your sketchbook helped me realize i need to be more comfortable with my sketchbook:) i get really freaked out that i’m “wasting paper” with doodles

i've been there too, treating my materials way too preciously! but theyre meant to be used so, its ok to make mistakes or "waste" things sometimes, better to get something done from start to finish rather than never start because youre too intimidated!

When I’m feeling really crippled by that I find using something really cheap, or even lined to take some of the pressure off.

I feel you. When I feel like my drawing is too horrible I rip it off the sketchbook and feels so bad and frustrated.

Thanks! I thought it would be helpful for people to see just how useful a sketchbook is when it comes to producing final artworks! Or just being a resource to yourself for future projects/ideas

As a Bengali person myself, seeing your art and portrayal of desi culture and things and places that are familiar to me brought me SO MUCH JOY. Thank you for representing us ❤️

I think even the most perfect sketchbooks still have their flaws! You should treat your sketchbook in a way where you don't feel intimidated to delve and lose yourself in it

That's so cool! I'm starting my "first" sketchbook (quotation marks because I have had notebooks assigned for drawing in the past, but never saw them as sketchbooks and didn't draw consistently at all) and it feels great to see someone else who treats their sketchbook as a sketchbook and not as an art book/portfolio full of finished illustrations. You have inspired me a lot! Thank you for sharing!

it's good to keep a sketchbook so you have all of your "drafted" concepts/ideas in one place!! i've also been the type of person to have hundreds of loose drawings only to never find them again rip

Thank you so much for showing what a real imperfect sketchbook looks like!!! The “perfect” sketchbook is so much pressure and way less productive. Seeing your process is wonderful 😊

I love this so much! There is so much personality in your sketchbook and you have inspired me so so much! Would love to see the other sketchbook stuck in your studio if you feel comfortable sharing! Thank you for sharing this sketchbook!!!

Thank you! I'll definitely do a tour of the other sketchbook! I don't know when I'll be able to pick up my work but when I do I will definitely do a tour of the other one :^) It'll just be a bit backwards since that sketchbook is older!

My favorite thing about your sketchbook (and I have many favorite things) is that it feels like a journal and there's something so intimate and calming about that to me. Kinda reminds me that there are many different ways a sketchbook can look

Omg I found this goldie in my recommended, it's really reassuring to find someone who is carefree and casual in their sketchbook, and doesn't mind the extra scribbles

Really inspiring! I’ve never fully allowed myself to experiment within a sketchbook before but now I can’t wait to after seeing this. Huge fan of your art! ☺️

I appreciate how you also superimpose the finished projects when you have them! It makes your tour feels so complete and helps us to understand your process.

Thank you so much for this video! I’m always scared to use my sketchbook, because I feel like I waste money every time I make a mistake 😭 hopefully I can become more comfortable in the future!

I really love your use of sticky notes to cover up old drawings you're not too fond of. It shows that sketchbooks really are for experimenting and you can mess up. Doesn't have to be perfect or always overly visually pleasing. Thanks for sharing! Love your art!

I just found ur whole yt chanel, and im surprised that ur not that known Ur reaaaaallly talented and good at art/drawing

I love how you fill the pages to the edges and experiment with different media! Thanks for showing us your work! 💕

I loved being able to see and hear how each quick sketch in the sketchbook transpired into a final piece and it was so nice of you to also show the final piece! You have such a unique style and I love how you use your sketchbook!!

Dude, your art is amazing. I know people always say this, but legit, you deserve so many more subs. I can see you being very prolific for your unique style + your sense of humour + your personality. Keep up the amazing work!!

I adore this sketchbook tour!! Such beautiful drawings!! this whole sketchbook is a treasure, also it was so lovely of you to include the finished pieces of the concepts in your sketchbook!❤️ Im so inspired now🤩🌸

this is so beautiful!! i love seeing your whole process behind your pieces and all your experimentation!! it’s a really great reminder that sketchbooks don’t have to be so seriously rendered or “perfect.” thank you for sharing!! :))

this is probably one of the first time i let a comment but needed to tell how inspiring this sketch tour is!!! and make me want to be even more free with mine, not feeling shy to recover things i didn't like etc. thank u for this video

The moment you said that you're not the type of person to have a "finished pieces only" sketchbook, and that your sketchbook is messy, I instantly subscribed😅

I love your confidence!!! wish more artists were like you.

Thank You so much!! This really helped me. I definitely wanted to create a "perfect" piece and have to realize its just practice that's what its for!! I love seeing you get adventurous with styles and medias

I love your art style and how you utilize all areas of your sketchbook, it’s very pleasant to look at ♥️

I’m so happy I seen this in my recommended! I love how loose and messy your sketchbook is! This is giving me inspiration 💖

It’s such a pleasure to be able to see the world through the eyes of artists who speak to parts of your soul. Thank you so much for sharing this with the universe

wow, that whole sketchbook was amazing and i'm very glad i stumbled upon this video! i love your use of different mediums, especially ink and gouache

wow this is the first time seeing a realistic sketchbook. thank you so much. i feel so motivated to continue filling in the pages of my sketchbook. also love seeing desi youtubers.

i love that when your emotions transcend words, you express it through doodles and art. that's just so true and authentic of you and im so glad you're sharing all of this with the world.

