My one drawing talent is that I can draw very realistic horses from memory. This is due to a childhood obsession with horses and different horse breeds (I never owned a horse and didn't really live close to any or ride other than occasionally on holidays, so not sure where that came from, haha). I can tell you that beyond childhood my magical skill has not served me much. I love your blue horses - they have so much personality.
OMG are we the same person?? I can draw horses from memory bc of my childhood obsession too!! And never rode or met one till later on, I think I was obsessed with the saddle club 😹
"I like being forced to make marks confidently." I needed this! Erasers are my enemy. I will drive myself nuts and never finish. I *just* started doing everything in my newest sketchbook with a fudenosuke and I love how imperfectly bold it all is.
4:01 idk why but i LOVED this horse SO MUCH. It spoke to my inner child and it almost seemed to be telling me that everything is going to be alright.. Which is why I was surprised you weren’t a big fan! I am also trying to pick up art again, and you reminded me that just because i hate my art, doesn’t mean that it isn’t art. Tysm for sharing! You are an eccentric artist and i’m very grateful i stumbled across your channel!!🩵
I love little knit hooded girls! They look cozy just like how it feels to watch your videos💖 I’ve been halted at the end of my sketchbook but now I’ll be drawing some blue horses from memory. Wish me luck.
Don’t mind me just commenting so I remember to come back and rewatch when I want to get inspired. I LOVE how playful you are with your art. It’s the perfect mix of a playful yet stylized proper technique
I love watching your videos. I'm laying on the bed with my 2 week old baby and a horrible cold so I was really happy when I saw there was a new video to watch! Always inspiring with lots of feel good vibes! Thank you
4:59 I am absolutely in LOOOOVE with the layering of more realistic and stylized artwork. Honestly, I think the blue horses are really good despite what you might think, yes, they looks silly, but they appeal to my inner child and they have some kind of poetic value to them :0 In general, love your sketchbook so much !! can't wait to see what comes next in your art journey :]
Man I love sketchbooks. I love looking back and seeing the journey too (both art wise and just general life adventures that the sketchbook has come along for).
I really love this. I've never seen your channel until now as far as I know. Every page felt like a nice little surprise. Typically sketchbook tours show a predominant style of the artist, but you were able to show all sorts of drawing styles and it was refreshing!
Talens Art Creations is the value line under the Royal Talens brand, which is Dutch. Van Gogh is their student line, and Rembrandt is their professional line. They have some other lines as well, including one just called 'Talens'. Hope this helps!
So I really enjoyed this. The blue horses and the green page with the butterfly were my favorites. I’m impressed with your ‘from memory’ horses! This tour gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks for sharing!
3:43 OH GOOOD blue horses! One of my favorite childhood books was The Four-cornered round forest by Ervin Lázár, and one of the main characters was Seraphin Horse (Ló Szerafin), the blue horse! This felt so good to watch. Smiled a lot
Seeing artists who have a cool style draw or paint insects makes my phobia of them less intense. When I saw the beetle at 11:44 I fell a little bit in love with beetles. Your entire sketchbook is awesome!
Oh lord those fish, I'm honestly so glad you did paint them! They're so vibrant and beautiful. Love your fish and you inspire me to want to draw so I've been doodling some herbs in my ipad ❤
Such an amazing sketchbook!! This has really inspired me to be more creative and not put so much pressure on having to finish every drawing and it having to be 'perfect'. Watching you share a page you didn't love and then turn over to something you were really proud of reminded me that it doesn't have to be this linear process of getting better every time you make something, so thank you!!
i enjoyed this lots. when i was filling lots of books it was the 90s and i wished i could watch other people work or see more work. that is the best thing about youtube. when the movie Crumb came out I realized how satisfying it was to watch someone draw on film, bc that was so rare then
Loooved all the fish sketches! I think I need to start drawing more fish. Also love that you make lists of things you love to draw because I do the same thing! 😊
I loved watching this video so much! I love the simple but complex style that you have, and gotta love that line work!! You really showed all the love in this video with your sketchbook. I can't wait to see all of the amazing creations you make next!
Wonderful sketchbook! I especially love the horses! I drew a horse the other day too. Well its a pony actually. And the day before I drew a draft cross. I also like to walk around and take photos of stuff that catches my eye to later turn them into drawings.
This was really fun. I love the blue horses. Reminds me of "The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse" by Eric Carle. Hope you have a good rest of your week!💞
Thank you for sharing your beautiful drawings❤❤❤ I really love your style and how you shared each story behind it. You’re inspiring me to draw again. I struggle with depression so I’m looking forward to getting that joy back
Ahaha! I do that too, where I swatch or scribble or mess up on a page, then I paint over it with acrylic, and then draw or paint on top of that. Those Talens books are so great, and they really do hold up surprisingly well to water. And they're really affordable! Beautiful work, love your lines and your use of color.
I truly believe that "I don't mind, it's just a sketchbook" is so important to remember when we are afraid of messing up/experimenting because we don't want to "ruin the sketchbook" and it's missing opportunities because this is how you grow as an artist. Thanks for reminding us :)
If you ever want to watch a weird mediocre movie involving a blue horse, I would recommend Camille from 2008. The trailer gives too much away so I would recommend just watching the movie with no other info for a strange time. Anyways, love your work!
I love the snake with the mushrooms at the beginning. I only have one small tattoo but that would make an awesome one. Your sketchbook is incredible, a solid style!!
I have the square version of that sketchbook, couldn't get my hands on any of the cute pastel colours unfortunately but they're all so nice! every page of your sketchbook is incredible, I love that you've used so many different subjects, mediums and styles, it's inspirational 😍
I remember hearing that whales in their natural habitat aren't measured by weight but by mass. Since their bodies have the same density as water, they can move through it without exerting additional effort to go up or down. Weightless beasts!
6:55 "I painted this while skiing" I imagined someone doing a painting while literally skiing down a mountain and was double impressed because I can neither paint nor ski and you could both at the same time! Then it dawned on me I could have misunderstood 😅
I really liked your first idea of starting a sketchbook with a lil list of inspiration/drawing menu ! Good stuff

