  • 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.

    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 :).

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    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,

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?)

    I have started drawing, and after a year I decided to get a sketchbook, but I haven't been keeping up with it. I love drawing animals! As a reference for a drawing of a kitten, I took pictures of my cat, and felt his shoulders as he walked, since that was going to be a main part. I didn't do the drawing, but I am planning to! I'm not really good at keeping up with these types of things, but I really enjoy drawing. Although I can't draw humans. That's a no-no, friends see my animal drawings and ask me to draw them, and I just reply with, "So, do you want an eggplant of an arm and the muscles of a cat?" I am picking up manga though, and it's really fun!
