Hello to my fellow Calgarian! I’m in south Calgary, and love fishcreek park too!❤

[@hopalongstudio]

It's nice to meet a fellow Calgarian! I love Fish Creek Park, it's definitely one of my favorite places to walk and bike!

[@timbeiter3752]

Nadine, thank you for taking the time to create an entire video in response to my comment on your last background video! You did so much work to show me how you did this super creative and fun looking technique and I greatly appreciate and enjoyed this video! I already saved this video to watch later when I have time to start playing around with making world-building maps!! This is the perfect technique and I loved how detailed you went with the black outlines on your map example! I love your channel and I hope it keeps growing because you really are talented and fun to watch .

Tim, thank you for your kind comment. I was so happy to share this technique. It's such a fun one and I love the making the backgrounds into maps. Thanks for your comment. When I get comments about what you want to see, it often moves things up my list for creating videos! I'm really glad that it was helpful for you and I hope that you have a fantastic time building world maps. I love the details and had to eventually stop adding in so many details! I think I'm done and then it's like "but there's one more spot!" Thanks for watching and commenting and I'm really glad that you're enjoying the videos!

[@user-oj5el1zc7x]

Very different, informative & fun. Thank you

[@hopalongstudio]

You're welcome, I'm glad that you enjoyed it!

[@keener57]

Wow! Love this process. So glad I found your channel.

[@hopalongstudio]

Thank you! I'm so glad that you found my channel and enjoyed the video. Thanks for your kind comment!

[@christinewrightington7098]

This is AMAZING! You have inspired me to try something like this!

[@hopalongstudio]

Thanks! I hope that you give it a try. It's so fun and you can get so many different results from it, especially when you play with different colors!

[@lloydg8273]

Such a fun, messy and playful process. All the outlining in pen really made things pop. I saw your video in my feed and it caught my attention. Now I'm going to have to do some exploring of your other videos. Thanx for sharing.

[@hopalongstudio]

It is a really fun, messy and playful process. If you can embrace the mess of the first step, it leads to so many fun surprises later on. Thanks for watching and commenting and I hope that you enjoy some of my other video content!

[@LoveMariposa]

I absolutely love your creations, and I love this technique I'm going to have to give it a try!

[@hopalongstudio]

Thank you! I hope that you give this a try. There’s something kind of fun about squishing paint under your fingers! Thanks for your lovely comment and for watching!
