"Don't kill off the part of you that is cringey. Kill off the part of you that cringes." edit: OMG, I typed this before I finished the video, I can't believe the third art piece also had this quote!
The things people assume to be cringe is just being marginalized, enjoying atypical things, and then being mocked for it; actual cringe is being close-minded and hateful towards divergence. Unhinged fandom madness that makes no sense but doesn't really harm anyone? You do you, boo. Being discriminatory and vitriolic and using it to scam people out of their money? That's cringe.
The initial statement of Karina saying "the first piece, the theme was girls. I like girls." In response to the prompt of things she liked as a kid is very relatable. I too was a kid who liked girls, thank you Karina 😂
Lol it's funny because she's ace like me, but I'm aroace so I'm not even attracted to girls romantically but I still love women in general 😂 I refuse to draw men, they aren't nearly as fun or pretty! I want to make everything pretty and sparkly and feminine! 🎉
karina saying "i went for a more classical composition" while destielconfession's spreadeagled presentation forms in front of us has such potent energy to it
"I was trying to go with a pretty symmetrical composition here, to evoke kind of a more classical looking image and feeling," -Karina, while drawing the widely spread legs of her anthropomorphic Neopet
I think Julia talking about how she could never make something like this is really interesting because of the fact that this sort of style fundamentally requires a LOT of knowledge on how DeviantArt/early 2000's internet culture works that's extremely hard to replicate unless you were actually a part of it. Like, this sort of compositional knowledge isn't something that can really be taught in the same way as something like shading or lineart, and the fact that it's almost intrinsic to her like "Well, of course the mixed media collage needs song lyrics" makes this all the more impressive Genuinely really cool to see the rock lee weights come off like this. Also, the fact that she found a way to essentially weaponize her cringe to make her art even more authentic is phenomenal and, again, not something a lot of people are really capable of
I feel like that encompasses a part of "art style development" that is genuinely difficult to explain which is the development of your own personal aesthetic tastes based on the enrichment you recieve Like, it becomes such a fundamental thing that you never think twice about. Its so engrained into your process and inner eye that its subconscious and unexplainable. Attempting to explain to you how I arrived at the thing that I did would be like trying to explain every impulse I've ever had. Its just your essence now, and you cannot rationalize essence.
I remember Karina mentioning how she couldn't figure out painting digitally. So seeing her popping off sculpting and drawing traditionally so she can get the textures she likes is actually smart powerful and girlboss of her. Kill the part of you that cringes
Karina audibly struggling to keep a straight face while explaining the religious allusions in her composition, while watching herself draw her neopet in the most incriminating pose imaginable xD
I will face my cringe. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the cringe has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
For those of you who get light-/flash-sensitive like me, the pulsing/flashing camera sections are: >10:26-13:46 (sculpting the little guys) >21:44-22:28 (drawing anime eyes and wings on paper) >29:56-30:05 (KK Circus bonus footage) This was a really fun watch, and I'm looking forward to what y'all will do next!
I think Nathan's will come when he actually just codes a video game for a speed draw. I don't know if he has any idea how to do that but that's just how I feel.
@@ConnorGrummer There is an actual possibility of Julia doing this considering she aspires to make a video game and has been talking about game ideas. And at one point in a Drawfee stream(I forgot which one) she made, a very faint, C++ programming joke...So this is kinda scary
"Julia, is that Blendr?" "Karina, is that Plasticine?" "Nathan, is that colony of ants following pheromone instructions to dig out a perfect 3D scale model of the entire New York Subway System?" "Jacob, is that the Moon??"
Caldwell is rolling over in his grave.. hes not dead, he just likes rolling around in his grave.. hes a weird guy, but im sure, hes a proud papa of his children growing up..
