Drawing Animals Based On Their Skulls 

"Is this an animal that's alive today?" "It's hard to be alive when your skull is out." Julia, I love you.

Julia really said "bugs have skulls. That's why they're so crunchy" and nobody even acknoledged it.

karina's "and then what's this?? what's this, julia???" was a mix of anger, confusion, and fear, and i love it.

Karina: "Ohhh. THIS isn't the eyes." Me: "Yes!" Karina: "THESE are the eyes." Me: "NO!"

Fun fact: an actor from old London donated his skull to the theater for hamlet productions. Eventually people forgot it was real and it ended up being used for like 140 years before being rediscovered as a human skull and retired from the longest acting career in theatre

"It's hard to be alive when your skull is out" immediately followed by "I think horses are still around" was like a double punch to the gut

“The Bone Game” sounds like a subpar horror movie.

“Is it a horse?” If horse had those carnivore teeth, I would have nightmares ab them :D

sudden realization that bad fossil reconstruction is a fantastic way to make fictional monsters

So I was in my office playing with a staple remover when I had the thought: “hey this looks like teeth” followed immediately by “hey what if drawfee did the bone game pt 2 where they pretended every day objects were skulls and designed creatures based on that” so yeah I would love to see what your take on a staple remover creature would be

As a biologist, I love this. Its amazing how close this is to what people first do when a new fossil is found, and yes, its possible we are just as wrong on some of them.

Julia saying "visions of Garfield," and then immediately being razzed by everybody as they struggle to see how she saw that is peak Drawfee, and a beautiful thing to behold.

Fun fact: Karina's initial read of the elephant's nostril cavity as an eye socket is actually the exact same interpretation that spawned the mythos of cyclopes!

I mean this is basically what early paleontologists were doing. And why they were so often...wrong. Julia had a good guess on that first one tho!

"Everybody asks where's Nessie nobody ever asks how's Nessie" Had me cackling so hard I almost turned blue.

Julia’s “I’m having visions of Garfield” has the exact same energy as “I see dead people” and I don’t know how to process that

Julia isn't usually the one to say something that makes me recoil in horror and disgust (Jacob holds that crown), but "imagine if your eyeballs touched" hit me deep on a new unsavory level

Fun fact, one theory is that the myth of the cyclops comes from elephant skulls. The one big hole in the middle does SEEM like it should hold an eye.

Platypi are just… so strange. I don’t know why I expected anything else. The Platypus: Sweats milk for its children, which came out of eggs, which came out of a mammal

Karina's "who needs em?" Is forever Iconic

"Everyone always asking 'where's nessie' but no one ever asks 'hows nessie?' " fucking killed me

No need to finish the episode, these are the highlights: "These inverted nipples suck milk IN!" "The little volcanuses." "George lucas, can we cut the two hour milk discussion scene?" "NOOO!"

Julia: "is this a Loch Ness?" repeatedly refers to the loch as a bog. Me: cries in scots monster.

Karina losing 10% of her sanity when julia said the skull looked like Garfield exudes an unkown energy source that mankind hasn't discovered yet, and i feed on it.

I love how feral karina got when julia said she saw garfield

Julia was trying Very hard to avoid making an anatomically accurate Hippo.

Fun Platypus facts! The weird groove behind the eye is where the ears are. Their ears are all cartilage not bone. The groove helps them close their eyes and ears underwater, they rely almost entirely on their electricity-sensing bills to find prey.

my favourite drawfee dynamic is karina's absolute refusal to let julia get away with any of her nonsensical statements without making her explain them in great detail

Me, an anthropology major in college sitting on my grandma's farm looking out at the horses: "which one of you are the predator horse"

Bogly (who isn't cursed) is by far my favorite non cursed animal, I'll join him in his non cursed bog

When he said “a platypus is almost a bird” an add played of something roaring in anger

"There isn't a curse, and if there was one, I'd be able to talk about it freely" -Bogly, the Loch Ness Monster of Eastern Folly

Guys, predators typically have front facing eyes That means furby 2 is a predator...

“We all know furbies have bones…” Me, looking across my room at my skinned furby: 👀👀👀

Karina's drawing: the most horrifying monster you've ever seen Nathan: Oh my god a friend!

