- Come and take a look inside my lively and untamed sketchbook! 📒🎨 Join me in this sketchbook tour as I unveil the story of my artistic evolution, marked by exploration, self-discovery, and the pursuit of a distinctive artistic identity. Follow along as I flip through the sketchbook's pages, revealing a whirlwind of sketches, impromptu doodles, and bursts of inspiration. From weird scribbles to character designs for a new picture book, it’s an ugle sketchbook but with a lot of heart.
Ever wondered how an artist discovers their unique style? I open the door to the genuine chaos and experimentation involved in finding your artistic voice. Embracing imperfections, learning from mistakes, and evolving with each stroke of the pen-this sketchbook tour transcends its pages, offering a glimpse of creative self-expression. Press play, consider subscribing for a continuous stream of imaginative content, and let's my sketchbook's beautiful disorder! 🚀✨
Feel free to share your artistic revelations in the comments, fostering connections within our ever-growing art community. Let's inspire one another to continually push the boundaries of creativity!

People have the wrong idea about what a sketch book is. A sketch book is supposed to be messy and it can even be incomplete, cause it could be a specific book for a specific idea. You need to stop appologising for your book, cause its so, so, so beautiful and art is art, even the pages you dont like, someones going to see it as art and thats the point. The ones who create beatifuil sketchbooks, are normaly going to sell them or show case them somewhere, so thats why they are,' pretty.' those are generally called art collections to. But sketchbooks are supposed to be used for experimenting, until you come out with a finale piece or concept, hense why its called sketch book lol. But your art is soooooo stunning im in love. This is why im now trying to be an artist, cause i love all the inspiration im getting on TH-cam. ❤
Aw, I couldn’t have said it better myself! Your thoughts are beautiful! 🥰 I’m super happy to hear that you’re starting to create your own art as well!! 🎉👏 I hope you have heaps and heaps of fun on your creative journey! 💕
The most interesting sketchbooks are messy😊
@@badmamymakes exactly. X😁👍
"I don't have a pretty sketchbook"
Proceeds to show us a very pretty sketchbook
Hahahaha thank you so much for this motivating comment 🤭✨
True
The freedom in your book is brilliant. Exactly what a sketchbook should be ❤
Really? Thank you for your support 😊💕
Don’t be so hard on yourself! It’s a beautiful sketchbook and a great example of what a sketchbook should be - trying new things, practicing, and real! Each page should not be the perfect aesthetic. It’s unrealistic and an impossible standard. Thank you for keeping it real, and I hope you can accomplish 12 sketchbooks this year!
Thank you, you are absolutely right! A sketchbook should be a messy place 😊
I absolutely love your style, it was nostalgic for me for some reason and reminded me of being a kid.
Oh, really? That’s nice to hear! 😊💕 I’m glad it reminded you of your childhood!
i love your art style so much and the colors you use are just fantastic!!!
Thank you so much!! 🤭✨
I love your sketchbook, that car page is wonderful
Thank you! ☺️
I really enjoy the artworks unfolding within your sketchbook. They have beautiful colors and atmosphere.
Thank you! It’s super motivating and nice to read your comment, I’m new to sharing my sketchbook so it’s nice 😊✨
The joy here is so apparent. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
This sketchbook is very pretty and aesthetically pleasing 😌 it feels nostalgic and I love your use of color, your drawings remind me of curious George and Clifford!
Thank you so much! I hope I managed to inspire you with your own art, too 😊🙌
i love the colour and personality in your art!! really inspires me to do more loose and less serious art in my sketchbooks 🥹🫶
Aww I’m so happy that I could inspire you in any given way! 💕
Oh my goodness! I love seeing this sketchbook! The playfulness makes it feel so alive :D and super relatable ^-^ I love the colours and how playful they are.
Aw, thank you for your nice comment! I’m happy I can motivate you! 😊💕
Hi! I just wanted to tell you that you totally inspired me today!! Whales are my favorite animals and your sketches inspired me to incorporate some doodles on my own journal. It's been a while since I've drawn anything since I stopped many years ago, but just the way you use colours is so inspiring and beautiful I had to try it out!! Just wanted to say thank you and I really can't wait to see more of your sketches!!
