Old Sketchbooks & Drawings [Part 2]

[@BayleeJae]

My first anime drawings were done around the age of 12, but I really didn't start drawing more of it until I was 15.

[@tinekesmith9071]

Wow ok now im in the mood to draw

[@_zi-sama_6599]

[@infinitelyperfect.]

Tineke smith happens to me all the time

[@ashrafimam865]

Same loll

[@om1210]

You are so talented! I love all of your drawings! I'm like a beginner and i'm so so happy that i find you channel it's so helpful! Thank you so much!

[@BayleeJae]

Check my channel description. :)

[@gracechen6400]

U draw so many anime characters and are actually AMAZING at it!!!! I they to draw these and look nothing like them. U are truly amazing.

[@BayleeJae]

Lucia from Mermaid Melody.

[@cuteyfruitloopsjamaa3530]

This all makes me feel bad about myself and my drawings, I'm twelve right now and I love drawing, but I don't think I'm ever going to be as good as you, you are honestly amazing and have a lot of talent :) XD

[@se_ri]

+Cuteyfruitloops Jamaa Ikr. I'm only 11 and one of my biggest dreams is to draw good, but I totally suck at drawing :T

[@alyssavang1587]

Same

[@as3736]

+Cuteyfruitloops Jamaa tips for everyone. get into drawing not just out of nicety, but out of necessity. I got rally good cuz my handwriting was bad, and id make extra notes of important parts for big tests, not only were my notes understandable, but I got rally good at drawing cells and people from the revolution

[@theklalillenes]

yeah. im 11 now. this makes me feel so bad about myself...

[@ida2300]

remember that she was a lot older than what you guys (and me) are now so there's still hope! XD but seriously :P find a teacher or watch different youtube videos and just keep drawing! one day you'll be just as good as baylee - maybe even better

[@BayleeJae]

Copying and tracing are not the same thing. When I say copy, I mean look at it and make a copy.

[@roacheriosscribbles7130]

Don't you hate it when some one rips out a pice of your paper from your note book?

[@gil5885]

I bet Light Yagami does

[@gil5885]

* bad dum tiss *

[@roacheriosscribbles7130]

My favorite character from death note is... L riuzaki I do not no how to spell his name

[@ElliMsp]

Rocio Rivera 'L Ryuzaki' I guess :) L is awesome c:

[@roacheriosscribbles7130]

I agree

[@BayleeJae]

They aren't deleted. If you go to the channel, you can see the videos on the right hand side in playlists.

[@PuffedGill]

7:33 I screamed really loudly because she drew SOUL EATER!!!!! XD

[@laurentiare]

Mesty The Cat My Soul Eater Fans...UNITE FOR THE LOVE OF SYMMETRY!!! xD

[@marisabravo3887]

[@BayleeJae]

[@theweirdalpaca_tm7541]

I'm Bad At Drawing,YOUR DRAWINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL

[@zeearts9484]

PICHI PICHI PICH ON THE THUMBNAIL YEEEEEEES!!!I LOVE LUCHIAAAA 😂😂😂!!!!!SHES SO CUTE!

[@sybil2980]

I was like omg when I saw vocaloid in your skechbook💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@BayleeJae]

I mainly use Copic markers, but I also use pencil crayons and watercolour paints.

[@sparklingcandycraft5603]

You said copied do you mean to trace or draw it freehand

[@BumbleBaylee]

I looked at a picture and copied it free hand.

[@BayleeJae]

Sorry, I replied with my wrong account. I looked at the pictures and copied them freehand.

[@joerogan8118]

Derp

[@zorriannamcgee6004]

Baylee Jae did I just see zero and Yuki off of vampire knight?

[@zorriannamcgee6004]

Yay!!!!!more vampire knight

[@BayleeJae]

Over the next three months I will be preparing by building models, rigging characters and props, finding music, etc. Then for the next three months after that, I will be animating it. The reason I am not animating it until then is because it's an assignment for a class I'm not starting until January. But I need to have all my stuff ready to animate by then. I have to present my idea to a panel of professionals tomorrow. Getting nervous!

