I just love how you don't try to hide anything I mean just showing us a complete process video of making a planner....I don't think there are many illustrators out there willing to show us that and walk us through the steps .. And yet here you are...just casually being an angel and teaching us everything! I can't even being to explain how much I love you and appreciate your videos.

YESSSS!!!! Exactly my thoughts!💖 Fran is the best!! 😍 Most artists and illustrators are so secretive about such things, they even say not to ask where they get things printed or how the have things made. 😓 It's so weird like they are afraid new artists would steal their buisness?? At least that's the only reason I can think of that they are being so stuck-up. 😅

Hahahha I loved how you were holding hamburguesa's tail and using it like when you use hands to express yourself hahahha. I couldn't stop laughing. And hamburguesa's tail like yeees human I will stroke yer face during your video hahah best part! And I know that feeling when you observe someone and you're just like omg they're the most awesomest looking people in the planet and take stalker pictures of them and then draw them hahaha. Thank you for making me feel not alone in this weirdness!!! hahaha Saludos a hamburguesa, cereal y Ed! cheeers!

Fran Meneses yaaaaas pleaaase! There's no such thing as too many cat videos. #WeWantMoreCerealAndHamburguesa

Honestly when you were talking in the mirror and your cat's tail was flying around I couldn't stop laughing

i love the old man design! he looks like a character that wouldn't talk, but be very expressive with his beard and eyes.

I don't usually comment but I just had to this time! I love all your videos but this one was especially important because seeing you challenge yourself and showing us the result (which you think is not perfect but I think is stunning) despite being embarrassed gives me hope and motivation to do this in my own life. I'm not an artist but I'm a PhD student and its really hard to move projects forward sometimes because even though you are passionate, you get too self conscious to get feedback on drafts or practice writing. I really admire that you are modeling behaviors that encourage people to take risks and keep going even when you're not perfect at whatever it is you are trying to do!

You should ask the cafe if they will post your drawings somewhere! Maybe those people will return, and they can have the amazing experience of recognizing themselves in your sketches. Your variation in line weight is so beautiful with those Prismacolors.

Gosh, this might be my favourite video of yours. Mostly because i know that feeling of HAVING to draw someone on the street because of their awesome looks and aura, and seeing you do this was so exciting and lovely. and you sharing the stuff you're not as proud of, or even embarassed by, is so encouraging and supportive. youtube is full of 'perfect' drawings and the pressure of doing ANYTHNG perfect at the first try is so immense and dammaging. I appreciate your honesty and transparence so much! and the mix of little beautiful shots of your sorroundings and you casually talking is so charming. Oh! and ! I always, always love just watching you draw, you don't have to apologize for letting us sit with you and watch you do that ! it's the best. love xx

stracciatella it makes plenty of sense. And me too!

Watching you drawing while drawing is the Most satisfied thing in the world, Fran. Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved that you showed the sketches you weren't quite proud of, really reminds all the self-conscious artists that even their fave artists are not perfect.

Cada vez que veo un video tuyo me URGE dibujar!

ahh the sound of colored pencils so soothing

When sun doesn't light so well, when the sky is kind of sad, and I'm not really motivated with the world, all this kind of videos, really human and full of love and spontaneity , makes me feel really good and motivated!!

"Turn off the phone and draw what you remember." Right after you finished saying that you didn't have anything to teach us. Even when you don't say anything and you just let us watch you draw, I learn from you. It doesn't have to be an explicit teaching moment. As a teacher though, I do appreciate that teaching takes energy and works better when you are explicit about it, but I learn from you whether you're trying or not.

What fantastic and strange strangers! I adore these characters, maybe you'll use them in some future graphic novels!

what you did with hamburguesas tail is so funny 😂

i used to make my classmates as illustrations just to tease them...but now after watching ur video i think i shall try for more ppl n with some stories[not sure]....but thank you...love ur style...which is very genuine ...n love ur work.. thanks for being with us.

Need to start a support group for us peeps who work from home but spend all day staring at/loving on our beautiful fluff cats. 😻

After watching your videos I always feel way more positive and motivated! You are that type of person who radiates positive energy and spreads it everywhere ! Kisses!

such a fantastic video, I loved how you showed your process! that group of characters was just asking to be drawn. wow.

i am excited for my next trip to a coffee shop. drawing characters might be fun, and honestly it will be a learning process for me! but i am ready to capture the essence of people!

Fran, you are just a role model!

I love how you gesture with Hamburguesa's tail while you're talking that made me laugh

This brings me joy! Thanks Fran ❤️

That squishy fluffball on the chair is adorable.

Its always fun to watch your videos Fran! You really answer so many questions we beginners have in our mind. Thank you so much!!Looking forward to your next update!

I really loved this video, Fran!! :) and it was super cool and interesting to see you using colored pencils!! Really liked all the expressions in ur character drawings.

