Bravo for those deeply felt portraits of your mom. A beautiful tribute. And the nature studies are all so inspiring.
I'm probably not the only one who cried
Don't bet on it.
My eyes leaking too😢
If you made it to the end of the video I don't know how you couldn't.
Universe Artist nope, i am still crying :'(
No definitely not
Not that long ago taking pictures of deceased family members was very normal and probably therapeutic for those left. I find this a far more intimate and beautiful tribute; especially since she gave you your love for art. A very fitting and beautiful final tribute. Bless you for sharing.
There is hope still on youtube
Lol him and proko are really the only ones on RUclips i trust to watch for art advice they are amazing! Some others dont really give the best advice
@@keiraazzopardi6298 I would suggest considering adding Adam Duff to that list! His advice is always good for anyone's mental health.

Absolutely beautiful. It was very touching to see those beautiful images of your mom and granddaughter. I’d love to reach your level one day
Aaron S thank you
I looked up this due to your interview with Stan Prokopinko at the Zoo in Calif. I'm so glad that I did. I love your honest enthusiasm for both art and life. Your sketches touched me.
Cool video. Thanks. I sketched my mom on her deathbed too - 93years. And she was the source of my creativity...
I just found my favorite RUclipsr.
Thank you !
I want to thank you for this video. My 9 year old hates writing because it’s not very easy for her due to a language disorder. However she loves art and wants to work for Disney. She got a ton of art supplies and sketchbooks for Christmas and has started putting writing with her drawings today. Hopefully she continues
How's she doing today?
I found this vid to be so moving and as an artist I never looked at my sketchbooks in this way, thanks for this gift.
The last sketches really made me tear up.
as a person that aspires to be an animator, this video is showing me a way of living that i've always found very healthy. Time consuming on one hand, but therapeutic on the other hand. To be able to grasp a moment with your eyes and your mind, is literally like entering a whole other world... like meditating in action
Unreal. Wow. You are an amazing artist. Thanks for sharing.You call them simple doodles. I call them amazing art work. Thanks.
I sketched my mom too a few days before she passed away while in hospice...I wish I had done more! You are so right about it being apart of who you are and your life!
aaron is the dad i never had i appreciate you making these
U r such a nice person.... and a son. May Allah show u right path and success here and hereafter. U r painting r amazing like u 👍
Thank you very much
Part of the healing process is being able to talk about it. So sketching down those ideas and thoughts can also be a profoundly powerful way of coping with the loss of a loved one. Thank you for this lesson and for sharing.
RUclips needs a button so I can like the video 10,000 times. And I might have shed a few tears... Very emotional.
Thank you!
A beautiful tribute. You inspire me to draw. I will you much happiness in this life. You are truly a beautiful soul.
Watching this again a few years later and still inspiring 🙏🏻
Thank u for sharing Aaron. Made me cry, made me think of my Mom. I'll look for that portable water colour set.
JohnyFive ; Shorts do you think they still make them after 20 years 🤔
@aldvlogs i think i found it here =) www.amazon.com/dp/B000N9B3WM/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_awdo_t2_57y4zb2KYRDBF
i didn't expect i'd cry before watching this video
thank you Aaron!
These sketches of your mother made me cry and emotional like a baby, I know that she really was the most beautiful person around your family. These sketches really depict her beautiful soul and even I can imagine sitting there with her because of your beautiful drawings. Thank you for sharing, you're a true artist. May her soul rest in peace
the drawings of your mum are so moving, I am crying right now, you are such a great artist
I'm new to painting. Took a watercolor class 3 months ago and I was hooked. Retired from teaching last June so I have a lot of time to put to my new "hobby". This video on sketchbooks opened up a new avenue for me to better my work. Thank you. I also wanted to thank you for sharing the story with your mother. It was meaningful to me for many reasons. Barbara
I live in Bogotá and i like your channel.
You such a good and honest man. Keep it up brother.
Oh man really started tearing up when you showed those drawings near the end. So powerful and soulful. Thank you for sharing those drawings. Fantastic
I’m crying. Seriously. Thank you for sharing those personal moments.
