7:01 “Oh he has one called ‘The Cowboy in Me’… that is progressive.” Literal 10/10 joke by Karina that got no reaction

No one acknowledged Karina's "He has a song called 'The Cowboy in Me'? That is progressive" joke, and that's a crime

Karina: "He's got a song called 'The Cowboy In Me.' That's progressive!" MY S I D E S

"I am trying so hard not to say something weird. So I won't." This is the energy I need right now. Thank you, Karina.

"Caught in my middle morph" definitely sounds like a metaphor for pictures taken of you in your awkward teenage years.

Idea: Julia gets a prompt and draws something. The others do not know the prompt and only see Julia’s drawing. They make drawings based on what they think the prompt was. After everyone has drawn, the prompt is revealed. I call it the “Julia cannot be predicted” challenge

I just realized that the drawfee cast grew up in the 90s and I am shocked. They should do an episode on what they thought their adult selves would look like, based on 90s fashion.

“they probably don’t wear that makeup to Applebee’s” I played Rafiki at a summer camp and I assure you I did not have time to wash off all the makeup before I got home so I sure would wear it to other theatre rehearsals or stores or restaurants. There is video evidence of me practicing a dance in the ensemble of Cinderella in full mandrill makeup.

Julia’s ability to blend those faces was both terrifying and impressive.

The only shame of this episode is that Nathan couldn't contribute, since he always draws such good animals. Otherwise, it's solid gold in all areas.

I accidentally skipped forward a few seconds during the intro so what I got was Jacob saying "Uh-oh, I'm trans!" and then his portrait was a dolphin. Which may be the only example of a joke like that that was actually funny

"Is it wrong to keep dating my boyfriend after he becomes a dolphin?" - in my country there's a legend that tells that pink dolphins can turn into handsome men; they wear white clothes and then seduce women to impregnate them, before leaving and letting the woman alone to raise the child :D

I would sell someone else’s soul if Drawfee did another Animorphs episode with Chris Grine (artist of the Animorphs graphic novels) guest starring.

I want to thank Jacob for the comedic genius that is "I'm Tim Musgraw"

The fact that, canonically, morphing causes excruciating pain somehow makes a lot of sense with these drawings

Julia being the secret daughter of the Animorphs author would explain a lot tbh

“He has one [song] called the cowboy in me… that is progressive” - Karina Farek

Nathan: "Guys, that's actually a Mandrill, and mandrills are technically no longer considered baboons--" Jacob: "Nathan, I stopped listening the SECOND you started talking."

I love how the tagline for The Solution is “A mistake was made. His name is David…” 😂🤣

I've listened to Karina giggle at "he has a song called truck yeah" like 10 times now

I’ll never get over Jacob’s dolphin impression.

I love how simultaneously low effort and high effort the "Is It Wrong to Date a Dolphin in a Dungeon?" image is.

Interesting story about Tim McGraw: when my sister was born before Christmas, she and my folks had to be flown from our military base to Vanderbilt in Nashville due to complications during her birth. She and my parents stayed at the hospital over Christmas away from me, my other sister, and my nana. They were there for some time until she was well enough to come home, a couple weeks at least. However, on Christmas Eve, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill came to the NICU to deliver presents to the children and their families who weren't home for the holiday. My parents met them both, and they were very kind and generous. :')

The swift "this is gonna be problematic for our relationship" JULIA-

When Jacob said the Broadway cast “probably doesn’t wear their makeup out to Applebee’s” …as a former theatre kid, I have bad news

Please draw the character versions of "Who needs em?" "They're just like us!" and "We've all got 'em!".

The fact that Karina said “oh, I get it, because they’re animals… heheheh” under her breath at the end of the episode really just gets to me.

Some notes to answer your questions: In the rat book, they morph into rats to trick a rogue Animorph into morphing a rat while in a trap so that he gets stuck in morph for the rest of his (short) life. The “screaming rats” bit Karina says at the end is in reference to the fact that they leave him on a deserted island and fishermen report hearing screams coming from the island sometimes. He comes back in a later book and begs them to kill him instead. In the caterpillar one, that morph is definitely not advantageous. Cassie does it to prove to a yeerk, one of the parasitic alien villains, that she would rather live as a blind, helpless worm like them than force a living host into slavery. The caterpillar morph acts as a bit of a deus ex machina, as it saves her in the end when she turns into a butterfly and resets the morph counter.

