Bravo for those deeply felt portraits of your mom. A beautiful tribute. And the nature studies are all so inspiring.

I'm probably not the only one who cried

Not that long ago taking pictures of deceased family members was very normal and probably therapeutic for those left. I find this a far more intimate and beautiful tribute; especially since she gave you your love for art. A very fitting and beautiful final tribute. Bless you for sharing.

I just found my favorite KZreadr.

Cool video. Thanks. I sketched my mom on her deathbed too - 93years. And she was the source of my creativity...

I looked up this due to your interview with Stan Prokopinko at the Zoo in Calif. I'm so glad that I did. I love your honest enthusiasm for both art and life. Your sketches touched me.

Absolutely beautiful. It was very touching to see those beautiful images of your mom and granddaughter. I’d love to reach your level one day

Aaron S thank you

The last sketches really made me tear up.

I found this vid to be so moving and as an artist I never looked at my sketchbooks in this way, thanks for this gift.

I want to thank you for this video. My 9 year old hates writing because it’s not very easy for her due to a language disorder. However she loves art and wants to work for Disney. She got a ton of art supplies and sketchbooks for Christmas and has started putting writing with her drawings today. Hopefully she continues

Thank you very much

I live in Bogotá and i like your channel.

as a person that aspires to be an animator, this video is showing me a way of living that i've always found very healthy. Time consuming on one hand, but therapeutic on the other hand. To be able to grasp a moment with your eyes and your mind, is literally like entering a whole other world... like meditating in action

I sketched my mom too a few days before she passed away while in hospice...I wish I had done more! You are so right about it being apart of who you are and your life!

i didn't expect i'd cry before watching this video thank you Aaron!

aaron is the dad i never had i appreciate you making these

Beautiful that sketching your mum at the end of her life gave you respite from feeling trauma - So very personal and such a gift

KZread needs a button so I can like the video 10,000 times. And I might have shed a few tears... Very emotional.

You such a good and honest man. Keep it up brother.

Watching this again a few years later and still inspiring 🙏🏻

I'm new to painting. Took a watercolor class 3 months ago and I was hooked. Retired from teaching last June so I have a lot of time to put to my new "hobby". This video on sketchbooks opened up a new avenue for me to better my work. Thank you. I also wanted to thank you for sharing the story with your mother. It was meaningful to me for many reasons. Barbara

the drawings of your mum are so moving, I am crying right now, you are such a great artist

Oh man really started tearing up when you showed those drawings near the end. So powerful and soulful. Thank you for sharing those drawings. Fantastic

These sketches of your mother made me cry and emotional like a baby, I know that she really was the most beautiful person around your family. These sketches really depict her beautiful soul and even I can imagine sitting there with her because of your beautiful drawings. Thank you for sharing, you're a true artist. May her soul rest in peace

Part of the healing process is being able to talk about it. So sketching down those ideas and thoughts can also be a profoundly powerful way of coping with the loss of a loved one. Thank you for this lesson and for sharing.

Found this in 2020. Clicking on amazon to order my new gray toned sketchbook four seconds from now. Thank you for this.

AmberAkArt let me know if you find the portable watercolor kit

Hey Aaron. First, I'm deeply sorry that your Mom passed. Your sketches of your Mom hit hard. For a few reasons. My Mom passed in July of this year. As odd as this sounds, your Mom looks like my Mom. Seeing your sketches of your Mom, they look like sketches of my Mom. And my Mom also gave me my artistic talents. The difference is that I did not get to sketch my Mom. And I feel like I've missed something with my art. I feel like I'm losing my passion for it. I've been sitting here all day trying to get started on drawing something, anything. And I can't. I'm stuck. I miss my Mom. :(

Matt Rosiere Hey Friend sorry for the loss of your Mom mine passed away 6 years ago also in July I miss her more than anything she too was very artistic and passed it on to us kids however after college I kinda let mine go dormant you know how the so called real world always ruins everything so I never did anything with art until after Mom left us it was 6 months later when I decided to take a class on a whim it was a painting class that started with a basic charcoal drawing I had never worked with charcoal before we did a few practice things just to get a feel for under drawings and that was it I never gave it another thought several days later I got out a piece of paper with the intention of just doodling around with the charcoal however that's not what happened a magnum opus of artwork emerged from that piece of charcoal only the second time I had ever used it this magnificent portrait of my Mother came as if by magic I still can't believe that I drew that it sits in a place so I see it every day to remind me not to suppress art even if I'm at my job I stop to doodle when the Art calls to me. so my Friend just relax It should return to you Its also grieving for your Mom.

