Sketchbook Tour March-June 2017 ~

[@questionmarks9336]

Your art is so beautiful and colorful!! I love it!!!

[@LeighEllexson]

Thank you so much!! I've been super colorful lately and loving it 🌈

[@IAMAbigailll]

I love the fact that your style is so strong and you have a favourite colour palette. I completely get the working fast idea- helps so much. So inspired!

[@Imvicxo]

Wtf she says "this are some random doodles they're not that good" and I'm here like whaaat are you talking about? Everything looks awesome. I wish I had your skills 😭😭 nice video and paintings 😍👍🏼👌🏼❤️

[@LeighEllexson]

Hahah thank you! Everyone is hardest on themselves 🐙 hehe

[@Minniemerrls]

I really love your infographics that pop up during your videos. They are so cute and funny, the really add to your unique and well made art videos. Love your art by the way!

[@LeighEllexson]

I'm glad you like them, they're probably my favorite part of my videos 😺 Thank you!!

[@allthestuffwelove]

You, your pets and your sketches are a delight!

[@panicpng6897]

i feel like literally every page in your sketchbook could be pieces that could be sold as prints, even the lil doodles!! its all so beautiful w such a cool style man i adore ur work

[@LeighEllexson]

Thank you so much 🐰💖

[@catherinelevison3310]

You flipped quickly past a perfect self portrait of yourself. I agree regarding the Canson XL sketchbooks!! Don’t work for me on any level. I watercolor, so I need special paper. I pencil sketch, so I need different special paper. I dabble in Copic markers, so I need even more special paper. Thank you!! I love your sketchbook tours.

[@gabby2984]

i dare u too make a art with Boys instead of girls, Dogs instead of Cats, and Herbs instead of flowers HUEHUE

[@LeighEllexson]

All three at the same time 😼

[@gabby2984]

Yess! It would look so pretty

[@willie-maemckinzy1800]

u r so funny and not boring , i love the side notes you added , so silly, ive literally started watching you vids today and ive been watching for hours.very inspiring .

[@ravenanna]

You go trough sketchbooks so fast i am jelaous. I take a lot of time in my sketchbook,i just can't get over blank spaces and i want everything to be good. But you did a good job i love it :) It's awesome EDIT: i loved kimi no na wa -watched it as soon as it came out and it was awesome honestly such a good story. Amazing and inspiring.

[@LeighEllexson]

Haha, no need to be jealous! I've tried to train myself to think of my sketchbook as... drawings that don't matter as much. Especially cheap sketchbooks, you can always cover up or tear out pages. I saw it right when it came out too!! Soooooo gooooooodddd!!!🌸💫

[@wendyvargas692]

Amazing talent! the way you see things and the ability of putting them on paper is awesome. Thanks for sharing 💜

[@vanessarottencandy6467]

Your sketchbooks are the opposite of boring 😊🖤

[@sunnyleigh4107]

I have to say, about halfway of watching this video I was complaining about how much I hated the canson mix media sketchbook because of how awful the watercolors look on them (also its just way too large for me. Not portable in the slightest). And then you said the exact same thing! Glad I'm not the only one.

[@LeighEllexson]

SAME! You're the only person I know that agrees with me. I switched to a Strathmore mixed media sketchbook, which I am liking much better for watercolors. Though it is more expensive 🐳

[@Spidercandy957]

Not only is your artwork amazing but your commentary is really fun to listen to! Love your videos!

[@LeighEllexson]

Aw thank you 🌸 haha I am glad you enjoy my commentary.

[@RadishTheFool]

This is a wonderful sketchbook tour. I love the colours, the styles, and of course your commentary. Thank you very much.

[@aliciatang9075]

your sketchbook is so beautiful and AESTHETIC, and i especially love the soft colour scheme

[@LeighEllexson]

Thank you so much 🌸

[@autumelizabeth1494]

I love the dog especially the little tongue it’s so adorable 💕

[@happyhealer2684]

in love with the shiba at the end omg

[@deannacecilia4817]

This is the most inspiring sketchbook tour I've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing, I can't wait to try some of your techniques with my own sketchbooks!

[@Luvanatural]

i just came across this video and your art and can I tell you I love it. The loose and softness of your art is very nice to me. Very simple video but amazing quality. I have always loved art prints but never purchased one but I will have to purchase one of your prints.

[@LeighEllexson]

Aw! I'm glad you like it, such a nice comment!! 😸

[@willowfray9938]

The blue you used is so pretty! I needs it!

[@LanaGoesArt]

The mermaid cat is such a cute idea! Lovely :)

[@meagansalzgeber]

I absolutely love all your arts! Your style is wonderful and this totally makes me want to do more sketching and fill up more sketchbooks. Thank you for being such a great inspiration!

[@NiamhAllStar21]

I love watching your sketchbook tours it makes me want to draw immediately

[@LeighEllexson]

Hehe that's awesome to hear! ✏️

[@spiralmango]

*applauds everytime you flip a page* Really loving your style! :')

[@LeighEllexson]

I'm glad you like it 😸

[@seraby7151]

lol i liked your "darker" paintings the most. it adds variety to your work.

[@convegranolamom]

Your sketchbook is inspiring! I also love pink and blue together!!!

[@millietrusttum3125]

The colour and theme of your sketch book are amazing!

