(I know Drawfee is a Youtube channel, but they're pretty podcast-adjacent and don't really have "shows", so I put this in RGD instead of TVIV)  Drawfee (originally "Morning Drawfee") is a collective of cool artists who draw improvisational art based on weird fan suggested prompts (like style mashups and trying to draw pop culture that they've never seen). Their art ranges from silly to incredibly impressive. They mostly came from CollegeHumor & Dorkly, but have been independent for over a year after the big CH layoff, and now rely on their Patreon. They also have a Drawfee Extra channel for occasional streams. Co-created by Nathan Yaffe (who is still on the channel) and Caldwell Tanner (who isn't), the current roster now Nathan, Karina Farek, Jacob Andrews and Julia Lepetit, as well as recurring guests. They're all cool, funny people with pretty varied styles, but typically Julia's is the one people talk about most because she has an insane talent for making what's in her head come alive (like the time she taught herself Blender just to do a speed drawing). They're not just great videos for artists, they're also really chill videos to put on in the background or watch at 2x speed. New episodes are usually posted on Tuesdays & Thursdays. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Mar 31, 2021 |

Drawfee rules and they are insanely talented to me, a person with no drawing ability. I think a good recent episode of theirs was their fast food mascot redesigns, it does a good job of differentiating the hosts' styles- https://youtu.be/439X1hJ_j9w

One of my favourite running gags is the audience getting Karina to draw different iterations of Hatsune Miku. I personally contributed Wombatsune Miku. As for Secret Sleepover Society, the all-time highest highlight has to be “Oh, Hitman...!”

I just watched the Fighting Foodons (short-lived Pokemon knock-off) episode and it's probably in the running for most cursed Drawfee ep. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it before- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2lR1TYFl7s

Drawfee also has some of their twitch and or patreon stuff uploaded on thier other channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpKaZzU4K8X6i-9TXkiRikA/featured The variety hour shows were glorious fever dreams, and the "boys" episode is the best of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RowdBk4H62Q

I never liked the variety shows, to be honest. Not sure why, exactly. Their newest episode on designing eeveelutions was very on brand. That is, they drew terrible things to behold.

I've been putting episodes on in the background while I do other stuff for the last week or so and really enjoyed them, so thanks for making the thread. I'd heard Caldwell mention it throughout the NaDDPod stuff, but just never bothered to try it for whatever reason. Quick question after this week's Eevielution episode: do they regularly grouse about YouTube comment behaviour now? I think this is the first episode less than 6 months old I've watched, and it just found it quite annoying. Not that they did much or anything, but a YouTuber I used to watch a lot of videos from bitched a lot in his podcasts about YouTube comments and the behaviour of some of the more obsessive fans and it's just made me weary (and wary, I guess) of that behaviour. I'm assuming it's fairly isolated given I haven't heard them say a peep about it before in any of the few dozen videos I've watched, but worth asking.

The Drawfee crew is just, like, ridiculously positive so if they’re grousing about something like that it’s most likely a bit they’re doing. Jacob in particular plays at being antagonistic towards the fan base, but it never feels like more than good-natured foolery. The one exception is that Karina does get anxious about too many people overstepping on Twitter, which I think is 100% valid, anyways.

Yea most times it's just them being playfully antagonistic with the fans to be all 'oh god you messed up an obscure nerd detail, THE COMMENTS ARE GONNA EAT YOU ALIVE YOU FOOL'. They do sometimes get real but like said that tends to be more obvious like Karina being all 'no but really it's weird when fans try to overstep just because they think following me on twitter means they're somehow tight with me' which is, yea pretty obviously a fair thing to say.

It doesn’t help that Karina apparently gets a lot of negative poo poo on Twitter. Like, equal parts people trashing her and infantilizing her. It’s to the point that they had to delete her page from the Drawfee wiki because people were just being straight up creepy and malicious.

