my most important sketchbook pt.2 (sketchbook tour)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มี.ค. 2023
- the goliath that started it all. in this old 2018/2019 high school sketchbook tour, I show a lot of the practice that went into building my drawing and painting skills. sketching 100 hands, 100 heads, and 100 feet really helps to build up drawing mileage, and this sketchbook really shows a lot of the fundamental drawing skills I built in high school. I was figuring out if I really wanted to pursue art as a career and study it in college and (spoiler alert) I ended up doing just that! I hope this video inspires you to keep on drawing, no matter what skill level or age you are at. it's never too late to pursue and improve your art skills, and I wish you the best in filling out your own sketchbooks, and maybe gives you some sketchbook ideas to get started!
Next week we have a studio tour coming up! So make sure to like and subscribe to see how I'm going to decorate and renovate my studio space. Can't wait to show you guys more of my art journey~

There's something in your pencil sketches that I really love!
thank you so much!!💕💕
I love how full your sketchbook is, I really need to fill all the gaps on my pages more
that’s just how I like to work!! you do what’s comfortable for you💖
These are fantastic, I have so many abandoned sketchbooks that I'm now taking time to full and use it for studies and really just practice instead of worrying I just zone out and really take my sketchbook personal instead of if it was for a teachers review or a specific style I want it to come to me from my brain and these sketches really got my motivated to let loose
thank you, and yes!! don’t put too much pressure on yourself 💕 you got this!!
i also have this problem. working on many sketchbooks at once and rarely if ever, finishing any. lol
your videos just filled me with energy to finish my sketchbook at least /once/
your art is very inspiring!
I’m so happy my videos gives you that energy, you got this!!💖💖💖
@@sketchesofshay 🤜🤜🤜 beating my artblock
I love your sketchbooks a lot more than the ones that are minimalistic and very curated. I hope my sketchbooks can look like yours one day.
I hate being a perfectionist. It ruins a lot. It stumps me so hard. I just watched your video you most recently released on this subject. I really needed to hear that I can be messy and that nothing is original, etc. So, thank you!
You got this!! give yourself time and grace to ease into being more messy. as a fellow perfectionist, it’s an acquired skill to intentionally be more messy or loose, so give yourself time 💕💖 happy drawing!
I've been really excited for the second part of your sketch book tour :)
Also thanks for recommending Bridgman's Guide. Since I saw all the figure studies you did, I wanted to try that too. Maybe I'll figure out anatomy eventually :')
awesome!! I hope it helps you out, and thank you for watching!!💖💖
Mannnn this makes me want to get back into art. Around middle school is when I decided I wanted to be an artist, and that lasted all through high school. I was in all the AP art classes. I was super convinced this was gonna be my life. I graduated, pandemic happened, never had any plans to go into college anyway. I wanted to do webcomics, post my art, etc. This was it.
Then, entirely by accident, I dove went headfirst into writing sci-fi/fantasy novels. I've never looked back. I thought drawing was my passion, but it's absolutely nothing compared to writing/editing. I still draw now and then, but watching sketchbook tours reminds me of when drawing was EVERYTHING.
It's bittersweet to realize it's now an occasional hobby for me, since it can never top writing, but seeing other people passionate about art lets me live vicariously through them lol.
It was a joy seeing this old sketchbook. Thank you for giving a tour!
i think you should definitely get back into art!! maybe it could aid you in your writing and editing, just as a supplementary creative outlet or part of your process. it's never too late to start again!
I was so excited to see this notification! I absolutely adore your work.
aH thank you! 😭💕💕
hi just wanted to say thanks and i love your videos! i taught myself to paint digitally during the pandemic but a lack of drawing knowledge has really prevented me from finding my own style and moving past copying a reference. seeing how you practice and approach shapes has helped me a lot and my drawing has improved a ton in just the last week. thank you again!
I’m so happy my videos have helped you!! Wishing you the best in your journey !💖
your sketchbook tours are really fun and interesting to watch!
thank you so much!!💕💕

Just found your channel through this sketchbook tour, I love your art and your art style!!
Thank you so much!
Story time: In 2022 I finally got back into art after leaving it some 15 years prior for the same reasons people say they are intimidated to art now. I was seeing so much art that was so much better than mine, digital art was the new big thing. Finally after all this time I’ve got to the point where I’m like “you know what eff this I like doing art it makes me happy”. And I’m seeing art that spans the horizon and I actually believe what I said when I was young- “everyone’s art is for somebody”
Anyway thanks for this video I know there’s someone out there that will see it and not give up on their art journey!
Absolutely loved this sketchbook tour! Most of the time I can’t really watch sketchbook tours because I think they’re to boring but I actually watched the whole thing! Ur sketchbook itself is gorgeous and so inspiring and you also have a very nice voice :))🫶🏽
thank you so much!!
This is fantastic 😮, I cannot finish anything and I have just started a sketch book hopefully I finish it. Personally I love seeing other people's work and just looking at it and analyzing it helps me see what I could do to make my art better and maybe they could do the same for my artwork, keep up the good work!!!
thank you so much and you got this!!
Doll great video 🤩 really enjoyed seeing the work u put into ur sketchbook 😊 i agree never let what someone else says get u to stop ❤ ur on a journey u will find what makes ur art grow 🪴 love looking back at older sketchbooks I just wish I hadn't lost some over the years but 😅 it happens

Hey what do you use for the darker sketches. They look almost like graphite but they're too dark to be. Is it a darker colored pencil or ball point pen or what? I wanna use something like that in my sketchbook.
I think it was probably ballpoint pen for most of the darker sketches! highly recommend sketching in ballpoint pen!
@@sketchesofshay I made some the other day. Favorite part of the page. It's so dark but so easy to get to go light I love it.
"and like"
it's a bad speaking habit of mine >-< sorry if it got annoying!
I like your drawings !! \(^-^) /💓
thank you!💖
This gave me so much inspo I love your style it is stunning ❤❤
thank you!! I’m so happy you’re inspired!!💕
