When folks complain, it often says more about their day, or lives, than what you do. I am always grateful for those that share tutorials and hints and reviews. Thank you for all the time and energy that you spend to make videos and share with all of us. (And feel free to reread those POSITIVE comments every day, because you deserve them.)
I appreciate that
I appreciate that
Another quote from Eleanor Roosevelt that has been my favorite for MANY years is, "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission."
Remember that you do so much to help and inspire so many of us. And importantly you bring joy and laughter which can be very hard for some of us to find.
I love that one too, it had got me through hard times myself:)
If anyone leaves bad comments they're just jealous of A. Your beautiful work and B. What a lovely person you are! Rise above the haters because you make a lot of people happy! Xxx
danni 81 thank you:)

Thanks as usual Lindsay. Glad you have moved and this has not dampened your spirit. You are a great uplift and an inspiration to everyone. I can say for myself you are the best thing that has happened to me on you tube. I will not miss a video now and follow your blog. You have opened up a whole new life for me with your fab tutorials and i now have the confidence to tackle all sorts of projects that were previously out of my reach. Thank you again most sincerely.
It's funny, but even with your high energy, I find your videos so calming and soothing. I think of you as a friend! Thank you for being so kind and generous with your time and knowledge. I am sure I speak for hundreds of us when I say I am grateful for your presence here on You Tube.
aww, thanks so much:)
I am APPALLED at anyone that watches you tube videos and makes negative remarks to positive people. People like that...who needs em! Keep it up, Lindsay! I look forward to every single one of your videos! You are such a positive person. The world needs way more of them.
sometimes for practice, I suggest that people get a vogue magazine and either use tracing paper or an overhead transparency or just draw over the faces with felt tip pens to kind of imprint it in your brain, then try to redraw it in your journal. That proves to people that faces really do fall on the lines like you are talking about in your video. Just as I was typing this, you were saying the same thing! LOL!
+Sue Cole Interesting teaching tip. When I had students collect personal mark making styles we did something similar. I would have them find subjects that they love and trace them with a black sharpie, then draw those repeating lines in nature. Basically Lindsay instructs practice repeating facial shape contours and you urge tracing repetition. These techniques of tracing over faces helps people build the hand muscle memory to draw faces and confidence!
I absolutely LOVE watching your videos/tutorials. My niece is an artist and I am in awe at such gifting. I can craft but not draw. Thank you for sharing your gifting with us.
Oh Lindsay -- I don't often comment but I am a loyal subbie for sure. I can't wait to see what you are up to each day and I look forward to hearing your beautiful voice. Why anyone would bother to comment negatively on a video of yours is beyond me -- if they don't like it .... Helloooooo!! A click of the mouse can take them somewhere else on the World Wide Web! Where I might add they can find numerous and I do mean numerous videos to comment negatively about. Next time you get one of those comments -- please just say "NNNEXXXXTTTTT!" Love you!
Please never fester about any of my comments! You are my inspiration! I will look at other tutorials but you are my number one! I will compare others to you in a positive way not a negative way.
aww, thank you!
I love using quotes, I did a whole wall with quotes :) but I matted and distressed them first. Thank you for help with faces. You're an awesome teacher!!!
I love your happy, energetic upbeat style. Great tutorial, and I loved the quote.Thanks for sharing.
OMG! Girl you rock!!! I think you're absolutely a wonderful tutor! I love your enthusiasm!
I read some where online one day that said, "Some people just need a high-five in the face with a chair!"
Hey Teach, don't let that one bad apple spoil your day, you have a whole bunch more that think you're awesome!!!
