WHAT MY ART WOULD LOOK LIKE IF I WASN'T LAZY!? 

"Stage one of figuring out what to draw... is figuring out what to draw" - so true :D

alternate title: Rin loses her mind while drawing a parrot

Can We PLEASE just appreciate Rin for captioning her videos Since RU-vid took the more professional captions It’s great that she did that helping the deaf community and those from other countries

I think one of the reasons why sketches look so good is like you said, a lot isn't finalised, so your brain fills in the gaps or chooses the best lines/details based on your preferences and it looks great. But once all the lines are defined and 100% clear, you take away the chance to fill in the details you like and the chance for a bit of interpretation. I love the way your sketch stage looks like, I prefer it over the refined stages too, you could try doing a "refined" sketch type of drawings, like eleeza or smth!

"I think I just reached the 10hr mark" Me: wOah I draw for 2 and give up

Hey, Rin what would you think about doing a video on the art style bend challenge that's happening on Insta?? You basically like take everything iconic about your art style and flip it opposite 🤣 I think it'd be rlly cool to see the difference with you art style!! 💕💜

I have an art challenge idea! You could do different “aesthetics” as characters!

Waffles when drawing: i'm trying to find out the anatomy of the arms. Me when drawing: bones go crack crack

I love watching Waffles while I'm doing my school work. It calms me

Honestly I feel the same way about finalizing my art. It's kind of disappointing because I do sometimes want it to be crisp, but I lose all emotion and fluidity. I just stick with pencils and occasional liner on top (no erasing) some glitter, or alcohol markers and I've never been happier. Yes, I'm not actively improving "true" refining, but I like to think that's there's more than one way to refine something! I like to think it's my style, and I honestly enjoy the entire process. I can't enjoy erasing my pencil, it has so many emotions and character, I can't bring myself to take that away. Insteas of worrying about making a mistake with the liner or something stressful like that, I focus on character design, dinamics, anatomy,ECT. This was super enjoyable to watch, but I felt bad that you hated doing it 😂. Anyways, don't feel like you HAVE to improve on refining. Sometimes that's not who we are as an artist, but I commend you for taking the time to practice refining, it's definitely not easy!

_I’m back!_ *Rin’s Quotes* “Shorting cuts, or cutting shorts” “Of course were including a person, if you thought otherwise, welcome, you must be new here” “Let’s just rainbow the whole thing up.” _nervous laugh_ *”Think it’s too liney-upper with the face”* “Go character!” “One of those funky 80’s photos” “The first step of figuring out what to draw, is figuring out what to draw” “I wanna give up, I wanna give up, ooh!” Ok, you know the drill. Admission fee is 1 like. Seriously though, this takes forever. Please let me know if I miss anything good! (Note: I do my best, but some quotes may not be exact!)

lazy rin: creates a masterpiece lazy me: covered with doritos crumbs hardworking rin: creates a masterpiece hardworking me: never happened p.s: im a small art channel too :)

(Edit: DID YOU JUST CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE 😱) Wait... so waffles has been making amazing art all this time... and she was being *lazy* 😱 I can't imagine being that talented 😂

This whole comment section is just people complimenting Rin on her art😂

I'm kind of the opposite, sketching is kinda painful but finalising with colours and rendering is what I enjoy

“I think sweater and tropical birds don’t really mix...” Rio, that movie: :0

Honestly, I always thought I was a sketcher, too. The fact is that I always like my art as sketch, while when I lineart it and color it I don't like it as much because I see SO MANY flaws, but still I don't get what's exactly wrong with it. And after working on something for a while without getting anywhere with those flaws, I get bored, too. This video was basically watching myself, and trust me, I felt the frustration. What makes it even worse for me, is the fact that I'm mostly a traditional artist, which means re-making things. And after a while I get tired of re-making and give up. This video made me think: I am definitely lazy with my art, and also I should try to do more digital. Thanks for the helpful insights!

