Chill Chat | Sketchbook Habit Day 23

[@ninetailedbren]

“I did it once I can do it again” is actually a really comforting thought.

[@cynoglav9665]

Hooray markers!! I missed those :)

[@godzandheros]

Just so you know, it's called "post/posting" when the cap fits on the bottom of the pen/marker :)

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

godsandheros 🤦‍♀️ duh Tori 🤣🤣🤣 ahhh I need a break

[@icanhazKnit]

So happy this is a thing I know now!

[@godzandheros]

@@icanhazKnit you are welcome!

[@feankspoken6943]

Me now having that knowledge is so satisfying for me

[@RadishTheFool]

Ooh, I love this page! It's so colourful and dreamlike and all over the place. 🧡

[@sabiflor2180]

Dancing without people watching is a mood

[@Selakora]

Aahhhhhhh it was so nice to see you take out the markers again, your strokes are so confident and the result was lovely. Also I really enjoyed listening about your relationship with your sketchbook, thanks for sharing that with us. My own sketchbooks feel like a place where I can draw without feeling pressure to make something polished or perfect, and I feel the freedom to experiment with new ideas or techniques, so I love them even though I not use them as frequently.

[@jasleenkbhullar]

When you sketch/paint, do you listen to anything like music or podcasts in the background? Just curious because it interests me how artists prefer to work!

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

futural it varies! Sometimes nothing so I can capture sounds from the art supplies. When I need to focus and be fully present - I listen to soft piano music. When I’m in the final crunch, it’s a lot of party music 😂

[@theunnamedmustashio6431]

I listen to dubstep while im drawing/painting if you wanna know ( ✌︎'ω')✌︎

[@biaj.8864]

lo-fi and electro swing

[@shizotypical]

I just can't work with music, i get distracted even with the chillest lofi

[@cadynextdoorr]

lmao everyone here is chill and then there’s me listening to alt rock and kpop

[@rinricca]

your words in the end were really comforting c: thank you, it was definitely something i needed to hear during these times

[@clockenfrau]

i love all the different textures at play in this piece so much

[@kobo-works]

Wonderful drawing💕I like your picture. Very thanks my friend👍🤗✌

[@hyukfly1]

I always love your art! So so pretty. 😍

[@Maddie.d326]

Yay! I love marker videos! It helps me improve on my own skills :D

[@escarlet2456]

I’m sooo glad you took the markers out!! I also was wondering if you didn’t listen to music while drawing, but then I saw that you were watching a video.. I instantly had a smile on my face🥺✨

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

Most work days I keep tv free, usually music going on. Past few days I’ve been needing a pick me up, so animal crossing videos have been giving me good vibes

[@escarlet2456]

Victoria Gedvillas Don’t put so much pressure on you!! I suggest you to listen to chill and Lofi music once in a while💖

[@escarlet2456]

Daniella13 R. Same🥺

[@lillianlillian]

when you bring out markers, it always makes me nostalgic :')

[@Servinah]

I love when you gush about your fiance your happiness is contagious!

[@camtheartist]

I love seeing what your brain comes up w when you work from imagination!! Your art is always a delight and an inspiration also , regardless of imagination or ref or a mix it always has your style and it’s so cool !! And inspiring , thank you for sharing :))

[@aguilartist]

I’m glad I clicked on the video I was not disappointed such amazing Artist 😍thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

[@nasibahbintul-mustafa8415]

I look forward to these videos so much. They help me relax and unwind before bed.

[@lalasamuse6507]

Thanks for this beautiful moment with you and your art everyday

[@carys4897]

I’m smiling ear to ear! Thank you, Tori!

[@marms-art]

it's really cool to me that you used to work with david and goliath! they were a big part of my childhood, i had a lot of the buttons on my elementary school backpack and a few t-shirts

[@SilverWolf4216]

The encouragement vibes you send is saving me right now! Your the best and your videos keep me motivated on improving myself as an artist. Thank you Tori!

[@jessicaaftosmis4860]

♥️♥️♥️ This video made me so happy! I immediately sent it to my friends to watch! Your message was really comforting to hear and the love you have for your art and even us, subscribers you’ve never met, us so incredibly heartwarming! Sending lots of love to you Tori! ♥️

[@Indigo_snakes]

Awww that video made me so nostalgic for some reason ! I love you so much Tori, thank you for brightening up my days ❤️

[@allisond7552]

I haven't watched many videos of you working with markers but I think it's interesting how you approach the pieces that you make with alcohol markers.

