You were not kidding about "secrets revealed"- this is nothing short of a roadmap for making artwork in series! This method could apply to any artist creating a suite of thematically related works of art, in any scale. One of the reasons we love this channel so much is that it shows artists as serious, sophisticated professionals engaged in challenging work, using organization, planning, and specialist skill. Making art does make us smarter, better people!

This must have taken so long to film and edit, the quality is incredible 😍

if you made this into a book, with the poetry pairing each picture, that would be really cool to have 💕

What I wanted to tell you long ago: I started painting again because of you after almost 3 decades. (I thought I would have to concentrate a bit, I am a musician and a writer, both successful, but also time-consuming). Painting I missed so much over the years, a part of me missed it so infinitely, I was incomplete, but I did not want to admit it. Why, actually? I don't know. Then I discovered your videos this summer and knew: Eva, get out your paints (everything dried up, but by now I have enough to buy new what I need) and get going. Now I'm technically back where I left off so long ago, but with the perspective of a woman who has experienced life. The right time to get back into it. I am doing so much better! Thank you for your inspiration and zest for life. You were sent by an angel.

1000000000% inspired, the incredible Jess Karp does it again, thank you for taking us along the journey in such a magnificent beautiful captivating way. Congratulations on pulling off yet another epic art challenge, you really knocked this one out of the park, video and art combined. BRAVO!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

People doing Vlogmas had NOTHING on this, Jess! WOW. I am in awe of your mind, your art, your expressions of the world around you. You've been my biggest art inspiration in 2022 (I found you this year)! I was locked in an "oil painting box" and now, I use a different medium every time I "art", and i freaking love it! The amount of effort this must've taken. The amount of self discipline!!!! HOW!?!? I'm shooketh in the best, most inspired way. THANK YOU JESS! you're truly a diamond of a human being. Sending all of the love, art inspo, and happiness your way!

I must say as one of my favourite YT artists you never cease to amaze me like WOW, that brain of yours is something else and going into 2023 you've inspired me to tap into my creative side more. Tysm Ms. Karp💙🦋

The layers the thought the detail. Just amazing jessiwessi

You never cease to amaze me. You're continual dedication to putting out positivity in the world through art is so inspirational.

Every letter is so fascinating with the various things making it up because you've connected each word to represent the letter beautifully! I always loved your illustration series since the fruit faces and I'm excited to see more of it as years go by. You are such an inspiration Jess! ❣❣

*JESS* You are one of the only artists on the whole of KZfaq that is competent in more than 1 or 2 mediums. Very often someone will call themselves a pencil artist, or a watercolour artist, or an alcohol marker illustrator, but you use them all, from drawing with pencil, pens, inks, to painting with watercolour, gouache, acrylics, inks, and then you can also use pencils and markers. You are a truly amazing artist. Your ideas, skills, and abilities are amazing and I love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your awesome skills with us lesser mortals. 😊

Im seriously so impressed, there wasn't a single letter that dropped the ball here. Really exciting to see so many different styles and mediums and you leaned into their strengths so well. I'm a doodler and digital artist but this video has me itching to maybe try something like water color for the first time. my favorite one of this video was H with the inking and water color on top :) Thanks for the inspiration!

These turned out amazing! I bet these would be a great way to display the alphabet in a classroom!

This is amazing!! I felt like I was watching a movie. So inspiring. 😍

It feels like a mini documentary of this project. Your editing and camera work is as amazing as your art! Wow!

Thank you for sharing so much of your process. I think we all fantasize about having our own versions of your concept books and beautiful sketchbooks, but our timeframes are much more extended without similar training and professional practice; it takes much practice to find your hand with different materials. I find some things much where I left off, others needing innovation to use materials that I want to explore.

You inspire me so much. Thank you for your passion that you share with such enthusiasm. Because of you, I picked up my pencil for the first time in a decade. I feel like the little girl I was that just loved art. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. 😊

Hey Jess, I've been hooked on your videos ever since I watched your 100 heads challenge video. Your seemingly endless creativity, ability to portray emotions and ideas, and constant exploration and experimentation is so incredibly inspiring. I've been drawing and painting for 10 years but never have I come across such an absolutely, amazingly skilled and creative artist! I quite literally can't get enough of your art. Every time you upload, you manage to amaze and inspire me over and over again. I'm sure you've heard all this praise, I just had to add to it too I have one request. I know you're incredibly busy with projects, but if you're ever looking for something new to sell, consider an art book. A book of all the wonder and beauty that makes Jess's art. A singular place for someone to find inspiration. I'd love for something like that and I'm sure many others would too since your sketchbook tour videos are very popular. Thanks for inspiring us and keep creating! ❤️

Your color schemes are seriously unreal. Idk if you already have vids on how you approach/discern/decide color palettes but I would freakn LOVE to see that

I sure hope you put this into a children’s learn the A, B, C’s book! How fun to learn your letters AND see art. What fun that would be.

Congratulations on completing this huge project! What an incredible inspiration you are. Thanks for sharing your process. I always learn so much from you. I love that you used a variety of concepts and mediums, making each piece so unique.

