Hi! My name is Radhia Rahman and I'm a Desi illustrator born and raised in NYC. I recently graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2020 with a BFA in illustration. This is how I've filled up my sketchbook over the years!
The sketchbook I used:

your sketchbook helped me realize i need to be more comfortable with my sketchbook:) i get really freaked out that i’m “wasting paper” with doodles

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

i've been there too, treating my materials way too preciously! but theyre meant to be used so, its ok to make mistakes or "waste" things sometimes, better to get something done from start to finish rather than never start because youre too intimidated!

@TheManyThings 4 года назад

When I’m feeling really crippled by that I find using something really cheap, or even lined to take some of the pressure off.

@Lotus-bo3rw 4 года назад

I feel you. When I feel like my drawing is too horrible I rip it off the sketchbook and feels so bad and frustrated.

@foxley29166 4 года назад

Such a gorgeous sketchbook! Was so cool to see the finished paintings next to their original sketches!!

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

Thanks! I thought it would be helpful for people to see just how useful a sketchbook is when it comes to producing final artworks! Or just being a resource to yourself for future projects/ideas

@aneesaf.h.4158 4 года назад

As a Bengali person myself, seeing your art and portrayal of desi culture and things and places that are familiar to me brought me SO MUCH JOY. Thank you for representing us ❤️

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

absolutely! that's also part of my journey as an illustrator, carrying my own narratives with me throughout my artwork

@Haru_Light 4 года назад

I expected just a quick flip through but love this! I love hearing the background behind each sketch and seeing how you use the space in your sketchbook

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

I'm glad that the explanation was helpful!

@da_namekev7682 4 года назад

I finished 2 sketchbooks in half a year thanks to quarantine

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

Hell yea!!! I started drawing way more (in a different sketchbook too) during quarantine since I had extra time on my hands from not having to commute to classes

@hkaya4846 4 года назад

love this! it inspired me very much, because I always have the feeling that my sketchbook needs to be perfect :)

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

I think even the most perfect sketchbooks still have their flaws! You should treat your sketchbook in a way where you don't feel intimidated to delve and lose yourself in it

@pinksuiteheart6974 4 года назад

My favorite thing about your sketchbook (and I have many favorite things) is that it feels like a journal and there's something so intimate and calming about that to me. Kinda reminds me that there are many different ways a sketchbook can look

@kirstenwongie 4 года назад

I appreciate how you also superimpose the finished projects when you have them! It makes your tour feels so complete and helps us to understand your process.

@andysartz 4 года назад

That's so cool! I'm starting my "first" sketchbook (quotation marks because I have had notebooks assigned for drawing in the past, but never saw them as sketchbooks and didn't draw consistently at all) and it feels great to see someone else who treats their sketchbook as a sketchbook and not as an art book/portfolio full of finished illustrations. You have inspired me a lot! Thank you for sharing!

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

it's good to keep a sketchbook so you have all of your "drafted" concepts/ideas in one place!! i've also been the type of person to have hundreds of loose drawings only to never find them again rip

@calvinlogan7378 4 года назад

Thank you so much for showing what a real imperfect sketchbook looks like!!! The “perfect” sketchbook is so much pressure and way less productive. Seeing your process is wonderful 😊

@BethDooner 4 года назад

This is lovely! I'm so happy to see someone using a sketchbook and going "this is how this piece informed a final piece". Also the bit about your culture/dress and wearing sneakers underneath was truly delightful and informative!

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

thank you!

@byamiee 4 года назад

Really inspiring! I’ve never fully allowed myself to experiment within a sketchbook before but now I can’t wait to after seeing this. Huge fan of your art! ☺️

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

Thank you!! it's very good to experiment, you never know what interesting ideas can flower from doing do

@lindoodlezart 4 года назад

I love this so much! There is so much personality in your sketchbook and you have inspired me so so much! Would love to see the other sketchbook stuck in your studio if you feel comfortable sharing! Thank you for sharing this sketchbook!!!

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

Thank you! I'll definitely do a tour of the other sketchbook! I don't know when I'll be able to pick up my work but when I do I will definitely do a tour of the other one :^) It'll just be a bit backwards since that sketchbook is older!

