I really love how stylized her art is. And how every piece she makes is pretty much a watermark for itself, because when you look at her art, you know for certain it’s hers.
Honestly if someone tried to steal her art it would be superrr easy to tell (not that people can’t have similar art styles) Edit: Guys. Calm down. I said you can have similar artstyles. If you tried to trace her work you’d have to have a very similar style to make it look authentic. Or if they straight up took her work Lavender would likely be a good place to start knowing her style. I didn’t mean to offend anyone
@@reginaldforthright805 It's the same style but there are so much more detail and even more confidence. She literally made a video about it. It's similar but not the same.
I love your style and colors but I think that this doesn't look like an "American" type of cartoon, it just feels like normal fanart (which is cool too). In my opinion it simply looks like how you would draw them but it's not like the common cartoonish western type
I love your style so much it definitely has more interest than most mainstream cartoons, but I feel like it’s less a western cartoon style and more just “drawing my favorite anime in my style”
“The characters really stay with you-“ yeah- that show fucking horrified me, I was like 8 when I watched Madoka, the only reason I finished was because the morbid curiosity of it
My brother after watching the show decided to show me who, at the time was (like you) 8 this show, leading me on about it being a happy kids anime. I fell into a depressive episode when the friend did her thing. I have never recovered from that show
i love how every clip she sounds so quiet at the beginning and then slowly gets more comfortable. and then when theres a cut or new clip you can hear the difference
The Madoka one was really helpful to me. I really liked it and I'll definitely be taking some notes! Another amazing video, and one of my favorites for sure!
Funny you mentioned how the "western" version of Spy x Family would be more about a trio of friends actually reminds me a lot of Kill Me Baby. It's a trio of high school friends (okay not really friends), and while one isn't a psychic but is just unhinged, there is an assassin and a ninja. It's a cute and silly anime I recommend if you want a good "Welp...that just happened".
Honestly I feel like there are some animes that wouldn't be that different in the west like I don't think Kotora Lives Alone wouldn't be that different. Also I really love that show.
I have recently started watching SPYxFAMILY with my younger sister and we are both obsessed with it! I’m one for action adventure type stories so getting that plus a little slice of life wholesome moments felt like just the right mix! It’s such a good show and I love the relationship the “family” shares. It’s just such a sweet and enjoyable anime. Its def become my fav anime.
Idk if anyone will care about my opinion, but I really am loving and obsessed with Komi Can't Communicate. It's hilarious, wholesome, yet so relatable. If you like fun, over the top characters that are somehow so relatable, cute romances, amazing queer representation, and just all around good time, then try out Komi. Idk if most people hate it, love it, or are meh about it, but I'm loving it ❤
I'm a lesbian but Komi and Tadano are GOALS, and I love how Najimi can just Be™ without having to defend their existence. It's definitely one of my favourite anime and I hope it gets more seasons (Ren Yamai's character bothered me a lil tho- why does the only lesbian have to be a pervert and a creep obsessed with Komi :( )

As an growing artist, I'm wanting to make my own American anime! I've being planning the plot for 5 years now, and I'm still doing character design! The western art style is great along with the eastern! Anyway thanks for uploading! Edit the plot- An African American female teenaged girl who has powers that are related to time. She reverse, stop, slowdown, and speed up time! That power is called "Time capsule" she ends up in a lot of conflict during her daily life, and suffers trying to get decent grades, along with arguing with her mother about how she hasn't seen father since she was about 5 years of age. She ends up running away from home, thinking she can runaway from her problems, but she somehow ends up in a mysterious place after running about 15 minutes away from her house.

