@@SarasStudio I like your channel, waffles channel and Chris’s channel. Love you all. 😊

Here's always been a belief of mine. You call the pages with sketches that don't "fit" together just random and not knowing what you want to do. I prefer sketchbook tours with pages like those because of the fact that they don't fit together. I find that those lead to further inspiration and ideas to jump from because the sketches that have a "story" coalescing them to each other do just that. They subconsciously become codependent on each other and the mind has trouble seeing them as their own wholes rather than fractions of other wholes. The random sketches don't depend on anything else and can lead you on a path of inspiration you would have never considered otherwise. So, train yourself to see them (or even some otherwise insignificant detail(s) from them) as something that may strike your curiosity and even guide you to your most satisfying artistic endeavor.

*Likes before watching* "time to get motivated"

Ugh I love your art. Like. YOUR POSING!!!! AND YOUR VALUES!!! AND I DONT KNOW IF I WANT TO DRAW FOREVER OR STOP DOING ART ALTOGETHER BECAUSE THIS WAS BOTH INSPIRING AND INTIMIDATING

omg i have the same thought fellow army :< how's your art these days?

22:44 Dude, I felt that at heart. One day I was planning on redoing a painting from two years ago and had everything ready but I got a last minute notification from my family on going somewhere for winter break. We weren't going to be home. the DREAD I felt knowing I won't have time to paint it for another two weeks was immeasurable. When I came back I didn't even feel like painting it anymore.

Ok, whenever you say, oh 'this is a bad drawing, the gesture and pose aren't clear'. I'm like.... I LOVE THE FLOW, GESTURE, POSE and it's what I aim for XD Just goes to show how the artistic eye develops over time though, cool stuff, thanks for sharing!!

Chris, you are a lot better than 99% of artists....what you call bad, is gorgeous! Sketches are not supposed to be perfect, but have spirit...you communicate warmth and tenderness.

Your art is my biggest inspiration when it comes to sitting down and sketching. Your skill and style and technique is so intricate and unique and beautiful, and I absolutely love it! Keep it up!!!

Chris, i see that you don’t trust yourself much. Stop! Your work is simply amazing! And did you know that when you show your not so good sketches you are helping us? How? By showing them you are stating that it’s ok to not be perfect all the time, and that “failures” are just steps to greatness! And you don’t have bad sketches... we love them all! Much love 💕

This sketchbook has got to be one of the most creative and beautiful things I’ve seen. You’re characters are so consistent and the style is gorgeous, I just love it!

your art style gives me the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe vibes and i dont know why but i love it

I really wish more sketchbooks/companies would start to offer tissue paper or tracing paper in between the sheets. I'm a charcoal artist and have transfer issues as well. I really enjoy see your work and your creative process! I'm somewhat new to your channel and am enjoying your style a lot! Thanks for sharing!

These are fantastic. So talented. I'd say you are too hard on yourself but I understand that's part of the dynamic that makes you great and strive for a better outcome in your art for yourself. I find your "rough drawings" charming and beyond lovely.

Never worry that we won’t want to peer through your sketchbook. They are wonderful! It’s like watching your brain at work-that whimsicle, charming art brain that churns out such happy-making works. I love how dynamic and jestural your characters are, and the way you infuse their faces with such sweet expression. I’ll always be up for one of your sketchbook walk-throughs and talk-throughs. Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

omg you are the best..could you please share how you sketch the final piece before coloring? you always start after you do the line work and I would really love to see how you do it so neatly without sketch lines everywhere ..

Showing The bad drawings is an excellent idea so that way fan of your work get to see not only the process of creating a piece, but getting to know that the artist they follow isnt perfect as well and that it’s OK to not have a perfect sketchbook and OK to have bad pieces.

