If I had a nickel for every time I've said "I am mature about butts, mom!"...I would throw them at people at the food court. Like from that railing, up above.

[levyjardim]

I just love your accent! I'm gonna start watching your vids to try to get a bit of it.. regards from brazil!

[MaryVanGils]

@levyjardim ahaha, well it's not really an awesome accent, but thanks =P

[ellepell13]

"i'm mature about butts, mom, okay? so you just take your giggling and you can just leave."

i lol'd.

i enjoyed seeing your improvements! yay mary!

[MaryVanGils]

@ellepell13 haha it makes me way too happy when someone laughs at something I say in a video. =D

I'm glad you liked it!

[purplepanda11]

[MaryVanGils]

@purplepanda11 I love the happy. =)

[RebyDaRebel]

I missed you lovely person!:)I see a huge difference, great job!:)

[MaryVanGils]

@RebyDaRebel aw, thanks miss! =)

[DigigirlAshley]

yay for randomness :)

I'm such a lazy artist :-/ I mainly use 3D digital tools(Maya) to help produce artwork, or lack thereof, lol I should sketch more, as I know I could be better & not sucky at it. You've just inspired me to go and make myself a sketch book, and start drawing :) x

[MaryVanGils]

@DigigirlAshley I want to try some digital stuff someday, but my heart will always be with traditional art ^_^

You really should sketch more! Practice helps so much. I hope you do go and draw now, that would be great <3

[4everisntEnuff]

do u do sketches of ppl from imagination?

[MaryVanGils]

@4everisntEnuff I haven't been lately, but all of my older art before I started this sketch book was straight from my imagination. I like working that way, but I'm really trying to get better at being realistic and I can't be realistic if I don't have a picture to look at haha.

[MaryVanGils]

@VoodooSounds No ducks =( I will get them someday!

[GreatMindsGRH]

YOU'RE AMAZING, I LOVED THE NAKED PERSON, IS AMAZING AND CLASSY

[MaryVanGils]

@GreatMindsGRH Thank youuu. =)

[jonesy9610]

wow your talent is so vast and you have improved and keep the vids comin

[MaryVanGils]

@jonesy9610 Thanks! The videos shall indeed keep coming. 

[indieVISUALmaddy]

When you were talking about improving it reminded me of this project I set up called the indieVISUAL Journal Challenge where you draw EVERYDAY for a year. Even if its not very good; something a day will help you improve tenfold. You should try it and see where it takes you.

I'm really enjoying your new work so keeep it up <3

[MaryVanGils]

@indieVISUALmaddy That's a really good idea! I've tried drawing everyday but I never end up sticking to it. I would really like to do a 'draw something everyday for a year' type of project sometime, but I don't feel like I'm up to that quite yet. My confidence and inspiration is lacking haha.

I'm happy you like the newer work! =)

[indieVISUALmaddy]

@MaryVanGils I didn't feel like I was up to it but here I am, over half way through the year having drawn ALMOST every day. Plenty of others have joined in too. I make it like a little diary some days. Well I'll keep my eyes peeled incase you ever do start!

[4svennie]

Great drawings, I'm sorry I haven't seen these ones till now. Love that, 'I'm mature about butts mom!', admittedly I'm not so much mature about them, but I appreciate them all the same. Lol.

[MaryVanGils]

@4svennie hahaha, it's okay. Butts still make me laugh from time to time =P

Glad you like the drawings!

[zerothreegreen]

and he responded yes and walked off afterwards lmao

[zerothreegreen]

your drawings are always amazing! :D and you've improved a lot!! :)

alsoooo I thought of something funny when you were talking about your family walking in when you were drawing a naked lady haha. a few people from my class were in the library doing their assignments and they spotted a young male looking up naked women for art... hahaha. he zoomed up on the parts and everything. a lady in my class who is really upfront approached him and asked him if he was doing homework! :P busteddd

[MaryVanGils]

@zerothreegreen hahaha. Being an artist is difficult when the general public think badly of us for looking up naked people on the internet D=

[pehealaeponoai]

itʻs like...ok

[MaryVanGils]

@pehealaeponoai Like...yeah.

[pehealaeponoai]

@MaryVanGils ps very nice drawings

[MaryVanGils]

@ChaoticCr33p haha Mr. Nose is a popular guy. ^_^

[Scooterbugdoodle]

Okay so umm... I LOVE YOUR ART!!! I love your more realistic art! PLEASE post more of your art in your shop... cause you knows i like! I like A LOT!

[MaryVanGils]

@Scooterbugdoodle Thank you! I'm glad you like my art =) I will seriously try and put some more art up in my shop soon.

[yellowbeamoflight]

Your drawing has improved so much! But, I really do like your original pictures in the beginning. Very unique.

[MaryVanGils]

@yellowbeamoflight haha yes, I like my original style too, I just don't like how basic it was. I'll eventually get back to more of a unique style once I'm actually decent at drawing. =P

[OutcastAngelV]

youre drawiings are very pretty, i like the style you draw in, its unique...

[MaryVanGils]

@OutcastAngelV Thank you! I'm glad you like them.

[MaryVanGils]

@critterspun baha. Maybe next time I can hit 1,000. That would be an even greater success.

[lifeXXwithoutXXcolor]

I'll never tire of seeing ur fantastic artwork... ur so gifted that i can only look on with envy... sorry

[MaryVanGils]

@lifeXXwithoutXXcolor Aw, thanks. The artwork has a very long way to go though, so don't be too envious haha.

[MartianSnow]

I love your drawings, they are really good, keep it up

[MaryVanGils]

@MartianSnow Thanks! Glad you like them =)

[Coolkidwithahat]

People have a tendicy to walk in when naked people are on the screen...

[MaryVanGils]

@Coolkidwithahat I laughed out loud. Yes, yes they do. It's like they KNOW, somehow. o_o

[Coolkidwithahat]

@MaryVanGils My theory is there's a hidden camera in the computer that they're always watching so it's convenient for them to "happen"to walk in at the right time...

[ShutUpChago]

Master is so proud.

[ShutUpChago]

Except for those tiny ears.

[MaryVanGils]

@ShutUpChago It's not my fault you weren't there to yell at me. |=<

[MaryVanGils]

@ShutUpChago I...I don't know how to respond. Approval? What is this? Where am I?

O_O

<3

[thereversepolarbear]

[MaryVanGils]

@thereversepolarbear Thanks! Yeah, definitely a lot of hours poured into those little pages haha.