Madoka Magica is one of my favorite animes and Madoka looks so cute in your style! Edit: My all time favorite is Death Note and a new favorite is Higarashi When They Cry (the new version.)
the little "yeehaw" in the title is so amusing I love it I've never been big into anime but I've recently started watching a couple here and there. (I watched Violet Evergarden, most of One Punch Man, a movie called A Whisker Away, and now I'm watching Demon Slayer) This was an entertaining episode for sure I FREAKING LOVE THE CAT SKELETON SKETCH YOU DID WOW I LOVE THAT You did a fantastic job making the cracked phone screen look super cool I'd heard about Madoka recently and I'm interested in watching it but idk where 😭 I love the deeper psychological theme congrats on the sponsor :D
My absolute favorite animal of all time is Natsume Yuujincho! It's written by the same person as "into the forest of fireflies". I've heard a lot of people call this an unwind anime, one you can just put on after a long day of work, and I couldn’t agree more. It's slow paced, easy to follow, and extremely mellow. It's obvious that the series is a work of passion and I couldn't recommend it more.
I love Lavender’s style so much. It’s the perfect mix of semi-anime, cartoony, and stylized cartoon in general. I especially love the amount of details in the faces of her characters, especially the eyes.
BUNGO STRAY DOGS!! an amazing show, it's about actual adults, not teenagers so it's a good refresh. also,, watching you and your art grow over the years is so,, IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT
Well there are some teenagers (Atsushi, the mc is a teenager for example) BUT yes, the majority of the cast are adults and I think it helps to ground the story really well even though they all have superpowers ^^ Definitely worth watching- the show is a lot more underrated in the West
omg i loveeeeee the oddtaxi art!!! as someone who watched it weekly, i can remember the how crazy that scene was and this art is just giving me those chills but better!
I highly recommend the Ancient Magus Bride anime and manga. It’s an awesome mix of dark and twisted and wholesome and magical. Welcome to Demon School! Iruma Kun is an amazing feel good and funny anime/manga.
One of my all-time favorite animes that's a bit lesser-known is Mushishi! It's about this guy in past Japan going around and helping people with basically ghost bacteria that causes problems for humans. It's got a super laid-back vibe, and the concept is really interesting. An anime that I watched more recently was Fumetsu no Anata E. I ended up enjoying it as well!
i think the like whole cartoony spooky vibe u gave to anya is perfect i mean the show is like a bout spies assasins and stuff, its more gorey and like 16+ in the adults side
They're art has come a LOONNGG way and I love that. This is an example of coming from a good artist to a FULL ON GOD at art! Really good video! Love ya ♡♡
I've been watching and have fallen in love with Birdie Wing; but I can't imagine how it could possibly succeed as a Western cartoon. The absolute anime-ness of it is part of what makes the whole concept work.
I love your drawings!! My all-time favorite anime is Given, it's a mix of slice-of-life drama with some romance and also about music, it's amazing. My most recent favorite anime is Fire Force, it's been out for a few years but I just recently watched it and I love it. It's about a world with spontanious human combustion, fire powers, and the fire force has to put the infernals (people turned into fire demons) to rest. It's also amazing. Love your videos!
But these don't look anything like "Western cartoon" styles lol. They just look like they were redrawn in your own personal style, which is itself heavily influenced by anime.
@@pastelpudding1097 That doesn't change that her artstyle doesn't look anything like the traditional western cartoon. Think of like The Owl House, Steven Universe, Star vs the Forces Of Evil, ect. Now think of anime like Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Naruto, ect, the art styles bewteen the two cartoons are nothing alike. It's pretty much not western cartoon. Everyone is influenced by everything, just because you take inspiration doesn't mean it's automatically what you took inspirations from. Anya looked pretty much like her anime counterpart. She didn't change the outfit, or the hair style, or anything to look more "western". Even Madoka's outfit didn't change. I'm pretty sure Japanese uniforms are different from American and European ones. LavenderTowne's artstyle has the anime staples, like the weird bangs and the big eyes. Of course her line art and body proportions are different, but that doesn't change that it looks more anime than anything else.
