I'm impressed that you kept going! After the first drip I was like "oh no", then the second one happened.. I would've stopped there! But then you smeared the ink, and still kept going. I would've thrown everything on the floor out of frustration at that point...

Rin: "and here we have the scrawler box sticker" Artsnacks sticker: "am I a joke to you"

The only thing that was going on in my mind was "its a happy accident.." "its a happy accident" "ITS A HAPPY ACCIDENT" And honestly I think it turned out really well. Smudges and mess ups always lead to a better piece, and more knowledge for the future

Youre lucky you have a fall! Over here it’s 90 degrees and then one day drops to 40 for 3 months 🥶

2:38 - 3:35 *the anatomy of a paint marker and how it produces ink by miss.waffles*

Rin: When she smudged the ink with her hand... Me: Cries on the inside.. get the nearest white gel pen as possible!

fun facts: Snakes have special elongated scales on their belly to help them crawl/climb, the scales of a bony fish are made of enamel and dentine and can be detached individually from their skin. Their scales overlap to protect the fish and provides greater flexibility

I love how she starts by sketching but then all OF a sudden I turn around AND IT IS A FRICKIN MASTERPIECE LIKE ARE YOU A WIZARD OF ART🎨

“Well, it’s fall, so Mother Nature took the thermostat and went BRRRRRRRRR” *- Rin 2019*

I want it to be fall- it’s still really hot down here in Kentucky-

Everyone else: Inktober Me, an Intellectual: Crayonuary

I love that they put copics in there!! I’ve never used one of those sketchbooks either but I really want to now 😱 when the ink dropped at the start 😬 nice save!

Nobody: Rin: *sniffs the book* 🤣😂

Rin: “I’m making her more modern” Me: “don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it-” My brain: “*Mod-eusa*”

A summary of this video: "Oh cool! Oh yes! Oh no. OH NO! NO NO NO NO NO! Okay, fine. It's fine."

Me: *loves her sweater and art*

Waffles: Who’s still with me Me: **raises hand awkwardly** Waffles: **high fives** Me:😱

4:39 Rin: “B 0 0” Me: “ok” Rin “or boo!” Me: “AHH”

I haven’t watched through the full video yet but I LOVE RENDR SKETCHBOOKS SO MUCH I got them for Christmas last year and it’s my favourite sketchbook rn EDIT: just finished the video and would like to share some of the things I’ve learned using my sketchbook 1) copic/alcohol based markers work best on it 2) the colours look dark until they dry 3) the bleeding isn’t that bad with copics 4) Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pen don’t bleed under copics if you use them for line art (and I love using the grey one) I hope any of this helps (although you probably figured these out already) but I really hope you revisit the sketchbook because I really love it and hope you do too

Rin: "I'm speechless!" Me: *"Aren't we all at your art?"*

Knock knock. Who’s there? Copic. Copic who? B00!

Is nobody going to say anything about how Rin put a kNeAdaBLe ErASeR on her pencil as a grip ?!? (11:48)

"springy coily dude old dad thing" -Rin 2019

Me: having a good day 😌 *Waffles posts* Me: having a GREAT day!! 😁 Also, she turned out GORGEOUS 💜🙆‍♀️

Rin: Burr Me: *living in the south with 78 degrees as the lowest temp.*

“It kind of smells like candy....” “It feels PREMIUM!” Rin getting excited about sketchbook xD

WE NEED WAFFLES MERCH! Like a purple shirt with the waffles logo in the middle! I need that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rin: Brrrr! It’s so cold Texas: Absolutely not.

"It's finally fall" *Cries in Texas where it hasn't gone below 90 the entire month*

This is so imaginative :) dont worry hun I'm sure the best artists in the world has one of them days. Elaborating off what you said, embrace the mistakes and bring it into the picture, its art, it can be what ever you want it to be :)

I don't know about you, but those are literally the only brushes I use for my painting. I love them so much! They don't shed, they respond really well to pressure, and they keep their shape.

13 seconds ago ... i wanna cry !! Aw, are you sick? Your voice sounds scratchy ... Hope you get well soon, RIn! :D

Nobody: Villagers: hrrm Rin: HRMMM 977 likes?? I’ve only has my comment blow up once before. Thanks!

