[@RobinSealark]

[@jg-nw9et]

I really love 10:44 it reminds me of When I was younger like waaay younger. I would say like 7th and 8th grade. I had a habit of making half finished peices... most if them were watercolor or pastel and at times acrylic. And my art teacher (I was real close to him) would get frustrated at me because I never finished it and at the time I didnt relise the patience and trust that art takes but my teacher tried to teach me that to show me that all things beautiful take time. But me the thick headed person that I am would just discard it and start something new, going back to old ideas that had worked for me, doing the same thing over again because it was what I was good at. So one day I came in, it was the last day of school of my 8th grade year and my last class teacher had let me skip and come to the art room (she had no class then). And in there I saw my half finished pieces on the tables, all my landscapes and portraits. Outlined and shaded and with detail all with an ink pen. He says to me (I dont remember exact words), I want to show you to never give up on something because it was too hard or it didnt for you. The beauty of art is that one idea transforms to another and although it may not be that idea in your head it is still art. Art is such a forgiving passion because the mistakes you make are so easy to fix and so easy to learn from them. All these painting and works that you trashed because it wasn't the right blue? Or her skin was to pink or that light house was to big? Or the colors muddles together. This one you through away because you accidentally used black in the middle of the painting. But I am showing you now that wonderful things can be made out of the mistakes you made. That black smudge is now a tree. And the muddled waves of water are now more defined, all because of the works of one black pen and patience. Anyway my teacher said more but that's what stood out to me. So when I saw your painting and what you said about how she looked like a pig and how the colors muddled together but you then added the details with the fine liner and saw the prettiness in the portait you took me back in time and I feel like this painting just spoke to me. Everything about it from the way you painted her expression to the detail in her hair it just reminded to slow down and trust in the process. Thank you,

[@Levongrova]

This is the best art related comment I've read in my life. I'm actually in tears right now because I never finsish any of my art pieces either because it's not perfect enough, takes too much time, I compare myself too much to others or I'm not patient and so many other things. I'm grateful to have seen this comment so thank you 😊

[@finleyfeist147]

This is so inspirational. Seeing all the sketches and pieces in a variety of explorative styles and mediums really makes me want to open my sketchbook and get loose trying something new.

[@RobinSealark]

heck yeah :))))) that makes me so happy

[@gwenttreebeard]

I love the one-by-one shots of the finished products, seeing them all together and all completed has made me really eager to make something this weekend. I haven't painted in a few months because of school, but for once I'm actually ahead and available this weekend and maybe I can play with my gouache :)

[@RobinSealark]

dude this is awesome. Thank you for the feedback. so good to hear that kind of reaction :)

[@urmomurmom1276]

Yes! I love sketchbook tours! Thank you! I love your art so much!!! I have never been so early!

[@rafk1048]

I love sketchbook tours. Six sketchbook tours in one video sounds like heaven. I adore you Robin ♥️

[@bkdgbasura]

Glad to see you back!! And I'm so happy to see you continue with your message of creative exploration!! 💖

[@TheLightsandcandy]

I love love love your sketchbook work! It's my favorite work of yours!

[@RobinSealark]

Wow! Thank you! It’s always surprising but exciting to hear that ha

[@frizsid]

So good to have you back.❤❤❤

[@haileyvohs1176]

This video makes me feel less insecure about my art. I used to think my art was bad or people didn’t like it because it was different, and weird, and none of it seemed to go together. A lot of it was not super detailed or it was just blobs sometimes, your art reminds me that it doesn’t matter what it looks like, it’s the proses that counts ❤️

[@ashleysart8837]

Such an inspiration! I love seeing other people’s work

[@anamariefalk3796]

I absolutely love seeing stuff like this!

[@amberoakley334]

Started watching you 2 years ago so glad your back love your videos and your art!!! 🙂

[@julzjupiter347]

I really enjoy every single video on your channel! 🙌😊 And especially this one, it was very interesting to see your older artworks, to watch you transform them and cut them and put them into plastic bags. :) I really found watching this one not only enjoyable but also satisfying and soothing! 💖 Thank you for making videos and sharing and have a nice day! 💞💕❤️

[@CreativityCoffee]

Wow absolutely loving this video! Thank you for sharing your artwork and your process of transforming your sketches into finished art work ♥️👩🏻‍🎨🌞

[@SmillyDonut]

You look like you are doing so much better. I hope you are and I'm happy to see you healing. Love from Trinidad, Maria.