Karina was in a lot of the initial videos I watched, but absent from most of the ones I've watched over the last two days or so. Which is kind of a bummer, since I think she adds a good bit of character to the show. She has a really infectious laugh, and tends to end almost every sentence with a laugh because she's having so much fun with whatever they're doing. She seems to have a good rapport with everyone. Videos that are just Nathan, Jacob and Julia (or the lore master on videos to make Marvel/DC stuff) are still really good, but having Karina around too seems to add that little something. Strangely, I've only seen Caldwell on one video. Well, two, since I watched the first episode of Drawga too, but that's almost it's own little thing. I presume he left several years ago now? Edit: Wait, Karina doesn't know know who Columbo is? She a babby  This whole discussion is pretty gold, with Julia insisting that she and Jacob watch some Columbo later and Jacob just sighing "yeah, that's probably not going to happen; there's just too much poo poo to watch". And Nathan just drawing away in the background, glad that everyone else is preoccupied because it's more relaxing to draw when the others aren't watching him the whole time. tsob fucked around with this message at 19:47 on May 9, 2021 |

I love how they'll do crazy goofy poo poo for weeks on end that kind of hides some of their talents, but then every once in a while they'll pull out an episode like Turning Famous Paintings Into Anime from a couple weeks ago, where all four of them just bust out AMAZING ART. Usually it's in the ones where they just comment over a speed recording because the paintings took them like 8 hours each, but they're always winners.

The speed drawing episodes are my favourite ever. When they start with a blank canvas with a big play button on top you know it’s going to be great. And I love how they’ve all been really challenging themselves during this pandemic. Jacob in particular talked quite often about how he tends to stick to his cartoony style, but then the “Painting Love, Actually Characters as Demon Souls Bosses” came along and he’s pushing himself to do full-on digital painting and it’s amazing. And then there’s Julia and Blender...

One of my favourite running gags is the audience getting Karina to draw different iterations of Hatsune Miku. I personally contributed Wombatsune Miku. I'd just like to add to this, because the Secret Sleepover Society episode for Game of Life 2 showed up in my feed as the next video after some Drawfee episodes, and I started it without even realizing it and really enjoyed it. Mind you, once I realized it was the second of two videos I stopped and watched the first. There's not really any major need, but some injokes carry over. Julia and Jacob play Game of Life against 2 computer opponents, Paige & Gonzo, and Jacob gets really, really annoyed at Gonzo because Gonzo keeps loving him over throughout the first few attempts at the game. Which is referenced in the second stream, where Karina and Nathan join them for a 4 player Drawfee play. The episodes are fun to listen to the cast bounce off each other, but I also watched the Journey episode that popped into my feed, because I loved Journey when it came out and the Secret Sleepover Society episode about it is fantastic. Journey is a pretty simple game that's mostly about the experience, but has a multiplayer gimmick where someone else playing the same area will be paired up with you if you have the option switched on. At which point the only way you can interact is through bleeps, but being close to the other person makes your flight energy recharge so the game encourages you and some other random player to stick together. Which is really nice. The first person they run into is lovely though, and constantly guides them to secrets, and the two of them get really attached to this person. Which makes it rather melancholic when they switch levels, since there's a chance the other person might not be paired up with them. The ending of the episode is amazing though, and one of the only instances I can think of where a spoiler warning might be necessary for a single episode stream. So if any of that sounds good, don't click the box because I do want to ask a question related to the ending on the off-chance someone else has also seen it and knows an answer: Julia and Jacob mention playing Journey with GoddessDancer again at some point to see more glitches in the game etc, but I don't see anything in the YouTube channel. The channel is maintained by a fan though, from what they say in the episode. Did they ever do another Journey episode with GoddessDancer, in the end? Also, is there any way to see older episodes on Twitch? I'm not terribly familiar with it, only really using it to watch Critical Role, but there only seem to be a couple of weeks worth of content in the videos section and the YouTube channel is all 480p. Which is fine for something like Game of Life, but Journey is a pretty enough game I'd love to see them playing it in full HD. tsob fucked around with this message at 22:22 on May 16, 2021 |
