Can you please do a “day in the life of a Calarts student!” I’m really curious to know how your life is over there, thankyou

[@hannahdeards9652]

Yessss I'd really love to see this!!

[@Mazadepizza]

Me toi

[@byte_marks]

DITTO. I have lived within 5 miles of CalArts for my entire life and the school is aloof af.

[@Meppity]

Ardyss Hawley aloof? We’re just incredibly busy!! Either way, I’d love to do a “day in the life” video - I’m just super self conscious about vlogging 🤪

[@AudreyB123]

Yes I would enjoy a video like that to but if you want a day in the life to see what art school is like your not gonna see the full experience in one day.

[@anastasijac.r8732]

Your videos and art are very cool, can't believe you're not more popular

"We went to an Owl Cafe" a WHAT now

[@kyra2637]

Naikê Perdomo japan has these little cafes or shops where you can just hang with animals! they range from mundane animals like cats, dogs, and hedgehogs to exotics like owls and even otters! also you kinda have to be careful about which cafes you support bc a bunch neglect their animals and house them in poor conditions

[@naka4125]

Wow you learn a new thing everyday

[@christa6298]

You really help me remember how important it is to study anatomy. You have a wonderful understanding of the body’s proportions.

[@noemsnoems5557]

Sketchbooks don't have (and usually DON'T) look like that ! I just want to tell that because some may understand the concept not as it was meant to be : there is nothing with having a messing sketchbook, making errors and have not-so-nice drawings !

[@XerkDaniels]

There is when you are submitting it for a grade, or college admission. Edit: This doesn't mean they should be finished works. It just means don't depict an inability to learn from mistakes or general disorganization.

[@lorenamendonca4073]

This was a university application submission though, so they should look as good as possible

[@LOCAL_LEE]

*c o l l e g e a d m i s s i o n* We get that not everything in a sketchbook has to be pretty, trust me. Also, it's not like every page was finished and to Meppity's liking.

[@andioop7940]

That’s true, but it’s not really more about whether a sketchbook is messy or clean. As long as you’ve drawn from life, experimented with different styles and have demonstrated your observational skills through your drawings, then the sketchbook is good to go. She clearly did this really well, it’s just that most technical sketchbooks are messy since not many people can draw clean lines while watching something move and still capture it’s movement. As long as you can draw from life and show it then you’re good to go.

[@valleybiitch]

well this isn't just a personal sketchbook, this was to get accepted to a nice art school so if you're doing a sketchbook with the intention of using it professionally, they yea it should look like this.

[@sweetpeaon3]

I had the same reaction to this video as to your last Calarts one. When you opened your sketchbook to the first few pages, I audibly exclaimed: "Oh yeah, THAT'S why you were accepted!" Everything from your dance video drawings (which is a really incredible idea btw) to your art of different houses and architecture is so well-planed and bold. I'm wishing you all the best in college, keep being awesome!

[@Abi-pu6sp]

the birds work for the bourgeoisie!

[@shannonhughes8488]

your art is so inspiring! congrats on getting to pursue your dream, you'll do amazing~

[@ellemarland3879]

My first thought when you went to that page was "... 2d?" Glad to see I haven't failed my boy.

[@pherasabraxas]

elleanna marland 2D was the first thing I thought as well.

[@glencoconut]

5:00 I love the poses on this page and the way some of them are kinda unconventional so they all fit around each other. These drawings have given me so much inspo

[@alexa6321]

I love your videos! Do you think you could make a video showing your favorite art supplies or what’s in your pencil case?

[@theodosiaburralston2411]

Yes-yes-yes!My favourite artist came back with her sketcbook!

[@suzi-ml8ep]

How do you draw people and animals that are moving around? Like do you see the object you’re trying to draw and have in in your head or do you draw really fast before they move?

[@oliainger6527]

possibly taking pictures or videos then slowing it down, or drawing really quickly like u said

[@HufflepuffShortie]

Drawings like that are usually quick and rough sketches and then going back in later to finish

[@ethanharch8562]

your sketchbook is friggin awesome not just the art but the creativity

[@marcronison]

i literally want every page as a poster omg you’re so talented you’ll go so far💓💓💓well done and wishing u luck at this school :)

[@beheadedbat4925]

I love watching these when I feel nervous for something :) you are so calming and nice!

[@jessicaprasertsri5482]

it's so weird when I saw the library drawing I knew exactly what school she went too, they have the best art department!

[@sydneyhasthetea8912]

I watched both parts of these videos and I just have to say I love them. The way you draw and add everything into your sketchbooks are so cool and I feel so inspired after watching. I'm actually going to get myself a similar sketchbook and try something similar because I feel like I don't explore enough creatively. Thank you for the videos!!

[@wingangel479]

I honestly love how she uses the same background music in her videos, and she is such an INSPIRATION ✨

[@yatsuillustrations]

6:37 AWESOME! When you use blue I see a lot of movement! Love it!! So glad I found your channel.

[@anniesun6468]

Ive been watching your sketchbook videos a lot recently and its amazing you got into calarts!

[@cornsandwitch]

The rainbow pencil figure drawings are beautiful. Especially the parts where the pencil went yellow - it creates so much energy in the lines!

