Dude, copying other artists is a normal practice to learn. It's actually what you're SUPPOSED to do. Just like you don't learn an instrument by composing your own songs. I discovered this recently and I feel so mad for thinking I shouldn't do it for YEARS. So don't apologize. It's called a study (and not a copy) and every good artists do it

[@cristinalikesburritos]

It's not an apology, it's a disclaimer. She knows it's good and normal : )

[@maybekatie]

yes!!! I heard the quote, "you have to imitate before you can innovate" recently~ I think this to myself allllll the time now and it helps me so much with insecure feelings about my artistic journey 💖

[@sweetpeabee4983]

Oh, for sure. Same reason reading broadly helps you learn to write better! Learning by example and seeing what you like in others' work are huge in improving your own.

[@-Homosapian-]

When i was 12 i thought copying peoples art was cheating somehow because you didnt actually come up with it 💀😔🖐️

[@hvemopfandtslipset]

Learning to play a new instrument is such a good comparison!

[@emmagillette6249]

Also, emulation is what they taught me to do in my sketchbooks in art school, so no finger wagging should make you feel bad for a normal and healthy art practice. haha!

[@cheyennebarton]

that's what i'm sayin!!! i know it's a good and normal practice, but folks have gotten on me about it in previous sketchbook tours so i wanted to put a disclaimer this time hahah

[@helloena]

cheyenne: this is my whatever sketchbook me: the perfection, the beauty, the inspiration, my uwus are immeasurable

[@kayleighholmes6991]

One of these rough sketchy pages with the overlap of two colours would be a STUNNNNNNNNING print. I can picture it on my wall :)

[@LeighEllexson]

SO FUN! Thank you for the tour :-) love the way your doodles look together and the way you compose them over the two pages !!

[@n3rdboink]

it always blows my mind how much effort you put into your brand and how crisp and well-edited your videos are :0

[@BethDooner]

Okay but that "shortcomings in the recreation of their style is the strength of your own style" is life changing! It's also interesting to look at artists whose work you like but is stylistically very different from your own, like... I love how expressive your work is and it's something I'm struggling to find in my own work. May be doing a few little recreations of my own ;)

[@melissasullivan1658]

Her style is very consistent which I’m super jealous of! Mine always look like 30 different people created them. 🥺

[@ekdukes]

Perhaps a youtube comment isn’t always the best place to share intimate details, but I just want you to know your content, your art, listening to your voice and talking abt mental health and getting older and all the things, is so soothing + comforting to me. My partner and I are about to move to Las Vegas from the east coast (in two days!!) and I’m thrilled to be moving. But of course, moves are stressful + annoying + all the things. I have some last minute work to do before we leave and felt no energy to get out of bed - depressive spell slapped me in the face all over again. I’d missed this video so I turned it on, started working on things, fed myself food, made some coffee, and watched my mood climb out of heaviness. All of this to say, when come the days you feel imposter syndrome or worried no one really cares, a gal in Atlanta->Vegas appreciates + respects your art more than you know

[@annikawaii]

Emulation is sooo important to figure out your own style. Love that you keep explaining that. 🙏☺️ Also I'm very glad that you offer physical rewards on Patreon. 🥰

[@karenjaranilla9615]

why am i crying at the fact that i have the same birthday as her sketchbook?? i would die for this woman???

[@lizzyjorgensen9713]

whenever cheyenne uploads it’s like getting a gift from mom in acnh ❤️

[@isabellaponce4244]

Vlogs like this one help me soo much. It gives me such a burst of motivation that i watch one like every day.

[@lunarobinson3797]

ikr xx

[@ayahbensalim]

my god your sketches are SO CLEAN

[@OnlyMusic16]

I love to see artists learning from other artists. I don't sketch, but I write, and I think my writing is always best after I've been inspired by/gotten deep into the flow of another writer I admire. I love your advice about how the differences in our art style is where our strengths lie. Such an awesome and comforting message

[@user-of2ci8ur7z]

every time i watch one of your videos i get something productive done what is this magic

[@adnisa1001]

i'm 32 this year, inshaAllah :) and i'm glad that i found your channel. i like your drawing, unintentionally you motivate me to draw again, and i like your chatty vlog so i can improve my english and also i like your music on the video coz it makes me feel relax. Watching our video make me sane while being a working mom. Thank u!

[@MatthewRobinsArt]

No finger wagging here! Imo that's one of the best ways to learn. It's how I taught myself growing up and still teach myself. Love your work and sketchbook! Late happy birthday and have a great day!

