The neck piece with the frog, snail, toadstools with crystal is going to be so awesome!! Can't wait to see the finished piece!

This was lovely to watch! Love your work, the way you talked about the sketches sounded more like you were showing us a scrapbook of memories from the time. You can hear the smile in your voice as you flip through, seriously lovely video.

You have such a beautiful attitude towards each drawing! So positive, and inspiring. I hope you come to the states so i can get the opportunity to be tattooed by you. Also the foxes you tattoo are too cute! (-:

i absolutely love your art, its actually inspiring af

Your animals are amazing! Love the subtle color shadings and fur effects. True artistry!

Gosh, i love your designs

Wow I love those they are beautiful 💛

Your illustrations are so fresh and in just few years your style evolved so much! Beautiful sketchbook

Thank you for showing this sketchbook! It is the first one in a long time that really inspired me to get deeper into a new design style. I recently started designing my tattoo and the one of a friend and already got offers to sell designs, and it's really good to see your process and line of thought! It's really really good.

I love the deer one!

I love how you have your own style and it’s really cute

Thanks for sharing your creativity! Makes me feel i'm on the right track with my own drawing :). Keep up the good work and hope everything goes well with your shop :).

You´re such an inspiration for me I´m trying to learn to tattoo at my 34 and it´s been a hard experience so far! but very rewarding and fullfilling and I´m hoping that some day I could have the succes that you´re having! you deserve it so much! hugs from Spain! Love your work!

That Kali backpiece is badass!!!

You're such an inspiration. Loving your style! Beautiful

LOVE that dragon-ish design near the start

Yay!!! I was so excited to see the sketch of my dogs again. Can't wait to get the painting and for my trip to the UK to get it tattooed.

I absolutely love your work! It's so whimsical and elegant. If I find myself across the pond I would love to get something done by you.

love it !

Omg I love your work😍💓

I loveeee your tattoo style!

I absolutely love your style! I don't always like flowers but yours are beautiful, and all the little animals are adorable! Glad I found your channel ^_^

Hey Holly, I'm an aspiring tattoo artist working towards my apprenticeship, and you've really inspired me to actually take the time on my sketchbook portfolio and my work in general and to push my comfort zone. I've actually been reworking some of my tattoo designs and trying to do styles that vary from my own. I'm getting there slowly.

Great video! Really neat to get a look at your artistic process. Simply beautiful 💖💖💖

I can't wait to be old enough and tattooed by you your work is beautiful 😍😘

The bird's a nuthatch! Stunning work!

I love your work, especially the composition and coloring! My favorite artists all seem to be in different countries lol.

wow, you are such an amazing artist.😲

Ah! Shout out to my lil Victorian gal! So chuffed for you with your new shop Holly!!

jeez, so talented... I love your style, I'd love to get tattood by you someday

I luv your style!! I find it very inspiring... I hope I can be as good as you one day

This is my second time watching this video. I a. Sure you get this alot, however, your work is gorgeous. Your positive attitude is so refreshing too.

So talented. That Kali tattoo looks exactly like Kelly Eden 😱

Love this

I wish I had a talent. You are awesome.

i love ur art so much

I love these roses and peonies :) xx

Great video. Sick book.

How long have you been tattooing and how much were the start up costs for shop?

Your art is amazing! So inspired to do some sketching now! :)

I would love to get tattooed by you I'm from America though :( but I'd definitely travel for that kind of tattoo work!

Gosh, I've had a back of the neck piece idea on my mind for a long time and I would absolutely love to have you do it but unfortunately I don't live in the UK. If I ever get the chance to visit I'll definitely come to your shop!

I'm so glad I've clicked on this video. You're so talented! I would definitely choose you for one of my tattoos. 💜🦇

Didn't know you were a tattoo artist thought you just did videos. Nice work.

Great sketchbook 👍

Would you ever consider making a colouring book? I would buy it, I love your designs so much!! :)

holly u are such an amazing artist so inspiring. love how u share ur art,ill definitely take tips from u. id love to getsomething done by you would be mind blowing if i did

where can you buy this type of sketchbook? I love how it lays flat

That samurai mouse and bunny are so cute

Hi, I’m aspiring to be a tattoo artist and I’m on my last year of my alevels. Could you give be any advice on what to start drawing first and how to draw flashes thanks x

Your like an artist but better

@holly astral how do you know or remember what colors to use in your pallete by head ? I see you make a sketch with only lines and shades, but how did you get to the point of being intuitive with colors, are there any tricks or tips in how to train myself ? atm i always sketch but then i spend at least an hour or 2 extra in coloring it in, thanks in advance

what brand is that sketchbook you have?