Camera slowly zooms in as Rin contemplates what to do next: *”I need it underneath maybe.. what If I set it to multiply? No... No.. what do, hmm..”*

(Note: I'm sorry for the long comment, but I've been noticing this was something that was causing the fustration, but I could never could figure out the wording until now that I see what is happening in it's entirety) I think... the issue you're having of the Final Product versus the sketch is when you start doing the lineart, you're trying to "perfect" even the flow of the piece when you're redrawing the sketch of the piece on the larger piece. You see the "Imperfections" of even in the movement and it's making it feel stiff to you because you're not letting the looseness of the original to come through with the redraw. I noticed once you redid the looseness of the work and went over it more painterly and then emphised it with the linework on top of that, you have the flow and movement you want. You do better in the painterly style because it has the process of "sketching" but you can then get the satfication of clean up with the linework on top. It's not a cheat, it's more that you have to embrace the sketchiness process of "It's going to look worse before better" of the painterly style. You're still implying your reasearch, you just have to remember to loosen your hand and mind on the larger pieces.

Rin, your channel is such an inspiration for art channels everywhere: the intro music is peppy without being over the top, the editing and camera angles make us feel like we're there snooping in on you, your upload consistency for us hooked like it's a drug. I wish I knew this place a few years ago. Thank you, boo, and sending love from a fellow Ethiopian artist ❤️

Rin when she’s lazy: Piccaso, Van Gough, ect. Rin when she’s not: WHAT IS THIS AMAZING GOD LEVEL ART??!?!??!!

When she said ," cutting shorts" I was like what is she going to actually cut shorts??

I feel like this is an issue that most artists struggle with, especially when you start improving your skills to the point of making more complicated pieces with full backgrounds. The art of finishing and polishing a piece is a skill, one that takes more time to learn than the basics, I think. I experience similar issues where I get to a point, I'm trying to make my piece look finished, and then my "finishing touches" end up ruining it! I learned some great tips, even though I don't do digital art.

Even when she’s “lazy” her art turns out more amazing than I could imagine, I can’t wait to see what she makes here

Rin being lazy: a million times better than my art Rin not being lazy: OMG 😱 how?

I think a good pose for this would be to have the girl’s face at a profile, her body at a three quarter but more back, and her having her arm out and the parrot landing. That way you get the back of the parrot and plenty of the girl, plus I think that’s more natural. But the heck do I know lol, the pose waffle’s chose still looks gorgeous

“this is what it looks like when I’m not having fun” I can relate to that so incredibly much!! I love watching your process, even when you’re struggling, I think the end result is always so beautiful!! 💖💖

The bendy back arm is driving me crazy. It looks like there's no bones.

I love how she talks and explains what she’s doing and includes every single detail while talking.

Drawingwiffwaffles: *posts new video* Me and my sister: *throws sketchbooks on the table like a ninja-star*

Omg waffles Pinterest has her old RU-vid channel logo!! Who else was here when waffles had her old RU-vid channel logo?

"i feel like parrots and sweaters dont mix" i mean as a birb owner their nails are sharp as hell and i prefer wearing a sweater that i dont like much so my arms dont get scratched up (and because he poops on everything)

Draw with Waffles: "No shortcuts" Me:".....oh look shortcut" Lol I really enjoyed this video. Big fan. :)

Rin should TOTALLY do the “style bend challenge”

Meme: Look at all those chickens Waffles: Look at all those feathers

What I learned from this is when you couldn't name that feeling, that overwhelming urge to just stop, it was when you weren't heading in a direction you liked. You're not lazy, you just have a particular style that you find pleasing, and your body tells you when you need to stop and take a different approach. When you did push through it and started over, your art became amazing. I need to remember this when I feel like giving up.

Maybe in order to find a way to know how to fix your mistakes.. maybe whenever you look at someone else's art, try to find mistakes on their artworks.. maybe try to imagine what you would have done to fix them and what you would have done differently. Btw I love you art !!! Thank you for inspiring us while doing what you love!!!

Isn't that the question we all ask ourselves?

When you were deciding the position the character and the bird would be in, I immediately thought that the girl could have her arms spread as if she's flying while the bird is either doing the same with its wings while standing on her shoulder or flying above her.

It's honestly so calming to put Rin's videos in the bg while I sketch. Thanks Rin!!

i’ve never clicked faster i strive for your videos 🙃

I’m extremely excited fir a new video! You are my favorite artist so watching your videos is always such a huge inspiration for me! Love you and your art! Thanks for making videos! 💜💜💜

Rin, you are always pushing yourself to be better!!! You are already the reason I am inspired to make art (Not to mention the other 2.11 million of your subscribers) and I am always so excited when I see you make a new upload. Keep up the amazing work, and great job encouraging all those young artists out there by doing what you do. 💙💙💙

Maybe a decent idea to try out is taking your OC’s and drawing them realistically 🤷‍♀️

“I feel myself...cutting shorts...” C’mon, I CAN’T be the ONLY one who loves it when Rin makes these funny sounds and quotes.

