The mirror self portrait is really good, you managed the capture “focused” and “looking at yourself in the mirror look” successfully haha

Lots of potential! It’s so interesting to see gen z kids coming of age, their interests and fandoms influencing their art. You have an awesome foundation for a great art career. Your upload consistency is what’s going to really set you apart.

I left this comment and forgot about it until I just saw you replied. After rereading, it sounded slightly condescending and that wasn’t my intention. I should’ve clarified, your upload consistency is what’ll set you apart on KZbin, your art is already amazing! But I’ve seen many amazing artists on this platform who have no audience because they don’t upload regularly or play the algorithm game. I can’t imagine how hard it is for self employed KZbinrs to maintain a weekly or biweekly release schedule and the fact that you do that so well at a fairly young age sets you apart-you have both the art skills and the business/organizational skills to be truly successful. And your growth mindset is also admirable.

I LOVE your sketchbooks. I like how you use paint, pen, and pencil throughout, use it for sketching from real life or taking notes, exploring OC's, and processing your life. It's really changed how I approach my own sketchbook. Happy holidays and see you next year!

One of my closest friend's dog is named Beef and honestly looks a LOT like his sketchbook counterpart... gift of prophecy??? I also draw myself doin stuff to process things / encourage myself through various experiences. This was a fantastic sketchbook tour, no wonder it took a year to fill this sketchbook, it was jam packed!

I absolutely adore your videos. I discovered your channel about a week or two ago and you helped me get through my finals! When I went to art school during my teen years I used to draw with my friends and discuss our work. Now I’m in university (and not in the art one, sadly) and I’ve realized that I really missed those drawing sessions with my friends. Sooo in the past week you basically were my drawing buddy? Your works inspire me to pursue what I love to do (I would love to become a concept artist and work in game design). Thank you so much

I've always been scared of sketchbooks and messing them up- as irrational as that sounds. 😅 But you've really inspired me to start working through that by being okay with messing up and exploring new ideas and mediums. And that sketches are okay just staying sketches. I've even started sketching again for the first time this year. Bless you and thanks again! 🧡🧡

hi! i just got a pentallic traveler sketchbook for christmas. i have been using moleskine for over a year now, and it holds up really well with watercolor and gouache, and alcohol markers, though there is bleedthrough.you mentioned you've had the brand more than once, how well does the pentallic hold up?

I don't use a ton of markers in my sketchbook, but the paper type of pentallic is basically drawing/sketch paper, so it probably will bleedthrough.