Julia made a clay Luigi and karina was like WAIT WE CAN DO THAT?!?!? And promptly lost her damn mind. Thanks karina you’ve done us all a service this day
I mean this in the best way possible: The sheer DeviantArt vibes from these three pieces is something I haven't seen/felt in years, and it is refreshing my soul. The unfettered IM GONNA DRAW THE THINGS I LIKE energy.......I'm in love
jacob getting distracted and saying "sorry, i think karina popped off again" while out and about... why did that make my heart so happy, the fact that these guys are not just coworkers but also display genuine friendship makes my lonely little ass so fucking HAPPY
@@mewithyouu i wish i could say it was mine, but it's a suggested picture for my google profile 😭 it is so cute though i'm glad it was a nice lil thing worth commenting on, love a good snake friend and i hope you have a good day/night :)
Karina continously talking about things she like to the point of needing to stop herself and swallow is so relatable to me. And i am so glad that terriermon and his depressed brother were invited to to the little guy party.
Omg I noticed that! It made me endeared to her even more. I too love talking about my favorite things to the point of needing to swallow or take a breath
this episode is INCREDIBLE. It has Everything! It has GIRL, IT has little guy, it has CRINGE, it has Karina baring her soul in the most unhinged way possible for 30 minutes. loved it. would love to see more
Karina's art invokes such a bizarre cocktail of emotions. At first I thought I was going to play this episode as like,, background noise as I was drawing, but then it just kept getting more and more deranged to the point where I couldn't look away. At one point I was sitting at the edge of my seat, hunched over in an almost prayer-like position like I was some lowly plebeian awaiting in both reverence and dread for whatever calamity my God would impose on me. I had to pee for a significant amount of this video. I had to pee real bad, but pressing pause wasn't an option. It was never an option.
This is just to Karina specifically: you have been instrumental in me accepting what brings me joy as not something to be embarrassed of and I understood these posters deep in my soul
Sometimes it's just the breakup of the monotony of drawing yes it's fun to draw, but sometimes breaking it up just further helps the creativity aspect. It's the same thing for learning something new yes it might be more complex, but it's funner that way :)
this unlocks a part of my artist brain that makes me want to retreat into a cave and draw manically for 80 hours straight while only eating sliced fruit
Man, I kinda want to do a piece now too, unfortunately my brain is stuck in "from observation practice your basics" because I'm working on tying up a college portfolio and- surprise, surpirse- I've put off my from observation because I don't enjoy it as much
The fact that I knew it was America from the first side of his glasses... That being said, these were absolutely insane and I really wanna see the others try collages! EDIT: Karina painting to clown music at the end is everything 😭
I thought it was victor from yuri on ice and then I realized it's america bc of the glasses 😭 man I was obsessed with both fandoms back in middle school...
Mixed media collage is such a compelling medium, it really scratches a specific itch in your brain y'know? The fact that Karina produced not one, but THREE of the most powerful images I've ever seen all in one episode is so fucking impressive omg. Also, I NEED that episode Julia suggested for album art but with favorite characters!!!
"Album art but with favorite characters" (an idea which I totally second!) went through a few weird turns in my mind and skipped a few steps and combined with some weird fun art pieces I've seen to inspire another idea: The Drawgang recreates classical art pieces (maybe all of them create different versions/parodies of the same ones) but with favorite characters. Idk, I just really want to see Karina do a "Saturn Devouring His Son" featuring Sonic somehow lmao
Karina ABSOLUTELY popped off, holy hell! These pieces are giving "all over the place, unhinged, but clearly meaningful in some fucked up way" and that speaks to my inner child that also had weird-ass deviantart/little guy/cringe phases. Kinda similar vibes as Paradise Killer, so out there but I loved that game
This is making me very excited to play Paradise Killer; thank you :) (It's gotten lost in my backlog but after your comment I may dive in and go rescue it soon!)