It’s my birthday today and my parents saw me watching you all the time so they let me go on a shopping spree at art stores! Also cuz I love drawing 😂

My heart skipped a beat with every splotch and smudge. Kudos to you for pushing through and finishing the piece without getting discouraged.

Gotta love that cold weather 😂 Gives me an excuse to stay inside and draw with hot chocolate

Can we all admire how excited Waffle’s gets when making characters? It’s the mark of a true artist!

Everyone’s talking about how hot it is for them and I’m here in Canada where it *_snowed_* a couple days ago

Rin in long sleeved flannel is something I thought I couldn't live without. 😍

This reminded me I have to start my new inktober drawing... :D

Is officially Fall, people. That means Persephone and Hades are back together ❤

I really appreciate that you post videos, not just of the pieces that go really well and come together fairly easily, but ones like this too. I think a lot of artists understand the feeling of suddenly finding yourself in an upwards battle against a piece and I don’t feel like it’s something we get to see very often online. Hearing how you talk through and solve problems and watching you tenaciously keep going and then ending up with a piece that may not be what you envisioned but, that is still great is super inspiring and informative. It’s something that I really love about your channel and I just wanted to say thanks because it’s helped me a lot with my own art

"Mothernature decided to take the thermostat and go *PPPRPRPRHEHWVEERRRRR* *me wheezes in tears*

Every time I’m having a bad day I come here and my day is 100% better Thank you waffles/Rin 🤩

i know i shouldnt have, but i couldnt stop laughing throughout the whole inking part of the video, theres just something so funny and relatable about everything going well but then the ink ruining everything. Ive had that experience so many times, and its better to laugh than cry

not considering that the paper wasn't working as expected, I love the design and would love to see this Medusa more often. It is refreshing to see a Medusa so cheerful and the snake head so expertly done. Great character design!!!

No one: Absolutely no one: Rin: SNIFFS PAPER: OOH SMELLS LIKE CANDY

Wow 💕

Ok now I’m happy I woke up early 💜😂

I teared up when that first drop happened and then actually cried when the second one hit her face I was really loving the sassiness of your Medusa too 😭

Rin: brrrrr Me: maybe this is an old video from winter last year? “checks description” *is confused, then realizes I live in Texas and it never gets cold here*

*Rin--Mother nature decided to just PHRERREEREE* *Me in washington dying* Yep she decided to attack us ;-;

this is awesome

Honestly, despite the ink trying its damnedest to work against you, this is one of my favorite drawings you've ever done. She looks so badass!

I'm so proud of you Rin! You have grown so much and yet you remain one of the sweetest, most humble youtubers I know, also last I checked you were at 1.56M now you are at 1.72M?! That's CRAZY!!!!!

me: oh mY GOD WAFFLES also me: MEDUSA AHHH

Rin: OOOO it smells like CANDY Me: *eating skittles*

Rin: nothing wrong with that she just has a big head Me: bIg bRaIn!!!!!

I love how she's all "I ruined it" and it turns out looking as though everything was 100% intentional

Traditional Medusa turns people into stone. Does your Medusa turn people into Waffles?! :D Please check out drawing vids I make!

Perfect timing as always! I was just scketching and looking for a video to have as my background💜

Serious props to you for keeping relatively calm throughout this- after that second ink smear I would have chucked my sketchbook out the window

I love love love how the big bottom lip evolved into the split tongue! adds soo much to the 'big-headed' personality of this character!

Mother Nature decided to take the thermostat and go “PRRRRRRRRRRETRHTHFJDKFKEMDK” Not in the south, Mother Nature is just “Ehhhhhh no”

no body: NO BODY: Waffles hands:☝👐👆✋👇👉👈✌✊👊👌👎👍👋👏🙌 Edit: calm down ppl i know it have been used but i still find it funny...I DONT THINK THATS WRONG!!!

I wish mother nature did that to Florida -_- I'm still sweating over here.

