Hi Chika! I was so happy to see my comment in your video. Thank you very much for sharing Japanese culture with us. My favorite sketch is the kappa. I remember being in middle school and playing a game called Harvest Moon. In it, there was a kappa in a lake and it would only appear if you threw cucumbers into the water. I thought it was so cute!
I would love to have many little books around my house. I would use them for language learning, writing poetry and short stories, and mini reference books for my local area.
Thanks for your hard work and gentle vibes in your videos. Take care!
Hi Evie! Thank you, as always, for the encouragement! I remembered you went to Osaka before, so I was excited to share more little trivia about Japanese culture with you☺️✨
Oh, I haven't played that game before; I didn't know there was a kappa in it!
That's such a nice idea to have many books around the house.
I'll do the same to actively capture moments for inspiration! 💪 See you next week🎵
This is such a good idea! Especially for those who may feel overwhelmed with a larger book (I used to have this problem a lot!) I think having something simple and portable and maybe not feeling so "precious" frees us up to have fun and explore. I love the hedgehog and giraffe! That must be in one of your earlier videos too - but I love that. Very cute. The yokai drawings and stories are so cool - I will definitely need to check more of that out - more inspiration! I laughed when you said you memorized plankton (or similar) names like pokemon! Haha! If school were taught that way I think we'd have more biologists in the world! (I love playing Pokemon Go now... what a great combination of art, culture, word play, collecting, video gaming, exercise... 5-stars, highly recommend) And thank you so much for mentioning my channel and I'm overjoyed that I could return some inspiration to YOUUU in some way. That makes my week! As always, I look forward to your next videos!
Hehe, I am happy you enjoyed the video! Your way of exploring art motivates me to have fun with different styles. I have lots of unfinished sketchbooks, and it makes me feel like I need to finish them and move on to the next. But these little books were more casual and easier to complete, and I found them very handy! 🎨
I am thinking of making art travel books for my next mini book project, like finding beautiful motifs and cultures in each country✈️
Ooooh, I have never played Pokémon Go.That's so dangerous...I feel like I would get so into it once I start, lol... ah! You just gave me an idea of making Pokémon myself from things I see to fill my sketchbook. That would be fun!
Thank you so much, as always, for giving me such lovely encouragement. I will see you next week☺️
I love the little book idea! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching the video^^ I am excited and curious to know what you are going to make with the small books idea! 😊 Happy creating!
I'm gonna do thisss~ I was just thinking about what fun stuff I could add to my gift for my sister's birthday! Thank you!
I am so happy that you got inspired by the idea! That's a wonderful gift for your sister! Are you going to make a message book? I wish I could see how you make it! ✨
Good luck with the project 💪 See you next week🎵
Tiny books! :D I have never thought of that and I really like the idea. I am going to save this video! I've been sketching on 100+ pages sketchbooks, and it is a bit exhausting sometimes, always asking "when will I ever finish this book?" So I will try the tiny sketchbook idea someday.
And you're right, I like the Yokai book. Lately I've been playing Monster Hunter Rise again, so a lot of the monsters I am fighting are somewhat Yokai-ish ^^ Plus the fact my wife and I are almost finishing Yuyu Hakusho on Netflix, we definitely are seeing a lot of Yokai, some which are hilariously funny. I love the Reference book too Chika. That shows a lot of your observation power :D Always a fan of Tanuki, and I didn't know that a frog is Kaeru in Japanese...and have a different appreciation for frogs now, since I am far away from home as well.
I've been taking it a bit slow on art lately, maybe because of the hot weather, maybe because I am just tired. Hopefully I'll bounce back up soon, and still be able to finish my sketchbook by the end of the year before I start working on Watercolor sketchbooks exclusively. Enjoy watching your video as always, and will wait for the next one on Thursday :D Thank you!
Hi Alex! Wow, I’m not sure if I have any sketchbooks that I could fill up to 100 pages! Oh, Yu Yu Hakusho! That's a good one! I have four unfinished sketchbooks, and I recently bought another one... different paper, different sizes.
I am so happy you enjoy my Yokai book. For me, making TH-cam videos gives me good pressure to keep creating and learning something new. I will be traveling next week, so I hope I can get new inspiration for future videos✈️
Thank you, as always, for encouraging me. As you mention waiting for my Thursday video, I am also excited for the day after publishing to read your comment. See you next week✨
Really lovely video ❤
Oh thank you so much for finding this video!^^ I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed✨
another friendly Thursday video!
where are the views? maybe everyone is busy taking finals haha
omg the giraffe with glasses and the hedgehog put a huge smile on my face
although it might have simply been me noticing it after fully processing your puzzle
nope it's just amazing lol
oh wow the demonstration was a surprise
wait this is an entire "how to" video
idk what this means but: it feels like this video is better on the second watch - maybe too much information? great details? sudden cuts?
btw thanks for making the rectangle with your face a bit softer!
the little language book was intriguing... would that be cute drawings (and words) of things in the coffeeshop?
Hahaha, thank you for being the first viewer and leaving a comment! My channel is still small, so it takes a few months to reach more viewers. But I try not to worry about that part and focus on polishing my video quality 💪.
Yeah, this time my allergy was better, and I could sleep well before recording day 😄. Also, your advice last time made me realize that I was a bit nervous unconsciously when I talked about the art business. So I really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback.
As you may notice, I am doing lots of experiments in each video to analyze what I am good at. Next week, I challenged myself doing a bit different thing, so I am so excited to know how do you feel the next one... See you next week!
@@ogawachikako I was really surprised I was first. 😅
Congratulations getting through your allergies and nervousness! 🎉
It's really exciting watching you change things up!
your editing is so cute, and your art is so cool! sending you support!
Oh, thank you so much for the encouragement and support! ✨ As I'm still new here, it means a lot to me. 🙏 I'm really excited to share more creative ideas!
@@ogawachikako you're welcome!! I'm also very new here, I hope we can grow together!
@@JourneytoSustainableLiving I just saw your video! It was very educational and I loved the concept you are working on! Keep going, you are doing fantastic!