The keyboard when Waffles is doing it digitally is so satisfying to me 😂 idk y

I feel like Rin should do more ‘non-lazy’ videos more often. It’s a good opportunity for her to grow as an artist. She may not like finalizing her art but the more the does it the more comfortable it will be💜 WE BELIEVE IN YOU RIN

I love watching you drawing. It gives me inspiration to like draw. Your art is Amazing as always

"That looks like a pidgeot nit a PaRrOt."

“Stage one of figuring out what to draw… is figuring out what to draw”

Oh my gawshness! TWO THINGS 1: I had my headphones blue toothed and every time waffles laughed and went "PFF"! I jumped.🤣 And 2. I saw her new icon and my heart melted!!🥰

i dont know what it is but theres something just so satisfying about watching ur art videos

Me when I am lazy: TRASH ART Rin when she’s lazy : GOD LEVEL ART Me: so....all this time she is lazy but still makes GOD LEVEL ART!?!!? Gosh DAMNIT

No delicious evening full of waffles??? I’m crying Rin!! I need those waffles!

"Wind blowing in the hair" -Rin, 2020

I love this! You worked so hard and it turned out amazing!!!! Good job Rin!

Oh you always make my Saturdays so special thank you so much for being a huge inspiration for my drawings and I hope that you keep doing these videos! 💜💜💜

no one: literally no one: waffles: my doggie✨✨💘💓💗💗💖⚡⚡

It is so beautiful masterpiece. Actually very proud of her being so patient about it..well in her way:)I watch you every time I am practicing my art (you are actually helping me to improve myself)

This is so incredible!!! I always love your art, but just the colours and everything of this one it’s one of my favourite pieces you’ve done! I’m so proud of you for not giving up, you did SUCH a good job!!!! You constantly keep surprising me

Her art style really reminds me of something. I just can’t put my finger on it.... It’s so nostalgic thought I like it.

Im so happy you posted cuz i have a art block and and you all way make me happy and wana draw ✨

Rin: "...cutting shorts or shorting cuts..." Lol Rin: "I'm thinking..." Gaston: "a dangerous past time." Lefou: "ik" *we'll put it on a person's shoulder bc obviously we're including it. If you thought otherwise... Welcome. You must be new here.* xD

WOW!! this was absolutely beautiful!!! I'm glad you stuck with it and didn't give up!

Rin: *gurgly purring noises* Me: “I am watching Waffles’ slow decent into madness.” This video was extremely relatable to my current situation.

"poofy sleeves with a square neckline, is that trendy?" me in my poofy sleeved, squared necklined top: I hope so

Everytime I draw, I watch Rin, she calms me and makes my drawing practice much easier. Especially when I get frustrated with what I'm drawing, she always gives tips and helps me through the drawing! Thanks Rin!

This is such a fun video! I like watching you go through your progress like this. Your sketching style is absolutely awesome. Personally I loved the sketch with them having their backs to the viewers the best, very interesting.

Lol me being lazy is Waffles drawing something in 30 seconds and Me trying is Waffles drawing something in 2 minute

Waffles: dis me when I'm not lazy. Me: *deepinside felt ashamed of my self* oh that's "LAZY"?

EVER SINCE I SAW YOUR VIDEO AT THE FIRST PLACE, I HAVEN'T MISSED ANY VIDEOS YOU UPLOADED, YOU REALLY ENCOURAGE ME TO DRAW MORE, FOUND MY OWN ART STYLE BECAUSE OF YOU, IAM SOO GLAD AND PROUD OF MYSELF. THANKS TO YOU WiffWaffles

RIN! OMG, you outdid yourself! I can't believe how amazing this piece of art is! I love the work and effort you put into it. You are such an inspiration!

Imagine being a member of Rin's family!

Your sketchbook is so aesthetically pleasing! I love how you layout your sketches and thumbnails to use every inch of the page! 💜

I love your difital layering style soo much! So unique! I reaally don't know how to thank you for the effort you put in your videos and (this one as well) I can only say that you really DID improve a lot and you are an amazing artist! And I have this "lazy I hate this phase of drawing" too. I don't really know yet how to help it exactly, but you helped me a lot with this video and seeing you struggle through the hard part really inspired me and gave me motivation! Don't get me wrong, I want you to enjoy every single part of making an illustration, but knowing that I'm not alone with this made me want to help it, really! Thank You, Rin, sosoo much! Thank you.