Lindsay,
We are so lucky to have you share your many talents and teaching with us. I have noticed at least one "thumbs down" on most of your videos but seldom see any negative remarks; I always think that person must not understand what the thumbs mean. It is like the reviews on Amazon where someone gives a one star (they hate it) and say it was their favorite book. LOL Some of your videos are things I'm not into but that's OK. Someone else will enjoy that project. I'll just keep watching for one that interests me. Thanks for all the smiles you give us.
thanks PAt:)
I think your art is unique and great. Many people as myself learn a lot by watching the different Techniques you use and apply it to their own art.
awwww.... Dear Lindsay, it's obvious you have a heart of gold. Just such a lovely, kind and thoughtful person. Thanks for the quote, I too used to be bombarded by what felt like constant criticism, even in the midst of generous compliments. From out of the blue, those hurtful arrows felt like an ambush and never knowing where or when the next attack would occur made it even worse. Suppose that's why submerging myself in art holds such appeal. I'm hiding. :/
While I've learned better and healthier ways of dealing with various re-occurring issues over the years, for whatever reason I've never really figured out how to cope with all the sustained negativity. It's had a cumulative effect; instead of getting better at dealing with random barbs and inexplicable demands, after several decades I'm now just exhausted by it all.
The only good news is that I've finally learned that it's okay for me to just... WALK AWAY, literally just walk away from them, to not give "energy vampires" the reaction they want in that moment, and instead, to _try_ to remind myself that their negativity is not my burden to bear. I'm still working on it though...
And of course it's okay for you to express your hurt later to the rest of us, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's also struggled with the same thing. Hope you're stronger now! :-) And as always, thanks for the vid. Maybe some journaling type thing would help me too...
love all your tips today Lindsay. I always enjoy your tutorials no matter what the topic.
You are my favorite u tube crafter, I have learned so much from you. I even mad my own gelli plate. Couldn't do it with out you. Thank you.
I can't think of someone giving you thumbs down. You are so nice and so helpful with your videos and tips. It's thanks that I started using watercolors (first time ever...) and pencils, stamps and all the stuff. Now I'm so excited I've just started my first art journal. I'm so grateful. Thanks again and keep going this way. Miriam
thank you Miriam:)
ok, first let me say thanks, this is something I've been trying to do and am struggling with...2nd...love the new catch phrase..."crazy eyes"....lol...that my friend is why I love you!!!!! you are so "real" and you are a joy to watch and you ALWAYS leave me with a smile on my face and joy in my heart
aww thanks:)
I am so sorry that some people have to ruin your day by being negative! Please try to let that roll off your back, you are a very talented artist and an inspiration to everyone! I love tuning in to your channel, thank you Lindsay for everything that you do! 😊😊
If I ever had my own channel, I'd wind up shutting off the comments...which would admittedly deprive me of the genuine people, but at the same time I hate how vicious people can be. If someone doesn't like your stuff, that's fine; but if they had any respect, they'd either walk away or make their criticism constructive. I'll never understand why people enjoy being rude. For what it's worth (even though this video has been out a long while), I just spent all night binge-watching your videos!
Lindsay- your tutorials are fabulous, you are talented and so generous! On top of it all, you are so cute and funny. Yes, the world has a bit of everything, including people that enjoy being unkind just for the heck of it. I'm glad that you were able to overcome the situation as we benefit from all you do!
XOXOXO
Eydie
Oh man! That couldn't have happened to a nicer, more talented and encouring art teacher. We have a family saying, "Perfect for ignoring!" Now go pat yourself on the back for generously sharing your talent and incredible interest in so many things. We are blessed to have you in our lives!
aww, thank you:) The positive vibes from this community are awesome:)
Love the tutorial. I haven't quite reached the right look of a face, but you just made it look so easy and a pattern so to speak that I can refer to whenever I need to draw a face . Thanks Lindsey, you're the best!!!!
Great tips and faces. Just what I needed. I find that people who are critics just wanted to be an artist so they feel the need to try to ruin someone else's day.
People that are critical are just miserable with themselves with whatever it might be.
Lindsay, I'm binge watching your videos and this one popped up. It reminded me of one of your recent videos. I'm commenting to ask you to rewatch this one so you can listen to the Lindsay from 5 years ago. Meaning: Eff what negative people have to say! Do YOU and those that love you will still love you!😍😍😍
Just wanted to let you know how useful and awesome this tutorial is. I've always found drawing faces difficult and won't any more. Many thanks (and I don't know anyone else who could teach this so clearly (and with so much enthusiasm and fun) in just 9 minutes. You are amazing, and inspire me daily.
aww, thanks Clare:)
Love your videos! Love your tutorials! Love your sunny personality!