[@cassiehiltonart]

Thank you for making this video! It's very inspirng. I love all of your work, but I especially like your illustrations in this video. They seems so new, fresh, and exciting! I love the colors you use and your specific illustration style. I'm so happy you've been able to start sharing your artwork and artistic process with us again! :)

[@marissahamm]

So happy you're back. Your videos and art have always been hugely inspiring to me, so keep it up 👍

[@ReadinOutLoud]

thank you for this video robin truly. i do art since i was a kid and regularly so during my teenage years, i never took art seriously, when my friend took an art class in school, i had this mindset that im never gonna do art seriously no matter how im always unconsciously inclined towards sketching and doodling wherever and whenever, growing up in Malaysia, an asian household, i dont have anyone in the family taking serious career in the creative industry so i guess i could never do it seriously. After i finished degree and was cleaning out my childhood bedroom, i cleared out all the sketches and paintings ive done, through out my life, i threw them away thinking its no use for me to look back at it and i don't want to grow attached to it. After working as "adult job" for awhile, i got back into doing art again, cuz only now i realized that it is a form of escapism, i may not be able to make a living out of it (yet or never) but im doing it because i enjoy it and it takes my mind of things, and it gives me great satisfaction when i finish a piece. Idk where im going with this but thank you for reminding that old sketches and old sketchbook is important to remind an artist of how far they've grown as an artist AND a person. I wish i can go back in time and not throw all of my sketchbooks away...

[@jess9038]

Hi Robin! I love all of your work but mostly I really connect with the art talks you give. I can deeply relate to all the advice you give about not loving all of the pieces you make where you're unsure of the end result or any mixed feelings that get attached to unfinished work, doubt, creative blocks, pressures to perfect things etc. The dark side of being an artist is constantly striving to be the best when that in itself is an impossible task. Art should be about expression and not about perfection. But tell that to the artists lol thank you for all your insight and humor, you truly are an amazing and talented girl! 💓💓💓👏👏👏👏

[@mariaiqbalart]

totally agree with you "Art should be about expression and not about perfection." Unfortunately we artists punish ourselves for not being perfect.

[@bellebreeze]

I Love your channel. It's refreshing and original.

[@jemgem5854]

Omg yassss! I love your art journey and sketches.

[@RobinSealark]

Mmmm thank you so much 😀

[@loreereininger654]

I am so excited to see you posting videos again! It was like finding an old friend you'd thought was gone forever. I knew you were on a journey, and hoped we would get to see your awesomeness again. You have no idea the impact you have had on my art, in how I view it, how I embrace it, and accept it for what it is. I hope that you will continue with your journey, and that you will still come here to share. Much love Robin!

[@waadalsaidi5440]

I really loved watching this, great idea.. please make more of these xx

[@jeanperez1876]

"I love your art as well as your positivity we need more of you in this world for sure♥️♥️"

[@nae_6185]

Love it!!

[@melaniegutierrez2202]

hello out of nowhere i thought about how i havent seen you in a while so i decided to look you up and ive been watching all of the videos youve put out since the last year and i just have to say that its really comforting seeing that you got back to making art after no doing art for a period of time i haven't made art since around 9 months and your videos have gave me a little bit of hope that maybe i could go back to art someday thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your experiences youre so brave and seems like youve been getting better im so proud of you and im so happy of the progress youve made so far ❣

[@savyaaa9238]

your art inspires me so much!!

[@nayomii1377]

Over the past few months my motivation for art has gone. This video has really inspired me to try again, thank you so much...

[@RobinSealark]

That is so motivating to me

[@vanillalatteclouds]

I love art and Robin at the same time!!!!!💗

[@heatherbretsch8438]

Loved all of these pieces. I really enjoyed the landscape and illustrative ones!

[@poooperdoodle]

I just discovered your channel last month and your videos have helped me immensely with my art practice. Thank you!! 💕

[@ElenaHorlau]

Thank you for sharing your art, thoughts and processes with us! It is really inspiring and also inspired me to slowly start my own channel 💫

[@TheMysteryMustachio]

I’ve been subscribed to your channel since basically the very beginning and I always love your stuff but THIS!! I seriously feel like this is some of the most inspired and intriguing work you’ve done, cuz I can just feel how much FUN you were having with all of it!!! Watching you slowly move away from qualifying your art so strictly and now seeing the kind of creativity you can naturally produce, it’s so inspiring. I feel like this video is the biggest marker of change in all the content you’ve put out. I LOVE IT, now I’ve gotta go make art.

[@catterchiller732]

So glad to have you back! I hope you've found the start of the threads of healing you were looking for, I know how long and difficult that journey can be.