@owlbabeart 4 года назад

Omg I found this goldie in my recommended, it's really reassuring to find someone who is carefree and casual in their sketchbook, and doesn't mind the extra scribbles

@niyahadams8511 4 года назад

Loved this and I’m so glad RU-vid put it in my recommendations! Your art and style is just amazing can’t wait to see what you post next! :)

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

@marie___mad 3 года назад

this is probably one of the first time i let a comment but needed to tell how inspiring this sketch tour is!!! and make me want to be even more free with mine, not feeling shy to recover things i didn't like etc. thank u for this video

@RadhiaRahman 3 года назад

You should!

@jakegbd9744 4 года назад

I swear I gasped out loud everytime one of the finished illustrations popped up. So so so beautiful!!

@guacamawlee 4 года назад

I really love your use of sticky notes to cover up old drawings you're not too fond of. It shows that sketchbooks really are for experimenting and you can mess up. Doesn't have to be perfect or always overly visually pleasing. Thanks for sharing! Love your art!

@tillaneveri3304 4 года назад

I just found ur whole yt chanel, and im surprised that ur not that known Ur reaaaaallly talented and good at art/drawing

The moment you said that you're not the type of person to have a "finished pieces only" sketchbook, and that your sketchbook is messy, I instantly subscribed😅

@sezenkaya2765 4 года назад

Thank you for sharing your sketchbook with us! As a person who can only create mess in their sketchbook, it felt so good to see another sketchbook as messy as mine (and without finished work). Looking forward to your next videos!!

@otterystchocolat9071 4 года назад

I love your sketchbook. It is very inspiring. There are so many artists out there who do full illustrations and my sketchbook is so messy, and blank and I'm learning so it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't do fully finished illustrations. And your work is so cute and colorful. I think I'm going to experiment with more color work in my sketchbooks. Your work is lovely. Thanks for sharing.

@augustlilly9391 4 года назад

wow this is the first time seeing a realistic sketchbook. thank you so much. i feel so motivated to continue filling in the pages of my sketchbook. also love seeing desi youtubers.

@Megan-wf8ns 4 года назад

Honestly I learned something while watching this... Your sketchbook isnt just some book you sketch or draw it reflex your personality and your emotions!! Honestly your sketchbook is so creative and me who is on my 15th sketchbook and just being lazy on most pages learned that I must start actually thinking creative and being creative!!!

@jenyaspahieva 4 года назад

This video inspired me to draw in my sketchbook way more than all the other sketchbook tour videos full of finished illustrations and barely any sketches.

@sstrongnproud 4 года назад

I've watched a looot of sketchbook tours but I enjoyed yours so much more than what I usually do :) I love how you improvise and you don't have a super perfect illustration on every single page but still all of your doodles are super cool and cute

@nova1047 4 года назад

Pretty much every page of my sketchbook is like one really good drawing in a random place on the page and then a bunch of tiny quick doodles all around it because I can’t stand leaving empty space

@_luciasanchez Год назад

Thank you for sharing this! Ever since getting sketchbooks, I've struggled to create art in them as I feel like I should only do finished pieces or art of a certain level. It's funny because when I was little, I drew on anything I could, usually just a regular A4 print paper. So I really feel inspired now to just USE the sketchbook, because just the idea of flipping through it and seeing the progress, the experimentation, etc, is enough.

@kayliesartaccount 4 года назад

WOW!! Ive been binge watching sketchbook tours while i work on mine for highschool applications ( I dont think i will b able to fill it in time but yk ive been doing my best😭😔) and yours is probably my favorite! I love the way you stylize the cats, and everything else just flows really well. How is SVA? Ive been looking at art colleges I think are interesting (Ik its a little early lol but its fun) and a ton of my favorite animators are sva alumni! Also how do you only have 202 subs?! Your art is incredible!

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

thank you! the way i've drawn cats have evolved over time and I think theyll only ever continue to shift and take shape with time! I have a cat who has big noodly energy hence why the cats I draw look the way they do (he's my model). My SVA experience was alright, but like many art colleges (and college in general) very expensive!!! Definitely out of my range in terms of tuition but I'm only attending college once so might as well go to the one I resonate with most

I’m surprised with my sketchbook. Usually the end looks crappy but it actually has some of my favorite pages. There not too detailed but I feel they have a lot of personality which is fun. Also I really like the way you draw the body and face, plus I think that page with the witches is adorable.

@RadhiaRahman 4 года назад

Thank you! It truly brings me joy when I get to share my work with others and they admire what I do! I'm also very glad I went with my interpretation of that book because if I went directly off the details in the book, it would have stunted my creativity. I also learned a lot about the history of my own culture while doing so!
