You looked really pretty in this video! You look pretty in every video, but especially so in this one! And obviously, a beautiful painting once again!

[hbllop123]

6 people didn't go to pluto

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@hbllop123 BAHAHA! Too bad. They missed out. ;-)

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@zammiechan I do have DA. I have a link to it on my mail website.

[Mladen1kus]

What kind of lubricant/luqid are you using on the paper before drawing? I'm curious since it's the first time that i see someone use that and i want to try it myself, but i just dont know what it is. :) Thanks in advance.

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@Mladen1kus It's just 100% H20, nothing special at all. Just water! Good Luck!

[Mladen1kus]

@MissLeilaniJoy So basically you have to let the drawing dry for 2hours(just guessing though :D) or more before doing anything else with it? :) Thanks once again :P

[Viickyofc]

i never leave comments, but i realy liked this ;)

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@Viickyofc Thank you! I'm honored to have earned one from you! ^__^

[akiru91]

OMG! YOUR ART IS GETTING BETTER & BETTER! I'm jealous.. LOL

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@akiru91 Don't be jealous! Get busy! It's the fastest way to get better. :-)

[TheRorocool123]

Ahhhh i can trust myself i just keep saying i cant do it so thats why i cant do it O.o

[AlfredxArthur26]

Uhm.. I'm sorry if I'm a bother for asking this, but, what kind of paper do you use for watercolours? I can't seem to find a high quality type of paper for my watercolour art..

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@AlfredxArthur26 They should have many options for at almost any art store. I recommend buying a watercolor block if you are a beginner. Check out my video entitled Tools of Trade for more information about this! Good luck!

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@wildcats3010 I'm not sure what you mean..... I showed exactly how I did it in this video. I'm not familiar with marydoodles or her technique but I'm using watercolors. Good luck.

[viritokio]

omg you´re so awesome :D

[enolakebor]

Would you like an Irish passport?... gateway to europe, we'd let you wear the wigs! ;)

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@enolakebor YES!

[enolakebor]

@MissLeilaniJoy I've made the arrangments already my families leprechaun servant will grab you with its satchel and bring you back to our grotto... So if any strange short men start following you don't worry, you're in safe hands! ...Actually better get your dress size too???

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@enolakebor Bahahaha!

[monkfan72]

Impressive! 

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@monkfan72 Thank you!

[GambushC10]

do you have an old sketchbook that you can ,ake a vid of? I would ove to see it i hope all the pics in there are handrawn...

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@GambushC10 I'll take a look..... It would be fun to show you guys how my work has changed. Not sure what you mean by "hope it's all hand drawn." All my work is hand drawn as you see in my vids. :-)

[GambushC10]

i posted it on your facebook wall

[GambushC10]

im made a girl named feocia that was inspired by your rihanna i hope u like it, love comfort by leilani!

[ilacirpianojr]

very criative!! nice work!!!

[TwinkyBro]

awesome man! hey what type of watercolor paper did you use?

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@TwinkyBro You know, I'm not that paticular. As long as it's cold press and fairly smooth I'll buy whatever is on sale. :-x

[TwinkyBro]

@MissLeilaniJoy thanks ^^

[GAXxJUNAIDxXGA]

do you like dry the paper and after the ink dries you scan it coz even if it tries the colour doesent come in the scanner properly

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@GAXxJUNAIDxXGA You must allow it to dry before adding layers or scanning.

[skrappy1980]

Absolutely loved this image!! Thanks for sharing your art :) Also, is that just water that you put down first for the inks to flow along?

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@skrappy1980 Thank you so much! Yes, it's just water. ^___^

[Laps22]

Your artwork is so fresh :D I do have one question, when I scan in my work it can sometimes turn out to look quite washed out, especially watercolours. What make of scanner do you use? :)

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@Laps22 My scanner isn't particularly good actually, but it's an older Brother Brand all-in-one scanner printer fax. You may need to check the settings on your scanner or perhaps your original art needs to have more contrast. I do color correct my scans in photoshop after scanning.

[Laps22]

@MissLeilaniJoy Thank you very much :)

I can't stop watching this video, very inspiring! ^^

[KimmmPamela]

WHAT PENS DID YOU USE? :)

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@KimmmPamela Hi! In this piece I used Sakura Pigma Micron Pens for the inking, and Prisma Color Markers for the color work. Good Luck!

[FreaklessEvolution]

At first the blob looks like two smirking faces, like they had an idea and their idea is connected and turning colorful, fun and vivid. Now the intense urge to draw it turning in me!

By the way what's the name of the song and artist. It's really cool! And finally, nice work, it's beautiful.:)

[MegaLolita93]

OMG YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME LOVE YA GIRL KEEP GOING...SORRY BAD ENGLISH IF I WROTE SOMETHING BAD =) <3

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@MegaLolita93 Thank you so much!

[whitbyjet65]

It amazes me how young people don't know how to hold a pen/brush/pencil properly. There IS a correct way that means the user has perfect balance and control over his tool. People come out of school these days holding pencils & pens in the same way a monkey grips a banana.

[Evee103]

@whitbyjet65 Tell that to Huang Guofu. He has no arms and paints with his feet.

[cruzjuvenal01]

Wow, that was fuckin amazing, really turned out beautiful. Please make more?

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@cruzjuvenal01 I will! ^__^

[accuzzteedurm]

can anyone please tell me the name of the song?

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@accuzzteedurm It says right next to the video with a link to itunes, but it's called Pluto Drive by The Creatures.

[MissCharlotteNielsen]

I can't stop smiling when I look at you! What a carisma!! :-) And of course what a lovely picture!

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@MissCharlotteNielsen Aw thank you Charlotte! <3

[curtiswilliams1000]

Ur super talented!! just a natural!!

[LivLivJM]

what pens did you use for the drawing part? Awesome job btw!

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@LivLivJM Thank you so much! I used Sakura Pigma Micron Pens for the inking, and Prisma Color Markers for the color work. Good Luck!

[alternativewow]

haha u're funny! nice job!

[yaoifangirlookami12]

You should definetly get a deviantart!

[MissBunnyElectric]

@yaoifangirlookami12 Just in case you haven't seen her deviantART yet, just search LeilaniJoy in the search bar on dA, you'll see her art there. :3

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@yaoifangirlookami12 Hi! I actually do have one! You can find me at LeilaniJoy Dot Deviant Art Dot Com!!!

[Hannibalscousin]

The work would be much better if you removed the Manga element from it.

P.s you look hot in the blue wig.

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@Hannibalscousin I like Manga though and it's big influence in my artistic style. I wish I did have blue hair though!

[OutMagic]

you could definitely pull off that transformation :D your absolutely beautiful, you suit blue very well ^_^

[jkkashee]

šukézní samička :D

[zoeb95]

hey david here! just wondering before you painted this did you lay out water or glue?

[Kiryuu0Zero]

@zoeb95 lol, it'll be funny if you use glue with water color, hell no, it's water!

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@Kiryuu0Zero hehehe, it would be too sticky!

[Kiryuu0Zero]

@MissLeilaniJoy mhm

[MissLeilaniJoy]

@zoeb95 It's purely water on watercolor paper. ^_^