I am so happy to read your comment and that my work inspired you to be creative again 💕 I was actually having a bit of a down day critiquing myself too much so reading this made me feel much much better again. 🥰 I'm super happy we can motivated each other! Hope you have lots of fun creating again!
I love your art style! The looseness of it sure takes the pressure off for the rest of us. Thank you for sharing, even though you didn't think it was a pretty sketchbook - I politely disagree, it's beautiful.
Thank you so much!
These are very beautiful sketches! I do hope I can one day utilise my sketchbook like this, a balance of pretty and experiments.
I do some bad drawings on purpose when I start a sketchbook to not feel the pressure to make it “pretty”. Then I don’t mind filling it with exercises 🫣💕
@@MartaTaylor Oh that is a great idea~
I love the spread (and your thoughts about) remembering your childhood. I am not a "sketchbook" person either, per se (and find it even more daunting to be one in this age of digital "perfection curating"), but your challenge of filling one per month really appeals to me. I must muse on this. Thank you for the inspiring thoughts.
Aww I am super super happy that I was able to inspire you in any way! This is exactly what I want to achieve with my channel 🥰 I hope you are able to create lots of nice art after this!
i love ur sketchbook so much!!! it reminds me of my childhood when i used to draw a lot!! 😂😍🌸
Aww yay!!! I'm so happy it takes you back to your childhood! 🥰
Your style is so fun ! This sketchbook is beautiful 🥰. I love experimenting with different kinds of materials in my sketchbook as well .😄
Oh! So you’re also a mix media artist? 😊 that’s so fun!
Hi Marta! From what I've seen so far, your sketchbooks are great, in general, I've noticed no artist (me included!) really likes their sketchbooks or finds them aesthetic, maybe we like a few pages but not the whole thing, I think its just our own self-critic, cause honestly, I find yours both aesthetic & pretty consistent!
I think all this experimenting your doing is really awesome 💙
Thank you for these words, I hadn’t thought of that but maybe you’re right! We are our own hashes critics 🥲 I’m still going on though and having lots of fun experimenting more 🤭⭐️
@@MartaTaylor I thought it will make you feel less alone in your sketchbook journey, I know it did for me. Even in the prettiest of sketchbook tours I've seen, the artists will say they're not good at keeping a pretty sketchbook! 🙈 Glad to hear you're having fun, that's the point, right? 😊
I love how real you are in showing your work, even the imperfect bits, which I find really refreshing as an art novice as i'm nowhere near being able to do asthetic sketchbook pages.There's so much here i love but the one that really caught my eye was the cute Red Panda doodle . Can't wait to see more of your work 😊
P.s. The Mop Dog (loved the colours you used btw) often refers to a Hungarian breed called a Komondor (There's also a similar Hungarian breed smaller in size called a Puli).
I understand how you feel! I wish there were more messy sketchbooks shown out there… 😊 and yes!! Thank you for telling me the dog breed! I needed to know it 😂👏
Wow, one sketchbook per month?! That's incredible. Very pretty sketchbook, I love how loose every page is! And the sketches of the big trees and the doggies are so good ❤
I know! It’s a big task a sketchbook a month 😅 but so far I’m really enjoying it!
You really truly understand what art is. You understand that art can just be scribbles and still be art.
Thank you! It's all about having fun and letting go ☺
@@MartaTaylor ya! Yesterday you inspired me to also do that so when I saw one of my pages that was small covered up drawing or a page that a skipped, I just drew something, no reference and no trying to perfect it! It felt amazing.
awww yay!!! This makes me so happy 🥰 I hope you keep feeling inspired! I've got just a few pages to finish in my current sketchbook so hopefully soon I'll give you a new tour 😊@@-MansBestFriend
Well this is a fun sketch book tour. I can see how a lot of these sweet drawings end up in children’s books. I have a question -what kind of crayons are you using that are so vibrant and smooth, and what kind of paper is in your sketchbook? (I know…that’s 2 questions😏.
