I love Jacob praising Julia’s art style and then “she’s drawing a Garfield right now but-“
Yeahh
That's true love, right there.
I love whenever Julia makes a 'bad' joke and Nathan absolutely loses it in solidarity, with a stern Jacob in the back.
The Julia Nathan vs Jacob Karina sense of humor difference kills me every single video
I didn't really get the joke, unfortunately 😅
@@anthonyjames696 ARG stands for alternate reality game which is a whole thing in itself but its like online fiction mixed with real life (for example marble hornets). and in the peanuts comics charlie brown often says "argggh" as just like an expression of frustration. he's into that "a-r-g" stuff because he says "arg", sorry if this didnt make much sense its kind of a difficult joke to explain if you dont have the context for it
The fact Nathan had to stop drawing for a few seconds to laugh, meanwhile Jacob was taking psychic damage the longer the bit went on. 😂🤣
Yes. I was waiting for Nathan to die laughing and Jacob to just die as soon as Julia laughed before even saying her joke. I could NOT stop laughing. Nathan's laugh mixed with Jacob's pain gives me life.
Would love to see a follow up where Karina draws a detailed version just from seeing Jacob’s simplified one and you compare to the original
That is actually interestingly palatable
Oooooo this would be very cool
+
Yes please!
That would be amazing
Love the "this is a binder" joke with a top binder briefly flashing on screen before going to a paper binder. 10/10
Yes I thought I was the only one who noticed lol
Kudos to the editor!
Miku binder??
the exact comment i was looking for thank u
I was about to comment about that. Idk if David edited this one or not but if so all the love to them!!!
Nathan’s is how the character is animated usually, Julia’s are those scenes where he’s disappointed or upset and is just seething, Jacob’s is when it’s the omake at the end of the episode
Yes!!
Headcanon accepted
Julia's is how people who don't know him see him as. Nathan's is how he actually is. Jacob's is how the students imagine him as.
What’s an omake
I'm imagining Assassination Classroom, but featuring this character as a magic professor like they suggested lol
I love jacob’s silence after Julia’s ARG joke. Almost like he was realizing he’s going to be married to the funniest person in the world.
Can somebody please explain the joke?
@@deantasty7421 ARG means Augmented Reality Game but is also a thing Charlie Brown says
They're getting married? (potentially idiot question lolz)
@@OverZel yeah!! they announced it in a secret sleepover society stream and also julia tweeted about it i believe
@@OverZel they got engaged this past weekend!🤍
Jacob: your jokes suck and you don't know what a rectangle is
Also Jacob: *puts a ring on it*
I believe it's called "negging"
If they know what a rectangle is, that's a dealbreaker.
@@martijnvanweele6204 Somewhere, Makoto from SungWon & Jay's Danganronpa playthrough is crying.
In a similar vein, I love how Julia's drawing is looking at Jacob in the intro now :]
@@Nassifeh I'd think Nagito/Hajime would have more problems with knowing/not knowing basic shapes respectively lmao
OMG Nathan's intro was both unsettling and completely understood
The fact that Julia gave us a cosmic horror and then Nathan made it a wholesome character is incredibly on-brand.
For both of them
karina sees cosmic horrors, nathan sees kind hearted school principals
Nathan totally gave us Death, from Soul Eater.
Julia: Beyond mortal comprehension
Nathan: Action figure
Jacob: A Pokémon
The “this is a binder” bit is A+, I’ll vibe to that
I love how they had the chest binder go _weeee_ across the screen hagddhhf
hell yes
I almost made this exact same comment, thank you for sharing a brain cell with me 😂
I imagined that this one's the binder I ordered earlier today, flying through space, time and a drawfee video just to get to me
AGFJDJJDF I CAUGHT THAT IT WAS DELIGHTFUL
They're trying to sneak a drawclass into our regularly scheduled drawfee. This is madness
This is why it's a BANGER
im being taught against my will and im having fun doing it, they tricked us all
Jokes on them. I never learn!
This is a madness.
@@Litl_E And this is an office chair
I love the Deep One, its so fun when he shows up at parties and makes everyone's flesh transparent
My favorite party trick
He’s a real hoot at body parties.
@@djdee6386 great reference
First of I love this, secondly. Julia's version gives me "season 1 rarely shown big bad" vibes, Nathan's version gives me "season 4 post redemption chilling in the background" vibes, and Jacob's gives me "End credit chibi version doing dumb shit" vibes. In other words, you nailed it.