@@Maradrafts I hope you'll enjoy it! It's definitely a bit clunky but it doesn't make excuses for its weirdness, so if you can just roll with it, it'll be a really unique experience 😄
@@werewolf1301 Duly noted (your thoughts ass well as Madaian's^^). Thank you for the pointers - there's nothing I'm more afraid of than spoilers when it comes to video games, but on the other hand, people sharing their non-spoilery impressions, enthusiasm and passion for a specific title I absolutely adore. So regardless of what _my_ thoughts on the game end up being, I'm grateful to the both of you! This exchange made me smile :)
As a kid I really love the cartoon "Tom und das Erdbeermarmeladebrot mit Honig” (Tom and the strawberry-jam sandwich with honey), wherein Tom starts off each episode on a quest to assemble the eponymous sandwich. As an adult, I realised how much this show is about contentment: not once (as far as I’m aware) does Tom eat a whole sandwich; he either shares it with the friends who helped him get or doesn’t eat anything at all, and still he ends each day being “wishless and happy” (wunschlos glücklich). It’s not the object of your desire that makes you happy, but the journey to get it, and doing it with the people you love. Also, the Strawberrymouse and her Crocodile are an adorable power-couple. (The show is only available in German, but the dialogues are depicted in pictograms in speechbaloons, so if you want to, you could check it out).
I haven't thought about this show in years! There were also little "choose Tom's story" minigames about the episodes online and I was obsessed with those as a child.
Episode idea: One artist draws something and the other 3 render it. Each in their own style, So there's 3 different renders of the same original sketch.
Karina, through pained laughter, while her neopet’s legs are spread on screen: “I tried to evoke religious imagery” I’m gonna be thinking about this for a long time.
I think just about every episode that I have bookmarked has Karina being possessed by the spirit of the internet and then just letting it free. I envy the madness they bring to the table on a regular basis
KARINA has POPPED OFF!! unhinged, beautiful, so powerful! I am in love with the energy of all three pieces, im in awe. crying pissing shiting and humming.
so, this has to be my fav episode, not because it is funny, but, because it is moving, it's motavanional, it actaully helps with my depression, and not just in the escapeism way, it just is the oppsite of my state of mind that makes me depressed. it just screams "Nothing matters, just have fun with it", you somehow mangued to boil down the last two years of learning and seeing how far I have left to go into 30 mins. This is what the next checkpoint of my life is. Karina, thank you for just being you.
Pieces like this makes me remember they are whole ass artist and not just shitposters and meme lords, they definitely do art for a living, amazing Karina, it's beautifully executed
As a kid I was also obsessed with the 101 Dalmatians, to the point where I had all 101 of them as imaginary friends. Holding the door open for them took a while....
The current Drawfee vibe, to me, is like Drawfee Variety Hour mixed with drunk girl at the bar who becomes the ultimate hype man and I am so absolutely here for it.
Amazed that Karina wanted to do a collage, and then it was suggested that instead she do three categorised drawings, so instead she did THREE collages. Wild. Incredible. I'm in awe.
THE GRAVITATION RABBIT AAAAAA and Hetalia America my god I feel called out plus the mixed media.... Karina is so talented and relatable bless this episode
I get so caught up in art needing to be polished and proper and consumable that the idea of making intentionally cringe-inspired genuine fanart is such a liberating idea. That you for this chaotic gift 🙏 Edit: I FORGOT ABOUT THE POST CREDITS SCENE AND NEARLY CACKLED AT WORK
Karina is so dang talented and I love how she just owns her "cringe" These types of 3 panels 1 artist episodes seem really cool! I'd like to see more of them if they aren't too difficult on the artist doing them
All these pieces are so good but the cringe one is so incredibly powerful... imagine Castiel, crying, staring at you from your dining room every day (also I love this this multimedia era!!!)
Honestly watching the different Tom faces was a work of art in and of itself, if this was ever displayed in a museum I'd want it to be playing on a ten second loop
I have never felt so compassionately understood yet violently called out in Karina pointedly not naming "that rabbit". Like reaching into my soul to grab my inner teenager and giving them a thumbs up.