Agreed. I mean, i still love how she draws them, but it's basically fanart and not a reimagination of these anime in western style. Not to mention that this style would be good for concept design or comic, but not so good for animation because of all the little details
@@pastelpudding1097 anime isn't pretty much western cartoon LOL anime has its own aesthetic, animation techniques, and cultural influences that differentiates itself from western cartoons, and vice versa. just because one is inspired by the other, doesn't make it the original. i know for a fact you're not going to point at mickey mouse and call that anime. you'd sound like an idiot if you do. it's like saying italian pasta is chinese noodles bc noodles were brought to italy from china and made into pasta; however, we know that there is a huge difference between italian pasta and chinese noodles, even though the idea was borrowed however, you're right that anime is short for animation in japanese, but we're not in japan. that's the difference. when the term "anime" was brought into the english language, it was used as a distinction between western cartoons and japanese animation, changing the original definition overall. that means for us, "anime" would refer to japanese animation, not anything else
3:45 She looks like, IF you procreated. Also I have a Suggestion; The Wizard of Oz The Book has a bunch of Crazy Creatures that I would love to see your take on. For Example in the book THE WIZARD does not simply appear as a giant head, he appears differently to each character. Dorothy sees him as a Giant Green Head (as seen in the film) Scarecrow sees him as Beautiful Winged Lady (Drag) The Tin Man sees him as a Wild Beast (My favorite out of the four) and The Lion sees him as Great Ball of Fire (as also kinda seen in the film). The Book also Boasts these things called "Kalidahs" which have Tiger heads and Bear bodies. L. Frank Baum was a crazy and creative camper.
I've been pretty obsessed with Ensemble Stars since I got the game Ensemble Stars Music a few days ago. So to see you be sponsored by them is pretty neat (and also a really good choice on their end).
I hate to break the chain of positive comments but none of these fit the "Westernization" theme because she just drew it all in her own style like any other video. I love Lavendertowne but this video almost feels like a cop out. Not to mention the undertone of "Anime is far better than Western cartoons" in the section where she draws Anya. Western cartoons don't typically have "creepy" styles because a lot of them are made for children in mind. She could've kept Anya as cute as she is in the anime so this felt weird. Some of the things she did which didn't match the Western theme was her pen pressure lineart. As an artist I love lineart that isn't static but she's trying to emulate a certain style of animation so it doesn't work here. Western cartoons back in the day had thicker lines but nowadays they're somewhat slimmer so either could've worked. She should've also tried to keep it clean too. Next issue is the detail. The coloring of the lines, wrinkles in the clothing, shading, and lighting really mess this up. Animation styles in the West are usually kept simple to make it easier on the animators. Characters eyes are rounded out, their hair is simplified shapes, and the overall anatomy is either blocky or soft depending on what era of Western animation she was going for. At the end of the day this feels more like anime fanart instead of seeing how anime characters would look in a Western style. It still gets a like from me but I wish she put a bit more effort into this one. Still love her work though! 💫
Hetalia is my favorite anime of all time, but I would NEVER recommend it to someone else unless they were used to lower-quality animes, lol. But despite its problems, it's really funny and even emotional at times and the characters are so interesting, especially in their character songs released separately from the anime..! But as for an anime I'd actually recommend, Princess Jellyfish would be my #1 pick! The characters are great and their interactions and growth throughout the series make the show really special. (The art style of the manga, especially the covers, is really beautiful as well!)
'the tatami galaxy' is a must-watch i think, the style is unique and i find it really nice. the story and characters are what makes it so incredible tho!
I love how anime characters look in your style, the cute and sometimes creepy nature of anime characters just hands itself to your style so nicely! I know you did the different art style challenge 5 year's ago, but it would be really interesting to see again Or drawing cartoon characters in your style would be fun too c:
One of my favorites is Madoka Magica, but a while ago I watched an old movie called lupin the 3rd: Castle of Cagliostro. It was animated by the same guy who made studio Ghibli, and it has some amazing fight scenes in it.
