  • It's been a long time coming... it's time to share a look into my Messy Sketchbook!! This is where I do my thumbnail sketches for illustrations, chaotic doodling, and sketching for clients. So grab some tea, and let's journey through my sketchbook!

    Finally a sketchbook tour of a real sketchbook instead of a book full of finished presentation artworks! I like your style, and the way you explore different drawing and painting tools. They do influence the way you draw, and, ultimately, the way you visualize. Your subject matter is for the most part fun, innocent and unpretentious, like the kid’s books I grew up with (I was born in 1958). Funny that this type of work requires just as much practice, expertise and sheer work to realize as do illustrations of savage sword-wielding barbarians, pustulent zombies, or armored space cruisers. Thanks for the opportunity to see it.

    The pouty Dorothy reminds me of the faces from Norman Rockwell’s work!

    I love love love it! Your sketchbook is bursting with life and ideas and love for art. I think every time I'll be afraid to mess up my sketchbook, I'll come back here to remind myself how beautiful a messy and organic sketchbook can be. You're truly an inspiration!

      Awee thank you!! Messy sketchbooks are so important to me. It’s a reminder for me that art is still art even when it isn’t “perfect”. 🥰

    I've always been a huge fan of your completed sketchbook tours, but I'm glad to see the "behind the scenes" sketchbook. 😊
    This really shows the process of your art and how it's not about perfection at first try. Really encouraging :) Also, those J.C. Leyendecker studies and that little wooden toaster!! Ahhh sooooooooo adorable!! 😍

    So many good sketches in there! Love seeing the good and the messy. how the artist gets to the final drawing/painting. :D
    P.S. in answer to your question, my marshmallows have to be evenly golden brown. Then I pull off the golden brown outside, eat that, leaving the the gooey inside on the skewer and roast that again! lol

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  Před rokem +1

      Thank you so much for watching!! I love messy sketchbooks too. There's something very sweet about artists creating with no grand expectations of it turning into something beautiful!

    I turned on notifications, so i started watching the video immediately, thanks for sharing your sketches! I would like to say that I really like your art❤️
    Art was a hobby and an escape for me for a long time because I spent a bit too much time in the hospital when I was a kid, now it means a lot more to me. I even have an instagram account now for my illustrations:) But the thing is, the learning process never ends and I think that's a good thing. There's always a lot of material, a lot of techniques and more to learn. Learning is always a bit challenging, but so is knowing how to learn. I admire the way you paint complicated illustrations, I wonder what your learning process is like? Maybe you have an experience or a tip you can share

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  Před rokem +1

      Awee thank you so, so much!! I’m so glad you’ve been pursuing your own creative journey. 💛 My number one tip would be to not be afraid of failure. Failure is a CRUCIAL part of the learning process!! I also have a video on developing my own DIY art school (how I’ve been learning art on my own), if you’re interested in checking it out! 💛

    A light sear, enough to make it a little gooey on the inside but not enough to burn it black.

  • @noahremm
    @noahremm Před rokem +2

    Amazing sketchbook! I personally think that sketchbooks are supose to be messy ;)

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  Před rokem

      Awee thank you!! And I agree, messy sketchbooks are SO CRUCIAL for artists 💛

    Your idea of an “ugly” sketchbook is very different from mind

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  Před 7 měsíci

      Bahaha we all have different ideas and standards for our sketchbooks, I suppose. That's what makes our art so beautifully unique to each of us!! 💛
