Sketchbook Tour | Strathmore Mixed Media | Animals and Landscapes

[@RadishTheFool]

Thank you very much for sharing your entire sketchbook. Both halves were super interesting and helpful and motivating, but for different reasons. ☘️

[@helenkosmicki3283]

LOVE the watercolor with colored pencil on top

[@monkeymintaka]

It’s a nice easy style :)

[@pugsaregreats]

@@monkeymintaka can I ask what watercolours and pencil brands you used on the animal pages at the front of the sketchbook? (hedgehogs, alligators, ect) I live the way they look!

[@ОксанаС-я2р]

Wow! Masterpiece!

[@PaperTigress]

Really cool. I love how expressive your art is and how it flows so beautifuly between styles. ❤

[@monkeymintaka]

Thanks so much Joana :)

[@cubiiful]

😍 your landscapes so much! And I’m loving the colour combo you used for the Instagram doodles, plus the composition in those turned out super cool 👌🏼

[@monkeymintaka]

Thanks Mina! I’m thinking about using those colours as my new branding, I need to have a play with them though!

[@KatieCannonDesigns]

sketchbook tours are so much fun

[@monkeymintaka]

Glad you liked it Katie :)

[@KatieMoody]

Such a gorgeous sketchbook April, so many fun animals and so much character and colour! I loved the walkthrough at the beginning showing all the sketchbooks you use. I have a few on the go but there's no order to them, I just pick the size I want to work in! I love the ringbound one you showed with the black ink work in too.

[@monkeymintaka]

Thanks Katie! I am waiting for my Jackson’s art order to arrive as I have now run out of sketchbooks (or everyone has its own purpose) I may even have to draw on loose paper. The horror!

[@HarmonyHardin]

Love looking at your sketch books. You have such a carefree and colorful style.

[@monkeymintaka]

Glad you enjoyed the video Harmony :)

[@ellyettepaige]

I always enjoy seeing your sketchbook tours. 😊 They put a smile on me face. And I also find your voice to be quite soothing. Your artwork in this sketchbook is incredibly fantastical, as always! Amazing video m'dear! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. ✨🎄🎅🎊🎆 Loads of love n' such. xxx

[@monkeymintaka]

Ahh thank you for you kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

[@ellyettepaige]

@@monkeymintaka Anytime lovey! 😊

[@janesmith1917]

Very organized you can tell that by the way her books are. I find it to tedious to do stuff like this, that's probably why I'm so disorganized in my life right now I mean everything is practically chaotic. I wish I had half your talents and patience. Bless you sweety 💕

[@monkeymintaka]

Thanks so much Jane. Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@KallerhultCreations]

Happy New Year! 🎉🥳🥂

[@monkeymintaka]

You too 😁

[@esmedarkangel8180]

Happy new year April I love your videos 😃

[@monkeymintaka]

That’s great to hear! Happy new year to you as well 😊

[@ImaniTolliver]

Love your art!

[@monkeymintaka]

thanks so much!

[@dancingmangoes]

ooo cool

[@jenniferchen5351]

Oh! I have a telon's art creations sketchbook - I bought it on a whim in a random art shop and I love it but I only use coloured pencil sketches in it. I have never heard of anyone talk about these sketchbooks before :)

[@monkeymintaka]

That’s strange! I thought they were popular. I love them too!

[@TealKorby]

The hopper houses are my fav ☺️

[@monkeymintaka]

I like those too! His houses aren’t very well known, but I find them very calming

[@ItsLizV]

Happy new year! It was pretty cool to see some of the stuff you've done on stream and remembering the stream itself!

[@monkeymintaka]

You too Liz :)

[@fuzzydragons]

i'm the same, have A LOT of sketchbooks going at one time, takes forever to finish one

[@monkeymintaka]

I like the variety though :)

[@fuzzydragons]

same, means you can work with different mediums

[@CiroDesignStudio]

Happy new year April 🎉

[@monkeymintaka]

You too 😊

[@LucyLocksArt]

So many sketchbooks! I have also started many, however they usually get left as I seem to only manage to focus on one at a time hahah. also, those snowy mountains are amazing. My mum had a little snow today near the lakes, so hopfully you have some snow covered hills to reference!

[@monkeymintaka]

Sometimes I forget I started a sketchbook and don’t finish it for months later, but I’ve always finished them :) I just love them! It’s a little snowy here on the far mountains too

[@LucyLocksArt]

@@monkeymintaka better than me 😂 I must dig all my started sketchbooks out and line them up ready to be finished!

[@gtoxot1099]

WOW! Awesome sketchbook! Very inspiring

[@monkeymintaka]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@SwanCreates]

🎊HAPPY NEW YEAR APRIL🎊 This was lovely to watch, I especially love the page with the bees on flowers

[@monkeymintaka]

Happy new year too you as well :)

[@carlosbarahona1171]

Have you had the thought of making tattoos?

[@monkeymintaka]

I have not. It doesn’t really interest me. But my sister is a tattoo artist, so we do have one in the family :)
