Sketchbook Tour #9 || The messy one 💀

[@TomfooleryInc-gn3gb]

I just remembered that you existed and now I'm filled with motivation to work on my stories, thanks :)

[@alieninabox]

Ahh that's so great to hear!

[@cassythetree]

I love your art so much. I feel like drawing beards now. I'm going to be drawing my oc Jonathan for the rest of the day because he's like my only oc with a beard. which i'm totally realizing is a shame because i love characters with beards.

[@alieninabox]

Can’t go wrong with a good beard! 🧔🏻‍♂️

[@breadmayhem]

oh my god i remember watching your videos 3 years ago im so glad to know youre still posting i love your art so much

[@MrRubixCube]

Man, I was thinking about you today! I really missed watching your videos, glad I summoned you back!

[@alieninabox]

Thank you for summoning me back! 😂 It was about time I got a new video out

[@Clara-vu7zo]

I love how your sketchbooks look, I find it so aesthetic! I see you've drawn quite a few couples in this one and I was wondering if maybe you could do a video on the couples that you have? I think it would be interesting to see the relationships among your characters. Also! I'd love to see the video on that "doors" page, I wouldn't mind if it was an hour or longer!

[@alieninabox]

Thank you💕 And that's a great idea for a video! It sounds like it would be really fun to make too 👀 As for the one with the doors, I'm pretty sure I got close to finishing it when I gave up on editing, so it might eventually show up one day 😂

[@peachyjjarred]

You’re so inspiring!!!! Your OCs give me so much joy and just make me smile

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thats great to hear! Thank you so much 😭💕💕

[@Snailopod]

Ur art makes me so happy

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thank you!! 💕💕💕

[@eliontheinternet3298]

Your videos always feel like catching up with an old friend! We may not always be in touch but we just pick right back up where we left off 😊

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thank you so much! That's such a great vibe, I love it 😭💕💕

[@queenjazz3029]

Those videos always inspire me to draw I. Color but when I do it turns bad because I can't color, it ways looks muddy

[@alieninabox]

If it makes you feel any better, my colours used to come out pretty muddy too, and sometimes still do when I try a new art supply. It definitely takes some practice, especially when mixing colours from scratch!

[@moatsandmagicians]

as someone who also struggles with color, the best thing to do is simply to practice. if you're someone who, the reason you struggle w/coloring is because of lack of patience, i would put a playlist on in the background and force yourself to draw for a required portion of it! that has helped me do more complicated pieces. or getting a mixed media sketchbook if you do not already have one. but i get exactly what you're saying, and i wish us both luck. coloring is its own beast!

[@queenjazz3029]

@@moatsandmagicians thanks yeah that sure can help

[@misakimanjoume]

I personally love both neat sketchbook and messy ones. I think it's good to remind yourself as an artist how to not be too precious with your works. Great tour as usual :)

[@alieninabox]

Definitely! It was really nice to just ditch pages that I didn't feel like finishing, without feeling like I was wasting nice paper 😂 And thank you! 💕💕

[@uncarbonatedmilk_]

ive watched you since i was a super amateur artist, (like 10 years old) you've been a huge influence ❤❤❤

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thank you so much!! ❤❤❤

[@moatsandmagicians]

your art is always so colorful and expressive! i love the way that it looks and feels, it's amazing!!! i love learning so much about your ocs each time you post about them, and i love the way that you line your art up in your sketchbooks. coloring in general is something i struggle with so much, so it's fascinating to me to see such colorful art as your own. also the way you draw buildings and layouts, as someone who wanted to be an architect as a kid - wow! i also want to say thank you for posting in general! whenever i see you post it makes me so happy i end up telling a few of my friends about it and almost always run to watch whatever it is. thank you for making content, you inspire me so much with your art and your personality makes all of your videos so fun to watch! i've been here for around 4 years now and you've inspired and entertained me for a long time! thank you so much for all the happiness that you bring whenever you post, i can't wait to see more. with love~ ♡

[@alieninabox]

Ahh this means so much to me! I'm so happy to hear that you like learning about my characters, because I definitely get scared that I ramble about them a little too much at times 😂 I remember wanting to be an architect as a kid too, so that's probably why I like drawing houses so much now! Thank you so much for your comment, and for sticking around so long. It's definitely made my day! ❤❤❤

[@beckettsb0nes865]

I didn't get to see this as soon as it went up, I'm so excited though! since I left Instagram and Twitter seeing your content is very limited. your art over the past several years has been so inspiring to me. it gives me alot of confidence in myself to see your art and it's evolution. I also love your videos so much also: are all your monster ocs in the freaskshow universe or is it just vinny?

[@alieninabox]

Thank you!! That means so much to me 💕💕 And usually all of my monster-ish characters end up at the freakshow. Rhudi and Dandy are the only ones I can think of that aren't part of it so far 😂

[@lane_ilustra]

always missing your videos dude, this made my day BY THE WAY is Rani single?

[@alieninabox]

Ahh thank you so much! That's great to hear 😭 And he definitely is for now 👀 👀 👀
