I did that in a burst of energy at 3am a year ago because I didn't like the way my sketchbook looked. It was so blank and loveless because I can't draw when I'm stressed and school stresses me, so now the sketchbook just breaks in completely and halfway through it's full with color, paper, glue, paint and time consuming art. I just wanted to finish the sketchbook in less than a month, 100 pages and I somehow managed in one and a half :)
I love that she didn’t call her old art ugly that’s something I used to do and it didn’t help at all she calls it silly or anything positive:) I just adore that in you :D
Thanks for the amazing journey! For beginners, I assure you, you don't need to draw from your early childhood to become good. I've been an art teacher in a community center for a while and saw HUGE progress in 8 weeks from most of my students. Some of them were elderly who never got to draw after the age of 8 because of school shaming. With a nice teacher and determination you all can do it!
Yes. I returned to drawing in 29. I draw for 3 years, and it's amazing. I'm learning very, very fast. Faster, than it could be in childhood. I know, what I want.
This is sooo wonderful- I especially love that you will say "oh that one is good" and "that one came out really well" about your work. I feel like so many artists are putting themselves down in their videos, and saying how terrible their work is! I love that you can appreciate your own art! It's wonderful!!! Thank you for taking us along on this journey!! 🎉😊
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 💙 I'm glad it comes across that way. I've been through long periods of time where I was pretty negative about my own work too... but being positive, embracing my shortcomings and being proud of just trying my best has really helped me and made me improve a lot! 💙
I’m 22 and I’ve only just really started trying to draw. It’s been a struggle but things like that motivate me because you can really see the progress!
I must admit that I am surprised that you don't have more followers and more comments! I mean, the quality is really good, your english too (fellow person who's first language is not english here🙌🏻) I am only half of the video and there's already a lot of evolution from sketchbook 1 to 3! Love from a belgian beginner artist!❤️
Been crocheting the whole video, but now that I've seen 10 years worth of drawing I absolutely have to switch to my sketchbook, thanks for the motivation booster!!
Olá Carol! Me chamo João, sou brasileiro e amo os seus desenhos e a sua história como artista. Eu tenho você como uma inspiração na arte e quero agradecer pelo canal. Um dia ainda chego lá. E tenho orgulho de ser um dos primeiros inscritos dos muitos que virão.❤
This is literally one of my favorite videos ever, I always watch sketchbook tours while doing a sketchbook page/spread. I‘m actually learning Portuguese at the moment and it’s just really cool seeing you being from Portugal, and I‘m so sorry you miss being there. You are a great artist and a huge inspiration of mine! Keep going!!
It's nice meeting you through this video! I've never seen your art before. I feel very privilegied to see all that progression drawing by drawing. It's an honor I've rarely seen from other artists. I also kept sketches in folders since 2001, when I was 11 too. I was more a free sheets than sketchbooks when I was a teenager. I use sketchbooks for the last 10 years, but still rip them off to fit in the folders. I revisit them sometime and it make me see the journey and the progress I've made. Even when sometime I stop drawing from long period of time because of mental illness. Keep going the good work! You have good English skills too. English is my second language after French, i'm pretty sure I would'nt sound as confident as you are. You got a follower ^^
Thank you for sharing such personal drawings. My favorite thing about all of your sketchbooks is how consistently you use all the space on most pages. Front and back, full pages with many drawings. Its so beautiful.
Beautiful work and wonderful video! Your English is fantastic and if I even get to half of your level with my Spanish I will be content! You're extremely talented in many things!