[@KiteSmiter]

Any day when Robin posts is a sunny day :) thank you for sharing these, I think it's so encouraging seeing people sharing sketches and unfinished work, I've been super down the last week and I was just about to finish two paintings and I started getting anxious the last 2 days of messing them up, this makes me want to just go for it :)

[@forestfolke]

love love seeing all of these.. the type of stuff that really makes you inspired to break out a sketchbook and just go wild! I'll always appreciate your videos for that

[@eliseasim8725]

I'm so happy you're doing well ❤ glad to see your work again. You're incredibly inspiring. Missed you😔❤❤

[@lorrainecatalina6928]

Aww!! I’m in Utah too! Hi! ❤️ much love, love your content :)

[@bugoftheleaves]

with my sketchbooks, i do feel less pressure because of an internal idea that i will not be showcases it to anyone. and so sometimes i do end up with things very different from what i normally make...especially in style. there's also a "diary" quality of keeping it secret and tucked away. which adds to my "just get these ideas out" version of creating that you mention. so watching you go back into these previously unshown works and turn them into a public showcase of work, to put them up for sale...really tips those ideas i hold about sketchbooks. and i like it! i like the idea of a quiet, personal sketchbook still holding plenty of chance to turn messy, experimental, idea-only things into something that doesn't need to be hidden. something, something, metaphors, something, something, art.

[@meg4649]

There's something about your videos and your art and your ideas and just sunshineyness in general that makes me feel motivated to do art. I know I'll always just do casual art or maybe something on the front of a birthday card or a small painting to put up in my room, but I enjoy it. Sometimes I feel like It's not good enough or I should be painting and stuff more formally, or that I'm wasting supplies because it almost never turns out exactly how I wanted, but I'm learning to accept some of the more imperfect parts of my art. Thank you for doing everything you do. :D

[@RobinSealark]

Wow that’s a really adding perspective. Thank you for saying that

[@FFigueira]

it was so nice at the intro I started dancing bc obviously with that music, and then you appeared and you were dancing just like me and then we were dancing together 🕺🕺🕺

[@iodinekaida2]

I love these, theyre so so fun.

[@agustinmunoz9825]

Gosh, everything is so beautiful

[@byrdeagle8116]

This makes me wanna go buy a new sketch book and I think I might be able to today I love the video by the way!!

[@mckennapowell]

Good ol' Salt Flats! The illustrated stuff looks really cool! Way to build skill across the board!👌

[@stacyflores362]

I love your art so much ❤ love the video

[@annak7895]

Woke up this morning to this groovy intro

[@Jelly4Telly]

Hey robin I hope you’re well! Your videos have helped me so much 💕

[@nbdyspcal]

your art really inspires me a lot

[@swipeswifejess3234]

I'm excited to watch this!

[@RobinSealark]

yay! did you do it? XP

[@sunayna6736]

I always wanna to see your sketchbook video. ...and today my dream come true😍😍❤❤

[@zabe_era]

I am so proud of you and all the work you've done in so many different ways during you KZbin "hiatus". Even though I missed your videos, your break was an inspiration all on its own as well 😊

[@jakewaitart9507]

I absolutely love this idea I have a few sketchbooks in mind that I’m already thinking of pages I could do this with

[@Uglyartworks]

We are exactly doing the same thing. Condensing & organizing... Refining & playing with supplies. I like to save things by category & use as references & things I might deem junky I can use in collages. Focusing is hard sometimes. I drink decaf... but on days when i neeed to concentrate i drink high test. helps me alot. The clear sheet is a nice idea. Was thinking of mounting on foam core. thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@tisfortori4521]

you have always expressed what an artist goes through in words perfectly. And that has helped me a lot in my own art. Every time I watch your videos I feel so creative afterwords. (:

[@aniamalanka3887]

Hi robin thank you for all your videos. You are so relatable, love to hear you rant

[@krtasiyezaman5445]

Perfect sketchbook👌👌👌😊😍

[@AlphaDrivers]

So cool to catch your video immediately 😍

[@RobinSealark]

hah yay helll ya

[@CharlottaSophia]

Oh fun! I’ve got a pile of sketchbooks.. fun to look through them 🙂 loving your videos as always. ♥️♥️

[@MD-nu8sc]

The pieces at 4:34 & 4:50 are so cool

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Wow, Robin! Incredible body of work. Dunno if I could release sketchbook pieces or originals that easily, but it would sure clean up the studio. Namaste'. 💖😃

[@falucinogena]

I'm filming my own scketchbook now as I see yours! They're gorgeous!

[@danikajennings4473]

I’m so happy you’re back. You are the KZbinr that helped me feel that it was possible to learn how to paint!!!

[@twocorndogs]

this inspires me so much thank you 💖

[@alexj4239]

“reward your mind with physical action” has completely reworked my idea of art and creation, I love that! thank you!