NO BECAUSE YOU'RE SO RIGHT.
Nathan: I can’t wait to see the render ! :)
Julia: (unintelligible noise that tells me she only remembered in that moment that a render would need to happen)
Nothing is more amusing to me than Julia’s “WHAT.” bit. The intense, sudden rejection of reality is… incredible
The timing on it is always brilliant and perfectly executed every single time. It truly is one of my favorite things ever
It’s one of my favourite drawfee bits in existence
They simplified the show so much that they even cut Karina out. Not sure I agree with the move, but I see the effort
Julia drawing Garfield in Nathan's slot, then erasing it just to draw Garfield again is the most Julia thing ever.
This is Nermal erasure
@@wolfofsummerbreeze Nermal is a bastard who deserves to be erased
@@wolfofsummerbreezeno she erased garfield
Jacob: "I like the vertical panels because I enjoy drawing characters in that vertical space"
Also Jacob: draws a W I D E B O I
Nathan's version as 'caring teacher Deep One' is now one of my favorite Drawfee characters. I like him.
Don't forget his googly eyed eel! That part had me gasping for breath.
I wish the Deep One was my teacher in middle school
same! It's my Drawfee fave I think :D
"every day, I come in here" met with Julia's "you do live here." was so flipping funny to me 💀
Jacob: "I prefer the vertical canvas because I like to draw vertical characters and don't know what to do with the rest of the space"
Also Jacob: turns the very vertical character into the widest boy imaginable
4:20 the quick flash of the chest binder on screen is truly A+ comedy
I didn't even notice that!
This is a great episode! Also Julia saying that she pre-maturely laughs at her jokes because she thinks of Jacob's reaction makes my heart melt. Lovely episode everyone :)
I literally laughed out loud when Julia said "he's not a human... but he is a dancer"
That binder editing joke really got me lol
I feel like Julia's non-jokes usually just get me to smile and shake my head, but the ARG one actually got me crying laughing. Good.
Oh also, this format's sick, would love to see more.
Can we please have an episode titled 'OOPS! Just Garfs!' where everyone just draws Garfield? I'd love that.
There’s a stream! With all garfs
@@thebaronkevin6653 oh cool! My prayers have been answered lol.
@@thebaronkevin6653 I was gonna say I feel like they've had to have done a garf only stream lol
Julia: it kind of looks like a weird horse
Jacob: oh no, how will I simplify a horse 😏
Chihuahua
tube
I would so read a graphic novel called "My Teacher is The Lord Of Darkness"
It's most definitely a Comedy Slice of life that stabs you in the feels when you least expect it
good news! That's pretty much the exact description of Assassination Classroom.
since jacob said “my preferred orientation is vertical” and there was a binder joke im gonna need a jacob drawfee vertical pride flag stat
Good idea
Nathan having to stop drawing to have a long loud laugh at Julia's joke nearly brought be to tears. Just, A+ content.
Oh man I’m liking this “evil villain, but also a caring principle” bit during Nathan’s drawing
he unintentionally described Assassination Classroom
you would LOVE Soul Eater
@@somepunkkid9820 you’re right, but I watched it already. I did enjoy it
I love that energy and I'm loving the suggestions people are making in these comments.
@@PowWowChikaBowWow6902 Have you considered... watching it again? 👀
Between Karina's anime pitches and this episode introducing scary-looking but actually sweet eldritch horror principal, drawfee is making me want to watch shows that don't exist 😭
as a Soul Eater fan, I'm totally here for the scary eldritch being making himself non-threatening so he can teach children
I was literally just about to say I love how he's essentially just Death from Soul Eater
First thing that came to mind. I was looking for this comment.
It's all I could think about!
This feels like Julia’s Deep One is how the character was introduced in the comics: as this big, bad, mysterious, and terrifying villain that was the main bad guy of a series for a long time. Nathan’s feels like when The Deep One was reintroduced as part of a villain team up, but got kind of sidelined as, say, the “smart one” of the villain group to make room for the more well known villains. Jacob’s is like when the character was brought back again, but as a one off, villain-of-the-week situation which wasn’t 100% faithful to previous versions but was so popular on its own that most people now think of that version when they think of the character.
