- I never thought I would miss this simple design so much. For the longest time it was my favorite, and I incorporated it into so many of my doodles, but for some reason I left it behind for newer and more exciting designs. In this video I show you how I draw dynamic flowing surfaces using just simple curved lines. Whether you choose to keep it simple or you add lots of complex curves, this design is sure to become a staple in your drawing practice. Excellent for beginners and experienced artists alike.

Wow,….. so beautiful your sketch book 💕💕
Many many thanks
Ok, it’s like you mined my google/TH-cam searches yesterday for ideas. I used to love doing this line-design-thing but I haven’t for maybe five years and I forgot how to get started. lol Anyhow, I love your videos and your art and your vibe. Thanks!
I promise I didn't look through your Google searches 😂. It may simply be that great minds think alike. I was also trying to find it (maybe it had a name?), But it wasn't easy locate. It didn't seem to have a name, so I went for it.
So fascinating
Thank you!😊
At first this looked like the ribs of an onion to me, and then a complex hairstyle. I love cooking and I love hairstyling, so of COURSE that's what I'd see. I think anyone would see what they love and want to see here. Thanks for the inspiration, maybe I'll draw an onion braid soon? 😊
I really love your work. It inspires me. Love this.
Thank you so much!
So cool!!! Thank you!!
Wow so beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
It's a real pleasure to watch you drawing and ending with such a beautifull result !
I think that I shall watch this video several times !
Maybe one day will I jump and try to draw, inspiring myself from what I have seen you doing. Maybe. 😂
It is really beautifull.
Loved this one. I can’t seem to get going on drawing lately. But your calming voice and this gorgeous pattern makes me want to get back at it. 🥰
That's wonderful! It all starts with a pen and whatever paper you've got. 😊 It doesn't have to be complicated either. Just enjoy the process.
I love looking through your sketchbook. I love your style. Can you tell me what brand colored pencil you use in some of the previous pages that creates that nice metallic sheen?
Hy,, in here again,,
I would like to thank you for your work. Sometimes it seems so simple, but I just can't do it; I can't reach your level of precision. I’m not satisfied with my drawings, even if I just copy you 😂. It’s so frustrating. But I will keep practicing and redo these exercises.
What you do is so beautiful and inspiring. I discovered your account a few weeks ago, and I can't stop thinking about your drawings or imagining what I could create thanks to the inspiration you provide. I admit it's becoming a bit of an obsession 😅
I sincerely thank you for everything you share ❤❤❤
Quilters call this design “McTavishing”
I didn't know that. It looks beautiful on quilts.
I love this design but have never been able to do it. But tonight I finally had some success by drawing it slowly and one line at a time. So thank you for showing how it’s done and inspiring me to try one more time. 😊
That's wonderful! 💕
Your work is just so beautiful. Very relaxing or maybe it’s your voice. Eat her way, please keep going.
I really enjoy drawing that design too for the exact same reason …it’s so therapeutic! What I took from this also is the ink wash! I was trying to figure out a good idea other than graphite, something smoother! Awesome! Thanks Betsi! 💙
I'm glad you enjoyed the ink wash . It can take some fine tuning, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty handy.
It's 10 minutes to 1am here in the UK and I'll be going to sleep with a smile on my face cos I got to see your video. Thank you so much. I'll be trying this out in the morning.
Goodnight 👋🏾 xxx
Wow. You're too kind. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. 💚☺️💚
Now this is what I call Zen. So strange that upon awakening, I decided to use this pattern in the drawing I'm working on. Thank you for this, and for showing us the ink wash. One of my favorite patterns. Don't need to think, yet looks so intricate and delicate. 🎨💖🕊️
That's what I love to hear 💕. When I learn new things I often let it simmer for a day or two, and then try it out. I'm glad it worked out for you.
Loved watching. Thanks!