Thank you! I'm using the neocolour pastels II and a royal talent mix media sketchbook. These pastels are sooo fun and colourful! 😄
Pleased to have found your TH-cam channel. Your artwork is so pretty. I’m hoping to start my TH-cam journey soon too, and I’m working on a children’s book idea too. Love what you are doing! ❤Lou xxx
Oh, sounds wonderful 😊 Nice that you’ve got a new book project, I hope that you’ll be able to get it published this year! 💕
Love your journey and sketchbook what brand is it, looks nice love that it's big.😅
W0as intrigued by the thumbnail, stayed for the content. This made my inner child happy, thank you
Aww I’m really happy to hear that, thank you 😊✨
Thank you so much for sharing! I really enjoyed this sketchbook and the openness, as someone on my own youtube journey with dreams of writing and illustrating it was so nice to see someone else! I look forward to more, definitely going to check out your work ❤ -Shaina
Thank you! I'm finding people here on TH-cam are just as supportive and nice as you, and for me just starting out here it's sooo nice 🥰
Marta: "I can't make it pretty, I'm sorry."
Me: 😍
Awww thank you 🫣🫣💕
This was very refreshing to watch. Love all the colors 😊
Thank you! 😊👏
I loved this flip of your very pretty sketchbook. Very inspiring. I love the idea of memories of your childhood as a theme. Im doing it! Thank you!
Oh, I hope you enjoy drawing your childhood, too 😊💕
I like that star one the 2 page spread don’t change that one
I like the yellow spotted animals one too for some reason the one with the snake
It’s curious that somehow some of the spreads I like least are the ones others like most 🫣 guess we’re our own harshest critics! 😊💕
@@MartaTaylor we are for sure haha
A Beautiful video, Marta :) You are doing awesome.
Could you please share which crayons you use? They are so bright!
Thank you! The crayons I’m using are the Caran d’Ache Neocolours pastels II 😊👏
Holaa, soy nueva suscriptora, me encantan tus videos , y amo demasiado tus sketchbooks, feliz de estar aquí y ver tu arte , es precioso. saludos desde Chile
Muchas gracias!! ☺️💕 Chile! Que bonito! Me encantaría ir algún día de viaje 😍
I wish you didn't say that things are bad! I totally think specific critique about what you don't like is useful, but honestly I like some of the messier and sketchier stuff. It's also interesting to find things that you DO like about the art that you don't like!
Also I can see the furry little peach influence 🍑 do you have other artists who influence your style? :~)
My favourite bits: the spotty yellow animals! The big flowing tree! The drawing in the train! And all the birds at the end!
You are totally right! We can be our worse critics sometimes… 🥲 I liked how FLP played with negative space backgrounds so I gave it a go 😊 I do love Rousseau since a girl, we had one of his paintings in our house, but I grew up drawing manga from Inu Yasha 🤭🤭
Love it❤ it inspire me to start a sketchbook! What type of crayons do you use?
Aww I love to hear that! I am using the neocolour ll pastels 😄
Thank you so much!❤️ oh they look really pigmented i hace to try them.
Love it!❤ what sketchbook and watercolor did u use?
I’m using a Royal Talens mix media A4 sketchbook, I find them affordable and quite strong for a lot of mix media 😊
love it!!
Thank you so much for being supportive 🫣💕
700th thumbs up 😍
Thank you!!! 🥰
Hello Marta! Loved the tour. What sketchbook are you using?
Thank you! I’m using the royal talens mix media A4 sketchbook 😊 it’s good for many mix media’s, but if you use a lot of water it’s not the best…
This encourages me I’m actually a decent artist but I suffer from idiotic behavior because I throw my art away I need this because your art shines through so much! I just found you and love your art ❤
Oh, don’t throw your art away! Keep it all to see your own progress over the years 😊💕
I really enjoy the artworks unfolding within your sketchbook. They have beautiful colors and atmosphere.
Thank you a lot! It’s nice to hear since I find it a bit messy 🫣 thanks for the motivation! 💕