You are such a graphitist! I cannot seem to get the hang of drawing with pencils. I've done it all my life, sure... But as a child, I always kept an electrical sharpener on my coffee table so that I could sharpen to a fine point every 2-3 minutes. Now when I use graphite, it's a technical mechanical pencil :P and I much prefer the sharp sketchy shaky lines of an extremely fine point silky pen. I erase so much with graphite that I wind up destroying everything I draw with it. with pen, every line stays on the paper and, to be honest, I like seeing all of my spatial corrections in my final pieces, more than I enjoy a clean drawing. YOU on the other hand, get to see all of your shading corrections. I don't do smear shading well. I will always be a cross hatchist at heart :P I really liked so many of your sketches. So many of them could become amazing stand alone finished pieces!!!! this was really inspiring Miss Hong, I hope we have a chance to talk one day! stay at it! ;)

3 Questions What are some of the artists or media that influence your art? What are some things that you constantly think about that you would need to learn to be a better artist? Like is it “oh I need to learn composition.” ? Things like that lol. Following up with the previous 2 questions. How do you go about studying other artist? Do you just look at their art and simply draw their pieces or do you just get inspired and try to interpret through your own? I would love to see a video of how you study other artist if you could insert it into your schedule. I love your videos and channel and I can’t wait to see more ❤️

We call them sketch books for a reason, they're meant to be a place to brainstorm and rough out ideas, so I don't think you need to be so hard on yourself. I actually really enjoyed a lot of the really rough stuff you've shown here; it's fun to see raw kernels of an idea, even more so when it came to ones you did progressive iterations on and eventually took to a finished work. These days, I pretty much stick to digital. The program, MyPaint, is my favorite thing to do sketch work in. It gives you an infinite canvas as soon as you start it up and a UI that generally stays out of your way unless you want it there. It has a pretty nice brush engine and lots of handy little features that make life easier. Once you pick up a small handful of shortcuts, it's very quick and intuitive to work in.

I love looking at sketchbook tours. Prefer sketches, LOVE LOVE all the lines. Think there are great. Gives an insight to your illustrations or thought process. You're too hard on yourself. You are amazing. Thanks!!

Love this so much, thank you for sharing your sketchbooks and I look forward to the next one!

Well....that was REALLY inspiring. Your art is very beautiful and expressive, thank you for sharing it! 🙌

OMG! I love the entire sketchbook! Your gestural sketches are wonderful. I’m very much inspired! Thank you. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your sketchbook! It's great to see where other artists put down and form their ideas before progressing to finished tailored art. Awesome vid!

Thanks for sharing, it’s always inspiring to see how artists are searching and sometimes finding.

Thank you for posting this. Sketchbook vids are very inspiring, and I just stumbled onto your stuff recently. It is great!

I absolutely adore your art!! Even the "bad" drawings :D I love how you draw faces and poses, everything looks so delicate and interesting, also the values

I love your sketches! Really love the images you created. Thank you for sharing them, Chris :)

your style is so magical looking!!!! and I really love that lately!!!

Your understanding of value is amazing.

I adore the sketch at 18:51 , it has that beautiful rhapsodic feeling that Millais "Ophelia" has. I hope you return to it someday

I love love love your art !! I have and still watch this video over and over each time I want to get inspierd !! pleae make more sketchbook tour videos! i love seeing loose skechhes and your prosess, there's somting theraputic about it and I'm sure im not the only one that love these type of vidieos

I love seeing your thought process on paper, even when you're just searching for something. I love the sketches of twirling. I hope you will do a full painting of one of those!

I LOVE your pen drawings. They have a freshness and lightness that delights me.

everything looks so beautiful and dynamic !!

theres so much life in your work ugh!! i love it so much and it inspires me every time, i always go back to your videos if im lost

I am in love with these sketches, they flow so beautifully and your figures have so much personality to boot

Aw man your sketches are beautiful, the gestures are so expressive and the line work is gorgeoooous

This is great! I love looking at sketchbooks and doodles of other people. It gives me inspiration for my own work. Regardless of if you like your own sketches or not, anything can be inspiring to others so it still has a reason to be shown.

Looove your work, every page is filled w gems! Great advice to follow through when you’re inspired & excited to start a piece, time tends to dull the initial spark of inspiration...

