You inspire me in the sense that I feel as if I, too, can create beautiful art if I just try. And sometimes this proves to be true. Your channel is a wonderful resource for inspiration, challenges, and of course company. Your voice is soothing and your cinematography and editing simply stunning.

I love watching you tackle the challenges you set out for yourself, your discipline is humbling.

Y'all could try to draw a song. Either you could illustrate the feeling of it by giving it a szenery or you could draw some of the lyrics. It's a really good exercise for creativity and random things that you would not draw anyway.

Oh no, I was about to go to bed and foolishly thought this would relax me.. now I’m just itching to draw 🙈💕 Edit: Okay that ending sequence was just so beautiful and calming... I’m okay now.

You inspired me well over a year ago to tackle drawing buildings. I endeavoured to understand perspective and parallel lines in that time and found myself surprised by the intuition to take over. Scenes that I'd had in my head for years were finally viable on paper for me via bad photocopies of far away places. Architecture had finally became simplified boxes with flourishes. I am making this comment because after watching this miniature documentary, I find myself amazed and emboldened in the same way as before. Your music choice and filmography style make your videos serene, but this one stands out because of the editing and with so much material, your judicious presentation made it a joy to witness. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability in this challenge and documenting it so completely. You truly are an outstanding content creator for the art community.

That is actually a form of mindfulness/meditation. You look intently at something eg. a flower until everything else disappears, you zoom in and it gets larger and that is all there is. The flower. Its only happened to me once or twice as I tend to fall asleep - I think that I must be hypnotising myself! I wake myself up with a snore. No need to be scared - its an ok thing. Sorry that I can't remember the term for it.

I love that you're able to (successfully) work in a number of different styles. It's a real asset for an artist imo, as it encourages real creativity. Nicely done, Minnie! 👍

Okay, I'm going to try to make this quick. You're literally such a talented queen. You deserve so much love and attention. This is my first time seeing a video of yours, but I already love you. Your realistic portraits are stunning and just so awesome! I have no talent, but you inspire me in a way that makes me WANT to pick up a pencil and let my hand just glide across paper. I feel a strike of confidence to continue on in art. Moments after watching this video, I started drawing a random picture with pastels. To be honest, my art turned out much better when I cared and I was confident in myself rather than drawing to try and impress other people. When I say that I mean I drew how I felt was right, but sometimes I get false confidence and I start drawing something far too complex to try and impress others of great talent. At this point, I've written too much. I hope to see much more of you in the future. Xox, Ele

I love it when you do crazy things like this. Your an inspiration.

Ahh I absolutely adore this video. I was so looking forward to it when you mentioned it before and it did not disappoint. I'm so grateful you pushed through (I know how freaking hard that is) because the end result is a very cool video but also those weren't even my sketchbooks and I was so satisfied seeing so many filled pages. Thank you for sharing so much with us!

I hope to see more because I can relate to the struggle, plus it's very calming to me. There is something so enthralling about this video and your experience I can’t wait for the next video.

Your willpower is beyond admirable! I couldn't have the motivation nor energy to draw that much because I'm still too much of a perfectionist when it comes to it.. I should go more carefree and try more bold moves. It's amazing how you've the ability to use sooo many different art styles with all kind of mediums and motives - great content! Your art studio and voice are so calming to me as well

I love the surreal portrait. Its so colorful and fun. This definitely makes me want to attempt filling my sketchbooks within a specific time frame.

That was so calming and beautiful to watch 😭😭 rlly worth the 24 mins even tho I'm watching this at 1:30 in the morning

This is so so helpful and inspiring. I'm really grateful that you took the time to not only do this, but to share your process, your highs and lows, with such honesty. It was a real gift that I needed today. Thank you.

it's so refreshing coming back and watching this video again a few months later... it was super helpful the first time, and still so helpful a second time. and so relaxing to watch. :)

I really admire you. It really inspires me to be more consistent. This was such a beautiful video and I'm looking forward to whatever it is that you make next.