I absolutely love “Denial of God” hidden at the top of Karina’s drawing. Like, yup. That title feels appropriate.

"Don’t take the girl” is actually an incredibly heartbreaking song about a man losing his wife to complications in child birth. But, out of context, just sage advice.

I know I read a few Animorphs books in middle school, I vividly remember the wheeled shelf that the Animorphs books were kept on in my school library, yet I can only kind of remember the prequel about the aliens and the choose-your-own-adventure book where you die constantly. There was a part where you need to chose an animal to turn into so you can sneak into a birthday party, I think, and if you chose the ferret, the crazy old lady next door thinks you’re one of her pets, so she stuffs you in her purse and you slowly suffocate over way too many paragraphs.

I love how Jacob talked about it backwards and thought the muskrat has a Tim McGraw form it transforms into 😂

16:49 "Is that the solution?" Sort of, actually! The Solution is the book where the Animorphs are have to deal with a new recruit who went rogue and betrayed them, and they're forced to permanently trap him in the body of a rat and abandon him on a tiny island while his psychic screams of horror give the island a reputation for being haunted. You know! For kids!

I love how Karina hid “denial of God” in the background of the render with the original faces vaguely in the background

"Is turning into a rat the solution?" It was! That was the one where they tricked David, the evil animorph, into becoming a rat and trapping him on an island where his psychic screams terrified anyone who came near it! I also loved seeing the Everworld cover because I instantly thought "oh that's a Coo-Hatch! They're my boys!"

Them: “I’m done with this, become rat” Animorphs David:

I like Karina’s little “hnnnngggg” sound she makes before she lets out a laugh 😂

i paused this video to take a snak and saw my parants watching a singing compotition and a part of me was like "i cant belive people can actualy enjoy this reality garbage." and then i unpaused to see muskrat megraw be described as the "the best thing they ever made" and i had a moment of real self reflection.

As someone who is viscerally terrified of mandrills... This was truly the most upsetting Drawfee drawing to date

the part i remember the most about animorphs is a part where they go back in time, a trex swallows one and he morphs into something else while in the throat. the book goes out of its way to mention the trex whimpering in pain. really made an impressing on my 8yr old self. also, the telepathic hivemind ants were weird.

"I-Am-Bad-At-Names-And-Faces!" Oh Julia, you just made me feel less alone in this world...

oh man The Solution is probably one of the darkest books in the whole series. for anyone who thinks animorphs is just kids books, there's a ton of body horror, existential dread and war crimes committed by children.

I'm not the only one who feels like Animorphs is that thing that everyone has read but no one talks about, right? I keep seeing it briefly mentioned and brought up everywhere, but this is the first time it's lasted for longer than just a single sentence.

Karina and Julia's laughter when Jacob added the beady little muskrat eyes is possibly the best thing I've ever heard in my life

Ever since karina mentioned she used to do mixed media i’ve been curious to see drawfee do traditional art. Whether it’s speedpaints or just them messing around i would love to see it! Though i also do realize that would mean a whole new filming setup

It’s so cute to see Jacob and Julia joke around about their relationship, since they don’t often mention it on KZfaq

Sugestion: Draw historic famous scientists/inventors as superheroes with powers and design based on their most famous discovery/invention. THANK YOU for amazing content as always!

I feel like Julia drew a star wars character that's also a beauty guru and this is exactly the kind of content that I subscribed for. 10/10

"They probably don't wear the makeup out to Applebee's" Jacob obviously isn't a theater person.... we wear the makeup out to Denny's at 2 in the morning. Obviously.

Can't you guys just go on one break without Jacob becoming a dolphin

Dude the caterpillar book was one of the hardest-hitting books in the series - no joke the part where she turns into the caterpillar is like a sad climax that still kinda chokes me up!

No, Animorphs pioneered the use of computers morphs. Sure, there were earlier covers without them, but they actually created software that would blend between two images, and started using those for later covers. I'm sure they were touched up, but they weren't created from scratch. They even later let people have access to the software. I believe LGR did a video on it.

Drawfee: Haha, it's so funny that this one is called "The Solution" and she turns into a rat on the cover Me, having flashbacks: The... Solution...? You mean the one where they have to decide if they have it in them to cold-bloodedly kill the child soldier who betrayed them before he kills them all and finally manage to trap him permanently in the body of a rat and abandon him on an island? That Solution?

