Here with a sketchbook tour! Honestly ya girl has the hardest time making these videos. I get major brain fog when I have to record my hands and just talk, weird experience. I know ya'll love these videos though so this one is for you!!
As I said in the video there is NO ONE RIGHT WAY to use your sketchbook!! I know mine doesn't looks like the typical "loose" sketches that you might expect to see. But that's just how I use my sketchbook. Please use yours however YOU want to. This is how I like to use mine :-) PLEASE no negativity in the comments about how your sketchbook looks different. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

my bladder after Leigh says sketch/sketchbook 12 times in just the intro and there’s still 13min left: 👁👄👁
LOL I didn't know if viewers would actually take on the "take a sip of water every time I say sketch or sketchbook" YIKEs but also YES
I think my bladder is the size of a grape
Hey, here's an idea. Maybe when you reach the middle of the sketchbook you turn it around and start over. That way you have a refresh and don't have to deal with the heavy part being on the left. Just a thought, keep it up : )
yeah I never sketch from beginning to end. I always pick any random page to sketch on :)
OMG good idea!!
Actually that’s a great idea. Thank you
such an awesome idea...
The way that comment started…I was braced for aggression. But, that’s actually a great suggestion!
Lol I love the last page, "I will miss you and not miss you at all"🤣🤣
very honest last page tbh

I’m pretty sure Leigh said sketchbook more than normal just to keep us hydrated
hydration guaranteed 100%
Leigh: its okay to draw the same thing over and over again if that's your thing today
me: frogfrogfrogfrogfrogfrogfrog
Frog is love, frog is life
..........do you listen to girl in red, mayhaps?
Sameee just learned how to draw frogggssss
What's your insta I'd love to see your frogs!! My current jam is mushrooms..mushrooms everywhere 😅😅
Hydration. Bad dancing. Art. What else do you need in life?
nothing else
Drowning within the first 2 minutes with that hydration challenge
Leigh, you mentioned when you get towards the end of a sketch book you hate how the bulk is on the opposite side..Have you ever considered turning the book upside down to reset the bulk on the side you prefer it on? Just a thought
That's a good idea I've never thought about that. Thanks!
It's so refreshing to see another artist that focuses more on animals than humans. Not that I have anything against people that draw humans, I just tend to fall into a loop of forcing myself to draw things I don't enjoy when I see other people draw them. (I feel like such a failure sometimes that I can't draw people/ don't enjoy it) Seeing this video was really motivating for me! I'm going to experiment with more color :))
i love sketchbook tours because you get to see so much art at once and its so fluid and natural art.
My husband works in the printing industry so I have the random knowledge that it's called perfect binding. :) & I got into those Strathmore sketchbooks because of you. They're great!
thanks for filming this! you embody having fun with a sketchbook and it's always fun to witness. this one was especially inspiring! and it's the kind of inspiring where i'm like "ooh damn that looks like fun, i want to go have fun in my sketchbook!" instead of the usual "wow they're so good at art i need to ~practice~ more ugh" 💗💖💕 love that!!
Love this :') thank you!!!! I could cry.
I feel the same way !! I was like, OH man I need to go get out all of my supplies! I need to draw now and have fun doing it!
If that’s your art in your profile then I am thoroughly INSPIRED by you rn 🧡
You took the words out of my mouth! Looking at Leigh's works, even if it is a completely different style from mine, always leaves me insipired.
glad I played this drinking game with water or else I would've been drunk at 1PM on a friday
Honestly you would probbably get alcohol poisoning from this drinking game
Leigh! you don't need to buy expensive stuff to make the grafite not go all over the place. Back in art school a professor told us to use hair spray (ultra hold) to fix the colors for pastels and other materials like it. Obviously wont work like the professional stuff but most households have hair spray and its cheap af. Cheers from Canada :D
Hairspray is very acidic and shouldn’t be used for archival purposes but it works if it’s a quick sketch you don’t care about the longevity of
Im in europe. My cheap end extra super hold hairspray is only a little less expensive than normal setting spray.