Lindsay, yes dont let it get to you (i know easier said than done) I NEEDED THIS QUOTE, too SO THANKS! i cant believe someone wouldnt like your vids/tuts! they are great! i haved watched literally hundreds of 'how to' vids and the like, and BELIEVE me, you are a gem and one of the ONLY ones i will watch and ENJOY!! others might have great ideas, but just dont have what it takes to make good/great vids. YOU do, my dear... so dont fret....just keep making em and we will keep enjoying them!! a BIG THANK YOU for what you do for us and always inspiring us and cheering us up :)
it was one on making a multi strand necklace and what I gleaned from her, um, feedback was that she wanted specific directions where as I am more like " cut the wire the length of the necklace you want and use the beads you like" instead of "cut the wier 22" and use twelve 20 mm citron briolettes, thirty 12mm roundels etc" I would rather give you ideas and info on adapting it for with you have and want to make than just copy me exactly, where is the fun in that. My style is clearly not for her, and that is OK but 5 comments to tell me what I was doing wrong, why did she keep watching? OK I am done beating that dead horse LOL! Have a wonderful night and thanks for your kind words:)
thefrugalcrafter . Some people seem to think that people who do videos on TH-cam owe them something. I follow another person on you tube who makes money selling flower templates that she makes (and sells them for a very reasonable price), and one lady blasted her for selling them instead of giving them away! There are always bad apples in every bunch. You just have to ignore them (after calling them whatever names you want to in your head).
thefrugalcrafter . lol dead horse! please dont change your way! you have always answered people if they had specific questions... we love the way you do your videos, you inspire and give 'instructions' but not boxed in so we cant add our own creativity! when it is important, you give it to us, otherwise, most of us ' have a clue' as to what to do! and you are there for us when we have doubt/hand holding! lol DONT CHANGE YOUR STYLE! you rock! she needs to go to a professional class and PAY for it to get specific instructions i guess, this is not for her. and its not like you are getting paid to share with us... geeze! people need to get a clue and have something called 'GRATITUDE'! :) Lindsay i appreciate you very much and what you do for us....... and you may never know just what you do that helps many of us until we all leave this earth!
BlaizC so true, people dont have a clue sometimes! Lindsay and others share knowledge and inspirations but are not obligated to us at all...... get a clue people! and gratitude! :)
Just have to remember that negative people, they are sad and miserable, just be glad you don't live between their ears....
Love your stuff here, even the things I have less interest in, it's still fun to watch, I'm learning so much from you and appreciate all the time and effort you put into this channel. :)
You are the best...I look for you everyday! Don't let anyone tell you any different.
I was having a really bad day.. Woke up in a bad mood, and I'm three months pregnant.. So mood swings are a go! The start if this video was playing as I was picking out something to wear to go out.. My hubby has been trying to be sweet and understanding, but nothing work.. I was worried about how people would going to think and this just made me stop and think.. Thank you !
awww, you are welcome sweetie and I know how you feel, I has twins LOL! I'm sure you are beautiful, glowing and everything, I'm sure THAT is what others are thinking when they see you:)
As always I believe you are very talented. Since I can not draw stick people with a ruler and compass, I am in awe when I watch you just make it look so easy. Keep up the good work. You are a great artist but you are also funny and witty.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm excited to start working on drawing faces now -- it's one of those things I've tried and tried to do, with less than stellar results (some of the faces are downright scary, and that's truly not what I'm going for!) And if people are criticizing your videos for whatever reason, please try to see it as their problem, not yours. Your tutorials are wonderful -- I enjoy so much watching them, laughing along with you. Keep it up!
You have no idea how much joy you bring into everyone's lives love love love your work, your videos your awesome!!! Thank you for sharing your talent 💕 Tanya x
aww, thanks:)
So glad that you have gotten into the mixed media journaling. As if you didn't already have enough things to offer up :) But this is really fun. Thanks.