Just discover your channel and im in love, you make me wanna try full my forgotten sketchbook without thinking about making everything perfect, love your style path!
I love your art and you seem like a really cool, eclectic person. I’ve been feeling a bit down but watching this cheered me up and made me feel inspired. Thank you! :)
I love all the variety you included in your sketchbook. I feel inspired to do some figure drawing. I love the pages where you mixed up different subjects, like the woman with the pears.
I love this, this was so inspiring to watch! I just recently finished up a sketchbook and I'm starting a new one soon. I want to incorporate the same thought process you've shared and not take my sketchbook to seriously but rather as a place of exploration! Gorgeous work, I love the blue horses and the mountain paintings!:)
Your art style is so fun and special! I’m definitely feeling inspired by your ease of doodles and fun you have with your art! I always stress about sketchbooks for no reason and this helped me see a different side and realize I don’t have to worry about making “good” art all the time
last year i found those royal talens sketchbooks (i am living in madrid right now) i have one in that size and a bigger one. they are surprisingly super affordable and the paper is sturdy. i am enjoying seeing the progression in your work!
Enjoyed your sketchbook flip through. Just a hopefully helpful hint 😊 when working in a sketchbook or art journal, matte acrylic paints doesn’t stick to itself. Glossy or semi-gloss finish does.
Thankyou for sharing your sketchbook with us. I watched a couple of your other videos (thanks to the youtube algorithm) before I ended up on this one. I admire your willingness to share, which is inspiring to me, and likely many others
Thanks for posting this!! It was wondering to hear about your process. You seem rlly intentional about documenting the important little details in life.
I really enjoyed this sketchbook tour and all the loose paintings and scribbles that you had! This is so inspiring and your voice is very soothing also 💓💓
Another amazing video! I really enjoy your voice and i could listen to you for hours. I just woke up and watching your video really motivated me to make art, so I grabbed my comic assignment due for next week and worked while listening to you. It also give me so many ideas for my sketchbook so thanks! I hope you are having a lovely day, here in France it feels like spring and it warms my heart
I REALLY enjoyed watching this! I am amazed at your drawings because they seem more like drawings than sketches. Your doodles inspire me to try cartooning. That's what I want my sketchbook to be.
Love the video. I also love bringing watercolours to figure drawing. Every year for Halloween the figure drawing class I'm involved with has a beautiful lady who brings her REAL snakes in 😻😻😻 she always let's me hold them during the break.
right! I am now very comfortable holding snakes. The first year I think I didn't breathe, not out of fear but just not wanting to disturb the dear thing haha@@littletinyegg
This is so good!! I love the horse drawn from memory honestly it's a vibe ✨ I've been in my black pen era too tbh I'm obsessed with my Tombow Fudenosuke pen (both soft and hard tip) and the Zebra Z Grip ballpoint pens ❤
I love your style. I don't feel like I have a style yet but when I flick through my sketchbooks I can tell that my stuff all came from one place if that makes sense? Even across different medias and themes they seem to be together somehow. So I guess there's a style of some sort going on just not what I want lol. I've been thinking about trying one of those Talens sketchbooks. They're quite reasonably priced compared to some of the other brands available to me down here in New Zealand. A lot of brands seem to pass us by.
I really love the blue horses esp the first one with "no idea of the look of the horse" would easily buy those in sticker.form as well as the white horse at the back on its own and the butterfly horse :) a lot of the sketches I would also buy as prints. I love this book❤
I love your horses! (And your style generally) but your horses remind me in particular of those George Braque drawings where he keeps a continuous line to draw it them, and he def has a horse one. Thanks for the sketchbook inspo!
this is great! I also love drawing people looking at their phone. the most controlled figure models ever! the model with the plastic snake sounds too damn funny, I would've absolutely lost my mind laughing at that one... and the barbie doll?! 💀
My one drawing talent is that I can draw very realistic horses from memory. This is due to a childhood obsession with horses and different horse breeds (I never owned a horse and didn't really live close to any or ride other than occasionally on holidays, so not sure where that came from, haha). I can tell you that beyond childhood my magical skill has not served me much. I love your blue horses - they have so much personality.
I love how everybody loves drawing horses😂 but being able to draw them from memory perfectly is amazing ❤
That’s quite a talent.
OMG are we the same person?? I can draw horses from memory bc of my childhood obsession too!! And never rode or met one till later on, I think I was obsessed with the saddle club 😹
@@littlewillowlinda I totally forgot but as a kid I was given a bunch of old Black Stallion series books! So my obsession stems from books too!
Look Toulouse La Trec horse drawings and Edgar Degas’ horse paintings and George Stubbs (probably Englands) greatest horse painter.
One of my favourite things about sketchbooking is if you don’t like something, you can paint over the page and do something new.
I do that all the time. I draw something but seems boring so I erase it or flip the page, trace over it and create something different.😅
You’re always allowed to do that though. Don’t forget 😊
"I think the reason why these were so successful is because I went into them thinking they would just be little sketchbook paintings" so real
"I like being forced to make marks confidently."
I needed this! Erasers are my enemy. I will drive myself nuts and never finish. I *just* started doing everything in my newest sketchbook with a fudenosuke and I love how imperfectly bold it all is.
You make poorly proportioned/bad memory drawings of animals look cooler than a hyper realistic drawing cojld be
4:01 idk why but i LOVED this horse SO MUCH. It spoke to my inner child and it almost seemed to be telling me that everything is going to be alright.. Which is why I was surprised you weren’t a big fan! I am also trying to pick up art again, and you reminded me that just because i hate my art, doesn’t mean that it isn’t art. Tysm for sharing! You are an eccentric artist and i’m very grateful i stumbled across your channel!!🩵
aww thank you so much!
Reminds me of Chagall.
those blue horses r perfect they just don't have manes :) love them!
I love little knit hooded girls! They look cozy just like how it feels to watch your videos💖
I’ve been halted at the end of my sketchbook but now I’ll be drawing some blue horses from memory. Wish me luck.
Don’t mind me just commenting so I remember to come back and rewatch when I want to get inspired. I LOVE how playful you are with your art. It’s the perfect mix of a playful yet stylized proper technique
It's always interesting to see what pages people like and don't like in their own sketchbooks. I really enjoyed the ones you weren't happy with.
The pears are my favorite. I also love your gouache landscapes.
I love watching your videos. I'm laying on the bed with my 2 week old baby and a horrible cold so I was really happy when I saw there was a new video to watch! Always inspiring with lots of feel good vibes! Thank you
is the baby 4 weeks old now? omg they grow so fast
I GOT OBSSESED WITH BLUE HORSES TOO. Because of a song called blue horses, that's crazy. I couldn't stop drawing them
"This is a blue horse" - laughed out loud at this one. What a fun tour! Inspired me to get my sketchbook out this weekend!
Eyy! I just found a ton of tubes of Turner Acryl Gouache at the "free art supplies rack" in my uni. Gouache buddies :)
Loving the blue horses!
4:59 I am absolutely in LOOOOVE with the layering of more realistic and stylized artwork. Honestly, I think the blue horses are really good despite what you might think, yes, they looks silly, but they appeal to my inner child and they have some kind of poetic value to them :0

plus your fish are really good with the colour added. i think it worked
Talens Art Creations is the value line under the Royal Talens brand, which is Dutch. Van Gogh is their student line, and Rembrandt is their professional line. They have some other lines as well, including one just called 'Talens'. Hope this helps!
This is incredibly enlightning! I was wondering about it and couldn't figure it out (yet) 😂.
Love how different the pages are, so many great works of art 😍
So I really enjoyed this. The blue horses and the green page with the butterfly were my favorites. I’m impressed with your ‘from memory’ horses! This tour gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE the first blue horse from memory! So whimsical!
3:43 OH GOOOD blue horses! One of my favorite childhood books was The Four-cornered round forest by Ervin Lázár, and one of the main characters was Seraphin Horse (Ló Szerafin), the blue horse! This felt so good to watch. Smiled a lot
Recently I love putting on sketch book tours / blogs for background noise as I doodle/sketch! It’s very relaxing 💞 ty for this video
I LOVE THE BLUE HORSES!!!!!! so cute wow
It’s awesome how well you credit the people you draw inspiration from!!
Love love love! I like the snow and desert paintings . You definitely have an awesome style Kristen 😊
I love the idea of drawing your favorite photos, and especially drawing your pets 😢
I love your blue horses painted without references
Seeing artists who have a cool style draw or paint insects makes my phobia of them less intense. When I saw the beetle at 11:44 I fell a little bit in love with beetles. Your entire sketchbook is awesome!
Your art is extremely inspiring to me! You have such a unique, bold, yet cozy style 😁 thanks for sharing!
Oh lord those fish, I'm honestly so glad you did paint them! They're so vibrant and beautiful. Love your fish and you inspire me to want to draw so I've been doodling some herbs in my ipad ❤
My favourite thing about sketchbooks is that you can take them anywhere!🌞
Such an amazing sketchbook!! This has really inspired me to be more creative and not put so much pressure on having to finish every drawing and it having to be 'perfect'.

