Monthly Sketchbook Tour #1

[@CowgirlEm]

I really like this idea for the series! If you have a specific focus each month, maybe it could end with a finished piece using the knowledge you've gained? This month you could do a portrait in profile for example! Would be nice to see 😊❤️

[@BayleeJae]

That would be too much for one video, but maybe as a separate video.

[@CowgirlEm]

@@BayleeJae absolutely :)

[@IIAlexII101]

I feel like that would be a neat idea for when the sketchbook is full

[@CraftsDL]

I love that “looks like Ariel” green girl with the ponytail. I want to see her in a full illustration!

[@khgirlxion1413]

The minute you went into the avatar stuff, all I saw was sokka XD

[@BayleeJae]

A lot of Katara too, haha!

[@TheArtsyPineapple]

I am sooo about this series! I love how positive and honest you are about your art, and this improvement series has really made me want to step up my game. Thanks for being so awesome and inspiring!

[@mjpete27]

I am so glad your showing your viewers you need to keep working to improve yourself! I think everyone needs to keep their "hand" in a practice as much as we can!

[@katieorourke5658]

The Ariel vibes girl looks like she could be an explorer in a jungle scared because she heard a noise. AHHH I LOVE IT.

[@blahblahart5]

"Now I keep poking it.......ah" LOL At least you didn't play peek-a-boo.

[@shemer00]

I love the self improvement series

[@Kayreku]

I love how I can recognize certain poses from Proko's models.

[@mahagloomy3803]

I really like your way of keeping a sketchbook, it's so colourful! If you take 'criticism', for your side profiles, I'd suggest maybe lowering the position of the eye a little bit and also not placing it right against the line of the nose (I hope you understand what I mean ._.)

[@BayleeJae]

Thanks!

[@kristinlong4390]

Baylee, I just found your "self Improvement" video series, and I LOVE them! I can see they don't get as many views, but I love seeing your thought process and your practice sketches! I hope you will continue them! Don't give up on improving your art and yourself!

[@heartbreakerink8696]

I really miss this series

[@elysianrhapsody]

Me at the muscle drawings: ah yes, that there is the muscle that hurts me all the time, very relatable

[@bewitchedbat]

Ooh, I really like the hair! The different shapes are really interesting.

[@fathippocampus6137]

Another one of Baylee's amazing serieses... serieses... seriess.... series? Ah, forget it.

[@fuzzydragons]

ooh so colourful :) a monthly sketchbook tour is a good idea, shows what you are working on and also might give other people ideas about things they could focus on artistically (like the Loomis books that some people might not know about)

[@FriggyEsq]

The more I see you having FUN with exploring ways to evolve your style, the more i like what's happening to it. I really like the head you drew that you were raving over pre-the thirteen minute mark, but the page after and that front facing girlish face on the right hand side was just jaw dropping to me! I would love to see some of your favorites from this month turned into full pieces - which is a rocky topic, because people struggle with sketch-to-art piece in terms of loving it just as much as it originally was, but could easily fit into this series I think :O . Or, at the end of a couple sketchbook tours, grab bits and pieces of your favorites and piece them into something you love - like face A, headshape/hairstyle B, body C, etc, etc.

[@saskia22]

I have the same!!! Omg I saw it at dollarama when I came to Canada for 1 year and I fell in love immediately!!! 😍😍😍

[@jaredphillips9285]

I *LOVE* the fact you are constantly changing how you are doing these videos. What else really shows how quickly and vastly your style, likes and dislikes, even you as a person in general, changes from video to video? However I really like the thought of doing a monthly video because you are really able to tell what exactly you are working on and practicing, and how far you have come, even from the last video. I am so excites for this idea!!!!

[@geraldineconway1865]

Your giggle at 1:31 cracked me up.

[@sini2427]

Your actual skull practice looks nice, but in the illustrations, especially profiles or half views it seems to drop it way too low in the neck so that they have a ball for a head.

[@piscesillustrations]

"Ma'am your botty is on my art" hahahahahahahaha

[@lindz4355]

I love your sketches, for life drawing there is a free artist resource called croquis cafe that provides models of all shapes sizes...in video and as still images, they used to be here on KZbin but since shane they are on viemo. They do ask for donations but everything is free to access and for practice the one to five minute poses are fantastic. They also have some 360 videos which allow you to choose the angle of the pose. It really is a fabulous resource (I'm disabled so I can't easily get go a life drawing class, but my anatomy has improved since using these models). You can find them by searching croquis cafe, and they are also (though slightly censored) on instagram. Though to anyone interested before searching all wobbly bits are on full view in some poses so just be wary who your opening it in front of. Hope you find this tip useful thank you for so many amazing videos and gorgeous pieces of art x

[@asphodel_ren7504]

Your "old sketchbooks and drawings" video is what got me hooked on your channel so many years ago! I love this video much!