This is so interesting to see :0 Im 21 now (from Germany) and when I was 13 we drew the same patterns(the colorful), topics, tryed out similar styles (anime, TopModel-Magazines, partially Disney esp. with the eyey)... I was starting to draw in this situation as well and honestly I love it My art still look best whenever I'm drawing on notebooks, which is why many of my sketches are still made on lined paper and finished/edited afterwards :D School was traumatizing, yes But it made me look for another place to wander off to, whenever it was to much and that's still what art means to me Traumatizing school is what made art a safe space for me if you want so 😂 Also: Graphite was THE thing ofc, because that's the only thing I had :,)
Beautiful work, seeing the progress you have made through the years is really fascinating, thank you so much for sharing, great artist always say that you have to practice, and do it again and again, seeing all the sketchbooks you have filled with thousands of portraits I believe it. What is also important to know is that you can create great art with just a pen/pencil and simple paper, you are inspiring, thank you
This is so cool to see, because I've been drawing everyday for years now, but it became a chore. I trapped myself in a box of having to fill a new page every single day, even when I didn't want to. I loved art and drawing, but I made it so difficult for myself. So lately, I'm trying a new approach to my sketchbook and art in general of following my passion. This video taught me not to take my sketchbook so seriously and to have more fun with it. I want to be more free and experimental like you have been, so thanks a bunch! :D
This video is so beautiful! I totally agree with everything you said, art is about having fun! I also adore the love you have towards your art (and art in general!) It can be sensed through tjis video!❤️
The positivty you have toward your art is contagious. It's really nice seeing an artist not beat down their earlier work. Your progress is really inspriing too! I would recommend raising the volume of the video. Also this video could have been split into parts. You put so much effort into it, so it would create more content for you and it would be easier to watch if it came out in chunks. I want to be helpful so I hope this doesn't come off negative. This was great though I'll probably come back to finish it later
MANO EU TAVA SÓ ASSISTINDO NEM SUSPEITAVA Q VC FALASSE PT E DO NADA TÁ ESCRITO: "DESENHOS" kkkkkkkkkkkkk desenha bem dms slk, amo ver vídeos de sketchbook tour, principalmente os q vão desde o início, amo ver evolução
Makes me cry cause by now I could have at least 5 sketchbooks. But somehow for some reason, as soon as I get to half of it or more, I lose them 🫠 i never found them again. Im keeping a close eye on my new one right now😂
Hi Carole. I love your style so much. I want to learn to draw like this so much but I have no idea where to start, how, who to follow, i would love some advice on what helped you the most and how you went about on loearning
I started drawing on printer paper heck even asked for printer paper and a clipboard once for my bday and a 3 ring binder and sheet protectors Stared drawing at 8 😅
I know the dates don’t match but you should glue your loose drawings into the sketchbook that wasn’t finished. At least you can fill it and not lose your loose papers :)
I think you cool person to me keep it up your art is cool to i am a artist to art is my naim i cant stop its just me i no but keepon drawing you will get better like the bestsis ones how drawsenjoy life and what it begian to your life god is in my life and i give it to workout you or bad be safe blackroses say so...
I live in the country so I’m not very close to any stores so sometimes I have to use notebooks as sketchbook. I’m tryna get some Amazon gift cards so I can get a real one lol😭
Beautiful work and wonderful video! Your English is fantastic and if I even get to half of your level with my Spanish I will be content! You're extremely talented in many things!
Am I the only one who had an obsessive state in which I would draw like 10 pages a day when I was 12-13 😂
Yes!!
I did that in a burst of energy at 3am a year ago because I didn't like the way my sketchbook looked. It was so blank and loveless because I can't draw when I'm stressed and school stresses me, so now the sketchbook just breaks in completely and halfway through it's full with color, paper, glue, paint and time consuming art. I just wanted to finish the sketchbook in less than a month, 100 pages and I somehow managed in one and a half :)
Literally 😭
Same😭😭
Same. I wish I had that kind of focus and energy again.
I love that she didn’t call her old art ugly that’s something I used to do and it didn’t help at all she calls it silly or anything positive:) I just adore that in you :D
Ikr I was watching the video and I noticed that, I think it’s nice to see a artist talk well about their old art :) I also found that cute lmao ❤️
I love being honest ugly is ugly and yes my old art was super hideous

I love the way you talk about them. It’s a breath of fresh air without talking down on tour past art
thank you for sharing this!!!! as a person who is teaching themselves how to draw at the age of 27, this kind of content is really lovely to see.
Thank you so much 💙💙 That's so great!

Traumatizing school is what made art a safe space for me if you want so 😂
Also: Graphite was THE thing ofc, because that's the only thing I had :,)
I brought my almost empty Pringles can to this thinking it’s atleast 46mins BUT AN HOUR+ I WAS LIKE ” WAIT UH ”