[@felicityjade8247]

there's a sketchbook that's the same size and brand, but specifically for watercolor. it works really well

[@RaynaPerryArts]

Oh stop, you're not boring! I find you really entertaining! And it was funny when you didn't like one of your pieces because before you'd say that I was like, "ooh, I really like this piece! Ooh those look cool!" And then you were like, "yeah, I didn't like these at all." And I'm just like, "but... they're so pretty!" XD also, sassy mercats are the cutest.

[@LeighEllexson]

Hahah I'm glad you think so!! Just hard on myself 😇 Thank you so much!

[@nellyrojas573]

love watching your videos while i paint :) currently binge watching lol

[@Emillu]

I'm guessing Frannerd is a big inspiration for you? 😅 very nice sketchbook tour though!

[@LeighEllexson]

Frannerd is my FAVORITE!!!!!! 💖

[@straykae]

Poiizu is it because of the cats??? Lol

[@bubbly7137]

Yeah lol, something about them is so SIMILAR yet DIFFERENT asdzfxxd;

[@stracciatella]

Damn, your colors and mermaids are so freaking inspiring! Congrats on an awesome sketchbook.

[@LeighEllexson]

Thanks! 😸

[@rainawaters2265]

I really love your art but I wanna see more. like different colors, drawing figures, boys. not to be rude just giving a suggestion

[@LeighEllexson]

Planning to work on boys in my next sketchbook 💪🏼

[@yoshi8446]

Ahh I love this video i have been experimenting with watercolors and the best sketchbook i think is the best with watercolors is the mix media sketch book.

[@LeighEllexson]

That's what this sketchbook is and I didn't like it because I really layer my colors when using watercolor 😿 The paper can't really handle my 500 gallons of water I use when painting 😹 so sad

[@yoshi8446]

oh, wow i have that sketch book but I don't layer too much watercolors

[@cubicradiation3085]

I want to purchase a sketchbook soon. I do animations digital-art stuff (which aren't that good. I only had 1 drawing that was actually okay) but lately I've been getting the "traditional" art vibe. I'm glad your video popped up in my recommended today, and I found a channel with an art style I really like. I love your taste in color and your creative drawings. I followed you on Instagram as soon as I finished this video. This video made me so happy and you're so sweet! Kimi no Nawa was a great movie btw. Can't wait to see more of your videos!

[@LeighEllexson]

Aww! This is such a sweet comment! I am so happy to hear that you like my art and videos 🐙

[@cubicradiation3085]

You're welcome

[@forindet]

The pink and blue combination is definitely super cool! Very nice sketchbook too, I like how free your lines feel ^_^

[@LeighEllexson]

Thank you, it might be obvious but I have an obsession with blue and pink right now 🐷🐳

[@tbrookerart]

Your work is amazing! Those colours 😍

[@LeighEllexson]

Thank you! 💖

[@zazazo333]

Hahah thank you! 🌸

[@sojoshdunwithyoumeme]

[@LeighEllexson]

Yes yes! Keep going! Getting into a new medium is super tough but always worth it!

[@sleepydream285]

A realy good sketchbook to get is bee paper mixed media.

[@munnsan4059]

I loved the "seven days" girl

[@LeighEllexson]

[@DevinOzmon]

You never fail to inspire me Leigh 💕

[@LeighEllexson]

hehehe so glad to hear that🌸

[@SandyGaskettArt]

Loved the tour, even though this is super old now. You seem to use ink a lot, is that your go to medium? You mention watercolours heaps though, so just wondering, your art is beautiful. 🌸

[@lou-xr5rz]

your art is the definition of beauty like i cant even grasp it :'''')

[@usagiakileo]

I loved seeing your sketchbook! Super inspirational and really cute! Your cat drawings are my fav. Would you ever consider doing a flower/leaf painting tutorial? I've been practicing, it they always come out super weird.

[@LeighEllexson]

Thank you so much! That's something I could definitely do! 🌸 Great idea!

[@ifa9093]

I found this satisfying

[@itsjustdanielheehee]

I FANBOYED WHEN SHE SHOWED THE ARIANA GRANDE PAINTING I LUV IT

[@reaperluvr6984]

Ahhhh I got so happy at the Kimi no Na Wa!! What's funny is I actually saw that movie for the first time on my way out of Japan!! :D honestly it became one of if not my most favorite movie of all time bc every second of that experience in Japan meant so much to me, I was literally making my childhood dreams come true and seeing it so beautifully recreated along with that beautiful story. ugh my heart. But honestly I'm aggressively inspired to draw now. Your approach on doing more studies is funny bc I actually really admire your take on working fast and not paying too much attention to detail which is kinda what I'm trying to do. Your lines and your art is so inspiring to me ahh thank you for sharing this ;o;

[@LeighEllexson]

Ahhh yes! I saw Kimi no Na Wa a couple weeks before I left for Japan and I was like like 🙀😻✨ magicccallllllllll ooooo. I listened to the soundtrack the whole way there. When I was walking to the place I was staying, one of the shops was playing and a song from the movie. It was so special. 🌸 Love hearing that people want to draw after watching this, makes me so happy 🌝 Such a sweet comment, thank you!

[@woodlandhalls]

I'd love it if you did a video about your favourite art supplies, I'm always look for new things to try out :) xx

[@LeighEllexson]
