- This is a very important sketchbook, because this is the first one that I have fully completed after 8 years. Not since art school! And it is because I switched completely to digital art during my career and lost my skills in sketching.
However, as I mentioned in previous videos, last year I decided to learn to traditionally paint. One of my goals was to also commit to drawing in a sketchbook as a way to ease myself into the world of traditional art.
This sketchbook was an outlet for me to make mistakes, explore my new style, and figure out the world of traditional art. Because of it, I am now illustrating picturebooks traditionally!
I hope you enjoy this little tour of my art!

So refreshing to hear you didn’t finish a sketchbook for 10 years! I work in a lot of different ones simultaneously and have yet to finish one!
Ahh that’s great! Does each sketchbook have a different use?
@@AnooshaSyed Yes! One for exercises and rough sketches, another for trying new mediums (the RENDR), one for creating designs for my shop, and a few for when I travel. 😁
63 years old a d never finished a sketchbook! Love your style!
I really enjoyed watching this. I appreciated how honest you were in terms of showing work you weren't particularly pleased with. So refreshing and reflective of real life. Thanks for sharing. I am also not very good at finishing sketchbooks 🤣
Thank u!!
You've returned! Love all of your videos and your books, you're an incredible artist and inspiration to me :)
Thank you!! Ahh I really want to get back into doing more videos but I’ve been swamped with work. Hoping to get back into it next year :)
This was such a lovely sketchbook tour. Everything was a joy to look at!
Thank you!!!
I never have time to draw but this tour has fully inspired me...off to sketch!
Just ordered this sketchbook, thanks for the rec!! I’m in need of a new one and can’t wait to try it!💖
Amazing insight! Wow! Yer pages are really rounded out! My sketchbooks look like I was drawing with my off hand in the dark!
😂 i definitely understand the struggle to finish sketchbooks. I have just as many lol
It’s an addiction!!
Your sketchbook is so so beautiful Anoosha!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Ahhhh thank you Sophie! I adore your sketchbook videos so I am very honored!!
Congrats on finishing a sketchbook! Thank you for sharing it with us ^^
Thank you!
As someone who normally works digitally I understand not finishing a sketchbook for a while 😅 But that's just cos I'm drawing on a screen usually. I DO regularly finish my physical sketchbooks whenever I am struck with the "traditional art bug" - because my aim is never to make my sketchbook a diary or an artbook where the paper must be perfect and everything must be beautiful... My sketchbooks are for working out ideas, some messy some good, cos it's just paper! If I run out of paper I buy another and work out more ideas 😊 It MAY have diary moments in it if I take it out an about.. It may have indulgent artwork and 'finished' stuff in it too! But usually, I'm trying out different ideas for stuff in different media so I always buy mixed media sketchbook so I can be free in it and use whatever I feel like, or whatever I have to hand.. If I have a pen, I use it. If pencils, I use them. If watercolour or gouache, I use that! Whatever I'm feeling like. Cos... It's a "sketch-book" 😁 And cos art is fun!! Haha❤
On that note, does videoing or photographing your sketchbook make you put unconscious pressure on yourself for stuff to be 'good' (to your standards?)
Love a sketchbook tour Wonderful Just found you so excited to get to know you more ❤
Thank you!!
Congrats! I love your sketchbook and your digital art. I think your very talented. And Id like to reach some of your books.
I like how down to earth you are, and how you were willing to also share pictures you were not too pleased with.
I really like your art with the little girls and pretty women and yoir flowers and buses and architecture etc. Especially since they are so unique looking and Im not use to seeing them. It takes guts pishing past your comfort zone and I applaud you.
Im an 80s baby and I loved to sketch, draw and paint traditionally. I did this mainly from when I was a young kid before I could read until my teen years I even made picture books that told a story.
I also had a old type writer I used to write short story, plays or poems.
I had many sketchbooks filled and completed.
I had tons of paintings over the years. You only needed to look at my hands and see I was an artist who did it regularly.
But then I got more into music ballet, jazz tap, theater cheerleading etc and sort of lost touch with art. Snd as time passed. Lost my confidence.
Ive never went to art school or took any course's.
I was self taught.
Although it was nice to have alot of shades of paint. I was cool with mixing paints to get the color I wanted. I was a tradirion amateur artist back in the day.
But now I find myself wanting to recapture an old hobby of mine.
I dont know anything at all about digital art.