Drawing suggestion: draw each other into an isekai. Example- Nathan is king of dinosaurs in a prehistoric world; Karina uses a Digimon deck in a YuGiOh-esque dimension; Julia is a Drawtective in an isekai full of vampires; and Jacob is the leader of a bunch of little guys rebelling against hot villains.
Consider settings which are a little more... fish out of water? Or maybe a swap of sorts? Karina ends up near dinosaurs, Julia in a YuGiOh-esque dimension & Nathan with ze vampires. Oh. I've forgotten Jacob. Somehow... the rebellion of little guys, really fits. Additional kudos!
I was going to hit y'all up like "hey do you have the full rez for prints" and bless Karina for making them poster sized and available on patreon THANK YOU
The fact that this video isn't more widely watched is a travesty because it's like, top 10 of all time for me. It's so genuine and sweet and full of gorgeous art.
I’m just desperately hoping one of these is someone’s first drawfee video, because I feel like that would be so confusing to see pop up and knowing that’s possible is very funny to me
This is the perfect example of why having friends in your field are so important. I feel like the drawfee crew have all been indirectly causing growth that they would never have gotten alone.
I'm back on Tumblr and this is the first Drawfee episode after and I can't help but take it as a sign to continue what I'm doing cringe for life honestly
Karina keeps working extra time these days! So many solo work, we love to see it. And GOD MIXED MEDIA REIGNS SUPREME!!! I love seeing the new ideas the team is bringing, in episode formats, mediums, streams, and all around creativity. Also, half of drawfee has done digital... Nathan and Jacob better keep up
I love it when Karina and Julia go full crazed art mode! Hope we get to see Nathan and Jacob let the art muse poses their bodies and go full crazed art mode one day XD
Thank you Karina, for reminding me that art is actually meant to be unhinged and something you like to do and something you want to love. I'm gonna go make a mess now 😊
i’ve been watching drawfee since at least 6th grade and now i’m starting college in the fall and one of the reasons that i’ve watched and loved drawfee so much all these years and looked up to all four of y’all as artists, because you can churn out amazing pieces week after week but you’re still artists and just like me and y’all sometimes go, “eh idk, i just fucked around” or “i don’t like how this came out but it’s done” just like me, and it makes me feel like i can accomplish anything i want because every artist feels that way no matter their skill level- y’all are so important to me
This was beautiful, honestly. Mixed-media zine pages combining all your favourite characters from childhood should be the next social media trend for artists!
It's amazing how Karina can boil down her entire artistic career into the gargantuan understatement "I liked things as a kid"
It almost felt like cheating to give her this prompt since she more than anyone on the show seems to have stuck with all her childhood fandoms…
It's nice just letting her explore and celebrate all her loved characters
I enjoy Nathan's journey as well: "I liked elephants and my parents were unable to provide me with the quantity of elephant pictures I required."
i wish i liked things as a kid.
she's so me fr
i really love this genre of Drawfee episodes: "We took the limiters off Karina, let's see what happens"
Rock Lee weights
That transition from digital to plasticine was the exact 'taking off a bit of weight isn't gonna change anyth-' KABOOM scene
My favorite example of that being the otp episode 💯
Do you have any other episodes in this genre in particular that you can recommend? The energy in this video was immaculate.
@@LeviReeves02i would probably say ‘drawing the ultimate tumblr sexyman’ ??
Karina singlehandedly took my fear of being cringe because she's not cool IN SPITE of being cringe, she's cool BECAUSE she's cringe
Weirdly, that was Dr Who for me. 😅
It's literally just conference.
"Don't kill off the part of you that is cringey. Kill off the part of you that cringes."
edit: OMG, I typed this before I finished the video, I can't believe the third art piece also had this quote!
