200+ page super chatty sketchbook tour! | 2016-2022

Ahoy! This'll be baby's first public(?) sketchbook flipthrough, especially one that's THIS LONG 8,D I took IB Art in HS so I'm sorta used to explaining the bits and pieces of my sketchbook, which is why it's so dang long of a video. Hopefully it's not too much of a boring monologue/storytime :,D
I tried to label things as they show up in the video, but for the links and anatomy book references, I'm including the links here:

You know it’s a good sketchbook when the pages go ~ And it has LAYERS

[@cosumosu_art]

LOLL thank you! I love seeing a sketchbook get chonky as I make my way through it >:^D

[@kierusekai]

Fun tour! It's exciting how many little drawings and bits you have in one book! I am compelled to add, though, you have one of Moleskine's journals there, rather than a sketchbook. They make ones specifically for art stuff with much thicker paper than the journals, I would advise you give one of those a try sometime! They'll hold up much better, though they don't have quite so many pages in one book ;)

[@cosumosu_art]

OHHHH that makes a lotta sense, thanks for the clarification! lsdkjfs that's so funny I totally thought that they'd given me an art journal since i was speaking to an art class X,D I'd love to try more mixed media sketchbooks for actual artmaking and maybe use journals like these for art-journaling!

[@addisonsadventures3199]

in my opinion, anything can be considered as a sketchbook. my friend uses notebooks typically, and i have multiple brands i use, like exceed and superiormaker, which are bullet journals, then a couple years ago i used illo. i will probally never have another giant sb like that 😅 im not saying i dont like regular sketchbooks, you can uses whatever paper or sketchbooks,but personally *i am trying to find a good sketchbook off of amazon, so if you have any recommendations, that would be great! ❤*

[@cosumosu_art]

@@addisonsadventures3199 admittedly I'm not too picky about my sketchbooks so i don't have any fancy recommendations for ya, but I like Canson sketchbooks, and if they're available in your area, Clairfontaine GRAF it 90g sketchpads bc they have tear-away pages that I can paste into my artjournals ^__^)b

[@barrington5438]

Great work. The witch hunter oc’s concept was cool. Not being able to stop smiling would definitely creep people out, but would be very entertaining

[@cosumosu_art]

aww thank you! i admit I don't have much of a plot for him, but it's fun to try out expressions using him as a base! ^__^

[@killrib01]

The inspiration Im getting from you rn is amazing, even though this is my first time Ive ever seen your art I love it already

[@cosumosu_art]

this comment is so sweet and made my day, thank you! ;w;

[@ActionCat2000]

You have MAD anatomical rendering skills. Those spinal columns are superb!

[@cosumosu_art]

aww thank you! I def remember feeling challenged by trying to render those due to the references being so small 8,D

[@okayfine.2591]

i your art style is absolutely stunning! i’m also studying anatomy and i find this sketchbook very inspiring, this has given me a big boost of motivation so thanks for that ❤

[@cosumosu_art]

thank you and good luck on your anatomy journey! May's comin' up in a few months so maybe you can try your hand at it as well ;^D anatomy can be pretty intimidating but even just practicing 3d shapes can help improve ur hand at it, just keep sketchin'! ^o^)b

[@janskt8032]

Ahhhh I love your occ she looks amazing and beautiful!!💖 and the little drawings that fill up an entire page are so cute!😭 I rlly like your art style!:D

[@happymysterysmiles5555]

[@ozzy_wozzy]

Its really nice to see a rly *thicc* sketchbook tour, since all of the tours i normally see are just *thicc* pages and not a lot of pages in the sketchbook, so yea. New sub!

[@cosumosu_art]

aww thank you! it's sorta like a visual diary(?) but I enjoy playing around in an artjournal more often than I do a fancy sketchbook anyways ^o^)b

[@rigel423]

[@jennzvx]

underrated! love your work

[@agrafenabaharava3852]

if you have the classic one the paper is worse but they also sell mix media sketchbooks and the paper quality is so much better, it has less pages though, keep in mind

[@NightPhoenixPress]

Your art looks great!

[@shiroleo9104]

Love your arts❤😊

[@ronaldsanimaladventures1692]

Excellent work on the sketchbook.🙂 All that practice is paid off.😎👍👍

[@cosumosu_art]

thank you! life is definitely just an endless exercise in learning new things ^__^)b

[@ashy_inking1476]

This is amazing

[@strawbelene]

I am inlove with your art please do more if you can :000 !

