Again it reminds me of a red teddy bear offering you hot coco. (Again so sorry if that is weird. You're an amazing artist.)

I hope things will get better for you. I'm happy you took a break, and I sincerely hope you do that more for yourself. Your art has inspired me so much your style is beautiful.

NEW SKETCHBOOK SESSION JUST DROPPED YAAAAY!!!

I've missed seeing your boys! I need to draw my own DnD babies.

I've missed Paddy and Felix! It was cool getting to know a couple other of your boys too, but the fact that we know who the first two are makes it more like seeing an old friend for the first time in a while. It doesn't matter how long you go between episodes, I'll always be coming back.

Your voice is so soothing. I had a crappy day at work and it could honestly put me to sleep. Keep up the amazing work. I know there are quite a few of us who always look forward to your new posts 💕

This was my motivation to get my schoolwork done, this lil pit stop so worth it :>

Your design for Khol really making me rethink what a Genasi can look like

with all ur characters together we now have everything we need for the ultimate fantasy boy band XD

I always love tuning into a sketchbook session. Comforting and fun to watch on a break and I take the tidbits of advice to heart. I hope your projects go well! Remember to stretch and stay hydrated (that goes for everyone reading this!!)

Honestly you don’t need to upload often or even on a schedule to make my day. I just watched this to kind of calm down before I go to sleep and that’s an effect a lot of your stuff has. Just calm comfortable vibes for all of us (I hope for you too c: )

NEW SKETCHBOOK SESSION, ARTISTS GO GO GO!!!

your videos bring me so much peace and inspiration. thanks for sharing your passion with everyone. 🐰🍓💖

OMG YESTERDAY I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW I MISSED THIS

I was organizing my scrap paper for scrapbooking and journalling while watching this, and the exact moment you mentioned Kiki's delivery service a tiny scrap of paper from a kikis delivery service art pamphlet flew out from the stack into my lap. I thought the connection was so interesting so I thought I'd share :)

I forgot how much serotonin these videos give me :D

Everyone get over here, new sketchbook session just dropped-

Watching this on my porch in the rain is a mood itself

ABD your art always hits different! I swear I wish I could draw as immaculate as you! Everything is so creative, original, and beautiful! Seeing your videos makes me so happy 🥰

I love these! Your arts awesome!!

this was very calming, i'm just now realising that i was stressed out. Thank you for sharing your art and thoughts !

When your fave artist posts while you have art burn-out >>>>>>>>>

Thank you for doing these sketchbook sessions!

at the end of a long day, it always cheers me up to see a new video, or watch older ones. You're doing great! love your art as always! and I wish you luck this year in your big endeavors!

I absolutely love your art its so clean!!!

ayoo! new sketchbook session!! we love to see it, and love to hear from you :D always nice to listen to you ramble on, it scratches the brain in a nice, calming way ^-^

YAY YOU POSTED ! I love your art and sketchbook sessions!

Made my day. I really needed this.

Love these videos!

Perfect! Sketchbook sessions are awesome man

"Just keep on doing okay" hits so hard with my current situation I had so much negative stuff happen in 2022 since like late 2019 things have been kinda rough so when 2023 came around I was like "No need for this to be a particularly good year I just need this not to be a bad one, I don't care how much good happens as long as there isn't to much bad I'll be alright." and when in the past 3 or so years you lost 4 family members, the school you've been going to since 3rd grade shut down and now you can't see any of your friends from there list goes on and on and on literally even the smallest thing is absolutely amazing I don't think I've ever been as excited to get my favorite oreo (Mint) then I was today every good thing just hits so much harder when it's been years of bad

Epic video Alex! Love the chill and cozy vibes!

Your art is always so inspiring and fun, I wish you luck on your future works! :)

These are so cool!! super fun getting to see spike and kohl

omg i'm so excited because your videos are very comfy thank you so much 💕

THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED AFTER TODAY THANK YOU

Aaaahh it's so nice to finish off the day with this video, nice and relaxing! Glad you took a break, good luck with all your projects :D

I’m so happy to see you back! 🍂

I love these sketchbook sessions!! They always help me just to be calm whenever I'm stressed. Hope the rest of 2023 goes well for you!! (also love the little animation of you and lief at the end!!)

Your voice is so soothing always makes me happy, thank you for doing these sketch book sessions

SCREAMING AND CRYING. NEW SKETCHBOOK SESSION

I swear every single one of your videos I've watched has made me so flippin inspired to not only draw but work on some of the daunting tasks and projects I have going on- I'm not really sure how else to explain it, but your work and the way you make your videos specifically so home-y and encouraging just- somehow makes me less scared and more energized to get back to reality. Thanks so much for your videos!

New video! Sketchbook sessions make happy feelings. Hope this year keeps going not bad for you, and hope the bad stuff gets better :)

Hey! It's so nice just to listen to you ramble, your voice is rlly soothing. Thanks for being a chill space :) Edit: came back to this video, took 30 mins to find a reference 😅 and then cried. I guess I was burnt out because the teas came when you mentioned Kiki. Hope everything continues to go well

i love how you draw and i love your ocs i love everything about this video!! hearing you rambling in the background is very entertaining ^^

Thank you for this video, you always seem to upload when I need a pick me up. I love your artwork and hearing your honest tales about your days helps me remember I'm not the only one going through tough times and it helps. Hope you have a good day x

Yay!!! New video from my favorite artist!!!😁

Thanks for uploading and reminding me to take a breather in the middle of coursework. I'll be back to watch again when I'm sitting down to doodle. Hope this year turns out great for you.