Thank you for the kind words. And what an inspiring story. I feel as though, your Mom is speaking through you with the portrait you created of your Mother. At times, I feel like my Mom is guiding my hand. I have improved immensely since July with my art, but I still struggle to keep it going.

I’m crying. Seriously. Thank you for sharing those personal moments.

Touched me a lot , seldom seen an artist video that inspired me soo much...Thank you , last year was in Estonia, the same time arrived there when your mother passed away ,I just began new Life there and started finally to try to make from art a living...not yet arrived there, I am far away from your abilities, videos as yours are lighthouses on the way to fullfill life mission !!! Go ahead, my friend !!!

Drawing is a good outlet for pain. I drew the most in highschool after my Nana passed away. I recently picked it up again and your art really inspires me. I love the animals.

I am 71 and art has become my solace and joy. I have watched you in multiple media for a couple of years, learning something in every video. Today you made me cry. Thank you for sharing your experience of drawing your mother's passage from this world to the next. The drawings are raw, emotional and tender. The strength of vulnerability was there and precious.

Aaron, I discovered your channel about two years ago, and watching your videos continues to be a favorite pastime of mine. Yes, you are a great teacher and you inspire me to draw every day, but on top of that, you offer an emotional insight that is rarely found, not just on KZread, but in life. I thank your mother for creating such an awesome person, and I thank you for sharing such a personal experience. Again, thank you.

Wow I really love that watercolor set! So smart and efficient! Also, it's very nice to see these paintings. Thank you for sharing something personal like that sir. 😀

You are so unbelievablely talented. Never stop drawing. Your amazing!

The drawings of your mom brought back memories of my mom who passed in 2009. We visited her as often as they would allow us and I wanted to be there when she passed, but she went during the night. She looked so much like your drawings. Oxygen feed, mouth open. The drawings weren't morbid to me. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Sir, thank you for sharing, not only your AMAZING sketches but your feelings and your sad moments in life. I went through a divorce, then lost my father recently, and my best friend passed away young. I'm going through depression, and I'm having a hard time sketching and drawing again. I guess you inspired me to go and pour my emotions into my sketchbooks. I didn't expect to cry at the end of this video!

I’ve never been more moved by art. Thank you for sharing such personal sketches.

Your an amazing and inspiring person as well as a brilliant artist, I lost my mum 13 years ago and just lost my father in-law on Saturday, you have inspired me to pick back up something I should have never stopped doing, Keep up the great content and thanks for baring a part of your heart and soul with us.

The sketches of your mom were extremely touching. I come back to this video every once in a while to hear the story you tell and the emotion you show. The part about only being able to see the shape and form of her after she taught you how to see it is so beautiful. As an artist and as a guy who loves his mom, thank you for this video.

so much historical memories! I think, such sketch books much better resurrects life images in memory... this is the best thing for artist to have such things

'You are not just drawing pictures, you are putting yourself there...' Well put. The artist always draws him- or herself, as it was expressed in earlier centuries.

it is nice to see Aaron's preserved memories in his sketchbooks, thank you for pointing out the importance of using sketchbooks.

That was incredibly powerful. And it not only inspires me to continue making art, but it inspires me to do it for reasons that I never really have before. Thank you for sharing that.

Thank you for sharing this.

That was amazing ,the Aaron's sketches are Better than my finalized drawings.

I keep coming back to this video. You’ve inspired me and shown me the importance of keeping a visual journal. I can identify deeply with what you mean by recording perfect pockets of memories with each sketch.. no matter how detailed or painterly they are. Sketch-booking is a love that will never be lost.

Bruh, your sketches are incredible. Absolute masterpieces. I hope I’ll be able to draw like you some day.

This has been my most favourite video I have ever seen you do Aaron,it is so beautiful,so touching and more inspiring than I can express. Thank you for this,I really appreciate it.

That´s right... "put some beauty back into the world"... loved that quote and for sure it needs it! You are so inspiring and you made me cry with your amazing art and your words. Thank you for sharing something so personal... you can´t imagine how important are this kind of videos you make for people like me that sometimes needs some motivation to follow their dreams. I love your youtube channel!!

The pictures of your mother and your heartfelt words made me cry. Thanks for sharing this Aaron

I become emotional again. It's really inspirational journey. Thanks a lot for sharing.

beautiful sketchbooks. you're super right about how powerful they are with reminding us good and bad moments. thank you for sharing!

