Surreal Art Sketchbook Tour!

[@arleebean]

Your sketchbooks are so incredibly inspiring. Ahh, your art just makes my heart sing. Thanks so much for sharing this here with us!

[@FiniteStars]

Obviously I love the art, but I also REALLY like the time you take to explain each piece, like your mindset and ideas before hand, and how they transitioned to finished pieces. Thanks!

[@myriamtillson]

Thank you!! I do get a bit of slack for talking too much in my sketchbook tours, so it's nice to know not everyone is upset at me for it, hahaha!

[@topcombedbackgoodluck4989]

You can tattoo my whole body, excellent art.

[@kur0m125]

lol!

[@adrianunderwood5573]

The first sketch, with the person inside of a glasslike person is probably one of my favorite pieces of art i've seen in a long time. Idk why but it just really captured my interest. Love it.

[@imgonnasayitnow]

i agree, the three headed figure sketch made me feel calm and nurtured :)

[@sollometari7525]

Myriam, the 3 headed creature with the baby calmed me because its like it tells a sweet story of a lost child in the woods that was encountered by a harmless alien that ends up caring for the child and it also seems it tells a moral, "Don't judge a book by its cover." I love all of your art. Every piece tells a story and it just makes me want to make a story and a movie about each one. I am 13 and going to 7th grade and your art seems to give me a better perspective of the world. I'm not a professional artist like you but we do have similarities, we both like sketching weird creatures, and you just gave me the urge to write a story about your 3 headed creature. Thank you.

[@Imawatches]

Your art scares me a bit cause its so deep but its so pretty and amazing my jaw dropped

[@cuervus_]

This might be the most interesting sketchbook tour I've seen. I love surrealism but I don't do it a lot, and your art really inspired me.

[@loganbagwell4016]

Jesus...this is the best art ive come across so far as an artist on youtube that I actually really like and have similar art styles to. You are GOOOOAAALLSSSS.

[@lonironi3754]

Yes!! Your mind is beautiful, never waste time getting these on canvas.

[@camilabarranco5435]

OMG! Your artwork is so good that all your sketches look like finished pieces!! You should make an artbook =)) I find your art so insteresting and inspiring. I definitely don't understand whats going on in your head, but keep it up because it's amazing ahahaha Love your channel

[@myriamtillson]

Hahaha, thanks! I don't know what goes on in my head half the time either, to be honest XD

[@thepochade5992]

Clear resin would be a good option for the dome around the head of the sculpture you were discussing 😉 casting the body/ skull first and then encasing it in the resin 👍

[@Wolfgirl2412]

April Marie Art facts just do the i think its called the pour and tilt method in a mold were you just pour in the resin and roll it around the mold completely covering it then just build up the layers

[@thepochade5992]

Queen_wavey24 .. I have no doubt that there are a plethora of ways to do it 😉

[@myriamtillson]

Yes,Clear resin would indeed be cool! Unfortunately it would require a more complex moulding and casting process, as it would need the part to be cast in resin to be moulded separately from the rest of the piece. I was thinking more of using silicone, as it would also have a cloudier finish, and a more organic look, especially if I used some pigment in there. Resin can be beautifully clear, and that could be super cool also though. :)

[@myriamtillson]

That requires a fast setting resin, which is rare with clear resins unfortunately. And unless you have a rotocaster, doing it by hand can lead to uneven thicknesses. It is a good method for fast resins though, especially when you only need a thin layer of material instead of a block (which I would need as I'd want to encase the skull in there). :)

[@dorotheablankenhagen9214]

Your sketchbook is so inspiring! Your characters and creatures are so full of life!

