Not that long ago taking pictures of deceased family members was very normal and probably therapeutic for those left. I find this a far more intimate and beautiful tribute; especially since she gave you your love for art. A very fitting and beautiful final tribute. Bless you for sharing.

I want to thank you for this video. My 9 year old hates writing because it’s not very easy for her due to a language disorder. However she loves art and wants to work for Disney. She got a ton of art supplies and sketchbooks for Christmas and has started putting writing with her drawings today. Hopefully she continues

as a person that aspires to be an animator, this video is showing me a way of living that i've always found very healthy. Time consuming on one hand, but therapeutic on the other hand. To be able to grasp a moment with your eyes and your mind, is literally like entering a whole other world... like meditating in action

Yes, you are a great teacher and you inspire me to draw every day, but on top of that, you offer an emotional insight that is rarely found, not just on RU-vid, but in life. I thank your mother for creating such an awesome person, and I thank you for sharing such a personal experience. Again, thank you.

Sir, thank you for sharing, not only your AMAZING sketches but your feelings and your sad moments in life. I went through a divorce, then lost my father recently, and my best friend passed away young. I'm going through depression, and I'm having a hard time sketching and drawing again. I guess you inspired me to go and pour my emotions into my sketchbooks. I didn't expect to cry at the end of this video!

Saying that, she has never been happier now that i am focussing on my art amd passion beyond the world of tattoos. Like you said several times. The therapeutic effect it has on me is nothing less than Gods gift and way of giving me a tool to heal and comfort self through lifes trials and tribulations. Ive recently started watching your videos and each one inspires me to push forward....God bless you and yours ..