Your fantasy drawings are great, but I really love your realistic portraits and paintings, they are amazing! You are an incredible artist, and I really enjoy seeing your artwork, please continue sharing it. 💖

Hi @ChrisHongArt, i just discovered your channel today .I'm so happy i did .Your work is very beautiful and inspiring for me.I'm currently pursuing an animation course in Kenya .Please keep posting your amazing work tips,ideas and nuggets of wisdom .Thank you

I like the sunlight in your video😊 It feels very fresh when doing the sketchbook tour

I just found out about your channel and I absolutely adore your style and the way your sketches looks. I really hope you will do more sketchbook tours in the future. This REALLY inspired me. I'm gonna grab my sketchbook!

Recieved the prints I ordered from you yesterday! Love them.. and they even look prettier in person!

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing your artworks. ♥️🥰♥️

Please, please, PLEASE do more of these in the future! l feel so inspired and motivated watching this and will definitely come back to it when I'm in a rut. Your art is gorgeous! You're definitely one of my top favorite artists!

Thank you, loved seeing your amazing sketches💕

cant believe that you have gained over 30k subs !! your channel has grown so fast, you are so inspiring to me and im sure all of your other subscribers !! your art style is so original and eye catching and i am glad i found your channel as early as i did ( you didnt even have 100 subs !!!) and i am so proud of you !!

Ah, you make me feel better about how rough my sketchbook is, and how much time your sketchbook spans. Thanks for sharing, I really appreciate it! ❤️💖

Truely gifted. Your sketches are your brain working things out and your skill is evident thru out. Thank you for sharing. To keep them from smudging you can go to the dollar store and use parchment paper in the kitchen sections also hate to tell you that your ink is good and not ugly.

Chris. You seriously need to give yourself more credit. Your sketches are beautiful! So are your paintings!

I reached the point where you clarified about bad drawings and I feel better now. You're so right. Every sketch has potential. And every sketch teaches us something about our art. I love messy sketches though. I love seeing the thought process and the visual searching captured. And your work is so whimsical and gorgeous and your values are amazing.

I can totally relate to you goal of wanting to complete your sketches into a fully formed concept. I have a watercolor sketchbook that is full of unfinished ideas because I lose motivation to complete any of them. I brush it off as ok because it’s “just my sketchbook” 😅

My favourite sketchbook tour so far!!

I dont even know what to type, your work style is just sooooo good!

Please don’t be too hard on yourself ! You’re doing so amazing, seriously ! 🧡

Well, probably a lot of people is saying this, buuut these sketches are soooo so cute! I don't think anybody looks at their sketchbook and says "wow I love everything in it" haha so, as someone you don't know, I just want to say that yours is really inspiring :)

your sketches is amazing! i realy love it!

I don't know what it is about you, but since I discovered your channel you're my favourite artist. Your art makes me want to cry, it feels so lightweight idk how to describe it. I absolutely love your sketches and your ideas. Your art is so inspiring and it makes me want to hunt after my goals. Sorry my english is...bad, but I just wanted to say that. Keep going.

I really like seeing the drafts and rough thumbnails of your finished art pieces, it helped me see that professionals take careful steps into planning a great piece. Thanks for sharing!!! ^ 0 ^

aw man i would LOVE to see an influence map from you. i feel like i see a lot of old school disney/mary blair vibes with some leyendecker rendering in here, but it all comes together into your style. thanks for showing your sketchbook! everything is so nice and clean. i feel like you learn a lot about an artists way of thinking and planning from sketchbooks.. mine is really messy and full of ink and marker stuff.

I love your Sketchbook drawings. Its all about ideas, exploration of drawing I mean getting better. I learned to draw the wrong way I would try to copy picture or photos had no Idea about simplifying images into squares or cylinders and cycles and then study anatomy. So I am relearning to draw at 48 years old. keep up the great drawing and painting.

SO INSPIRING!!!! your channel is my favorite thing damnnnn

This is absolutely amazing!!!

Oh my gosh!!! I have so much love for your sketchbook!😍 The loose fluid poses are so wonderful!👌💜 You should at least write down a start and finish date at the front or back to remember the year though.😅 It would be sad to forget the year and not be able to look back on your progress.😉💖✨ Thanks for the tour though!!🌹🌻🌼

your sketches are so gorgeous !!