[@cathywilson2181]

The amount of thought and emotion that goes into these is amazing. Such unique and beautiful ideas 🌸

[@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic]

Very cute, I like this book. I rarely see sketchbooks holding unity, for example in color scheme or field in which the concepts flow. The unity of the red and blue combination, with most of the pieces composed in those two colors dominantly, and even the concepts being around a small handful of concepts, namely surrealism and unsettling (kinda horror-ish, warped productions) type work gives a sketchbook that's unlike most, with most sketchbooks being wildly variable from page to page. It's nice to see an example of a sketchbook with an internal set of themes - I really would like to see more examples of this. I look forward to seeing your future works, as you grow into a more and more realized artist!

[@talkinglunchable8915]

The old man with fossils in him would be a beautiful sculpture, your art is really inspiring!

[@SolitaryShrine]

I also find the sketch of the three headed creature holding the child really comforting. The first thought I had was "oh, how sweet" because the creature seems really attentive and is holding them close and carefully. Made me feel a bit warm actually haha. Anyway, I love all your work! But that one especially!

[@goblinkid5564]

I love how twisted your art style is

[@brunamartins8522]

How did I never noticed all of these videos before? I’m so happy to see more of your work 🥰

[@pianickname8514]

I love your current art style and all of those ideas you have

[@LauraPerlitz]

"Sometimes I sketch stuff and I don't know"... hahaha, I love you x'D

[@eeleyes]

This sketchbook was remarkable. Loved every piece, from cover to cover. You’re my biggest art inspiration, I felt emotionally connected to each piece. Great job!

[@may-rn4rb]

Your style is so different from what I draw normally, but your sketchbook gave me a lot of inspiration!!

[@pyro3625]

I am on your channel for the first time . The first thought that came to my mind when i heard you is your voice is sooo soothing . Subscribed right away 😁

[@heymrwhereyouheaded]

There are so many sketches here that represent my feelings! I’d love them all glued to my walls

[@hugeharhar]

Each page made me like your work more!

[@luzia9208]

I wish my art was as original as yours. Watching these videos makes me feel so inspired!

[@pianickname8514]

That one sketch you didn't wanna talk about looks like a scene from Game of Thrones:)

[@krystalharrison5450]

I think so too!

[@AnotherMADCreation]

It totally was. It was the night King and the red woman by the looks of it.

[@yurifinch3096]

I like your sketches. My favorite was the hand coming out of the body holding an eyeball.

[@sandramelanija]

I love your art style! You really motivate me to get a real sketchbook.. as I use my bullet journal for my sketches and videos 😩

[@zombiegaby]

How? How are these all so original and beautifull. I didnt know one person could have so mush talent!

[@N1MHLING]

Really enjoyed your sketchbook tour! Your sketches and concepts are amazing. I also really loved the one that you found soothing (with the 3 heads and the small figure in the arms). Keep up the awesome work!

[@someoneslove1281]

The sketch of the two persons melted together(?) on red background looks great! Looks like a tshirt illustration

[@nonishanegi]

It's my bedtime but I saw the notif for this video and BOOM, I had to watch it!! It's like you have endless concepts, you put them on paper so well. It's just surreal.

[@gypsyalexandria9746]

i just love her voice!!!! haha am a crazy??

[@LauraPerlitz]

If you are crazy because of this - I am crazy, too! ;)

[@myriamtillson]

Hahaha, that's good to hear, I can't stand my own voice XD

[@joeblankenship377]

It's very relaxing.

[@recoveringsoul755]

It seems that since I've been watching art videos, a lot of them get comments about people liking their voices, and how relaxing and calming their voices are. Interesting. Maybe it's an artist thing?

[@iiiiii-929]

I hate your art and love those at the same time,because you are so creative and those look so good at the end.

[@thekeddi]

I just love your art and the ideas that you have. I use gouache mostly so it’s good to see how other artists use it. The red pencil and India ink ones were my favourites and the parent holding the baby.

[@twinkiestar4987]

You’re a fantastic artist. You’re going places.

