Going through a sketchbook is really like going through a diary, all you memories and thoughts get absorbed into the paper. I look back in my sketchbooks and I remember all my moods and find my writing on what I was doing. I put in movie tickets and things that in the moment feel insignificant but looking back Im glad that I get to remember thing I thought I would forget.

[@AnnaAbstrakt]

so true! I recently went through my finished sketchbook and was quite surprised how much meaning the pieces held to me in retrospect as well ^^

[@AudraAuclair]

They truly are so great for so many reasons.

[@lovetteidk5150]

For me there's some page or piece that really makes remember what I feel and think at that moment. Quite sweet

[@sadiedimaio8119]

im not sure if youll ever read this but i wanted to let you know that you have been my biggest inspiration to me as an artist. I have been following you since i was 13 years old, im 18 now. :) i had lost my passion for art a few years ago and got extremely burnt out and stopped altogether, but seeing you come back to youtube has inspired me beyond my comprehension and ive begun to start drawing and creating again.

[@AudraAuclair]

YES! That's great to hear!!! We are in this together. 💪💖

[@vaalhalaa5154]

im so happy your back on youtube

[@margesimpsond]

Same

[@AudraAuclair]

I'm happy you're happy.

[@miamyah4951]

Holy crap 3 years?! You really out here spoiling us 💗😫

[@jajsanir]

The timing of this upload as well as the length of the video couldn’t have been better! I’ve literally just sat down to work in my studio 💖✨ -perfect-

[@hazel-hg7du]

Her style and the way she is effortlessly unique is inspiring

[@van.blueishna]

*Internally and externally screaming * I love this so much 💖💖💖

[@Lozzzliss]

I haven't drawn in my sketchbooks for like a year and a half, due to all the negativity in life I just couldn't do it. This video really inspired me to try and pick it up again, I miss it. Thank you! Your sketchbooks look amazing :)

[@seiashun]

I had budgies before and we had their cages open all day long so they could go in and out as they pleased! There's also these harnesses that you can get for birds to take them outside so they can fly around without you having to worry they'll go too far, etc. There's definitely a lot of ways to have birds as pets without having to trap them in cages

[@AudraAuclair]

If I ever got another animal it'd be a birb so that eases my mind. I think I would just have to make sure I had the space and would have to train it to fly to the cage to use the bathroom and all that good stuff. I saw that some people have been using (enclosed) strollers for their birds which is pretty cool.

[@seiashun]

@@AudraAuclair Small birds are pretty tough to potty train, but tbh their poops are super ez to just wipe up so that was never a big issue! Birbs are really wonderful pets ;v ;

[@elinbirgis]

27:51 I did that too... And till do if I get triggered. I sat in the tub once with water running over me and I was crying and couldn't top, so I deliberately thought of a grown up version of me taking care of me, stroking my skin, hugging me tight. And I spoke soft words and comforted myself. It works, my flashback are less intense, they aren't as frequent and the episodes are much shorter. Im honestly my own best comfort❤️

[@AudraAuclair]

Oh I’m so glad to hear it worked for you! I have tried it a couple times on myself when I’m in pain and it truly does help sometimes. It’s really a great tool to have.

[@strokeofjasmine2]

I haven't been using my sketchbook as a diary like I want to, I need to get back into it myself. I always liked how your sketches are so flowy. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one with a mini crush on Peter. lmao Great video!

[@AudraAuclair]

Lopi loves him too. We should start a fan club. 😅

[@strokeofjasmine2]

@@AudraAuclair that would be silly but I wouldn't be against it lol

[@aliz4467]

Your art is so personal and nostalgic and sweet. I hope you take pride in that. it really brightened up my morning that's for sure.

[@gabriellalingheden6327]

Serveral years ago I tattooed my thumb like yours. I don’t know what it means to you but for me it’s a affirmation in ink-you can do this, and a constant reminder of the beauty I’ve seen through your art. You are truly one of my biggest inspirations of all time.

[@kevin-jd5rj]

Omg someone else from vic!!!! 💙💙💙 Loved the large samplage of books!as soon as you turned to the butterfly garden page I said "oh the butterfly garden!" LOL

[@AudraAuclair]

It's such an awesome place to go draw!

