- Hi friends! I'm finally starting this youtube channel back up and I thought what better way than with a chat and a look at the 31 sketchbooks I worked in during 2021.
If you'd like to see the full flip through/all the sketchbooks - please check out my Patreon!

I LOVE you're art and I LOVE the "unfinished" look. I feel so much more of an emotional pull toward sketchier, looser art. I feel like something gets lost when a piece is overly refined and finished, like it feels cold and restrictive. I'm so grateful that you share your art and your sketchbooks, because it's exactly the style that speaks to me and sparks my imagination, but is incredibly hard to find amongst other artists. Keep up the good work!
Awe!! Thank you Catherine! I truly appreciate that!
I’m glad you realized that this is your time and your life. You are very kind. Kinder than I know I would be.
I loved seeing this! I think this is what a sketchbook should be, free experimentation of whatever comes out of your hand, thank you for showing us a glimpse of your heart! I feel so inspired now 🤩💫
Awe that’s such a high compliment! Happy to inspire! I hope you have fun experimenting in your own sketchbook! 💕
My sketchbooks are just some used old notebooks I altered. They become battered and thick and messy over time just how I like it. It feels more real and you can sense the artist's passion for creativity. They are just filled with scribbles, doodles, receipts and tissue papers with drawings, some candy wrappers, sketches and paintings etc. The more the sketchbook looks nice and expensive, the more it feels like my creativity is being limited. I also had my fair share of people questioning me why I do the things I do. They think I'm weird, so what I did was, just keep doing it since there is no other way. Criticisms are good too, it can help you grow, but if it's only demeaning and insulting, you always have the right to feel how you feel about it and continue on with your art. I love your sketchbooks. It feels more real to me than the ones I see that are insanely pristine and organized. I could never even if I tried. 😅
awe thanks for the kindness!! youre in perfect company. weird is good in my opinion! 💖
Your freer work feels so alive, I love it
I enjoyed every minute of the video , thank you . Always remember : a sketchbook is a sketchbook ! It's to practice and try ! You are a fantastic artist , there is no doubt !
Thank you so much!
Me who took 2 years to finish one sketchbook: ....im fully impressed 👏
I just want you to know that I really appreciate this video. I really look up to your watercolor work and I have for about 3 years now, your paper choices, colors, looseness of your works is something I really admire. Hearing that you felt frustrated and were struggling to find yourself in your art is something I really relate to and I would’ve never expected those feelings behind these pieces that I’ve always thought were perfectly crafted
Thank you dear. A lot of that frustration came from a ton of people stealing my artwork and passing it off as their own. That made me feel like that work was no longer me. In fact, looking back on that old watercolor stuff makes me genuinely sad - like missing an old friend who's passed. But, artists are at their best when they allow themselves to grow, evolve, and adapt! I hope talking about it makes others feel like it's okay to not stick with a style that no longer feels like you!
Your art is beautiful wether ur sad or not but the happiness behind the drawing makes it beautiful in other ways
I love the way when you sound depressed and the song in the background ah I just loff it😍
I love your sketchbooks and the messy scribbly sketches! I'm gonna try looser sketching style myself
I loved watching this! And as for what you said about realising you don't need to please everyone, that was so nice to hear. To me, and I'm sure many others, the very way you break "rules" and expectaions for what "good art" is supposed to be is something that is so very beautiful and inspiring about your art! Your family member might not have liked it, but those things they don't like is something that a lot of other people will find beautiful :)
you are a huge inspiration for me!! not only in your artwork, which always without fail leaves me in awe, but also the freedom and love that just pours from your sketches. It is so important to talk about the relation between pressure and art and the whole "content" culture. It saddens me deeply to know how much anxiety art is giving because you are amazing and an incredible person. Please never let anyone discourage you from doing what you want. I can deeply empathize with your struggles and there were so many times where I felt trapped by the blank page and the need to make every single spread worth admiration. Art should never be about the next person, and it should always be a safe haven for exploration. Watching your journey really opened my eyes and gave me the courage to just try things out. Thank you so so much! and keep it, your a gift to the world
ahh thank you for your kindness!! I really appreciate it! I think that a lot of artists dont talk about the ugly/stressful things that go on behind what we post and that just contributes to everyone feeling the need to be perfect. I hope I can share some of the sad/rough/frustrating things to help those feeling lost!! I hope you find inspiration and a sense of freedom in your own work! Just know youre totally not alone!
watching this in 2023 after beginning to follow your insta at the end of 2022.
I love hearing your thought process and sharing the candid component of making art, sharing art, and the awareness of what is filling your soul.
THANK YOU and I hope we can all get to a point where sharing messy art IS the art we share because messiness is just as beautiful as the reality of our truest life
This video is absolutely fantastic. I’m 62 and been an artist all my life and I wish there were more videos like this on CZcams. I’ve been searching and searching for honest work like this. Your sketchbooks are the most creative and exciting and real that I’ve seen. If you continue in this way you will be completely on track. Well done. Ps, don’t look for an art style. It’s such a big deal nowadays but totally wreaks havoc on people’s creativity and is completely overrated. If you create from your gut and what your heart is urging you to do you will create whatever you need to express yourself and to reach others with your art ❤
Awe I’m so glad you like it!! I do have a Patreon with sketchbook flip throughs for all 110 sketchbooks I currently have filled!
i really love the colours you use
Wow i love this!! ❤❤ you should be really proud of yourself! You draw ALOT! You're inspiring me to draw more in my sketchbooks! I'm impressed with how many sketchbooks you filled! Good job and keep it up! 😊❤🎨
eee thanks!!! im happy to hear that!💖
@@autchiu I have one that I just drew in the other night.. I found a video I recorded back in 2018 if this same sketchbook 😅😅😅 .. and it's still not completed 😂😂😂
lmao dont worry!! if i were you, id just start fresh and abandon the rest of those pages forever hahah
@@autchiu 😆😆😆😆 good idea! 😛😛
Discovering your work has breathed new life into my own sketcbooks, thank you!