[@genevieve9743]

i love love love this sketchbook! all of these concepts are wonderfully dark and eye opening

[@kelseybuttery5146]

You deserve so many more followers, honestly your work is amazing

[@Ange-or2np]

I would absolutely love to see some of these recreated in oil or acrylics

[@stinkyradish6935]

I am so glad i found your channel. Thank you for such an incredible walkthrough, it gave me so much inspiration and different ways to draw abt what i think!! I adore ur paintings and sketches because the concept has multiple layers and ways to look and think about them.

[@almio1118]

is so inspiring see your sketchbook tours! i really like your art, and concepts, isn´t conventional but is always gorgeous. i wish you the best! keep going with your incredible art!

[@diersen7260]

I really love how creative all of this looks like it's seriously inspiring. This definitely made me want to watch more and sketch more of my own work

[@loen2629]

You and I work sooo differently. I always just start with no concept except an idea in my mind and sketch it out on paper, then go in with any other medium. I never have any plans for a drawing, I just go in with any colors I think work for the piece. I also never use reference except when I draw portraits of people that need to be recognizable as a certain person. Other than that I just drae straight from my head. Sometimes I'll use a mirror for extremely difficult poses but I mostly can't stand using picture reference lol

[@maggieqiu5645]

I can see a great art piece in each one of your sketch. They are so amazing.

[@sbabs15]

I love your artwork! I’m so happy that I discovered your channel!

[@SashaFitzgerald]

Your sketches and paintings are so imaginative and wonderful 😍 I love how you painted the tiger on the front. Amazing work!

[@maddiegreen4660]

Your mind is amazing!!

[@kelyrin]

The three-head instantly made me feel calm and comfort too ! :)

[@JohnnyAzpe]

i'm absolutly in love with your style, and i think it's very very inspiring!!

[@menuchapolter511]

wow! i connected to way too many of your concepts, its crazy, your talanted.

[@beepbeepimasheep9949]

Why did i just discovered you? You're work is so amazing and inspiring and, i don't undesrtand what this means most of the time but it's beautiful and it has some feelings i couldn't describe. And your laugh ! I love it so much, it's a genuine laugh and aaaa i love this and your art and all

[@julianmelodywinx1063]

tht's are so beautiful Sketch ! i love yur art works... tht's amazing !! it's really insipering me !

[@tinoisel5162]

this sketchbook is absolutely stunning. i love all the concept, original ideas. glad to have discovered your channel.

[@juliaoh9291]

I love that sketchbook too!! I remember it being a black cover (before being brown and recycled) and low-key freaked out when I couldn't find it in stores 😂😂😂

[@RealRina90]

like the bird with a human head the most even though ive seen this idea already a lot in other artists pages fb instgram etc before. all in all i think ur art is very unique ,great work

[@myriamtillson]

Haha, that's because birds with human heads are mythological creatures called Harpies. They are a well-known creature in myths and lore. Thank you for the kind words!

[@debby0011]

you are so talented... you are an artist who can really make money with it... by lifetime

[@soym1lkg1rl]

wow, this sketchbook is truly stunning! i’ve been wanting to get back into drawing/painting for a while now and this is really inspiring me to finally get behind my desk again! :)

[@Linda-pz5se]

[@caitibabyxoxo]

[@ornagesoda1052]

Omg.......i just found you.....and I already love you I love your style I love your voice I love how creepy yet beautiful everything is ! You are amazing !

[@shahnooramer8170]

I can totally relate, I end up actually working on a few ideas out of a swarm of them 😂 but damn all of them are so great and detailed and they always convey some sort of message which is mostly very moving!

[@aivazianmara]

Thank you à lot for the opportunity to watch your amazing talent🌿 You inspire a lot just to sit and paint💙 Hope, some day, I will manage to develop my personal style and by this enjoy my life a little bit more 🌲

[@riyabobia4863]

I love the concepts and ideas you put behind your art, I have been practicing trying to think through my art more and make art with a purpose and plan more. Also your art is so unique and inspirational keep it up!!!