Touched me a lot , seldom seen an artist video that inspired me soo much...Thank you , last year was in Estonia, the same time arrived there when your mother passed away ,I just began new Life there and started finally to try to make from art a living...not yet arrived there, I am far away from your abilities, videos as yours are lighthouses on the way to fullfill life mission !!! Go ahead, my friend !!!
I am 71 and art has become my solace and joy. I have watched you in multiple media for a couple of years, learning something in every video. Today you made me cry. Thank you for sharing your experience of drawing your mother's passage from this world to the next. The drawings are raw, emotional and tender. The strength of vulnerability was there and precious.
Drawing is a good outlet for pain. I drew the most in highschool after my Nana passed away. I recently picked it up again and your art really inspires me. I love the animals.
Aaron, I discovered your channel about two years ago, and watching your videos continues to be a favorite pastime of mine. Yes, you are a great teacher and you inspire me to draw every day, but on top of that, you offer an emotional insight that is rarely found, not just on RUclips, but in life. I thank your mother for creating such an awesome person, and I thank you for sharing such a personal experience. Again, thank you.
Chonny Vision Thank you. You made my day.
Glad to hear :) I should also add that you've made me want to start watercoloring just so I'd have an excuse to buy one of those awesome travel watercolor kits!
I agree, I had no idea water colours could be so wonderful. Such awesome talent.
Beautiful that sketching your mum at the end of her life gave you respite from feeling trauma - So very personal and such a gift
I’ve never been more moved by art. Thank you for sharing such personal sketches.
You are so unbelievablely talented. Never stop drawing. Your amazing!
Wow I really love that watercolor set! So smart and efficient! Also, it's very nice to see these paintings. Thank you for sharing something personal like that sir. 😀
The drawings of your mom brought back memories of my mom who passed in 2009. We visited her as often as they would allow us and I wanted to be there when she passed, but she went during the night. She looked so much like your drawings. Oxygen feed, mouth open. The drawings weren't morbid to me. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Sir, thank you for sharing, not only your AMAZING sketches but your feelings and your sad moments in life. I went through a divorce, then lost my father recently, and my best friend passed away young. I'm going through depression, and I'm having a hard time sketching and drawing again. I guess you inspired me to go and pour my emotions into my sketchbooks.
I didn't expect to cry at the end of this video!
it is nice to see Aaron's preserved memories in his sketchbooks, thank you for pointing out the importance of using sketchbooks.
Thanks for sharing. It's so inspiring to see your sketchbooks. I love keeping sketchbooks as well.
Your an amazing and inspiring person as well as a brilliant artist, I lost my mum 13 years ago and just lost my father in-law on Saturday, you have inspired me to pick back up something I should have never stopped doing, Keep up the great content and thanks for baring a part of your heart and soul with us. Your new subby from down under Perth
Ojalá estés mejor y logres estar en paz contigo mismo que hay que disfrutar este mundo mientras se pueda.
I become emotional again. It's really inspirational journey. Thanks a lot for sharing.
'You are not just drawing pictures, you are putting yourself there...' Well put. The artist always draws him- or herself, as it was expressed in earlier centuries.
The sketches of your mom were extremely touching. I come back to this video every once in a while to hear the story you tell and the emotion you show. The part about only being able to see the shape and form of her after she taught you how to see it is so beautiful. As an artist and as a guy who loves his mom, thank you for this video.
That was amazing ,the Aaron's sketches are Better than my finalized drawings.
Man I'm at the end of the video and crying like a baby, thanks for sharing.
beautiful sketchbooks. you're super right about how powerful they are with reminding us good and bad moments. thank you for sharing!
Hey Aaron. First, I'm deeply sorry that your Mom passed.
