You are SO inspirational! The amount of shear motivation and talent which went into this sketchbook is truly remarkable! Your style is so consistent and beautiful and you can really tell you put a bit of yourself in every page. Also, the fact you can create amazing art while having fun? I am in awe! I absolutely love how you can critique your art in areas you want to improve on - it’s a very positive mindset as well as a skill! Thank you for inspiring me to make my own art and helping other artists out there! ❤

I love the glow you give to translucent objects and whites. The ikea lamp is GORGEOUS. You definitely inspired me to try colerase.

8:30 Being self critical is part of being an artist. People pay good money in art school to have professors critique their paintings so they can learn to critique themselves.

This sketchbook tour was lovely! I follow many artists on social media, but there is only a handful that I actively look up every week to see what new content they've uploaded. You became one of those artists VERY quickly. Your art inspires me so much, I even bought the col-erase pencils because I wanted to start practicing color but I'm too scared to use regular colored pencils. Keep up the good work! I know I enjoy it a ton! Greetings from Chile 💜

I just watch the how to colour potraits with gouache. I love how you blend the colours with colours that aren't traditionally found in skin like grey, blues and green with actual skin colour to add dimension in your portraits. You do the same with your coloured pencils and I am going to watch that video next. I love that style and what you're doing with your stuff.

Your art is gorgeous! I'm getting back into art after a few years away, struggling with stuff. I realized for me that art does not happen in a vacuum. I need and find inspiration and joy from seeing others processes and happened to stumble on this video while tumbling down the art rabbithole. How you use colored pencils is really amazing and not something I've really seen before!

“I gave myself permission to let go and do whatever I wanted” - this right here. Powerful quote because it’s something I struggle with a lot as an artist! I often feel so anxious when starting a new sketchbook because I feel like whatever I’m going to put in it has to be great 😂

oh my gosh! this is just incredible! a goal of mine for 2024 is to actually utilize a sketchbook. for some reason my brain wants any art piece I make to be a completed work if that makes sense, but clearly gorgeous gorgeous art exists in sketchbooks and I really want to practice the skill. also aww at 10:38 she looks like gretel from the sound of music so cute

your highlights are so soft, do you blend alot (like you mentioned with tissue?) to blend the edges of the highlights? the way you've created the softness is lovely but also makes an impact

i have questions, please? (sorry) ok so i'm a watercolor/gouache girl and i'm learning an ancient french oil painting method (notably Bourgereau) which i like because of the richness of the render, but the chemistry of oil paints is such a hassle - there is a lot of siccants and mediums involved to have a 2 weeks full cure time (per layer) and different working texture times as it dries (2-3 hours block in, 2-3 hours smooth af render and fanning, rinse and repeat, block by block with a technique to be able to continue work on the painting without it making a huge oily mess. 3-4 days straight at least for bigger paintings) i have a hard time keeping up with such a marathon and not messing up but the final products are amazing when done well, like you can reach inside the painting it's so lifelike, semi-opaque layers interacting with each other very subtly. but i really dislike how to handle oils and how it doesn't react with water like i'd want it too, how you can't have a good wash, only glazes. i would like to know how acryl gouache fare compared to that. how long is the drying time with the retardant medium? can you smooth it out with fan brushes when it's like semi dry? does it dry matte or glossy? is it a huge hassle to clean up? can you do decent washes with it? what is the difference between acryl gouache and acrylics, and gouache? i'm kinda confused even when asking google. i'd like some feedback on this if anyone can. i'm very curious and interested in this medium but quite poor. xD

Ah! WWDITS was my favorite page.

I'm thinking that any one of those on a foot by foot canvas and signed would sell at a local gallery. Even if you could get a local cafe to display them with a price on them. Just fun to connect the art with the commercial world. You have a record of them on video.. so the best of both worlds. You might need to connect with a NY gallery to get better prices than locally. I just like the idea of getting art objects to the homes of people who treasure them.

Do you leave Colerase or graphite drawings as is, or do you use a fixative?

Hi Emily!!! I was looking in to buying a my first Moleskine but I don’t know what the texture is… is it really smooth/no texture or is it almost sandy-like? I bought a sketchbook online and it’s really smooth. A little too smooth for my liking and I love a textured page for painting n stuffs. I’m sorry to bother, I just don’t wanna spend a lot of money on a sketchbook I can’t paint in!!!

Whenever I sketch with a reference I get lost so I've tried breaking it down into simple shapes but it always ends up looking off. Any tips?