Oh cool new video, love the art style, always gets me motivated Honestly i love spyxfamily, it really is a refresher from all the "not your average 14 year old" stuff My favorite anime is MHA and recently found a great love for Spyxfamily
My all time favourite anime is Mekakucity actors which is based in a manga which is based in a music saga made by the vocaloid producer Jin, I really reccomend it!! 💖💖💫
I've watched you for years and you've been a huge inspiration and you've helped me out with a lot of things while watching your videos, I really can't thank you enough and I am in LOVE with your art style, you've improved so much over the years and I really like how you interpreted the characters designs into a more cartoonish style, and still made it obvious who each person was 🤗❤ Your probably hearing this show alot in your chat but I would like to see what you can do with Josuke Higashikata from part 4 of jojo's bizarre adventure, I really like this character and I'm curious to see what you can do with his design❤💗💖
I'm not sure you'll see this, but I love your art! It's super cute! ^^ But I have a suggestion for a show you could watch: maybe like Amphibia or The Owl House. They're both Disney shows, out on Disney+. I really love both the shows, they're my top favorites. They both have a few similarities, but not to the point where they're both like the same. Amphibia has 3 seasons, and recently ended, and The Owl House currently has 2 seasons, but it might be getting about 3 extended episodes in about October 2022. I hope you see this, and try either of the shows! You don't have to though, it'd just make me happy to see you at least watched some. ^^
For anime I’d definitely recommend Hunter X Hunter, there’s more tweens and adults than teenagers taking on the entire world. Each part is very focused on the story and you can feel what emotion it’s trying to convey and characters determination.
yay she’s posting more often now, idc if she does 2 or 20 characters, as long as she posted a video I’ll be really happy!!! you’re literally the first TH-camr I subscribed to. ilysm! I hope you know how much we appreciate you!! Edit: it might sound like I’m lying, but seriously, I’m subscribed to a lot of people, and she’s actually the first person I subscribed to, I remember seeing her vid on drawing realistic to cartoony around like 2-ish years ago maybe? it was the first vid of hers I saw and I subscribed to her, I used to not watch TH-cam that often but after I deleted tiktok I wanted to watch TH-cam instead and I found her channel and I still love her lol

It's obvious that the series is a work of passion and I couldn't recommend it more.
omg i loveee natsume yuujincho! so calming but also it made me cry a bit too much 💀
Violet Evergarden is my all time favorite anime. The background art is amazing and the story is breathtaking.
Woah, I wasn't expecting Odd Taxi appreciation.
Madoka magica is my all time favorite anime. The witch segments are just so funkyyyy
I love Lavender’s style so much.
It’s the perfect mix of semi-anime, cartoony, and stylized cartoon in general. I especially love the amount of details in the faces of her characters, especially the eyes.
Girl this is just regular fanart kvkdkkfkdk. Good for you tho, youre killing it they all look so good
BUNGO STRAY DOGS!! an amazing show, it's about actual adults, not teenagers so it's a good refresh. also,, watching you and your art grow over the years is so,, IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN IT BUT
I WAS GONNA SAY BUNGO STRAY DOGS TOO😄
i love bungou stray dogs so much and both the artstyle and the anime and the manga are so charming ^^
Yeah, Bungo Stray Dogs is an amazing show.
Well there are some teenagers (Atsushi, the mc is a teenager for example) BUT yes, the majority of the cast are adults and I think it helps to ground the story really well even though they all have superpowers ^^
Definitely worth watching- the show is a lot more underrated in the West
@@bellesparky atsushi is 18, he's considered as an adult
Kyoka and kenji however are teenagers, theyre both 14
A great anime is Toilet bound hanako, the art is amazing and it’s quite interesting! The characters stick to you along with the artwork.
I need an American cartoon in Haley's style! (Yeehaw)

i almost jumped off my bed when she started talking about odd taxi. It's easily one of the most underrated anime i've seen
Ah yes, yee of haw
the great pretender is a good “deep and dark” anime, my all time fav
The last one got me of guard!! Subaru looks so cute 😍
Maybe you can draw more idols characters 🤔 maybe some love live ones 👀
omg i loveeeeee the oddtaxi art!!! as someone who watched it weekly, i can remember the how crazy that scene was and this art is just giving me those chills but better!
