Ah yes. Very aggressive.

I could see this character practicing her ballet while studying. Having books balanced on both her head and the tip of one of her ballet shoes. With a doughnut or waffle stuck in her mouth as she searches for something or even continues reading a different book.

That tangent was really important for those of us who paint in poverty and draw in destitution. I can't afford to ball on a budget. But knowing that it makes more sense to get the markers new is extremely helpful.

If you listen carefully though, she said the cost of THREE brush nibs is the cost of one marker. And she is able to bring a marker back to life. So she would have to compare the cost of how much she saved per marker, if those are the colors she actually uses, how often she really has to replace the nibs. Sometimes just purchasing 2-4 colors that you personally would use is more cost effective than a whole set of 12 used from someone that abused them but you only use 3 of those colors that you then have to replace the nibs and refill them.

I love it when you tell us the background story of your characters! They seem so real 🥰

The one from last year really wasn’t so bad - the hair looks a little darker and there is more white in general but it doesn’t stand out as very different to the others, at least not to me and you can easily see they are a series. Don’t be so hard on yourself!

It feels like I'm watching my best mate draw and we're having a conversation. Love the pep-talks, and the art. Thanks for keeping us company all these years!

Don't ask me why but when I saw this character, I imagined this whole storyline where she was a super smart history major who used her knowledge of her hometown's history to solve local historical mysteries connected to the supernatural, with thebhelp of her college friends. As an adult, she's working at the archives, and she's sneaking on her boss's back to continue her private research. Maybe her best friend is a medium and they use their respective talents to conduct investigations together. Honestly I'd read that as a webcomic lmao.

I won't deny that. Honestly my brain really likes to create stories out of thin air sometimes.

I like it when artists have an oopsie moment then brainstorm how to fix it without trashing the whole thing and starting over. I love watching you draw and your commentary.

This character needs a name. I absolutely love her and seeing how she evolves from year to year!

Rin, needs to consider collaborating with a manufacturer and mass producing her bullet journal cover designs. Seriously! I always want one!

It amazes me when sometimes you forget just how long you've been watching a person...and then they come out with videos like these... You just sit back and just reminisce about just how you've been a long for the ride and watching this journey take place along with picking up a few lessons and tips for your own journey.... Thank you for many years... And Here's to many more years🥂🥂

I really really wish that there was a way to know that you are OK instead of just waiting for months praying and not knowing anything 😢 I have loved watching all of these bullet journals and everything else you do my favorite is watching you do what you ❤️ with beautiful girls but I love every thing that you have made there's not one video that I haven't enjoyed emencely ❤❤❤

this vid made me realise how long I've been following you for 😭💚 it's been so many years, and i finally got my own alcohol markers last week!!!! Everything I've learned I'm putting to the test, and it has given me such an edge on the beginning time of learning art!!!! thank you Rin 🐸 this year's cover is AMAZING!!!

Your original 2018 bullet journal was the first video I ever saw from you ☺️ thank you for sticking with it & sharing your work & creativity for all these years 🥰

ive been watching you for YEARSSSS and your the person who got me into drawling and i love you so much

“i mean, **scoffs** look at the low rise jeans from 2018!” classic rin, keepin up with the trends

I think the main reason I’m still here watching your videos after all these years is because of what you said and the end of the video: your channel isn’t about showcasing perfection. And it takes a lot of courage. As an artist myself, I don’t think I’ll ever have the courage to post or show something that I’m not proud of! This is why I love watching you, you’re showing us the *real* artist, with highs and lows 🌻 P.S. I love the excitement in this video!

I loved the laying down on books idea, and the tired subway (not the restaurant 😉) idea! I NEED to see them combined if you love the idea 🥺 maybe she's so tired from reading, she fell asleep and spilled her coffee down her books ?? Idk, a cute little matching jammie set with bunny slippers would be soooo cute

Man I love your positive vibes so much! Every video is pure joy to watch you draw, and coupled with supportive talks about art. *Chefs kiss*

I’d love to see the character next year dancing around with book in hand, of course with books around her to keep the theme!

I love the way you draw, as if even a light stroke of a pencil can turn into the most beautiful thing in the world. It makes it look magical, even the simple way the face looks. It's always after you finish drawing a character that I myself can picture a story for her life, as somebody who writes books it's fun to imagine a story for different people I see. Either it's random people on the street, or others drawings.

honestly you are literally the artist who pushed me to draw. i love ur art and i ve been watching u like for almost 5 years now. you are such an inspiration. i was able to improve because of u in those years and i m hoping to reach ur level one day.

ahh i cant believe ive been here to see all of these covers 😭 they're so precious, really looking forward to her becoming an OC with a story ❤

This character is absolutely adorable! I'm glad you've stuck with her through all these years. And happy for you for managing to create something you're proud of this time. That's the best feeling! I have never drawn on the cover of a bullet journal, and I don't think I will anytime soon, but I can imagine that's quite nerve-wrecking. You're so brave!

I really enjoy looking at all the journals, and I’m happy we got to talk a little more about her personality, since the covers now look like photos of her through the years! And how to clothes has changed shows how she grows and styles her life! 🫧

You know what?? Low rise jeans are taking over high rise ones! Its actually coming back in style

I have been watching your videos since late 2016, after I graduated from college and moved away from my artist friends. I was feeling so isolated and alone, but finding your videos where you spoke about these characters you'd created and shared their backstories with us... it really made me feel like I was just hanging out with my friend. All these years later, I still cling to some of these annual videos like a lifeline. My partner has been getting into art lately and wanted to learn more about markers. He watched multiple marker reviews (that I suggested, of course) and now he is trying to find artists that draw some more fantasy type illustrations, but keeps referring to your videos in the search. Thank you for all of the work that you do and all of these years of sharing your art with us.

No one can inspire me to to draw and make art like you do. And than means a lot because this last year or so I haven’t done any art because I’ve been mentally unwell. This is bringing me back to something I love so much. Thank ypu

That came out gorgeously! I love the huge glasses you put on her and the cute pink dress. That was my favourite of your journals so far. Nicely done Waffles! God bless you and those you love. Have a great day!

This reminds me of how that first bullet journal cover video was the way I discovered your channel😭 That day inspired me to pick up drawing again after years of not touching a pen nor pencil to paper. I've been through so much over the course of that time and it was ALWAYS art that kept me grounded, it gave me the drive I needed to keep going and living. I cannot thank you enough for continuing to inspire me to sketch all this time, I don't know where I'd be today if that hadn't happened. Thank you, Rin. Wishing you well and all the happiness in the world🙏🏻❤

It looks great Rin! I'm so glad you continue to upload art even when you're not entirely happy with the end result! You still bring joy to all your fans and we love to see the ups and downs! Hope you're doing well 💕

I come back here every year just to watch u draw on your bullet journal

I love you art! You’re so inspiring to me and my art channel! You help me to step outside my comfort zone and keep trying and creating new things!!! Always love your sketchbook covers!! 😊

I don't often comment on your videos, but I've been watching for a long time and your mindset about art has made me more positive about my own art. Like it being okay if you don't draw something great every time, or just being willing to take risks (like having a really good drawing and then adding on to it coz maybe it'll make it better! or maybe it'll be worse but you gotta try!!), or just having a mentality of art as a journey. Idk, your videos have just been a really big part of that journey for me and I appreciate you for putting yourself and your art out there like this.

I’ve been suffering *intense* art block for the last couple of days, and this cured it! Thanks a lot Waffles!

I cannot explain how happy and grateful I am that you've continued your channel for so many years, you've inspired me so many times and to even now continue doing art as a career!

Oh, I love this so much!!!!! You did it perfectly! And I love the idea of the recurring character, I love waiting for this every year, I remember watching you make the first one and then when you did the second one I was SO excited 🥰

I just love your bullet journal videos! All the little doodads and other gorgeous nonsense that comes in the Zenpop boxes are perfect for journalling 🥰 I love adding little note pages, washi tape, I also glue in used envelopes backwards so I can use them for storage 😊 I LOVE the colour palette from your bullet journalling videos and will add it to my Waffles Palette page 🤩 Thank you for in the inspo always 🎨💜🌟💜🎨

It's so PRETTY! I always love watching you do these bullet journal covers, it feels almost nostalgic to me since the first one you did was one of the first of your videos I ever watched! I'm so happy you're carrying on the tradition!

Love you rin!!! Been watching for about 3 years now and your my biggest inspiration when it comes to art, I watch you and I suddenly have my sketchbook infront of me. Thank you for sharing your art with us! It just makes my day when I see you posted a new video.💜💜

Rin you make me so happy!! I really get inspired by you. And I love your style I’ve been watching you for a few years now so I basically grew up with you, I want to thank you so much for giving me peace while watching your videos ❤️🫶

totally need a full drawing of the subway idea!! such a cute concept it makes me want to go dig up my sketchbook!!

Omg i was there for the last bullet journal cover and now this🥺 all of them look so pretty and now i think i should stop abandoning my bullet journal haha, you literally inspire me in every way possible haha 🥺💖💖

We appreciate you Rin! You are truly an amazing person and artist! ❤️

I just wanted to say that you bring me joy with every video of yours! I follow you like a year or so and I binged watched all your videos because I had a hard time. Every video made me happier and every day you post a video is a good day. I‘m having a really hard time again, but even after a year your videos still help me. I just wanted to tell you how amazing you are and what a huge impact you have ❤️

Watching your yearly videos is so fun {like this one, and rupunzel]. Love the new bujo cover.

I can't describe how much joy it brings to me how you reacted to your finished cover this time around 😭😭😭 hearing you happy is a serotonin boost

Each year is perfection! I love how creative you are in the fact that you’ve redrawn the same character four times, and she still looks fresh in each drawing! So cool

I think all the covers are wonderful...thanks for sharing!!

I love how this came out. I am so glad you posted today I was up most of the night looking for something to make me smile. I love the background story of your characters .
