Me: she should give the pineapple character multiple fins.
2 Seconds later
Rin: maybe I should give her multiple fins.
Me again: I am a mind reader
or a mind controller XP
😮😮😮
Lol.😂
I still think a Hawaiian dad shirt would’ve been cute. Still, all the mermaids were cute
Trissy Kat ,ha
Rin: "It's always best to start even if you aren't ready "
My anxiety: well no actually-
This is so relatable, that's it's almost sad
What works for me with my anxiety (although it might not work for yours, everyone's anxiety is different and everyone deals with it differently) is to logically tell myself there's nothing to worry about, state the facts of the situation to shut down the irrational worry, and just push through my anxiety and go do whatever the heck I have to go do. Usually my anxiety is in anticipation of a problem that doesn't exist, so if I can show it that the problem doesn't exist, I'm good to go!
For me pushing myself to do really small steps even if I didn't feel ready was helpful:) I practiced saying hello and waving to strangers as I walked past them if they looked at me. No conversation or prolonged contact just hi and leave. But I was not feeling ready for it...it got better though. I upgraded to asking if people who look like they're struggling need help and helping them , casual conversation, and even inviting people for food!
Try doing drawing warmups!!
Sometimes i feel so anxious when i want to draw so i do warm ups
Just sketch random stuff
Maybe use a reference from Pinterest
Or maybe hands
Or a tree
Or random anatomy
Just a couple of stuff to make u feel comfortable before u stsrt drawing
Drawing other stuff to warm up really takes off the pressure of starting something new so you can be more mentally prepared for ur main sketch
Woah same😂
the WHOLE time that she was drawing the watermelon one i was just screaming “GIVE HER FRECKLES, GIVE HER FRECKLES, GIVE HER FRECKLES”
that and "make her fat" lol
Same here but I was thinking it.
@@kitteneyejo .-. Then the watermelon girl would actually look like me- lel
lOl great idea
Quackie Draws YOUR NOT FAT
I never realised how much I loved Waffles till I ran out of her vids to binge
Lol same
Omg right
Why is this so accurate!
Me too!!!!
So true though
I almost thought Rin forgot all about mermay. Now my mind is clear🙃
Same
i did forget at first not gonna lie XP
I was so sad when I didn't see any mermay posts by Rin, the other years of it have been so fun to watch!! So I very much enjoyed this video haha
Same!
I was waiting all day on the first day
*Rin: sees that everything she owns is dirty*
Also Rin: well if that isn't a character reference of me I don't know what is
Thanks for sharing my fruit art challenge! I was like 😱 when I saw you mention me in this vid! Your fruity mermaids are fantastic 🧜♀️✨
I LOVE your channel💜
Hi
Hii
Love you vids so much!!
Hi i am like omg two of my fave TH-camrs in one vid
It would be adorable if the lemon mermaid was an old lady. And she is sweet like lemonade but when she was younger she was sour? Idk, it sounds so cute to me though UwU
Also, you should definitely draw a waffle mermaid
Ooohh that sounds good
Ok Mooni, I LOVE that idea!!! I feel like Either old lady’s are sweet and wise or they are like really grumpy.

I think it would be funny to draw the pineapple mermaid working at a pizza place somehow...
Now I want pineapple pizza!
T-that's actually not a bad idea-
I don't know why but seeing this comment somehow make me think of a mermaid inspired pizza
y e s
Yeah 😂 my mom thinks pineapple belongs on pizza but I- I just don’t..... (I also don’t care for cooked pineapple so idk)
“Let’s see what the next fruit is...”
Me: Please let it be a lemon.
Her: A lemon!
Me: .... :0
I was hoping for melon XD
is it weird that i love lemon so much that i just eat them like an orange. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE lemon flavoured stuff
Елица Павлова sounds close enough.
@@-wermii-3164 same I love lemons!:D
@@-wermii-3164 same and limes and grapefruit
*Rin draws a blueberry mermaid*
Nobody:
Not one soul:
Me: You’re turning Violet, Violet!
I was thinking the same thing! 😂
HeyHoney that’s what I was gonna say!
😂😂😂😂
This was my childhood I love this 😂
jdjsjsj yes-
I don't know why, but it helps so much to draw and listen to Rin talk, it's like.. idk its so helpful to get tips as you draw, and constant Inspiration
Does anyone else do this too?
I do all day
Yes
I always do that lmao
Yep
Pineapple mermaid “Maybe this time I’ll remember to draw the hands!”
Promptly forgets to draw the hands.
I completely adore the very round lemon mermaid and her fashion statement apron. She’s so cute!
“I found a dead fish in our yard” ah yes just your average day in rins household
one time me and my friend were skateboarding and there was a random dead fish on the side of the road and it didn’t have a head
Katya Cordeiro ROFL 🤣🤣🤣
Katya Cordeiro id be traumatized for the rest of my life bc i cant handle seeing dead animals (or people, unless its anime lol)
Charissa Robertson nah
@@cry_stalll Same. But I can handle action movies with brutal scenes in them, I've watching it since 7 yrs old and some how it hasn't scarred me, but when it comes to animals I cannot-
Can we talk about the fact that her name is drawing with waffles and she never draws with waffles
Depressed Doll I- how did I never even think of that?
Depressed Doll any idea why she goes by drawingwiffwaffles? I never understood where that came from lol
@@victoriasalter1064 I think I rember somthing about her talking about it in a old video she posted with the reason to the name I wish I could rember why she chose it
Victoria Salter she mentioned in a video that she loved waffles, so the name was supposed to mean that her art was waffle powered because of her eating them
Oooh i thought waffles is her 😂 i know her name is Rin but i thought its like a cute nickname for her, and when she draws we draw, so we are all drawing together with her idk
The sour personality came across once the Karen haircut was added...*shivers in retail*
Time stamp?
Me: About to go to sleep
Rin: UPLOADS
Me: Change of plans
It's the middle of the day where I live, Haha
It is morning where I live
They didn’t ask what time it is where you live lol
oop sorry!! 💜
Its midnight from where I live rn..but alas I agree MUST SEE VIDEO
Even though I turned off the sound, I can hear your voice and understand what you saying by watching your hand motions!!
thats strange and lovely at the same time. 💜💜💜
Same lol
I always watch videos. Muted... Yeah it's true that I can still follow your art... 😘 you are so creative in making new characters.