[@cosumosu_art]

thank you! I'll see about recording my older sketchbooks and edit 'em ^o^)b

[@Gleamiarts]

your sketchbook is so cool

[@cosumosu_art]

thank you!! I admit I didn't think anyone would find it interesting because it's so...chatty LOL but it really means a lot! ^o^)

[@loop5441]

dude this is seriously amazing!! What editing program do you use (if you use one) before you post these. I'm thinking of making my own tour one day :>

[@cosumosu_art]

thanks! I use the free version of DaVinci Resolve since I'm still trying to learn to edit videos ^_^)b

[@cheddart]

love the sketchbookk!! hello from a fellow mixed wasian artist lol

[@K009tv]

BUSSIN!! 😄

[@cosumosu_art]

SDKFJDALFKJSDFLKDJ HI KATAAAA

[@negnoms]

i love your art this was so nice to watch!!

[@Evelynn501]

Ooo fire emblem!!

[@mikespiegel5990]

Personally I hate working in sketchbooks with bad paper quality, so I can't take their sketchbooks, but I love moleskine planners

[@cosumosu_art]

ahaha yeah I getcha! There's some sort of freedom in having a mid-quality sketchbook in that you don't have to worry about "messing up" and can just play around ^o^

[@lisi....]

Nice art

[@rogue_rode6865]

THE ANATOMY IS🤯 did you learn on your own? If so what’s the process you went throughhh. I struggle so much😭

[@cosumosu_art]

thanks! a lot of it was self-study, but if you have the time and the funds, Steve Ahn used to host a boot-camp sort of online class that teaches anatomy. I actually took it on accident, but it's still good info! Otherwise, doing daily studies from the magazines/books I listed have been helpful, as does gesture drawing and life drawing from people watching (well...it was, back before covid...). best of luck on your art journey dude!

[@Mochicchino]

♥

[@mothscameraroll]

moleskin has a good sketchbook that's different from the normal ones that have art paper

[@another-artist]

I want to try this so much!! I should give it a try but considering it's 200+ pages, it'll probably cost lots of money ;-;

[@cosumosu_art]

i'd say go for it with any sketchbook that you have, even a notebook! art journaling is supposed to be fun and a way to play around, so working with what you have is just as good ^o^)b

[@another-artist]

@@cosumosu_art i do have sketchbooks and stuff however I end up not liking most of them because they're all unfinished or theyre all mainly pen/pencil and rarily colorful. rly gotta learn how to artbook better ;_;

[@cosumosu_art]

​@@another-artist aww I getcha! I have a handful of sketchbooks that are just pen/pencil, or are unfinished too, but not every one needs to be super colorful to spark joy! This one was started in 2016 and I'd left it alone for 3 years before coming back to it, so finishing things can be a real challenge! Maybe you can cut out the pieces you like out of some other sketchbooks and paste 'em into one and focus on finishing that ONE sketchbook? I'll see if I can record a sketchbook tour of some of my sketchbooks that are mostly pencil/pen at some point!

[@change5981]

У тебя прикольный стиль 🖐😊

[@HaleyMacGillivray]

😊h

[@caramelogato_]

make more videos pleeeeaaaseeee

[@cosumosu_art]

I do have a few older sketchbooks, so maybe I can do a tour of those too, thank you for enjoyin the vid!

[@SamLyn]

Moleskin makes heavier paper notebooks

[@Saltheartz]

What type of sketchbook is it?

[@cosumosu_art]

it's apparently not actually a sketchbook at all? but a blank moleskine journal I was given! I don't recommend this to draw in, but the comments informed me that moleskine has an actual sketchbook line that fares way better ahaha

[@fraldarivs]

fe3h? im in

[@kittyjasper302]

10:58 s.u.s

[@KatsuraOG]

This is awesome. If you want to check out my first ever scetchbook tour, I'll be posting it around Nov. 1, after I finish inktober.

[@KAYX20]

Ummm.. ummmmm... Ummmmm.. ummmmm..

[@stanloona000]

The pages look very thin... You sure this is not a moleskine notebook and not a proper sketchbook?

[@Bloomkyaaa]

That print was sooooo good. Do you have any social media I can follow?

[@space_cad3tt]

I love your art!Do you have a instagram to follow???

[@cosumosu_art]

ahhh i do, but I don't post very often on it! it's "shieunshi" and I think the last post was probably a few weeks/months ago LOLLL