[@RareFairyRaindrop]

1:15 that is actually from the anime Fate/Stay Night. The purple one is Sakuya, The brown haired one is Rin and the blonde is Saber. It is a very good anime you should watch it!

[@sunnychen43]

And i thought i was the only one!

[@milknight5181]

I saw that one too

[@BayleeJae]

Copic is the best if you are using Copic markers. I also have Sakura Micron pens, g-pens and maru pens, Kaimei ink, Deleter ink and Pilot ink.

[@justiceredding7738]

Do you think copying helped practice drawing.? Did it improve anything.?

[@knickknackmitknick9288]

Yes!

[@milknight5181]

yes

[@insertedgyemobandnameshere813]

Justice Redding yes

[@raymond3048]

being an artist myself thats a VERY annoying comment yes is does kinda help if you don't trace it follow the lines and later it will develop into your own style i know because i did my style that way you probably didn't mean anything but i couldn't help myself people disrespect artists like a kid in my class copying is way different then tracing so there a expiation oh art idk why i went on a rant sorry if you meant nothing by this its kinda annoying the way you worded it

[@sweetbubbles4539]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS because you are training your mind of where things should go you can't draw a school without details to look at unless you got a photo graph mind

[@rainbowproductions8435]

Mermaid melody is one of my favorite cartoons

[@frozenfurys9098]

In my library mermaid melody is called pichi pichi pitch I think so it confuzzled me and btws I'm in America

[@brianna9791]

well if your talking about the anime there are two seasons 1st one is called mermaid melody 2nd season is mermaid melody pichi pichi pitch. the manga was called mermaid melody pic hi pic hi pitch. Hope I somehow helped

[@BayleeJae]

I mainly use Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.

[@money_yen]

you should make a tutorial about like tips on how to be a manga artist or something. and shugo chara! soul eater! bleach!

[@BayleeJae]

Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist by Stephen Rogers Peck is a great classic. Anatomy for the Artist by Sarah Simblet is an amazing book as well, with a lot of female anatomy, which is nice, since most books focus almost exclusively on males.

[@DecxmberDxrnell.]

This makes me feel so talentless xD

[@victoriamoya6908]

Me too, but a lot of people tell me I have talent in art. I am good at drawing anime

[@DecxmberDxrnell.]

Victoria Moya same

[@animelove9181]

I'm good at drawing mostly anime but i can do other its not that good tho

[@victoriamoya6908]

+anime Love oh cooll

[@emilyshepherd4457]

I know right

[@BayleeJae]

Not really. I do change up my style slightly, but I don't actually use other people's art as reference.

[@nishapatel5291]

I love fairy tail too I love love love love it What episode r u on I am waiting for episode 176

[@desireehamilton3523]

nisha patel omg I love that show

[@OneTail-qp7fs]

176 is already out wayyyyy long ago! there on like 200 now. You can watch at Soulanime.com

[@alyssavang1587]

FAIRY TAIL FOR LIFE

[@minahjade]

Fairy tail is fave

[@milknight5181]

I read the manga, but I still love it

[@BayleeJae]

It's a manga. I don't have any links because I own the books. You could try googling it though.

[@jadenparker01]

By copying do you mean just using as like, looking at it and then drawing it on your paper or tracing?

[@sleepless_films9028]

I think she meant by copying not tracing-

[@BayleeJae]

My high school had an art class, but since I was in french immersion, I couldn't take art classes since they wouldn't fit into my schedule :( I went to a couple art day camps with my cousin when I was little, but that's it.

[@caylapeach]

When you say copy do you mean tracing or you just copied a picture free handed?

[@ghostyperla3262]

copy means she did not invent it she just drew what she saw free handed

[@caylapeach]

+GhostieChan Kat Oh OK I was just wondering because some people have different definitions of copy

[@cactussenpai9625]

caywahh the other people think when you say copy is tracing. Those are different things. Copying requires a lot more skills

[@BayleeJae]

Nope. Look for my camera setup video to see exactly how I do it. It doesn't really make sense if I describe it in words.