Your sketches of your Mom hit hard. For a few reasons. My Mom passed in July of this year. As odd as this sounds, your Mom looks like my Mom. Seeing your sketches of your Mom, they look like sketches of my Mom. And my Mom also gave me my artistic talents. The difference is that I did not get to sketch my Mom. And I feel like I've missed something with my art. I feel like I'm losing my passion for it. I've been sitting here all day trying to get started on drawing something, anything. And I can't. I'm stuck. I miss my Mom. :(
Matt Rosiere Hey Friend sorry for the loss of your Mom mine passed away 6 years ago also in July I miss her more than anything she too was very artistic and passed it on to us kids however after college I kinda let mine go dormant you know how the so called real world always ruins everything so I never did anything with art until after Mom left us it was 6 months later when I decided to take a class on a whim it was a painting class that started with a basic charcoal drawing I had never worked with charcoal before we did a few practice things just to get a feel for under drawings and that was it I never gave it another thought several days later I got out a piece of paper with the intention of just doodling around with the charcoal however that's not what happened a magnum opus of artwork emerged from that piece of charcoal only the second time I had ever used it this magnificent portrait of my Mother came as if by magic I still can't believe that I drew that it sits in a place so I see it every day to remind me not to suppress art even if I'm at my job I stop to doodle when the Art calls to me. so my Friend just relax It should return to you Its also grieving for your Mom.
Thank you for the kind words. And what an inspiring story. I feel as though, your Mom is speaking through you with the portrait you created of your Mother. At times, I feel like my Mom is guiding my hand. I have improved immensely since July with my art, but I still struggle to keep it going.
That was incredibly powerful. And it not only inspires me to continue making art, but it inspires me to do it for reasons that I never really have before. Thank you for sharing that.
Found this in 2020. Clicking on amazon to order my new gray toned sketchbook four seconds from now. Thank you for this.
AmberAkArt let me know if you find the portable watercolor kit
The pictures of your mother and your heartfelt words made me cry. Thanks for sharing this Aaron
Thank you for sharing this.
so much historical memories! I think, such sketch books much better resurrects life images in memory... this is the best thing for artist to have such things
Amazing, you are a super talent artist, I am very impressive watching this 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
In the last few moment i had goosebumps , you proved why artist are the second creators after god 🙏🙏
Beautiful Aaron...thank you for sharing!!!
So talented and humble.... Your details in your sketches are simply mind blowing.
This has been my most favourite video I have ever seen you do Aaron,it is so beautiful,so touching and more inspiring than I can express. Thank you for this,I really appreciate it.
Aaron, this was the best video I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing those 15 years with us!
Hi Aaron! I wanted to leave a comment and say thanks for this beautiful video. I've watched it probably four or five times now, and your sketches are absolutely phenomenal. It leaves me feeling really encouraged, and I love to hear all the stories, advice, and memories you share. Thank you for being so authentic and for the pieces of your story that you share. I'm actually going to study animation and vfx this next school year, and discovering your channel has been a huge blessing. Thanks for the hard work you do, the content you upload, and the lovely outlook on life that you bring! Cheers!
Aaron, thank you so much. You have really inspired me so much as an artist and in general for so many years and especially since discovering your channel, you have truly taught me so much and I’m so grateful that you’re doing this. Thank you also for sharing something so personal, as it really struck a chord.
Beautiful work as always
I keep coming back to this video. You’ve inspired me and shown me the importance of keeping a visual journal. I can identify deeply with what you mean by recording perfect pockets of memories with each sketch.. no matter how detailed or painterly they are. Sketch-booking is a love that will never be lost.
I can watch your videos for hours-your art is absolutely amazing. I’m so glad i found your channel and you are now one of the artists I look up to and admire. :)
This is the best video I've seen on youtube
Stephen Fischer Thank you.
Bruh, your sketches are incredible. Absolute masterpieces. I hope I’ll be able to draw like you some day.
Big respect! And beautiful drawings and very touching story about your mother. It actually brought tears to my eyes
thank you for sharing all these with us Aaron! I feel grateful for this journey!
Thank you so much for sharing something so personal with us all. I always enjoy watching your videos, because you're such a authentic and calm person. It always cheers me up, but this was something very special.
Stunningly beautiful and inspiring. The sketches of you mother touched me deeply - what a beautiful and meaningful way to say farewell.
That´s right... "put some beauty back into the world"... loved that quote and for sure it needs it! You are so inspiring and you made me cry with your amazing art and your words. Thank you for sharing something so personal... you can´t imagine how important are this kind of videos you make for people like me that sometimes needs some motivation to follow their dreams. I love your youtube channel!!
