When I said I get 6,000 comments a day asking for sketchbook tours... that was an exaggeration but you get the point. I hope you like the video. I don't always love filming these honestly but it makes me happy that you guys seem to really like em. AND THAT'S the real talk.

In the words of my 8 year old daughter, "she can do whatever she wants here, it's her channel!" Thanks for sharing your sketchbook. Keep 'em coming.
LOVE THIS
Awwww!
Truly a wise little lady!
You are utterly divine.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who takes two years for a sketchbook! It was so cute seeing the Future painting you did again!! I love it soooooo much! I also get so overwhelmed trying to paint outside, like I forget what light and color is completely :( omg those black cats at the end are amazing thanks for sharing!
JacquelinDeleon I’ll always love the Future painting ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I would pay to see a Ghibli film entirely animated in your style
One already exists in a similar style.

I'll forever be in awe and puzzled by people who have all pretty pages in their sketchbooks. (You know what I mean). Mine are a bunch of scribbles and a billion faces in the same angle 😅
Eve Bolt - Art & Cats I love when the spreads link together and flow 💓
in my deffense i have the "sure, i can show you my art" sketchbook and the "no one will ever withness you existed dear sketchbook" sketchbook
Aha same
@@lolasilver95 I should probably do that lol
I do get weirded out when I paint outside. Painting en plein air is weird for me because live reference has real depth and that hurts my brain after using reference from photos.
D: but I loved the one you didn't like most, and also the loose ones with the Halloween cats in the back!! I want those as stickers so bad haha
Same! The page turned and I instantly said WOW out loud, then Leigh said it was her least favourite!
The cows at 1:23 are literally the cutest thing ever ahhh
the real question is, how does anyone NOT have a million unfinished sketchbooks lying around?? it might just be my art supply addiction talking but there’s nothing better in this whole darn plane of existence than getting a brand-new sketchbook in the mail and NO ONE can convince me otherwise😤✨
anyways, this video really helped with my art block! out of all the sketchbook tours i’ve seen, yours always motivate me the most
sera I have more unfinished sketchbook than the three I’ve been working on, but I don’t like the actual sketchbook... like the paper/binding/feel of them. I decided to only finish my strathmore ones for now! 😇✨✨✨
Fellow artist, so I totally feel you on the not loving everything in our sketchbooks, but omfg, I love every page in here 😍
*You've mentioned Strathmore mixed media sketchbooks being your favorite, several times. Recently I thought, what the heck...let's try one out..see what all the fuss is about. I NOW UNDERSTAND. ♥ (your sketchbook tour was divine, btw).*
chronicfish yo, it’s the best!!!!
chronicfish
Is it really good for mixed media? I am lookin for a sketchbook.
@@advaitsingh8074 it is
chronicfish thx!
Oml I’ve been looking for a suitable sketchbook for a while. Like, since last year. I wanna try out alcohol markers but my current sketchbook can’t hold them. And my watercolour is kinda hard to blend.
Dear Leigh. Your sketchbook tours are fun and enjoyable to watch. The commentary is just fine, don’t worry about it. I’ve watched this three times already! Thank you 😊
i watched one of your older sketchbook tours just a few days ago and you’ve improved so much!! i’m so proud of u and you’ve really inspired me ever since i was young!!
Paige this made me go and look at one of old sketchbook tour videos hahah you’re right I didn’t realize how much my work has changed 😅
oh happy day! Your videos are the best. Love the sketchbook tour and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Halloween cat scream painting.
I love your art! It makes me feel so happy and light hearted to see it ❤️. I hope one day you delve into animation b/c I feel like your style would lend itself rly well to expression and movement.
Your sketchbook is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing 💓
I think this is one of the best sketchbook tours , you go through it at the right speed which is not too slow
I personally really enjoy sketchbook tours that avoid a narrative formula. I mean, I'll still watch them, I watch every sketchbook tour that is ever suggested to me by YT. But I have a harder time focusing on the ones that just tell you what is on the page. This sketchbook tour is as much for you as it is for the audience. You have the spotlight to reflect on the techniques you used...what you hoped to work on, what you worked on instead, what you learned, what you didn't care for. Where you were when you drew certain things (physically and maybe even mentally). When you go through a sketchbook and describe your personal journey through it, I think that's what really hooks people in. it doesn't have to be super personal either! I've watched some were people tell stories of a time in their life, and some where they just crack jokes about their art. But most importantly, make these tours just as much about your experience while doing the videos
I love your mark making. And your swatches of color.
You have incredible light in your studio. I feel like that is the ideal setting , and that it complements your vibe. I would love to take that sketchbook outdoors on a beautiful day in May and just gaze at the pages . . the images are so serene.
I love the little inktober bunny! So adorable! :)
I love the red panda drawing xo💜💜 cute little otter xx I love the little nature scenes. Love your sketchbook tours. Much love
love those black cats! 💖
Your art style is literally the best one I have ever seen. The way its both realistic and not its very playful and makes me happy. Keep up the great work!