[@Nonorama]

Some nice ideas. Like the way you modulate your drawing line with the red pencil :)

[@vinarathakoune5228]

Really cool. I love seeing how your concepts and style evolved :)

[@mikkelnielsen7847]

I really love ur voice.. - and your way to express yourself

[@unicornist9979]

Its creepy but so cool at the same time... I love it!

[@deeveegr9587]

I think that this art is imperfectly perfect with strong and beautiful meanings the best art my eyes have ever seen ✨❤️👁

[@babydollstephi]

so so creative

[@melmanhattan]

Amazing! These sketches are inspiring and eye catching. I love your work.

[@EmilyArts]

WOW!! This is incredible!!

[@derval3674]

I love all your art it's amazing!I also love how you took the time to explain each of your amazing pieces ♡ 😘

[@eva-kp3xr]

your mind is so creative

[@myrkflinn4331]

7:05 and it got even better O.O Love that style! Got loads of inspiration from it!

[@umamifox7446]

Amazing art style! I love how surreal and conceptual the work is!

[@valaethartist]

I am so obsessed with your sketches, truly inspiring 😍❤️

[@SofieRimmer]

Myriam I am in awe! You are inspiring me so much ♥

[@bumpom432]

You’re an inspiration for me!

[@bumpom432]

Great work too.

[@myriamtillson]

Thank you very much! ^^

[@MoonacreHandmade]

I would really love to see a video of how you set up your portfolio using squarespace. I have a squarespace for my portfolio, but am struggling finding the best way to set it up or how to make it look professional as an art portfolio. I want it clean and simple

[@myriamtillson]

That isn't really the type of thing I do on my channel, sorry, but as far as advice goes, I basically just tried out all their templates and looked at other artists' websites and took note of the elements I liked and why and tried to make my own along those vibes. I love the theme I have, and actually didn't need to modify it almost at all. I'd say just look at all their free themes, or find a theme online that you like and just install it and play with it!

[@pidgon7465]

your art is fascinating

[@lizami8238]

Your art is so inspiring✨

[@whereami4149]

Your art is amazing

[@bertsygoic2164]

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing

[@peepoo245]

Thank you so much for sharing youre such an inspiration

[@recoveringsoul755]

I know this is way later than you uploaded, but this art is very interesting to me. I could really relate to those first couple of images where there is a person inside another body. Feel like i've been trying to figure out who I am forever. Like the "real me" wants to get out but is trapped

[@lexkennedy3241]

Ugh your work is so cool

[@boardtrker]

I love your art style soo so much!

[@lucidmoth1023]

Some of your art would look great in a museum.

[@xrainbowmintx]

When you turned to the three headed person with the baby, I exclaimed aloud 'that's gorgeous!!' I don't find it creepy at all, like you I find it calming =)

[@werewolf0995]

ahh so nice!! i love yr little creatures ooh

[@nurlailaadriana1477]

feel like I'm looking into beautiful bizzare magazine. I love all your concepts and its awesome :)

[@myriamtillson]

Haha, I wish....Thank you though! ^^

[@valsus6661]

[@alexpataco2626]

[@arelcrest]

I'm checking out random artists. After seeing this, you got me! :D 🦋🦄🐬

[@AnastasiaR]

Absolutely amazing, Myriam! I’m so happy for you that you have developed your style to the point that you can really express yourself with your concept execution. I feel like I’m so close to juuuust starting to do that and seeing your work evolve has really inspired me to explore what I want to express with my artwork. You are amazing and I’m so grateful to have your artwork in my life 😘

[@myriamtillson]

Thank you very much Anastasia! I'm very grateful to have net you via this online community, you are so kind and supportive, I don't know where I would be without you guys!

[@Roni.sketches]

could you do a video where you explain in depth the process of your ideas and how you blurt them out onto paper I want to start doing surrealist art but am having trouble on how exactly to start.
