Your comment about "Don't be mean about it, just do it again" really impacted me as someone who is always hard on themself. Your whole mentality around the sketchbook, the little messages you'd write there, the fact that you wanted to hide it for a moment, but decided to push through that and show it to us anyway was really powerful and inspiring. Thank you so much for uploading this!

I started using ink in my sketchbooks in college and never looked back after that. Ink really forces you to level up fast and I recommend it highly to everyone.

bro i love your personality and how genuine you are, need more poeple like you

I love the dedications at the beginning of the sketch book. It sets the purpose, and I think it'll help me focus.

As an artist myself I completely understand and agree how important it is to make and show “the not so good art” it’s crazy bc I’m looking at your sketches and I’m like “those are some amazing drawing what does he mean it’s not good?” lol Anyway you have a great art style!!! Congrats on making so much progress 👏

i was watching this video and i thought it was a huge channel, fantastic quality. keep up the great work. the views and subs will come

Great video! This is how sketchbooks should look like! The good, the bad and the messy. This is real! Thank you for sharing!

Loved your tour and your comments about developing more confident mark making. Inspiring!

I enjoyed the video. Loved the style of the drawings.

Love how honest u feel abt ur progress man. It's all a personal journey so rlly "Don't be mean abt it, just do it again" 🧡

Interesting and useful friend, good stuff.

Thank you so much for sharing! It is so hard to be vulnerable, and I applaud you for it. I subscribed right away. ❤️ Love your work and it was so cool seeing your improvement over time.

your characters with glasses got them Kim Kitsuragi build and thats a good thing

underrated as hell, you're drawings are real good man

I love and appreciate getting to see all your sketches. You are super good at drawing :)

Love the honesty! Great work

I've been struggling with being my worst critic, ive been drawimg since i was young, portraits, scenery and marvel characters were my main things to draw, now as an adult im learning to draw manga/anime characters from scratch, i should use references but dont and thats why i dislike most of my art, im not as patient as i was or focused tbh, im working on changing that now and i have created a world, lore, and 20 plus characters that i have to master, i wont give up i still have a passion...

I am just learning to draw, starting with more Kawaii type stuff, drawing people intimidates me. Plus turns out wonky. But I think it is amazing you’re giving up erasing. I started with adult coloring, so I also like plants and flowers. I am also doing ‘Moriah Elizabeth’s art prompt books. But I am super eraser dependent, lol.

you dont necessarily need to use only ink, but keep the mindset and apply it to other mediums

I watercolor paint my sketches - recently did 1 month of sketching in ink! Was good for me & am going to do it again - my sketching/drawing has improved - as well as my confidence. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Some really really great lessons in here, thank you! Awesome video

Exactly what I needed to see. Thank you! I am definitely going to give this a try

Thank you for sharing, amazing process 🙌🏻✨✨✨

Great work! thanks for sharing your journey! It's helping me move forward as an older beginner!

Great content! I think in order to improve quickly as an artist, it helps to "let go" - not to say "don't try hard" - but I think the real progress comes with lots and lots of drawing as opposed to obsessing over every detail on every piece. Having a sense of humor over our "bad" art helps too! Great vibes here - new subscriber!

Just wanted to say that this was such a great video - definitely want to see more of your art! I recently bought a cheap journal that I've been doing ink only in as well for the exact same reason as you so it's inspiring to see how much you improved over the year. Do you have more art on other social media? Would love to follow you there as well!

Love your art, thank you for sharing your journey

Loved the video. I sometimes don’t sketch for days out of pure anxiety that my sketch wont turn out the way I would like it to.

Imma try it for real I struggle with anatomy so badly just subscribed

Great content, really inspiring to see your progression :)

Best thing I ever did was switch all my practice to ink only. Now my favorite medium is brush pen.

Maybe I should challenge myself to only draw with pens, too. I know I'm not confident at drawing, I keep erasing lines, I obsess with details I don't know how to draw and then I get frustrated and angry at myself. But I'm just so afraid to commit to the pen and just draw even though I make mistakes. Thank you for the encouragement, though. I do need it.

I would say is your biggest leep forward is putting yourself out there with this video, and making this type of video in it self takes a lot of nerve and courage to do BRO, never give up keep challenging yourself to grow and your art too stay safe stay blessed and always stay inspired my friend 🙏💯💪🔥💪😇!

Love your growth 👍
