Given that the last episode was "We literally just made Karina draw hot monsters for 40 minutes" and this one is "I made myself draw backgrounds every day for a week", it can be inferred that in the Drawfee canon, every video title is spoken from Jacob's perspective.
jacob kinda feels like the main character of drawfee, not because he's better than the others, they're all great, but because it always feels like he's the one trying to make things progress
@@dr.funnybones I don't know about him being the leader. Maybe. But I will say that when they assigned ninja turtles to all of them, Jacob got Donatello. So...
@@dr.funnybones he does look like the anime main. He’s not the strongest, but seems to be the intersection point of the group, is always struggling to be better and is always trying to guide everyone forward despite being constantly bullied by the others. And he always provides amazing moments and drawfee lore.
It's so easy to forget that Jacob is colourblind when he busts out works that, even as he says he's not confident, are amazingly executed. Jacob is overcoming a bigger hurdle than most visually capable artists, and rocking it.
Omg, I always forget that Jacob is red-green colorblind! Judging by his art, the colorblindness seems not to hold him back at all, but I do wonder now about his mental process for color picking and how he feels about his color choices, if he second-guesses himself a lot or not. He's talked a bit about it before, but I swear, even then, it's hard to believe that Jacob isn't working with the same visual palette as the rest of the crew.
@@elvinfp As I said, it's super easy to forget simply because Jacob's just a talented dude, and just gets the job done. I think in the episode where they drew in shades of red, he talked about it, and it's mostly knowing where the colours are on the wheel, and then playing with values if needing a particular tone. But since it's such second nature to him now, we barely blink as there's no hint that he's working with a reduced palette at all. The average person stumbling over a Jacob art would never know, and I think that's really cool.
While i do think these are very impressive and i love jacobs work, color picking is in use here, so theres no guess-work involved. Again i love drawfee and jacobs art but just letting you know the color choices here are not observational, simply 1:1.
Before he passed, my grandpa always liked to tell me that practice doesn’t make perfect-it’s too much pressure to ask yourself to be perfect-but what it does make is progress. I really loved seeing your progress, Jacob!
Here's a suggestion y'all probably won't see: Jacob, Nathan and Karina each make a character and Julia makes a background that they could pheasibly exist in
It would be cool to see them draw 4 characters who are friends/know each other. It could be all OC's in one universe (like Ace Attorney or something idk), all people from the same fantasy school, something like that
Something I really appreciate about Jacob is that he's always really vocal about the learning process. Makes artistic growth feel a lot more achievable. Great ep!
He is Drawfees (very exasperated) Dad for a reason. They all form a Drawfee together and it needs all of them. But someone has to drive the car and tell the kids to stop jumping on the bed and that's our Jacob 😋
backgrounds are everything to me. I love that you chose to pursue this for a whole week. This was wonderful and I hope to see more backgrounds from everyone
Jacob showing and talking about his approach to practicing and developing his skills has been genuinely inspiring for me! I've been trying to have something more like that that attitude myself in life. This was so fun to watch!
I think my favorite Jacob drawing ever was his travel poster for Wall Market from FF7. The energy he captured in that piece just perfectly hit some very visceral and specific nodes of nostalgia for me. So getting to see more backgrounds from him is such a damn delight. An extended practice, self-improvement series would be so neat. My favorite speed draws are always the ones where you can really see the growth that took place during the process. So cool and encouraging to watch.
I think Jacob's approach here has radically changed the way I think about my own practicing. I usually get very stuck in a "this must be a perfect reproduction" so I want to try to use some of these exercises to jump that hurdle and free myself up stylistically. Thanks for that ❤
YES Jacob, it's always so inspiring to get this kind of insight into your practice methods. Seeing various ways to simply the shapes in styles that don't need to be photorealistic to look cool makes practicing backgrounds seem much less intimidating.
This has actually been one of my favourit videos you made in quite a while. I love your speed draw episodes in general, because they show so much more progression in a short time. I am really happy with your decision to give entire episodes to one person, because I feel like it gives you more time to explore a single thing in detail without the pressure to not take away time from others. I think this shouldn't be the standard for all videos, but the frequence of those videos you have right now is nice. It is always great to see you guys challanging yourselfe to improve and doing 7 images in one video allowed you to explore the topic from many different angles. For me this has been all good things coming together... and getting away from technical reasons the backgrounds you drew looked beatifull as well! Great work! I would really like to see something like this again in the future.
I've been really enjoying the series of focusing in on one artist doing a thing, it's really nice :) I do really love shapey jacob backgrounds, they're always so pleasant.
This sort of process-breakdown is super helpful and makes me want to try and get out of my comfort zone artistically, so I would absolutely want to see more videos like this -Like drawing a horse every day for a week-
I love to see Jacob's improvement and it encourages me to try to make backgrounds. I think his third one would work really well in a graphic novel. I like how he interpreted the shapes of the buildings and helped to bring focus to certain areas.
I would love to see more processes from everyone!! This was super cool, they all looked awesome and hearing about Jacob's steps was really interesting and helpful!
I know y'all didn't really go into "seeing what's there vs. what your brain fills in", but this actually taught me how to *see* while using references rather than just letting myself fill in the gaps. Thanks for sharing!
I thought it was very cool to see one of you break into a really uncomfortable area of art/painting. Jacob chose to do something brave and looks like he learned a lot!