Oh please don't let that negative Nelly's get you down (no offense to non-negative Nelly's). You do great work and tutorials and are an inspiration to so many of us! You have inspired me to start drawing again over just stamping and card making let alone teaching me to knit etc.
Some people need to learn that if they can't say something nice or constructive then to say nothing at all. Sending you a cyber hug!!! Thank you for all that you do and your infectious enthusiasm. You always make my day brighter! and my "art" approachable rather than frozen inside of me.
thanks:) I'm glad:)
Thank you so much for this video. I used to draw all the time and have been off of it for many years. Like all things when you do not practice it kind of is rough when you come back to it. I have always struggled with faces and this made it so easy to understand the bases of drawing faces. For that I thank you. Hugz~Lynda
Thanks for another great video, Lindsay! I have learned how to do so many techniques and make so many things with your amazing videos! You are the best! ~Denise
I love watching you draw. Your hand moves so fast and you make it look so effortless. I am not sure what you mean by "gestural".
free-flowing and expressive:)
thefrugalcrafter . Ah, that was what I thought, but I always like to be sure. Thanks.
i cannot believe people actually give a thumbs down to someone who takes the time to do a tutorial. for free. SMH. thank you for sharing. !
You are friggin' amazing....omg.....your drawing rocks! You are so good, I love watching you work
TFS
Anita
Love your channel... I am thankful that your are kind enough to share your wisdom and love to teach it.
LOVE love love this! That is one of my favorite quotes too. I need to use it on one of my RCAD. Great faces and very helpful. TFS
So happy I found this video as I just had a go at the mermaid and well, the face. Oh I really had a problem but this popped up and now I'm going to have another go. Thanks Lindsay xxx
Love love love your art and personality!! Wish I had upbeat happy friends to hang out and craft with like you! :)
Lindsay - Loved this tutorial. Really appreciate your taking the time to show this to us. Thank you!
Elaine Allen
This video was totally awesome. I learnt A LOT! Thank you! I have been doing Jane Davenports drawing lessons and wanted to get some ideas on side facing and down facing so I wouldn't feel inadequate, so another perspective is really good for me to have, a whimsical face verses a more realistic face. Extremely important to any budding drawer.
Negative comments.. I don't have any videos, so I can only imagine how personal some people get, I would be devastated. I would have to remember that if they watched a video, that they obviously disliked, all the way to the end, then they were likely doing so just to be critical. Then there is 4580 views and only 4 thumbs down. (some people , like on tablets and Xbox etc can't leave comments trust me). I hope most crafter's ignore the thumbs down button - so the rest are Trolls (people who are determined to be meanie faces).
PS. I pinned this so some of my followers could have it, a simple tutorial is perfect for people that just want to have a go and have fun with it.
You make it look so easy and I was surprised on how well my came out following your direction. Thanks a bunch
So nice, love your style! Great teacher
Enjoyed this video, I want to learn how to draw faces. Thanks for the tips Lindsay!
Thanks for the tips on how to draw faces (I'm really bad at it 😅) I will try on my journal! Thank you, Lindsay! You are the best! 😙
Love your art and the way you share your technique brilliant keep up the good work happy crafting 😍
Hi Lindsay, you had a cold too, so sometimes feeling low + negative comment = festering! The rest of us love you to bits, girl!
I love your videos! Wishing you nothing but joy and thanking you for the countless hours of sharing our art. :)
I think you're amazing and this quick tutorial was fun to watch, especially how those crayons look a hot mess then POW everything comes into focus. TFS!
Love the quote and your finished journal page, so awesome! Linda Hardesty
Im so happy I found you, your videos are soooo helpful!! This was a helpful video and I will try it asap! I am trying my hand at water coloring and I agree, I think most artists are snobs and think expensive materials are a necessity. However I was happy to see your great tutorials and hear you say that paper and brushes are most important over expensive paints...If it weren't for that comment, I may have never started watercolor painting and I just love it!! I may have to try a craft fair soon too!! you are so inspiring!! THANKS
glad you are painting! Have fun! craft fairs are fun too!