Nathan’s version is now having a cultural resurgence thanks to “The Deep One being the best character on the show (1998)” clips being picked up by the TH-cam algorithm
@@brandonbayne3297 you’re both so right
But the old fans don't like the new design as much because of some unrelated issue in the writing during that period.
I really enjoyed all the non-standard in this: the three panel page, the serial format of having the next artist use the prior as a prompt, and having Julia go first to encourage something wild from the start.
Julia's ARG joke actually made me laugh though
Good grief... (lol)
After Julia’s “peanuts is ahead of its time” joke: Nathan and Julia dying of laughter. Jacob dying.
WHY DID NOBODY SAY ANYTHING TO NATHAN'S "GET DOWN WITH THE THICKNESS" THAT WAS PURE ART
I came to the comments to say this!
I have to say my favorite bits are when Julia make the most absurd joke no one could ever think of, and Nathan laugh at it while Jacob is just disappointed.
I would love to see this from a middle out approach. Nathan generating a character for Jacob to simplify and Julia to complicate.
One of my favorite things in this world is Julia making a joke that makes Nathan (and I) laugh hysterically but make Jacob become incredibly tired and upset
Nathan stopped drawing for a full 30 seconds just to laugh at Julia's extremely very good ARG joke
Jacob: talks about verticality is his element.
Also Jacob: draws the widest boy, per usual
“Start simplifying things” as Nathan’s portrait is the most uncomfortably realistic one of the bunch
Please do this again, any variation of it!
Julias ARG joke was peak comedy gold, with Nathan laughing uncontrollably and Jacob sounding so tired. It was beautiful.
The amount of disgust when Jacob said "What do you want me to do? A BACKGROUND?" Resonated in my soul😂
Here's a drawing suggestion: Design cute toy merch based on each other. Killer Karina plushie with different velcro-attachable knives. Julia's room full of vampire playsets. Jacob's stackable Yogi balancing toy. My Little Nathan, complete with brushable beard. Fully articulated Porfo figure complete with 3 face plates and multiple attachments. Let your ideas run wild for toy merch!
Julia toy, now complete with changing location while you're not observing!
brushable beard,, , that's adorable, ,
Todd plush with real judgement!
@@jackbubblegum Yes!
Like the three panel layout, especially for such closely related drawings.
And I’d even thought of the opposite challenge: progressively complex versions. Maybe even a speed draw. And the shifts in designs, to suit the versions, was much cooler than if it stayed the same. Jacob nailed that last bit. Such good stuff.
At the end Julia says something about doing the opposite. 40:26 ish
Nothing quite like drawfee doing a “streamlined” episode that’s 42 minutes long
I always like to say "and make even dumber drawings" in unison, and it's been TWO episodes in a ROW that I've been bamboozled!!!
God bless you David for the flashby of a chest binder in the staples segment. That was very funny
The running critical role “it’s been a while”choruses have trained such a Pavlovian response in me. I didn’t even bat an eye when it happened here
It’s so ingrained in me I do it automatically. Same with MAKINMAWAY
@@rhaegnarokMy husband and I will do this in our day to day conversations! 😆
Julia drew a Magic card. Nathan drew a YuGiOh card. Jacob drew a Pokemon.
8:39 as someone who is taking classes for medieval sword fighting (also known as HEMA), yes you do get hurt lol. I have gotten so many bruises from sparring with plastic swords and my teacher won’t let me use the metal ones until I’ve learned how to stop hitting myself in the face with my own sword
Hell yeah! HEMA seems pretty fun. As with a lot of other things I keep meaning to get into it.
Good luck with it!
They would NEVER let me have a metal sword, I'm too much of a danger to myself 💀
We lost so many good soldiers thay way...
I want a telephone version of this where each person only has access to the previous picture. You could do it on garticphone I think. 5 artists complex->medium->simple->medium->complex and see what changes
This is such a good idea
they actually did something like that a while back, I don't remember the name of the episode though.
I love when Julia tells a joke that debuffs Jacob.
Jacob getting flustered/frustrated, and Nathan laughing hysterically have become possibly my favorite things
Ah yes, “The Eels Have Eyes,” my favorite nautical remake of “The Hills Have Eyes”
DRAWING SUGGESTION : Nathan's big book of dino lies. Nathan read some really old and incorrect dinosaur facts that Jacob, Julia, and Karina must draw what they think that dino looks like. If Nathan wants to draw, someone else could give him a dino fact.
Boosting this comment
atta' guy, that's the spirit!!