Karina's aggressive, incredulous "WHERE!?" in response to Julia seeing Garfield in that vampire cyclops skull healed my wounded spirit this evening.

"everybody asks wheres nessie but nobody asks hows nessie" youre so right, julia. thank you

Fun fact: when people discovered the elephant's skull they believed it was a one eyed monster and that's where cyclops come from

Horse 2, Garfield 2, and Furby 2. we're finally getting long awaited animal sequels

I like how Karina basically just reverse engineered the same thought process that the Greeks got when they found an elephant skull

Karina Logic: “If you don’t feel like drawing anatomy, cover it with clothing.” “I don’t want to think about the jaw so I covered it with skin.” Skin = Bone Clothing?

Know that feeling when you bite the inside of your cheek? Can you imagine being Jacob's little monster and managing to bite your own eyeball? First ever suggestion X92: Invent a Pokemon Evolution Line Nathan draws the baby form. Jacob draws the second stage evolution. Karina draws the third stage evolution. And Julia draws a Mega-evolution/Gigantamax form. You could all play nice and plan ahead...OR...throw a twist at each stage. Julia picks the type(s) for Nathan. Nathan picks the Ability for Jacob. Jacob describes the "signature move" for Karina. And Karina makes Julia struggle by saying "So this, but MORE." (What if, but long?)

I would unirionically purchase Furby 2 and I would name it Glunkus and keep it next to my first Furby (named Pepper) so that Glunkus may keep Pepper from committing crimes (Pepper is psychotic)

Karina running through the same ancient logic behind making a Cyclops out of a mammoth skull gives me life.

I am so glad Drawfee is not cursed. I mean they'd tell us if they were cursed.

Me who goes “Huh this is fun, i wonder what a whale skull looks like” and then finds the exact picture they used

I don't know what I was expecting from this video, but one thing I never expected to hear was: "Roosevelt was a cat boy."

“Bugs classically have skulls” “Yeah that’s why they’re so cr u n ch y” I’m losing my shit rn lmaoo

YOU MUST CONTINUE THE BONE GAME! One person chooses an animal skull, another chooses an animal skelly, and the third person must draw an animal with that skull and body without knowing what either animal is.

Furby eyes face directly forward, which indicates that it's a predator (herbavors usually have eyes farther apart to watch out for predators).

"I had a furby, until it scared me" Now THAT is the most relatable thing I have ever heard.

the concept of furby 2 being as big as an elephant skull absolutely terrifies me

Me, a biology student: "I'm going to be in physical pain this entire time aren't I?" Julia: "Anthropologists hate us" Me: (fearful laughter)

sometimes i watch drawfee to help me fall asleep and seeing furby 2 at 11 pm in my completely dark room while tired created an emotion i can't describe with words

27:00 That is General Grievous, Convince me otherwise

Welcome to Drawfee where we take dumb bones and make even dumber animals

You should do a "how could this be Garfield" episode. Find a photo of absolutely anything and then ask, "how could this be Garfield?" and draw it.

Furby 2 is what happens when you feed a regular Furby after midnight

15:24 yoo Garfield look really handsome its like handsome squidward but its a cat

"I used to have a furby... Until it scared me" is the most relatable furby comment. I kept mine in a closet, any time you opened it the furby would just scream "ME NO LIKE". No one opened that closet after a while.

I think if you ever did this bone game again, each of you should choose a bone, and then swap it with someone else so NO ONE knows what animal it is from

Lore: Tuskytooth the horse is the mascot of the bog town Tuskytooth, Alabama. In the bog there is the immortal Lil Ronnie at the bottom, and Bogley swims around. Bogley is totally not cursed by the witch by the bog. Tuskytooth, Alabama is also where the monstrosity known as The Furby 2 was invented. None of this is cursed. It is a totally safe tourist spot. We love guests! 😁

43:45 The artwork reminded me of a donkey, peacefully grazing in a field. Then the next moment, he looks like this and a terrifying noice escape. No no no no, it's a mountain goat!! YAAASSSS! The look fits the actual sound they make!

"Bones- Who needs 'em?" This is by far Drawfee's hardest stance. edit: "You're welcome, God" is an even stronger statement.

