I Redrew My FIRST Drawing 23 Years Later *see my progress* 

Your mom is a real one for keeping all of those gems!🤣

Your mom and my mum are incredibly similar in that my mum kept and still keeps everything of mine too, even little scribbles of paper I’ve drawn stick men on, so I’ve seen the absolute mess of art I’ve made over the years and when I’m having a bad day or struggling to get something right with my art, I just remember the horrendous things I used to make as a kid and feel better 😂😂😂 also editing!! 👌 love the process of you taking the reference photo hahah

well, you'd definitely win that kindergarten contest now.

Sooo amazing! Awesome job!!! I have an idea about a possible series (?)… What about recreating the art of the product’s packaging? For ex: recreate the drawing on Prismacolor’s tin with their pencils etc…

Can we just appreciate how the condition of those things is like, PERFECT

Rae mom: proud of anything Rae dose My mom: “okay just throw it away we don’t need it, it’s taking up space”

Rae's personalty is such a vibe The art the clothes the accessories Every thing ahhhh 👏QUEEN 👏

Rae: are you gonna sing me happy birthday :D Zac: no. Rae:… *happy birthday to me…*

Rae’s mom: keeps a damn newspaper just cause her daughter is in the background My mom: (finds an old artwork that I am still kinda proud of) *SHOULD WE TOSS IT!?*

Me who’s like: “How tf did your mom allow you to keep it, my mom scans and throws away anything that’s older than 2 weeks”

these videos are so motivational, especially for beginner artists. it shows that very talented artists such as yourself didn't start out especially skilled. it's all about experience and learning from your mistakes. this is something i feel like a lot of people lose sight of sometimes. your personality also makes videos like these so much more enjoyable!! if youre stuck on videos ideas, or in an art block, maybe you can use your suffering for content and go through your art block with your viewers.

I'm rewatching this video with my niece because she's struggling to be able to draw perfectly and I showed her this show her how practice and time helps to improve art.

I like how I saw the "heart" and thought "how cute a piñata" and she was like "idk a heart sawed in half?" 😆

she's gotten really good, I'm proud of you Rae! Edit: vape cat pfp

Wow Rae You've clearly improved a lot over the past 23 years! The drawing came out fantastic ✨😄

My mum throws away literally everything- I had a book I used to use alot, until I filled it up. I guess it was my first sketchbook sort of... Because it was lined paper. Still, I considered it a sketchbook. I did (and still do) this thing where I draw the same thing after a while. My first, second, and (maybe) third were in there. Buut.... It was thrown away, like alot of my other books and stuff. She always throws away stuff without even asking or telling. Honestly I'm really jealous of people with great parents, but I'm happy that they do (depending on the people lol)

U were the main reason i started drawing agaaaain like 2 years ago and im getting so much progress since then😩

Aww!!The sweetest thing is that Rae's mom saved all these artworks and then gave it at her graduation!!☺

Rae's Mom: *keeps all Rae's old drawings and achievements and stuff* My mom: has kept about 2 of my childhood drawings 😭

Rae: wins 5th place in drawing competitition when she was 5 Rae's mom: *Ah, yes, I see the potential*

When she starts drawing she should call it the ART PART

it's inspiring to see how much you've improved 🥺 also the warm yellow tones in the drawing completely transformed it to the next level, i love it so much!

Right when you were randomly looking around my smoke alarm went of so I low-key paused the vid like 5 times and it scared me since it's literally 1:08 am

Alternative title: Rae cosplaying as the future version of her 5-year-old self

i have always really loved rae's videos but when i found out she was a britney spears fan TOO she is amazing.

OML I think you are so talented, I don't think you realise how much you make my day. You are my favourite art you tuber.

This is absolutely amazing!!! I love everything about this and I learned a lot just from watching your process! Keep em coming ❤️

Am I the only one who thought that she was actually going to draw the exact drawing 😂(P.S. I kinda wanted to see that really)

Rae!!! I love your channel so much!!! You taught me how to draw!!! Drawing is my coping mechanism with autism!!! Whenever I have autistic meltdowns I draw to understand what I’m feeling, you are my hero!!!

Your mom is literally the sweetest person 💗

omg the warmth and glow in the drawing is amazing!! Your blending really made it look like a painting I love this sm 💃🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Your mom is awesome! My mom kept my art since from when I was 3! Love to see you reflect on old art your mom is probably super proud of this post!! ❤️

Your so good! I’m practicing drawing and you have helped a lot.

I literally haven’t watched your vids in a month, so great to see you back. Love your vids

I really enjoyed this video! This is very inspiring😍 you have improved so much over the years! Really amazing to see your progress as an artist. And you also have the sweetest mom ever🥰

omg....you always inspire me sooo much...you are the literal rae of sunshine in my life cutie...keep going ...we love you

You even drew nerves on your hand You're so talented

Now , I am sure that drawing would have definitely won kindergarten . Rae , I have no words that is just ✨GORGEOUS ✨

So awesome 💗😍 loved it rae. Love it♥️

The progress is amazing. Seeing where you started out and where you are now. 🥰

Omg Rae is literally sky rocketing the quality with the cenematic shots of just going and getting the drwwing lol

This is just not about your drawing talent. It's about your life and the dedication you're putting to make a one video is remarkable. You're my inspiration 🧡

❤️loving that your mom kept everything - so sweet❤️

Rae, you're probably the first art youtuber I ever watched and I can't stop watching your videos ❤️ today's was really enjoyable, I'm actually rewatching! and I really enjoyed seeing you using colour pencils, the drawing came out amazing! I hope we'll get to see more colour pencil content 🥰 I myself have recently taken out my tin of prismacolors to have a little fun after a long time of them being pushed aside ✨

11:13 Yes all the time omg I thought it was just me!