The things people assume to be cringe is just being marginalized, enjoying atypical things, and then being mocked for it; actual cringe is being close-minded and hateful towards divergence. Unhinged fandom madness that makes no sense but doesn't really harm anyone? You do you, boo. Being discriminatory and vitriolic and using it to scam people out of their money? That's cringe.
A hero, an absolute role model I will tell my children tales about.

The 3 stacked plasticine dolls are so vaporwave somehow, I love it! Also the cringe one deserves to be a blingee.

I want a tatoo that says julia is this blender😂😂😂

I'm not a fan of Jacob's portrait mostly because the face looks weird to me.

As a person who can barely read in silence, sometimes weird things work for different people. Everyone have their own little quirks

the feral, unhinged self-indulgence of these pieces of literal art are truly amazing. inspirational, even. WHERE IS KARINA'S EMMY?!?!!!

Thank you for the pointers - there's nothing I'm more afraid of than spoilers when it comes to video games, but on the other hand, people sharing their non-spoilery impressions, enthusiasm and passion for a specific title I absolutely adore. So regardless of what _my_ thoughts on the game end up being, I'm grateful to the both of you! This exchange made me smile :)
The struggle to mix brown from whatever random acrylic paints you have on hand is so relatable though
That music is the perfect representation
As a kid I really love the cartoon "Tom und das Erdbeermarmeladebrot mit Honig” (Tom and the strawberry-jam sandwich with honey), wherein Tom starts off each episode on a quest to assemble the eponymous sandwich. As an adult, I realised how much this show is about contentment: not once (as far as I’m aware) does Tom eat a whole sandwich; he either shares it with the friends who helped him get or doesn’t eat anything at all, and still he ends each day being “wishless and happy” (wunschlos glücklich). It’s not the object of your desire that makes you happy, but the journey to get it, and doing it with the people you love.
Also, the Strawberrymouse and her Crocodile are an adorable power-couple.
(The show is only available in German, but the dialogues are depicted in pictograms in speechbaloons, so if you want to, you could check it out).
I haven't thought about this show in years! There were also little "choose Tom's story" minigames about the episodes online and I was obsessed with those as a child.
Episode idea:
One artist draws something and the other 3 render it.
Each in their own style, So there's 3 different renders of the same original sketch.
+
+2
This is an amazing idea
+3
i think one person rendering three different pieces might be a better episode. they may have already done that now that i think about it
Karina, through pained laughter, while her neopet’s legs are spread on screen: “I tried to evoke religious imagery”
I’m gonna be thinking about this for a long time.
Karina evoking the Song of Solomon
I think just about every episode that I have bookmarked has Karina being possessed by the spirit of the internet and then just letting it free. I envy the madness they bring to the table on a regular basis
Side note, I DO actually want that cringe one as a poster XD
@@TomNCatz same it's strangely beautiful
KARINA has POPPED OFF!! unhinged, beautiful, so powerful! I am in love with the energy of all three pieces, im in awe. crying pissing shiting and humming.
so, this has to be my fav episode, not because it is funny, but, because it is moving, it's motavanional, it actaully helps with my depression, and not just in the escapeism way, it just is the oppsite of my state of mind that makes me depressed. it just screams "Nothing matters, just have fun with it", you somehow mangued to boil down the last two years of learning and seeing how far I have left to go into 30 mins. This is what the next checkpoint of my life is. Karina, thank you for just being you.
karina's clay dolls would fit seamlessly into an analog horror game and i adore them so much. cutie pies tbh
It reminded me a lot of the mixed media approach in Hylics, I really think Jacob and Karina would love that game.
@@governor_explosion i wanna watch a hylics gameplay sooo bad bc every image i seen of it is all i need in life but i keep procrastinatinggg
@@bandidocavalierI watched my sister play a bit a Holida and it’s definitely got a cool art style
Pieces like this makes me remember they are whole ass artist and not just shitposters and meme lords, they definitely do art for a living, amazing Karina, it's beautifully executed
I feel like that last piece was something i wasn't supposed to see but Karina is an absolute gigalord of confidence for showing us
Anyone who owns their cringe with as much swag as Karina -- enough to use it as fodder for her career-- is a powerful force indeed.