I am so glad you didn't ask us to pick a favorite! Happy new year, and thank you for your videos. They keep me grounded.

How can I put into words that make sense, how emotional I became as I watched this. Every bit of energy that you poured into these letters was absolutely joyful to watch. The colors, the Metallic gold accents, the original characters.... all of it touched my Watercolor loving soul! I would love to get prints of them... I'd love to gift one for my 3 children... each with the 1st letter of their names! A, S and N.... ohhh I can't wait Jess. Thank You for making me tear up and smile so warmly in 2023!

I love this idea! The L maybe my favorite one because it reminds me of the lion King. This is such a good concept idea for artists who don't know where to start.

Holy cow, Jess! Your creativity knows no bounds! Incredible!

This has to be the most marvelous video ive ever seen! Each letter illustration is absolutely amazing and whimsical and soothing. Incredible work, Jess 💛💛

Your art and videos always spark so much emotion in me. I started an anxiety medication recently that stabilizes my emotions. I struggle to just let go and cry. This increases my gratitude when someone actually moves me to tears. Thank you for bringing that part of me out. It makes me feel like me again. 💗

You can make an artbook for kids. I'm in my 30's and will surely buy one! This is so beautitul! Well done!

I just wanna take a moment to comment how much I loved this video !!! I loved that you showed us all the parts of your process and how beautiful all the letters turned out !! The challenge idea, the videography, the editing everything about this video was so calming and peaceful to watch ! I LOVED IT 💛

Im really exited for this new video jess! The year flew by so fast!

Thanks to you I experienced and tested the wonderfulness of Mixed Media Paintings! Thanks Jess! What a wonderful, Colorful and enjoyable ride thru Art and the ABC

Glorious! The concepts behind the letters are glorious. The “H” was so surprising and delightful it made my heart leap!

Creative minds produce such beautiful creations....this vid enlightened me...u are a true artist

All the letters are so beautifully made. I love the efforts you have put in. You are so talented. You will go places.👍❣️❤️❣️

Dear Jess, you literally blew my mind. I have been an illustrator for many years, but then I was diagnosed with MS, and my hands failed me. I can`t draw anymore which, for me, is worse than having to use a wheelchair. But in my heart, I will always be an illustrator :))) This was the first time that I've watched your creations. More than once, this video triggered my deepest emotions. When you were sharing your thoughts, it was as if I was listening to myself :) You literally made me cry... Everything you do from filming, contemplating, choosing the right music, environment, and lighting, presenting your thoughts, speaking in your soft voice, your different choices of media, and of course your realization of your ideas, and even your looks are pure perfection. And when you finished the Alphabet with the letter Zet and decided to go with ZEN I got goosebumps when you said: "I channeled my inner child." My little grandson`s name is Zen :) It was a privilege to join you on this journey. Excuse my imperfect English. I hope my comment makes any sense, should you read it. Sending love, hugs, and greetings from sunny Slovenia💛🧡❤

Such a fun and inspirational challenge. They all came out so beautiful and really love B, H and there are just too many.

i love your art jess!!!! ( G was my favourite! so beautiful!! i love the colour palette!!)

WoW some real inspiration to artists! :) Love your editing style!

Again, the Videography is incredible, C is probably my favorite! And as this is the 30th of December, happy new year! My you glide through your troubles with ease and may the year have few and far in between! May your creativity continue to bring you joy and fulfillment through your art, and we hope that you will continue to share them with us! ❤❤

This is the most incredible art video I've seen so far. There's so much meaning to it and I am sooo inspired❤

Jess these are beautiful, whenever I watch your videos I feel so inspired, every composition of yours tells a story and it is a privilege to see the creative process behind each one of these, on a personal note I must say that watching you doing the videos of drawing from real life in a coffee shop or on the street, has really helped me overcome my social anxiety when trying to do the same so thank you you are great 💕

Seu trabalho está incrível, Jess! Sou seu inscrito a muito tempo, mesmo meu inglês sendo ruim eu consigo entender o que você fala. Seus vídeos são muitos relaxantes, dá para perceber o quanto você se esforça para fazê-los. Parabéns!

Woohoo! I was eagerly waiting for this series. Every letter is fantastic. You know what I am more impressed with your pre planning for each letter. I mean amazing, I also made thumbnails before making any of my artwork but you made the whole planning. This video of yours inspired me allot to make extra efforts on pre-planning. Thanks Jess! Lots of love and happiness to you ❤️

Totally awesome! Was so looking forward to this. Amazing!!

I love how you take the viewers through your process and idea development. I struggle to teach this to my students and I plan on showing them this video! Thank you!!

I’m a latecomer to your channel, but have spent all day exploring your videos and my mind is blown. Your creativity is outstanding. I stare at a blank page not knowing what to do.

I feel like the King of Kindness, the Queen of Quality, and the Princess of Patience could all be one family. It sounds like a very noble Kingdom with a very caring Royal Family that could really give a lot to its subjects.

I am in awe! The brainstorming, the artwork, the voice over, the film. Wonderful!

You are such a powerful individual- your videos never cease to amaze and inspire me. Not just creatively, but emotionally and spiritually as well.
