[@gertietheduck]

My one drawing talent is that I can draw very realistic horses from memory. This is due to a childhood obsession with horses and different horse breeds (I never owned a horse and didn't really live close to any or ride other than occasionally on holidays, so not sure where that came from, haha). I can tell you that beyond childhood my magical skill has not served me much. I love your blue horses - they have so much personality.

[@Whydoyouhidefromme]

I love how everybody loves drawing horses😂 but being able to draw them from memory perfectly is amazing ❤

[@geraldineconway1865]

That’s quite a talent.

[@littlewillowlinda]

OMG are we the same person?? I can draw horses from memory bc of my childhood obsession too!! And never rode or met one till later on, I think I was obsessed with the saddle club 😹

[@gertietheduck]

@@littlewillowlinda I totally forgot but as a kid I was given a bunch of old Black Stallion series books! So my obsession stems from books too!

[@michaelbyrd7883]

Look Toulouse La Trec horse drawings and Edgar Degas’ horse paintings and George Stubbs (probably Englands) greatest horse painter.

[@hannahellis7974]

"I think the reason why these were so successful is because I went into them thinking they would just be little sketchbook paintings" so real

[@brenrich3250]

One of my favourite things about sketchbooking is if you don’t like something, you can paint over the page and do something new.

[@someoneschannel9734]

I do that all the time. I draw something but seems boring so I erase it or flip the page, trace over it and create something different.😅

[@possumguts]

Talens Art Creations is the value line under the Royal Talens brand, which is Dutch. Van Gogh is their student line, and Rembrandt is their professional line. They have some other lines as well, including one just called 'Talens'. Hope this helps!

[@caratherese]

"I like being forced to make marks confidently." I needed this! Erasers are my enemy. I will drive myself nuts and never finish. I *just* started doing everything in my newest sketchbook with a fudenosuke and I love how imperfectly bold it all is.

[@mintchoco1849]

4:01 idk why but i LOVED this horse SO MUCH. It spoke to my inner child and it almost seemed to be telling me that everything is going to be alright.. Which is why I was surprised you weren’t a big fan! I am also trying to pick up art again, and you reminded me that just because i hate my art, doesn’t mean that it isn’t art. Tysm for sharing! You are an eccentric artist and i’m very grateful i stumbled across your channel!!🩵

[@littletinyegg]

aww thank you so much!

[@ambermaguire2318]

Such an amazing sketchbook!! This has really inspired me to be more creative and not put so much pressure on having to finish every drawing and it having to be 'perfect'. Watching you share a page you didn't love and then turn over to something you were really proud of reminded me that it doesn't have to be this linear process of getting better every time you make something, so thank you!!

[@Haxicab]

It's always interesting to see what pages people like and don't like in their own sketchbooks. I really enjoyed the ones you weren't happy with.

[@LuSquared_]

Love that first blue horse, its like Jacob horses more detailed cousin

[@boyinblue.]

Another drawfee fan spotted in the wild!

[@user-vx3pp5kr3k]

I GOT OBSSESED WITH BLUE HORSES TOO. Because of a song called blue horses, that's crazy. I couldn't stop drawing them

[@kato1982]

I love watching your videos. I'm laying on the bed with my 2 week old baby and a horrible cold so I was really happy when I saw there was a new video to watch! Always inspiring with lots of feel good vibes! Thank you

[@Voltios-bb3gy]

is the baby 4 weeks old now? omg they grow so fast

[@KassandraCarmona]

I love little knit hooded girls! They look cozy just like how it feels to watch your videos💖 I’ve been halted at the end of my sketchbook but now I’ll be drawing some blue horses from memory. Wish me luck.

[@MusedByArt]

Seeing artists who have a cool style draw or paint insects makes my phobia of them less intense. When I saw the beetle at 11:44 I fell a little bit in love with beetles. Your entire sketchbook is awesome!

[@emilycashel5495]

those blue horses r perfect they just don't have manes :) love them!

[@kyttenn]

The three running horses are the pharaohs horses, hugely popular traditional tattoo motif

[@SeamusLeGris]

You make poorly proportioned/bad memory drawings of animals look cooler than a hyper realistic drawing cojld be

[@mattieleerootandpine]

"This is a blue horse" - laughed out loud at this one. What a fun tour! Inspired me to get my sketchbook out this weekend!

[@remilemonde]

So I really enjoyed this. The blue horses and the green page with the butterfly were my favorites. I’m impressed with your ‘from memory’ horses! This tour gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks for sharing!

[@samy_loewe]

Love how different the pages are, so many great works of art 😍

[@kfaulknerstudio]

The pears are my favorite. I also love your gouache landscapes.

[@Saltysnaily]

4:59 I am absolutely in LOOOOVE with the layering of more realistic and stylized artwork. Honestly, I think the blue horses are really good despite what you might think, yes, they looks silly, but they appeal to my inner child and they have some kind of poetic value to them :0 In general, love your sketchbook so much !! can't wait to see what comes next in your art journey :]

[@scaredlittlebug]

I really liked your first idea of starting a sketchbook with a lil list of inspiration/drawing menu ! Good stuff

[@chovion]

Recently I love putting on sketch book tours / blogs for background noise as I doodle/sketch! It’s very relaxing 💞 ty for this video

[@bripuck976]

Man I love sketchbooks. I love looking back and seeing the journey too (both art wise and just general life adventures that the sketchbook has come along for).

