As someone who watches Studio Vlogs while packing orders or illustrating, I always prefer more talking over less talking. I'm usuallynot actively watching 50% of the video because I'm focusing on what I'm doing and always miss what's going on if no talking is involved. 😊
Yeah unless my phone service is good I often can't or don't read the small text. I Actuly don't like reading it because I am wanting to do other things while I watch and feel like I miss out if I don't. I often have to pause the videos to read it if I am on my computer or if it's clear enough on my phone to read. But on the other hand I am very aware that if u put text on I do try to read it and a lot of people have reported from the creator end say that it adds to watch time duration. I think in the movie industry every 7 seconds something needs to change to keep people's attention. So I don't know 🤷
I love your talk overs. The writing is so hard to read on a small phone especially if doing something at the same time, sometimes I missed something really important. ❤❤❤
as someone who as enjoyed your vlogs, i really do appreciate the voiceover, explanations and sometimes you reflect on what you were doing that either worked or didn't work. i think that can be helpful when working thru things. always love your art & the fairy lights are def cozy.
Hi Cat, loving this style of vlogging! We live in the Philippines and seldom hear British accents so super love hearing you speak ☺! Love the fairy lights, your studio vibe, cafe hopping...everything! And pink lover here 😄💕💗💝💖💓💘💞💟!
I prefer this style of vlog. I'm working while I'm playing your videos, so I like to hear your voice. 😉 I'm looking forward to seeing your spring launch and your Canada vlogs on your other channel 😀 ❤
I love voice overs , I feel we get to know more of your journey to get to your final product . I can't wait for Mumma Duck & her ducklings they look so cute . My favourite is Bonbun ❤ As I am rubbish at drawing I would love a Katnipp colouring book ❤
Bumblebutt is my favourite character because we are always noticing and rescuing bees in our house 😊 please make the duckling in a teacup into a pin, that’s my favourite! ❤️🐥 Kate xx
For me personally, I love these vlogs and how you talk through your thoughts because it’s so comforting 🥰☁️💖 I also love getting the back stories on things because it’s a way for us to get to know you. You’re an inspiration to many of us 🩷
I love a mix of both more talking and then less talking... I love seeing the process of the illustrations. the duck in the cup is so precious!!! 💖 and yes to the fairy lights
Yes! Like other commenters, I play your vlogs while doing other things and packaging my own orders, so I love listening to you talk and tell stories so I don’t miss what’s going on screen when I’m looking down or away!
I'm SO excited for the new colors!! I love your artwork so much but my decor is more earthy. Super excited to see the new collection with the new colors!! ❤
Love the fairy lights! You are the number one inspo to start my own art and business journey, I’ve been watching the vlogs since day one! About doing different colours, I think like a black/grey/white for Halloween would be interesting! Think like old black and white films, would be super cool and vintage. Plus I think all you’re stuff is adorable but I am a black, monochrome gal 😂
So many things to discuss from this wonderful video! I enjoy both the voice-overs and the ones where you talk and discuss as you go! Both have their pros and cons, and I think going between them for differences from time to time can be healthy as it keeps you from feeling as though it is a repeat button. Personally, I am not picky one way or the other as the voice-over allows you to discuss additional information that perhaps wasn't thought of on the spot during the recording. My favorites are definitely stuck between two, and I'll give my reasons why for both! Bumblebutt and Puddin are my faves. Bumblebutt because of his love for flowers and his affiliation and adorable-ness when he is designed on a daisy. As daisies were my Mom's favorite flower ("don't you think that daisies are the happiest flower?" is what she'd say) I have a major love for Bumblebutt in relation to my Mother. Puddin is my favorite without question because he's adventurous, way too bloody cute, and looks to enjoy putting on gloves and not knowing what the heckles it's for! For me, Puddin is a mood and I love him. As for the new range with the duckies and updated Bumblebutt and the daisy, I squealed! Not only are they all super adorable, but new Bumblebutt and Daisies are absolutely GRAND!! I'm super duper excited for them to come out and can't wait to have them to look at and make me smile! :)
I listen to your studio blogs like they’re podcasts in a way - honestly I’d love to listen to you talk about running a cozy business on a podcast weekly lol! So more talking is always great. Your channel is such a spree of comfort and inspiration for me.
IMHO clear lights are never tacky - they add sparkle any time of the year! I love that you're making Satsuma again; I try to collect all your feline pins as I am a cat person. Also prefer your lovely voice overs!
Love your new colour collection, definitely feeling a spring vibe, and the ducks are super cute. The lights are lovely and give a cosy feel to your studio, and the colouring books and car fresheners are both good additions to your product range. I like both kinds of vlogs, a bit of both. Have a great week. 🙂
Laughing over the double tap in your sketchbook, lol. I've tried swiping my book pages before to turn the page like in an e-book, and I've tried to zoom into a photo once in a magazine.
I’m literally the same I’ll be looking at something in a magazine or catalog or something and try to zoom in then remember that it’s paper and not on my phone I so it a lot. Love you r videos love watching them very week ❤🥰✨
I love those illustrations, there fabulous. At first I thought they were swans. I love the little duckling in the cup, it's absolutely adorable. I to rather prefer the voice over instead of having to read. And yes, keep the fairy lights🧚♀️, they look sweet and magical. Great vlog!! 🤗
I love this style of video.. I’m lucky enough to be able to watch RU-vid while I’m working and love the talking. Sometime when it’s less taking it’s harder for me to follow but I always go home and rewatch to make sure I don’t miss anything. Absolutely love you and your journey you’re such an inspiration to me and the reason I started my own small business.