[@kayasmith1804]

you give off cool elementary school teacher energy , i live for it

[@helloena]

"was this around the time of the mental breakdown I had in February, mayhaps?" ...lol mood

[@rachelchoong8348]

Did anyone else have dejavu when she started her sketchbook tour? Cause it immediately teleported me to the first sketchbook tour video she did and that makes me so happy! 🥰

[@spiperweb]

that sketchbook started on my birthday! feels like such an honor 😊 also, vlogging seems really tough. so thanks for all the effort you put into this vid, cheyenne. ✨

[@danyelle7564]

I love how honest your sketchbook is. I have to remind myself that it’s a place where you learn and experiment so you can grow as an artist. 10/10 👌🏾

[@aerieauriea]

It's sooo so lovely to see you grow so confident in your artwork and your styles over the years :) I'm so proud of you and your journey ♥

[@JulieKArt]

the cut scene at 27 minutes took my breath away!! 27 looks good on you!! enjoyed this vlog immensely, thank you as always!

[@chantal2067]

Love, love, love the videos where we get to see you package and organize your postcards and stationary and stuff!!

[@helloena]

"I have all the songs from inside stuck in my head and I'm worried it might not actually be good for me." yep. Yes. uh-huh. Cheyenne you are too relatable, please continue.

[@maybekatie]

MY FAV PEN IS ALSO THE PILOT G2 0.38. it is literally p e r f e c t i o n

[@cheyennebarton]

IT'S THE PERFECT PEN i've been on this hype since high school, it's superior

[@maybekatie]

​@@cheyennebarton TRULY. it's refillable, it doesn't smudge, it's the perfect tip size; cannot be beat

[@mckamy4711]

This is the first time I've come across your channel, and I just wanna say I love how you overlap your drawings and take up every possible part of the page, they work very well together and feel very organic to me. I tend to have a lot of empty space between my sketches so this has made me want to work on that!

[@annaj323]

i loved this video and your sketchbook is such a joy! it's lovely to see that you've really found a way of 'sketchbooking' that works for you and that makes you love the progress. i feel like i can tell from this video that with this sketchbook you've created something you're very fond of, regardless of things being perfect or whatever. it's very exciting and inspiring to see something like that, something where the creating part was more important (and the main source of the enjoyment) rather than its 'presentability'. it really is a joy.

[@georbian]

So happy with this new vid! I hope you’re doing okay, safe, healthy, and happy! Because, you’re making me happy. I love you Chey! And Connor! And Sophie! 💚💚💚

[@mariah4197]

I usually watch/play your videos esp the draw with me ones whenever I'm very anxious and having anxiety attacks. I enjoy them so much.

[@MichelleSMV]

Loved the sketchbook tour. I've honestly been in a drawing rut for such a long time now between work and being a dog mom, but videos like these are so encouraging to watch. Your art is adorable and it's great you do studies of other artists in your sketchbook too! We should all keep learning and improving on ourselves. Much love 💕

[@Skyjin0]

Link!……Linnnnk😩 Lol, so funny how passionate you are about Link. Beautiful work. Love your sketchbook tours

[@kaybee7860]

please do more crochet videos!! i loved the last one so much i started crocheting too!! :D

[@kaylakms]

HAPPY 27th!! It’s amazing to watch your channel grow

[@remochii]

This is probably my favourite sketchbook tour ever! 💕✨

[@veesvoyages]

Great vlog! Those stamps are super cute!! I love seeing the behind the scenes of your work and your packing and sorting through your work for customers💞

[@leafkat7827]

Love the popping colors and the positive energy 💕

[@gremlingrandparent]

really appreciated this lil vid today, my chronic illnesses are flaring and i've been in pain all day but this was a nice little brain break for me, also love you bunches and happy belated birthday 💕

[@cheyennebarton]

love u sweetpea

[@sky3bb]

Omg I’m so happy I found your Chanel 🥰 your vids are so calming and fun to watch… also they inspire me to practice my art so thank you ☺️ ☀️

[@constantly_nervous]

I ADORE your art so much! It’s like a present for my eyes every timeツ

[@sweetpeabee4983]

Yay! This was lovely to wind down to this evening, thank you!! 🧡

[@Calibizaro]

You should consider doing children's book illustration! Your style is so whimsical, fun, and joyful! It's perfect!! (I should know... I studied children's books and literature in college and I have a large collection of picture books that no adult without children should boast, lol!)