Hey Jacob, you really blew it out of the park on this one. Congrats on working past your feelings about this subject and getting out of your comfort zone. You were able to absorb and competently emulate multiple styles over a really short amount of time. You're an impressive artist, man.
It would be super interesting to see Jacob try and draw a character that could fit into each of these scenes! I usually struggle to gel styles together and get everything I want in one drawing..which is why I usually end up with just a landscape or just a character (which is fine too but yknow what I mean).
@@blarg2429 This sounds like Jacob's "I love drawing characters" reaction to a background challenge, antithesis of Julia's "I love backgrounds" reaction to a character design challenge. Ergo, all Jacob Horses must be rendered in Blender.
I really enjoyed this episode! Its nice to see someone show their study process because it kinda helps understand *how* to study for those who are unsure on what the best ways are that isnt just copying (like me lol), would love to see more videos like this!
these are all great!! I love the variance in styles across the board. Love watching other people draw backgrounds, need to start practicing them more myself. This video makes me want to do that. Would love to see the other hosts do practice videos as well!
I wonder how much of Jacob struggling with backgrounds because they're just nothing for longer is because he's doing more of a painterly approach? One of the hardest things about painting for me was exactly that. All art has an ugly middle stage but in paintings it feels like it lasts forever
Recently Ive been going through major mental health problems, but I know that watching Drawfee always makes me happy no matter what! Love you guys! (P.s. I made Everyone in the Sims out of boredom lol, and for party outfits I made Hitman Julia and Jacob because Jacob saying,"Oh hitman!" Always makes me laugh)
12:50 When you were using the Thick Paints brushes and talking about the whole "close enough" approach to landscape details, I was immediately like "this is the Bill Alexander/Bob Ross technique!" I'm gonna have to check out this brush set - I think these pretty much are the Bob Ross brushes you're looking for. 90% of the technique is just using super-thick paints over a wet layer of thinner paint and letting them break off the brush to make natural-looking textures.
“I don’t like doing this because I’m bad at it because I don’t practice it,” is literally me with drawing, so good to know that really good artists can feel exactly the same about things they don’t like to draw lol
I'm loving this new era of Drawfee, trying new formats and challenges, while also doing what you already excel at. The way you keep pushing your art really shows your dedication to growing as artists. It's really inspiring, and always a delight to watch you all! Lots of love! 🥰 PS: "Here's my Penis... cloud!" made me choke 😭🤣
Jacob! I love it! It so fun to hear your thoughts like this. and its amazing to see how good of an artist you are even outside of your comfort zone (do make everyone else do it too pls)
3:15 In Jacob's version of the image on the left the rocks being much bigger makes the scene look like the place where Goku fought Vegeta. It seems like the environment is more full, but lacks organic thingies (JacobHorse is not a living thing so he doesn't count)
Also i think this new format of videos are working well :) it's easier to see a 20 min video than a 40min and it's more focused around one of you or a particular practice like "drawing backgrounds" here
I would 100% love to watch an episode where everbody draws one background from a real life photo and everybody else has to guess where in the world it is.
My very fav type of background style to study is early looney toons. Stuff could seriously be in a museum. Yes I got the idea from the instagram account lol
Sometimes watching you guys I get jealous of how good you are at art. So it's really nice sometimes to see that you're still learning things too, and seeing that process encourages me to keep trying to get better myself.
I didn't know I needed this video until it popped around and now I FINALLY KNOW how to study backgrounds. Thanks Jacob, for both giving me hope AND destroying my only excuse to dodge the subject........ Now I have to tackle it.
"You can't get better if you don't do it, but you don't want to do it because you're not good at it" is honestly my biggest struggle with art 😅 I love drawing and painting but sometimes I just get so discouraged that everything I make sucks lol. Good to look back at when I started 2 years ago and realize I _do_ make progress!
YEEE i like this. IDEA: you all do parts of an image, without knowing what the others have done. Maybe have a rough stick figure drawing for everyone to follow. One person does the objects, one person does the background, and one person does the characters.
This video is very inspiring, actually! It's almost like if I sit down and try to study some backgrounds, I might actually learn how to draw and stylise them...
The moment Jacob added a glow to the street crossing piece it was like he breathed life into it, it was magical! ✨ Also, when Nathan said in the beginning “and I’m Nathan!” and then proceeded to make the most Nathancore contributions to the video for the rest of it, that was very good too.
"It is a field" cracked me up so much! Out of all the drawfers, his humor is closest to mine. And they're all pretty close tbh, but the venn diagram of my sense of humor and his is basically like an eclipse.
I was thinking of an Evan Dahm cityscape, with all the cylindrical shapes and roofs angling every which way. I love the buildings he draws, and the way he draws them - his latest series, 3rd Voice, has some great architecture in it.
"You can't get better if you don't do it, but you don't want to do it if you're not good already." This is the whole reason I haven't done art myself. I just scratch that itch by watching you guys.
So, about at the 9:35 mark, Julia says "It's hard to work on something you don't have a lot of confidence in" and, I literally just today finished a big project for my PhD that I struggled with so much and did a lot of procrastinating on, and just that phrase (and Jacob's follow up about knowing you'll probably mess up at some point) oddly hit so hard. In a comforting way. This is just a very long way to say how I have now found a phrase/logical thinking pathway that will probably help me a lot when I'm struggling with work. It was unexpected, and I'm definitely watching when I should be sleeping, but it is actually really comforting to think about.
if an update is ever made in this thread, id love to know what the csp paint name is of the brush. I remember Jacob mentioning that he renamed and reorganized all his brushes so sadly, ultimate scrungle is not the name on the asset store.
I know we all talk about how much Nathan has improved but can we talk about how much Jacob's art has improved??? Cause holy shit these were all incredible!

