"I can't draw faces very well."~ CosmicSpectrum ...um...EXCUSE ME! Your faces are EVERYTHING. Your faces are what drew me to you your art so many years ago! Your faces are what stop me mid scroll because they're so beautiful! Don't doubt your faces because they are amazing!!!! Mild outburst aside lol, I am in heaven! Even your tiny doodles and sketches are AMAZING!!!!😍😍😍😍 Thank you for taking the time to share your sketchbook with us! Even if you think most of it isn't very good, it's very valuable as it really shows the way that you think when making your illustration. Even I picked up a few things when it comes to planning. I also LOVE the way that you draw girls and always have! They're so unique and pretty and...man I just feel so blessed to be able to watch your videos. You've truly been an inspiration to me for such a long time. Whatever videos you have, I want to see them all! ❤❤❤

[@Alyssia297]

[@djernie8085]

[@cathychats]

Agree and she's so down to earth too❤️

[@mustafamicah7094]

Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.

[@soupafleye]

“these are wonky...makes me remember that i’m not very good at faces” GORL IF U DONT SHUTUP THOWE FACES WERE LITERALLY AMAZING WTF

[@rebelheart8446]

Agreed!

[@hanaeve__]

Facts!!

[@PaulaTheLittleOne]

This is something artists say to push themselves to do better. But keep on giving compliments, that's very important! Her art is incredible!!

[@perrylinply7482]

RIGHT!!! I was like...Wonky where?

[@rejuvenatingmeditationmusi3403]

LITERALLY

[@Selrisitai]

Me: I wonder why she's so good at drawing. Her: So an hour warming up would be perfect. Yeah, like, just literally draw for an entire hour, but that's just warming up. Me: Oh, that's why she's so good at drawing.

[@amazinggraces-varietyinn6105]

Lol agreed

[@sparrows3232]

this literally popped up in my recommendation feed and let me just say, when i saw the thumbnail and your art, i have NEVER clicked so fast in my entire life. you’re golden, girl✨

[@asadriaz1001]

[@sparrows3232]

[@baharehkhosroshahi8569]

[@masonpines8345]

When you have “art block” it doesn’t even look like you have art block! Your work is so amazing it still looks fantastic when you don’t put in effort 💖💖💖

[@kiahjh]

I was shook by the talent when you flipped open the first page no joke. I was not ready AT ALL!!

[@McChicken03]

Where has this channel been???? My god your art is amazing!!!

[@literaturel5525]

thank you for blessing my eyes, watched this while sipping my morning coffee 😆 this is the type of contents i loveeee.

[@lainiwakura1776]

Omg, I feel the same way about Korra! Also the sketches you posted on Instagram have made me want to do studies in pen.

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

Hahaha glad i'm not the only one! and that's great haha, pen is a ton of fun once you get used to it xD

[@mahdiaahseen333]

You're literally my most favourite traditional artist, I love how you do mixed media art❤️I aspire to be like you

[@seungheetahimik583]

I loved how long this was and I’m so glad you’re just being yourself on KZbin!!! Thank you!!!

[@mahdiaahseen333]

I'm in tears. These are so beautiful

[@ArkRevisited]

Beautiful as always, Yana! Your style is so lush and your videos are always inspiring. Can't wait for the next vid!

[@chiyuku]

Your art is SICK, I can tell how hard you’ve worked on your craft 🖤🖤

[@jojochen9422]

Thank you for sharing this sketchbook with us! I love seeing the original, raw stuff artists create in their sketchbooks. I find that to be the most real art everyone creates. And I would absolutely love to see a video about Grimoire Noir... it's one of the most beloved and inspiring books I own!

[@ellithomas6456]

Your art style is so amazing! Omg I am just in love with your drawings 😍😍

[@ethlenrain]

Loved every minute of it! Excited to see your other sketchbooks! even if they're rambly and long!

[@cloro4803]

This is awesome!! Really, it's the first time I actually finish an entire sketchbook tour video!!! Plus: you are talented af 💖💕

[@lenapereira5013]

W O W I love this. Your sketchbook makes me so happy! I seriously loveeee the style and the way your sketchbooks look overall and just gahhhhh so amazing!

[@myhobie9337]

so inspiring!!!! thank you for making this video it really motivate seeing all your sketch and the final works, looking forward for you next video 💜💜

[@juelslee7025]

none of this is "wonky" its all amazing and polished even the little sketches and studies . i gotta say the thumbnail was on point , the moment I saw it i knew it was gonna be good . thank you for the tour it was one of the best ive seen

[@jasminjwhite]

You are one of my absolute favorite art youtubers! I love your ink wash and pen processes and also have been making my way through your Skillshare. I get so excited when you post new stuff. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@RambleRandi]

I stumbled across this while waiting for my art project to dry and I'm so so excited that I found a new artist to binge

[@sioorc]

I just love to draw and chill while watching sketchbooktours its so relaxing

[@mc2573]

Oh my God I didn't know you had a KZbin channel!! so happy that I found it 🤩🤩 love your art. Super inspirational seeing your sketch books ❤️❤️

[@rennydanston6507]

I’m struggling to comprehend how talented you are

[@toriallen3534]

Hey! I absolutley love your art and I think it would be really cool to be able to see some of your older art to kind of show the development over the years or something! 💛

[@jennifercase393]

I am so glad YT recommended your video! I have subscribed and will be watching all of your videos. One thing about this one...I love that you use your sketchbook as an actual sketchbook. So many artists I watch only seem to use one as somewhere to create finished works. Yours has that wonderful sketchy quality and seems full of thumbnails for ideas. Also, going to watch your skillshare class...hope you upload more of them!