This is the most inspiring sketchbook and tour that I have seen in a loooooooong while! Thank you for sharing your wonderful art and personality ♥ :)

i loved loved loved this video!!! your concepts and the little sketches compared with the finalized pieces are so creative!!

I love the vibe of your sketchbook. It made me feel really calm right now🌻thanks 💕

I love all your doodles sm, they just look really aesthetically pleasing

Thank you for sharing your sketchbook with us! As a person who can only create mess in their sketchbook, it felt so good to see another sketchbook as messy as mine (and without finished work). Looking forward to your next videos!!

So happy I found your channel!! You are so talented and such an inspiration!

This video has been in my recommended honestly, for a hot minute. I finally got down to watching it and I love your style! I wish you had some of your art in the thumbnail to draw me in faster 🌸 subbed

Thanks for sharing I look forward to more sketch tours in the future!

I love your sketchbook. It is very inspiring. There are so many artists out there who do full illustrations and my sketchbook is so messy, and blank and I'm learning so it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't do fully finished illustrations. And your work is so cute and colorful. I think I'm going to experiment with more color work in my sketchbooks. Your work is lovely. Thanks for sharing.

This is amazing, thank you for showing us some of your personal arts! It's super inspiring ❤️

This was such an amazing and inspirational video! You are sooo talented and I absolutely love your work!! Also I’m sososo happy you’re a south asian artist - ive been looking for more sa rep & fellow sa artists so I’m glad I found you! I hope you post more art videos :)

I've watched a looot of sketchbook tours but I enjoyed yours so much more than what I usually do :) I love how you improvise and you don't have a super perfect illustration on every single page but still all of your doodles are super cool and cute

Finally a sketchbook tour which features actual sketches!!! Loved the tour, I'm a big fan of your artstyle

This video inspired me to draw in my sketchbook way more than all the other sketchbook tour videos full of finished illustrations and barely any sketches.

this literally inspired me so much omg

Thank you for sharing this! Ever since getting sketchbooks, I've struggled to create art in them as I feel like I should only do finished pieces or art of a certain level. It's funny because when I was little, I drew on anything I could, usually just a regular A4 print paper. So I really feel inspired now to just USE the sketchbook, because just the idea of flipping through it and seeing the progress, the experimentation, etc, is enough.

This is my first video of yours and omg I’m in love with your artwork and style!

I loved getting a peak into your illustration process, it’s always interesting to see thumbnails + initial sketches of a finished piece. I also really enjoyed all the pieces which had elements of your culture, Bangladeshi artwork and themes aren’t ones I see often on Insta and the like (I guess they’re not “aesthetic” enough 🙄🙄) and it was really nice! Love the mish mash of mediums and experimentation, + all the drawings of you and your partner are super cute btw. Got a new subscriber, I loved listening to you! ✨💛✨

so gooood!! its such a diverse body of work and its so inspiring to look at!

Your sketchbook is seriously inspiring!!

Sooooo beautiful !!

You are SO talented!!

Cute sketchbook, I love how loose all the sketches are, I tend to over complicate things so it’s kind of hard for me to do that, anyway great video! Will def return🙌😁

Honestly I learned something while watching this... Your sketchbook isnt just some book you sketch or draw it reflex your personality and your emotions!! Honestly your sketchbook is so creative and me who is on my 15th sketchbook and just being lazy on most pages learned that I must start actually thinking creative and being creative!!!

this inspires me so much omg it’s beautiful !

Girl I LOVE your sketchbook!!

Oh my gosh your sketchbook is super adorable 💕

love your sketchbook! inspired me to keep drawing mine

I love this style of sketch book ✨

Your sketchbook is so cool and lovely and inspiring!

I swear I gasped out loud everytime one of the finished illustrations popped up. So so so beautiful!!

Yes a fellow queens artist!!!!!! So glad I found this vid! You’re so talented ☺️

Thank you! It truly brings me joy when I get to share my work with others and they admire what I do! I'm also very glad I went with my interpretation of that book because if I went directly off the details in the book, it would have stunted my creativity. I also learned a lot about the history of my own culture while doing so!

WOW!! Ive been binge watching sketchbook tours while i work on mine for highschool applications ( I dont think i will b able to fill it in time but yk ive been doing my best😭😔) and yours is probably my favorite! I love the way you stylize the cats, and everything else just flows really well. How is SVA? Ive been looking at art colleges I think are interesting (Ik its a little early lol but its fun) and a ton of my favorite animators are sva alumni! Also how do you only have 202 subs?! Your art is incredible!

thank you! the way i've drawn cats have evolved over time and I think theyll only ever continue to shift and take shape with time! I have a cat who has big noodly energy hence why the cats I draw look the way they do (he's my model). My SVA experience was alright, but like many art colleges (and college in general) very expensive!!! Definitely out of my range in terms of tuition but I'm only attending college once so might as well go to the one I resonate with most

I love this!!!

I loooveeee the painting at 6:31. The colors are so great

This is so cool and inspired me to do stuff in my sketchbook aswell 😊

Your art is amazing ,I love it so much🥺💖 You inspired me a lot , I wish that I could draw like you

and wowow i love murakami! hearing you mention kafka on the shore and norweigan wood made me feel so happy bc theyre such great page-turners. you should read his short stories too if you havent!

this is amazing omg! thank you for sharing your stories, this is beautiful (:
