Hello! I wanted to say, that your art is really really atmospheric and stunning! I especially love the idea of animal (or bird, as with seagulls, ahaha) - people, the theme of it is very close to me and my heart! Love your artworks and will be gladly waiting for a future videos!

[@juliajanemartens]

you’re so so sweet!! i post tons more of those animals/birds on my insta, if you can’t wait between videos 😊

[@JohnAJohnson]

You gained a subscriber from your seagull spread alone ;) I'm a marine biologist that studies seabirds, I spent the summer traveling Vancouver to Alaska on a ship. I loved all the gulls and cormorants in Vancouver. I just had to subscribe in case you do prints of a more finalized illustration of those gull people in the future. Very beautiful and delicate work. I struggle with using sketch books for only finalized works as well. I need to really utilize them like this, especially while traveling.

[@juliajanemartens]

oh how wonderful!! I'm so glad you've found inspiration in using a sketchbook for less finalized work, I find it much more fulfilling! I actually do have a print of the seagulls, I just took it down due to lack of interest. If you want one, email me!

Bruh, I almost squealed when you showed that mouse drawing. I've been obsessed with beatrix potter and the whole aesthetic of woodland animals in Victorian clothes and I've never heard of Jill Barklem so I'll have to add her to my list. beautiful drawings and such a relaxing video ❤

Hi, Julia! New subscriber here. I’m so glad I found your channel! I just LOVE your art style. Lovely work! I hope to see many more videos from you.

[@juliajanemartens]

wow thank you so much!! 💚

[@RuculusTheKid17]

Lovely drawings of Norway! Especially Bergen (I'm from there 😏) I believe the etchings on the map are actually sea creatures from Norse mythology!

[@juliajanemartens]

oh thank you!! i absolutely loved bergen!! (just not the rain 🙊✨) and such a great point about the etchings, you’re most likely right!

[@ratswithshivs]

I aspire to have observation like this in my sketchbook!! I rely too heavily on photographs sometimes :(

[@ratswithshivs]

14:23 I cannot stop looking at this spread!

[@juliajanemartens]