Loved the pure black and whites especially of Toadie 😍😭. I can't get enough of your style
I liked everything. I love the Halloween ones. Oh...and the outdoor uncomfortable painting....👍👍👍
Those hand twirls are exactly what I do, anytime I show anybody anything. I think I watched too much “The Price is Right” when I was little. 😂
I tend to abandon sketchbooks too. Though usually it’s because I like what’s going on in it and I don’t want to ruin it. 😂 I liked pretty much everything on there all bright and colorful.
Thanks for sharing. 😊
the corgi and the two halloween pics are probably my favourites, also the lil chub bird, reminds me of when my bird gets all short and fat when she's sleepy.
spotted3star I love when my bird gets all chubby like that too
Leigh Ellexson they’re so cute that way 😍
I absolutely love your art style
The color pallettes you pick are always so perfect 💕
The black ink with that warm marigold yellow is such a beautiful combination. Loved this video ✨
LOVE the cats on the third page, so adorable
your cat drawings = ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE
the way you handle color and texture is INSANE!! you're a huge inspiration, thank you for sharing your sketchbook and for the idea that you can make prints out of the work that comes directly of it. it's really reassuring to know that a good piece doesn't have to come from really stressing drawing session … idk if i'm explaining myself properly but holy hell. your work is gorgeous
Silvi makes total sense!!! I love how comfy I feel in my sketchbook. Even though I want to make something “good” I don’t feel as much pressure when making a loose drawing or painting. 💯
I love the colours you use, they're so harmonised
I've been feeling super burnt out lately, but seeing your work makes me want to pick up paints and get creative!! so inspiring, thank you for sharing this leigh!
Toadie is too adorableee!!!🥰
I like how you aren’t like other RUclipsrs and you don’t say mean things about your drawings. 😄❤️
Love the font of the text bits! ( and your sketchbook tour thanks for doing it!!!)
They also have a hardbound. I also love this sketchbook and have the very same one but I'm getting the hardbound next time. My cover was ruined before I ever even used it bc it's so delicate and I throw it in my bag
Your use of color honestly is what I hope to be. I feel like every pallet you make is just so beautiful and gives such a good vibe
Okay but your voiceovers are my favorite? Love this
Nailed it! Love the commentary...ALSO the black cat with the leaves/forest/foliage Inktober from this year is absolutely stunning! Your instinct for composition always blows my mind. Anyway, thank you for sharing BYEEE!!!
Just found your channel and I love your art work and the videos. It's so fun seeing different styles. I was watching this and thinking your art has a bit of a 50's-60's illustration vibe. love it!
Inspired me to draw in my own sketchbook, your art is simply gorgeous even the ones you aren't happy with are just 💕
Loved your comments / sharing your thoughts about your work! And you're so right about being proud of that donkey, he's the cutest everrrrr. 🤯🧡💛
everything in this sketchbook is so cute and pretty, made me happy :)
Love your paintings so much! thank you for sharing ❤
I’m so happy that I’m not the only artist that doesn’t finish my sketch books. It’s a sick addiction of ALL art supplies. And I think your sketch book is fabulous!
Thank you Leigh! The wild boar babies are so precious. ... whispers: "landscape/building zine".
I have the same mindset with sketchbooks! If I don't like the beginning of it or where it's going I start over.. and so many artists suggest just letting sketchbooks be messy with bad art, but I can't live like that, I need to fix it all and cover things up that I don't like, or just rip the page out entirely .
That fawn you didn’t like is so cute!! I love her
This whole sketchbook is so beautiful! And there's so many amazing drawings in it that we've never seen! I'm honestly waiting for the day you create a big ol' artist book out of pages from all your sketchbooks 😁 I'd love that. And don't worry about commentary, you could upload a sketchbook tour without one and it'll still be just as good 💕 Can't wait for the next ones.
Mate, I love those red river gorge paintings/drawings! I can relate to the panic of outdoor painting but I think you nailed it. In fact you’ve inspired me to do some outside nature painting today WOOP. Thanks for the tour x
I always look forward to your videos 💖💖
Awww love the baby donkey.....
I love your sketchbook tours 💕
So much cuteness in one sketchbook! Beautiful work as always, Leigh ❤️🥰
Loved the sketchbook tour! I paint over my pages all the time.
The vibes in your art really speak to me... it made me smile! It made me really happy when I saw it, thank you
MinnieSmall tried the same “fill all my old sketchbooks” challenge! Such a great idea! Hey how do you draw/write on top of what you’ve filmed? I loved the “YEAH.” and the texture of your primary colored “YES”! Even your writing has beautiful texture. :)
Omg that jack-o'-lantern kitty!
I’m a simple girl I see good art, I subscribe 😌
I have been looking at some sketchbook tours for some inspiration and did not feel inspired, almost gave up going back to Pinterest and then I find your video. I have been pinning your pictures on Pinterest for a long time, so happy to see who is behind all this. Like your way of working with colors and all animals are super cute.
