note: this was filmed a few weeks ago before toronto's covid restrictions got more strict! apologies for not making that clear in the video. (at the time of filming, you were allowed to see people in your social circle/household without physical distancing, up to 10 people. since i live and work at home alone, my social circle was already small, only a couple people to be exact, so sam was included in that).

OH MY GOD the high school photos I-

I'm fangirling

"You don't need to be the best, you just have to know how to sell it" Amandarachlee 2020

no one: ._. amanda's phone: let's go in circlesssssss~

omg this guy looked so familiar....i thought he was from my Chinese school days or something until my graduated ass realized he's from YSDN when y'all said graphic design lmao

Okay, but like, everyone's talking abt the art and all, but can we just take a minute to appreciate how good amanda's EDITING is?! So inspiring for newer youtubers like me! Love ya, amanda!

I used to be really interested in art in high school but my Asian parents (tbh only my mom) refused to let me sign up for classes and eventually I gave up because of the combination of my mom and my hatred of being compared lol Now I have a stable job as a pharm tech and sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I continued in art. The irony is my mom realized art could be a side hustle and tried to convince me to turn it into a commodity when I haven't been doing it for years because she ripped up my drawings when I was younger. I draw occasionally now but it's only when I have a specific idea i.e. it must have a purpose. It was only when I discovered Amamda's KZfaq channel that I realized I could draw more for fun and it didn't have to be serious. I wouldn't even consider my journal a "bullet journal" - it's just a theme every month that accumulates my favorite songs, moods, and moments in each month. The journey continues! I'm really grateful. Thanks, Amanda! ❤

Sam’s hair glow up since high school is amazing

OH MY GOD I WAS MINDBLOWN WHEN U SAID tHE @SAMDOESARTS WENT TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS AMANDA?? I'VE BEEN ADMIRING YOU BOTH SINCE LIKE AGES AGO AND I THINK THIS IS THE MOST EPIC ARTSY CROSSOVER I'VE SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE-

no one: . amandas phone: your spin me right around baby right round like a record baby right round right roundddd

Amanda dressing up as a pokeball is the cutest thing I've ever seen

Your calligraphy and nature is just too cute and sweet. Your October theme is just killer, I love it.

Am I the only one who thinks that Amanda should have a PODCAST? Petition 💜💜💜💜💜 👇🏻

I am asian as well and when you started the conversation about art as a career and how asian families doubt it, I could relate to you on like a whole other level😭😭😭

oh. my god. I also had an art teacher that had weird art mediums. She was even growing her nails and cutting them at an exact length so she could use them in a "nail" dress. O_O And she was already working on that dress for years, she told us.

I _wheezed_ at Sam's high school hair- This was a really cute collab and the pieces turned out really nice at the end :)

Amanda looks lika character straight outta Sam's works.

i kinda wanna say that artist who does effective work even in minimal execution time can still be a WONDERFUL artist. i don't think its that lazy to try and move people in even minimal effort works, because art is about touching people. so a good powerful word on a wall can be a greater masterpiece than a higly detailed picture of an orange. because it has a meaning.

Amanda: no teeth 😟 Sam: *don’t run from your responsibilities OR I WILL COME FOR YOU*

I was the best of my class in art school, but it became too stressful and I eventually stopped drawing. Even when I didn't follow any of the teacher's instructions they'd still be like (to other students) "that's what you're supposed to do" so I became pretty stubborn about my personal style. When you're not considered talented you have more opportunity to practice and improve.

their friendship is so cute omg

Thank you ! Art has to be one of the more difficult "industries" , "line of work" ; more like making money doing something that one loves in the World. This video was super fun. GREAT CONTENT. Note: 50 years old woman admiring you kids. You are both very accomplished.

This video just took me back to Visual Arts in high school... Those were the best days of my student life, such chill people, such empowerment and lots of chances to try new things 😌 we were all so awkward 😅 good times, thanks for bringing it back! ❤️

I love the relaxed chit chat vibes this video has! I know I’m always in for a fun time when Amanda posts a new video! Such a cute video 🥰

Love the video! I am so curious about the balance of what you want to draw and what people want to see. As in what you would like to draw more. I also have to say you are such an inspiration and you keep me (& started me) bullet journaling through your videos!

You two are great together ( I do mean like professionally) , I hope you do more collaboration videos, it was so nice to hear you talking about stuff, so chill :-) I am most certainly going off now to visit his video and youtube channel. We need more nice stuff like this these months. Thank you so much.

This was such a fun video! I’m so glad you had someone on that wasn’t in your close friend group in high school. I think you both had some wonderful conversation about that!

So we're just going to ignore Sam's glow up? That boy was cute when he was young, but grew up looking like a runway fashion type guy though.

