I have never thought about buying an easel, but I am realizing that it would be the perfect thing to help me both get at better angle for filming, and for my back! Thank you for making this video, I never would have thought about it if you hadn't!

You really inspire me to keep my dream as illustrator i almost gave up because of my art i was told by many ppl my art is too generic and ppl wont buy it but im still learning and developing and i havent even started school yet but iam real soon and i heard from many artist once you start off you be making lil to nothing and i dont wont to be struggling im tired of i been doin it all my life i want a career where i can make a comfortable living and watching your videos gave me hope in my decision to stay as a illustrator (i dont have much of a support system everybody want me to be a nurse idk y) but hopefully i can make as a illustrator... thank you holly 😘

Hey there, I've been watching your videos for a while but don't comment that often, but just wanted to say I love all your videos, they have such a calming and relaxing quality to them which is totally unique to you. I love to have your videos on while drawing. And really enjoy seeing your daily life. So thank you for sharing. <333

Another great video. Thanks for talking about your desk and table easel. I might need to save up and invest in those. My desk is beginning to make it impossible to concentrate on my art.

i think when my husband move from our apartment and to a house (some day) i'll be investing in a standing desk; they look great and i know i get really fussy sitting all day and can feel it in my back. I love the electric one it's fantastic!
Thanks for sharing your equipment :D

Reminds me of the Orbital Easel, awesome product as well.

Muchas gracias, Holly! Este video es super útil! Los datos que das y compartes son muy necesarios. Además, tu voz es muy agradable de escuchar. En general disfruto muchos tus videos y te has convertido en una referente artística para mí (Soy estudiantes de Artes Visuales). Un gran abrazo!

Thank you very much, Holly! This video is super useful! The data you give and share are very necessary. Also, your voice is very pleasant to listen to. In general I enjoy many of your videos and you have become an artistic reference for me (I am a visual art student). Big hug!

Just watching you paint inspired me to stock up on my workspace gear. Haven't the money or space for this glorious desk right now, but I bought an ikea stool to put it on my desk so I can at least stand when I'm editing pictures :D. My back is already thanking you!

Thanks for this video! I just bought the easel, I used to put my board against the edge of my desk so I don't break my back leaning over my drawing, but this seems much more practical!

That easel looks like a game changer, I will have to look into getting one. Thank you for sharing this info!

[bentooh]

Thank you for this video! This gave me great ideas if I'm gonna build up my studio in the future. You and Fran are such inspirations to me. Also, I love listening to you talk because you sound so calming. <3 <3

Thanks to you Holly I bought the same tripod, thank you so so much for the recommendation!!!! It's so nice to finally be able to invest in good equipment 🙃🤤

[monbaum]

You have convinced me to get this table and the easel. Goodbye back pain!

[rainsantillan]

A new subriber! Been bingingy your videos for the past hour! Glad to see you just upload! 💖💖💖

Great discussion, Holly! I bought the same IKEA desk a while back, but mine is the manual crank version. It's great, since I mostly use it in the lower position. Of course, in hindsight, I wish I'd bought the electric one for convenience, but hey, at least I'm getting exercise (13 cranks is exhausting!). Always good to see a new video and you present yourself and your space quite professionally, here, which was nice to see. Really like the "hands" top, too... something my wife might wear! lol! All the best and thank you! Cheers! :)

[BonBonMaedchen]

Today bought the easle you recommended in this video! So excited! Someday a stand desk will follow. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge here :)

[Lelliefish]

Thank you so much for sharing Holly. I always enjoy watching your videos :)

[edpavez]