Loved it! And it helped me walk an extra 10 minutes on my treadmill, so thanks. :)
Your art makes me happy❤️
This inspired me to actually finish my sketchbook and film a sketchbook tour✨I’m really slow when it comes to finishing a sketchbook💦 Really love your color scheme btw💕 love from Japan 🇯🇵 レイさんのスケッチブックはすごく素敵です💖✨
Eri Aikawa I LOVE looking at other people’s sketchbook I really need to watch more tours
I panic drawing outside too. I stopped walking with too much stuff so I could not worry about colour. Been using pastels lately because I want Colour but too lazy for watercolour so it’s this kinda struggle. Hoping to overcome this drama this year by drawing everywhere I go
I honestly love all of the content you make! I think my favorite part was the bird and ducks so far 😊
I have the exact opposite problem lol.... too many things to say! I feel like there is a lot you can talk about: what inspired you? what materials did you use? what do you like about it? what you don't like about it? what works? what doesn't work? what were you trying to achieve? Was it just for practice? Or more serious? What did you learn from it? Why did you choose that subject or medium or style? Other random things you associate with the subject or the experience of creating that piece of art? What would you improve next time? If you were to paint it again, what would you do differently? How do you feel about having completed your sketchbook? Why did you decide to fill up all of your old/partially filled sketchbooks?
I could keep going but I doubt anyone is going to read all this lol. Hope it helps!
Replying so I can get notified of this comment 💓
i’ve had the same strathmore blank sketchbook sitting on my desk and you just inspired me to start it!
I love your color choices and pairings so much
Also i cant wait to try that strathmore mixed media sketchbook i like having a mixed media sketchbook but i also love sewn-bound instead of spiral bound and that cover looks satisfying to touch
have watched it for few times, and I still like it! love your video Leigh! :)
After watching this video I was like:
I’m gonna draw some cats now because I saw Leigh draw some adorable ones.
YOUR CAT DRAWINGS ARE SO CUTEEEE ♡︎♡︎♡︎
When you were talking about not wanting to work in a sketchbook when you don't vibe with it, I REALLY felt that, because it's exactly how I'm feeling about my current sketchbook, but my mom isn't getting me a new one cuz she doesn't understand cuz I couldn't put that feeling into words before I heard you say it
Even your least favorite pieces are awesome. I love your work, you've inspired me. :D I must use more colors and I must draw more cute animals.
Your sketchbook tour was wonderful. I adore all the pictures of the different animals. They are so cute!
Hey !! I'm brazilian and i'm new here,on your channel.I love so much.❤🇧🇷
It’s amazing watching this...because as an artist, I’m always critical of my works and people criticize ME for being self critical! Haha 😂 so I appreciate you being like “yeah I retired it, I got tired of it!”
Favorite RUclips artist ( + Frannerd). ❤ your adorable awkwardness, style, sense of humor, and music. Gold star ✪
Love seeing your sketchbook videos! Have started working a lot more in mine and filming some of the entries too 🙌🥳
I love seeing actual talent on RUclips! 🤩
Hey leah,
I really love your sketchbook tours. I find it super hard to look back on my work. Part of what makes it a little easier for me is picking out details that I like, even if I hate to composition. Thanks for posting btw :)
love your art so much :) also it's so interesting to see your style change. and the cuteness still :D tigers omg 🐅
also I guess the commentary was how it always is in tours? I liked it, it was chill and relatable :)
the first sketchbook that i ever finish (bc i mostly left my sketchbooks unfinished lol) took me almost 4yrs to complete >.< btw, i enjoyed this sketchbook tour and i love your arts
This was wonderful to watch! :) I strive to make my sketchbooks cohesive, too..but it is so so hard when I stop liking the direction. So I totally felt that when you said it.
I love the art style. Not an artist so I don't know fancy-schmancy art words but it's beautiful
I love your style!! It's so pretty and the colors in it are beautiful! :)
I love your tour so much!!!!!!!!
I love how you sketch animals
Your sketchbook is so cool! Btw could you do a one color watercolor challenge
I really enjoyed this tour. Beautiful artwork (yes, even the deer) :-)
I love your “vibe.” 😘
Looooving the Halloween cats at the end! You're definitely giving me ideas to cover up pages I don't like in my sketchbook 🤓
love watching your sketchbook tours! i find these so inspiring to watch and all your color selections and combinations are so gorgeous
I can really relate to the panicking over colour choice when painting a scenery, honestly that's just me every time.
I throughly enjoyed your sketchbook tour ;) you inspire me to start one myself hehehe ;)
The cutest sketchbook i’ve ever seen!!!!
I was just watching your videos while doing my bullet journal :D
The pain of working through a sketchbook that you just don't like is truly a struggle but hey you did it! Always a good day when you upload! Hope your 2020 is going well! ^.^
i grew up in the red river gorge its so beautiful here :)
