of the video and was so shocked, you’re so talented it’s crazy!
Oh wow that's such an amazing compliment, thank you!! I'm super happy you enjoyed it!🤗💕🫶