As a wise man once said : “yanks and yeehaw 🤠”
As a very big fan of Enstars for like 2 years, and a big fan of your videos for like 3 or 4, seeing you get sponsored by Enstars is really cool!
Lavender Towne is one of my favorite TH-camrs and also inspires me thank you🖤

I WAS NOT EXPECTING AN ENSTARS CHARACTER THAT WAS A JUMPSCARE LMAO but seriously love how you drew Subaru!!!
I love how you design the characters part you part anime!!❤️

So basically Lavender making a bunch of fanart, and me getting recommendations for new animes- 10/10
I highly recommend the Ancient Magus Bride anime and manga. It’s an awesome mix of dark and twisted and wholesome and magical. Welcome to Demon School! Iruma Kun is an amazing feel good and funny anime/manga.
One of my all-time favorite animes that's a bit lesser-known is Mushishi! It's about this guy in past Japan going around and helping people with basically ghost bacteria that causes problems for humans. It's got a super laid-back vibe, and the concept is really interesting.
An anime that I watched more recently was Fumetsu no Anata E. I ended up enjoying it as well!
i love how lately you've been adding the small animations during your intros! keep up the good work ^_^
i think the like whole cartoony spooky vibe u gave to anya is perfect i mean the show is like a bout spies assasins and stuff, its more gorey and like 16+ in the adults side
They're art has come a LOONNGG way and I love that. This is an example of coming from a good artist to a FULL ON GOD at art! Really good video! Love ya ♡♡
the “(yeehaw)” in the title rlly got me 😭😭😭 i haven’t even started the video yet😭
I've been watching and have fallen in love with Birdie Wing; but I can't imagine how it could possibly succeed as a Western cartoon. The absolute anime-ness of it is part of what makes the whole concept work.
I love your drawings!! My all-time favorite anime is Given, it's a mix of slice-of-life drama with some romance and also about music, it's amazing. My most recent favorite anime is Fire Force, it's been out for a few years but I just recently watched it and I love it. It's about a world with spontanious human combustion, fire powers, and the fire force has to put the infernals (people turned into fire demons) to rest. It's also amazing. Love your videos!
But these don't look anything like "Western cartoon" styles lol. They just look like they were redrawn in your own personal style, which is itself heavily influenced by anime.
@@pastelpudding1097 That doesn't change that her artstyle doesn't look anything like the traditional western cartoon. Think of like The Owl House, Steven Universe, Star vs the Forces Of Evil, ect.
Now think of anime like Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Naruto, ect, the art styles bewteen the two cartoons are nothing alike. It's pretty much not western cartoon. Everyone is influenced by everything, just because you take inspiration doesn't mean it's automatically what you took inspirations from.
Anya looked pretty much like her anime counterpart. She didn't change the outfit, or the hair style, or anything to look more "western". Even Madoka's outfit didn't change. I'm pretty sure Japanese uniforms are different from American and European ones.
LavenderTowne's artstyle has the anime staples, like the weird bangs and the big eyes. Of course her line art and body proportions are different, but that doesn't change that it looks more anime than anything else.
Agreed. I mean, i still love how she draws them, but it's basically fanart and not a reimagination of these anime in western style. Not to mention that this style would be good for concept design or comic, but not so good for animation because of all the little details
No no, they have a point.