Hmmm I see you opened a can of worms mentioning an unhappy viewer. You have quite a few subbies so one unsatisfied viewer is impressive statistics. I don't think I saw any of the comments. I tend to take in the opinion, swish it around, absorb the criticism if it's worthy and spit it out if it's not. Sounds like this was someone having a bad day if there was five comments. I love your art journaling!! Even if a page isn't my style you motivate me to work on my weekly page. Please don't stop your art journal! I too look every day for a new video! I love that you demonstrate a wide variety of mediums. PENCIL NECK ... made me LAUGH!
Thanks so much for your videos and a big thanks for passing on that quote. Its so true, Eleanor was a smart woman, Love the energy and inspiration of your videos, Thanks again!
Thank you so very much for your tutorials. I really enjoy your lighthearted approach in sharing. In regards to people critiquing your tutorials I feel that some people need to get a life! No, I personally do not take my time, money and efforts to completely expose myself to others "dislikes" or bad or insensitive comments....I am a subscriber to many TH-cam channels. And it bugs me when I hear you guys having to either defend yourselves or be bummed out because so coward is criticizing what you share. I believe that you probably sacrifice your time, some money and exposing yourself to others while someone sits in their home not doing the same but, slamming someone else. Sorry for the long comment. Keep up the great videos. Be encouraged that there are others that enjoy them. Blessings
thank you so much. It makes me mad when I see negative comments on peoples videos too, I am really lucky, 99.9% of people here are awesome and supportive!
Awe, Lindsay! I Love even your mistakes and flaws! You are just too awesome to not love!!!!! :-)
thank you Gisella:)
Love your tips Lindsay....xo patti :)
Love watching you work!!!!
Lyndsay you are wonderful! Thanks for reminding us to stay positive! Have a great day! Thanks for the awesome vids!
Lindsay- thanks so much for your generous help. Your videos are like art vitamins!
thanks !!! - martha
Art vitamins? Love it!
thefrugalcrafter . Yep! The chewable kind, of course !
(thanks again)
M Nompone LOL!
TY !! I learned more from this than any book I own ! loved it !
Very informational. I love watching your videos. You're so incredibly amazing and inspirational. You're a very talented woman. :)
Hi Lindsay,
You are talented, lovely and you do some great stuff! Like you need me to tell you that...hardly!
I did comment on how much I love the new camera angle and it is just so much easier to watch and I want to see you draw and paint right side up ;) You have inspired me to try watercolour. I bought the Sakura Koi Watercolour Field Sketch Set - 24 Pan Colours and am both excited and afraid to even wet them...hahaha I would really love to see you do some more watercolour tutorials with your "new" camera angle.
Thanks and don't let anyone make you feel badly for one second about any of your work.
I have a spring stream watercolor tutorial with the new angle, it is an easy one for a first painting too if you want to try it:)
Hi Lindsay, I have just created my very first art journal page ever, something I would never have thought I could do, thanks to your infectious enthusiasm, creativity and encouragement. So I was upset to hear that you had been fretting over unkind comments left by some mean minded person. In my experience, individuals who are unable to give positive feedback &/or make constructive criticism, are generally not very capable themselves. Their negative comments are driven by jealousy. So just keep in mind how very many more of us you have encouraged and inspired and don't let one sad individual bring you down. Can't wait for my Gelatos to arrive in the post, so I can start playing with them!! :-)
Aww, thank you so much for writing:) It is very sweet. I am over the negative comments, there are always bad apples out there. All it took was for me to read the encouraging comments form folks who regularly watch to set me strait and to see the nasty comments on really popular youtube videos to realize that some people are just nasty and there is nothing I can do about it except to ignore it. Thanks and I am so glad you find my videos encouraging. Well done on your first page BTW! Have fun with your new gelatos too!
I'd give few additional tips :)
1. Make the hair a bit bigger than the initial shape of the head, as it never lays completely flat against the head in real life. (If you don't do this, your facial features usually seem to be too high on the face.)
2. In the 3/4 quarter view the initial oval is usually too narrow and has to be "buffed" a bit, it should continue past the ears. Otherwise it looks like the back of the head is missing.