I can’t wait for Stack Of Clay Figures to be a returning character
As a kid I was also obsessed with the 101 Dalmatians, to the point where I had all 101 of them as imaginary friends. Holding the door open for them took a while....
Karina has straight up ascended. Fantastic. No revisions needed. These are just perfect.
Karina is the embodiment of the little goblin that sits on my shoulder, whispering chaotic platitudes in my ear, and I love it.
I’m only a third of the way into the video, but this whole episode feels like a showcase of how explosively creative and talented Karina is.
The current Drawfee vibe, to me, is like Drawfee Variety Hour mixed with drunk girl at the bar who becomes the ultimate hype man and I am so absolutely here for it.
this was oddly inspirational. thank you drawfee i will embrace the way of "killing the part of you that cringes"
15:25 julias "totally cube-ular" is something im gonna end up quoting daily its so unnecessarily hilarious
Karina continues to absolutely kill it
And yes Julia is right, they should do the album cover idea
Amazed that Karina wanted to do a collage, and then it was suggested that instead she do three categorised drawings, so instead she did THREE collages. Wild. Incredible. I'm in awe.
THE GRAVITATION RABBIT AAAAAA and Hetalia America my god I feel called out plus the mixed media.... Karina is so talented and relatable bless this episode
this entire episode was utterly feral and unhinged in the most entertaining way possible. thank u.
I get so caught up in art needing to be polished and proper and consumable that the idea of making intentionally cringe-inspired genuine fanart is such a liberating idea. That you for this chaotic gift 🙏
Edit: I FORGOT ABOUT THE POST CREDITS SCENE AND NEARLY CACKLED AT WORK
Karina's, "ripping out the armature" -- is a phrase likely to stay with me today.
As a stop-motion animator, that phrase brought back dozens of frustrating memories
Free the skeletons
The real drawfee was the armature we ripped out along the way
@@itisALWAYSR.A. perfect timing. The pause it gives me was just starting to wear off.
Karina is so dang talented and I love how she just owns her "cringe"
These types of 3 panels 1 artist episodes seem really cool! I'd like to see more of them if they aren't too difficult on the artist doing them
Karina really out here taking a prompt and making the most poignant triptych of our modern age
Can’t believe Destiel confession has his whole biblicussy out in this one
I cant believe Karina sculpted, cured my art block, and gave me amazing music recommendations in the SAME episode how did she do this it's amazing
KESHA'S NEW ALBUM IS SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD
All these pieces are so good but the cringe one is so incredibly powerful... imagine Castiel, crying, staring at you from your dining room every day (also I love this this multimedia era!!!)
Honestly watching the different Tom faces was a work of art in and of itself, if this was ever displayed in a museum I'd want it to be playing on a ten second loop
"Sorry, one second... I think Karina popped off again" is an incredible statement
Well now Nathan and Jacob gotta do clay stuff
That first piece somehow unintentionally captured the vapor wave aesthetic and nobody mentioned it lol
I have never felt so compassionately understood yet violently called out in Karina pointedly not naming "that rabbit". Like reaching into my soul to grab my inner teenager and giving them a thumbs up.
What's the rabbit from?
I dug through the comments for this one. What is the rabbit? 😶
I want to know too
@@meotys6276 It's from Gravitation
@@DarkwaterSmidgethank you! i knew i recognized it but my brain absolutely could not pinpoint it
Drawing suggestion: draw each other into an isekai. Example- Nathan is king of dinosaurs in a prehistoric world; Karina uses a Digimon deck in a YuGiOh-esque dimension; Julia is a Drawtective in an isekai full of vampires; and Jacob is the leader of a bunch of little guys rebelling against hot villains.