Fun fact: Muskrats are excellent swimmers, thanks to their webbed back feet, laterally flattened tails, and the ability to hold their breath underwater for 15-20 minutes. They can swim backwards and forwards. Also Muskrats procreate underwater (most of the time)

5:20! Julia: I have a faith hill. It's the one my church is on.. Jacob: ..Do you wanna apologize to the viewers? lol

I love how this is an episode where everyone is bound to create something horrible, and out of all the episodes, THIS is the one where Julia actually creates the least disturbing piece out of all of them

Fun fact: I was in middle school with K. A. Applegate's daughter, Julia. The whole family lived in an Italian castle for a year and I was insanely jealous

the scene where they turned into flies on an airplane and one of them got swatted and one of the others was like "do we put his guts back in him?" is forever burned into my psyche

That other series Jacob talks about, Everworld, if it's the one I'm thinking of, has a giant baby whose eyes melt in like the third chapter. It was horrifying.

Jacob: "This book is called 'The Solution', and the cover is just a girl turning into a rat." Me and my Animorphs knowledge: "Oh yeah! That was one of the most messed up books in the series!"

Tim McGraw as a Muskrat would be called Timmusk McGrat.

Throwing it out there again: Y’all should do a round robin of the Portrait of Dorian Gray; one artist does the original pretty man painting, and the others each take a turn building up the age and disfigurement.

They mentioned Don't Take the Girl and I instantly started crying. It's such a sad song!

Let’s sum up the drawings! Jacob : Cartoon gag Karina: Realistically shaded anime drawing Julia: A b s t r a c t A r t .

This prompt simply *must* return. We need another one with ALL FOUR artists. I love and need it.

concept: animorphs telephone one person does each level of the animorph stages but they are only based off of the last phase drawn

I’m trying to pinpoint the quality that Nathanlessness brings to this video... I think the hint of existential dread that’s present in many Drawfee episodes is accentuated by the absence of his chill.

There are celebrities I would show drawfee too, but unrelated episodes to them. Like showing jack black “drawing badly translated Pokémon” . I think he would give a hearty chuckle

Finally, I have an adequate episode suggestion! InspiroBot is an internet AI that generates random "inspirational" quotes and messages. I would LOVE to see the Drawfee crew tackle some of the chaotic nonsense it comes up with. Some gems I've seen include: "We have the power to make our colleagues wish they were somebody else." "In the future, everything will be horrible. So it's okay to believe." "Long shall he live, the student who owns his dinner, but the student who owns his wine must perish." "Behind every farmer stands a burglar." "You can take the word out of the ray of sunshine, but you can't take the ray of sunshine out of the word." "As soon as you forget how to wear him, you forget how to terrify him." "Paying a guy to live like a robot is the definition of traumatizing." They range from being plain absurd, to incredibly ominous to just straight up legit sometimes, but all of them give off such Drawfee energy that I NEED to see you guys interpret them.

16:48 (ME, an Animorphs fan) MY TIME HATH COME Fun fact; that's the one where Rachel (the rat girl) has a crisis due to the war giving her a crippling bloodlust that alienates her from her teammates even when they hypocritically use it in battle, and she is then tempted by a godlike satanic alien to embrace her murderous rage and be granted unimagined power. The grand finale(the "solution" in the title) probably refers to the end where david(a young ex animorph who betrayed and tried to kill the team only to get tricked and forced into a rat form forever) begs rachel to kill him. It ends ambiguously so we never know if she did the deed. Yeah it was a fun book series:)

Jacob: "Let us know if you'd like us to do something like this again" No, I'm good thanks. I have enough nightmare fuel for now.

the fact that y'all talked about funny covers and picked the Solution, among the most terrifying moral experiments of the series....powerful stuff. as a lifelong animorphs fan thank you so much for doing this

Karina mumbling "He has a song called the cowboy in me. That's progressive" nearly had me in tears

Karina’s post edits that have ominous wording will always get me. “Denial of God” is being added on my list now

Fun Animorphs Fact: the extra matter for the Animorphs transformations came from a dimension that was also used for hyperspace travel, so when they transformed into anything smaller than their normal selves, it created a meat balloon in that dimension that had an infinitesimal chance of being hit by space traffic

as a kid i remember always seeing Animorphs books and being mesmerized by the covers. I read a few of them, dont remember the stories being anything special, but the covers were awesome, and they also always had a little flip book in the bottom corner of each page so you could flip through and see the human morph into the animal and back

That book, despite having a funny cover, was one of the darkest books in the series. “The solution” was to trap a boy in the body of a rat and it was implied that they left him on an island of trash on his own for the rest of his life!

