    My one drawing talent is that I can draw very realistic horses from memory. This is due to a childhood obsession with horses and different horse breeds (I never owned a horse and didn't really live close to any or ride other than occasionally on holidays, so not sure where that came from, haha). I can tell you that beyond childhood my magical skill has not served me much. I love your blue horses - they have so much personality.

      @@littlewillowlinda I totally forgot but as a kid I was given a bunch of old Black Stallion series books! So my obsession stems from books too!

      Look Toulouse La Trec horse drawings and Edgar Degas’ horse paintings and George Stubbs (probably Englands) greatest horse painter.

    One of my favourite things about sketchbooking is if you don’t like something, you can paint over the page and do something new.

    • @Atkreality
      @Atkreality 8 месяцев назад +5

      I do that all the time. I draw something but seems boring so I erase it or flip the page, trace over it and create something different.😅

    "I like being forced to make marks confidently."
    I needed this! Erasers are my enemy. I will drive myself nuts and never finish. I *just* started doing everything in my newest sketchbook with a fudenosuke and I love how imperfectly bold it all is.

    4:01 idk why but i LOVED this horse SO MUCH. It spoke to my inner child and it almost seemed to be telling me that everything is going to be alright.. Which is why I was surprised you weren’t a big fan! I am also trying to pick up art again, and you reminded me that just because i hate my art, doesn’t mean that it isn’t art. Tysm for sharing! You are an eccentric artist and i’m very grateful i stumbled across your channel!!🩵

    I actually looooove the funky "from memory" animals. somehow they really capture the spirit and movement of the animals better than more realistic drawings imo.

    @Saltysnaily 10 месяцев назад +11

    4:59 I am absolutely in LOOOOVE with the layering of more realistic and stylized artwork. Honestly, I think the blue horses are really good despite what you might think, yes, they looks silly, but they appeal to my inner child and they have some kind of poetic value to them :0
    In general, love your sketchbook so much !! can't wait to see what comes next in your art journey :]

    3:43 OH GOOOD blue horses! One of my favorite childhood books was The Four-cornered round forest by Ervin Lázár, and one of the main characters was Seraphin Horse (Ló Szerafin), the blue horse! This felt so good to watch. Smiled a lot

    My favorites are the trout and birds. Colorful and bold. Love it. Very cool to see your style emerge and evolve in the figures as well. My books are very chaotic so to see someone else's work with confident lines and strokes helps me learn. Thanks for the looky-look!

    Such an amazing sketchbook!! This has really inspired me to be more creative and not put so much pressure on having to finish every drawing and it having to be 'perfect'. Watching you share a page you didn't love and then turn over to something you were really proud of reminded me that it doesn't have to be this linear process of getting better every time you make something, so thank you!!

    @Chunda8 13 дней назад

    Horses are really challenging to draw- the proportions and construction are very specific. If any part is a little off, the whole thing looks off. To try by memory is impressive and even harder, I find them hard enough to get right with a reference. They are in my top 20 subjects but not my top 10. Lee Ames has some good step-by-steps that are tremendously helpful.

    I love your style. I don't feel like I have a style yet but when I flick through my sketchbooks I can tell that my stuff all came from one place if that makes sense? Even across different medias and themes they seem to be together somehow. So I guess there's a style of some sort going on just not what I want lol. I've been thinking about trying one of those Talens sketchbooks. They're quite reasonably priced compared to some of the other brands available to me down here in New Zealand. A lot of brands seem to pass us by.

    I remember hearing that whales in their natural habitat aren't measured by weight but by mass. Since their bodies have the same density as water, they can move through it without exerting additional effort to go up or down. Weightless beasts!