[@Demon_in_Chains]

Not much to say about this: it's fricking AMAZING! Damn, gurl! This gives me so stunning aesthetic vibes!!!! I'm gonna watch it over and over again! You frickin deserve to be accepted!!!

[@RadishTheFool]

These two sketchbook tours have been so amazing. You really showcase all (or probably not even all) that you can do, it's so diverse. And very personal as well. Thank you so much, this has given me inspiration and ideas for what I'd like to work on for my own sketchbooks. become in

idk if you’ll see this but your videos (especially your sketchbook ones) really calm my anxiety and make me feel good and inspired. thank you😊 i love your style and the stories behind your art

[@lune8533]

Talent doesn't carry you all the way, though. A large part of success is also hard work.

[@Kaizykat]

I went to an art school on the opposite side of the country (SCAD), and you're seriously just _starting_ school? This looks rad! You have a great grasp on the principles and elements of art already and you've been using all kind of media. I think that whoever teaches you is going to be in for a treat because you seem really disciplined and focused. Hopefully, everything will go well for you. Art schools tend to be pretty intense, so remember to take care of yourself. It sounds like you've already had some intense classes. I jumped from zero art background into the art world. Thank God I didn't have too many drawing classes before I was able to start work with photography.

[@noellejones7164]

Kaizykat ooh scad! you lived in savannah then!

This is super cool to see a lot of stylized figures and art in the sketchbook, since I thought I’m going to have to go insane with being realistic.

6:41 made me chuckle because I saw it and went “looks like 2D from gorillaz” and then she said it was “low key” based on him

Looking at your sketchbooks give me so much inspiration and the same amount of depression, but with art you have to keep drawing or youll never be better...and it sucks lol On a separate tone Wishing you the best luck at school!

[@abbeyangevine1773]

If you don’t mind me asking, how did you manage to keep everything from bleeding through on this kind of sketchbook? I own one now and I find it nearly outright impossible to get anything thicker than a pen to keep to one side.

[@Meppity]

Abigail Angevine the paper in this book is 180gsm (so pretty thick) and I tried to avoid alcohol markers like copics when I could. Crayola was my friend!!

[@Can_of_L]

This gives me so much inspiration tbh. Im starting on my sketchbook (i guess its a little early but i want to submit two and it takes me about three months to complete a sketchbook so)

[@LannasMissingLink]

Dont be disheartened if yours isnt as neat as this one, and know that you can paint over mistakes or add sticky notes like she did. Also if you're applying to art school, have a submission sketchbook and a personal one for experimenting and where you can be more relaxed and make mistakes. Sketchbooks for personal use are NEVER as clean as portfolio sketchbooks

[@Can_of_L]

Lanna's Missing Link thank you for the advice! Usually my sketchbook is just a honjob mess (in a good way) but my Calarts sketchbook is giving me anxiety. I know it shouldn’t be perfect but i cant help but look at all my mistakes. Regardless, this is really encouraging. I’m so nervous. :(

[@LannasMissingLink]

@@Can_of_L you can do it! If you're looking for inspiration, Minnie Small has a series called 30 ways to fill a sketchbook, I often check it out when I'm stuck. Also check out James Gurney, another one of my icons. I dunno how he paints the way he does! Magic or something. You'll make it!! Just keep pushing forward

[@Can_of_L]

Lanna's Missing Link thank you! Ill definitely look into it!

[@zoevickers7286]

[@Rileigho]

I’m not familiar with applying to art schools, but do you create these sketchbooks with the intent of sending them to art schools or do you just pick a sketchbook that you like to send?

[@asecondago7]

In my experience: You make that sketchbook specifically for the art school you're applying to. Some even have themes they want to see, therefore it's hard to recycle these. BUT they dont just wanna see what you can draw in 10hrs+, they often want expressive, fast sketches for example. It can be a variety of things you need to consider before drawing, sometimes you can choose a lot and sometimes you don't have the freedom, it depends

liked your construction worker sketch. But it's true. I married one, and we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Expensive airfare, hotel, rental car, food. We went to one location, got out of the car and were looking at a beautiful lush, tropical area filled with plants and flowers. The smell of flowers was amazing. I was really enjoying it, relaxing and taking it all in. And HE said, "Ya know, they should cut all this down and build CONDOS"!!! Can you believe it?? I couldn't. Oh sure, we travelled across an ocean to a tropical paradise to see CONDOS?? We could have stayed home for that. Wanted to punch him I swear

[@sashenkalira3426]

I have a cuestion, when you drew the pages when people is talking or doing normal activities in group, did you draw all this at the moment or did you take a picture? Because I've always thought in take a picture and then draw it haha. Sry, for my bad english .

Calarts is the school I go to! It’s in California and this is my first year. I didn’t go to art school before that. :)

[@scarlettwilkins6043]

I know calarts care mostly about your portfolio but do your art gcse/a level grades makes difference ? Anyway your videos are sooo helpful and I hope calarts is going well

[@Meppity]

Grades aren’t really important but it’s still good to do your best! Unless they’re particularly low, it won’t affect your chance of getting in.