9:41 : "lets draw with our left hands" Me who is lefthanded: pathetic

This is such a wholesome and chill video!!! It's always nice to catch up with friends as adults 😊

I love that you're posting more. Y'all have the cutest friendship. Perfect video to watch after a stressful day at school. Love from Pakistan ❤️❤️

Omggggg I love is his art!!! I just recently found it like a week or two ago on Instagram and it’s freaking amazingggggg!!! when you showed his art I gasped cause I didn’t expect it to be him haha

I've just finished art high school and started college and this video made me miss my highschool experience so much, so sad that my last semester was online...Btw, you are both so talented and inspiring 💕

Awww, this video was so fun to watch! I find collabs the most entertaining due to all the giggles and laughs involved from various things discussed throughout XD ALSO IM JEALOUS, WHERE’S THE ART PROGRAM FOR MY SCHOOL?!

This was great, stories from your past and timeline. Super fun watching you both interact, I am a fan of both of you! Great job!

WHY IS THIS SO RELATABLE, MY ART SCHOOL ALSO DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH DRAMA, WE ALSO ONLY HAVE 3 BOYS, AND EVERYONE IS FRIENDS, but the only thing that's different is my art school is not open to different art styles like they really hate cartoons with their life

Amanda and Sam are like me and my friend.We have very different art styles and she always has a very quick art assignment and she has a “Well if you look at it this way..”And I like drawing characters and spend more time and I don’t like explaining things so I try to make it easy to see the point of my work.She’s my best friend, my life wouldn’t be the same with her.Thanks friend! And thanks Amanda for inspiring me so much!

This looks like a fun video . Wow I can’t you guys get reunite with each other after so long and you guys are artist . This is pretty awesome and I love hearing guys stories it’s pretty interesting. I love you art Sam and Amanda they are really good

I started following him in instagram a few days ago and we you've showed his work I was like...Wait a minute... jajajj You two are really good artists! So inspiring, love the vibes!

Amanda i just realized your almost at 2m followers congrats💜

Aw this video was so wholesome

dis is so cute

sam just nodding the whole time is a mood

I FEEL YOU AMANDA, i love how similar I am to my favorite KZfaqr 😭❤️I draw ANYTHING other than people and I’m lazy and spend less time but I make sure there’s so much meaning behind them AND UR DOODLES ARE MEANINGFUL + GOD AESTHETIC ✨🥺💕 U AINT THE WORST

Amanda Rach Lee is a youtube star who is also an artist and digital content creator. She is one of the most famous social media stars who is loved by everyone for her content.........My inspiration AMANDA!!

This was really fun, loved the high school memories!! Also...Sam was adorable and can't wait to see what you'll look like as an animated character!!👍💖

Omg this was AMAZING💖💙 And yeah I am totally gonna check out Sam’s channel👍💙 Also: can’t wait for cartoon-Amanda to get to life. Gonna be AWESOME and supercute. I think both of you did an incredible job w drawing eachother. And omg your editing skills are just beyond🙌🙌🥰🥰🥰

ive never been so early on a video !! I DROPPED EVERYTHING LITERALLY I was waiting for this video i couldnt wait any longer! :)

uhhh amanda.. YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO 2 MILLION LET'S GOOOOOOO am i a stan for too long or your channel just grows faster than i can grow taller?

Awesome... ...and thanks for introducing your friend. I've already looked at Sam's channel- so great. Way to go (and I'm so happy your family has been supportive).

Honestly I have never seen a more genuine and pure KZfaqr than Amanda! Love ya girl! 💕

Amanda's pain about how her art turned out is EMANATING from her 😂

love you amanda!! you inspired me to start my own youtube channel and I really appreciate you for that! x

First time sam’s voice wasn’t calm

amanda and her friend: *went to high school together* also them: *an artist now* me: *look at my friends* friends: what . me: *nothing*

me: Oooooo amanda uploaded!!! It’s time to procrastinate :p my hw: Yo what the f-

Omg this is so fun!😁 I just watched some of Amanda’s old videos and they inspired me so much with my own channel🥰

I totally feel the being the worst in the class! I went to art college and I was definitely on the bottom tier of the ability tree. I think because of that I never let myself do things that I was capable of because I knew everyone else was better than I was.

I thought he was Rich Brian lmao this was such a nice video! Very chill and informative. Would love to see you collab this way with more people Amanda ! :-)

Been waiting for this video yesss and how did you know you wanted to go to art school and how did your parents react I want to go but not sure 😀🎨

I can relate so much to your experiences in high school art! Plus, we’ve all had that crazy art teacher. It’s like a right of passage lol

This was so fun to watch! I could feel the "catching up" vibes :)

This was fun 😊 really nice Q&A and nice seeing you both drawing

Early!! love your video so much two things i love most Amanda's video and bts💜💜💜💜

I love when KZfaq recommends fellow Toronto artists. I wish I got to go to an arts highschool. Though I probably wouldn’t have taken advantage of my time there cuz I was a childish teenager who didn’t know that she wasn’t going to be a kid forever.

The phone was like "I'm gonna dance 💃 in circle" I like how he was kind we all have teenage pictures we don't want to reveal

my two fav artists together for an artist vs artist session 🥺💛

i love this video! great stories u guys shared

This is the artist "Sam Yang" like l couldn't believe. I watch his art every time on Pinterest and l had a tons of his art pictures saved in my Pinterest board 😍. I'm really inspired by your art. Really love your art works