Such a beautiful and inspiring video! It was so interesting to hear about your thought processes and feelings over the year. I related to so much of it. It’s so great to see how experimental and fun you are in your sketchbooks as well, it’s encouraged me to be a bit looser in mine ☺️ Here’s to 2022, I hope we can find even more joy in our art, and I can’t wait to see what you create this year! 😄🧡
Awe thank you Morgan! You inspire me so much so it’s so wonderful to hear your kind words! 💕
Thank you so much for this video. I found your ig today I believe and idk, I just loved it... I felt really touched by all the things you say in this video, I had felt that way all my life since I draw, very insecure, frustrated and empty, and hearing someone talk about the same feelings I have had for years is (in a way) beautiful. It is really inspiring honestly... but feeling that way for me is really scary too- Thank you again!
Wow that was lovely! I appreciate the way you approach your work, you've been a huge inspiration to me as I try to sketch every day. I often love the unfinished, improvised little things that show up in my sketchbook and your art has really helped me lean into the part of artmaking I enjoy most.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It is really motivating to hear that others struggle with their art identity too.❤️
of course! I think more artists need to talk about it! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video, there is some good inspiration here!
Glad to hear it!
This video inspired me SO much!!! Thank you so much for making it x Instant patreon sub!
I've recently became obsessed with your work over on Instagram and I just fell in LOVE with your sketchbook work! It's actually been inspiring me to try and let go of creating refined stuff and actually mess around in my sketchbook again without worrying about the end result! Hearing a fellow artist talking about their creative blocks is comforting and I really appreciate you talking about it and sharing the work you've done, despite how you might have felt about it at the time.
Omg 😭 that’s so sweet!! I’m happy my sketchbooks could inspire you!
@@autchiu They really have! I really liked your color pencil experiments with the neon colors surrounded by dark blue! Please keep doing what you need to do for both your creative process and your mental health and know that there are people out here who enjoy what you do, no matter what it ends up being!
Thank you for creating and posting this video! I am so inspired by your art and your honesty!
The beauty of your sketchbooks ahhh I can't 😭❤
Ahhh thank you love! 😭💕
Love you and all your art! So happy to get the notification that you posted. Please post more.
Will do! Love you 🌟💕
Loved this video sooooo much! You’re amazing, never ever forget that.
I'm so glad! Thank you a ton!
i can't express how much i love your art
Wow 🤩 this was so inspiring and I adore your style. Especially the "unfinished" or I think a better word...the raw. 💫
Thank you Bella! Those are my fav too! 💕
I really love all your sketchbooks ❤️!!
Ahhh thank you Lotte!! Some of it was super inspired by you! 🌟💕
This video was so lovely! I really like how you summed it all up in 20 minutes. And I hope this year will bring you all the best. Excited to see your beautiful videos both here and on patreon
Thank you Libby!! I really appreciate you! 😭💕
Thank you for sharing
Watching this was amazing, thank you so much for making this. :)
Awe I’m glad! Thanks for watching!
it's much harder to brush off one harsh/negative comment than accept a hundred kind words - but it sounds like you're doing well in that regard. Onwards and upwards - or whatever direction we damn well feel like, really. 😁
Thank you lovey!! 💕 you’re totally right. I hope I can get better at just letting that negativity roll off!
such a beautiful video! such beautiful pages! and a beautiful message throughout. thank you for sharing :-) i look forward to your future videos
Thank you for making this video :')
Loved watching this video and seeing your lovely art! I couldn't help but notice you have some really lovely vibrant pink and yellow neon pigments in a lot of your sketch pages and I was wondering if you have any advice for someone trying to find really bright colors like neon pink and highlighter yellow in colored pencils/paints/sketchbook friendly supplies ? Which brands do you recommend?
Thank you dear!! The neon colors are not lightfast, keep that in mind! So it’s okay to use them in a sketchbook where they will be away from direct sunlight most of the time, but if you use them on final artwork the colors will fade. I use just normal highlighters. Mine are by sharpie but literally any would work! I also use Shinhan Pass paint. The color called pink is SO neon! Then I also use Holbein’s fluorescent line of artist colored pencils. There’s some other brands that have them too like Prismacolor!
Hope that helps!!
@@autchiu So helpful! Thank you so much!
i would love to know what colored pencils do you mainly use because they’re so pigmented and they do justice to your sketches 🤩
I use literally any artist grade colored pencil! You just have to press really hard! 💕💕
@@autchiu thank you! I currently have Faber Castell and I guess I’m just scared to press hard 😭😭
@@wendytecum9461 those work!! I definitely break the tips off all the time - it's a lot easier to press hard when it's not SUPER sharpened!
People out here buying sketchbooks with just unfinished stuff just to have as inspiration, I'm sure people will be interested in unfinished work o.o I mean id buy digital copies of your sketchbooks for inspo
That’s good to know! 💕
Everything was cool, but the audio was quiet-ish
