TEACHING MYSELF HOW TO DRAW|| Learn how to draw with me

Hello, dear friends!

I've long wanted to learn how to draw and recently, I've found that teaching myself how to draw is a wonderful escape from all the chaos of the world right now. I'm still very much a beginner and am loving how freeing it is to just start and see how I do (no expectations or high standards to reach). Would you care to learn to draw with me? I will keep you posted as I learn!

I hope this video has been a welcome distraction-- I will soon be posting a weekend vlog as well!

I've felt alllll of the emotions this week and it's taken great effort to stay positive, but we WILL get through this. I hope each and everyone of you and your loved ones is safe and well-- you are not alone, and everything will be okay 💛

BIG hugs,
Morgan

One day you’ll be illustrating a magical little book, Mo! Keep rocking it. I love you and your creativity!

I honestly started tearing up when I saw the Anne quote, because after watching just three of your videos, I feel like I relate to you so much, and that just confirmed my suspicions. Thank you, I want to read, travel and draw so much more now!

You inspired me to go out and get this book and a little sketchbook and start drawing. I’m having so much fun! Even though I’m not great, it’s fun to draw and be creative.

And now you are an artist! Congratulations for learning it yourself! 🤗

I'm a new subscriber, here. I'm currently breezing through all of your videos, loving and missing Portland with each episode (especially the ones where you go to Powell's.). I used to live in the Pearl. I so very much miss walking to Powell's, Blicks, all the little cafes, bakeries, restaurants and parks nearby. I'm so happy I found your channel. And I'm dreaming of a time when I can return to the city of roses (and the city of books.)

That is such a cool drawing book! Go you! 👩🏼‍🎨🎨

[amybunner]

Oh goodness....you are inspiring me!! I want this book so badly now!

[stefbaptista]

The part with Roo absolutely warmed my heart. 💛 Can’t wait to see more of your magical illustrations :)

I’ve started drawing more often too! Both on my brother’s iPad and in a sketchbook, and it’s nice to practice something and see your skills progress as you draw more and more !

Your dog is literally hitting you with love!😂😂😂so cute♥️

[tamar]

I'm so glad you shared your artwork! It looks so pretty! I can see your art style being in a book or a "getting cozy" planner with inspiring quotes! Keep it up. :)

AHHHH I LOOOVE THIS!! I wish I watched this in the morning rather than late out night because right now I am feeling SO inspired & I want to create magical things but I have to go bed T.T
I am looking forward to seeing how your drawing progresses!! <3

[juliafieger]

I'm doing the same! My husband is VERY artistic so over the years I haven't even tried -- but I'm giving it a go now and going for "whimsical." (you have a whimsical style...not cartoony, wink wink)

[GinaHouse]

I love, love, love your drawings! I am in the same situation - I can't draw at all and I had given up hope of trying to illustrate the children's book I'm writing...until seeing your video. I think I'm going to get this book and give it one more shot! Your Procreate drawings are MAGICAL! But, I still think that your hand drawn pen/pencil/marker drawings are adorable and super worthy of all the love! :D Thank you!!

Me encanta lo coloridos que son tus dibujos. ¡Dile a Roo que tiene que mantener la distancia! :P Un abrazo enorme y reconfortante para ti también.

6:09 the lil Roo drawing! Adorable
Keep having fun with it :)

[barbiebrodecki]

👏😁...you go girl!! You are doing a great job 😘

[RoisinsReading]

I've been practicing doodling in procreate too, using my practice to illustrate my vlogs. I was particularly proud of the roses I drew to illustrate The Mirror and The Light, and I've been doing really basic animation with it all

I'm loving what I see in this book!! Might just have to get a copy to use with my kids for our homeschool after we finish working through the drawing book we have right now <3

[stefanieteichert]

Hey dear Morgan, beautiful drawings that you create. The most important thing is to have fun and be satisfied with it. Or, it is so! What are you reading right now I started "An Enchantment of ravens" yesterday and I couldn't stop reading. It is absolutely awesome. I went to page 105 last night. And I'm looking forward to reading further tonight. I don't know, do you know that 'magical' feeling in a book, and you know it's written for you. A heart book will. An absolute highlight. Yes, and that's exactly how I feel about this book. 🙂😊 I would be happy about a video where you show us your heart books 💞🌻 Greetings Steffi and I raise my tea cup for you too 🙂
