Ahh yay! i really like filming videos like these too. I do need to just draw without talking sometimes, but i don't really like just adding music to videos - so I find that a bit challenging when I am editing 🙈

I loved it before and after you redid it. Love how you redo until you are happy! Thanks for letting us see your process.

I love the first page. It looks like the cat is wearing a little barnacle. I obviously like the rest of the sketchbook too.

Hi April, i have not seen other artists do this: go back and paint/draw over the swatch and test pages. I love this idea because you already have a cool underpainting, AND a better finished sketchbook. Love it❤

Thanks Chantelle :) I wasn't happy with it at the time, but I think it's okay now

always love your sketchbook tours! so much fun with colour and texture. the little street scene booklet reminds me of those fold out books that turn into a dollhouse- great for imaginative play!

Ahh thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it :) I really love that booklet too, I want to make it into something. Maybe a zine?

I love how you catch the essance of each animal, the camels and dromedars were my absolute favourite

Ahh Thankyou! The camels were really fun. I haven’t drawn them much before but they turned out to be such a nice subject.

I am surprised at how excellent that cat turned out!! So very cool! And you can draw chickens so easily!! I just subscribed too.

What a colorful and fun sketchbook tour! Also, I especially like the jar of one inch pencil stubs on your table- those must be your most loved colors.

@monkeymintaka

Ай бұрын

Ahh yes! They are :) very annoying to find though, as they are so small they tend to get lost. I have a jar for even smaller pencils that I’m collecting. And when i have a bunch I want to make something with them :)

Absolutely love this sketchbook and even the ones you were not keen on. Love love LOVE the camels and shopfronts.