Though it does look way more easier than the traditional painting and sketching I use to do.
I am interested in leaening more about it and what programs are best for digital art.
Ive heard of Proceate but I know there is others.
Truth is, I would love to kearn how to become a amateur writer an illustrator for chikdrens books and what options are out their for us?
Ive heard of KDP Amazon self publishwrs and book baby self publisher.
Ive heard its important to get an editor and market yoir book before you publish.
But for an amateur, what would any of you suggest.
I dont have the means right now to foek out hours and thousands of dollars.
Though ot would be nice to know regardless about the buisness. But is their a cheaper way to go about this kf I can do as mich of it as possible on my own?
I want to first practice my art and get back into painti g and sketching.
So much has changed over the years. And I would really like some advice on what sketch books both large and medium size are the best with white or ywllow pages that dont bleed into the next page.
And what suggestions of pens etc do you suggest for each Sketchbook?
I truly want all of yalls suggestions so I can write them down and search for your suggestions when I go to the store to get a couple.
I also want suggestions on what ipads work the best for illistrating chikdrens pocture books for digital art.
And is there any available course to take or pay for to grow and learn both about digital art or traditional art.
And when it comes ro painting and colors. If yall have any suggestions or youtube video links to share with me that gives info I might find helpful. Please share it with me.
The past 10 years have been really hard for me since my mother passed away back in 2013.
She was my best friend and comrade. Over the years the rest of my family i was closest too since birth has also passed away.
I just about loss the will to live because I missed them so much.
But Im a fightwr and Im still here. I lived on autopilot for a long time but Ive started to gain a new appreciation for life. I want to live again more fully. And maybe get to know my old self again. The artist I let go of years ago. I want to make my mother in heaven proud and do something I not only would enjoy. But if I could some how gain the skills and learn how to go about creating a chikdrens picture book novel and how to get it out there in childrens hands, Id really live to reach out and help and inspire children in many ways.
I just dont know how to take these desires and make them happen.
Does anybody have any advice for me?
9:50 omg brazilian portuguese mentioned!!
Have you ever thought about using yourself as a character😊 maybe a kids book as a as a traveler🎉 oh yes I'm watching the full video you do 😊
❤❤
Doing challenges like peachtober, even if you don't do it daily are great prompts for sketch booking.
Oh that’s a great idea! I always feel like pressured to create ‘finished’ work for those challenges, I never thought to do little sketches haha
This Makes me want to finish my sketchbook so bad!Not even half way though😅I’ve only finished one of them,the style change is crazy🤭
“Are you the kind of person who will buy a million sketchbooks and then not complete them?” 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
I have like 5 on the go, each for different things!
I’d love to hear what each sketchbook is used for!
@@AnooshaSyed I have a "messy" sketchbook for jotting down ideas and quick sketches (though I have finished a couple of those).
1 that's bigger than I'd like so I use it for practicing from references.
1 with pages relating to different artists, with some masters studies and notes on learning I want to take away from them.
1 is supposed to be a travel sketchbook book but is currently empty despite going on several trips.
1 that's nearly full that has more "finished" pieces in it.
And I'm just starting a new one that's very small and square. I'm going to use it for Peachtober (Furry Little Peach's October prompt list)
@@drawninthefog so interesting!!
they have a Heilan coo in hyde park!?!? thats so cute and a tad odd, i see them all the time so its odd one being on display like it is an exotic animal lol 😆speaking of cows, that painting is lovely🥰
Thank you!! Yes it is an extraordinary thing for me, I wish I could see these cows all the time like you 🥺❤️
Maybe one day! Everyone should get the chance to see one of the cute fuzzy calves in person 😀
what kind of magic paper is it that alcohol markers don't bleed to the next page? 😮
Right??!!
Do you still have your patreon? I’m struggling to find it in the app or even after clicking the link in your description
No unfortunately I had ended it recently! I still have to update my links :(
I just assumed your Persian until that last page 😅 ( im Persian)
I love your art your content helped me draw a book cover
And I understand the feeling of race being an annoying thing with the way people see us it is one of those things that can leave a bad taste on your tongue sometimes
I never finish sketchbooks because theyre my 'ugly drawing' zone and i just never wanna see them 😅
Ooh I feel that!!! Maybe using a paperclip or washi tape to seal off your completed ‘ugly’ pages so you don’t have to look at them haha
