the way karina said "is this BLENDER" just took me out i don't think i'll ever recover EDIT: nathan's "the background in my drawing is the color green" was the final KO
The room is actually filled with vampires, but the picture was taken with an old fashioned camera using silver halides so the vampires don't show in the photograph, like how they don't show in silver-backed mirrors.
Every time I rewatch this episode, I find myself wishing they had cams so we can watch the evolution of Karina's face when she says, "Julia, is this BLENDER??!"
Okay so loads of credit to Julia for learning FUCKING BLENDER in 10 hours but can we also big up Nathan for literally getting the style SPOT ON?? Like with the others you can tell it’s inspired, essentially, because there’s lots of elements of their own styles even though it’s still super accurate to the shows style, but Nathan literally just drew a Jojo. Like...that IS Jojo. He literally nailed the style so much.
Nathan’s definitely very skilled at mimicking art styles. I swear he’s the dream employee for any animation studio. He’d literally never draw off model.
Yeah, I really wish julias absolutely perfect blender project was in a different episode, because I have scrolled 40 comments and this is the first appreciating Nathan's amazing art
@@Sn0wSSBM we know. But every single comment besides this one is talking about how amazing it is, and I think that jojo art deserves at least that ratio
Eh, his still uses his kinda minimalist style. By virtue of speeddraw, probably. I look at his and I just feel there's not enough lines. No defined finger joints, and the face and jacket feel... lacking.
Julia: "I tought that the universe should be inscripted into a multiverse, so I started learning some divine powers to create that..." Only perfeccionists truly understand this curse, lol.
Nathan did two characters, Jacob challenged himself by stepping outside his comfort zone with the line work, Karina overcame her past struggles with staying on model, and Julia learned an incredibly hard art program and 3D modeled an entire backdrop including a custom designed rug over ten hours.
Same I actually got weirdly emotional because I notice Nathan can be kinda self depreciating of his art even tho in my opinion his was one of the best JoJo fanarts I have seen in a while. Not an artist myself but I do have other "artistic" hobbies and I know I'm not the best but I know not to hold myself to others standards
@@virtuouswanderer5563 It's been a worrying trend that Nathan self-deprecates on a lot of his art now, even in streams. Sometimes you can hear it in how he says sorry, or in how he points out his mistake and is kinda sad. Maybe it's a combination of being the first to present, being really nice, and also being put as the one who makes the "tame" art so that it slowly ramps up to Julia's art. I just hope that if Nathan sees this that all art is valid and that it's expression, not a competition.
Drawfee: Draw a character Julia: So, there's this room Drawfee: No. A character. Julia: and there's a rug Drawfee: A person. Just one. Please. Julia: and there's several people. Drawfee: . . . . Julia: Let me tell you about the lighting.
I just got frustrated trying to learn how to use blender so I stoped to watch some drawfee to take my mind off it. This was a bad episode to have chosen for that...
The way she says it is like she knows nothing of how blender works, but the way she makes an entire scene and moves it to photoshop screams "I mastered blender after 10 minutes practice"
Jacob: "hey, Julia, I need some help with my background." Julia: "yes, I can help you with Blender, I just learnt it." Jacob: "actually, I just wanted some straight lines and forgot how to do that." Julia: "oh"
Next episode of Drawfee: "Make a gif of your OC" Nathan, Jacob, and Karina: "Look at my 10 second animation I'm really proud of!" Julia: "So I spent 6 months making this 22 episode animated series"
actually i'm pretty sure she would stuggle with that. Karina on the other hand is the one who studies and did animation so she would do something pretty cool, I bet
after building that Cathedral she will than snap a pgoto to draw on then demolish it so she can use the ash to shade the 3rd corner thats just in frame.
Next time on drawfee: Julia- "So I really wanted to put my best foot forward, so I drew a 13 episode anime. It took me 83 days, 14 hours, and 26 minutes. Do you like it?"
RIGHT like I could SEE all the different influences he incorporated from David Productions's art style as well as canonical JoJo influences. It was masterfully done
Everyone talking about Julia’s Julia-ass Blender stunt, but the other three did great! Jacob’s was so dynamic, Nathan’s was so clean, and Karina’s was so on-point for the style! They all did so well!
I think the reason Julia's flex hurts so much is because exactly that: everyone did _amazing._ Nathan's captured the David Productions style exactly, Jacob went and did a full-on manga panel, Karina _stayed on model_ and applied the cel-shading individually. They were all cranked up to 11, but Julia's went up to 15.
@@romxxii right? In any other episode, any of these would have been the best/coolest/most on theme drawing. I honestly love all of these drawings a lot :)
@@TheEtherny I could not figure out Blender when I tried it. I tried following some tutorials but I think I gave up after a couple hours tbh. This video makes me want to try again because I know I’ll find it useful
Yeah. As someone who went to school for CG modeling and animation, I cannot express just how unimaginable and jaw-dropping that was, and for a character challenge as well. All the praise in the world to Julia!
Nathan continuing to cackle at the concept of Jacob going to Julia like “can you show me how to do some straight lines pls” while she’s making t h a t, even as the conversation moved on, it’s so funny and cute to me
@@shawnthomas7548 The show is julia put herself into is about a woman whose job is writing letters and he made the joke that Julia is pushing the envelope.
Yeah, give Julia a challenge, she's going to 1-up the process. You say, "make an OC insert," she'll insert herself as if she's an actual character in whatever medium she wants, complete with a scene. Give her a task for a scene, she'll give a ten second animation. Then it hops to five minutes, then a full thirty minutes, then a full series, or a movie that is one and a half hours.
