My art hero is you! you are the one who got me intrested in drawing, and if i couldnt draw ever again i'd be so sad! when i have art block i love watching your videos! you always inspire me!

I love Tasha Tudor also!! ❤ Thank you for the video!

I love Beatrix Potter's illustrations. Many of the drawings in storybooks I read when I was a kid inspired me to do art myself. Love Tasha Tudor & Garth Williams work as well..👍

Your little bird painting is absolutely precious and beautiful❤! How I wish I could draw as good as you do. Thank you for sharing. Helene

Love your unique talent for sketching, as well as teaching. You are a pleasure to learn from.

I loved this video. I’m a big fan of Beatrix potter as well.

I love Beatrix Potter! Her style is so sweet and illustrative-it really matches your style too! This is so incredibly cute thank you for sharing! Love how it turned out!

That turned out adorable. Mission accomplished, I think it fits very well to the style of Beatrix Potter. I liked your insights on realistic art and illustrative art too about the outlines and shadowing. Thanks for the wonderful video!

For even more inspiration: If you don't know her check out "Ruth Koser Michaels". She was a German illustrator and did hundreds of fairy tale illustrations. I absolutely adore her style.

It looks wonderful, Valerie. I love everything Beatrix Potter, so this piece was right up my alley. Mr. Chickadee looks snug and warm and ready for take-off. Curious to see what you’re going to do next.

I think i broke my laptop slamming down the left touch pad button when i saw the title haha. I love Beatrix Potter! She is one of my fave authors of all time and i even did my final art project on her work. I cried when my mam told me one year she was taking me to Windermere in the lake district, UK (luckily a couple of hours where i live) because she knew how much i loved her work, and we went to the Beatrix Potter museum and to the house where she lived. Sorry i got carried away, i get too excited when its something im passionate about. But yes do more in this series!

Awh! I love this video idea! So much fun and so nostalgic!!

Please please please do more “like Beatrix potter” videos! This was so helpful!!

Yes! I love the idea of letting us know which artists have inspired you. I love your work, have followed you for years, and always recommend your channel to my art students ❤

It’s Beautifull because peace is in them,think about it calm Down!

Yea I love Beatrix potter as well. I still really love Peter rabbit. The old one not the new one.

I've always loved the Beatrix Potter stories and illustrations, took a college course about her. Haven't finished the movie yet. I think I'll always be a child at heart.

You are incredibly talented……l have been doing little books for our severely autistic grandson who goes to horse riding….the little book was to teach him all about riding horses and l used your tutorials to teach myself how to draw horses…..the little books were a real success with the class. Now l am doing a book about his two pet rabbits and here you are again! With all the help l need! You are amazing! Thank you!

I love this little chickadee!! He’s so cute! Definitely can say that you are one of the artists I’ve looked up to most. I have a few different artists that I really like and I want to do something similar as you did here and replicate their style if I can. Maybe I’ll learn some new techniques and take something away that helps improve my own art

I love it! I look forward to more of these! I'll just guess one of my favorite artists... Charles Schulz!

You are my biggest inspiration and you’re so amazing at drawing. I’ve been drawing so long and you seem so kind. I wish I could meet you! Also I love how you usually say god bless at the end

Hi Valerie, I love this, what a great idea of a series. I am looking forward to seeing more of your inspirations. You are definitely one of mine. I also am fond of my late mothers art too. As for others, Studio Ghibli for sure, Disney- Tom Bancroft for sure, Beatrix Potter, there are others but their names escape me. I definitely want to try doing this myself as I find there are things I want to work on too that I struggle with. Also my color theory teacher said and made me do the same about not buying black. I haven’t since as it is fun to mix colors but haven’t fully explored it with watercolor but definitely with gauche. Your piece turned out lovely and definitely captured Beatrix Potter’s style into your own.

I love this idea of doing videos about your art heroes!! I also love Beatrix Potter's artwork and stories, so this one is right up my alley. You are also one of my art heroes Val! :)

This is so cute! And so inspirational! I really look forward to more in this series.

Beatrix Potter is an art hero of mine as well. Your art work is sooo beautiful and Chickadee looked so cute snug. Adorable

Tanks for the vidéo! 😘 so cute l know the books!

So stunning!!! 💖💖

Loved this.❤️

This little bird is adorable

Loved seeing the process behind this illustration 💙 You captured the essence of her style really well ! ✨

I love your little bird. He is so cute. You did a great job!

The art turned out gorgeous! My guess for the next artist is Glen Keane.

I love your style. You are my art inspiration. God bless you! Edit: I have a question; do you ever get scared inking your art in because you can't erase? I do!

Precioso!!! ❤❤❤

A very Freddy Krueger ish chickadee haha. Wonderful painting!

Very pretty😃

Very nice 👌

Bob Ross! 😁

N.C. Wyeth is one of my favorites

You are so Good! I’ve subscribed I really want to see more. I’m about to do a month study of B Potter so THANK you for this video!

I learned so much. Thank you. :)

also a guess for a favorite artist! Marc Davis, maybe? or Mary Blair?

Fabulous video - thanks so much

That is gorgeous! 🥰💕

Wow, the brave experiment!

Norman Rockwell

It’s a favorite of mine....a chickadee-dee-dee

My childhood is rushing back!

im your biggest fan

❤😊

Could you try Anton Pieck?

I'm going to ask such a beginner question but the red pencil is there a reason you use red for the first sketch? and is that a special type of red pencil that rubs out easy? Thank you so so much for your videos it's really inspiring me. ❤

my guess Tasha Tudor

I think real art hero is Kęstutis Kasparavičius

I'm a huge Beatrix Potter fan. What kind of pen did you use to ink your drawing?
