- This video is NOT about bashing other peoples' views, so please don't look for any of the comments I've shown.
It is also not a plea for support - I'm not angry, I'm not upset, I'm perfectly content. And the positive comments I get outweigh the negative 100 fold, so the support I feel from you guys is already absolutely incredible.
It IS supposed to be a mild source of amusement, as some of the comments I get are quite funny (IMO), and also to show you that the most important thing about creativity is that you are doing it for you.
AND I really like this painting, so you might even enjoy painting along from this reference - unsplash.com/photos/panorama-...
Let me know what the funniest 'feedback' you've ever had was in the comments :D

I'm not sure how this video is going to go down :) Please don't get angry with these commenters, or feel worried about me. Have a little chuckly (if you like) and most importantly keep creating your art FOR YOU!
That is what will keep us all happiest, I think :)
I love that you let any negative comments roll off your shoulders. Thank you for being willing to paint how you like and sharing that with us.
I, for one, really appreciate your talking while painting because I get a better idea of what you are doing 😊
I prefer videos where the artist is talking, since I'm not looking at the screen all the time. Otherwise it's just like having background music haha
I don’t know what I’d do without you helping to free me up!!! Newbie artist!!
I'm just glad you're enjoying yourself :)
Me too.
Loose line sketching has been the most enjoyable and rewarding art style I’ve discovered. Thanks for the content.
Maybe these critics could spend more time painting rather than commenting on others’ efforts. Keep on keeping on, Toby. Your perspective has been instrumental in allowing me to break old, tight habits. Thank you. ❤
Thanks 👍
Your loose style has got me drawing and just “going for it”. For me when you added the windows to this picture it just POPPED! What do I want to see more of? Landscapes..
Ahhh more landscapes coming up 🙏
I love what you have said.
Art definitely should be about having fun.
I think I’m too critical over my painting.
I am sometimes frightened of starting for the fear of failure ❤
Thank you! Don't be too hard on yourself though 💪
It looks like you enjoy sketching. And that‘s what counts. - I enjoy watching you sketching.
Toby, you are truly inspiring, and your constant chatter is very therapeutic, so don't ever change it! You have definitely taught me how to free up my art and I can't thank you enough!
Hi Toby, I've been appreciating your channel very much for over a year. Your approach has allowed me to gain confidence in drawing for myself, even though I have drawn professionally for many years. Thank you for sharing in your wonderful way about loving your craft. You are an amazing teacher and artist! 😊
the critics had comments like these for Van Gogh..youre in good company. Your videos have done more to improve my art than anything ive ever seen or studied. thank you.
The comments section is revealing who the artists are: people who have struggled with the fear of the blank page, creative blocks, and know the real value in accepting the freedom to play, to be authentic, to allow yourself the freedom to do things how you want to or love to. That’s art. Love your post!
🙏
I use art as a form of mindfulness as part of my treatment for chronic PTSD. Your videos and loose style have affirmed how I feel about making my art. I found that trying to be realistic in my art was counterproductive to moving into a mindfulness state of mind. Love this video!
Im a photographer and I tell my students to remember, no matter how great a photo may seem to them, how perfect, not everyone is going to like your work. When it comes to my personal photography and watercolors, I rarely shoot or paint what I see, but rather what I feel. That’s where I find peace and happiness.
Well said!
Once again, an absolutely gorgeous drawing in a loose style that your detractors simply cannot duplicate should they even try. I *love* the water reflections and the mixing of colors from sky to landscape to sea. Gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
I have just retired and started attending an art class.You have inspired me to try and be loose in my painting, fighting my instinct to do a very methodical technical drawing and lose the will to live at the same time ! Thanks.
Toby I love your continuous line sketching. It's loose and simplistic, in the true spirit of urban sketching! Haters can keep hating! You do you xx
👍👍
A lot of people just don't understand abstract. I really love this piece xx
🙏
Freedom of expression is what elevates a craft into art. Also, a negative comment is still an engagement, so it still works to promote your channel.
I really enjoy videos that describe the thinking and the process in creating a sketch. Personally, I love the gloriously chaotic look. Looseness can certainly be on a spectrum and where we are on a given day can vary. Doing it for our own enjoyment and being authentic - so important!
Hehe thanks 🙏👍
I enjoyed this one. I like to work with the water soluable inks and graphite. I appreciate the supportive advice on doing our art our way. No one should be criticizing art. Art is unique to the person doing it. Thank you for another good one.
I absolutely LOVE your style and try to learn from it (and mostly do!) - keep going, keep babbling, keep being YOU 🙂 and keep creating cool, messy and relaxed art!
Thank you! Will do!