I LOVE the cute daffodil and duck sketches! My sister is a new mom of 2 under 2, and her favorite flower is daffodils. I will definitely be buying from this collection for some gifts for her ♥
I love the lights up so please keep them. They look very magical ✨️And instead of coffee purchase fruit and good fruit juice 😋 it works for me and I my creativity flow so much more than when I'm sat at my desk. But thats just me😊 for me its Bumblebutt.
LOVE the more chatty vlogs - I for one found myself pausing your videos lately, because the text went away too fast and I couldn't read it all in time. It also meant I was missing a lot of the visuals... this vlog = no pausing and I caught all the action, thanks for switching it up :)
I love your chatty, longer videos ☺️ You inspire me soooo much…I’ve even begun to draw again…and I’m 49! I’m planning to tackle digital drawing as well, so seeing your process and your chatting as you do… I just love it 💕 And I watch your personal channel so I can travel vicariously through you and Dean 😂
I love your ducks and Bumblebutt sketches! Your illustrations are adorable ❤Also please keep the fairy lights up, they make the studio so pretty and cozy!
Yay, I'm so happy to see more Satsuma designs, I love him so much! I adore the ducks and Bumblebutt designs too! The little ducklings are so cute! I was on deviantart back in the day too! I used to draw loads, but many years ago I got depression and things I used to love to do, like drawing, I stopped doing and I still haven't picked it back up. I'm slowly picking up interest in doing painting and soft pastel work again, I just need a push to really go back and give it a try again.
I used to love your previous videos too, but I'm enjoying this style more voiceovers & storytelling even more, as I usually watch you as I edit photos or draw myself & it's harder for me to keep track of the text and keeps me more engaged 😊
YAAAYYY!!! I'm desperately waiting for when your digital sticker collection gets released. I'm not allowing myself to buy any more paper journals so it's my only vice
I always watch your videos whilst packing up Etsy orders as I find you so inspiring! You also live near me to happy to watch someone from the north east :) love the daffodils set - cannot wait to order those!
We absolutely loved the storyteller vibe to this vlog and hope you will incorporate this into future ones. Of course all of the vlogs are great, but really enjoy hearing your thoughts. It also made us giggle to hear that Gingie is based on Dean, but actually his least favourite character …. Though I’m sure he loves him too. How could you not? ✨ Another one for the fairy lights here!
Definitely keep the fairy lights I think it adds a bit of magic to the studio. I love your new duck illustrations they're soooo cute! And I like any style vlog you choose to do . This type is fun but your other types are fun too!
Good morning. The fairy lights is beautiful. Keep it on. I like the talkative you and the story telling. Have a beautiful and blessed week further. 👌👍❤️
I love the voice over and storytelling. I think you've grown in editing even from the past month I've been watching. Also, your matcha latte was absolutely beautiful hahahahah . Not me jealous.
I’ve been watching your studio vlogs for over 3 years now and it never gets old🥹 thank you for sharing your process and life with us. You’re so inspiring!🫶🏽
Love the voice overs! Also, would really love some more relaxing packing orders videos again. Can't tell you how many times i have them on in the background while I'm working.
Love the voiceovers/storytelling style. And I'm so pleased you're bringing in other colors cause I'm one of those not such a fan of pink fan..lol. I love Satsuma, the cat... your amazing, very talented and very inspirational and such a happy soul.
Definitely keep the fairy lights up! :) And OMG the ducklings!! Could the ducks appear in illustrations year-round? :D So cute. I love your videos regardless of the voiceovers, both are great!
Hey Catherine!.. Yellow and Pink " look great together")...!.. Yes, I think you should keep the "Fairy Lights" up!.. At least thru the Winter. They're sooo "Beautiful" & Cozy" especially in the Evening...lol..
Right?! I love that colour combo hehe also green and pink and brown and pink, also ANY PINK haha 🤣 aww thank you! hhehe, I was worried they still looked a little tacky and christmassy
1. Keep the lights!! So friendly! (Not tacky) 2. I want more Sour Puss cat 🐈 I've only really seen him on a mouse mat 3. I like more when you're talking to the camera, especially the send off with your cute "GOODBYE!" Close up 😂 I look forward to it because it's so unique and so Catherine 💖 4. yes KATNIPP COLORING BOOK!!!
1. The fairy lights are cute and not tacky. They provide a sense of whimsical-ness to the office space 😊 2. I think my fav character is Puddin the dog. I’m quite a dog person (: 3. I have enjoyed the voice over more. I also noticed you increased the size of your text and let it linger a bit longer 🙌🏻🙏🏻 that has also been a great change 😊 I really enjoyed your trip to the little shop and then the coffee shop. Your matcha latte looked beautiful! Also- what a fun idea! A coffee shop/plant shop. I like that!
I love your videos. The fairy lights should stay up if you ask me. They make the studio look so nice and cozy. Also I really enjoy more talking in a video. Sometimes I have it on in the background and don't always get to read whats on screen.
the more talking one is really enjoyable ))) I vote for more voiceovers)))))) I would love to know more about you personally and your characters ))))) 💕
I love the v/o and thank you so much for using a bigger text. I am always watching/listening while working on projects and would miss so much because your typed comments were so teensy! 🐾💕🐾
