Haha I love these. The “zebra plant” looks a lot like a snake plant which might be what you were goin for. The smaller zebra plant is a succulent while the bigger one is a leafy houseplant, two completely different things. Loved how this turned out tho :D the little gardener person is so cuteee

waffles, a tip for the white spaces showing through the painting is going over your canvas before you paint with a Watered down color of your choice! (I usually use raw umber, but any color works!) XP

@@drawingwiffwaffles Most Welsome. I just wanna say that I was always a landscape artist and painted/drew nature-y things , mostly plants and maybe a few birds nd fish, maybe some still art- but never other animals or humans - ever. And for the longest time I just thought I was bad at illustration and portraits without having tried any, But your channel was a game changer. It always feels like we are on a ride inside your creative brain during each video and I got to understand the process and see why people were interested in character design and stuff. It actually made me want to try character design and I loved it and quickly progressed to portraits of pets and now I am attempting the first human portrait ever. I also didnt use acrylics. I would use watercolours, oil past5els, charcoal, pencil colours and oil paints but not acrylics. And I tried them out for the pet portraits after watching you dabble and I actually like them. Soo thanks! Please please make more acrylic paint videos.

when i used to do a lot of painting, i would always avoid black as much as possible for darkening colors ! it just deadens and desaturates the hell out of everything usually. i found i got much more lively and fun results if i used like a dark red or purple or blue

am i the only one amazed by how well and easily rin can draw like she doesnt really need to think about what shape goes where it just goes to her and she sketches things out so freely its so cool to watch

Hi Rin, I'm new to your channel and I just wanted to say you're an inspiration to me as a new artist. I was super intimidated by how much I needed to learn and scared that I'd never be good enough but drawing along with you really made art less scary and more fun and I've learned a lot from watching the way you approach art an creativity. Thanks for the bonus video, enjoy the rest of your week and may *you* have a delicious evening full of waffles!

Me too! I've been watching Rin for YEARS!!! I too had lost my love for art and creativity to the busy-ness of life. But Rin's videos put that love and passion back in me and I have started purchasing and building up my art supplies. I've been doing art a few days a week and I've improved sooooooo much recently all because I found Rin and she put that drive back in me!

I like your painting videos a lot, I like that you show that you can just try things and play and learn. Priming the canvas could smooth out the texture and prevent those white dots where the paint isn't in the divets. Thinner paints sink into texture more as well.

Half way in and my mind is focused on the name of the plant… how about Petra Potty-Plant? Love it! And the women could be an old-school herbal-healer-witchcraft medic in the middle of the city who owns a garden on a rooftop

the gardener lady is one of my fave illustrations you've ever made.

Great video as always! Not sure if anyone has answered your question about the boxes on the paint tubes, but here's a run-down: filled in box - opaque, half filled in box - semi opaque, and empty box is transparent. Royal Talens (the parent company that makes those paints you got) has a special semi-transparent symbol of the line in an empty box. It just basically means it's a little less transparent than a pain that's fully transparent. :)

So excited to see another video! I always feel more motivated to draw after watching!💜💜

the crab from the other page in the sketchbook is really doing it for me

As someone who has over 200 plants I found it absolutely adorable when you said the zebra aloe was a baby of tropical zebra plant. And then was like unless it’s a completely different plant. Which it is but it was cute and I could totally see how many ppl could think that.

I took two semesters of painting at a community college, and the only thing the teacher would tell us is that we should paint and would learn as we did. There were no lessons about techniques or products (though we only used acrylic) even mixing colors. It was all about composition and ideas. I came out with an A in both classes and zero education in painting. I learned more about using acrylic paint from this video than I did in two semesters of that class. Honestly I learned more in the part where you painted your sketch, while swatching than I did in that class. I am so glad that people now have artists like you who are willing to teach, becasue not all teachers are willing to do it.

Plants are amazing to paint, just the idea of nature is calming 🥰

I always start with really transparent colors then make it more opaque as I go. Makes the process for me easier. I would love these acrylic paints!

tips for acrilic.. use a diluyent or water.. that helps to have more control over the paint and helps to cover the white texture. If the paint isn't opaque enough, start with the light colors. Block the colors first (like cell-shading), when you have all the colors you can start blending if you want and rendering things You would enjoy it more this way, take your time.. paint is something to relax haha Your last approach is the right approach. Watch the video again and look how calmed and slow you did the girl and how caotic and fast you did the plant

When I first started following you, you were nowhere near the amount of followers you have now, and you were getting about 16-20k views per video. You have really grown and I am so happy for you!

The transparency is a property of acrylics. My professors taught me to work dark to light with acrylics because dark colors tend to be the most transparent, and you can increase the opacity of a color by tinting with a touch of white.

Yay a new rin vid! I was just struggling with trying to work with a new art program on my tablet and you saved me waffles haha :'D 💖💖🍓