3:25 following the sip every time Leigh says sketchbook rule and my glass is already empty
"I'm a little surprised that you would make it to the end if you don't likey" had me ROLLING
Hahahaha
After the halfway point in the sketchbook you could flip it upside down so that the thick side is always on the right
This was such a joy to watch! It's always nice to have a nosy peak inside other artists' sketchbooks - loved it!
really liked this video :) i think many people like sketchbook tours bc they give this impression of perfection without the struggle behind it, but also because it's like a little personal museum ! and as an artist myself i know i like these vids bc they give inspiration on what to draw, on composition, on colors or mediums to try out !
much love to you and your plants
completely unrelated, but you have a really nice profile picture
Your color choice is ✨ immaculate ✨
About half way through this video I realized I needed to take smaller sips if I wanted to last
this happened to me with flowers when I was a little bride's maid back in the day
that little brown chicken on the right page at 11:07 is my favorite
it's just so CUTE XD
This was such a beautiful video essay! Your insights about keeping a sketchbook are truly valuable. I recently started feeling troubled that I spend time in my sketchbook as a way to avoid taking risks and investing time in making large pieces. But your perception about keeping a sketchbook just crushed that silly thought! Thank you!
hey leigh if u don’t like the way your sketchbook lays when it gets toward the end i would suggest you flip it over and start from the back like it’s new ! i used to do that when i had the irrational fear of starting a new sketchbook, i would start it from the back and somehow that helped ? i think that might help you too !
I loved that outro more than I‘d like to admit
I just started drawing again in my sketchbook after months of not doing it and this was exactly what I needed!, Love it. Hope you're all doing well ✨
Totally the same Leigh when I get towards the end - I'm soooooo over it and I also am not a fan of sketchbook tours but I enjoyed yours - great work in it!
My ADHD going crazy while I try to listen, look at the drawings and read the little pop-up phrases hahahaha
everything about this sketchbook tour is so satisfying to watch. the colors combination is magical!
The queen of england and all royal family need to learn how to wave like you 😀🥰🥰
I really love sketchbook tours. Even going through my own sketchbooks, it feels so nostalgic. Like I get to remember so many random details from the day or time period. Makes me miss the moon at a train station when it snowed and smeared a marker stroke. The day my sister told us she was pregnant and I left a spread half finished on purpose because we got the call when I was mid-sketch.
Got my lunch, glass of water, and I'm buckled up for the tour!
i rlly admire how youre not afraid to use colours, they're so vibrant and full of life! i rlly want to learn how to make pretty and warm colours 🥰
DUDE. So fucking glad I found your channel recently. Been binging your videos and can’t get enough of your personality, art and overall aesthetic. Also gonna go pick up a sketchbook for myself now okay bye!!!
Loved it! I like seeing sketchbook tours from my favorite artists because I learn a lot from seeing their process. It's also a good reminder/inspiration source for my own sketchbook. Sometimes I get too perfectionist about mine and forget that its a judgement free zone to experiment! Thanks Leigh 💚
I cried out with joy when I saw that Nausicaa was your favorite Ghibli movie 🌿🍄🪲
me: trying to draw while watching
also me: every five seconds picking up my heavy as shit glass water bottle
I love the color combinations in your sketchbooks!
waiting patiently for Leigh's 2022 sketchbook tour *wink wink
Hey Leigh! I had the roughest week of the year so far. I cannot express how drained and disappointed I felt throughout the week and this video feels like an inspiring hug. Can't wait to be done with work to jump in my sketchbook again. Much love
I love sketchbook tours!! 💛 my reasons for loving sketchbook tours include:
Inspiring
Beautiful
Casual art
Cool book collection of art pieces
Shows new ways of creating
Just plain awesome 🤷♀️
Anyways, thanks for sharing!! 😁
LOVE IT
I loved all the chickens 🐤
Please minute in and I can't take my mouth away from the straw of my waterbottle 😭
You remind me of my mom and it makes me happy. ❤️
I Love Sketchbook tours because they give me ideas on what to do with my own sketchbook beautiful art btw
Me personally taking the sip thing as a challenge but not even being able to swallow one sip before i have to take another 😂
I loved the tour though! Your color palettes are so nice
That feeling after you finish a sketchbook is just the best
This looks awesome! I love having fun in my sketchbook too! I can’t wait to see what you do. You’re art reminds me of the sun. Warm and loving. You can really tell that you love what you do. ❤️
I love that you added in the water drinking challenge 😆
I agree about sketching sometimes being scary because not every piece is going to be finished.
LOVE IT!💗 Can you please also share the inspiration hunting part of the process? Like how you gather the photos, how you lay them around for you to draw, how exact you are, how much you imagine to it. It would help me a lot to see, and it is super interesting!🌸
Have a fun day!😊
I love those strathmore sketchbooks too! I’m left handed so it was always a preferred type of book for me :3
you have such a good eye for colour i want my room to be filled w these colours
I agree, I feel like all her spreads are very harmonious. The colors just work so well together.
