It never ceases to amaze me how some people can do things like this at young ages. I started learning how to draw earlier this year, haha. I would like to see more :).

I loved your face at the part where you said AGH I CANT DRAWWWW

I want to be a professional artist. I am 15 and I started to take my drawings seriously 3 years ago. I go to a school where the art teacher doesn't really help or doesn't exactly challenge me the way I want to. I try to practice everyday by watching your art videos to be inspired because you really inspire me❤️ I gave up on the idea of trying to rely on someone else to help me get my style and what I want to do, but when I clicked on your "draw my life" it really opened my eyes because you were also struggling with teachers, but you eventually found one that really helped. I'm attempting to try self teaching to open my options:) I also struggle SO much in math because I can't focus because I always am caught doodling! Is that normal for aspiring artists? I really like your videos! Thanks❤️

You always mention such interesting things in your videos! I literally paused the video and did 15 solid minutes of research on the novel of bambi.

The Match Girl is really beautiful. But, it brought tears to my eyes at certain parts.

I need to see more ! This has already given me so much inspiration! Thank you. 😊😊😊😀😃😄

1:12 cracked me up. Bad.😂😂😂😂😂

That's great, thank you... I just took up drawing last week.. and have like 13 pages of drawings.. it is a new journey for me.. thank you for sharing yours.. :) .... I am teaching myself to draw because I have the best magical dreams... walking through a cave when a child unicorn runs past me and laughs.. kind of dreams.. that I want to capture... .... then yesterday 2 symbols upon the ground lay... a coiled snake... and a curved M.. I am going to add them to my sketch book, since you showed the value of saving them....

Is it just me? I HATE coloring in my drawings. I only use pencil to color in my drawings and people don't like that I do that but idc!! Like if u do it too

your vois is beautiful and its the first time i see one of your videos!

Thank you for sharing your art and for creating this channel!! I have enjoyed your videos so much and my daughter does as well!

This made me feel a lot better about my art. you normally see so many talented artists on KZfaq and instantly want to draw like them but seeing stuff like this reminds me that everyone starts somewhere.

Seems like you were a kid or a teenager in the 90s? What were some of your favorite bands? I'm interested in a lot of 90s bands, so yea, I'm just curious :) thanks

Do any of you look through the comments while listening to the video

Please show more of your sketches. It's so cool to see a person's story through their art.

It is always nice to see the progression of an artist. Especially as a newbie...to see that you are not the only one with the struggles you are currently having. To see that someone else had the same struggles and overcame them. Thank you! These are AMAZING!!

I love seeing artists old sketshbooks, like the really old ones from early teen years. Im only 14 and sometimes get a bit disapointed when my art doesn't turn out the way I want. Aaaanyway, seeing that artists I admire werent always so good. Really makes me feel good of myself and gives Ideas of what to draw.

I LOOOVVEEE seeing your sketchbooks!! I especially loved the drawing of the girl with braided hair pulling back the curtains.

I LOVE your comical attitude!!! "Feel the BURN!!!!" You crack me up! Love, Love, Love your videos!!! Thanks for being an inspiration to all!

I think your drawings and scratch books are very inspiring, thank you for making these videos for your subscribers

Loved this, it was so interesting and inspiring to see. I have only recently discovered your channel, I'm really enjoying going through all your videos. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing more. =)

Love them! Keep putting more up,... It's so inspiring to keep chugging along.

It's cool to see the beginnings.. I have almost if not all of my old sketchbooks starting from my early 20s (I'm 68 now) and I go thru them occasionally. It's amazing how the results go up and down and all around, but usually a bit more up each revolution. I'm looking at your stuff and thinking I can surely see the sprouts of your beautiful work now. I definitely saw your up and down and all around too! What fun!!!

I know this video is old but its new to me I juat found you. I juat wanted to say that this was such a fun video to watch. ;)

Val, You are too hard on yourself. Even your very old stuff is better than my current stuff and I am 48 yrs. old today (Happy Birthday to me!). You obviously had a natural talent from the beginning and have continued to grow as an artist. You do beautiful work now, and you did beautiful work back then! Thanks so much for sharing, it was really fun to see what you liked to draw. I LOVED the fairies! Hugs and prayers, Maureen

Really enjoying your videos and lot of Laughs with you 😀. I admire your talent very much. Thanks for all the vids 👍

This has To be my favourite video from your channel. It gives me hope of learning to draw. Thanks for sharing your early stuff with us!!! Xxx

this is really inspiring. Thank u for sharing your sketchbooks with us. I have recently started drawing and to be honest right now i am at the basics and not very good. so seeing ur sketches motivates and inspires me that practice makes perfect. Someday i also want to be a great artist like u

I draw wolves and when my mom said wanna keep these I'm just like😳yes! Because I embarrassed to show her the drawing I have did

All of this drawings are so pretty I got so inspired to go back and redraw one of my first drawings and compare what I've improved thank you

My drawing interests in my life:::: PreK-1st: Family and my mom..... 2nd-4th: Anime and dogs...... 5th-Now: Cartoons, Steven Universe, still life, and hands 11:57 LAPIS LAZULI?!?!?! STEVEN UNIVERSE AHHHH IM LAME!!!!!

Oh thank you so much for sharing! I now have hope as my current horses look similar to your earlier horses so if I keep at it - I will get better. I try to draw at least one thing every day, if not more. I will definitely be keeping my sketchbooks and when I feel as though I am being defeated by a particular subject I will go through and review my progress. Again, thank you, you are a great teacher - even if you are an entire ocean away! (I might draw that?)