Why are all flash designs always sketched with red ( in general )b? Does the color play any importance or is irrelavant

Is there a purpose to doing your line work/sketches in the red or blue?

I really love your color style but since a lot of the colors are pastel how do they heal over time? Do they fade like white?

your videos are super helpful! i'm currently an art student but i'm finally hoping to start my tattooing career very soon! thank you for such wonderful content 💗

Good morning Holly! I ve been watching your videos for a while! Love your work and your intention to share it :) .. So I have a question about how can I turn a line work sketch draw to a full shade or colours tattoo? Should I do the full draw with color pencil or shade it with my pencils and after do a sketch line work for the stencil? Or just do a line work draw with ink markers as you do and freestyle the shades with a reference pic?. It may be bit confusing sorry about it 😅 but hope you can help me with it I am learning by myself that would be so helpful! Thanks a lot in advance. I love your neck tattoo btw 😄👌🏻

You said you came to Doncaster,where is your shop?? 😍

Please post the rest?:)

I have that same exact zelf! :D *I'm laaaaaate lol*

what sketchbook is this ?

Wow....

Very random but what's the name of the purple little doll on the table?

Your work is so beautiful and intricate, so I have a question I've always been curious about: I'd love to get some tattoos, but I know that all I'd want would be plain text/quotes, so how would you recommend I find an artist for that? Would you be offended if someone asked for some super simple text, when you can do all of these complex, beautiful drawings?

Will you ever be taking on an apprentice now that you have your own shop?

Love your art so much. Holly I know you are busy and understand if you can't respond. I wanted to ask what pencils you use for sketching and where can I get me some lol! So happy for you getting your tattoo business together. I wish you every success Xx

How did you learn to draw?

Why do artists tend to draw in red or blue colored pencil ?

Did school have any importance in your art caree?

I ❤ the hedgehog xx

Where did you get that sketchbook?

Is there a special reason they’re all drawn in red or blue? Xx

When can you tattoo me

I love your peony/all flowers tattoos sketches I’d love u to tattoo them on me

Hi Holly! I have a question for you (and for everybody else who reads this and knows more about it). I've asked a couple of artists I know this question, and I'd love to hear your opinion on this topic! What would help more when working on sketches/a portfolio and ultimately (hopefully) finding an apprenticeship: developing your own style and using that to build your portfolio? Or practice drawing a bunch of different styles, even though you might suck at some of them, to add some diversity to your portfolio? Right now I'm trying to do a bit of everything, but I feel like that kind of stops me from finding my own style.

You beautiful both ways, but I miss your dreads ❤️

I really want to get tattooed by you because I love your personality and I feel like I would be really comfortable being tattooed by you. I have hundreds of ideas but I've never had the courage to get any tattoos at all because I'm very socially anxious and not that I'm judgemental but heavily modified men can often come across as quite mean and scary. Even though I know a few and they're all pussy cats but the idea of going into a tattoo shop with my girly clothes and having no tattoos of my own really scares me. I feel like I stick out in that atmosphere! I'm very much into black and white tattoos on myself though and although I love your colourful designs they're not really "me" do you do black and grey stuff as well?

Are you still gonna be doing tattoos when I’m 27 I’m 13 at the moment 💃😀

five seconds in, had to go buy a pink clip cord

A cat with Lilly’s makes sense Beautiful pice though

713

I so wish that I could be tattooed by you... but the Atlantic Ocean is just too wide... 😔

About the previous comment you are a great tattoo artist I just tell it as I see it it happening all over ther is not to many tattoo shops left a tattoo shop is like classic tattoos in the USA Tim Hendricks that is a tattoo shop that is why I say this is not a tattoo shop you are to nice to have a tattoo shop tattoo shops are shady you are not shady so I would call it a tattoo boutique not a tattoo shop a tattoo shop is like mark mahoney says is we’re the elite and the underworld meet

Hello from Lancashire beautiful

think the bird was a Nuthatch :)

You call that sketching loosely XD Wanna see how I do it? It's so abstract, you can't even recall it being anything hhhahaha xd I'm confusing AF

Can't see some of them sketches. The camera needed to be closer to the pages.

It’s a beautifull tattoo studio but it’s not a tattoo shop it’s lost the mystic of a tattoo shop a tattoo shop is a place we’re you go to get a tattoo traditional walk in and you don’t do a consultation It’s like a flower shop if you want flowers this is were you go what is happening to the tattoo world it’s finished I’d be scared to go in ther so no offence you are a nice lady but this is not a tattoo shop it’s a studio

what sketchbook is this ?