[@taylorbenson737]

I LOVE THE BLUE HORSES!!!!!! so cute wow

[@papaglenford]

plus your fish are really good with the colour added. i think it worked

[@MelMitchJackArt]

this is great! I also love drawing people looking at their phone. the most controlled figure models ever! the model with the plastic snake sounds too damn funny, I would've absolutely lost my mind laughing at that one... and the barbie doll?! 💀

[@maalaus]

My favourite thing about sketchbooks is that you can take them anywhere!🌞

[@lunamothtarot9636]

Love this! Thank you 😊 im getting back into art after a long hiatus so I'm soaking all the inspo and relatable content rn haha

[@canadakaren1131]

Love love love! I like the snow and desert paintings . You definitely have an awesome style Kristen 😊

[@sarahb.6475]

Wonderful sketchbook! I especially love the horses! I drew a horse the other day too. Well its a pony actually. And the day before I drew a draft cross. I also like to walk around and take photos of stuff that catches my eye to later turn them into drawings.

[@22catattack]

I LOVE the first blue horse from memory! So whimsical!

[@thyme-in-a-bubble]

I just gotta tell you that you're one of the inspirations for the main character in a book i'm writing

[@marenstew]

I love seeing your sketchbooks! They’re always so inspiring!! Can’t wait to see your next one!! 🩵

[@tinymillymakes]

Oh lord those fish, I'm honestly so glad you did paint them! They're so vibrant and beautiful. Love your fish and you inspire me to want to draw so I've been doodling some herbs in my ipad ❤

[@katherinasilverful]

Thank you for sharing and all the links 🫶🏼 And I love LOVE the first blue horse from memory, he feels so dynamic I love it

[@KimiPetri]

Kristen, you started my day out on a positive note, thank you and beautiful work-as ALWAYS 😊

[@MaisySpurt]

It’s awesome how well you credit the people you draw inspiration from!!

[@mara_verse]

your work inspires me so much, they are absolutely stunning!

[@angelcamilomo]

I loved this video so much. This is literally what I needed. TY for sharing ❤ what an amazing journey ✨

[@user-qy3uu3ky2o]

I love the exploration in your work! True proccess really makes mr envolved! Thank you!

[@sketchbookscheming]

I love all the variety you included in your sketchbook. I feel inspired to do some figure drawing. I love the pages where you mixed up different subjects, like the woman with the pears.

[@cbdlce2876]

Another amazing video! I really enjoy your voice and i could listen to you for hours. I just woke up and watching your video really motivated me to make art, so I grabbed my comic assignment due for next week and worked while listening to you. It also give me so many ideas for my sketchbook so thanks! I hope you are having a lovely day, here in France it feels like spring and it warms my heart

[@emanuellepaulson2867]

Always feel so motivated to get my sketchbook out when I watch your videos! This was fab!!

[@Onyx_Dragons14]

The blue horses are weirdly life-like, it just feels like they have so much personality :D

[@daisybuggie]

I loved watching this video so much! I love the simple but complex style that you have, and gotta love that line work!! You really showed all the love in this video with your sketchbook. I can't wait to see all of the amazing creations you make next!

[@bernicewong9019]

I really enjoyed this sketchbook tour and all the loose paintings and scribbles that you had! This is so inspiring and your voice is very soothing also 💓💓

[@heathersmith8549]

Enjoyed your sketchbook flip through. Just a hopefully helpful hint 😊 when working in a sketchbook or art journal, matte acrylic paints doesn’t stick to itself. Glossy or semi-gloss finish does.

[@littletinyegg]

Great tip, thank you!

[@papaglenford]

i enjoyed this lots. when i was filling lots of books it was the 90s and i wished i could watch other people work or see more work. that is the best thing about youtube. when the movie Crumb came out I realized how satisfying it was to watch someone draw on film, bc that was so rare then

[@Spgg336]

This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing!! I definitely feel inspired ❤🎉

[@klace803]

I love your art and you seem like a really cool, eclectic person. I’ve been feeling a bit down but watching this cheered me up and made me feel inspired. Thank you! :)

[@hydronicrocker]

Thankyou for sharing your sketchbook with us. I watched a couple of your other videos (thanks to the youtube algorithm) before I ended up on this one. I admire your willingness to share, which is inspiring to me, and likely many others

Just discover your channel and im in love, you make me wanna try full my forgotten sketchbook without thinking about making everything perfect, love your style path!