[@fayevalentines]

i’m halfway through the video but all the pointy hats in your art made me think that maybe you would really enjoy the manga witch hat atelier!! the art is so wonderful i recommend it a lot🧙🏼‍♀️✨

[@moonychronicles9413]

This vlog simply fixed my day, I love you

[@andrijanarico193]

I already see how much your art is improved! Really enjoyed watching this vlog! It's always great to explore and improve your skills through other artists work as long as you don't copy it.

[@RhomanysRealm]

Anyone who hates on you for ‘copying’ another artist in your sketchbook to learn, will get a hell of a shock if they go to art school because that’s 80% of what you do.

[@aimeecreative]

I literally gasped out loud when I saw this on KZbin! ❤️

[@intergalacticpeachpatrol]

just gorgeous. love your work and your vibes and you! ✨💕

[@norinette_]

I always love your sketchbook tours ❤️ the blue ink over the black makes it seem like another dimension the cold ghost parallel world maybe 😊

[@maucat29]

@15:18 If you modpodge the paper before you use it you can paint on it with acrylics and gouache without it buckling and warping!! I have a VERY cheap sketchbook that I do this in and it works wonders!

[@mimisreads3038]

I absolutely love the bit where you show yourself drawing at the beginning !! (I just started the video lol) I’ve been trying to draw in pen too and it’s so hard but I love how you make is look so easy and adorable !! ✨✨

[@martiisor]

Now that I know how tedious vlogs are to edit, your vlogs BLOW my mind :0 seriously amazing, especially since they're long too! Going to play around in my sketchbook while watching this one today

[@raydashietwitwi3955]

It's very rainy outside today and I'm in a bit of a productive mood. This came at just the right time.

[@hey_its_abs]

Wow, I hadn’t noticed how long it’d been since I’d done much sketching or how much I miss it. Thank you :)

[@minnie4291]

those stamps look soo good!!!!

[@jessketh]

may i just say you look radiant !!!!

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

First and foremost, those guillotine earrings, amaaaaaazing! Second, studying other artists’ work and styles is practice. We all do it, and I’m happy you made a point to talk about “How to Steal Like an Artist” by Austin Kleon. Great quick read with so many spot on points!

[@natalieblackman366]

I look forward to your vlogs , thank you for producing them. Would love to see some Sophie sometimes x

[@goghfurther]

Wow, i felt the “hands are hard for no reason” thing... i love your sketchbook, trying to figure out how to use mine. I burned myself out and my brain has redefined what a sketchbook is that i have to redefine it again to keep using it lol

[@Joy-qj5kk]

Whenever Annabelle posts I also want to draw but alas, I cannot. So it's lovely that someone else can and does :)

[@tinymillymakes]

Love love love you and your vlogs! Love the earrings, love your clothing style, and I love your art style. I emulate the style of those I love all the time also so don’t feel bad about it!

[@mm-dy1rb]

Thank you so much for showing that you also study other artists. I learned that this was the way to learn and grow (of course, not passing it off as your own) and it became stigmatized. It makes sense because there is alot of art theft on the internet. But not everyone is trying to steal art. Putting the @handle is a good idea

[@janscribbles]

Your characters always look so gender neutral, I think that’s what I like the most about your art!

[@perladonjuan4319]

Oooo I’ve never been so early. Thank you for a lovely video. 🥰

[@michellefrank3952]

Hope you had an awesome birthday🥰

[@AshleyIsArtsy]

I love the way you draw breath of the wild Link in particular, he just looks so soft and windswept. I have daydreamed about a Princess Zelda print from botw in your style and now I'm rethinking my choice of character, haha

[@maddievanbuskirk]

your videos help me when my motivation to draw is flagging- thank you :)

[@charlottedeany7356]

Your sketchbook is so nice to look at!

[@HoneyDaengdej]

I love your vlogs :) thanks for inspiring me to pursue my creative interests!

[@cosmicsky1524]

I love your videos it's so healing 💜

[@cosmicsky1524]

Your channel too so healing 😊

[@augustatkinsonillustration5341]

Happy Birthday!

[@totallymarceline]

im turning 19 this year and as i edge closer to 20 its just AHHH scary but exciting! I live on my own, i'm out and living proudly as myself and everything feels good, but ya know its scary bc i kinda miss the simplicity of being a little kid. although being an adult has treated me well so far

[@AnooshaSyed]

Loveee your pages with all those overlapping sketches!

[@chandrareaux6700]

Happy birthday!