Looks like beautiful flowing hair…
Very satisfying :-) reminds me of hair, or wood grain…
Another stunning design! I love how it looks like flowing hair. It also reminds me of the kelp forests at the central California coast at Monterey. If you're up for a challenge, I have one for you involving this motif and maybe some of your beautiful flowers, or any other motif really. Just let me know. 😊
I saw hair and kelp too! 😊
Challenge accepted.
Also, I had never noticed that it looked like kelp but now that you mention it... Maybe the next one will be reef themed.
I use this design all the time. I love how many ways you can use it. Fun
You totally transformed that piece. I really like this design! TFS!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for showing this design 🌻
I use Flow a lot & love the depths I achieve with it.
Hello from VANCOUVER BC Canada. I have recently found you and must say In am totally
impressed with your style,your interactions with yhe audience and you have opened so many doors for me, I struggled with shadding,couldn t seem to get the right feel, and you have opened that door. I will be following your journey and adding to mine. lov & light. Randy
Welcome! Be patient with yourself in your journey. I am here to help and we certainly have a wonderful community here if you have any questions or ideas to share.
Thank you! I have been waiting to see a larger area done with this design. I love the drawing! ❤
You are so welcome!
This "flow" is a good filler for me. I was changing style and tools completely to ink and dip-pen and like organic look-a-likes. so this flow often enough is a flower stalk or something and there is a lot going on between to of them. I mix it up with shells and snails and flowers of fabric ribbon (thanks for Your inspiration btw :) ).
The shadowing is a hit. You can slowly build up a good looking 3D like visualisation. I like it a lot and is easy done. May the art be with You. And patience and confidence and inspirations. I have an abo on your channel, but do not feel stalked, only motivated. :) Greetings
😊. Thank you for watching, and I totally don't feel stalked. It's nice to know I can help with a little inspo.
Hi B, I’m going to try my water pen with ink. Never tried it before but I’m probably going to to use a purple ink 🙂 Thakyou once again for your tutorials…I’m a bit addicted to your style of drawing 😂
That sounds wonderful! Have fun 🦋
I absolutely love your channel. Your artwork is stunning and you make every design look so easy through your explanations and the India ink and water mix is brilliant !!! Your art journal looks beautiful. Is it store bought or homemade ? Thank you for sharing your talent 🙏🏻🌸😊
Thank you so much! Sorry it took me a while to get to your comment 😓. The journal is handmade.
I’ve noticed this before on your pictures, and thought of hair. Or kelp forests, if it was with some marine type creatures. It didn’t especially appeal, in that I wanted to do it, until I saw you actually do it…then it was, oh yes, I get that! I found that interesting, that it wasn’t about the looks so much but the creation, the movement. And I really see how it is addictive and meditative and connecting…I am definitely going to experiment with it. I said ‘flow’ just as you did too, made me laugh!
I think sometimes we can really love doing something, it’s a real passion, then something else takes our attention and it fades. I do this a lot, sometimes I go back to a thing, rediscover it and enjoy it again, sometimes not. I used to think it was a fault, but now I just see it as wanting to experience everything I can.
Love watching you do these, love the commentary too. Thank you 😊❤
I think that's why it's easy to find so many folks using this design. It might not always have the wow factor that other patterns have, but the joy of drawing it is immense. It's why we keep coming back to it 😊.
Very beautiful! I have used this before but now I'll use it again since I've seen it. I love the idea of the diluted India Ink in a water brush for shading. I will try that! Graphite is ok but I really love the look of the ink. Thanks for another great video!🥰
I'm glad you like the idea of using an ink wash 😊 it's a lot of fun.
I've been seeing this pattern a lot lately. I find it stunningly beautiful.❤ It does remind me of hair: long, thick, and vibrant ❤
I totally agree!
I think of Rapunzel when you use this line.pattern" Let down your golden hair."
It would be fun to do a Rapunzel character drawing using this 😊
Mrs Betsy, thank God I found you! I can quite my mind, thank you for what you do! ❤
Wonderful! I wish you peace of mind. We all deserve that.