Feels like some deep life advice

ATTENTION WAFFLE FANS
I want to know what you all drew, if you drew anything!
I drew a girl with wings
we all know what I drew XP
I drew a dumb boy with freckles
I drew a stich ;-; I dont participate in thing like inktober and mermay and ect
I drew a girl falling an I was really happy with the pose making me love the whole drawing
@Cassidy Rae I drew myself in my new T-shirt with one of my fav drawings on it my dad got me for my bday lmfo

GHLove12 Doodles oof I feel ya dude. Tbh I think everyone in the world does rn
Theater Nerds hope this is over soon 😷
GHLove12 Doodles yeah, me too. It sucks and my social life is out the window at this point, but at least I got to rewatch Gravity Falls again. Now I’m gonna have nightmares of evil triangles. I will not give context:
Theater Nerds I’ve been playing soooo much animal crossing lol. Any show recommendations? Nothing too gory haha but I’m open to almost anything
"I"m worried about ruining it"
Tracing paper. Trace it, reverse it and trace it again, then transfer on a separate page. You've have drawn it 4 times but at leas the original sketch is preserved
omg thats what I do when I make a super cute drawing but on a bad paper, like lined notebook paper. like, I want to make it on real art paper, but I could never re-draw it that well. and its not tracing and stealing someone else art (like some people do, no, thats bad, stop it) cause I drew it myself, I just want to transfer it
DrawingWiffWaffles: "do-hickeys"
Me: *has instense Moriah Elizabeth flashbacks*
My 2 favorite TH-camrs!
Same 😂
I definitely agree with you
Me: **tries to like comment twice**
Hahaha 🤣 I thought the same
Will u plss do a face reveal someday..only if ur comfortable. I really want to see the face of my favorite artist 😊
Rachana K ,I fully agree
I AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Even I want to see her face
Noooooo it's the best part ! we do not know how she looks like and we love her anyways 💗
@@andylola4118 hmm.. that's right.. but I'll wait...If she's comfortable enough to show her face🙂
What a cute idea, Rin!! I just adore the lemon girl and the pineapple is such an adorable idea. Time for me to go sketch a few of my own!
Thanks so much! You should! Check out Sealemon's list for some more inspo!
Yes I agree I loved this video
I am drawing a trash themed mermaid to spread ocean pollution awareness!🐋🦈🐠🐡🐙🐟🐬🐳🦀🦞
I did the same thing about a year ago it's very eye opening
Am I the only one that feels that the lemon mermaid is a mother she gives me the caring loving vibes
Idk I just think that
who else thinks Rin is very entertaining to watch??
👇🏻
Sometimes I just watch her videos for a few hours, especially if I need some inspiration for my own art or if I just want to watch and relax. Her voice is soooo soothing.
I mean why would we subscribe to her then? (｢`･ω･)｢
MyFantasticNails same
@@MsMeyara I agree