@@pastelpudding1097 anime isn't pretty much western cartoon LOL anime has its own aesthetic, animation techniques, and cultural influences that differentiates itself from western cartoons, and vice versa. just because one is inspired by the other, doesn't make it the original. i know for a fact you're not going to point at mickey mouse and call that anime. you'd sound like an idiot if you do. it's like saying italian pasta is chinese noodles bc noodles were brought to italy from china and made into pasta; however, we know that there is a huge difference between italian pasta and chinese noodles, even though the idea was borrowed
however, you're right that anime is short for animation in japanese, but we're not in japan. that's the difference. when the term "anime" was brought into the english language, it was used as a distinction between western cartoons and japanese animation, changing the original definition overall. that means for us, "anime" would refer to japanese animation, not anything else
I concur
i am literally so shoked rn that you did subaru from enstars like- WHAT OMGG
3:45 She looks like, IF you procreated.
Also I have a Suggestion; The Wizard of Oz
The Book has a bunch of Crazy Creatures that I would love to see your take on.
For Example in the book THE WIZARD does not simply appear as a giant head, he appears differently to each character.
Dorothy sees him as a Giant Green Head (as seen in the film)
Scarecrow sees him as Beautiful Winged Lady (Drag)
The Tin Man sees him as a Wild Beast (My favorite out of the four)
and The Lion sees him as Great Ball of Fire (as also kinda seen in the film).
The Book also Boasts these things called "Kalidahs" which have Tiger heads and Bear bodies.
L. Frank Baum was a crazy and creative camper.
I've been pretty obsessed with Ensemble Stars since I got the game Ensemble Stars Music a few days ago. So to see you be sponsored by them is pretty neat (and also a really good choice on their end).
Awesome video lavendertowne!! You never disappoint with your uploads!!
im crying over the ensemble stars stuff like you know there was a whole war in that game
You should’ve drawn mami getting her head eaten off But I still really like it also your Anya one is really cute
Lmao that might have been a bit too dark
Omg you should make your own cartoon off your comic or something idk i would watch it
i love your art so much haley! you’re so talented :)

I hate to break the chain of positive comments but none of these fit the "Westernization" theme because she just drew it all in her own style like any other video.
I love Lavendertowne but this video almost feels like a cop out. Not to mention the undertone of "Anime is far better than Western cartoons" in the section where she draws Anya. Western cartoons don't typically have "creepy" styles because a lot of them are made for children in mind. She could've kept Anya as cute as she is in the anime so this felt weird.
Some of the things she did which didn't match the Western theme was her pen pressure lineart. As an artist I love lineart that isn't static but she's trying to emulate a certain style of animation so it doesn't work here. Western cartoons back in the day had thicker lines but nowadays they're somewhat slimmer so either could've worked. She should've also tried to keep it clean too.
Next issue is the detail. The coloring of the lines, wrinkles in the clothing, shading, and lighting really mess this up. Animation styles in the West are usually kept simple to make it easier on the animators. Characters eyes are rounded out, their hair is simplified shapes, and the overall anatomy is either blocky or soft depending on what era of Western animation she was going for.
At the end of the day this feels more like anime fanart instead of seeing how anime characters would look in a Western style.
It still gets a like from me but I wish she put a bit more effort into this one. Still love her work though! 💫
Hetalia is my favorite anime of all time, but I would NEVER recommend it to someone else unless they were used to lower-quality animes, lol. But despite its problems, it's really funny and even emotional at times and the characters are so interesting, especially in their character songs released separately from the anime..!
But as for an anime I'd actually recommend, Princess Jellyfish would be my #1 pick! The characters are great and their interactions and growth throughout the series make the show really special. (The art style of the manga, especially the covers, is really beautiful as well!)
anya is literally adorable and i love her original design and the way you drew her
I love all of your art, it’s always so amazing and creative❤️
I'm rlly sick so thanks for uploading cause you just made my day 10 times better
I love your art and you’re a HUGE inspiration
Every time LT uploads a new video, I get more and more obsessed with her art style
This turned from a anime in western style to just anime in your style.
'the tatami galaxy' is a must-watch i think, the style is unique and i find it really nice. the story and characters are what makes it so incredible tho!
