Favorite YouTube Artists

Hello dearest readers! :D
   I'm going to be honest. This is a rather quick, easy post for me. I have a bang crazy TON of crochet orders at the moment, and I mean a BANG CRAZY TON. As in, two Mabel sweaters, a Merlin, a Hiccup and Toothless and a jet plane that I'm currently finishing up with. Might not seem like much in writing, but it's lot. Especially the sweaters. Even more especially when you've already made, I don't know, six? They're all kind of running together at this point.
   So yeah. I'm a little busy, but the Etsy is going well!! :D My shop name is Magestic Makery if you wanna check it out. I sell crochet junk and some artsy things, and if you shoot me a message I'm totally up for doing crochet and/or art commissions. *Insert shameless shop promotion*
   But how are you guys? I hope you're doing well, I truly, truly do.
   For my post this week, as you may have guessed from the title, I'm going to be sharing my top 3 favorite YouTube artists.
   What brought this on?
   Eh, I don't really know. I'm really wanting to start an art channel on YouTube, but I've gotta upgrade my laptop first (which should hopefully be happening tomorrow, hehheh), and then we can start doing that. I've already got a nice camera, a tripod and a decent-ish set up, so I'm really just waiting on that. Also, a new laptop will mean I can really start getting into digital art since I'll actually be able to download a nice program. So yes, very much excite. :P
   I'm not subscribed to a lot of YouTube artists at the moment, to be completely honest. I've only recently really started getting involved in this community, and I'm pumped to keep finding awesome artists! But these are some really great artists with some really awesome personalities, and I thought I'd share some of them with you. :D

1. Doodle Date

Guysguysguys, if you haven't heard of Doodle Date or watched their stuff you've gotta. You've gotta. I mean, the cutest channel EVER. IN THE HISTORY OF EVER.
   It consists of Adam and Stephanie, a couple that get together and film super cute art videos every week. They each draw a picture and they have the cutest styles and they are just so cute! Just go watch one their videos, gogogo.
   Here's one of their recent ones to get you started..




2. Jellie Bee

SUCH CUTEST STYLE, GUYS!!!!!!! Agh, her art is just lovely! She does a lot of work with ink and copics and digital. Lovelylovelylovely!!
   I've never actually watched Steven Universe, but this picture of hers is just so gorgeous, so yes, watch it. *Drools*



3. Kattvalk

I haven't actually been subscribed to her for very long, but I may have gone back and watched her videos up until a few months ago, so.... Yeah. She is amazing! She's got such a lovely style!!!!  Go check out this video to get you started. 



So, yes!!! That's about it for this post. :D Hope you all enjoyed and feel free to share some of your favorite YouTube artists with me. 

Have a spectacular week! Hopefully I won't have drowned in crochet projects by the next time I post. :P

WE ARE LIVING IN AN AGE OF MIRACLES!!!!!!!!!!

HEY GUYS, SUPER QUICK POST TO INFORM YOU ALL OF SOME VERY IMPORTANT NERDY NEWS!!!!!
 
((I HAVE SERIOUSLY BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT THESE FOR AWHILE NOW, I JUST....))

So first off.
One of my favorite book series of all bloomin' time is The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson. Seriously, guys. Pretty much the best books ever.
   Mr. Peterson had a Kickstarter for the fourth book in the series, The Warden and the Wolf King. I reeeaaallllyyy wanted to participate, but I had no money.
   None.
   But I mean, my support wasn't really needed seeing as how they succeeded over and above the goal by leaps and bounds. And I was able to get the big fold out map, Pembrick's Creaturepedia, and "My Love Has Gone Across the Sea" in the end. Anywho, yadda yadda ya, this is not the best part.

Guys.

GUYS.

Finally, after months and years of waiting, there is something spectacular coming for these books.
IT'S AN ANIMATED SERIES FOR ALL FOUR OF THE BOOKS, THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!
    I have seriously wanted this for soooo long, and it is finally happening! And I can actually be a part of it!!!! WAAAGGGGGHHHH, I AM NOT LYING WHEN I SAY I'VE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT THIS FOR DAYS!!!!!!!!
   Hereherehere, go click on the link, read about, give all of your money toward it. If you haven't read the books, GO READ THEM RIGHT NOW!!!

P.S. Ahem, actually, I also started a Fanfiction account if anyone's interested. That means I probably won't be posting anymore fanfiction on here unless I'm really proud of it or something, heheh. So here's one more link to that. https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7598088/ZeGreatM
