Here with a sketchbook tour! Honestly ya girl has the hardest time making these videos. I get major brain fog when I have to record my hands and just talk, weird experience. I know ya'll love these videos though so this one is for you!!
As I said in the video there is NO ONE RIGHT WAY to use your sketchbook!! I know mine doesn't looks like the typical "loose" sketches that you might expect to see. But that's just how I use my sketchbook. Please use yours however YOU want to. This is how I like to use mine :-) PLEASE no negativity in the comments about how your sketchbook looks different. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

my bladder after Leigh says sketch/sketchbook 12 times in just the intro and there’s still 13min left: 👁👄👁

@LeighEllexson 3 года назад

LOL I didn't know if viewers would actually take on the "take a sip of water every time I say sketch or sketchbook" YIKEs but also YES

@audstatic6802 3 года назад

I’m pretty sure Leigh said sketchbook more than normal just to keep us hydrated

@sushiunderthestars7238 3 года назад

hydration guaranteed 100%

@modafoca8528 3 года назад

Hey, here's an idea. Maybe when you reach the middle of the sketchbook you turn it around and start over. That way you have a refresh and don't have to deal with the heavy part being on the left. Just a thought, keep it up : )

@sushiunderthestars7238 3 года назад

yeah I never sketch from beginning to end. I always pick any random page to sketch on :)

@adriennel.gibson 3 года назад

OMG good idea!!

@nefariouscryptid 3 года назад

Actually that’s a great idea. Thank you

My husband works in the printing industry so I have the random knowledge that it's called perfect binding. :) & I got into those Strathmore sketchbooks because of you. They're great!

@emitchell5597 3 года назад

Leigh, you mentioned when you get towards the end of a sketch book you hate how the bulk is on the opposite side..Have you ever considered turning the book upside down to reset the bulk on the side you prefer it on? Just a thought

@onetime282 3 года назад

That's a good idea I've never thought about that. Thanks!

@lillydevil2486 2 года назад

that little brown chicken on the right page at 11:07 is my favorite it's just so CUTE XD

@hannahdoesart9955 2 года назад

i love sketchbook tours because you get to see so much art at once and its so fluid and natural art.

@bridgetcaton2881 3 года назад

It's so refreshing to see another artist that focuses more on animals than humans. Not that I have anything against people that draw humans, I just tend to fall into a loop of forcing myself to draw things I don't enjoy when I see other people draw them. (I feel like such a failure sometimes that I can't draw people/ don't enjoy it) Seeing this video was really motivating for me! I'm going to experiment with more color :))

@anniechantale5869 3 года назад

Leigh! you don't need to buy expensive stuff to make the grafite not go all over the place. Back in art school a professor told us to use hair spray (ultra hold) to fix the colors for pastels and other materials like it. Obviously wont work like the professional stuff but most households have hair spray and its cheap af. Cheers from Canada :D

@saltpepper27 3 года назад

Hairspray is very acidic and shouldn’t be used for archival purposes but it works if it’s a quick sketch you don’t care about the longevity of

@ideljenny 3 года назад

Im in europe. My cheap end extra super hold hairspray is only a little less expensive than normal setting spray.

thanks for filming this! you embody having fun with a sketchbook and it's always fun to witness. this one was especially inspiring! and it's the kind of inspiring where i'm like "ooh damn that looks like fun, i want to go have fun in my sketchbook!" instead of the usual "wow they're so good at art i need to ~practice~ more ugh" 💗💖💕 love that!!

@LeighEllexson 3 года назад

Love this :') thank you!!!! I could cry.

@Dakota.Piyesis 3 года назад

I feel the same way !! I was like, OH man I need to go get out all of my supplies! I need to draw now and have fun doing it!

You took the words out of my mouth! Looking at Leigh's works, even if it is a completely different style from mine, always leaves me insipired.

@zoetkt 3 года назад

This was such a beautiful video essay! Your insights about keeping a sketchbook are truly valuable. I recently started feeling troubled that I spend time in my sketchbook as a way to avoid taking risks and investing time in making large pieces. But your perception about keeping a sketchbook just crushed that silly thought! Thank you!

Your sketchbooks are always so interesting! You take objects that I wouldn't have ever thought of and you illustrate or stylize them in a neat way.

Instead of fixative I just put a cutout of parchment/wax paper over my sketchbook to prevent smudging! Fixative smells icky, not the vibe. Loved the sketchbook tour as always!

@lisarae7823 2 года назад

I really love sketchbook tours. Even going through my own sketchbooks, it feels so nostalgic. Like I get to remember so many random details from the day or time period. Makes me miss the moon at a train station when it snowed and smeared a marker stroke. The day my sister told us she was pregnant and I left a spread half finished on purpose because we got the call when I was mid-sketch.

@aimeecreative 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been trying to get more loose with my sketchbook and more free and you’re so inspiring and do it so well! This whole book is amazing. PS I love the sketchbooks too! I have the smaller version and I’m just obsessed with the fact that they don’t bleed

@tinagomez1314 3 года назад

I just really have to urge to say, as always Leigh love your vids and yes we love sketchbook tours, I personally get artistic concepts seeing art or other things visually, so sketchbook tours are a +. Also, love the dances and sassiness or sarcastic sound, whatever it is I just love the sass lol. And lastly, really love the tiger on the other side beside Knivesmeow's postcard, that tiger page is soooo cute, I love tigers and I love your tigers. Ok byeee😁💙✌🏼

@tonio1377 3 года назад

really liked this video :) i think many people like sketchbook tours bc they give this impression of perfection without the struggle behind it, but also because it's like a little personal museum ! and as an artist myself i know i like these vids bc they give inspiration on what to draw, on composition, on colors or mediums to try out ! much love to you and your plants

@floralspectre 3 года назад

completely unrelated, but you have a really nice profile picture

@smishstudio 3 года назад

Loved it! I like seeing sketchbook tours from my favorite artists because I learn a lot from seeing their process. It's also a good reminder/inspiration source for my own sketchbook. Sometimes I get too perfectionist about mine and forget that its a judgement free zone to experiment! Thanks Leigh 💚

hey leigh if u don’t like the way your sketchbook lays when it gets toward the end i would suggest you flip it over and start from the back like it’s new ! i used to do that when i had the irrational fear of starting a new sketchbook, i would start it from the back and somehow that helped ? i think that might help you too !