Rin: Who's with me *highfives camara* Me: *smacks face on screen*

Lovely drawing waffles hehe

Ohhhh, I’ve been using a Rendr sketchbook for all my Inktober drawings this year! I LOVE it!

I love the way you just roll with it and always just go along with what you got

I love her! The skirt design was so creative, and the final pose you went with is super cute. Way to stick with it when things weren't going well, I think it still turned out great!

5:27 “we have the scrawlrbox sticker”

Where I live it's still shorts and T-shirts weather 😂

I'm so glad you showed how you were struggling. SO many people would just edit over or not show it. I like the drawing, Medusa is super cute. And good on you for trying snakes when you've never drawn snakes. Keep on keepin' on!

Render sketchbooks are absolutely perfect! Can’t recommend them enough tbh, they’re so great with copics and inks!

Honestly Medusa is my favorite mythological character. The real story is actually very sad, considering she was raped by posiden and was hunted down like a monster.

I didn’t even realize I was one of the first... I was too busy watching I got a heart from the queen! ❤️

This month's box was to die for. My mom forgot to cancel the subscription she got for my birthday, so inktober was blessed by a surprise artsnacks box!

Your art is so inspiring and wonderful and I love your style. You’ve helped me through a ruff patch in my own art, after the first video of yours I watched I actually wanted to draw again. You also help me find the best art supplies. Thank you😄

I was about to do a digital drawing as you uploaded this❤️💫 Edit:I live in Jamaica 🇯🇲 so we don’t experience fall it’s kinda chilly but not cold

Me: air going through hair Her: whooshiness of the hair Me: SHe SpEAks ThE lANgUagE of tHe GodS !!!!

I LOVE Crescent Rendr sketchbooks!!!! You can use markers, paint, SPRAY PAINT and nothing goes through. The smell is sweet indeed - it's a combination of the cover's material and the portion of the paper sandwiched inside (the bit that keeps it from bleeding). Freakin' amazing.

Honestly, that ink blob is why I scan at every stage of my traditional work. I keep Sketch, lineart and finished coloring files. Its nice if I ever want to take a new stab at a piece.

"Even though she technically has legs" *Clash of Titans silently crying in the corner*

Question: does anyone else randomly talk to themselves while drawing?? 😂 or is it just me?

Even tho you had some problems and smudged some bits, this one is easily my favorite drawing you've done so far!! Love the "flowyness" and the snakes, love theeeeeem!

Thank you for posting this video even if you weren't the happiest with the outcome. It really makes me feel better when I have shortcomings in my art to know that it happens to everyone! So thanks Rin!

Rin: Brrrrr Me: *It's soooooooo hot in my country....at the same cold😂*

“I think Kasey has it or something...” I love it when my favorite you tubers mention each other 😂👌✨

I LOVE watching your creative process. How you talk through your design and how it develops. Inspirational! 😍

Those zen watercolor brushes are a great find. I have 8 or 9 and love them all.

Nobody: DrawingWiffWaffles: * gesticulates wildly* Me: 👏🏼👏🏼

Me Earlier: I dont wanna get upppppp.... Me now: WAFFFLESSSSSSS

Gahhhh I felt for you so much during this drawing . Sometimes despite how well you plan out your drawing and how great you sketch everything out, the final piece can still frustrate you and become a mess. I’m so glad you posted this though.

I’m a new follower. Thank you, Waffles, for inspiring me to grab my sketchbooks more often. Today I also signed up for ArtSnacks after seeing how excited you got over the supplies they sent. 🙂 You’re so talented and so funny - I love your commentary as you sketch. 😂 Thank you again, and please keep inspiring us all through your videos.

Rin: *Voice sounds scratchy* Me: * Have you eaten waffles!!!*

When you said "it feels premium." I honestly heard "it feels creamy" Me: o-0

You have such an (outwardly) chill reaction to everything. I would have rage-quit at the first ink drop haaaaaa. Love the videos and you're style! Medusa looks fab!

I'm so grateful you keep your mistakes in the video and everything... that's the #1 reason I give up n walk away alot n makes me feel like I cant do art at all but seeing someone as good as you making same mistakes I'd make shows me that it can be worked thru n fixed it's not the end of the art