Been looking forward to this all day. Did NOT disappoint
OMG THATS MY FAVORITE SKETCHBOOK TOOOO!!!! WHEN YOU SAID THAT I PAUSED THE VIDEO TO SCREAM IN AGREEMENT! LOL
I really really enjoy your sketchbook tours!!! Yours are my faves
Aww, thanks for sharing even though filming this isn't really your fave thing!
wuv u thank u
i do think it was pretty cool, yes, thank you leigh!
i personally dont do sketchbook tours publicly precisely to keep my sketchbooks free from any judgement or pressure to make it into ~content~
like making content is super fun and sharing with others fills me with joy, but sometimes the studio door gotta be firmly closed u kno? its a privilege to get to see a sketchbook tour is what im saying
Your sketchbooks are always so interesting! You take objects that I wouldn't have ever thought of and you illustrate or stylize them in a neat way.
Finally a Nausicaä fan aaaaa yay this entire sketchbook is fire
Omg this sketchbook is EVERYTHING!!!
im so glad i found ur channel
Wow ily2
A friend taught me how to bind my own sketchbooks and now I can make little 10 page books that aren't so intimidating.
Love your personality, the realness, thanks😌
Yes! My fave sketchbook too! 💖
I loved this! Great job Leigh! My favorite spread was the green dog spread!
Omg i totally get you with the stickers on the cover. I prefer it clean and simple 🌿🥰
you look like scarlet johansonn!!!!! you re beautiful and so is your work!
Love love love your color choices. 💕
Love the sketches and how sweet are you Leigh🥰
Cool sketchbook tour! Cooler dancing haha 😊
Thanks for the tour! Your colour combo choices are 😍❤👍and your drawings are beautiful! Very inspiring. x
I always feel soo inspired after watching your videos! Thank you Leigh! 💖
I've been watching your older videos all morning while designing my own stickers - you make me so inspired, thank you!! But then I see this NEW video - have to go back on YT and watch this one too ahaha!!
Really great advice and love the loose *viiiibe* v inspiring and oh wow I have drank so much water in such a short amount of time
You did greaaaat !! ✨✨ Not only a brilliant artist, you're a warrior !! Overcomming your stress 😘 and your voice over was perfect ! Answering question is a super idea ! ✨🌷✨🌷✨🌷✨ much love
I just really have to urge to say, as always Leigh love your vids and yes we love sketchbook tours, I personally get artistic concepts seeing art or other things visually, so sketchbook tours are a +. Also, love the dances and sassiness or sarcastic sound, whatever it is I just love the sass lol. And lastly, really love the tiger on the other side beside Knivesmeow's postcard, that tiger page is soooo cute, I love tigers and I love your tigers. Ok byeee😁💙✌🏼
Your art style has a such unique and pleasing vibe ! 💕
Thank you for filming this! Great advice to have supplies and references ready available for easier sketching.
Me every time I start a video from leigh:
Leigh: Get some water!
Me: has to pause video to go get my bottle and fill it. "Fine Leigh okay okay I'm getting water, fine.
And proceeds to finish half the bottle in the intro.
this was so fun to watch =D really helped me get back into drawing again. just wanna say you look like Hillary Duff and Scarlett Johansson had a baby and I am all for it
How about flipping the sketchbook upside down when it gets to the end?
ur sketchbook is awesomeee
I love it so much! I love the experimental pieces😈❤
I LOVE your art ❣️ so very unique 😍
I have my first cold of the season (boo) and put on your old videos as couch time background. Should have started with this one because I did the water challenge and it got me through my big water glass almost three times.
Thank you for reminding to drink water always 💖😍 I am healthier physically and emotionally cause of you Leigh 🥳
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been trying to get more loose with my sketchbook and more free and you’re so inspiring and do it so well! This whole book is amazing. PS I love the sketchbooks too! I have the smaller version and I’m just obsessed with the fact that they don’t bleed
I love your style, it’s so unique!
The best I have ever seen!
Thanks for the love for my three cats 🥰💖
I couldn’t sip fast enough 🥲
OH MY GOSH, I'M BEYOND EXCITED FOR THIS VID!! got my water bottle at the ready 🥰💕
So much fun and got me painting!
Hey Leigh, you are so inspiring and your videos are fun to watch!!! You’re awesome!!

I always love your sketchbooks, they exude so much fun and life and colour. But somehow I love this one super extra much. I'm not an expert at all, so I can't really pinpoint exactly why. But I totally do. 💚