Haha, your mom is like my grandma! She would hoard all my childhood drawings and place them on the walls! Funnily enough, as a kid I used to draw the same drawings over and over again and she must have surely have 20 carbon copies of this one little whale I would always draw 😂 Did anyone else do this?

Love your art! I look forward to see more of your creations in future videos

Your artwork is always fantastic. Such a spectacular transformation!

Her mum: never throws out her art My mum: **throws out any art that isn't in my art cabinet**

That shows art isn’t a talent, it takes hours of hard work and motivation to complete

love how you do any kind of art .you do beautiful work.takes art to another level.🙋‍♀

I have a folder full of drawings from when I was in nursery/preschool/kindergarten. My grandmother had kept it for many years and when I moved away from home I got the folder. The folder contains drawing from me aged 2 to 5,5 years old. The earliest drawing is from 1993 and the “newest” from 1997. It’s really fun to see my drawing developments over the years. From just a bunch of circle motions lines and head-people (it’s a head with legs, no body) to a quite good drawn self portrait for a 5 year old. 😄

As she blew out the candles the memories of her childhood friends flashed in her mind. Thoughts of how easy it was for her to make Jimmy... tumble shall we say, over the side of the hill. "Happy birthday to me" she chuckled to herself as she slowly rose from the table to visit the last of her friends who knew what really happened to Jimmy. It was time for Henry to take a tumble too. Sorry, got a creepy vibe from the pic so thought it could use a story.

This is why I love just searching up drawing and just scrolling for hours to find gems like this

Omg what an amazing drawing. Your are fabulous Rae.

So proud of how far you’ve come Rae ❤️

I still have my very first drawings and little books I used to do when I was little!

We love your video!

Really awesome video! Number one: your mom is an absolute gem and her love for you is so beautiful to see. Two: what an amazing opportunity to get to take a moment of your childhood creativity and revisit it as an adult to refine it with all of the training, experience, and hard work you've put in over the intervening years. And, three: the piece you made was just stunning to see. You truly have such amazing talent and have developed such incredible skill through study and practice. This is definitely one of my very favorites of your videos.

WowRae, your drawing was superb hun. Well done! By the way, your mum sounds like the best mum ever! Kudos to her for raising you to be so cool and artistic. Your drawings are totally stunning!

To whoever reads this I hope you have an amazing day

I got 1 IMPORTANT QUESTION that I wanna ask you Rae, do you have any old fan art of your favorite characters in movies, comics, books, games, or etc? 😃 Because I wanna see you redraw them next time or someday please! 😃

I loved Rae's proud smile in the end! a true artist so proud of her progress...I wanna see how Mamma Dizzle reacts

it looks incredible

Hey it’s my mom’s birthday so it made me laugh at the fact your first drawing was a birthday party .

This queen's having a pity party all by herself in that picture 💕🥳🎂

Awesome job! And great choice for background change. really made it warm and sweet memory type of vibe.

And she is a blessing ❤️

Can we just appreciate her music taste 💞

That's the best excuse for getting a cake that I've ever heard 🎂🤣

I literally loved this! I struggle all the time with hands (graphite and charcoal) you smashed it!!!

The queen of art 🖼💚

your like one of the most lucky people I’ve seen

I wish my mom was like that and same with my brother. :(

You have some of the greatest ideas I love it!

I love love love love love your channel I literally started drawing after watching your you tube channel

10:06 “Happy Accident” ;)

I think I’m good at drawing Then I watch rae do art

Girl slaying with the drawing❤

I love you videos so much honestly they make my day

TREAT PEOPLE WITH KINDNESS

I used to draw potatos for people. Looks better than my drawings rn

This was so amazing, love to see it!

Something relating to a mother's love makes me cry easily so yes I shed a tear when you were talking about your mom

3:42 You called that dark? When I was in nursery, my teacher told us to draw plant seedlings but instead I drew scattered human bones in a desert scenery.

My mom is kinda different, I’m kinda similar to ur mom , when I was cleaning my room , I kinda got a little emotional …bcuz of the nostalgic things 💀 But my mom did keep my important a lot too

Awwwe your mom is so awesome for saving all those 😍🥰

You truly are an inspiration girl..!!❤️🥰❣️😊

Your mom is like my mom 😂 She's kept something from every year of my life, stored away in memory boxes. I remember finding all my teeth in a box once and that's how my tooth fairy fantasy was ruined 😂

I wish you actually tried to redraw it like how it looked in the photo but sure.

That's the most gorgeous drawing of color pencils in a realistic form ever made of yourself with that yellow cake and pretty pink nails. It looks so amazing that it just touches the heart ❤️. 💪😁Great Job 👍👍

It’s amazing how your mom kept your first drawing! You can always look at it and see where it all started! Plus you can see just how far you’ve come!

Anyone else sometimes wishes she would just start a drawing freehand without tracing or is that just me?

“Are you going to sing happy birthday?” *happy voice* “No.” *deep voice* *Sad face that looks happy*

Y”all inspired me all the artists and i became better🥺

This is beautiful. You are so entertaining. So much fun to watch🌹

My mom is also like this all my childhood drawings are actually plastered in out walls lmao and I'm both embarrassed and proud of seeing it 😩🖐️

The eyes look a little weird, but apart from that the drawing looks like a masterpiece!

hiii rae:) you are soo talented and inspire soo manyy💖 have a nice day

This is soooo good!!! I love how the vein in the hand came out. So much talent I’m dead.