Thank you so much for sharing this Aaron. It's incredibly difficult for me to share my sketchbook with others, but seeing you do so in such a heartfelt way really puts things into perspective.
Beautiful and wise words. I'm inspired so much by your art, your incredibly beautiful capture of your mother in such a sacred time, and your message around putting beauty back into the world - this is my main reason to do art and one of the things thar keeps me alive and purposeful in these times. Thank you for sharing so eloquently
These are so great, Aaron. Love your work, man!
Aaron, thank you for this awesome video and a beautiful tribute to your mom.
This is so inspiring. Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing your more intimate moments through your sketchbooks.
Props to you for having the composure to talk about your mom and granddaughter in a very touching and profound way. I am slowly getting back to drawing and this is inspiring. Thank you, Aaron!
I’m am so taken back by this video. I am an artist just starting to make more sketch books and to hear the same emotions from you as I have had was so enlightening to me. It turns out it’s a good thing. Thank you my fellow artist.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful emotional thoughts with us Aaron, together with these amazing sketches.
thank you so much for sharing your special moments and drawings, I also drew my dad when he was at the hospital when he was ill.. i honestly understand what you felt
This was so inspiring- thanks so much for sharing your drawings, experiences, and emotions. The artwork of your mother almost made me tear up a bit. Very powerful drawings.
The last drawings of your mom were heartfelt and really made me not take for granted my mom that is still here today. We've never got along and always tolerated each other but these drawings stirred up some emotions in me to say that even though we are very different there is no time to be angry with each other.
Ok, this brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing your personal thoughts and stories, and thanks for all the great lessons you continue to provide. You´re a huge inspiration indeed. I appreciate you, man.
Aaron, thank you very much for sharing your technical and emotional sketches. They are so inspiring.
Oh my, thank you so much for sharing these experiences, amazing, beautiful and so heart touching, you and your art are a real gift to this world, thank you for letting us see and feel all this.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's amazing to see how much the artwork means to you. Keep up the great work! A lot of inspiration comes from your channel
Appreciate your openness to share these memories with us.
My regards to the loss of your mother...your art is absolutely amazing...The section of your mother brought me near tears, as my mother is aging and the closest person in this world to me. Saying that, she has never been happier now that i am focussing on my art amd passion beyond the world of tattoos. Like you said several times. The therapeutic effect it has on me is nothing less than Gods gift and way of giving me a tool to heal and comfort self through lifes trials and tribulations. Ive recently started watching your videos and each one inspires me to push forward....God bless you and yours ..
Thank you for sharing these - and for the inspiration to do more sketching! :)
Serious props for sharing these moment, Aaron. Your work often inspires me on a technical level; this one inspired me on a spiritual level as well. Stay awesome!
Hi Aaron I've been a subscriber for only a short time. I came across this video today and I can't tell you how much it spoke to me. Ive hardly drawn or sketched in over 20 years as I locked that emotional side of me away and expressed my creativity in other mediums. Watching you share your sketch books moved me in a powerful way. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you so much for all your hard work Aaron! Amazing work and talent!
That was Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your art with us!
Thank you Aaron! I am an artist as well. This has really hit me. The sketches of your mom are real. I love that you are transparent. I’ve been struggling with what am I drawing and painting for. I do know I won’t ever give it up, but I need that fire inside to come alive.
Thanks for the encouragement to sketch!
Thank you Aaron for inspiring me so much.. As an artist and an human being (i could feel your loss true mine, i was the last person with my mother before she passed away too).
I almost forgot i am a creative being, and just now I am going back to doing what I most love.
Thank you for all.
It's so emotional Aaron, stories of your sketchbooks are emotionals ! All the travels you did, each sketch got a specific story, the watercolour sketchbook is very lovely... I wish I could gave feelings like this to people who look at my sketchbooks one day... all the work you did in your life is very respectable and incredible
Thank you so much, Aaron, for sharing your sketchbooks. Especially, the ones with your mom. She must have been so proud of you and loved you so much. It is an honor to share in your journey through this life, as much as an artist!
You made so much sense out of how I feel when I sketch. Thank you for sharing.
This was so inspiring. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the beautiful memories and sharing this part of yourself.