Yes
bone game but. conceptual.
what are the other drafs opinion about drawing dragons? difficult, horrifying or other adjective?
I didn't expect to be so impacted by Jacob's "she-RAW" pronunciation vs. "she-ruh".
literally just came from the VOD and the last thing Karina said was "oh also the forbidden name was about rimming" and then this dropped
Gotta love the foreshadowing
Me too lol
I am so charmed by Nathan’s interpretation of the deep one. I’d watch a show with him as a principle in a heartbeat!
Yesss and he's got a past, but his true love is teaching, and he uses the lessons from his personal history to inspire and warn the main friend group as they set out on the path to their own destiny
There is a show like this. Soul Eater. Death is the principal of the school. I've rewatched it at least 12 times.
Whenever Jacob said the initial “this is a stylus” I thought he was gonna bust into fresh prince of bel air with “this is a stylus all about how-“
Thought the same thing
Jacob’s challenge: Simplify a drawing
Jacob himself: completely abandons prompt and reimagines character
He pulled a Julia
The last spot condition
They should have gone with “This is a Staples Store”. It would have been perfect!! The right amount of syllables is right there!!
Or "This is a Staples ad."
Out of respect for Jacob and Julia Drawfee, I have to say:
Nathan has grown so much as an artist!
One unintentionally beautiful element of this video, is the fact that it doesn't even need chapters! The three segments on the screen separate the drawing time for each piece almost perfectly in the time line!
"The deep one being a caring principal" sounds like one of the staff at my school and i live for it. down to the "if you don't know how to word your problem you can write it on a note and then i'll read it and help you" approach. cannot tell you how many times i just had to take some time with this lady over a cup of tea (that she insisted on making) in her office. she left at the end of last year, and i'll miss how frikin' short and friendly she was
Julia's ARG joke had me creasing anyway, but Nathan's laugh is so contagious to me so that just heightened the whole thing and now my face hurts xD
Didn't know the reference for Jacob's "this is a stylus", so my mind jumped to "now this is a stylus all about how my canvas flip-turned upside-down", and now I want that to exist. Fresh Prints of Bel Air, anyone? 🤔🤣
Edit: just got further into the video and I cannot believe that Julia accidentally almost drew a pokémon 🙏
I also thought of the fresh prince song first
Yoo I also thought they were going down the fresh prince route-
SPEED DRAWING SUGGESTION: advertisement posters for a nonsense product, like a yell-powered bicycle or a handheld toaster, idk but I know y'all would have fun, and Nathan would riff SO hard.
This is such a good idea!!
That would be so ridiculous! I love it! What if they even invented products for eachother?
I feel like Nathan's is the principal at a magic school, Julia's is the stained glass portrait of him, and Jacob's is the version that the students make for the school play.
"I'm the Oreo cream, and you are my lovely cookie friends" is now my favourite quote ever!
jacob's version has the vibe that if this was actually animated, the space part of the cloak would be transparent over a static background of space so they'd never move no matter how much the character does. y'know, like every character in chowder.
I like how even their line art styles contribute to the simplification. My take on it.
The original series: Julia's
The reboot: Nathan's
The comedic chibi show: Jacob's
Please draw creatures from lumberjack folklore/tall tales! Such as the Squonk, the Cactus Cat, the Snow Wasset, the Billdad, the Hyampom Hog Bear, the Agropelter (this one's for Nathan, it's a Rude Ape), or the Snallygaster! Just let Tristan loose on the Fearsome Critters website.
Yes this is awesome!
Perhaps Paul Bunyan, the folklore lumberjack.
I concur. I am very happy that these little critters are starting to gain some popularity.
Not even a mention of Paul Bunyan?
If I had a nickel for each of these creatures that I recognized I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that I know two of them.