[@vivanecrosis]

I love picking my colours. I have one or two Copic sets, and then the rest I added separately just by the feel of them such as I really love the colours lavender V06, light crockery blue B93 and light orange YR02. Those last two go so well together it’s unreal. UwU

[@IIIIOTL]

I love how when you flip through your sketchbook, every single page has something beautiful in it. In my sketchbook I only have a decent-ish thing every 20 pages or so haha...

[@SugaKookieMon]

I miss your marker work. I love it so much.

[@vivanecrosis]

Awwwwww so lovely how you talking about your man. Was so heart warming UwU

[@yendrawsTV]

There's an official copic app you can get on your phone to track which copics you have/want, with some swatches. I can't remember when it was last updated. but it's useful. I wish there was a similar one for watercolors/pigments too, thinking about it....

[@Vhestale]

Thank you so so much for this video ;_; Lately, I've been writing a short story that means a lot to me, and because of this I've been putting a looot of pressure on myself - as if everything needs to be perfect... And today was very hard, because I wanted to write but couldn't focus at all, and I was so mad at myself... But your sweet story helped me to remember what writing is to me: a nice opportunity to feel close to my characters, kind as if I was hanging out with them like they're my friends or something. I don't know if you'll see this, but you really, really helped me to remember what matter the most today. ♥ I feel like I can finally write a bit. Thank you!

[@HoppieDoppie]

Ahhh I’m glad I’m not the only one who watched animal crossing live streams and recorded sessions while I work! It’s so calming

[@filippiekny3178]

that little peptalk at the end was something i really needed to hear today ;n; thank you for drawing and posting everyday

[@kylespitzley5707]

These are my favorite kinds of videos :) Great work as always!

[@pietoeat9750]

thank you!!! I appreciate this alot!!!

[@MH-wd8bs]

I really really love and appreciate when you share us your personal thoughts and how are you feeling!!!💞 I hope to see this more in the future if you want to, because it truly gives me a relief and also that "human" side too 💕 so thank you when you do this and hope that you're doing fine!!!

[@kidddome2230]

its my birthday feels good to end the day with a wonderful video much love

[@chedoodles]

I love the sweetness of your voice. Captivates me more to watch hehe💜✨ I hope you teach on Skillshare soon

[@B.I.F2076]

This was so inspiring to hear and watch, and that I felt the same when I left college and having just your own sketchbook as your friend/companion, after rough days of work, but also people supporting you in the back. I love how courageous you were to share your journey as an artist from college to nowadays so please keep the hard and amazing work, but also take it easy. ❤️

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Yay markers! There's something wonderful about the big bold shapes you make, combined with the delicate lines. Also, I can't help but notice you started saying "how you say" a lot suddenly and it reminds me of the Office episode where Michael goes to Canada and talks to the concierge 😂

[@rachelsquill]

I love the way you use markers, its so inspiring to me 💚💚💚

[@maryphoenix5414]

You are one of a few KZbinrs that seem to genuinely appreciate there ordinance

[@N1MHLING]

You're too cute Tori! And you're such a beast for doing this sketchbook challenge. I absolutely love seeing you work. Please do take care of yourself ♥

[@greybrush]

I enjoy watching all of your videos. They give me a very light feeling. If you don't mind can you try architectural sketches? I would love to see that. Continue creating artworks✨

[@ashleyw672]

She's my artistic role model!!!

[@FarlyCreates]

The beta series looks like it’s holding the watercolor pretty well...not that I need another sketchbook. Hi, I hoard art supplies. I’m in need of a support group!! 🤣

[@miraxterrik]

I dont recommend S&B, at least it didnt work out for me. Dries instantly, doesnt lift at all, and sometimes the pigment just acts weird on it. I really struggle with it. I rather reco a Hahnemühle, or make your own from whatever paper you fancy ;) eventually that's what i did.

[@FloridianCalypso]

So adorbs! I love your gushing moment over your sweetie.

[@brooke7138]

This is making me want to break out my markers again!