[@avaslays21]

You are so underrated I’m telling my friends about you right now!

[@shaynaaaaLol]

I’m so happy that you’re back Robin, you’ve been such a inspiration to me and have helped me find myself in the art community and continue to do that + push me to step out of my comfort zone, keep me motivated and eager to keep learning more. I hope one day we can make some art together ❤️💕💖 btw this video is amazing!

[@atilab99draws58]

aw heck yeah

[@greyareaRK1]

I love the energy in all your work. I learned at least four things just in this non-tutorial video, like I've been using gesso wrong on paper. You do make me want to art.

[@abc_xyz_is_me]

oh gosh, these illustrationist-leaning drawings are so good! the raw nature of it! there are some artists doing this style, raw and fluent, but i believe none of them is so versatile doing also oil or landscapes. wooh, really cool. nearly fainted at the end, hahahah. thanks!

[@alihomora1806]

This was soo inspiring, I love watching your process

[@lulluai]

This makes me want to start a sketchbook! loved the video ❤

[@FlowersinFebruary]

I’ve been really creatively uninspired this whole quarantine (for me that’s been 3 months) and this video inspired me to get back on the horse. Thanks robin ❤️

[@yenmink]

I really appreciate the message you shared, it was really refreshing & inspiring to hear :)

[@drewfrey7495]

Wow this is just pure talent 🥳

[@RobinSealark]

stahhp X)))

[@drewfrey7495]

Robin Sealark omg I love you so much I’m literally crying rn I’m so happy but I love your art so much this is not even a joke 😂❤️❤️

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Wow, very cool art. =) Thank you for sharing. =)

[@lisalisa-rd6np]

I hope you are doing well ☺️♥️ love youre art! such an inspiring fella 😘

[@faridaezzat3409]

whenever robin posts i just drop everything and make tea and watch her vids

[@mjpete27]

I was so glad to hear that you were continuing to do art even though you were not filming it for KZbin! One of my saddest regrets of this year was cutting off my support for artists on Patreon. You always have amazing positive posts! I just don’t have the time nor energy to participate. I have enjoyed Learning from you and the sketchbook as a tool for growth instead of a tool to compile ideas for a certain project or job is quite a feat for me! You have enriched my art life and I thank you. Please take care of yourself, be safe and enjoy your art journey.

[@Numbattery]

Your art is so beautiful! Not only the talent, you're also very skilled! You have great ideas, thank you for sharing them

[@emilookira]

So excited when I saw you post a new video! Needless to say I was not disappointed :)

[@rafaelmontoito8701]

obsessed with the ones at 4:41 and 4:44

[@kirstenhefling2239]

YOURE BACK!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@sMari-hq6li]

you’re so inspiring

[@stopbeingana-hole4151]

All of them were so amazing 😭

[@riteasrain]

Been following your journey many years now. Finally decided to sub seeing your lovely new vids ❤

[@ajhebard7154]

love this

[@grant2279]

When i saw the sketch of Miley i knew i had to buy it !!

[@RoseEvans01]

this makes me wanna art more

[@verueblue]

So inspiring! It gave me a whole new perspective on what to draw :) Edit: also love the atmosphere! It made me so happy in the morning

[@JNDS.Creates]

You are such a great inspiration. I’m not a full time artist, But I would love to get to that point. I’m so ignorant to the process of selling work and how to even get myself out there. Watching your process of getting ready to sell work has been so curious. If you have any resources you could share about the process of selling work and getting out there that would be amazing.

[@youssrakabbaj4148]

I miss u, your paintings are extraaa i love it

[@sanaa.2195]

Girllll I went yesterday to buy a new sketchbooks 🤩🤩🤩

[@celiablanchard9060]

I love the illustrative feel to some of them! I've been obsessed with illustrative art recently and I've pinned so much of it on Pinterest. I'm still trying to experiment and figure out the best way to make my stuff more like beautiful illustrations that I've seen.

[@itcomesinpints6599]

Absolutely loved this video & I have a whole new way to look & enjoy my sketch books! Could you share what you used in between layers of different mediums?

[@ch3rrycoke]

Ah! The girl at 4:19 - i also drew her in march, first time using oil pastels, i was so happy how it turned out

[@elijahdean7337]

I got a notification for this video and was super confused because you had slipped my mind entirely... Really loved the video and I’m glad I actually clicked

[@Shebacca6001]

Ughhhh I could never sell my sketch’s from my sketchbooks! It’s so nice and amazing to be able to to look back on your sketchbooks!

[@bismamariyam2534]

Ohh Robin I miss uh so much 🌺