[@AmberMarz]

This was wonderful and so chill to watch. I think I liked the pieces about your experience with PCOS and the one with the house and revisiting childhood, those really stood out to me. I love how you fill up pages, and I love all the little things you stuck in! Seeing your sketchbooks (even from years ago too) inspired me to keep a travel sketchbook (when travel was still a thing), so thanks for that, I really treasure those books of my own. I'm so happy to watch your videos again, keep it up and don't feel any pressure to be perfect. Stuff like this is awesome. Take care

[@spacegurlbebop]

The last few weeks my depression has gotten soo much better and i'm starting to actually have motivation and energy and joy fir so many things i loved to do in the past. Aditionally you're posting videos that are making my day even better. I guess there's a note on my bucket list that says: " Hugging Audra - one of the most beautiful creatures that i have come across 🧚🏻✨" Thanks for everything Audra

[@y-4-n-4]

I just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me. When I discovered your first sketchbook tour years ago I was in a bad place mentally but your art inspired me so much. Thanks to your videos and post I actually took my art more seriously and started improving it (and also my mental state). I can't describe how happy I was to see you post videos again! Although, I don't really know you I am sure you are such a nice person and I hope you are doing great! Keep on making amazing art!!

[@gtypic6253]

I find your voice/stories and your art so soothing to listen to and see. Because it's a lengthy video, I've watched this video several times as my "background noise" while I crochet or draw and it always gives me positive vibes and inspiration. Thank you for sharing your work, I know it probably isn't easy to manage social media with everything else you do, but it's appreciated! Your work is beautiful, comforting, and inspiring.

[@Gleamiarts]

When I saw this notification i literally went ooga booga

[@zoravermilya8993]

Thank you for this Audra. 🙏🏿 Also I was instantly drawn to your sketch of Minnie even before you revealed it was her! So glad there are fabulous artists like you both on this platform!

[@karou3205]

Hey Audra, I just wanted to tell you that ypur sketchbooks are my main inspiration right now, BECAUSE they are so dull of your personnal experience and scrappy (if that's a word) and it shows that you don't hold back from just experimenting with different materials, and I love that. I'm a devoted sketchbook-tourist binge-watcher (I've probably watched 200+ sketchbook videos until now) and yours are reeeeally THE-BEST I've discovered to this day. So, if you happen to read this, I hope you know that there are people amazed by your art and your courage with pushing through your mental and physical issues :) And I hope you have a wonderful day !

[@zombabie5444]

I used to watch your old sketchbook videos back to back in middle school I really missed these videos 🥺💗 so happy to see you here again!

[@fanl1121]

I love drawing as well, you are one of my favourite artists on KZbin…hope you live happily and your art will be famous and greater…

[@JustMeMorgane]

I love the idea of sticking a polaroid/photo and doing a study on the other page. I think I should try that, because when I do studies I don't keep the original and keep wondering what it looked like. Love looking at your sketchbooks!

[@Theoreticalfool]

I’m so happy your back doing KZbin! Your older videos helped me stay motivated and inspired during my first lockdown/quarantine. 💖

[@Camandes]

Yeeees, would totally love a sketchbook thoughts and recommendations video!

[@alexandria8116]

My jaw dropped at the meditation house/woman spread it was so beautiful. I really enjoyed looking at your work!

[@caitlynnpedersen9924]

I went on an art hiatus for 6 years, had my passion taken from me and found my way back during the first lockdown in March (I live in Ontario). I started my first sketchbook last year and I recently had an epiphany to spend more time leaning into my feelings to help myself cope with anxiety. Seeing the way you express yourself via your sketchbooks is incredibly inspiring and how loose you are with each spread lights a fire for me to allow myself to breathe myself into my sketchbooks. I don’t know if that makes any sense but thank you for sharing this with us, your work is stunning 💕

[@DrowSkinned]

listening to you talk about your art always puts me in a creating mood. I missed this. Take care, and thank you.

[@sageasher2301]

Truly loving this feel of just chillin as you go through sketchbooks. The hangout vibe is much needed in these times, much MUCH needed. And you've always had this kind of energy that has me thinkin' "It would be a blast to hang with this hooman bean. Man, are they cool." You've always been inspiring through both your art and your words. Like, I know that every time I pull up one of your videos, I'm gonna be pulling out my sketchbook. And I have you to thank as one of the people that encouraged me that I can be a friggin artist. So... thanks for inviting us to hang with you while you flip through the fantabulous drawings and show us all your beauteous personality. SO much love for you and your creative goodness.

[@afterlifeart3913]

Yes! please make a video about different kinds of sketchbooks and your thoughts on them! I would so love that!

[@VampyHannah]

PLEASE tell us what you think bout each sketchbook! It would be so helpful and interesting! Also, I'm happy to see you back. I think similarly to yourself and I appreciate the insight you provide. Keep up the great work! Sending positive vibes~

[@invinciblesummer13]

Stumbling across our videos about 3 years ago is what inspired me to get back into art after having not drawn at all for about 10 years. Art has become such a comfort for me and I can’t imagine my life now without it. I’m so grateful to have found your art ✨

[@AudraAuclair]

I’m so glad to hear that! 🥲 I’m especially glad to read that you’ve been enjoying it, that’s most important for sure. 💖💕

[@MaG1cPr1NgL3S]

Im so glad you're back, I really needed this. Not that I want to make you feel bad or anything for stopping (trust, I get it), but just want to show support and welcome you back

[@Potionfairie]

I love seeing people’s sketchbook and their inspirations or explanation behind their drawings. I really loved this sketchbook book video and your art super cool.