[@lunasylnodel]

im always excited when i see you posted a new video ^^

[@ellyzacampo5726]

It was so nice to draw alongside this footage and cute little story TvT 💖

[@personalglow]

This inspired me for some doodles, auhg but I MUST finish dinner first!

[@didi7074]

I like the fact you don't only stick to copic markers and try out different brands :)

[@kelliefunderburk9896]

Hi Tori! I noticed near the end of the video you used watercolors to outline your marker drawings. Do watercolors react well with alcohol based markers?

[@Wuzeio]

Hi Tori, do you have any tips on trying to maintain confidence in your art and motivate yourself? Recently i've been stuck in an art rut while everybody around me is improving, and its really bumming me out. D: I feel like i've just been staying in my comfort zone, but everytime I try to improve in anatomy or compositions, I end up feeling burned out and don't want to work on it anymore. But at the same time, drawing the same thing over and over again (same face syndrome.. that sort of thing) is also making me tired of art. I see so much art that inspires me and I want to draw just like that, but I can't seem to find a way to push myself into improving. >< Looking at a blank page has never felt so intimidating

[@mollym3100]

Ahh I loved this! It was really cool watching you work with markers again! I hope you had fun :) Also, the piece at the beginning with the blue/black hair and red flowers is absolutely gorgeous. Sorry if I'm out of the loop and it's a past patron postcard or something, but is this something that might be available as prints/stickers in future? :)

[@bnelleyram]

I really love your mixed media alcohol marker/watercolour work! One of my favourite pieces of yours is the pinky-nude coloured lady with a sword (I think you called her Priya?) and I had that as my phone background for a long time ☺️☺️

[@dannlevi8142]

Yours drawings is so beautiful ♥️🤧

[@user-sr6zw6ql6l]

What the name of the song at the end? I have this part of your video on repeat)

[@turtles4559]

It's Now you sail away by OTE c:

[@TheYoshie007]

Since you mentioned you’re drawing from imagination, do you have any tips on how to move away from drawing with reference to without? Feeling so stuck idk what to do... thanks.

[@elsewherebruh]

Break down photos, understand anatomy and perspective then practice

[@taniaalvaart]

I use many references compiled together

[@TheYoshie007]

Dwuang duwang thanks for taking time to reply, that’s so nice

[@elsewherebruh]

@@TheYoshie007 happy to help😊

[@miraxterrik]

Is there a background story to this piece?

[@EzmeCM98]

Is your work in college the reason you dont do digital work or were you always more comfortable in traditional art?

[@bellefleur4089]

[@doodleyournoodles675]

Omg your colors blend perfectly! : [) > < If i color like that my picture gets all muddy. : { also i'm really happy you picked up the alcohol markers again! : )

[@nvrrungji]

[@Metal_Mouth]

Out of curiosity what college did you graduate from? I remembered you said the name in one of your old videos. Was it Ringling? edit: She did mention it- oops I must have missed that sorry!

[@Servinah]

She mentioned it in this one too, it was Ringling :)

[@Metal_Mouth]

@@Servinah haha cool! Ringling grad 2020 here! I actually got done with my senior committee review today a couple hours before this video went up! Funny how she was talking about her college days in this video especially since I started attending RCAD watching her videos the same year she started Jucy Inks.

[@didi7074]

When you did a poll on IG asking what we wanted to see on this series I said:" alcohol marker sketches" but since you didn't reply/post I thought you didn't like the idea and maybe got offended bc you used to do mainly copic pieces on your old youtube and maybe you didn't want to get back to it

[@fuzzydragons]

Yeah you usually don't discover or develop an artistic voice in art school. One, you don't usually have time too, and two, that isn't usually the point of the curriculum

[@theunnamedmustashio6431]

Σ('◉⌓◉’) who disliked this!

[@didepux251]

You are suck a cute soul. Xo

[@isaniart]

Is English not your first language? You speak it beautifully, but I noticed that you say “How’d you say?” a lot.

[@VictoriaGedvillas]

Isagrasha Art that’s my brain short circuiting 😅 the back to back video production is catching up to me. I’m super flattered you think I speak beautifully, I’m a bit shy with my grammar and public speaking

[@isaniart]

Victoria Gedvillas You have great diction and word choice. It makes sense that your mind would be tired after all that editing. You’re doing great!