I am not sure how you are going to take this, but your sketching and painting is the type of art, and actually the only art I would buy and hang on my walls. I find it freeing, enjoyable to ponder at, it is detailed but not overly done that the imagination is not allowed to wander and I love it. Your color choice is not burdened and one can see the lightness and joy in each stroke of your pen or brush. I can only hope one day to attain a snippet of the talent you have...I am trying...every day...so thank you for sharing your gift with the world...even to those who do not know how to appreciate nice things, maybe one day they will wake up and find joy.
Very lovely of you to say, what a kind comment.
Be kind to yourself too though, I'm not convinced I'm super talented I just get the opportunity to do this a lot 😜😜
I have to fight many times my inner monster voice than others...I'm harsh with my work...I felt relief with this video...learning to be accepted 😊
Thank you for sharing your lovely art - With your always helpful commentary explaining your process, colors, etc.. Watching you helps me to get past my fear-of-imperfection art paralysis. :)
You are so welcome!
I so appreciate what you do. You have inspired me and my whole family about watercolor painting and drawing. Your work and the way that you teach is beautiful. Thank you for being you!
You are so welcome!
I love your art Toby...you're inspiring too. And I love that you talk an awful lot😊
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Major problem these days is everybody feels they need to be right, AND that this means everybody else needs to be wrong. Or good/bad. Or talented/rubbish. Life isn’t black and white. Neither should politics, or opinion, and perhaps least of all art!
Love your art lessons Toby, I enjoy listening to your lovely chatter, very informative. 👍🏽
Many thanks
Art is a form of prayer/mindfulness...it gets you out of yourself for a time certain. Toby is able to allow others to enter that place of creativity and fun. Underneath it all he teaches us more than we might be aware of. This gift causes a certain kind of envy. Blessings on Toby!
Hehe thanks!
I enjoy watching your havoc and chaos (your words!). At times I wish I could be looser with my art, but my style is just different. Sometimes I really love your end result, sometimes not as much, but like you said you aren’t always happy with the end result yourself, so I don’t feel too mean saying that. However, I always enjoy seeing your process and your enthusiasm and I appreciate your encouragement to give it a go! I don’t understand why people feel the need to be rude, if they really don’t like it, just stop watching!
What a lovely fountain pen. Suits you Tobi. ❤Eddie
You are too kind, it's a wonderful pen, I use it very often not on the channel ♥️
They are trolls. I see these really mean comments on other sites.
Definitely don't take it to heart. Someone who has nothing to do does this type of thing.
For me, I really enjoy your style.
Hello to Betty🐾🐾
I’m surprised you get negative comments because your style is both fascinating and satisfying to watch. I long to be able to paint so loosely and lightly, but I’m fighting my head which wants neatness! Nevertheless, watching you and listening to you is never time wasted 🥰
I appreciate that!
Love your work and style. There are plenty of other artists of a similar style on YT and it's good to be able to watch a few of them and learn from them and from you. Keep up the good work!
Inspirational. I love how you have found *your* way of describing the world. The chat for a beginner like me really helps.
So glad!
Hey Toby, I like the way you present your art. And as simple as it may look, your loose style takes a lot of practice. Unfortunately, some people don't understand that. I live by the motto "You're okay, I'm okay". That works very well for me. Looking forward to see more of your art. Have a nice day, greetings from Germany
😀
I enjoyed this so much. Once again listening to your voice as I followed along in my sketch pad was relaxing and enlightening. I am not comfortable using the ink like you. But I did use a micron pen. I use to use a pencil first, with constant erasing. Just using the micron pen has helped me just go for it. There are no mistakes in art, right. I looked at the picture provided and just did my thing while listening to you. I am so grateful for your unique painting style and teaching method. I even purchased a sketch pad devoted to your lessons. I even have a tiny pad in my purse to be able to sketch at any given moment when I am out and about. When I was younger my motto was "perfection I will accept nothing less". That motto has fallen by the wayside , thank goodness. Painting is joy and escape for me. It is the journey of the perfectly, imperfect. Thank you for helping find my confidence in sketching.
lol! I’m gonna sketch exercise equipment at PT today and I’ll put a few crooked Picasso eye balls in just because …. then I’m painting it all outside the lines with colors that shouldn’t be allowed together 😂😂😂😂 I gotta be me having some fun. Poot to the whine babies! Free yourself!
Toby! Toby! Toby!
I love your style and your way of talking through your videos.
I appreciate that
Lovely sketch and nice ideas about being yourself, thanks! I’ll try with soluble ink, looks nice! Have a nice day 😊
A thoroughly Inspiring messy approach. Love it!
Thanks so much!
