- Q: Why is your art so bad?
A: I’m working on it! You can follow my art progress on my channel or just enjoy the stories 😊
Q: Why did you choose to read “The Lottery”?
A: When I was reading it in school, I thought about how I really wanted to read this story and spread it to a larger audience. I like how it points out how pointlessly following traditions just because they’re traditional can have dangerous consequences and how it really has a universal lesson that we can all learn from in our personal lives, the workplace, or even public policy.
Q: Why did you use charcoal?
A: Because I’m scared of making mistakes and you can erase charcoal for days (as I do in this video). Plus, black and white is perfect for ~creepy~ vibes.
Q: What's that thing you used to blend out the charcoal?
A: It's called a tortillon and it's a wrapped piece of paper with a pointy end. I've never used one before and I think the results were pretty nice.
Q: Why do you keep turning your drawing around?
A: Comparing the drawing to the reference picture at different angles makes it easier to see mistakes in the construction of the subject.
Q: How long did this drawing take you?
A: Three hours and 38 minutes.
Q: Can I critique any part of your video?
A: Yes, everything is open to constructive criticism!
Q: How do I let you know that I read your long ass Q & A?
A: Hmm...Why don't you comment "graphic design is my passion" and I'll know ;)
Q: What if I have more questions?
A: Leave it in the comments! Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful day!

^ my face after a night of creepypasta - บันเทิง
You have the best reading out of all the ones I tried. Thank you! My students definitely appreciated it.
This needs more views. What a great idea, combining "creepypasta" narration with speeddrawing! I'm proud of how your channel has grown these past years :)
Ah you're back! It's good to hear from you again! Thank you very much, I'm definitely working on recording more stories and drawings and making more innovative ideas :))) Planning on making more videos? We should do another collab xD
Mithrilda I won't commit to any videos on my channel, but I'd always lend my voice to you, dear :)
Sounds great! Now...to find a story worthy of that....
It’s not a creepy pasta.......
@@Tadpole_Plyrr2 You read/listened to the whole thing yet bud?
Magnificent! Every time I hear the end of the story, my blood runs cold, and the beautiful, chilling sketch is perfect. I loved watching the artist creat
What a cool idea for your audio! I always loved that story. I liked the portrait as well as seeing how you altered it digitally.
I think your art is fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
gotta watch this corny video for school, wish the visuals were more interesting, although I do respect the art, it looks great
Facts
How is this story corny
Me too, fellow weeb
Same
"graphic design is my passion" :)
It has just taken place today
Great art ! You are so very talented! This makes the story really come to life! Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you so much!
Graphic design is my passion 👍
For the record, I think your art is awesome.
Thank you so much!
Nice story and Drawing!
Thank you!
That lottery tradition of theirs is fvckng crazy
That is an awesome drawing.
Thank you! It's the longest piece I've worked on in a while and it feels good to stretch out my drawing skills.
Mithrilda The narration plus drawing is a great idea. Way better than a regular speed art and perfect a accompaniment to the story.
Thank you! I was a bit hesitant about doing it this way since it takes so long, but I'm glad it's worth it :)))
Mithrilda i hope you do some more. A lovecraft monster would make for a pretty cool drawing.
Ooh! That would be fun. Any favorites/something you want to see?
This story doesn’t make sense to me -willow
There seems to be an audio glitch after 6:35
I see, I’m not quite sure how that happened. But the rest of it should be fine right?
Mithrilda yes
I have read this multiple times and still don't understand
Raizo same 😭
Same its confused af
Read this in English this year. Such a messed up story.
And yet oddly/unfortunately relevant even now
Lol you fell right in line with “Delacroy” its supposed to like: De-La-Crow-Ah.
The reading was great, but the light music in the background was distracting.
Thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely keep it in mind for the next one!
A bit of hypocrisy I fear. Tessie had no problem with the lottery until she "won." In the words of Shakespeare: "The lady doth protest too much, me thinks." And if Old Man Warner had won, he would have accepted it. (Possibly with the words: "Lottery in June, corn heavy soon.")
I'm glad you point this out, I think it's one of the important points Jackson wanted to make. Some interpretations I've read say the same, I was surprised that others didn't see that bit about Tessie.
I wonder how Old Man Warner would've reacted if he'd won. And also, do people usually react like Tessie did? Because, it would be natural, but the people act as if her reaction were something to scold. Either it doesn't usually happen, or it does but the villagers still act by the principle of 'this is fine' like the do with other parts of the event.
@@natalieanimal4063 Well, Tessie makes me think of Marlowe's protagonist Fausus screwing: "I'll burn my books! Oh Mephistopheles!" Old Man Warner makes me think of Menenius from Shakespeare's "Coriolanus:" "He that hath a will to die by himself fears it not from another."
@@eternalhalloween1 I've of course heard of both, but haven't read them, so these comparisons you gave are a nice recommendation, and the motivation to compare them myself when I read.
Interesting point about Warner. I suppose it could be either that, which would confirm how terrifyingly convinced he is, or his view would also change; not as sharply as Tessie's because he's been convinced for such a long time, but it could be a moment when he first sees is from a different angle, which would be another way of being a remarkable message- point out that there's a counterpoint to even the most hardcore beliefs.
From your reply and the edit of the original comment, I take it that you believe it would definitely be the former, that he would still believe the same. Of course, I'd love the most to ask Jackson herself, but this option is very realistic, and me leaving room for the other one could be wishful thinking. Especially because, unlike some others who aren't even sure about the lottery's point, Warner is certain it would bring fertility and food to the whole village, so in his mind it's better to kill one than for everyone to starve. So he could see himself as a hero if he wins.
@@natalieanimal4063 We could only ask SJ herself. But I like that we can converse in a civil manner about it. Someone via YT wants me to burn as a heretic. Why? I said "Star Trek Next Generation" is superior to "Star Wars." What can you do? 😁
@@eternalhalloween1 I really agree, I'd rather talk to someone who disagrees civilly than have someone who agrees be rude to others about it. And this example is about preference of franchises, it isn't even an opinion on good and evil, not that it hurts someone you prefer one over the other. I personally wouldn't phrase it as 'superior' when I talk, but I know there's no harm in that. I'm sorry you had to put up with such dramatic reactions.
First
This is distracting