[@StephtacularPlays]

Love a Sophie McPike shoutout ❤ Also love this sketchbook tour

[@ilnoediavolon]

I love the idea of drawing your favorite photos, and especially drawing your pets 😢

[@niamhfoa3291]

Thank you! I loved every page. They are all so different and creative. This is very inspiring :)

[@elletuppen4844]

Just LOVE your style and imagination…so out of the box❤❤❤

[@LittleOwlLoves]

Love the landscape pages, also your animals are so characterful 😍

[@mythandmilagro]

Loooved all the fish sketches! I think I need to start drawing more fish. Also love that you make lists of things you love to draw because I do the same thing! 😊

[@ChantelleArts]

I have the square version of that sketchbook, couldn't get my hands on any of the cute pastel colours unfortunately but they're all so nice! every page of your sketchbook is incredible, I love that you've used so many different subjects, mediums and styles, it's inspirational 😍

[@DuisterDraakje]

I'm not sure why yet but this has been the most relaxing sketchbook tour I have watched in a while, thank you! btw your horses are beautiful!

[@lisagiuliani8167]

I just love your art- its so varied, colorful and fun! Thank you for sharing- i especially love the water color figure drawings!

[@littletinyegg]

[@gabihuber6181]

Wow! I love every single drawing/painting. ❤❤❤❤

[@khadijak5464]

I love your blue horses painted without references

[@olindaCali]

found this video randomly, and it really inspired me to get back into art! :)

[@dezs-diary]

I loooove your sketchbooks! So inspiring 😍♥️

[@lindapaperwords4661]

I loved your flip through. Thank you so much 😊

[@Polly-Jean]

6:55 "I painted this while skiing" I imagined someone doing a painting while literally skiing down a mountain and was double impressed because I can neither paint nor ski and you could both at the same time! Then it dawned on me I could have misunderstood 😅

[@maalaus]

Yay I’ve been waiting for this!!

[@sapphicvampire8504]

Honestly this year I want to embrace drawing more fan art:DDD. I get so worried that I don’t capture the coolness of the characters I like or they have hard time drawing them but I want to make more silly artworks and au’s! While I also maintain my original art💕

[@Simon-hx3on]

Your work is really inspiring. Thanks for sharing your art

[@deelliia8794]

so very beautiful and inspiring! thank you for sharing

[@andrewruegsegger7754]

gosh, you are a true artist. ❤️

[@Ela77399]

This horses are Art! So wonderfull, genius!

[@KetchupCanvas]

This is so good!! I love the horse drawn from memory honestly it's a vibe ✨ I've been in my black pen era too tbh I'm obsessed with my Tombow Fudenosuke pen (both soft and hard tip) and the Zebra Z Grip ballpoint pens ❤

[@Reesispiecis]

I love the snake with the mushrooms at the beginning. I only have one small tattoo but that would make an awesome one. Your sketchbook is incredible, a solid style!!

[@aihaibara1699]

24:39 My fav pages , obsessed with everything you draw ❤️❤️

[@anahiramirez9086]

i love the first blue horse idc what you say

[@angeldivine408]

Your sketchbook looks awesome!

[@jpranski]

thank you for another amazing video. I love that my sketchbook is my safe place to get things out of my head,

[@alexiswilliams3233]

Love your art such a lovely sketchbook

[@charlottalou]

absolutely incredible work, so lovely to look at!! the bright red book is such a fun preview to the whimsy inside

[@charlottalou]

self portraits are so challenging and for what!! i always make my face a little too wide 💀

[@whitneymason406]

This was really fun. I love the blue horses. Reminds me of "The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse" by Eric Carle. Hope you have a good rest of your week!💞

[@user-or1jx1fy2x]

Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed the tour❤

[@garancem7303]

this is so interesting to watch ! thanks for sharing, can't wait for the next video

[@Bupmlem]

I AM a big fan of the first blue horse!

[@LaScarlatte]

Gorgeous sketchbook!

[@diane.562]

just discovered your channel, i loveee your style and the colors you use it's so beautiful!!

[@littletinyegg]

Welcome!!

[@jordanalice___]

Love the video. I also love bringing watercolours to figure drawing. Every year for Halloween the figure drawing class I'm involved with has a beautiful lady who brings her REAL snakes in 😻😻😻 she always let's me hold them during the break.

[@littletinyegg]

What!! That’s incredible haha

[@jordanalice___]

right! I am now very comfortable holding snakes. The first year I think I didn't breathe, not out of fear but just not wanting to disturb the dear thing haha@@littletinyegg

[@Tanya.Tsarkova]

Adooooore your flowers and looove your color choices. Your sketchbook inspired the sh outta meeee 🤩🤪🤪🤪 I mean in a very good way 😆😆 You create very very pretty things ❤

[@girlbehindthereddoor]

i love the lavender and blue combo at 22:09, also you've inspired me to try life drawing :)

[@curbsidetreasur]

last year i found those royal talens sketchbooks (i am living in madrid right now) i have one in that size and a bigger one. they are surprisingly super affordable and the paper is sturdy. i am enjoying seeing the progression in your work!

[@stairsonjupiter6301]

Love the blue horses!!

[@qwerpoiu123412]

You inspired me to sketch more in my sketch book!

[@Goodsocks12]

Please!!!! The blue horses are so cute

[@vandezandeb]

i love the fish!!

[@abbieromano622]

If you ever want to watch a weird mediocre movie involving a blue horse, I would recommend Camille from 2008. The trailer gives too much away so I would recommend just watching the movie with no other info for a strange time. Anyways, love your work!