Neat trick with the ink in the water brush. I actually didn’t expect your gel pen to be waterproof.
Same here. I actually expected the water to drag the ink from the pen at least a little, but it turned out that it was pretty stable. Happy surprises.
Been a while since I used this design, I used to draw trees and leaves with it. Thanks for reminding me of it. It's very relaxing.
My pleasure 😊
I use this design a lot as well-I find it so relaxing and satisfying- love your channel
Glad you enjoy it!
Love this type of line work. I have several journals filled with the mesmerizing, therapeutic, self-healing , get lost enough in doing them that the stress melts away….line work. Thanks so much for sharing your creations and how-tos😊
Wonderful! 😊 Isn't it a nice feeling, looking through them?
🍃 💕
I love this❤
Love. Thanks for sharing all your doodles!!
Glad you like them!
Love your demos and your beautiful voice
Awww 💕 thank you.
I’ve gotten much better at this pattern, it’s easier then done.
Sometimes it takes a little patience. I'm glad you're persevering 💙.
I love this design. It kind of creates itself. ❤
It really does☺️. It's so nice to shut off a few mental processes and just let the drawing happen organically.
All your designs are addictive
Wow thank you ! I know for sure I'm pretty addicted, so I'm happy to see that others like them too =)
Hi Betsi, thanks for showing the lines. Just by drawing lines and letting it flow can create so much movement and beauty.
Do you use sakura micron pens for your drawings? I have many of them. Just wondering whether they are better as opposed to this pen you are using.
Thanks
I have never really been fond of microns. They are wonderful at first, but they feel much too delicate. If you have a gentle hand you might enjoy them, but my personal favorite pen when it comes to big brands would be the Fudenosuke from Tombow. The smallest pen I use now is a 0.1 made by pentel called the pointliner S20p. I prefer these over microns.
Thank you for the recommendations. I agree with you on the microns. The flow of ink are not always great and after a while there isn't any flow of ink anymore. It happened to a few of mine. I never understand why.
It looks beautiful.
Thanks 💚💕💙
Beautiful ❤ Just go with the flow ❤
Absolutely 🌊
Stunning. Thank you.
Aww thank you. It's absolutely my pleasure 🦋
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
Looks very warm and inviting! Love it for sure !
Than you 💙.
Good afternoon
Howdy 😊
You have opened a whole new world of art to me!!! Love this!
Another great video! I love to watch your videos , while I work on my art. Your voice is so calming and your videos are full of helpful information, such as, diluting the ink with water, to create shadows is so cool. Thanks again!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 💕😊💕
When I saw this pattern recurring in the video where you went through your book, I loved it, but it looked way too complicated for me to try. I'm so glad you decided to show us how it's achieved. It looks so complex but is so very Zen. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! It really is very simple and intuitive.
Thanks!
Wow! Two days in a row! You're so sweet. I really appreciate the gift ☺️
@@betsi_jae Thank you but you said you would do a tutorial for the wavy pattern when I asked last week so I thought I’d show my appreciation 😊 I said something similar initially but when I hit the tip icon, it replaced it with simply “thanks”
@@Coasterdude02149 either way 😊 . I really appreciate it. You've been very kind.
Thank you Betsi! I have been waiting for this one! I really really really love this one and can’t wait to try it out, once I finish watching the video. I am so excited that I have to comments first! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Thank you for your enthusiasm 💚😊💚. I hope you have fun with this design.
I am still trying to practice the randomness of it. It seems like I do them in patterns…
Because of health issues I'm often drawing while laying down. And I use a lot of colored pencils. So I like a pencil sharpener with a receptacle, that is one that contains the shavings. I'm really enjoying the Prismacolor sharpener which has two options. One is for the regular shorter point and another option offers a longer point. Plus, it's really good for the colored pencils which are softer and tend to break easier.