This is so amazing. I’ve recently just watched your 30 ways series over (and over) again with a similar thought - to challenge myself to just draw, paint, create. My problem is knowing where to start, probably because I don’t know where I want to go with my art. I have to say, Minnie, I love listening to the voice overs of your videos; they really take the listener along on your internal monologue of self doubt which evolves into self-expectancy and even, dare I say it, seeing you be with pride at achieving something wonderful in the end. You’re an inspiration. Thank you so much for letting us share this journey with you x

Been really struggling to fall back in love with drawing im doing my art gcse and was stuck in a slump of it feeling like a chore and this video really inspired and help me so thank you ! Your art is beautiful ❤❤❤

Love your honesty. You're an amazing artist and it's nice for others to know you go through struggles and thoughts as well. Also, I love the idea of the loose drawings and cut out finding a home. Thank you for inspiration

Ahhhh!!! MojoJojo!!!! 😍😍😍 And that last landscape was absolutely stunning and the music with it was so hypnotic.

Man, you work so hard... I hope your life is filled with good people, good food, good times and everything you need because you deserve it. Thank you for the videos.

So many fresh ideas, also practical advice and inspiration. Thank you for sharing! x

You are the most unique person. I mostly don't like long videos but somehow always finish watching yours. I adore how you try different styles and materials. And I also love that you show us how you prepare and clean your space. You are huge inspiration

I really like your editing style, it’s engaging and gives the art footage a sort of emotional arc

hi Minnie - This video is really inspiring. What a great way to end the year so that you have a clear vision of what you want to do in the new year! totally awesome!!!!

I love your old 30 Ways, and I've always wanted to see you do it again! So exciting. :D

wow just got this on my reccommended and I am blown away by your skills across different types of art forms. I wish I could draw and paint so beautifully😢

I absolutely LOVE your vids. As an artist, hearing fellow artists talk freely about what moves them, how, and why is so refreshing and inspirational. Your channel is such a pleasure.

I liked how this video was very genuine. It was like a video representation of studio process. Thankyou for the inspiration

there is something so simple and cathartic about your videos. the creativity and good vibes are contagious! thanks for giving us a peek into your process, the messy, the doubts, the triumphs and joy of making art. 🌻🌻🌻

This has got to be one of the most inspiring and motivating videos I’ve ever watched. I loved seeing the entire process, hearing your thoughts, and seeing you create despite fear or doubt. Thank you for making this! It truly is a video I think I’ll come back to.

Funny that you felt this way this week. I just picked up the first sketchbook I started in 1999 and decided that this was the year I would finish it. I didn’t jump into a 48 page week commitment like you but I would love to just complete one this year. Good luck on your journey and can’t wait to see more of what you do.

your work ethic is so inspiring! It takes a strong artist to look a big to-do list dead in the eye and push past initial self-doubt and pure fatigue to accomplish one's goals. kudos!

This was incredible. So glad you pushed through and made it!

this is incredibly inspiring, i love hearing how you overcame the mental barriers that come up when it comes to creating art. thank you 💕

I just love your art! Your relaxing voice to listen makes it even better to watch. So inspiring!

Min, I don't think I can express to you how influential you've been in my artistic journey. Your style, constant reaching for new aspects, and open speaking about the actual work involved has kept me going so much. You've changed the rules for my art, and I'm better for it.

Very inspiring video! Will try to give it a go myself during winter break!

Your landscapes are lovely! Well done in your endeavors and thanks for sharing this!

This video is amazing from the content to the editing. Super inspiring watching you tackle challenges you impose on yourself, seeing you make mistakes, and then watching you work around them and keep going. Incredible!

WOW. Well done not only on the beautiful pieces of art you made but also pushing through the self doubt. You are incredible!

I love your videos you are always a breathe of a fresh calm personality and it’s really inspiring to see you got through the same emotions I do when I create

You're so inspiring Minnie. Your videos push me to find my own art style. I just love how versatile your artworks are. Lots of love. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Thank you for this wonderful video. Your art is stunning, and these sketchbook ideas are great.