[@MerakiPainter]

Watching this video helped me make a breakthrough about noses so thank you for sharing 💜

[@jodyangel]

I have been having fun with Inktober. I mostly just been following the prompts, but drawing in whatever medium I feel works for it. Though I am still incorporating inking in some way, even if I do it digital. I just want to draw something everyday mostly.

[@piigeem1366]

Wow I need that avatar expressions! You nailed it, Baylee!

[@QueenOfKronstad]

I was wondering if Kiki is named after Kiki’s Delivery Service? If she was a male, would you call him Jiji? And btw, did you ever make fanart from the anime?

[@BayleeJae]

I guess so, since I hadn't heard the name anywhere else. Strangely enough, there is a black cat with yellow eyes in Animal Crossing named Kiki, but it was a total coincidence!

[@QueenOfKronstad]

Baylee Jae she’s really cute. Thanks.

[@ella-zo7jf]

Queen Alexandrakr your profile picture kinda scares me…

[@QueenOfKronstad]

e r r o r Boo 👻

[@ella-zo7jf]

Queen Alexandrakr ah

[@KatesColouringHaven]

Thank you so Much for this video. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m loving the beautiful colours used on your sketches. Very inspiring xx

[@sophiechadwick]

Really excited to see a art book tour!

[@fionagreen5021]

I really like these! I love to watch them when I draw! 👍🏽

[@fciriesheaven2983]

Hi Baylee!!! I miss your videos soooooooo much 💜❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have an idea!!😃😆 What about you can make a study book💜💜💜💜💜

[@demonheart13]

I petsonally love ball point pen drawings. Espevially in different colors. And yeah, it means you have to really commit

[@anneliesehaberkamp8615]

If you want to push yourself, you could try doing a sketchbook slam but have a longer time to complete it. It would just be a good way to hold yourself accountable to finishing a longer term goal if you are struggling with that. Loving the self improvement no matter what format.

[@meldixon1918]

I really like the profile Mohawk guy!

[@demonkingdom1151]

When Inktober is finished I really should start to do more of those character studies again. I hope I figure the fings out this month, which need most improving :)

[@maggiemyers8111]

Wow! I actually really love the way loish uses the angles and curves in her hair, and btw, your expressions, (that you drew XD) are really expressive and awesome!

[@ginnawalker8819]

Hi Baylee I’ve resently started watching you and I think you are amazing

[@studywithparker7861]

Yassss you have posted

[@MariaRevArt]

I love this idea. It was so cool to see what you worked on and why and how. And very inspirational. I also felt that you did a lot and I can see you improving.

[@BayleeJae]

Thank you!

[@shemer00]

Can you do more of these please

[@nalcarya]

I have the german version of that Sarah Simblet book, it's amazingly helpful and also one of the most beautifully layouted anatomy books I've ever seen.

[@lalaslane8352]

I love your self improvement series. As a beginner at art it gives me a lot of inspiration and reminds me that it’s ok to make mistakes so you can learn from them. Keep up the good work.

[@hanjibear]

I’d love to see an updated book video!

[@bekki_31]

That girl on he secound october page is just beautiful! The hair is so fluffy. i am interested in how she would look with a body, what clothes she woud wear and stuff like that.

[@nyahreads]

Your art has been improving so much recently!

[@BayleeJae]

Thank you!

[@ReptarsaurusRex]

I love this sketchbook tour! Thank you for sharing it with us, it's fun to see!

[@dennydraws8083]

Omg your work is fantastic! Watching your videos always makes me want to go and draw! 😊 Thank you for inspiring me! 💖 I make drawing videos as well!!

[@dimoudraws3483]

I honestly cannot wait for your art book collection! I personally have - 1. Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael Hampton. (Who doesn’t, though.) 2. Making Faces by 8Fish. 3. How To Draw and Paint Crazy Cartoon Characters by Vincent Woodcock. I definitely recommend 2 & 3 for your art style! 🥰

[@liekkivalas]

i like this style of video for the series!

[@ASmith001]

The kid in the corner at 6:07 looks like the dummy kid in Monsters Inc. when the monster practice scaring. Anyone else?

[@anastasiakate6094]

Yeah he does 😂

[@samasokkar5189]

I like these sketch alot, also your laugh is so infectious i love it so much 😂😂❤

[@majesticrose1434]

I love the ring with the sword on it. The other one is pretty too.

[@thelifeofmrsp]

Oh wow amazing art work would love to able to draw like this

[@wenvandedonk2426]

I really like this. It helps me! So thank you!

[@joeltilling3606]

What sketchbook is this, looks perfect for practicing and traveling? Love the colour in the book, I might do the same!

[@lindseyfrizzell2]

4:40 YAAAAY! xoxo - Lindsey 💌

[@WeblightDreams]

This is so cool that you're doing self-improvement series. I also tried it and I did the 100 eyes and 100 poses. Still want to continue it. Can't wait to see more of your self improvement. :)

[@Aimz360]

I've started going back to basics with drawing as well. Proko is great. His videos are short but i learn a lot.