3. Depending on the angle in the quarter view, the eye further from the viewer can be partially obscured by the bridge of the nose.
ElyasKun stop making bad comments you are hater maybe you tried this and it didn't work for you and those are all the reasons it didn't work for you. don't do any more additional tips so stop hating.............or else
ElyasKun how about you make your hair bigger because it is skinner than a toothpick
Jennifer Jacques
You read my comment as hating.... how exactly? And even if I actually was being malicious, how is insulting me back going to help?
ElyasKun of course I read your commet as hating and that is why Lindsay made this about you and the other people who does this
ElyasKun you are a negative Nellie and you are jealous of her
Thanks for the quote. I know some folks who could really benefit from hearing those words! Thanks also for demystifing drawing faces. I need to just start drawing and not worry about it. I used to make cloth dolls in the 80s and paint their faces free hand and they turned out really well - it should be like falling off a bike, right?!!
right:)
Love the quote I am saving it. Thanks for the great tips on drawing faces mine always look cartoonish I will give them another go. Thanks for sharing your art skills you have inspired me and I know countless others. Have a great day :)
Thank you Lindsay! You are wonderful. This was really helpful.
You are a GENIUS! Thank you very much and happy life from Spain!
Paula
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been trying and trying to draw faces and your info has helped bunches. Blessings, Linda Hardesty
good:)
The journal page is fantastic! The collaging really makes it and the quote is great. tfs :)
thanks:)
Thank you this was awesome... I think you do great work
Thank you. Love your videos. They make me happy.
I don't know who the negative nora was that left their comment but I am a new subscriber and I love your tips on how to do stuff.... I'm a HOPELESS drawer so this was very helpful!! Thanks for sharing!
i think it is ja jane! i went back to look 'who' posted negatives! she sure has a lot of ''beading' stuff, i wonder if she berates them too!
Always enjoy your videos! Good advice and instruction on this one. Thanks!!
Awesome! So Helpful and thanks for the words of WISDOM!
Great tutorial! Love it! Love your videos. I just might b able to do this.
Lindsey, T
Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I am a much more confident artist.
Jackie
omg, sketching with a sepia cray pas! um, I have those too. lol Years ago someone gave me a nice set, and some lovely markers, never used any of them. (Dried markers can be given a new life by soaking them with water). Anyway, never thought to sketch with a colored stick, much more interesting than charcoal!
love it and ignore rude people they obviously haven't got anything else better to do then judge others x
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm starting my first art journal and am lost! I don't feel I have much artistic ability so this is so helpful to me. THANKS!!
wanting to learn is the only ability you need:)
thefrugalcrafter . WOW...sounds like a great saying for an art journal page!! Thanks--Kathy.
Hey Lindsay. Thanks for your tutorials! I have learned a ton from your videos and am is serious envy of your talent and art room =)
Ruth Molenaar thank you:)
Thank you. Very good easy to understand guidelines.
This was awesome Lindsey! I'm HORRIBLE at drawing. This tutorial really helped. Thanks so much! b
I have been slowly improving with faces but this video helps a lot. Thanks! Oh, and your "well, you might want crazy eyes, it's your journal" line made me laugh. Now my dog is staring at me. ;)
wonderful video, saving to my favorites and sharing
Very informative tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing.
i really love watching your videos, thanks for sharing :)
hi
love your videos and the way you show different techniques.
I have a question about art journaling. I use acrylic paint and my Gelli plate, but my pages stick together, how can I avoid it ??
Ria-Kirstine Mølgaard you can rub a chunk of wax on the pages so they don't stick:)
Thanks Lindsey. Just got home and needed that "fix" I get from you! I found I had some oil crayons. Could you do something with them? B
Oil Pastels? I have some old cheap ones I could try. I really like the Portfolio by Crayola watercoluble oil pastels, I have a tutorial using them here: th-cam.com/video/4Muteb5AkzA/w-d-xo.html
Thank You....BOO to the negative nellies..... I love your accent....
Great video tutorial. So helpful. Thank you
Again great tips thanks !
