Looking through an old sketchbook i was drawing in during my tattoo apprenticeship, there's some things i was already confident at drawing, and some things that you can see an improvement in as the sketchbook goes on. This sketchbook is from 2013/2014, so three-ish years ago. This is by no means me learning to draw - there's tonnes of sketchbooks before and after this. Never stop learning!
Thanks everyone for watching I LOVE YOU

Just because they look "cute" doesnt mean theyre good, a tattoo like that would not impress a professional, it would not get you a good rep with clients, theyre cute yes, but not good. Its not like painting on a canvas with your own interpretation and style, this is tattooing, you have to do things properly.

I wish people would stop commenting that this "made them feel bad" or "wow you call this bad?". Art is not ALWAYS about pleasing other people. A true artist sees flaws in their own creation to better themselves and their craft.. Just because she thinks her old drawings are subpar (which happen to be beautiful to us as viewers) does not mean you should feel bad about your own... I saw a comment saying "way to destroy our self esteem"? Just because she thinks her drawings were bad does not mean yours are lol. If everyone stayed humble about their art then just imagine how rare improvement would be?...

To me it's the opposite effect : watching that kind of videos makes me realize that even if I hate what I'm drawing, it doesn't necessarily look that bad to other people. Moerover, artists who show their old art and explain how much time they spent on it to be able to finally improve is an amazing boost for my confidence and my will to keep going. I'll never be thankful enough for all these great artists sharing their art on KZfaq because they inspire me so much and without them I don't think I would've had the strength to keep doing art. I really hope that one day, I will be the one who grows and blooms to inspire younger artists at last. Yups, didn't plan to pour my heart in the comment section but here I come.

They're alright overall, just not particularly good for creating a tattoo. There needs to be enough separation between the petals to allow the design room to breathe, or else it gets muddy, and busy. I've seen a lot of poorly-drawn roses turn into heads of cabbage over time. It's really hard to nail a nice rose, the subtlety, elegance, and refinement comes after hundreds of hours of drawing them. It has taken me YEARS to figure it out.

Fluffy popcorn That's not her style, that's it. There is no need to find inner meaning or to feel offended. Her purpose of drawing the roses was to make them appear realistic, that is her style. Everyone has there own way of drawing and it's fine for her to critique her own work... since it's her own work.

Am I the only one who, as a professional artist, get's SO ANNOYED by comments like "oh, it still looks good to me!". I mean, I get that thy are trying to be nice and make me feel good... but to me it says that they can't recognise quality (and omg my highschool art had NO quality, I mean, I was still just learning), and then I automatically don't trust their praise anymore? Maybe that's a bit petty... but I feel like I've worked too hard for people to put it all in the same basket, ya know? You cringing over this sketchbook means your standard and skill had raised so much because of your training and dedication. That's so awesome! Let them let you cringe xD

Hey! :) I just saw this video here and I need to comment! At the moment I am an apprentice at a tattoo shop - so it's really interesting to see how expierienced other trainees are/were at their beginning. Of course: you never stop learning! But I think your drawing-basics were already better than mine at that moment you made that sketchbook! Even better than the skills of some artists I know (with own studios!). I really like your 'style' and you seem very kind and nice. So I just wanted to say: I love your work (even if it's the apprenticeship sketchbook. I like the way you are! And I think I am able to learn things from your channel! :)

I think your sketchbook showed a good development of you growing as an artist. While you may say it’s bad, it’s good to look back at these things to see how much you improved. And yes, while the roses had some mistakes they weren’t as terrible as you may think, they still get developed differently each time you drew them. Practice makes perfect after all, and this sketchbook was from when you were an apprentice, the point of it was to learn from your mistakes.

Whoa what's with all the people commenting how it gets annoying when she says she doesn't like her roses! I know when I'm drawing I always point things about I don't like. Just because you don't think they're bad (I personally love them ❤) doesn't mean the artist doesn't. This is a video expressing how she feels about her art. So really keep those comments to yourself ❤ RANT ASIDE! I loved this video and seeing all your old art love the video! ❤

yeah i don't get the logic.... so the way i criticize my OWN work is annoying, but it's not annoying that they then criticize me for my way of criticizing it?? dumb

I love the designs where you have let yourself draw in a cuter, softer style - like the llamas, pandas, bunny ice cream and that gorgeous stag. Would you consider showing more of that kind of design in another video? I know they're not what you would generally strive for in a tattoo design but every style is valid and appeals to someone! It'd be nice to see you embrace that aspect of you artistry. Xx

You said several of these turned into paintings...I would love to see those specific paintings. I enjoyed seeing your drawings including the ones you didn't think were good enough.

Tbh you had a really good starting point for your drawings. And even when your skill level was lower, you clearly had really cool and creative ideas.

I'm not to great at drawring but I still love doing it. I do feel down quite a bit because most things don't turn out like I want them too. I hope you keep up your great work because you inspire me

I get the impression that you spend a lot of time and didn't rush, with the quality of the drawings at such an early stage.
