[@dahliarose1493]

[@astathius6475]

Absolutely amazing! I love the idea of having all of the memories come back to you when you look at the drawings.

[@alejandrasarmiento3317]

Aaron travelling in the Country of the rising Sun to teach the youth about the wrongdoings of Anime

[@lincolnzeras]

Amazing! Aaron, just a question: How do you keep motivated/inspired to still work in your craft as if you were a beginner, even after all these years of masterful work and success? I'm a musician and sometimes get very unmotivated. Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent with us!

[@blankcharlie1]

beautifully done good sir!!

[@Craftsworldsocial]

I love this type of video! I follow you on Instagram and I love seeing those process videos, they really show so much. Maybe could you do a sketchbook tour video? I'm dying to see your sketches and studies

[@RubenMiguel10]

Hello Mr Aaron, I am a huge fan of your work, specially your sketchbooks, Could you tell me how long did it took for you to make the whole drawing? Thanks you so much, i know this vid is 2 years old, but keep up the awesome work!! Love from portugal!

[@mathiasriedel6228]

Have you ever used Pencil2D for Animation? Would you recommend it?

[@gottopaintthemall6211]

Amazing, so nice to be there and work with such fantastic architecture and surroundings...lucky bugger ha ha

[@fredboussada8025]

Very inspiring and absolutely amazing sketch you got there, master! Can't wait for the next sketches in Japan!

[@Rubi1angel]

Just wanted to let you know that I watched your video this morning and it inspired me to draw something and it actually turned out good. So thanks.

[@AaronBlaiseArt]

I love hearing that!

[@cybersekkin]

Really cool, but you came here during rainy season... I hope the showers don't make too much a mess out of your trip (I just went out a bit earlier and had to dash home to beat the rain). Hope you have a good time.

[@angelikamargy2167]

[@danwassuchanemo4500]

You should draw Simba but like how you did Rajah!

[@tori_chiken]

Guidelines are non existent, what master qualities

[@baruchba7503]

I really like the grey sketch paper with the white gel pen to add light. Great sketch.

[@peterbernow2562]

[@boodysamy9530]

Can you tell me name of white pen plz?

[@mostafafarweez3161]

Hi Aaron, how are you? WOW, that's really Great. I really like it. Wishing you a Safe, Healthy and Enjoy days on your trip to Japan. Also waiting for more videos from ur drawing days in Tokyo. Since we're on the Subject of Japan., Have you ever tried to draw an anime character before? If you do, I wonder which character and how will it look like? Stay safe Aaron, and have a Wonderful trip :)

[@EvilKris]

wow you came to Japan. Man would I love to see the reaction of some Japanese people you met after they learn you worked on Beauty & The Beast, Lion King etc.. some of my students (I live and work in Japan) absolutely worship those classics, they'd freak out if they knew who you were. Thanks for you art tutorials, I frequently study your techniques, and have become a better artist thanks to you.

[@PetarTasev_art]

You really captured the mood! Too bad you aren't around for longer, Monday we have the 4th Tokyo illustrators meetup, it would've been great if you were around and could join and lend your opinion on the subjects we discuss. By the way I think one thing that isn't mentioned is that when you use a sketchbook with toned paper, you don't need to add midtones. It's why the image pops so well when you add the white. I should try your technique, thanks!

[@valiantaloof]

this is awsome! you are awsome!

[@CutiedoglovePuppy]

First comment to say first

[@chammikaiser7740]

Aaron, do you always work on tinted paper? You certainly have captured the essence of this incredible building. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Walking-MY-Path]

Mr. Blaise can draw anything. It's impressive that he can draw architecture and natural landscapes so well when we thought he only specialized mainly in drawing animals.

[@prasadpkunte]

wow!! Sir. Awesome work...

[@kmanboard]

kool stuff, I'm working in an animation studio in seoul at the moment, visiting Japan later in the year, before going back to Jamaica; where I'm from. been watching your videos for years & they have helped me out alot, thanks man.

[@jonneluostarinen8120]

That is just unbelievable talent! Loved all your videos! Thank you for sharing some of your techniques. I have learn a lot from you! Thanks man! 👍🏼

[@jacobodom8401]

Wow. I usually have to draw the perspective before I can draw the actual building. I need to practice more.

[@road121111]

im going to tokyo next month, please publish more drawings! thank you very much!

[@gefelice]

I just came back from Japan myself. I didn't take the time to sit down and draw like you did, which is a shame really, because the country is so beautiful with lots of views that are different from my home country. I'd love to see more drawings you did while you were there. As always, great video!

[@waelbac]