[@EmeraldYakumo]

Baylee showing her sketchbook. Me staring at the sword in the ring. "Girl where you get your bling at?!"

[@AnnasDrawingChannel]

*Amazing Practice! Good job!*

[@deejayycx]

It’s been so long since I’ve watched you my bad boo I need to watch these again!

[@raevus8919]

Amazing video 💖

[@That_Eli44]

I love you re videos, I can learn from them too

[@froggedupp]

i love this style of video♥️♥️♥️ it fr gave me some solid motivation and inspiration for my own art!! you rock, man

[@varadakumari5479]

Bayleeeeee.... looooove ur style😍

[@lauracolorstoo]

Great work Baylee!

[@zaracousins3734]

i think one of the best ways to tacle the series (in terms of style) iss to mix it up. every month you do your sketchbook update but maybe every so often throw in a speed drawing or something of you doing studies or translating what you've leaaned into your style. good way of doing topic videos or extra updates of what you doing perhaps?

[@blackrose538]

I think I should start a sketchbook like this. I've been meaning to, but I often feel like the books are too expensive to just use for sketches that might not turn out very pretty, though I know that's what sketchbooks are for... Well, perhaps I should just go for it

[@BayleeJae]

Yes, new sketchbooks are strangely intimidating! They're meant to be for loose, experimental work, yet we feel like it has to look good. I feel like sketching in colour tricks me into thinking it's aesthetically pleasing, regardless of now the sketches turn out.

[@blackrose538]

Hm... maybe I'll try that Staedler erasable coloured pencil some more then, might work :) or some other coloured pencils. I have a lot of those lying around, since I love to colour. Thanks, Baylee!

[@karlaflores5180]

You should have 22 million subscribers

[@lunarpeak1982]

You should check out Mike Hawthorne hes a really good artist and does comics but he just released an anatomy book

[@TealKorby]

I love this idea!

[@ajaxthegreatest2191]

@Baylee Jae when using a ballpoint, have some scrap on the side so you can remove the excess ink that builds up. It will help your picture stay clean. Great to watch you practice.

[@astridknops873]

I think you did great. I see that you've tried a lot of things and I think you should be proud of yourself ^^

[@soopify1579]

Hi baylee!

[@SilverFoxForestsDesigns]

In honesty I love your realistic colour pencil work its light balanced and defined I prefer it far more than your illustrated work. I'd love to see you go out and do some drinking (non-alcoholic) and drawing.. so find a local cafe grab a coffee and snack and with a little book and pencil sit and draw the people. You have an amazing strength in your realism studies

[@BayleeJae]

Thank you! Yes, I would benefit a lot from sketching from life. I'll have to build up the courage and do it!

[@SilverFoxForestsDesigns]

@@BayleeJae I found a local cafe( in uk) and had a chat with the owner she was cool with me filming and drawing at the place i use it now as a base to draw from esp the window seats so i can watch the world go by. Its fun and you just have to do quick studies it's amazing what you can draw in 2 mins of watching the clothes the poses the volumes and pace , coloured pencils are great for this type of work as your own studies show,

[@PrincessOliii]

Where do you buy art Materials but for cheaper? like good ones? could you help us?

[@mpsensha]

You can call me lazy, I haven't drawn in weeks.

[@zer0metitus999]

what happened to this series tho

[@jollibae_]

10:10 SAMEEEEEE ISNT IT SUPER PRETTY

[@jamfxl]

love this video baylee! i love this style, it's great to see your sketching in this format. you should date the video title! might be nice to brand them as more of a journal type video series

[@queenjazz3029]

I use those sketchbook i like them

[@bri8845]

What about October. And November

[@edendoodles5178]

I feel like you either have Muscle artists or bone artists. Bone artists can study skulls 24/7 but muscles I just can't seem to get my heart into

[@RaeOrRaven]

Holy COOKIES- HOW?

[@YvesGeorgeSanchez]

I like this update style. Also, can you sculpt the kneaded eraser covering the privates into leaves? Lol.

[@BayleeJae]

That is an amazing idea, haha!

[@sketchingwithaustin9168]

I think that u should still record some clips of u sketching like speedpaint style. Like u can do a sketchbook tour like this one, but occasionally skip to speed drawings of the drawings. I just feel like when seeing you sketch, it just inspires me and helps me more I Guess. Trust me tho, if this is really what u want, then go ahead! Cuz I feel the pain of having to set up your camera and sketching nicely and fast and ya know the KZbinr struggles XDXD

[@imnotatomatobutapotato5882]

At the first page I was like....oohh,you went to art school?

[@matildamonti7596]

You said you have some problem with the profile view while drawing, i think that you might wanna try to incline the neck a bit more! I do this all the time, but in reality the neck is never that straight down. If you tilt that a bit the pose will gain a more realistic pose, it helps so much! I hope i was helpful 😊