[@mariachampss1275]

Love your style it has such a beautiful whimsical quality to it❤️

[@ghizlanejari4019]

im so glad i found your channel. i absolutely ADORE your art already! keep it up

[@sugarcandy654]

I'm in love with the models you drew at the very end of the sketchbook😍

[@lucidhalos]

I love each and every page of your sketchbook. It is literally looking at organized chaos and like that first page makes me wonder how you didn't go crazy with the way it was layered. I would have been so distracted by that. I love those Muji pens, but never really considered using the prismacolor marker to make them bleed like that. I've used Tombow Dualbrush for that kind of affect, but I'll give the Prismacolor a shot. I feel like W&N's pigment marker may work really well with it too, since it is some kind of ink based pigment. As you mentioned, it is fun to experiment with how tools interact with each other. I know you talked about in another video about not really making "happy" accidents, but this experimenting truly is the happy kind. I tend to favor mixed media pads over sketchbooks because of this, because I find I will destroy the sheets when they're too thin. I'm amazed how you're able to keep your muji pads so clean, when the paper is fairly light. I'm a fan of Strathmore's Mixed Media pads. If you ever wanted to utilize your sketchbook even further, I would suggest gesso'ing the backside of sketches. That way you eliminate the bleed through. I also sometimes do that when I'm doing watercolors/gouache (on mixed media, granted) just so I don't risk bleeding through the page. I'm way too heavy handed with my supplies. But yeah, sorry for rambling about art supplies. I work with a ton of them and are constantly experimenting, so I recognize a lot of stuff just by a glance. I noticed you really like Muji supplies, but I don't blame you. They're pretty inexpensive and quite lovely. I'll have to use them more myself, since I've literally mostly used them for journaling/note taking. Anyway, I do hope to see more sketchbook runs like this and I'm glad you're posting more YT videos. I also follow you on IG, but I do prefer seeing video over just pictures. I love process work and hearing about the way artists' go about creating work. ♥

[@nicolearata7667]

By far some of the best art I've ever seen, thank you!

[@kristyjoyschoyen1421]

Your use of hatching is absolutely inspired!

[@phoebeholmes5854]

Thank you for sharing your sketchbooks! When you showed the 100 heads challenge pieces I audibly (and alone in my room haha) said ‘wow i love their style!’ There’s something really. Appealing about the way you use inks and the way you draw facial features !

[@tilzo_9752]

I’m in love with the page at 27:30 omg... the character designs are everything! They would look great as stickers.

[@carlyart756]

Awesome sketches! I've followed you on instagram for awhile and just discovered your channel :-) I watched the whole thing - I love a long sketchbook tour!!

[@NeddyisNeddy]

Yay !! Love this ! I personally love looking at sketches. Thank you for this 💖💖

[@thatsembarrassing7315]

Just found your channel today, and your work is absolutely STUNNING. New sub!

[@Hannovah]

Damn you really use your sketchbooks to study! I wish I was as disciplined as you! ❤️

[@WeblightDreams]

Beautiful sketchbooks even with all those notes and planning in them. I love Dragon Prince too and yes I was a little sad about it being 3D but the story is just so adorable and awesome. My favorite is the prince's half brother who falls in love with her.

[@kyoki3417]

omg I love your sketchbook. I would love to see more sketchbook tours from you and some videos of you sketching. Even if you are sketching those warmups with the references, oh my gosh I just love them so much. Your sketching process is so pretty

[@CosmicSpectrumArt]

[@sqbrex]

Those gothic Sailor Moon stickers are everything, I need them in my life!! The drawings of that girl, I really really loved those sketches, it's always nice to see those kind of sketches, really makes you appreciate how much an artist has practiced to get where they are! These sketchbooks were fun to look at, and I love listening to you talk us through them, and the different stories behind them! Your OC's are Stunning! I hope we get to see more of them soon! Honestly, if I could I'd draw pretty girls all day everyday!! Girls are just fun to draw because they can be Soooo different from one girl to the next!!

[@enviyuwu]

[@tadeophillips]

Great video! for artists like me, this is very useful. Thanks 😊

[@hurka.design]

28:38 : Sometimes, warm-up sketches, quick studies, are more energetic, appealing, and thought out, than the finished products. So don't be embarrassed to show them... ever. It's the purpose of a sketchbook, to have those drawings somewhere to see. To be seen. ❤️

[@leonardofernandez6488]

You are extraordinary, you sure deserve more subscribers.

[@raquelsalerno5933]

I love the studies soooo much