True! Although I couldn’t come on time xP

"you know what to do when you like your art, YOU SIGN IT"
SOOO MEEEE🤘😂
When Rin drew the watermelon mermaid I started singing Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles😂
*tastes like strawberries*
Watermelon: aM i A JokE tO YoU?
i love the fruit themed mermaids thing🤩 i’ve been rushing my artwork so much since i’m in an advanced art class. thank you for always inspiring me waffles!!💜💜 btw my favorite color is purple too!
Tapped as soon as I got the notification!
And actually... I totally forgot about mermay! 😧 I think I'll use that prompt list!
Also, I completed my 7th sketchbook a few days ago. I started my newest one yesterday and on the cover, i painted princess mononoke's mask (it's from a studio ghibli movie, if you don't know) and I'm very proud of how it turned out!
That's sooo cool and hnstly same I forgot it was may too 😳 got me some mermaids to make
I forgot about Mermay, too.. This was my lil reminder, lol. I'm starting today :)
I started my eighth sketchbook the other day too!
I'm so excited that my birthday month has an art theme of food mermaids 👌😂 really awesome! I'm probably gonna use that list, too
@@indigoblues8454 it's my birthday month, too! Happy late/early birthday!

My phone's google when Rin says "ok google": dAnG bOi dAts All yOu gOtTa sAY
me: why is she drawing mermaids? It's not october
Rin: since it's mermay
Me, who thought inktober and mermay were the same thing: it's what now
Can I ask, without being offensive, how you came to that conclusion in the first place?
exactly how did you come to that conclusion lol
@Clayton Herring I know
Imagine being THAT talented I could NEVA
oh you. 💜 thanks for the kind words
when you refresh yt to see '10 seconds ago' on a waffles vid and nearly have a heart attack
Jay yep! Totally get u
Ye
Jay haha me too! I click so fast and violently and probably almost break my screen lol
xXCaramelized CaramelxX You are soo nice uwu!
xXCaramelized CaramelxX you subbed?!? Okay that makes you nicer
Her: Looks Lemony...
Me: I told you never to say that name.
Her: LEMONY SNICKET!
Me: Well, we were on the same track...
The most iconic thing she says is "it doesnt tickle my fancy" and I love it!!!!
"Seems more lemony. Lemony Snicket"
I just got the hugest smile ahaha :)
I KNOW RIGHT
Same, I gasped! The world is quiet here...
7:04 "Definitely doesn't have enough pink"
Me screaming to my phone as she can hear me: THE TAIL, THE TAIL MUST BE PINK 😭
The end of the tail I guess?
@ZombieCee yes, that
DUUUUUDEEE I need the Lemon Mermaid to be my friend 😱😍I love her so much
I feel like this is the only TH-cam channel that I can watch for DAYS without getting bored 😊 💜💜💜💜

*Heck yeah Hawaii at a desk at home*
Starlight Productions yesss I was lucky to go to Hawaii before corona spread- i miss it every day and Im not obsessed with fruity tropical things! 😂
Adah Perry your so lucky I was going this May but I’m not anymore☹️
Lucy I aww that sucks :( I hope you can go next year!
I love the range of her characters, there's POC characters and also plus sized characters and it's just overall a very nice thing to see
Im lowkey convinced her eraser will never turn into a mountain :')
I love that Rin says “drawing small is easier to focus on shapes and silhouette” bc i always preferred to draw smaller than larger and my friends always were like “draw bigger!!! Why do you scrunch your drawings into the margins of your homework??” And that’s why.
I love how Drawing wiff Waffles and Kasey Golden were the ones who inspired me to start drawing, and I have improved in at least a year, it’s actually impressive how I drew so terrible and in a year, I drew similar to waffles. Thank you Drawing Wiff Waffles! 🌻🌻🌻
that is how I started out

@SristiKhushi Vlogs why do you want to search for english errors in each and every comment and bug people around?
Manish Lakhmani eh, chill. It’s fine! People mess up and I wouldn’t have fixed it if they wouldn’t have told me. I appreciate it actually so it’s fine.
Me: maybe today I can sleep...
Rin: posts
Me: okay nevermind-
your videos are so aesthetically pleasing. like the sounds of you tapping, sketching, putting your markers on the table, etc. are all so satisfying.
as someone from hawaii, i seriously appreciate you acknowledging that you don’t know everything about hawaii except for the touristy stuff that is always promoted 👏🏼👏🏼 i hate when people assume that that is actually how our life is. i very much love your videos and i think you’re a super sweet person!!
“May has 31 days but I figure everyone deserves a day off”