Thank you for this. It's kind of what I needed to hear today.
love this, thank you for sharing :)
I'm back four months later to finally watch this video, and this was precisely the comment I needed to see. Thanks for sharing that
I can't believe Jacob Drawfee chose to artistically AND physically flog himself for our own entertainment. Thank you Jacob, I love you.
He’s married, please do not ship
So Catholic of him
Oh my God, now we need Julia drawing characters without a background.
@@sparpieI am a julicob shipper and you can't stop me

Alternative Title: We Literally Forced Jacob to Draw Sexy Backgrounds Everyday for 1 Week
We should force him to add Jacob horses to each of them now. The backgrounds need subjects

The seven layers of hell. Jacob horse, street light, buildings, field, Steven universe, peepee cloud, and fog.

Scrolled down specifically to check for this comment
I'm so proud of Nathan. I love watching him grow as an artist.
He has a beautiful laugh
holy shit the "can't draw a straight line" brush is amazing. the way jacob used them too is gorgeous
When he first started drawing with it I hated it. By the end it was my favorite!
Something I really appreciate about Jacob is that he's always really vocal about the learning process. Makes artistic growth feel a lot more achievable. Great ep!
Agreed! Sometimes it’s easy to forget that everyone has to learn and practice
So true! I don't draw but I like to write, and their growth mindset is still inspirational =D
“Myself”
Damn, I can’t believe Drawfee was Jacob the whole time.
His name is Jacob Drawfee
(Scooby Gang voice) Time to see who was behind Jacob Drawfee all along!
...
GASP! Drawfee Jacob???
He is Drawfees (very exasperated) Dad for a reason. They all form a Drawfee together and it needs all of them. But someone has to drive the car and tell the kids to stop jumping on the bed and that's our Jacob 😋
I would love a stream of everyone just doing studies of things they’ve been trying to get better at. This concept is really nice