Your artstyle is so good omg omg the way you sketch anatomy and the lineart makes my brain happy, also hope everything goes really well with the non-disclosed projects!! (And happy new year :>)

im very happy you uploaded! it makes for a very lovely birthday gift!

I'm excited for your new projects!

Your videos are super relaxing and I love watching you sketch and listening to your stories and thoughts and news

Whenever I watch your videos I really get inspired and it just buzzes my creativity plus it makes me bubbly

This is my finishing work reward, thank you for a new video!

Your videos always make me happy and give me a new perspective on character design. Keep doing what you're doing! 💕

Your videos always make me feel better when I'm feeling down, Thank you.

thank you for the video!! my niece and i are loving it!! and thank you for sharing your outlook, it was good for me to hear :) there’ll be plenty of good things in 2023

It makes me sad to hear u feel low, when u always make us happy and smile with ur videos 💗

I really needed this, your videos are so inspiring and just.... A breath of fresh air in my otherwise dark world right now. Even if you take a while to post, each video seems to come at an amazing time to help lift me up out of the hole I've put myself in, thank you for being you

The end animation is so cute it absolutely murdered me!! Good luck with your workload! Don't overdo it and take lots of breaks :)

Great timing for this advice! Going through a bit of a Kiki stage too. May you always treat yourself with the same compassion you show to your viewers!

Right on my birthday! I can draw with my favorite artist woooo!!!

This video came at the right time for me. The messages you gave during the commentary made me smile❤ so uhm- thank you! Thank you so much!

I watched this last week, and then I came back today to listen to it again because I felt like I needed to hear it again. Thank you!!

ALEX I love your work so much and have a D&D session tomorrow, now I'm simping for your characters (esp Spike good LORD) 🙈 🧡 Hope you're well mate! Edit: I didn't notice the gif of you and Leif before, it's so cute!!

I feel the 2023 has been nonstop work, between conventions and art school i have not stopped at all, but seeing you post really brought a smile to my day, after all the classes and a project deadline your videos are amazing to listen to and just relax, your voice is so soothing. Hope you enjoy your break and that you get to chill. Also the artworks look amazing !!!!

Omg this came at the EXACT right time ive been so exhausted because of all the projects and work stuff i have to do. Thank god for this series your voice calms me down sm 😭

It's almost the end of febuary 2024. Youre bring me such great comfort in the worst downhill time of my life. I'm grateful I get to enjoy your content ;^;

I watched the first part, and I'm saving the rest to sketch to when I get home from work. Very glad to hear from you. I hope you have plenty of good times to balance out the sad ones.

Nothing quite beats the vibes of waking up and realising a new video dropped from one of your comfort creators

as a watcher of ABD illustrates for quite a few years now, its really nice to catch up on his videos once in a while. the way he makes his video, it feels like an old friend im catching up with! very cozy feel, love it as always!

I neeeded this sketchbook session 🥰 I love listening to you talk and just relax ♥️

i love ur art sm !!!

I don't think words can express how much joy I feel when you upload, like emotion is crazy Just remember you're awesome! Can't wait to see what you bless us with next

Thank you so much for sharing your personal thoughts, I've also had some tough times since the beginning of the year, but hearing you mention that you also had a lot to smile about reminded me that I've also had my sunny moments this year :)

I love to watch/listen to your videos when I work on my art school work and I needed to do some work. I logged on to youtube the perfect time!!!

Im watching this in the airport, its really comforting :)

2023 has been going really well so far, but rn my cat is sick and I'm pretty scared about it so this video was exactly what I needed rn, so thx for that

thank you for posting this, I've had some health concerns pop up the past few weeks that have been very stressful, and this is very comforting to watch.

I'm in a really bad depression rn but I frikin love your art Felix made me giggle and smile because the older video with you drawing him helped me improve in my art at some point and it really helped me to remember how much I love to draw even if depression basically removed my interest in anything especially art Thanks for a good mood🍂

Been having a very tiring week and just haven't been feeling well mentally and this video just made me so happy! Your videos always calm me, especially when Im having a bad day! So thank you 🫶🫶🫶

Watching your videos is literally my therapy, thank yew for being u lmao✨🌸

These rough sketches are so good, just the form, perspective and flow of the characters is so good and to get it from such a quick sketch is incredible. I can't get anything that quick without a 3d model to reference my poses to :)

you voice is so nice and chill 🥺and i loooove how tou draw the hair and just. Your style in general. Youve easily made it into my top 3 favorite artists.

Such a nice thing to have breakfast to. Even though I’m sitting alone in my dorm it feels like I’m having a chill morning convo with a friend. Much appreciated

Man i always get exited when you post!! It makes me super happy, and it always happens after a hard day. For a snack today i have a diet dr pepper,, and i drew some anatomy studies along with this!

I love your “rambling” you have a very relaxing voice 😊