Kudos to you to keep commenting this, I’d really like to see it
I truly do appreciate this suggestion
Hopefully they see this
PLEASE
Consider settings which are a little more... fish out of water? Or maybe a swap of sorts? Karina ends up near dinosaurs, Julia in a YuGiOh-esque dimension & Nathan with ze vampires. Oh. I've forgotten Jacob. Somehow... the rebellion of little guys, really fits. Additional kudos!
I am absolutely floored by every piece this is legitimately so masterful.
I was going to hit y'all up like "hey do you have the full rez for prints" and bless Karina for making them poster sized and available on patreon THANK YOU
The fact that this video isn't more widely watched is a travesty because it's like, top 10 of all time for me. It's so genuine and sweet and full of gorgeous art.
Seeing Karina draw America from Hetalia was truly something I didn't know I needed in life, thank you for this ❤
for every video with these new portraits so far, every time julia pops up its so jarring😂 i love it
I’m just desperately hoping one of these is someone’s first drawfee video, because I feel like that would be so confusing to see pop up and knowing that’s possible is very funny to me
This is the perfect example of why having friends in your field are so important. I feel like the drawfee crew have all been indirectly causing growth that they would never have gotten alone.
I love how Karina's mind works, these are masterpieces.
Karina drawing Destiel confessions with legs spread like she wasn't referencing Artpop. All she needed was the blue ball between its legs!
I'm back on Tumblr and this is the first Drawfee episode after and I can't help but take it as a sign to continue what I'm doing cringe for life honestly
embrace your inner cringy tumblrina! also its weird meeting tumblr people outside of tumblr
It's Karina's energy, she just draws us out of the dumpsterfire like nasty lil raccoons looking for scraps. She's one of ours @@shirisuchodolsky1376
Karina keeps working extra time these days! So many solo work, we love to see it. And GOD MIXED MEDIA REIGNS SUPREME!!! I love seeing the new ideas the team is bringing, in episode formats, mediums, streams, and all around creativity. Also, half of drawfee has done digital... Nathan and Jacob better keep up
I love it when Karina and Julia go full crazed art mode! Hope we get to see Nathan and Jacob let the art muse poses their bodies and go full crazed art mode one day XD
When Karina drew Kumagoro and said IYNYN, I felt a visceral reaction lmao. Gravitation really hit our generation some kind of way.
Gravitation walked so good BL series could run.
Thank you Karina, for reminding me that art is actually meant to be unhinged and something you like to do and something you want to love. I'm gonna go make a mess now 😊
the girls poster and the cringe poster….im SO obsessed like she is really the genius mind of our generation
this is some of the most powerful art i have ever seen... i want to study karina under a microscope
Honestly, Karina is scarier than Julia when she goes fully off the deep end.
i’ve been watching drawfee since at least 6th grade and now i’m starting college in the fall
and one of the reasons that i’ve watched and loved drawfee so much all these years and looked up to all four of y’all as artists, because you can churn out amazing pieces week after week but you’re still artists and just like me and y’all sometimes go, “eh idk, i just fucked around” or “i don’t like how this came out but it’s done” just like me, and it makes me feel like i can accomplish anything i want because every artist feels that way no matter their skill level- y’all are so important to me
this might be one of my fave episodes of Drawfee ever. Just one of the Drawfees POPPING off and going insane
I want Karina's clay figures on a shirt so so badly, they are incredible
Literally came to the comments to say this. Was she doing merch design at the same time or AT THE SAME TIME, yk?
Karina is an insane art gremlin. This is a good thing.
i'd love to see julia's suggestion of an album challenge be an episode !!!
Absolutely! Like when Marvel did comic book covers based on hip hop albums
Karina’s overachiever arc, and showing the true chaos of an artist mind.
This was beautiful, honestly. Mixed-media zine pages combining all your favourite characters from childhood should be the next social media trend for artists!