Indeed the rest of Drawfee should do their own versions of this challenge
I am also allergic to backgrounds, but watching Jacob try to get over them and do them encourages me to try
I love seeing this type of practice. It is encouraging to me to try to practice things I struggle with.
Any time I watch the Drawfee folks do something like this, it always makes me want to try exercises like these myself. It looks like a lot of fun.
Love this. More 7 day challenges pls! Nathan draws the same character in a different style/method everyday
With the grass thingy, I usually either take a smudge tool and smudge tf outta it, or I take a sorta spaced blend brush and use tf outta that too!
Do some character designs based off of John Fluevog shoes, there are some wild ones out there
This was lovely to watch, if any of you have something you wanna do in a similar format I would watch it instantly.
"And I'm Nathan!" .. and the reaction to the "depth of field".. Nathan is on fire xD ❤

Sounds like a very expensive technique XD

@user-lg8iw6bu5q Julia draws cute round pokemon from memory for a week
I would love an episode set that’s just the gang doing dives on their artistic weakpoints
“We force Julia to draw characters-without derailing”.
The moment Jacob added a glow to the street crossing piece it was like he breathed life into it, it was magical! ✨
Also, when Nathan said in the beginning “and I’m Nathan!” and then proceeded to make the most Nathancore contributions to the video for the rest of it, that was very good too.
Ah yes, Nathancore. A notorious and totally nonspecific aesthetic.
@Gemsineye You mean to say the best aesthetic
"It is a field" cracked me up so much! Out of all the drawfers, his humor is closest to mine. And they're all pretty close tbh, but the venn diagram of my sense of humor and his is basically like an eclipse.
The third one gives me very strong Shel Silverstein vibes. I could absolutely imagine a silly poem hanging out next to it.
That’s is exactly the vibe I was getting. The illustrations of Shel Silverstein or Roald Dahl’s illustrator Quentin Blake
This! I was coming here to comment that it looks like it could be straight out of Where the Sidewalk Ends
I was getting the illustrations from The Phantom Tollbooth
I was thinking of an Evan Dahm cityscape, with all the cylindrical shapes and roofs angling every which way. I love the buildings he draws, and the way he draws them - his latest series, 3rd Voice, has some great architecture in it.
and maybe a silly little horse too
Would absolutely watch a draw-what-you-see geoguesser challenge. Sounds like a good stream idea
1000% would be a top stream for me
Absolutely ^^ the unique buildings reminds me of Sanfran because of how together those buildings are and unique colors they have ^^
yes yes yes!
Yes!
YES YES YES YES YES
"You can't get better if you don't do it, but you don't want to do it if you're not good already." This is the whole reason I haven't done art myself. I just scratch that itch by watching you guys.
But you gotta
Do it, do the art, I believe in you.
This is why I keep starting then giving up, it's so frustrating when what's in your head doesn't translate AT ALL... and it just looks bad too 😭
Learning art is ROUGH but super rewarding
So, about at the 9:35 mark, Julia says "It's hard to work on something you don't have a lot of confidence in" and, I literally just today finished a big project for my PhD that I struggled with so much and did a lot of procrastinating on, and just that phrase (and Jacob's follow up about knowing you'll probably mess up at some point) oddly hit so hard. In a comforting way.
This is just a very long way to say how I have now found a phrase/logical thinking pathway that will probably help me a lot when I'm struggling with work.
It was unexpected, and I'm definitely watching when I should be sleeping, but it is actually really comforting to think about.
Noticed that Jacob's "Won't let you make a straight line no matter what" brush is called "Ultimate Scrungle" 😂
Do you know where I can download a brush like that?
@@JensDeBrabanter Lemme know if you find out! I'm dying to try it
At 3:35, you can see both the ultimate scrungle and lil' scrungle
@@JensDeBrabanter feels like something one would maybe get from a patron sub or something but idk
if an update is ever made in this thread, id love to know what the csp paint name is of the brush. I remember Jacob mentioning that he renamed and reorganized all his brushes so sadly, ultimate scrungle is not the name on the asset store.
I know we all talk about how much Nathan has improved but can we talk about how much Jacob's art has improved??? Cause holy shit these were all incredible!
I really like these one-person videos, it’s really fun to just take the time and appreciate each artist on their own