Julia definitely wins a comedy award for this one because the longer you watch her character video, the funnier it gets to think about Jacob interrupting her process to ask about drawing lines. I was nearly in tears by the time she was working on her final lighting.
Julia's little stick man at about 36:10 is killing me... that incredibly detailed, lovingly rendered background with a little blue stick dude in the corner just smiling like "hey :) i'm here too" is so funny
In school, I had a few months of classes on 3D modeling (partially cause of teacher leaving for a few months cause new baby and partially school screwing my class over cause of switching classes around between the grades) and we used a program called lightwave. Later learned about Blender and it’s so different from everything I was taught and I seriously still have no idea how to mold or move a basic shape.
Tried blender this morning just to make a small table and was having trouble just panning, and with the view depth. I couldn't even begin to imaging how half of what she just did works.
Nathan: I made a Jojo! Jacob: I challenged myself with special manga-style linework! Karina: I challenged myself to match a style! Julia: I taught myself an entirely new digital art program and drew a fully detailed background based on one of the most incredible animation studios and also a character.
When you realize that making 4 fully built characters for a DnD session 0 before your friends have started theirs, just so can be ready for any party composition makes you the Julia of your group
I feel called out. Also one of my proudest moments was making a character backstory that could reasonably slot into any class that was necessary without issue.
Nathan, walking into the office: so I just had a pretty cool idea for the next episode of the show. What if we all draw ourselves as if we were in our favorite anime? Julia, looking up from her hand drawn blueprints of a life sized recreation of the Colosseum that she plans to create using only her hands and a collection of small twigs: oh yeah, sounds good
"Oh dang, Nathan's drawing looks hella rad, he's really outdone himself!" "Oooh, Jacob took a unique approach and pulled it off perfectly, nice!" "Karina's looks clean as heck! And there's a cute lizard pal! What more could you want!" then here comes Julia practically learning an entirely new medium like... man. You are an insane person among insane people, Julia. And not in the way where you circle back to sanity. You're just double insane.
Julia is such a unique treat, and I hope the Julia-ness just gets worse and worse until she produces an entire award-winning series from one of these episode challenges.
I think Karina spoke for all of us when she went “Oh my GOD” when Julia starting designing a whole ass rug pattern for her 3D background for a character challenge.
Julia is like a shonen protagonist. The other guys were like: "Hell yeah, we have trained and overcame our limits" and Julia just pops up and says " *...and this is to go even further beyond!* "
I do believe Julia's portion is the perfect example of something that enduces rage/interest. Karina's groan when Julia started designing the rug is fantastic.
Prompt: Draw an emoji Julia: *_Draws a background_* Jacob: Do you know what an emoji is? Julia: This. *_point_* is my artistic interpretation of an emoji.
I know this episode is mostly remembered for Julia learning Blender (and yes, it blew my mind too) but I really love all 4 drawings in different ways. It's so satisfying to see people create an homage to something they clearly have huge affection for. It's also just a joy to hear them all compliment each other's art and get so genuinely excited - you can tell they're having just as much fun as we are watching each speed draw unfold!
i love the (auto?) chapters on this video. like it completely neglected jacobs entire section but felt the talk on yu-gi-oh was significant enough to warrant its own chapter separate from karinas. beautiful
@@shadenox8164 though, she'd date Kaiba with him being an character and her being real life Karina, if she cóuld. And in her fan fictions/fantasies, she has no problems completely changing his personality to some caring supportive guy swooning over her. So to make an issue out of his age in-universe seems very out of character for hér xD
prompt: self insert oc in anime Nathan: Draw two characters Jacob: Draw a Manga panel Karina: Draw the most accurate to the prompt Julia: being Julia...
Okay so I've been a blender artist since the last 2 years and I must say that Julia's work in blender is absolutely insane. Her modelling technique isn't the most efficient but the fact that she managed to figure out most of the basic stuff and build a whole scene within 10 hours is impressive.
Things I appreciate: - Nathan just pumping out a last minute Jojo and it looks amazing - Jacob's FANG. You know what I'm talking about - Karina's deep Yu Gi Oh shame - Julia taking "speed draw" to mean "learn a whole new program"
2:50 this line made me realize that Joseph literally could just straight up be wearing make up as his beard. that is entirely possible. he's amazing with makeup
More like "So, I know the prompt was to draw a dinosaur... But I was having trouble with the shadows of the prehistoric trees so I built a time machine so I wouldn't have to think so hard about it."
Drawfee crew: *challenged to make a meal to impress a judge* Julia: I made a boysenberry braise pheasant with sage and cilantro, paired with pasta alfredo and filet mignon. Everyone else: *has sandwiches on their plates*
The premise sounds very life or death kinda stakes, so: everyone else: you do realize, not only your life is on the line? Julia: the what now? everyone else: *fucking dies*
Nathan: "I rushed a thing, its 9 minutes!" Jacob: "I did a thing, its also 9 minutes!" Karina: "I drew a thing I draw all the time, it was 8 minutes!" Julia: "I spent 10 hours and learned an entirely new program.. behold.. 10 hours condensed into 12 minutes!"
Julia didn't push the envelope... ...she packed it full of gunpowder, shoved it down the barrel of a cannon and blasted her drawing into another dimension...holy crap it was amazing!
If I could just watch Julia draw like this while her friends are angry at her for not doing the one thing she was meant to do, I would be at peace. This is wonderful
It's cause Jacob asked her if she knew what a rectangle was in the cat video, Julia had to assert her dominance, next she's going to put a set together and just take a picture to draw over