Im just sad that people would feel confortable saying mean things about your art.. you are an inspiration for me if its valid.. your art is so free it inspired me paint.. i always felt wrong because i cant do realistic drawing , i dobt have the determination, and always felt i shouldn't draw then.. but with your method i feel free to do it.. its so fulfilling.. i wish people could just admire your art too
I'm delighted to hear this, thank you for sharing! (The second part that is makes me delighted, that you now feel free 😌)
Such a lovely video! Really appreciate that you focus on enjoying yourself and having fun - this really resonated with me. I love doing more demanding watercolor paintings, but sometimes it's just so freeing to do a loose sketch with no pressure to make it perfect 💙💙💙
I really love your videos and your art! I have just started sketching and I am a true perfectionist, but your videos help me letting go of that and just having fun! 😊 Thank you so much for that!
I'm just getting started and watching a lot of videos to help out. I've taken several free preview courses and yours is the one I go back to -- and you will be the first paid course I take. Keep having fun, keep inspiring ~ stay Toby!
Great to hear!
I love your style Toby!
Love the message of this video. And love your artistic style.
Thank you so much!
Stay authentic ! You’re the new Bob Ross. 😉 🇨🇦
You are my Urban Sketcher Hero! I love how you thumb your nose to the naysayers! Your honesty and encouragement is much appreciated. I love your "chaos" and "mayhem". You style is refreshing and I admire it! Keep up the good work. I love your channel.
Love it! Thank you
I had the terrible feeling during this video that someone had insulted you and/or your art..shame on them !!!
No bad insults, and everyone's views are valid, some negative feedback is just a little less useful than others 😂
I'm really gobbling up your videos and I really really want to paint like you... Just at the start of discovering I even want to make some art! I'm only just trying some loose ink sketching, I don't even have any paints or brushes yet 😅
I love your work and teaching. It has me inspired me to start drawing again.
Wonderful!
In the sky section (as a writer), I would write a poem with my fountain pen 😊 Your art is always your own. Stuff the idiots that can 'see' beyond their own nose.
Hehe brill!
I love this. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Love your loose sketch videos - and your 'chatter'. A whole lot better than much of the mindless music that accompanies some videos! Thank you for your easy enthusiasm and laid-back attitude.
Brilliant sketch. Thanks. More landscapes pls.
Of course!
Well, I LOVE your art, and you talking!!! The painting today is fantastic! Years ago, not knowing what I was doing, I would instinctively sketch with continuous lines, even when drawing people! It felt wrong, but it still felt right for me. I think it’s the energy in the sketching this way, that I love so much!
Oh my goodness, detractors, let the boy be who he is. For me, I watch because Toby is so very inclusive, and because his paintings are lovely, free, and very true to his style. ❤
Also, I like that you leave a lot of white, much more than I learned to leave. It makes you paintings look fresh. (If “fresh” does not mean something nice in the UK, know that it is a compliment in the US.)
I am a very new sketcher and painter, and have settled on Toby's loose style as what I enjoy, too. I also am learning how important white space is and employing it in my paintings. I was painting with my 12 year old granddaughter last week (a natural artist she is) and she told me she loves my use of whitespace, but that her art teacher *always* discourages the students from using white space. What a shame!
C'est absolument génial. Et merci de nous aider à nous libérer et à aimer ce qu'on fait! It is absolutely genius. And thanks to help us to be free and like what we do.
Love your work, love your approach, love the videos!
I really like your type of sketching, Toby ! I am 72 years old and I enjoy doodling with colors; I follow your Chanel with pleasure ! But I have to practice a lot with continuous line, it seems easy, but it is not ! Best regards, MaLou
I’d love to see some sketchbook tour videos.
I keep meaning to make more!
Excellent video! Love your message!
Thanks so much!
Toby, I think your art is wonderful. I love and admire realism, but that doesn't mean anything that is not realistic is wrong. Different is just different, not wrong. I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now and am up to day 8 of your 10 day free course. It is great fun and I have learned so much from you. Thank you for being you and sharing your art and knowledge with the world.
I love how you sketch and I've learned so much from you!
New subscriber 😊. So glad I've discovered you Toby! I'm doing your 10 day course atm👍🏼🖋 🎨
Welcome aboard!
Toby, really ignore the meanies. They're not worth even one second of consideration. Maybe they're just jealous because you are doing what you're good at while enjoying yourself. Which in the final analysis is the only thing that really matters. And you're teaching amongst others, me. A newbie that'll be lost without your guidance.
Great work, thx toby!
No problem!
Awesome!
Thanks!
You are great..Simple,enjoyable painting..
Brilliant video as always
Glad you enjoyed it
Love it, thank you for sharing your talent.
You are so welcome!
People just don't know how to let others live. I'm sorry you're receiving unsolicited rude feedback and I really like how you just shrug it off and continue with your life
Love your work. Thanks for sharing
Pleasure 😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
I’m amused that people take the time to criticize content that they didn’t pay for and are free to ignore. Don’t like it? Go away.
Haha yes, I've always found it funny that they are SO bothered that they need to write something 😂😂
Hey, can you please do more night scenes? You don't have a lot of them, but I think they're really friggin cool
Added to the list 😀