@@buttercupbug6487 um..its still your responsibility to finish those. Complaining won't change anything.
PREACH!!!
@@smellyal8trstinky sometimes people aren't looking for a solution, just some sympathy
I’m currently, drawing mermay however, in zodiac signs because I’m a spiritual believer! I love this idea of fruit mermaids😍✨
Can we just appreciate the fact that she is drawing all sizes. Anytime she draws multiple people they are very diverse. I love it
❤️❤️
You should make a coloring book with all of your favorite characters one day. I would buy that in a second. Your art style is the cutest! I am obsessed! I think you would make a cool coloring book.
Me: I'm so bored, I think I'm living in the bore king's boredom
Waffles posts a video
Also me:not anymore
Just as a reminder when drawing mermaids (or other things found in water) gravity plays differently and you can make a lot of fun effects, especially with hair when you incorporate that ^_^ Still love the drawings though! Just thought you or others might like the suggestion ♥
My favorite was the pineapple one! I just love how she turned out
Rin going on a tangent about the half a dead fish that somehow got in her front yard is one of the best things that I've heard today. Like I've been feeling not the best as of recently and that lil tangent cheered me up a lil bit 💜
When she says "will I do one more?"
Me "yes, yes please! "
Rin: I'm having so much fun with this one
Rin: *makes inhuman noises
Me: that's what you do when you're having fun?
You should make weelz skoot and dex into mermaids for mermay
the watermelon mermaid is actually so adorable ;-;
edit: nvm they all are
Oh waffles I know you might not see this but you've really inspired me to pursue my hobby of art into a possible career. I've been going through a very rough time and art helps me so thank you so much. ❤️
same here
I completely forget it was MerMay! March felt like a century haha
did you completely miss April? lol
DrawingWiffWaffles I still believe that April didn't actually happen
DrawingWiffWaffles March zoomed past 😂
IsaacCannotBreathe me too
The way she just goes for it and just...y’know...sketches like it’s no one business is so awesome. I love how her sketches just seem to flow
Can't wait to see all the other fruits. I enjoyed watching this video so much, it was just so relaxing. 😄 the 30 day fruit challenge

Choclete and blueberry
Chocolate chip, fudge, and regular
Pumpkin spice waffles. I don’t even know if you can buy them, we always make them.

what? 😭
@@Buzzzy-bee What?????????
I love how she adds so many shapes and sizes into her characters! Idk, it kinda makes me like her more? it’s like she’s including everyone.
I keep Waffles vids for when I reeaallyy need a happy moment and can’t wait any longer. Love you Rin, hope you’re doing well!
Me realizing the mermaids are just people but without the hard legs and feet: *YES THIS IS FOR ME*
Allison Riley 😂 yes it will be based off of a snail with no face hands, legs or feet
Allison Riley so a blob with arms? cool!
@Allison Riley go big or go home
Become a jellyfish
She's my favorite yt bc if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be an artist so I love her Soo much ❤️ just wanted to say that
I love how this is both a video to do a cool challenge to show off your epic art skills AND, in some ways, a tutorial for little things that are so important to budding artists. 😊
at first i thought the lemon sketch kinda looked like a manatee. then, it was giving me mrs.potts vibes. i think there's something wrong with me.
Hi waffles. I started my own art youtube channel! you are one of the people who have inspired me to start my channel. So thank you for that.
U always take regular items and put it into a illustration, and I love it! I absolutely adore ur art work, and wish to be like u some day! You are my art roll model
Omg, I can totally imagine all of these mermaids living in like, an underwater town. I can also imagine all of their personalities and stuff. Here's what I imagine their personalities to be like:
- Watermelon Mermaid: The kinda snobby, popular mermaid, who is rich and kinda rude.
- Blueberry Mermaid: The sweet, welcoming, but shy mermaid, who is nice to everyone and very selfless.
- Pineapple Mermaid: The talkative, kind mermaid, who is energetic and bouncy, and helps anyone who needs it.
- Lemon Mermaid: The sweet, older lady, who bakes cakes and stuff for the younger mermaids, especially the children, and is kind to all of them, although if they do something that she doesn't like, they best believe they're going to get in big trouble. Also, everyone respects her because she's nice and she can be sour.
Idk, these are just my opinions based off of what I saw in each character design. Also, I love how they all have their own pet fish that looks similar to them lol. Feel free to share your opinions on what you think their personalities would be.
For the watermelon mermaid, if you wanted it to be redder, you could've made the tail red and added scales in a black or dark brown color to mimic the seeds a bit. And, in order to incorporate the green, you could move the green up and have a striped bra as well as keep the hair green and make it one of the kinda curled/buffed bobs to make the round-ish shape of a watermelon.
ooh I love that idea!!!
:o
Since its mermay and mothers day tomorrow, I made a mermaid charm for my mom. She loved it UwU (I had to send it early since she lives far)
Omg tomorrow is Mother’s Day.

Great vintage vibe to your watermelon mermaid 😀
9:46 the way she says it just brings me so much joy!
Can’t believe I got an on-time notification
miracles happen XP
These are so cute! I'd forgotten about MerMay and this inspired me to get back into it!
Wait, if I draw mermaids than I dont have to draw legs! Yasss, finally found what I am gonna draw!
I don't know what's most incredible, the drawings or the way you sketch