Wow! The end result is so creative!💫✨ ~a fellow Rin :)

Well those 2 people were so excited that they pressed the dislike button *by* *accident*

You’re videos are always so therapeutic. I love watching your videos when I’m stressed or lacking motivation to draw😊😊

I got to see drawing a complete piece digitally, yaaay! I'm really trying to up my digital art skills so this was amazing to watch! I feel like I've learned a lot. Thank you so much! Also, what a piece! I think it was definitely worth it! I love the composition, the color scheme, everything! You're just incredible, Rin! Thanks again for being such an inspiration! Love you! ♥

I feel you. I hate colouring and shading and like smoothening the art. I love to draw layer after layers of lines with a pencil or stylus or whatever...I am a sketcher too I guess. I just love when lines dominate the presence of colours. BTW huge fan of your art!

SINCE WHEN WAS WAFFLES LAZY HER QUOTE UN QUOTE “LAZY” WORK IS SOOOO GOOD WHAT IS IT. OW LAZY?

I'm so proud of you for pushing through! the finished result really looks beautiful, I hope it was worth the extra effort 💞I especially love the bit of purple-pink on the top wings!! :D

Watching Rin go through the challenges with art is really comforting. It's a nice reminder that everyone struggles with art no matter how skilled they are.

How. I cAnt even imagine trying to draw youre “lazy” style.

Imagine being a member Of her family!

I loved watching this video. It's fun hearing your thought process while you create art. The end result is great!

I really appreciated your honesty as you struggled with this process. It was helpful to see that even someone with as much experience in art, still battles the short cut issue. I also love how the parrot turned out.

25:03 Thats when she starts loosing it.... I feel bad for her but inspired, I rarely draw nowadays I've got my inspiration back now thanks to Waffles!! Also i dont understand how do people spend hours drawing?? I can sit for an hour before I loose it...

hey rin, i jusstt wanna to say that your art inspires me a lot, sometimes i'm in an art block, i watch your videos and i really have ideas to draw. your art style is amazing, the way u sketch, the way u colour, reaaaally gives me inspo. so thank u so much for doing this, aaand i appreciate it. love u

hey rin! 💜 dont be so hard on yourself! it already shows how mature of an artist you are to recognise flaws in your work, and its a step forward in improving! this drawing u did really shows how much ur effort paid off! it looks so great and i love how it looks in the end! 💜

This is one of my top favorite videos of yours! I normally don't like watching people struggle but when it comes to art it's so refreshing to see that even pro's struggle sometimes 😅 I truly appreciate that we were allowed to follow you on the whole journey with this lovely artpiece. I didn't really think you too hit that tough stage of being bored of it and just not liking it anymore in general. To me everything you do looks perfect so I didn't think you had those moments. This makes me want to revisit some of my old drawings that I gave up on. Obviously it's possible to just fight through it and create something amazing! ❤️

Rin : “no shortcuts.” Also Rin : *copy and paste.

Wow i've never been this early!! you posted this like seconds ago lol

I feel your struggle so much! You are NOT alone gurl! The process of making a painting is often so hard and there are challenges and everything sucks and that's not fun! :( But you came to such a great endresult, it looks great! Just keep pushing yourself, you're doing the right thing.

I need more Rin in my life. Rin is amazing. I can't even count how many times I've watched your videos over and over when falling asleep. I have PTSD and therefore a very hard time falling asleep, but your videos are so soothing and positive. Anywayyyyy! Just know you make a difference for someone with your videos 💜

You should find every copic marker you have that have a 19 on it and try to make something with them and call it the COPIC-19 challenge😂 Credits Bella thibulia?(im not sure abt the spelling but superr loved this ide by her)

I don’t know if you’ll see this waffles but hiiiii I love your content and you are an awesome artist😊

The end result is sooo beautiful and fun and I love the process! just made my day better now I'm feeling motivated thanks!

I love drawing along with your videos and making my own piece along the same lines, its kinda helped me get out of a couple blocks recently and I'm loving it

I’m literally only 10 seconds in and I can already tell it’s gonna be amazing! Well imma go watch it now 😂 love ya waffles 💜