[@InkyLotus]

Am I the only one who flipped when I saw ichigo ans Rukia? Yes? …OK then

[@BayleeJae]

I know that feeling all too well. You see other artists and get discouraged. I almost scrapped ALL the prints I made for Anime Revolution because I felt like my prints were going to be the worst there since everyone there is super talented. But I am forcing myself to sell them there, even the ones I'm not so proud of.

[@chloe-up4wu]

Watches this right after the first one Me: MORE VAMPIRE KNIGHT SCREECH Mom: CHLOE GO TO FUCKING BED

[@BayleeJae]

Yep.

[@lapislazuli161]

what's mermaid melody?

[@sampaghosh9266]

Lapis Lazuli it's an anime a childhood anime for me

[@MariiiiMarija]

best anime I'm just kidding. But I really liked that anime as a child xD

[@travionabeck6166]

I like your business. l. LOVE you

[@ALST15]

its a girly anime with mermaids fighting evil people of the sea world while their own stories are shown too! it has great songs i believe !

[@MariiiiMarija]

stelin alee True, true!! ^^

[@gatoandpeanutoffical5228]

Omg someone who loved mermaids melody as much as I did

[@PopfrankieTV]

You old drawings are awesome! Mine are ... bad xD

[@BayleeJae]

Base it off designs from real life maybe? But add your own ideas to it I don't know really. I haven't really had to come up with many outfits.

[@ckuronma]

Im just staring at the pictures you copied when u were really young..thinking, 'i never could copy pictures like that when I was 11!' ugh, you sorta make me feel like a slow learner..:P

[@BayleeJae]

No, I haven't yet!

[@scrublord5760]

whY does pumba have claws???

[@hiskeeperathome]

The lines are so smooth and the colors are so solid that thoes drawings look like digital drawings. Wow... even if they were from a while ago,i still like them. *nod of approval*

[@spn0905]

Arghh.. I'm so jelly of you

[@kayemerich7481]

i love mermaid melody tooo!!!

[@jaydenmrozinski9408]

I love drawings so much and I hope you don't mine but could u draw me

[@BayleeJae]

This channel is the only one I have right now.

[@sammymiller3411]

yes im not the only anime geek on youtube

[@tenyeti]

You are one of many. MANY..

[@BayleeJae]

Take your favourite elements from other styles to make your own style. It's good to have more than one style though. Don't limit yourself too much.

[@cake8765]

...Shugo Chara

[@BayleeJae]

Hmmm I don't know. I wasn't planning on it.

[@NBlythe12369]

One guy looks like Aaron from Aphmaus channel

[@miriamfuentes7541]

N Blythe who looks like Aaron? At what time to

[@marks2244]

N Blythe I miss aaron I shipped Aarmau soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!!

[@hisisters66]

Marsk S garmau

[@aliyahthomas7388]

N Blythe its at 4:26

[@BayleeJae]

No, I don't copy anymore unless I am doing anatomy studies in which case I am copying from anatomy books. But you won't see me posting that online anywhere. In my opinion, copying is bad unless you are new to drawing. It's a good way to start, but you definitely need to stop at some point. And don't post those drawings to deviantart or anything because it's technically art theft if you claim it as your own. Copying can be helpful at first, but a copied drawing is not art.

[@Proelite704]

You drew better in school

[@sidgullikson4321]

She draws better then you at least

[@se_ri]

+Starlight Tardis How would you know that she draws better than him? And he probably wasn't saying that as an insult, it's just the type of drawing he likes. He might like manga and anime drawings better than her drawings now, but you shouldn't just come over here and insult him .-.

[@sidgullikson4321]

Yeah, i realized that when i was reading over what i said, because everyone thinks differently and i should respect that. Also, HELLO FELLOW PHANDOM MEMBER

[@PracticeDrawing101]

+Cheetah AJ Wasn't really an insult to him either. Unless you think they're both bad. :p

[@se_ri]

Okai .-. And hellur Phandom member :3 Im getting TABINOF!

[@bekahshook901]

MERMAID MELODY WAS THE FIST ANIME I WATCHED AND WAS WHAT GOT ME INTO ANIME YAAASS

[@raccoongirl6516]

OH MY GOSH, I AM AN ABSOLUTE V KNIGHT FAN AND I JUST ALMOST LITTERALLY SCREAMED WHEN SHE SHOWED THE V KNIGHT DRAWINGS, SHE DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB.