Your sketchbook is a masterpiece! I hope one day my sketchbooks will look this amazing. I'd buy an entire book of your sketches, especially the rough ones. I think all sketchbooks should be full of rough drawings so you can see your process and ideas and how they flow.

very cool. i kinda love how organic this was. nice!

Awesome! Loved it. Thanks for sharing. Lots of great advice.

I for one, am going to watch this ten more times.......

I just LOVE your artstyle it's so inspiring

Usually, the most self-conscious artist made the best artist!

OMG OMG OMG IVE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS FOREVER

So talented. I love your drawings so much.

aaaaw i love your fairies! I do a lot of thumbnail sketches too to plan my watercolor/acrylic paintings.

Oh my God - I've been following you for the longest time on instagram and just realized that you have a youtube. And let me say that your sketches are wonderful! I always love when you post them :-)

your art style is seriously so cute and unique at the same time. it's so rare to find a style as unique and enticing as yours.... im so happy I found your channel!! (::

this is like the only sketch book tour I've watched all the way through because people tend to just draw pretty themed pages or similar stuff throughout their sketchbooks. You have adorable different concepts and poses and feelings from page to page. sorry it's kinda random but I just really love your art right now eek

wow! what a beautiful sketchbook! your sketches are so nice loved the video

How wonderful!🤩😍

I really like your art, its a nice new style I haven't seen a lot of and makes me want to try out new, more different things.👌👌👌

I didn't think it was possible to fall in love with your style even more, but alas here we are! Your style of faces, body shape, and even the poses (especially in rough graphite and high contrast like this) reminds me of those cute vintagey sculptures of children heheh. Do you ever get work for children's books illustrations?

I don't think you realize how amazing you are! You're right up there with Norman Rockwell!

This is why you are one of my favorite artists, because you show us how much you work to achieve something and your sketchbook is actually a SKETCHbook. Whenever I see other artists showing their sketchbooks with all those perfectly finished paintings it kinda disappoints and intimidates me, cause I feel some weird pressure as if my sketchbook NEEDS to be that pristine. Your sketches are both rough and perfect, I've been struggling with body poses and lightings/shadows and this video really helped and inspired me. Thank you for sharing it with us, I promise I'll work hard to get better :D

Amazing! I love all the fairy drawings. Have you tried spraying fixative spray for your pencil drawings? If you spray a small amount and let it dry before closing the sketchbook, it'll keep your sketches looking crisp! I use it every time I draw in graphite because I hate it when it smudges to the next page lol

OMG this is amazing! I'm so inspired, thank you for sharing! *gone to draw my own sketches*

Really enjoyed this video and I love your art

You're so inspiring Chris

"bad drawings"? omygoshh Chris your sketchbook is fascinating

Thanks for sharing with such honesty your thought process! I learned a lot and couldn't agree more on some points :) btw kinda out of subject but I would love to see some hanbok wearing characters from you! I think your style fits perfectly like how you render the flufiness of the skirt and don't doubt you will make wonders!

these are absolutely gorgeous !!! thank you for showing us, i know it’s a scary thing to show your sketchbook 😅

I am way late to the game here. Thanks for sharing this. I can tell it was not easy showing things you clearly did not think were good or your best work. It is a SKETCHBOOK after all. I am serious.... you could publish this book of your thought processes and it would sell. It takes those 100s of things to find the one that makes it to the canvas ya know. I really enjoyed getting to see all of this and I am a fan now because of it. Thank you!!!

Your drawings are not horrible, they are great you are really talented

Definitely need to reconsider the concept of bad ........ a very select few not perfect, maybe, but there was nothing bad in the whole sketchbook thanks for sharing your beautiful immersive fantastic vision

You're art isn't bad it is really good

Loved it, so cute 💜💜💜

I'm glad I found your videos 😊

hi could you make a video on your sheridan experience/ review your work from college i think it would be incredibly interesting. im so happy to see more skillful artists like you on youtube!! good luck and keep it up youll be great

Hi Chris! This is the most beautiful sketchbook I've seen- your character design style seems truly unique - who are your inspirations?

Woooaaah you're amazing!!

so sketchy i luv it!
