Sketchbook 2018 tour (part 1)

[ EDIT: INSTAGRAM NAME CHANGE- I'm no longer @artistofu on Instagram! I've changed my account name to @dayitofu. ]
Here we go with the new sketchbook!!
Couple of things - I'm still using gouache for my watercolor-looking paintings, but my friend got me a new palette (link below), so this year, I've been reaching for my paintbrushes more often then my pens. This palette has been super incredible, and I feel like I can be way more flexible in my techniques and control colors easier. Also, I've been inserting a lot of text in this book, and I talk about what the writing is all about in the video.

I absolutely adore the look of the text mingling with the art on the page. It makes your notes look like a storybook. Your illustrations are so creative and unique.
I think you can draw whatever you want because art will always be meaningful no matter what.
What amazes me is that I am not alone on the unique and werid paintings / drawings... You are super talented!
i don't often comment on sketchbook tour/flipthrough videos, but yours is so beautiful and hauntingly enchanting; your art style is magical. please keep working with these concepts, they're amazing

Oh wow thank you so much!!! That was really encouraging to hear ❤️
One of my favorite sketchbook tours I've ever seen! Your characters are so simple but intriguing, and I just love how you have so many notes and souvenirs (?) in it!!! Your art is beautiful.
Your art is so unique! It's so wonderfully creative and so rare for me to find art like this from people that I can relate with. I love this sooo much!
looool i died at 5:12 wasn't expecting that
You are the artist. The art should be what you want, what you like, how you feel, etc. It should reflect you, and what you're interested in. I love your little people-like creatures! They're a bit spooky, but they're also a bit cute and lovely. What a beautiful sketchbook!

Thank you so much for such an encouraging reply! I needed that this morning. ❤️
i really liked the layout of your sketchbook though. it gave me the feel of an artbook instead of a sketchbook
Love the fish sketches xx love the gravity concept about them 💜. Also 3.21 dope portrait xxx
i love your style! this truly inspired me to want to get a sketchbook, thank you!
I absolutely adore your art style!! Esp the creatures that you invented and the way you create these + the birds with looong legs, there are some mysterious & beautiful elements going on! one of my fav double pages is around 4:35 I LOVE THE simplicity and the way the text and the drawing/doodle layer over each other - Keep up your great creativity! truly inspires me

hehe It makes me happy that you like the birds and long legs!! Also I’m intrigued that the text/line drawing spread jumped out to you.
3.20. Wow I'm stunned by how good that portrait is.
I absolutely love your art style. It’s so relaxing and pleasing to the eye!
Beautiful and original!
your content inspires me so much. i really appreciate youtubers who remain authentic to themselves, and who do not try to emulate the 'quintessential' disposition of extrovertedness and exuberance. i love how relaxed you sound, and how that relaxed nature manifests itself in your video style and artwork. thank you for making my day with your authenticity. xxxxx
I'm so in love with your art and this video
You are spot on. Keep going and doing as you are! Each thing you do is almost like a "love letter....." if one can read them. YOU are COMPLETELY on the right track!

The classes you are taking seem so lovely! I'd love to hear more on that 🍓🌿
the smist look like the tooth fairies in hellboy! excellent little guys, very good use of watercolor!
Immediately subscribed after i saw the fish society drawing
I love your art and what you doing !!! So amazing! I'm jealous 😍😍
This is awesome!

Don't know if I'm weird, but the mood switch and your own insights about art at 5:29 was really perfect . : D Your style is so fascinating, I love to paint fish too.

I love your Sketchbook tours they are so unique!!!! I look foward. To the jewelry concept Ahhh. And that girl. Duhhh that's so ridiculous. I definitely agree with you about the purpose and value of art. . . And it's not like lush and simple illustrations can't resonate with people and have a really profound affect on them! ✨💓once again, super nice. My favorite was definitely the girl with the striped blouse and the blue cirlce faces with red mouthes.

That girl, so sad, the comment came from her feelings that she is not able to create art and she can use that as her excuse to give up. Glad you shared that so you could get feedback that get comment was in no way related to art, you know you are creating art and I only hope that girl learns that she too creates art, the restrictions she places on art by her own definition only serves to limit her own growth.
Love your sketchbook, your very talented! thank you for sharing!
I' m in love😍😍😍

haha maybe one day - I’m still weird about talking into a camera and it’s been hard finding time making videos in general. Maybe it’ll be a summer thing 😋
I very much enjoy listening to your thoughts and I encourage you to stay true to yourself, it will always shine through. As someone who is more on the buying end of the art spectrum I can tell you that there is nothing that displeases me more than a snotty shallow and soulless fiend who wants only to make more and more money and has no regard for their client nor for themself. Good luck!