[@maxthebat_]

you should draw more anime, manga, and vocaloids. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

[@maxthebat_]

SCP 953 why?

[@maxthebat_]

SCP 953 why? she's so good!

[@maxthebat_]

SCP 953 I know, BUT SHE IS SO GOOD!

[@maxthebat_]

SCP 953 I like anime. :(

[@maxthebat_]

SCP 953 yeah. but I look up to people who can draw anime really well, because I want to draw anime.

[@BayleeJae]

They are Reeve's watercolours that I got when I was 10.

[@osnowbiteo4337]

1:16 I drew the girl with the purple hair on the far left back in high school when I was into drawing Anime and Manga! Now I've just seen my favourite KZbinr draw the same thing yay! :D

[@BayleeJae]

Yes. There have been 3 different artists on mangalessons, and I was the first one. Thanks!

[@BayleeJae]

Yup, it is :)

[@BayleeJae]

It's okay. It can sometimes be a hassle going through a person's videos to try and find an answer. I don't mind redirecting people :)

[@BayleeJae]

Yeah I know :)

[@BayleeJae]

Haha, no he's the same age as me. I was using an old photo.

[@BayleeJae]

Used to.

[@BayleeJae]

At least I used to back when I was in high school.

[@soiboi8717]

the first page with bookmark desighns......SOUL EATER!!! OMG I'M SO HAPPY NOW

[@BayleeJae]

I don't have an "old style." Even now I'm still experimenting to try and find a signature style. But I'm not trying to find ONE style that I stick to. I want some variety in my work.

[@BayleeJae]

I have a video called "How I Set Up My Camera 2012" that you should watch. I don't normally use my tripod like I did in this video. I don't know what kind it is.

[@BayleeJae]

Probably my Copic multiliners

[@BayleeJae]

I'm not sponsored by them anymore. I quit because it took up too much of my time. All my tutorials are on this channel now.

[@BayleeJae]

Thanks Zennie! :)

[@dion1955]

Mermaid melody was one of my first animes..........

[@BayleeJae]

I'm not addicted to MM, but I used to be. I watched anime between the ages of 15 and 17. I don't watch it anymore though.

[@Kiyoina99]

6:09 OMG Its Zero and Yuki!!! Sooo cuteee, I like you drawings!

[@TheMOMOTREE]

[@BayleeJae]

The colours of the rainbowwwwww

[@gamzenikss2001]

Omg mermaid melody was one of my first animes ever xd

[@BayleeJae]

Well all the pictures are from somewhere. But I found them randomly using google images.

[@BayleeJae]

I did have a book, but it was not good at all. I mainly just taught myself over time.

[@BayleeJae]

I don't remember

[@BayleeJae]

Yeah, I know. I'm a huge Pokemon fan. ;)

[@yoohei8633]

so many drawings are really accurate especially the vampire knight page it looked so exact

[@Amani-mw9cv]

I totally love those drawings. I also love how you draw those manga styles and started to go to your own style. And that youtube challenge was a big deal and it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BayleeJae]

Thank you so much! :)

[@wintergirlxx114]

[@mzbeba787]

Amazing, I love all of your drawings....

[@Luis_Guilbe]

Omg I am in love with your drawings your drawings are awesome good job you're awesome I wish I could draw like you.

[@maebh3412]

at school i had a roughwork copy where i did all my sketches and i was in a group with boys for a project and we used my roughwork ( i was writing in it, since it was my copy) for ideas and then the teacher put me in with my friends and omgod they *kept* my copy. I was so worried that they would look at my bad sketches or something, they wouldnt give it back. Then the *teacher* took it up and took out those pages and stapled them. I was relieved when i got my copy back!

[@sugafreekookie8478]

This made me want to flup through my old sketchbooks, I have definitely improved

[@elise9084]

I love the shoujo look you were going for in your old art. You make the style look good :)

[@BayleeJae]

Aww thanks! :3
