My Sketchbooks: Early Teen Years
Okay, so many have been asking to see my sketchbooks so hear we go! Might as well start off with my oldest sketchbooks first. These are from my teen years and I can see a lot of growth from the first one to the last.
If you enjoy this, let me know in the comments and a thumbs up. I have loads more.

Yessss I know!
It never ceases to amaze me how some people can do things like this at young ages. I started learning how to draw earlier this year, haha. I would like to see more :).

Dang this was 4 years ago how is it going now?
1:12 cracked me up. Bad.😂😂😂😂😂
You always mention such interesting things in your videos! I literally paused the video and did 15 solid minutes of research on the novel of bambi.
The Match Girl is really beautiful. But, it brought tears to my eyes at certain parts.
I want to be a professional artist. I am 15 and I started to take my drawings seriously 3 years ago. I go to a school where the art teacher doesn't really help or doesn't exactly challenge me the way I want to. I try to practice everyday by watching your art videos to be inspired because you really inspire me❤️ I gave up on the idea of trying to rely on someone else to help me get my style and what I want to do, but when I clicked on your "draw my life" it really opened my eyes because you were also struggling with teachers, but you eventually found one that really helped. I'm attempting to try self teaching to open my options:) I also struggle SO much in math because I can't focus because I always am caught doodling! Is that normal for aspiring artists? I really like your videos! Thanks❤️

Emii64 if you want to be a professional artist, try different styles with different tools like charcoal, or color pencil. Try at least 5 or 6 different styles and see which style you feel comfortable doing, or which you like best.
Do any of you look through the comments while listening to the video

adeja roriguez I'd recommend screenshotting some poses, copy them, and add clothes and hair. This way, you're drawing, and learning anatomy at the same time! :D
It is always nice to see the progression of an artist. Especially as a newbie...to see that you are not the only one with the struggles you are currently having. To see that someone else had the same struggles and overcame them. Thank you! These are AMAZING!!
That's great, thank you... I just took up drawing last week.. and have like 13 pages of drawings.. it is a new journey for me.. thank you for sharing yours.. :) .... I am teaching myself to draw because I have the best magical dreams... walking through a cave when a child unicorn runs past me and laughs.. kind of dreams.. that I want to capture... .... then yesterday 2 symbols upon the ground lay... a coiled snake... and a curved M.. I am going to add them to my sketch book, since you showed the value of saving them....

@@coolcucumber201 thank you! the journey has grown exponentially.. Five years later, which was last weekend I was looking through my sketches, at a dream in whoever I was talking to had a very interesting mermaid necklace that I had drawn upon awakening.. last weekend I got out my paints and painted the picture over the line, and it came out completely magical.. It looks like she is in a doorway that leads out into the universe.. your comment is so well timed.. Thank You!
This made me feel a lot better about my art. you normally see so many talented artists on KZread and instantly want to draw like them but seeing stuff like this reminds me that everyone starts somewhere.
Love them! Keep putting more up,... It's so inspiring to keep chugging along.
Please show more of your sketches. It's so cool to see a person's story through their art.
It's cool to see the beginnings.. I have almost if not all of my old sketchbooks starting from my early 20s (I'm 68 now) and I go thru them occasionally. It's amazing how the results go up and down and all around, but usually a bit more up each revolution. I'm looking at your stuff and thinking I can surely see the sprouts of your beautiful work now. I definitely saw your up and down and all around too! What fun!!!
your vois is beautiful and its the first time i see one of your videos!