It's great to hear from a kind buyer ❤️ I do love making some money, but I definitely hope I don't turn into a snotty soulless fiend hahah - staying honest in my work will probably pay off.
I️ just found you and I’m so glad I️ did! You seem like such a great person, not to mention your art and notes were absolutely beautiful in their simplicity & complexness (I️ know those words juxtapose each other but it’s exactly how you work feels; your illustrations are done in such a way that is minimalistic but eye catching. sorry I’m so bad with my words!! Haha)

You’re so sweet and kind!! Thanks for taking the time to let me know what’s working for you 💕 I also like how text look with sketches so I think that’ll be a thing that’ll continue.
I love the cover! Of course your art is stunning! Did you design the cover/print it or did it come like that???
It would be nice if you did a video showing your art supplies ♥️

Hi there! I'm artist/art major in art history (with an emphasis in Asian art history). Anyway, your "Smists" remind me of the Gaki-zoshi or the Hungry Ghosts Scrolls from Japan. The gaki are not visible to the human eye and are in a constant state of thirst, always consuming anything even yucky things. The gaki are some of my favorite in Japanese art because they appear in scenes were they're doing mischievous things or meddling with human affairs. You should look it up, maybe you can look more into it when you're in Japan. Hoprefully you can find some inspo or build on concepts while developing your Smists more :) Thanks for sharing, you got some really great stuff here!

TheeArlenzo oh wow I am really curious and will look up the Gaki! I’m really having a great time with all these references and things hat people relate my doodles to haha 💕 Art history must be a wild and exciting major!! I’m taking history of Black artists in America and also Contemporary Chinese art atm. They’re incredible topics but I always have a hard time paying attention through history classes..

Ah that's so amazing to hear! i'm trying to familiarize myself with different types of art/artists that I don't usually gravitate towards this year so i'm currently taking a Western American Art class and sometimes it can be a struggle to stay awake during class. Anyway, Black/African American artists in America sounds like a great topic, I definitely don't know much about the topic-I'll be sure to look more into it!
U NEED MORE SUBSCRIBERS THOOOO.
Subscribed and I love your style and how u fill (gill) your sketch book (gill because there are lots of fish drawings)- I’ll go home💜

!! amazing! do you happen to watch pearfleur? (previously mypetitecakes)? a lot of your rstyle is kind of reminiscent of hers :)
Honored to be Like #1000 lol :) Thank you for sharing
Gorgeous. You create such original, beautiful work. Glad you aren't letting the art snobs of art school get to you. Sounds to me like she's seriously limiting herself creatively, if you ask me. :) Keep being you! Also, your instagram profile seems to have disappeared. Are you no longer on Insta?

its tragic 💀💀 It's hard to get over feeling like a book is "ruined" ! I've just started being ok with painting over entire pages or just straight up tearing pages out lol
OMG I am like that BiAch!!! Lol
pretty cool similar to pear fleur:)
Only one tip: the music is a bit to loud for your voice that is so lovely soft and kalming
Those big headed humanoid creatures remind me of the tooth fairies from Hellboy. :). Love your style. Maybe you could also put a link to your Instagram in the description. x

hmmm never watched Hellboy but I just looked that up and I LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing that connection and inspiration!! (and done - idky I nevre put up social media links ahh)
Great video! Your sketchbook is beautiful and I love your style of illustration throughout it. When it comes to what we think art should be, I 100% agree with you and I can just picture what that bitch is like in person and quite frankly, I don't want to meet them. A lot of what we consider to be art now was simply just embellishment and decoration centuries ago so illustrating with one of the intentions of it to be aesthetically pleasing is one of many ways to create art so definitely don't feel guilty about doing it. You do you! I've uploaded a few art videos myself (and one to come this evening) and I'd love it if you checked them out :)
Some Pearfleur vibes tho

U are on pointtttttt!!!! I was just thinking that! Both pearfluer and dayi tofu deserve way more attention then they get
its hard to hear you speak with the music louder than your voice but love your work and videos none the less I just have to turn on the captions and turn the volume down to understand you speaking thank you!
KAKASHI VS OBITO kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZK2eqbyrk7O4qZc.html
If your "Goal" is to FILL the book before the year ends - you end up with human bodies that look like toothpicks with dolfin heads!
Wanted to enjoy this video but the music is just so loud, I can hardly hear you. I will watch on mute. Just saying.
Music is really loud, it's hard to hear you talking :(