[@FineSaltGrains]

hey, i’m not sure if this is a rude question or something you shouldn’t ask but where do you order your art prints and stickers from? i know a lot of artists don’t like to talk about or share where they get there prints from, so just curious. i’m wanting to start an etsy shop of my art prints :) thank you!

[@cheyennebarton]

not a rude question at all!! i change up my manu's a fair bit, but i'm ordering my patreon stickers from Sticker Ninja and the postcard prints from Moo !! i would also recommend CatPrint for art prints (never been disappointed w them), and StickerApp for stickers!! I use them for my clear stickers/sticker sheets :-)

[@FineSaltGrains]

@@cheyennebarton thank you so much! i will look into those :)

[@aeternianstories]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who watches Dimension 20's Fantasy High in the background all the time ^-^ What an amazing campaign!

[@mattyspratt9906]

my dude i love this so much, the drawings, the lovely voiceover that isnt too much, the gender neutral pronouns for all the artists you talk about... i could go on! i keep pausing to just absorb everything. this gives me so much motivation to just go and draw! :)

[@AtelierArts]

I just found this channel and I LOVE IT! I love your art so much and it's really inspiring to my channel as well💛💛💛

[@byJessicaElena]

I LOVED THIS!!! Makes me wanna draw more on paper/in a sketchbook!! I'm so scared of it lmao

[@meganlobrien]

Level 27 😆👏💙 happy birthday! (Belated) 🥳

[@StudioHannah]

I’m eager to get my shop to the point where I can pack orders and send them off in batches like this. I know it’s a lot of hard work, but it’s a kind of work that I enjoy. Nothing wrong with copying as long as you’re doing it for practice and not just stealing someone else’s hard work. Copying is a great way to learn and stretch our skills.

[@didepux251]

Hey Chey, happy birthday. 21th nune was my birthday, and i must say that the best decade of my life is this. I am 43, and 40s are the best. Hang on. You will see! ♥️🌸

[@Andyapolis]

Ahh! I love your sketchbook! I'm the same and I copy a lot of artists whose style I really like to figure out what I like about their work and translate that to my own style. I also find it hard to stylize things from real life so I often find drawn versions of things and compare them to real life to get a better understanding of the thing. :)

[@Liz-lk1tl]

such a lovely vid! I also feel very cool for using the same lavendaire notebooks and label maker as you lol

[@katherinescheld]

Loved it! I copy artists in my sketchbook all the time, highly recommend it too! Thank you for sharing your work!

[@ashrickettsstudio]

I love your sketchbook! I'm trying to be less perfectionist about my own, but with only a few pages left I think I'm really going to get as rough as I like on the next one! thanks for the cozy sketchy vibes Cheyenne

[@meepitydoodle]

Eeee I love messy sketchbooks!! They make me happy (mines also a mess although I keep falling into the "everything has to be perfect, everyone is going to see this" mindset :/

[@alisalopes3524]

Hey there Cheyennne! I love your videos, and have a quick recomendation for you. 😄 One of my favorite teas is actuallly strawberry, I think you'd like it. I put a single spoonful of sugar, and since it's a fruit tea milk doesn't taste the best in it. Have an amazing day, love your stamps you showed at the begining! :')

[@mxmissy]

I turned 26 two days ago, and it's so weird to think that in 4 years I'll be 30. Like. I don't know. Maybe 16 y/o me didn't see myself living long enough to hit 26. But I just, I don't know. It makes me kind of sad, but happy.

[@alwaysyoutome19]

I can relate, you’re not alone! I had a similar situation with graduating college last month when I never thought about what I was like outside of school and not having to go to class in August.

[@user-cx2mo1im1d]

Very beautiful 🥺💙

[@MT-2020]

Kearen Leignth's reply, too much fun...

[@Yu-Fei-Hung]

Your videos give the inspiration to be creative ! 👍

[@noorawan7646]

I feel like you'd love the show Hilda :) just popped into my head during the sketchbook tour

[@gertshai]

Im 5 yrs older than you and you've achieve so much more in your art .Nevr stop being amazing.

[@ratosepratos]

Chey content hell yea!!!

[@ailhou2802]

Thank you for inspiring me so ♥

[@minnie4291]

the whole copying other artists to practice and figure out what you like is something i do as someone who has no clue what her style is and it has helped me figure out stuff but i always felt like a fraud for it even tho im not selling anything or calling their work my own in any way so this lil chat was v beneficial, it made me feel less alone i guess

[@finreads]

i love the plants at around 19:30

[@alexandrasstudio5308]

I love your vlogs!!! Hope u are doing well, take care!
