finishing up my old sketchbook for a weekly art challenge ✸ sketchbook in a week challenge

[@katriaraden]

The last few spreads of this sketchbook might have taken me 7 days but the entire thing took me 7 YEARS! Let's hope I finish my next sketchbook sooner 😅 How long does filling up a sketchbook typically take you? I'd love to know!

"Done is better than perfect". Congrats on finishing the sketchbook! It's tough, but it's so good to do. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and creative process. I feel inspired, I need to finish my projects as well. 😅

I love videos like this!!! I just subscribed, you're so talented!

My wife and I always check out your shorts, but haven't watched a longer video yet. We loved it! Also, all the best with the Ludum Dare game jam/taking a little more time with the game. A friend's done a few Ludum Dares and has always had so much fun with them!

[@katriaraden]

Thank you again Christopher! I’m really happy you two enjoy my videos!!! Ludum Dare is super fun but can be super daunting and stressful as well. We made one game for it two years ago I think, and it was fun but the game was very… lackluster 😅 For this one we wanted to give our best, so it ended up taking a lot more time.

I love those sketches so much! Glad you didn't pressure yourself but at the same time gave a proper kick in the butty to finish it 😂 i need to do that too! Also, I love your voice!!

[@katriaraden]

Thank you so much Yara omg 🥰🥰🥰 And yeah, that kick in the butt needs to be gentle but firm and it’s hard to manage it sometimes 😂 I know you can do it!!!

Aahh Katria, this video is so cute and your sketches are so beautiful and cozy! 🧡 Looking forward to seeing more videos from you, I love the way you talk!

[@katriaraden]

Omg thank you so much, I’m flattered!!! 🥹❤️ (and thankfully I love talking haha)

[@NaderiaPlays]

Very fun to see Katria :D love your art work!

[@katriaraden]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it ❤

[@tomboiclub]

Your character design is so cute~ I personally loved the spread with all the color on 9:30 I loved watching you draw and explaining your thought process. Congrats on finishing your sketchbook

[@chaioverdose]

I totally relate with the color choice paralysis, although ironically it happens more to me digitally because I tend to get very indecisive! Congratulations on finishing the sketchbook! :D The spreads look so lovely- especially the blackberry one :)

[@katriaraden]

Thank you so much!! ❤ Ahh, well you see, I made a very limiting digital coloring palette for myself to combat that 😂

[@DoomBloomArt]

This was a fun watch! Your sketching style is so clean and soothing, and your ideas are so cute as well!

[@katriaraden]

Thank you so much Averil, I’m super flattered! 🥰

[@TheRealNG]

A joy to watch and see the process you go through as we all have good spreads and the ones we think are not as good (but really they also served a purpose to learn)

[@katriaraden]

Thank you so much ❤‍🔥 And I couldn't agree more, even artworks we're not all that happy with teach us something new and help us out in the long run!

KATRIA THIS WAS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD i love everything about this video and your art so much :')

[@katriaraden]

Thank you so much Jessica, you spoil me with your compliments and loveliness ❤❤❤

[@lucieell]

Congratulations on finishing the sketchbook, it was so satisfying to watch you fill the last few spreads in! I actually really like the acrylic marker one 🥲 but totally understand the frustration of not having all the colors available as opposed to working on a digital piece! And I am definitely looking forward to seeing more weekly challenges! 😁

[@katriaraden]

Thank you so much Lucie!!! ❤‍🔥 I think i will start liking that spread again in a few months, once the image of how it could have turned out dissipates from my mind 😂