I love that Jacob just strolls in with some joke about "The Solution", and has absolutely _no idea_ what the eponymous solution actually was

I almost forgot to make my request for more MTG content. Julia has got to draw Abolisher of Bloodlines sight unseen! It is the back side of Voldaren Pariah (the set has transformations like werewolves that require dual-faced cards). Abolisher of Bloodlines was MADE for Julia to draw- multiple heads, multiple limbs, mouths just all over the place. Trust me, the ultimate reveal will be SO worth it!

Julia's drawing before the color was added reminded me of what you would expect to see in a cyberpunk setting. The character would probably be a street shaman in something like Shadowrun.

This episode is just "oops, all nightmares!!"

no one's mentioned it that i could see, so, i will mention: the kids do turn into cockroaches, and it's their preferred bug morph for sneaking and stuff! they learn VERY early on how some bugs (ants and i think termites?) are VERY VERY BAD TO MORPH INTO because of the hive aspect, because they also have the mind of the animal in there with them when they morph. also ants can and will kill outsiders to the colony, which is bad when you bring an outsider ant morph 😐

Two jokes not getting enough appreciation: "He's got a song called 'The Cowboy in me'? that's progressive. And the "Denial of God" text in the colored version of Karina's art

the energy this episode is so mysterious and threatening. excellent

I love how Katrina is so anti Jacob and Jacob just accepts that this has been his reality for long enough that he doesnt fight it

"The Solution" in question is that the group decides that they need to get rid of David (a sixth human animorph they temporarily added) and they do so by trapping him as a rat and stranding him on an island forever (as opposed to just outright killing him) where his psychic screams of anguish are so intense that passing ships can feel his misery :3 Also oof, the gang discussing bug morphs... we all remember the ant morph and the fly morph, stealth missions were a dangerous game

God, I need an episode where they come up with Isekai titles and draw the covers

Tim McGraw also sang "Humble and Kind" which I chose as the mother-son dance song for my wedding. Mother-in-law still tears up every time she hears it.

"I. AM. BAD. AT. NAMES. AND. FACES". Same Julia, same.

Suggestion: Draw strange Egyptian gods based only on names and description.

Just remembered how the books had a flip book of the morph in the corner next to the page numbers.

Animorphs: has body horror, kids committing actual war crimes and suffering from post traumatic stress Jacob: i schleep Everworld: has a swear words in it Jacob: this is TOO mature for me

Please draw angels based on Old Testament descriptions such as the seraphim, cherubim, and ophanim! I’d love to see how Julia would interpret them.

I took a children's book course at my university, and one of the things I learned was that the author and illustrator generally don't speak to each other. They go through their respective agents so creative differences/arguments are limited. I'm glad Applegate sent presents, at least, lol

Y'all usually make so many anime references that I don't get, but today there was a Hilma af Klint reference and I felt truly seen.

I'm no broadway actor but I have personally gone to applebee's in my crazy theatre makeup after performances (applebee's, chili's, and whataburger were the only restaurants with dining rooms open late enough to do this)

When Julia started talking about Animorphs being a documentary, it reminded me of how I absolutely thought that Animorphs was real as a kid. I though Applegate was a pseudonym and she was actually one of the aliens trying to warn humanity about the evil aliens taking over and that all of the events in the books were real.

Oh no, Julia mentioned the caterpillar one D: That one scared me when I was younger, because that girl was trapped as a caterpillar because she was like put in a glass or something and couldn't change back in time? So she had to live as a caterpillar and turn into a freaking butterfly before she was able to change back to human D:

We've seen emo lyrics, we've seen Steven universe lyrics, we've even seen WAP lyrics. It's high time we see artists draw country lyrics. Also, Don't Take the Girl is actually a pretty song.

I can't express the absolute joy in seeing this video, alongside the horrible nerdy need to explain why Cassie morphed into a caterpillar in the book they were talking about lol