[@caradoodle1995]

I missed seeing your sketchbooks so much 🥰🥰🥰💕

[@kat8366]

ive been watching your videos since forever and seeing you post again makes me so happy. you were kinda the reason i started seriously drawing and painting in gouache and water color. im applying to art schools this year and watching this video made me nostalgic to when i would binge watch your sketchbook videos when i was in middle school.

[@MrDanjer]

your sketchbooks are so personal and motivating.. feeling inspired

[@jeanninegarconne6082]

Your creativity is just so gorgeous and its so inspiring to see! With many artists that are very skilled and popular I just start to compare myself and feel bad about my own work/lose motivation but with you I just feel driven to become better because you’re really down to earth and your art isn’t just what any algorithm likes. Its so appealing because its so real and so personal and thats why its so inspiring to me I think.

[@jadedouette8198]

Hey Audra and Lopi !✨ I'm usually of the silent community of youtube (also not speaking english very well sorry if my sentences sound weird ! ) , but i wanted to leave a comment today as i was watching this video for the second time already to communicate my appreciation so here we go ♥ Audra I've been following your art channel for years, back when i was in art school I learned so much from you, going through each of your videos several times and as far as i can remember you've always been my biggest inspiration as an artist, your art is so unique and full of emotions, you're very skillfull and also a wonderful human being. You're also my fav youtuber, i think i can speak for many of your viewers if i say we feel safe and well watching your vids. I have this weird strong bond you only have with your very favs youtubers , when you feel like they're almost family and I haven't found artists who are as honest on their yt channels as you, talking about very important subjects that we need to hear about to know we're not alone, and i'm so glad to have discovered your channel for that as well. I was so so happy to see your new videos lately, i even caught myself singing a little jingle song thing when i was about to watch one ^-^ it goes like this : "Yay It's Audra ! ♪ i love her so much ~ ♪ " ! So you're appreciated, i wish you the very best, and i'll always be here to watch your videos ♥

[@AudraAuclair]

Ah thank you so much!!! I know that same feeling haha. I have a few youtubers that I feel like are family or BFFs. I'm so glad the videos have been making you happy, that makes me excited to make more. I hope to continue making stuff that you enjoy. If there's ever anything you'd like to see me make let me know, I'm always looking for ideas. Take care of yourself and thank you so much for following along.

[@jacquehash5967]

Glad to see another video especially a sketchbook tour! I really love all the stamps , tickets, drawings in the Japan trip book! So beautiful 💕💕💕

[@amberdreams_0]

I love how all you YT artists support each other - Peter Draws is indeed hilarious and so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing your albums, your drawing skills are so strong and it really shows in these. And that's not mentioning your gorgeous gouaches.

[@kirstymclauchlan4806]

I don't think I've ever commented on a YT video before but I just have to tell you that you're an amazing person. I've been hoping that you'd return to YT! I love hearing the stories behind your art. It's mesmerizing how you put your thoughts and feelings into all of your work. You really inspire me. I wish you well & hope you keep posting!

[@GEAKMONSTERS]

I'm so happy you came back to KZbin. As always your work is ..unbelievably amazing. Thank you so much for sharing !

[@iMarliful]

Thank you so much for sharing all this (super personal) artwork. I had to pause the video several times to be able to look at the sketches longer - everything is so unique! :-)

[@BunnyTheeUsagi]

So excited that you're back! Would love to see you the reviews on sketchbooks and materials

[@Divine7090]

MY PARENTS LIVE ON GABRIOLA!! sorry it was really cool to hear you say the island they live on now :) beautiful sketches, collages, studies, doodles. Thank you for sharing.

[@Ninquenura]

I love your sketchbook tours. It inspires me soo much. Especially not to be so afraid of drawing whatever come to my mind.:)

[@eris1949]

This was the perfect accompaniment while I work. It's almost like I have a friend casually chit-chatting with me as I go about my job. Thanks Audra, and your works are most amazing as usual!! Super loving the casual sit down videos you've been uploading. Stay safe!

[@AmayaJade]

yes!! so excited to watch this, your work is my favorite 🥺💖

[@echobaca6960]

The amount of times I have rewtched your old sketchbook tours is over 20 times. I love em so much!

[@oliviabossonart5177]

Watching this as I am playing around in my brand new sketchbook I bound today, such inspiration from you!!!