I want every iteration of this video and prompt, every member getting to design the original character, going backwards and starting simple and making it more complex, bringing karina in, I just love it and want more of it
I like how Jacob simplified the drawing by changing every single aspect of it
Today on drawfee, Julia brings down the house with one ARG
I love this character design in all three stages, but I think Nathan's interpretation is my favorite; I love how he simplified it! I hope they do this challenge again
At about 8 minutes in- speaking as someone who does HEMA, Historical European Martial Arts, there's both that, and Buhurt. HEMA is primarily focused on the historical recreation aspect, while Buhurt is primarily focused on hitting people with metal rods. They are two very different sports, and when comparing things like armor construction and technique between the two, there are incredible differences. If you're interested in historical swordplay, I highly recommend HEMA, and would never under any circumstances recommend Buhurt. Quick PSA, just because the differences can be hard to spot from the outside.
from what I've seen Buhurt is more of a team sport, with events like "The battle of the nations" where the object is scoring hits and points by taking opponents out. A lot of HEMA is mainly focused on one-on-one techniques while using civilian clothing (Bloßfechten) while Harnischfechten is less popular due to the costs related to the acquisition and maintenance of a full set of historical armor. The main difference with LARP or SCA stuff is that they both use blunt weapons with spatulated or rolled tips instead of foam boffers or synthetic padded weapons, and in the case of Buhurt, halfswording and piercing techniques are discouraged and viewed as fouls. But yeah, I agree that Buhurt is incredibly dangerous, because their weapons are seldom balanced to be safe, and there's just no realistic way of eventually being trampled and controlling fractures and concussions.
Funny how Jacob really wanted something vertical, and even when Julia drew a long vertical character, he changed it to make it better suited for horizontal screen. Like the pose, composition and the shapes he put in, it all makes it look wide and horizontal and that’s funny to me-
Dude Nathan killed it in this episode. He simplified it really well but just kept making it better.
Jacob's reaction to getting blind-sided by Julia's bad pun was so Charlie Brown. Jacob the phrase you were looking for was "Oh Good Grief!"
I love that they did the whole Eldrich Principal bit but realized halfway through "wait this is the plot of Soul Eater" great episode
You know Jacob and Julia kind of already did this ages ago with the creepy-to-cute challenge they did (I will never forget cowboy worm or his horrible monster son), it's cool to see them revisit the concept with different levels of simiplification! I also second trying this challenge in reverse, with giving a simple character more detail each time.
There's actually another episode of drawclass where they came up with a character named Mark, who did "nose hacks". I think it went Julia, Nathan, Jacob as well at the time... Absolutely hilarious that one
th-cam.com/video/FHN2RVp_ml8/w-d-xo.html there you go
I really love Nathan's The Deep One. They're so very endearing and they're the teacher that every school needs.
This video is the purest form of the "manga, anime, Netflix adaptation" meme
I love this! I'd be happy to see the reverse but also would like to suggest a version with Karina: Nathan draws an animal, Karina makes it an uncomfortably hot anthro, Julia turns it into a Fashion Person 😁
This!👆
And Jacob comes in at the end to do a 3 panel comic with the resulting character
Wasn't that the "Furry telephone" episode, more or less?
That intense Nathan laugh genuinely healed a bit of my soul today. I needed that energy.
this is another one of those situations where they decided to set up a thing around what Julia normally does, but Julia never acts like they expect her to
anyone else have to take a pause when those renders came in, very nice indeed 👌
Thank you, Drawfee, for hitting the recess of my mind that adore cosmically horrific characters with a soft, caring, wise, therapist-like side. Bonus points for teacher. I am so endeared. I love them
I like the airbrush-y colour style of Julia’s render, but I also LOVE the way Nathan coloured the helmet-skull on his
"Immortal other-worldly powerful being trying to fit in with human customs" is such a good trope and the Deep One fits it so well
also I hope Karina is in on the 'this is America' joke, I have a feeling she'd take it and run with it
"Artists Draw Needlessly Gendered Products" sounds like a fun drawing challenge. Maybe you could even use a random item generator of some kind to determine what product you draw, and then draw it as being a gentle ladies' item or an aggressive product for REAL men.
Bonus points; draw the same object as both!
And maybe even draw an ad for the objects !
Let's get some manly face powder or ladylike carpentry tools
@@Sceptile29 I have seen Lady tools and they never fail to make me laugh, just stick some hot pink on it and call it a day
@@kalesmart1 Ah yes. There is just no way a woman can hang up a picture with any hammer that isn't pink. :P
Today on drawfee, Staples finds a jingle, space-ocean-war-priest The Deep One doesn’t like hot wings, snoopy is an eldritch god, Nathan fucking breaks and YOU BETTER BE SATISFIED.
I love how Julia, the least knowledgeable on Pokemon, ended up drawing a fancy Arceus
I literally thought the same thing! Scrolled all the way here to see if somebody else noticed human arceus
Arceus is The Deep One’s dog