I love how anime characters look in your style, the cute and sometimes creepy nature of anime characters just hands itself to your style so nicely! I know you did the different art style challenge 5 year's ago, but it would be really interesting to see again
Or drawing cartoon characters in your style would be fun too c:
Ngl this hit me more as a "drawing anime in my style" kinda thing rather than in a more western cartoon style. Looks great as usual tho uwu
I love the stylization to all the characters. my favorite being the strange taxi one.❤
I recommend giving houseki no kuni a try💎
The under eye spikes are one of my favorite things you do in your art
Yay another video from one of my favorite TH-camrs!!! ☺️
Yeehaw cowboy.

One of my favorites is Madoka Magica, but a while ago I watched an old movie called lupin the 3rd: Castle of Cagliostro. It was animated by the same guy who made studio Ghibli, and it has some amazing fight scenes in it.
Oh cool new video, love the art style, always gets me motivated
Honestly i love spyxfamily, it really is a refresher from all the "not your average 14 year old" stuff
My favorite anime is MHA and recently found a great love for Spyxfamily
"Madoka imitators"
*shows magical girl site* yeah
*shows wonder egg priority* hey hold on a sec-
My all time favourite anime is Mekakucity actors which is based in a manga which is based in a music saga made by the vocaloid producer Jin, I really reccomend it!! 💖💖💫
I love seeing all these kinds of videos, you’re extremely creative!
me looking art the thumbnail : IS THAT MADOKA MAGICA!!! O - O
Let’s just appreciate that Lavendertowne has the time and energy to post every week.
IM INLOVE WITH YOUR DRAWING STYLE IDK HOW ITS SO CHAOTIC AND SUCH GOOD FACIAL EXPRESSIONS THE ART STYLE IS AMAZING
I've watched you for years and you've been a huge inspiration and you've helped me out with a lot of things while watching your videos, I really can't thank you enough and I am in LOVE with your art style, you've improved so much over the years and I really like how you interpreted the characters designs into a more cartoonish style, and still made it obvious who each person was 🤗❤ Your probably hearing this show alot in your chat but I would like to see what you can do with Josuke Higashikata from part 4 of jojo's bizarre adventure, I really like this character and I'm curious to see what you can do with his design❤💗💖
You should do a video where you create characters out of times in the day. Like morning, afternoon, sunset, and night. Love your vids btw
I'm not sure you'll see this, but I love your art! It's super cute! ^^
But I have a suggestion for a show you could watch: maybe like Amphibia or The Owl House. They're both Disney shows, out on Disney+. I really love both the shows, they're my top favorites. They both have a few similarities, but not to the point where they're both like the same. Amphibia has 3 seasons, and recently ended, and The Owl House currently has 2 seasons, but it might be getting about 3 extended episodes in about October 2022.
I hope you see this, and try either of the shows! You don't have to though, it'd just make me happy to see you at least watched some. ^^
YALL WHEN SHE DREW SUBARU I LOST MY SHIT WELCOME TO IDOL HELL HALEY
For anime I’d definitely recommend Hunter X Hunter, there’s more tweens and adults than teenagers taking on the entire world. Each part is very focused on the story and you can feel what emotion it’s trying to convey and characters determination.
I got so happy when madoka came up i haven’t seen many people draw them
yay she’s posting more often now, idc if she does 2 or 20 characters, as long as she posted a video I’ll be really happy!!! you’re literally the first TH-camr I subscribed to. ilysm! I hope you know how much we appreciate you!!
Edit: it might sound like I’m lying, but seriously, I’m subscribed to a lot of people, and she’s actually the first person I subscribed to, I remember seeing her vid on drawing realistic to cartoony around like 2-ish years ago maybe? it was the first vid of hers I saw and I subscribed to her, I used to not watch TH-cam that often but after I deleted tiktok I wanted to watch TH-cam instead and I found her channel and I still love her lol
I love that you chose my favorite character in OddTaxi. Their storyline was so relatable and sad.
TYSM FOR INSPIRING ME TO DRAW!,BTW your artstyle is cute, And how u drew madoka kaname💗💗