[@nikianorbeta7942]

So very beautiful, thank you for creating art content, its a kind of therapy for me

[@feya.2.09]

You're so precious, your art always gives me hope, and I love how honest u are about your struggles.

[@briannabee225]

i just finished the vid and during it i was thinking about how i would love a sketch book recommendation video, that goes over like what mediums work on what and which dont, your personal faves etc and then you mentioned doing a vid like that at the end!! I would love to see that x

[@rejnboljunikorn]

You have no idea how happy your sketchbook tours make me! I love them much 😭💜

[@utopia5351]

I loved looking at your art in your sketchbooks. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video

[@Envirhoe]

Hi Audra! I hope youre doing well. Ive been going through a major slump and all of your sketches have added a bit of light into my soul and has helped me get back into my sketchbook. Ive been dealing with some mental health issues and exisistential dread and agh, its so good to see you. I hope one day I can visit gujo-hachiman cause i have nostalgia from your vlogs and hearing the music playing around with the gentle rain and seeing the kois around and ahh its lovely.

[@emmamurinova1519]

Oh my god the video that you were talking about at the end of the video.. that would be soooo awesome. Thank you so much for this video, it really motivated me to draw in my own sketchbook ❤️

[@mattymitchem3991]

I've been silent watcher for years now and you still are one of my biggest inspirations for art! you are incredible and I LOOVE your sketchbook tours! I'm so happy you are back :D

[@maltexbaby]

Always such a blessing to see your scetchbook works,it brings sooooo much inspiration! I have a little down in my mental state so your meditating voice and your stories also help a lot!😫💔💔💔

[@baileynishay]

Thank you for sharing your PCOS experience. I also suffer with it, and I feel like I'm all alone, but hearing you talk about it makes me feel better. P.s I love your art, you inspire me so much 💕

[@bekahboehm]

This was so soothing and inspiring. I’m so thankful to see more videos from you and the thoughts behind each sketch. Today has been a big mental health battle for me and it was so nice curling up in bed and watching this when I couldn’t face my own sketchbook. Thank you!

[@Mz1andonly]

I wish you understood how much you truly inspire me. 🖤 so glad to see more of your art in my life

[@stefiosart]

seeing your sketchbooks has definitely been inspiring for me to revisit mine! i've hit a big slump with my art this past year, partly from burnout from my last year of art school, partly from a new living situation, losing all my work I made throughout college during a move, and just general issues with depression and mental health : / it's been super rough trying to get back into the groove of making things again, and I really relate to that feeling of dread you were mentioning when taking on/committing to big projects. I know I am technically capable of doing these projects, but my brain is like "no you can't!! it's going to be late and that will reflect poorly on you as a professional illustrator!" so that's been a tough hurdle to get over. It's also just a rough time to be entering the professional world, let alone the creative professional world, during a pandemic, so I've been trying to be kind to myself amongst all this and give myself time to form other hobbies and pursue things I enjoy. I didn't have a lot of time to do that when I was in school, and I think I've been having a hard time knowing what art I want to make because of that lack of fulfillment. I'm so glad to see you back on youtube again, and it gives me hope that I will eventually be able to get back into my work as well, even if some time has passed.

[@anna-pc6nj]

Your videos are so relaxing😭😭♥️♥️ watching to chill out from a stressful day

[@xXNekou]

Your sketchbooks are the most beautiful,pure aestethics, pretty much each page has a lot of character, emotion and beauty in it, and I want to thank you for sharing all of this with us, it is very inspiring ^_^

[@totallynotspooked]

I love your sketchbook tours so much 😍😍❤ You're one of my absolute favorite artists (on IG and here)

[@lolloo92]

The sketchbook with the Polaroid photos was amazing! I really hope that you will continue to work on that! All of your sketchbooks were awesome but I just really liked the concept and layout of the one with the Polaroid 💜

[@birdiegreenwell1057]

[@sharonkisilevich9196]

Can put in words how happy I am that you are back 💜 my biggest inspiration ever

[@dagger9555]

I just wanna say you were one of the first artists I saw on IG who inspired me to get back into art. Of course with mental health I hardly draw and I can’t imagine how you do it either. Thanks for being a lovely person and inspirational and still drawing with all the bs you deal with. Happy to see you creating KZbin content again 🤍

[@sandraschirm3102]

I just found your channel, man I'm happy I can binge watch all the old videos now haha! Loved the sketchbook(s) tour!!!! I'm definitely taking some inspiration away to my own sketchbooks, I love the idea of making it more personal with your every day life put into it. I'm always too precious with things and think too much about what people would think if they see things I have going on in my head. Thank you so much for sharing!