Loooved all the fish sketches! I think I need to start drawing more fish. Also love that you make lists of things you love to draw because I do the same thing! 😊
I just gotta tell you that you're one of the inspirations for the main character in a book i'm writing
Kristen, you started my day out on a positive note, thank you and beautiful work-as ALWAYS 😊
I loved watching this video so much! I love the simple but complex style that you have, and gotta love that line work!! You really showed all the love in this video with your sketchbook. I can't wait to see all of the amazing creations you make next!

And I love LOVE the first blue horse from memory, he feels so dynamic I love it
If you ever want to watch a weird mediocre movie involving a blue horse, I would recommend Camille from 2008. The trailer gives too much away so I would recommend just watching the movie with no other info for a strange time. Anyways, love your work!
I love the snake with the mushrooms at the beginning. I only have one small tattoo but that would make an awesome one. Your sketchbook is incredible, a solid style!!
The "things that I like to draw" list is so relatable, I do that all the time too!!!!

I imagined someone doing a painting while literally skiing down a mountain and was double impressed because I can neither paint nor ski and you could both at the same time! Then it dawned on me I could have misunderstood 😅
Im still working towards letting my sketchbook be messy and loose, so this was super inspiring to watch and made me wanna get up and draw
I really liked your first idea of starting a sketchbook with a lil list of inspiration/drawing menu ! Good stuff
Just discover your channel and im in love, you make me wanna try full my forgotten sketchbook without thinking about making everything perfect, love your style path!
I love your art and you seem like a really cool, eclectic person. I’ve been feeling a bit down but watching this cheered me up and made me feel inspired. Thank you! :)
Absolutely loved all of the horses. And every colored drawing that u didn’t want to be colored 🫢
I love all the variety you included in your sketchbook. I feel inspired to do some figure drawing. I love the pages where you mixed up different subjects, like the woman with the pears.
I love this, this was so inspiring to watch! I just recently finished up a sketchbook and I'm starting a new one soon.

Thank you so much!
I think your sketches are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
the way everything on this sketchbook is so pretty ! My eyes and my brain thank you
your work inspires me so much, they are absolutely stunning!
I really enjoyed this sketchbook tour and all the loose paintings and scribbles that you had! This is so inspiring and your voice is very soothing also 💓💓
New hobby: watch sketchbook tours while filling up the blank spaces / finishing pages on your own sketchbook
absolutely incredible work, so lovely to look at!! the bright red book is such a fun preview to the whimsy inside
self portraits are so challenging and for what!! i always make my face a little too wide 💀
Another amazing video! I really enjoy your voice and i could listen to you for hours.

This is fantastic. I love your art and your commentary.
I like the horse without a reference. It looks spontaneous and fun
i love the lavender and blue combo at 22:09, also you've inspired me to try life drawing :)
You inspire me a lot ! I’m in love with your sketchbook
This horses are Art!
So wonderfull, genius!
Always feel so motivated to get my sketchbook out when I watch your videos! This was fab!!
I loved this video so much. This is literally what I needed. TY for sharing ❤ what an amazing journey ✨

ooh I'l have to check that out! Thank you!
Watching it just made me wanna sit up and go sketchbooking ❤ so inspiring! I love all the pages in their unique way!
Really liked the Nils Holgerson on @13:45 . This was my childhood favourite anime.
this is great! I also love drawing people looking at their phone. the most controlled figure models ever! the model with the plastic snake sounds too damn funny, I would've absolutely lost my mind laughing at that one... and the barbie doll?! 💀
thank you for another amazing video. I love that my sketchbook is my safe place to get things out of my head,
yep im inspired now time to finish my journal
Love the landscape pages, also your animals are so characterful 😍
The blue horses are weirdly life-like, it just feels like they have so much personality :D