I LOOOVVEEE seeing your sketchbooks!! I especially loved the drawing of the girl with braided hair pulling back the curtains.
Thank you sooo much! You have helped me make great things and you are SUCH an inspiration and its just, so much help and you are slow when you do the how to other than people who are like this and this and oh yeah *THAT* really fast and you make it better and easier for me to try to draw with you other than pausing and then unpausing, you have been such an inspiration for me so thank you so much!
This has To be my favourite video from your channel. It gives me hope of learning to draw. Thanks for sharing your early stuff with us!!! Xxx
I think your drawings and scratch books are very inspiring, thank you for making these videos for your subscribers
more please! Unfortunately...all of mine, are gone :( Water damaged
All of this drawings are so pretty I got so inspired to go back and redraw one of my first drawings and compare what I've improved thank you
I draw wolves and when my mom said wanna keep these I'm just like😳yes! Because I embarrassed to show her the drawing I have did
This was so much fun to watch! It's so refreshing to know every great artist was once an amateur, it is hard not to compare my own art to the greatness if others but that is what keeps me motivated to do better :)
I love seeing artists old sketshbooks, like the really old ones from early teen years. Im only 14 and sometimes get a bit disapointed when my art doesn't turn out the way I want. Aaaanyway, seeing that artists I admire werent always so good. Really makes me feel good of myself and gives Ideas of what to draw.
My drawing interests in my life:::: PreK-1st: Family and my mom..... 2nd-4th: Anime and dogs...... 5th-Now: Cartoons, Steven Universe, still life, and hands 11:57 LAPIS LAZULI?!?!?! STEVEN UNIVERSE AHHHH IM LAME!!!!!
this is really inspiring. Thank u for sharing your sketchbooks with us. I have recently started drawing and to be honest right now i am at the basics and not very good. so seeing ur sketches motivates and inspires me that practice makes perfect. Someday i also want to be a great artist like u
I am your big fan. Your pictures are fabulous and I just love them
that was great! gives me hope! love your sense of humor!
Oh thank you so much for sharing! I now have hope as my current horses look similar to your earlier horses so if I keep at it - I will get better. I try to draw at least one thing every day, if not more. I will definitely be keeping my sketchbooks and when I feel as though I am being defeated by a particular subject I will go through and review my progress. Again, thank you, you are a great teacher - even if you are an entire ocean away! (I might draw that?)
'Random anime girl singing' I love how you said that
Really enjoying your videos and lot of Laughs with you 😀. I admire your talent very much. Thanks for all the vids 👍
I really the sketchbook videos!! Very inspirational! Love you Art ala Cart!!😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🤗
Lol "feel the burn" I LOVE IT! I have so much good ideas but I can never find the time to draw besides they never come out right but I love your sketch books!
I am so glad to hear this, so true. I wanted a rip pages out, things were awful. Trying to learn to draw!!Thank you for this information. Now lets watch your show your stuff!
Oh I LOVE your RED HORSE! such a beautiful drawing!
Wow .. huts are so beautiful and shading of horse is awesome too 😊
Thank you, you are such an inspiration to me, after this I will never throw away my drawings again :3 thanks.
I know this video is old but its new to me I juat found you. I juat wanted to say that this was such a fun video to watch. ;)
I really enjoy your art journals they are really neat.
Haha! I totally enjoyed your "frustration" sketch!!! It shows us all how an artist does make mistakes, and yet gets better and better over time with trial and error. :D
xDDD FEEL THE BURN And I would totally like to see more of your sketchbooks It's nice to see how you improved through the years uvu
Val, You are too hard on yourself. Even your very old stuff is better than my current stuff and I am 48 yrs. old today (Happy Birthday to me!). You obviously had a natural talent from the beginning and have continued to grow as an artist. You do beautiful work now, and you did beautiful work back then! Thanks so much for sharing, it was really fun to see what you liked to draw. I LOVED the fairies! Hugs and prayers, Maureen
Ive been looking for 1 specific artist to help explains things to me and your are it ive,only been watch your videos for an hour and I already fell,in love keep it up
Omg need more!! Btw I love listening to your voice
do more sketchbook tours!! i love having them on as a background while i draw!!
You share a LOT of really good advice!!
This video is actually what made me put effort into keeping a traditional sketch book and not just my digital collection. I filled up my first one last year even if it meant pasting in doodles i had on loose leaf paper and I am fairly close to filling another. I actually love how your anime girls look very Ah! My Goddess like I think if you had married the two styles of that and Disney it would've been beautiful!
you have amazing advice :) honesly, i am very picky on everything and i would always throw away all my "terrible" drawings. so this video helped me to keep my drawings. and with your advice i can look back to drawings from years ago :) thank you! subscribed.
Was referred by simple art for adults ❤️ she gives you high praise! So happy to be here, I can’t wait to see what all you have to teach me ❤️ I am a newbie and appreciate every single video you all share! Thank you in advance 😉