Omg i hope the planner will be out soon ! it would be so amazing for school ! Thank you fran :D

I was feeling kinda down, and to cheer myself up I watched this video, and now I feel so much better! Your videos are always so soothing :)

fran you are so inspiring and your videos have been helping me a lot!! I love your art 💕

That was so amazing :0 you brought so much life to those drawings! I love it, and I love how you transformed your inspiration.

Your videos are so inspiring! Thank you for being so transparent with your process,it really helps to understand how every awesome thing you make is done.

You are hands down my uttermost favourite youtuber! I love the aesthetics of your videos, your relaxing way of talking to the camera and your cute and funny drawings! You inspire me to get over my laziness and produce art myself, and your tutorials and explanations inspire me to learn new techniches and try out new things and I'm so grateful to you for it!

Loved this video FRAN! One of my favourites by you!

Reaaaly loved it! Thank you Fran! Just enjoying watching you draw!

Yay!! Your videos always spread so much positivity and happiness thank you so much!! I love your art

You are my favorite artist on KZread. Thank you for sharing your whole process! You are so incredibly talented!

I am totally going to get the planner! Everything you make is so cute and nice !!!

I LOVED that you drew with pencils! It looks sooooo good, even the first sketches, honestly!

Fran you're and always will be such an inspiration to me. Every time I want to quit drawing, when I scroll through your Instagram feed or KZread videos, you just ignite that passion in me once again. Thank you for being so sweet, genuine and inspiring to people globally including myself.

OMG IN LUV THAT UR EXPLORING THE PENCILWONDERSSS

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOUR PLANNER, IT'S EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED

I love your videos you are giving me so much inspiration to paint and draw. I have so many art supplies but often don't even know what to paint and I love your style so following along many videos and drawings you do

I had to comment on this video because you are simply the best artist I have ever seen. Your drawings are just beautiful, and you are my artist role model, because I love the way you are so open about this stuff, from planners to old sketchbooks to good ol' marker talks. Thank you so much for these videos and keep up the amazing work.

... oooh fran, this was brilliant! seeing you get inspired is so inspiring in itself, i will definitely be keeping an eye out for interesting characters on the street - top tip for illustrators (or writers) in an "inspiration slump"! your coloured pencil style is beautiful, it makes the drawing more tactile and three-dimensional in a way, gives it more depth, i think you should definitely keep it up if you enjoy it :) xx

I've been watching you since you started your channel and I still get excited when I see you've uploaded a video. They're always so helpful and informative. Youre like the cool art teacher i never had (because i never went to art school lol). Thank you, Fran. You're one of my biggest inspirations.

THE PLANNER VIDEO i'm sooo excited for as I'm planning to make my own planner for school again (for the second and last time) 🎈also soo cool since the first planner was already inspired by your style 🙏🏼✨🌼✨ thank you for everything 🎏

Your ilustration style is GOALS, incredible!! Hope to learn as much as possible in your videos. Thanks

Amazing video, Fran! I totes agree with you about the strangers you saw - they look so interesting and mysterious!

FRAN! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

I love the pencil drawings! They have great texture.

YESSS!!! A planner!! You made my day!

Such a wonderful video! It's so great that you were struck with so much inspiration by the eccentric table next to you, and the drawings are beautiful. I especially like the differing weight/thickness of the outlines and it was so pretty watching how you layered the colors. I am constantly struck by how great of a video maker you are too, because you have so much talent already with illustration and also in presenting yourself on camera, but from a purely cinematic stand point you also have such a great style and make such casual but also visually interesting choices in your videos. I was so glad when I found your content, am so happy to be a patron, and am always excited to see what you do next!

Siempre me alegras el día con tus videos, de alguna manera son muy relajantes. ¡Gracias por compartirlo con nosotros, Fran!

i've been looking for a planner omg i can't wait for yours!!!!

You're so freaking talented! You really captured their essence (at least what I could feel from the photos, I bet their aura was way more palpable in real life!) Just wanted to say thanks for all the tips you provide, you're one of the main reasons I took a short illustration course and am now considering going into 2D animation, but I am very rusty (took a long hiatus from art due to lack of confidence and motivation) so I have lots of practice and catching up to do!

The colouring pencils add such lovely texture to your illustrations Fran! It really suits the majestic-ness of your style! I loved how you said 'rescuing the essence of this person' when trying to create the character. Put so beautifully and makes SO much sense. Can't wait to see your planner too! :D

Gracias por esto señorita Fran su técnica y el proceso me encantaron gracias por estar aquí en youtube❤❤❤

This was such a fun and inspiring video!! 💕Thank you for not hiding the process. It's weird but when I see someone's process and it includes parts they are embarrassed about, I never really judge the sketches they don't like. Like I can see the difference between the first and final sketches, obviously. But I dunno, I just never have a judgmental reaction. Plus, it makes your final pieces more impressive, and when put side by side, you can tell what was most important to you when trying to capture these strangers on paper. It's great to know that for everyone, there's still always trial and error, and everyone feels a little embarrassed sometimes. Cos I feel that way all the time, heh. Also it totally makes me want to go out and draw strangers 😍💕💕

Hi Frannerd ! I think that's one of the most "powerful" video you have filmed so far. I LOVE the use of color pencils ! BEAUTIFUL !

That cat man! Love your illustrations girly!!! LOVE YOU!!!!

SO READY TO GO BROKE AND BUY YOUR PLANNER!! 😍😍 watching u draw with colour pencils is so therapeutic btw

Oh Fran ur so inspiring ♡ lots of love for u!

SO EXCITED FOR YOUR PLANNER

Hi Fran! Your approaches for those character designs were fantastic! Just as you mentioned, you caught the essence of all of them. Obviously translated to your own style, but they look pretty cool, though. I also agree with the idea of sketching different aspects of a character in order to come with various results, and picking what you like the most then. A good tip for those creativity mind blocks we the artists tend to have from time to time is: life is the most amazing and accurate tool we could've expected ever, because it gives us tons of good stuff to work with (people, for example! :D ). So, yup! I know exactly what you're talking about, LOL! XD Well, thanks so much for another interesting journey of your life! And we'll be waiting for more. Have an excellent week! Blessings!!

Seeing your video encourage me to draw again with colour pencils! 💖

I love the old man - he is so CUTE! =) Thank you so much for always encouraging me with your videos. Btw ;-) Love your illustrations! Greetings from Germany

This was so cool to watch! So nice to see you coming out of your comfort zone. I loved the "old man". Certainly my favorite!

This is like the first video i've watched of yours and I'm already in love this was so good

Omg I’m obsessed with your art style

This video makes me wanna draw immediately! Nice to see you use colour pencils too. It's relaxing watching you colour :)

Ahhhhhhhhh I want to buy the planner~ will definitely do when it comes out

Yesss draw with colored pencils more!!! Your drawings look even more alive because of the texture

tus vídeos siempre me transmiten una sensación de tranquilidad que me encanta ~ son muy acogedores y bonitos, muchas gracias por tu contenido 🌻🌸

I totally recommend painting a light wash in watercolour and then playing with colour pencils on top of that. It creates such cool effects ^_^ Awesome character studies, great job!

You made me laugh so hard with Hamburguesa's tail !

Ah this is so pure and beautiful 💖 The place you live in is so beautiful.

I went to a Museum while I was in Moscow last month, and like every time I go outside, I saw so many people I wanted to draw, but I obviously couldn't take a photo of them and most of the time I just had a quick glimpse at them so I had to remember as many details as I could about them, and write it down. It really is more fun to draw people that you see in real life. The emotions are more natural, and you can kind of see their personality shining through their facial expression and the way they act. I wrote all of the details that I remembered about those people, and I can't wait to draw all of them. A few days ago I drew the first girl that I saw, and it was really fun. Great vid, btw. :)

You are so great, Fran. 💖

This video was absolutely lovely fran! Colored pencils are awesome and the textures, gradients you made with them give a new depth to your style. I love it. Seriously! XD Thanks for the advice and keep up the great work. Also. I wouldnt mind seeing more videos like this one :)

your illustrations look so good with pencils

This video is so so cute! I love your cat and the way the drawings look, its nice to see them in colored pencil, a little something different from your usual :)

omg I LOVE this video and your drawings! You inspire me so much

I love how you use color pencils! Please continue, it looks amazing :3

Wait I am so excited for this planner!! mostly because there are so many sucky planners (okay and good ones too, but more rare) in this world, I know yours will be amazing.

I love these! I love this style of drawing, I do lots of coloured pencil drawing and its so interesting using colour for shadow instead of just black and white:)

I'm a total freak of the planners, I usually spend my time all december and january looking for a good one, because usally planeers are very boring and have sad colors and buy one on Internet is a good option but with the chrismas presents mail got very slow on that part of the year so I'M VERY HAPPY to know you're gonna do a planner, I'm sure is gonna be the best planner I've ever have, thank you for the bottom of my heart.

So inspiring, so amazing! Love it

love these drawings! can't wait for the planner :) :) :)

I love it this vídeo😻 you are the best Fran!!! 💖💖🌟🌟

i love this idea and your drawings are so amazing!!!!!

i used to do this a lot! it's a great exercise! you did a great job Fran :)

your drawings are just amazing! I wish i'll have a real style like yours, I'm hypnotizing when you draw and by your talent!

More videos like this please! I love them so much! Btw u are talented!😍