This is my first video with you. I’m so happy you showed the difficult moments and your feelings. I’ve had a long 7 years of having PTSD that took my emotions and love of life away and now I’m trying to get my passion for art back that I’ve always had deep down. And it’s really hard when everyone looks so perfect. To hear someone as advanced as you sometimes feels the way I do really pushes me. Thank you ❤️

This is absolutely beautiful. I wish you know how much these videos mean to me, they motivate me, put me on track with myself. The videography style is wonderful! I can truly see how much you're just yourself and it gives off an amazing feeling to the channel. So much love and appreciation, Minnie

Your voice is so soothing I could listen to you talk for years

Your voice is soo soothing and your art is inspiring. Love that you set yourself a challenge. I had a pen in my hand by the 3rd minute drawing sketches on an old notebook.. And I haven't drawn anything in years

I don't draw but want to eventually and your videos really help me focus and think that I can eventually. They are great while I am writing and such. Keep up the great content!

This video is so powerful. I feel that i've been having artist block (as in creating art for my own enjoyment) for the past few years whilst finishing my undergraduate degree and it's so interesting how taking that time out and spending time with the materials really helps you to find your way back to it.

Thank you for your time and teachings Minnie, you are talented and awsome. I hope to learn as much from you as possible. Thumbs up and you've got me subscribed. Fantastic work Minnie!

Thank you! That was very ambitious. I was outlining and had to stop. I appreciate your vulnerability, there is power in being vulnerable.

I'm so excited! Started following you when you first did your 30 ways to fill a sketchbook. I love your work❤️

I'm quite emotional after this video, I'm so moved and inspired. This really gives you the open book of being an artist, I'm accepting the challenge!! We should all accept the challenge and share on the internet what we came up with

This is inspirational! I am still learning to draw and I am in awe at how much control you have over so many art styles and mediums. You art is so incredible. I want to reach your level of skill. Hopefully one day!

You're so talented! Like how? i love your content so much. Your calm demeanor and advice make me feel like I can do everything in art. You're my inspiration.

I'm so happy I found your channel! I fell in love with your art in this video and I think I'll spend the rest of the day binge watching your videos while I paint in my own sketchbook. 😊😆

You are so inspiring! I love everything you put your hand too. I do understand the inner critic though. I am going to make a concerted effort to just pick up and sketch because I keep waiting for the right time and end up putting it off. Thank you so much for another wonderful video. 💕

This inspired me so much, thank you! It also made me realize I need to push myself a little more, and get out of my comfort zone and draw things I never have such as architecture. Cheers!

this was such a fun video! love seeing you tackle these prompts again!! This inspired me to try and finish some sketchbooks of my own ✨💕

the variety of things you did on those journals is mindblowing

I’m really thankful for this video. It reminds me that sketchbooks aren’t supposed to be perfect. That you can make mistakes, try new things, start again, and practice. I tend to be very perfectionistic so I easily lose motivation once something doesn’t quite work out or didn’t turn out how I wanted it to look like. So thank u so so much for giving me motivation and making me have fun while drawing again 💙

It is so cool to see how much you have improved since the beginning of the channel. Love your art and artstyle! Keep drawing, you can do that. And thanks for the sketching ideas!

The best part of this video was watching the the end. It was extremely inspiring to see how different prompts led you to new found motivation and unexpected results.

Watching you drawign pages on your sketchbook always inspire me to do more art! You have such a nice and versatile style ♥

I love your work, Minnie! You inspire me to finish pieces left undone...

I'm procrastinating studying for an art history exam by watching this video but i just needed to say how Inspired this made me feel! I can't wait to get this exam over with, and start filling my old sketchbooks! Your dedication and patience while working on a big project like this very motivating! THANK YOU!

I love that you’re doing this! It’s so fun to watch. Cheering for you!

I'm in awe of the quality and quantity of your work for this challenge. Fantastic job! Those landscapes are stunningly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs. It's so relatable and comforting to know that even an artist of your caliber deals with these issues.

You really inspire me !! Due to the Covid 19 I’ve been really upset for not sitting my 10 hour art exam and weeks went by and felt no motivation to draw or do anything creative. I came across this video and it really helped me hop back into my creative side that I had be brushing aside ❤️❤️🙏 thank you