Hi Aaron! I wanted to leave a comment and say thanks for this beautiful video. I've watched it probably four or five times now, and your sketches are absolutely phenomenal. It leaves me feeling really encouraged, and I love to hear all the stories, advice, and memories you share. Thank you for being so authentic and for the pieces of your story that you share. I'm actually going to study animation and vfx this next school year, and discovering your channel has been a huge blessing. Thanks for the hard work you do, the content you upload, and the lovely outlook on life that you bring! Cheers!

Aaron, thank you for this awesome video and a beautiful tribute to your mom.

Aaron, this was the best video I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing those 15 years with us!

These are so great, Aaron. Love your work, man!

Thank you for sharing these - and for the inspiration to do more sketching! :)

Big respect! And beautiful drawings and very touching story about your mother. It actually brought tears to my eyes

Man I'm at the end of the video and crying like a baby, thanks for sharing.

Awesome video Aaron ! I never saw the sketchbooks in an emotional way but you're right ! Your sketches are really beautiful and you inspire me a lot. Also, I've started to draw on a grey sketchbook a week ago thanks to you :) Keep up the drawings, videos and live streams !!

Beautiful and wise words. I'm inspired so much by your art, your incredibly beautiful capture of your mother in such a sacred time, and your message around putting beauty back into the world - this is my main reason to do art and one of the things thar keeps me alive and purposeful in these times. Thank you for sharing so eloquently

Thank you so much for sharing something so personal with us all. I always enjoy watching your videos, because you're such a authentic and calm person. It always cheers me up, but this was something very special.

Thank you so much, Aaron, for sharing your sketchbooks. Especially, the ones with your mom. She must have been so proud of you and loved you so much. It is an honor to share in your journey through this life, as much as an artist!

Thanks for sharing. It's so inspiring to see your sketchbooks. I love keeping sketchbooks as well.

I can watch your videos for hours-your art is absolutely amazing. I’m so glad i found your channel and you are now one of the artists I look up to and admire. :)

Beautiful sketches! Love to see more of this

This is so inspiring. Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing your more intimate moments through your sketchbooks.

you have made me more aware of he importance of using and saving my journals. thanks soooo much. : }}}

You are so inspiring man!

Aaron thank you for sharing you art, perspective, and touching memories with us. Hope you stayed safe in FL during the hurricane.

Stunningly beautiful and inspiring. The sketches of you mother touched me deeply - what a beautiful and meaningful way to say farewell.

Beautiful work as always

This was so inspiring- thanks so much for sharing your drawings, experiences, and emotions. The artwork of your mother almost made me tear up a bit. Very powerful drawings.

Love your artwork. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me to keep at it.

Thank you for sharing Aaron, you are so inspirational !

One of the most beautiful videos about art I've ever seen. Thanks for share your feelings. Awasome.

My regards to the loss of your mother...your art is absolutely amazing...The section of your mother brought me near tears, as my mother is aging and the closest person in this world to me. Saying that, she has never been happier now that i am focussing on my art amd passion beyond the world of tattoos. Like you said several times. The therapeutic effect it has on me is nothing less than Gods gift and way of giving me a tool to heal and comfort self through lifes trials and tribulations. Ive recently started watching your videos and each one inspires me to push forward....God bless you and yours ..

Love all your work, I really appreciate the way that you show us your sketches and your feelings. Thanks

I benefited a lot from you a great professor and artist

Oh my God, you came down to Bogota, to the Monserrate mountain. So glad you came here, hopefully you come back one day and have the honor to meet you!!!

That was Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your art with us!

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's amazing to see how much the artwork means to you. Keep up the great work! A lot of inspiration comes from your channel

Thank you Aaron for inspiring me so much.. As an artist and an human being (i could feel your loss true mine, i was the last person with my mother before she passed away too). I almost forgot i am a creative being, and just now I am going back to doing what I most love. Thank you for all.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful emotional thoughts with us Aaron, together with these amazing sketches.

Thank you for allowing us to have a look into personal your life. Such lovely sentiments and amazing work. Keep being great :)

Props to you for having the composure to talk about your mom and granddaughter in a very touching and profound way. I am slowly getting back to drawing and this is inspiring. Thank you, Aaron!

Beautiful and inspiring, thank you Aaron!

I'm glad you shared with us, this was beautiful. You are a huge inspiration for me and I love watching all your videos, and this one felt really special because you kind of let us in your own world and that is what I love most about looking through other people's sketchbooks! Also, as an animation student, you are one of my all time favourite animators and I can only hope that one day you'll come to Zagreb, Croatia, to teach and transfer some of your art wisdom!!

So sorry for your loss, Aaron. I lost my father about 7 years ago to cancer and I wish I would have drawn him. Thank you for sharing your amazing sketchbooks with us.

You're my role model! Thanks for sharing :)