Me, enduring the concepts of "What if your eyes always touched" and "earlids": "Bae, new body horror just dropped."

8:48 the way it works is that he’s like a paper towel. he needs to stay wet so he always has at least part of his body in the water, but like paper towels when you dip them in water, the water travels up his body and keeps him sufficiently moist.

And that's why we don't actually know what dinasours look like. It's called the Shrink Wrap Theory.

Mythology back then: elephant skull is a Cyclopes Mythology today: FURBY 2

This was amazing. As a wildlife biologist who knew what the skulls were I was very impressed with how well everyone discerned the animals! Plus fun fact: there are many birds and some mammals (tarsiers) whose eyes are so close together and large that they DO touch!

This is beautiful, really shows how easy it is to get it wrong when trying to describe what an animal looks like via nothing but its bones.

Honestly, if you see what most people do with their furbys now days, I’m sure they would welcome furby 2 whole heartedly and love it.

I respect Nathan for not "Shrink-wrapping" the skull like alot of paleo-artists do

I just realized that in years and years of Drawfee's existence y'all have never done a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends video. So please draw your childhood imaginary friends if they were to live in Foster's.

I've known for decades that hippopotamus means "river horse", but it had never fully dawned on me how unhinged it is to look at a hippo and think "Hey, that's just like a horse!"

i love the contextual stand-up audience in the nessie bit lmao

karina's accusatory tone while she was sketching in proto-garfield for julia had me CRYING

Fun fact: baby elephant skulls are thought to be the reason ancient peoples had myths of cyclopses. Imagine finding that skull at the time and doing basically what Karina did, gotta be a giant eye in the center right!?

Video idea: Artists Draw Monsters from "My Singing Monsters" they've never seen. Rules: The artist only gets the name, element(s), and sounds the monster makes as hints towards how they look!

Re: karina’s nightmares: one of my favorite drawings ever on this channel is her drawing of the bunnies in the “not creepy” episode. Dude, that one is so fucking awesome. Just a god damn delight.

"it's hard to be alive when your skull is out" is the funniest thing Julia has ever said

Congrats to the guy who's been requesting this since the invention of skeletons in 800CE

I am COMPLETELY obsessed with this chanel, you're all so funny and creative and have great art styles. Stanning y'all so hard!

"Can't tell if eyes or nose hole Bottom text" at 19:51 absolutely sent me 😂😂😂

"Vampire cyclops-- they're real and they're out there" is the kind of sentence I subscribe to Drawfee to hear.

Alternative version of this: one person draws a skull, another person draws what the animal would be with that skull, and repeat.

I know you guys arent a podcast necessarily, but your content is my favorite podcast.

Funny enough, there was a monster in an older Monster Hunter title that had a hippo-like skull and could be hunted in an event quest to get a Luigi costume for your cat.

This episode just hits different when you've studied animal skulls for a while for drawing purposes. Also, this is basically how dinosaurs are reconstructed via drawings, so imagine how weird they actually looked.

i’m not sure i’ve ever cried laughing at a video but Karina’s exasperated “what” when Julie said she was experiencing visions of Garfield just fucking got me

I forgot how amazing episode is and I’m just rewatching it really late at night and crying out of laughter. Genuinely so many tears. The bone game is my favorite honestly

Fun fact: killer whales are dolphins.

12:53 "when Julia said 'dolphin'..." "it all clicked" "--it all clicked" "much like a dolphin" *Karina laughs, Nathan lets out a strangled noise of agony*

Can we appreciate how many iconic moments Julia created in this episode

35:35 When you wonder how Julia can out-creepy this... and then: 46:20

What truly swayed me to click on this video is the outline of the Furby, and I am very grateful for every moment of this episode.

That bit about a mobster monster that totally isn’t cursed that went way too long was pure gold.

Karina’s Furby 2 is not just a Furby sequel... it is a Furby bred with a gremlin you fed after midnight.

14:27 “And then what’s *this.* What’s *this,* Julia?” It’s so condescending but in the funniest way

21:10 this is not a friend this is a handsome squidward + furby hybrid

I didn't know I needed Nessie with a transatlantic accent until Nathan's drawing.
