the life of an illustrator working on a graphic novel 

There’s no way studio vlogs would ever bore us, but inspire and cheer us up 🥰

"I'm afraid you'll get bored" I would adopt you if I could Fran

I'm never bored of studio vlogs.

These vlogs are inspiring. I've been wanting to start a RU-vid channel similar to this for a long time but have wondered, while I'm watching yours, who's gonna want to watch me draw and or talk about it. Then I wake up and realize I'm doing exactly that. Subscribing to great channels like yours. Haha. Thanks for sharing.

Fran, even though you can’t see us in your vlogs, we can see you, and I hope this doesn’t sound weird but I feel that whenever I watch your videos, it’s like an old friend catching me up on their life. I’m glad you share the good illustration days and the not so good ones because it is a completely normal and natural creative process, and reassures artists to keep going regardless of the tricky times. Your illustrations bring a lot of joy to many people. 😊

so much pink 💗 I'm never bored with studio vlogs, be gentle and know that we love visiting with our youtube friend Fran

Can we just appreciate the fact that this video has no ads 😌

I always love when Fran says she needs to be gentle with herself

Does anyone else just want to hug her and tell her you believe in her? That's she's doing an incredible job.

I'd love to see notion tour! I always feel so inspired after your videos

I know it will be a good day when it starts with a new video from fran :3

I did a whole graphic novel about baseball players. I took a photo of every single pose I didn't knew how to do (pretty much every one of them!) and thanks to that the story look amazing. But yes, for sure, those pics out of context are the weirdest hahaha Y me acabo de dar cuenta de que estoy escribiendo en ingles y que vos sos de chile, EN FIN. Un abrazo desde Argentina, Fran!

Your vlogs are LITERALLY part of my self care routine!!! They help me unwind and it makes my day when i see youve uploaded a new video! Please don’t ever think we get bored!!

I know how you feel about not beeing a native english. My native language is romanian and english is soo different. I can understand what people say in english but when I try to speak is like I don't even know how to say pencil, eraser or good morning. I perfectly fell you Fran

when fran was struggling on those pages i felt that the making comics struggle is real

I am grateful you share these struggleling moments because that's how I feel about doing paintings with acrylics. It helps to know that this is a normal part of being artistic

i've told my students to use references for poses countless times already. seeing you taking pic of yourself for reference is what i encourage them to do everytime they struggle with the ways limbs supposed to look like in poses

hi fran! first, i just want to say that you are absolutely magical and i love these videos very much!! 💖 now, i'm not entirely sure if this will help with perspective issues but it's helped me in the past when drawing on paper.. but i suggest maybe taking a picture of the spread/page and then importing it onto your ipad and then open it in something like procreate. you can add perspective drawing guides to line up with other things (like the bed) if you need to! then you can use the lasso tool to select the area you want to change (like the boxes) and use the arrow menu next to it once it's selected to distort/warp your selection as needed to make it look right with the rest of the spread. it's fairly quick in comparison to erasing and getting frustrated (i know that feeling so well!!. you can use the edited version as either a guide to reference, or even maybe print it out and trace over it with a lightbox. i hope that made sense and maaaybe helped? but either way, know that you're not alone in these troubles. being an illustrator is hard! but you've got this. :)

don't worry, i'm never bored and will never get bored by your studio vlogs !!!! I love the way you edit them, this so peacefull and quiet. This just what I need when i feel bad !!!

I don't know about anyone else but I could never get bored of you when I want MORE of you! I get so happy when I see you've posted a video!

Everytime your studio vlog finish I feel like when you finish to read your favorite Novel and you keep meditate on It and you feel deeply sad because It's finished🙃 I'm never bored of your vlogs 🥰 hugs and kisses from Italy 😘

Having gone to animation school, our teachers would be proud of your reference pictures, we had to film/take pictures of ourselves ALL THE TIME, and we couldnt continue an assignment unless we had a pinterest board or folder of 75+ references and good ones. In any art school you go to they will always say the 3 Rs of art are REFERENCE REFERENCE REFERENCE! So keep it up! Also your studio vlogs are the best to have on and draw/work with you so you never bore us!

Firstly Frannybaby studio vlogs will never ever ever get old so let go of that one (watching people’s creative process, old? Never!), but also just wanted to share how helpful it is that you’re honest and share that you are still creating, still productive, when all the ducks aren’t in a row too 🦆 🦆 🦆 I’ve waited for so long to start my business for the right time, right mental state, right situation and I’m learning from you that you can just start and do it bit by bit even when it doesn’t FEEL like you can. Love to you from Australia xxx

I'm so glad i became a Patreon! Your vlogs are so soothing + inspiring. Thank you Fran and be well!

OK ONE THING I GOTTA SAY: I appreciate it so SO MUCH that you show us the parts of your job that are out of your comfort zone, or that you're struggling with creatively, like the graphic novel for example. When I started out as an illustrator, I basically thought YAY everything will be easy from now on because I love drawing and I won't struggle with anything - HA. But the thing is: excellence comes from the combination of doing what you love, but also doing the parts of it you don't particularly enjoy at first, so that you can expand your skill set and learn to tell different stories. The grind shapes you into the diamond that you are! Did that make sense? Long story short: thank you, dear Fran, for always encouraging us to step outta our comfort zones as well, whether consciously or unconsciously doing that, and thank you for being such an amazing human ❤️

We are never bored

So grateful and happy to be watching another of your vlogs! 🖤

I love vlogs! And yours are always so inspiring and fun! It’s cool to see your art and your work processes and other funny bits you add in the vlog (like that 20 min long song lol). Thank you so much for another vlog, Fran! 🥰💕

Fran!! Just wanted to let you know that you're doing so good and that I'm insanely excited for the graphic novel! It looks beautiful

yay! fran! this is awesome cos i'm attempting a graphic novel for the first time...eek!

I’ve always wanted to consider myself an illustrator but since I’m terrible at drawing from memory I simply thought I couldn’t draw. Then an instructor of mine encouraged the use of references and it turns out I can draw 🤣

AH! Your sketches are great. The expressions are so terrific. So cool to see the process starting off on paper.

This vlog was really lovely. Thank you for sharing your day with us!

thank you for sharing this interesting part of the process, so much to learn and enjoy!

Yo nunca me aburro de tus studio vlogs, me siento identificada en muchos aspectos cuando dibujo, y eso siempre ayuda mucho

me encantan tus studio vlolgs y todos tus videos !! nos inspiras mucho ❤❤❤❤❤

Hard relate on the sudden break in confidence thing about vlogs being interesting. But they always are!!! I think it's natural to worry that people might get bored? I mean, if you didn't you might be a narcissist lol. I love the lighting in your studio so much!

I don't remember the last time I drew anything from memory! I'm always weary of the people that give suggestions making the creative process less enjoyable. i.e drawing everything from memory! ^.^ Love your vlogs ...so enjoyable! x

I feel it only fair to let you know that you studio vlogs are magic. I see the notification come through, and I get excited and I save it for as long as I can (usually can hold out about 13.4 minutes). Don't ever worry about being boring!

Thank you for your vlogs-I enjoy them... never boring! So good to see you! Huge hug!

I could never get bored of Frannerd 🥰

I love your studio vlogs Fran, they make my Fridays! :)

Your vlogs inspire me to keep working on my own projects. Plus I like listening to your videos as a work too. Thank you ☺️

When you showed that pose difference, holy moly I felt that! I have had those moments so often while working on my comics so often