Was referred by simple art for adults ❤️ she gives you high praise! So happy to be here, I can’t wait to see what all you have to teach me ❤️ I am a newbie and appreciate every single video you all share! Thank you in advance 😉

This was so much fun to watch! It's so refreshing to know every great artist was once an amateur, it is hard not to compare my own art to the greatness if others but that is what keeps me motivated to do better :)

Omg need more!! Btw I love listening to your voice

Thank you sooo much! You have helped me make great things and you are SUCH an inspiration and its just, so much help and you are slow when you do the how to other than people who are like this and this and oh yeah *THAT* really fast and you make it better and easier for me to try to draw with you other than pausing and then unpausing, you have been such an inspiration for me so thank you so much!

'Random anime girl singing' I love how you said that

I am your big fan. Your pictures are fabulous and I just love them

Haha! I totally enjoyed your "frustration" sketch!!! It shows us all how an artist does make mistakes, and yet gets better and better over time with trial and error. :D

Oh I LOVE your RED HORSE! such a beautiful drawing!

Thank you, you are such an inspiration to me, after this I will never throw away my drawings again :3 thanks.

Wow .. huts are so beautiful and shading of horse is awesome too 😊

do more sketchbook tours!! i love having them on as a background while i draw!!

your very inspiring, I'm going to keep my art books from now on THX 😀 😀😀

more please! Unfortunately...all of mine, are gone :( Water damaged

I really the sketchbook videos!! Very inspirational! Love you Art ala Cart!!😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🤗

You look so perfect! Perfect lipstick color by the way! You are an AWESOME artist! You deserve 1,000,000,000,000 Subscribers

This video is actually what made me put effort into keeping a traditional sketch book and not just my digital collection. I filled up my first one last year even if it meant pasting in doodles i had on loose leaf paper and I am fairly close to filling another. I actually love how your anime girls look very Ah! My Goddess like I think if you had married the two styles of that and Disney it would've been beautiful!

Lol "feel the burn" I LOVE IT! I have so much good ideas but I can never find the time to draw besides they never come out right but I love your sketch books!

i love ur sketchbook reveiws plz make another! !!

I really enjoy your art journals they are really neat.

xDDD FEEL THE BURN And I would totally like to see more of your sketchbooks It's nice to see how you improved through the years uvu

Hi, I love your videos, your such an amazing drawer!! Can't wait to see your next vid... u r so talented!!!!!

Please make another I enjoyed this so much!!!!

I am so glad to hear this, so true. I wanted a rip pages out, things were awful. Trying to learn to draw!!Thank you for this information. Now lets watch your show your stuff!

I think your old drawings are amazing! but you got better as you grew,so your new art is better

that was great! gives me hope! love your sense of humor!

I have started drawing, and after a year I decided to get a sketchbook, but I haven't been keeping up with it. I love drawing animals! As a reference for a drawing of a kitten, I took pictures of my cat, and felt his shoulders as he walked, since that was going to be a main part. I didn't do the drawing, but I am planning to! I'm not really good at keeping up with these types of things, but I really enjoy drawing. Although I can't draw humans. That's a no-no, friends see my animal drawings and ask me to draw them, and I just reply with, "So, do you want an eggplant of an arm and the muscles of a cat?" I am picking up manga though, and it's really fun!

I have improved drawing horses wolfs and deer now I really wanna be an artist when I grow up!

I always doodled on everything! I ended up ripping the good sketches I liked (at the time) out of my sketchbook and threw them into a binder haha! I plan to pick up sketching again!

Ive been looking for 1 specific artist to help explains things to me and your are it ive,only been watch your videos for an hour and I already fell,in love keep it up

you make me so happy everytime! you know... i think i can draw good too and everytime i look at your drawings i can draw better! everytime im bored i just look at your videos! and you make me very happy! you are an artist! keep drawing! :)

This was so fun go watch i would definitely like to see more

you have amazing advice :) honesly, i am very picky on everything and i would always throw away all my "terrible" drawings. so this video helped me to keep my drawings. and with your advice i can look back to drawings from years ago :) thank you! subscribed.

I love you and your drawing's💗

You share a LOT of really good advice!!

this is the first time I've seen one of your vids and even at a young age you draw really good

I collect Breyer model horses and base some drawings off of them, too! I only have two vintage ones but that is fine. I AM ABSOLUTELY HORSE CRAZY!!!

I want to see all of the sketch books!!!

You were born the same year as my older brother, you have the same first name as my mother, and, like me, you also draw. I have deeply (not really) connected you to me in three ways, so you have a new subscriber! lol

Omg u where so good from the start, I'm can't even draw that well now lol

That is the oldest sketchbook that I ever seen on KZfaq!!!!!!,way back at the 90s

Please make more sketchbook videos, i really enjoyed it! :)

Your voice is very hypnotic!!!!!!!

totally loved it!!

I love your videos and your art I neeeed more of these vids because they are soooooo inspiring

Thank you for sharing, helps in so mini ways. Because of life, i had stopped drawing for about 30 years, always thou wanting to get back into it. Now that i have some free time, i have. You've. Been a hugh inspiration for me. Thanks again. Dave Badger.

you've inspired me so much!!! I'm gonna stop wasting time writing this comment and go get a sketchbook and get to work!! ;)

Thank you so much for sharing, it's really inspiring! And more sketchbook videos are always good! :)

I have come to realize watching videos like this, that many artists were better at drawing in their early years than me now. And many ppl complain about them and here i am like "when i started my drawings could pretty much resemble meme faces!!" XD

hello Valerie i was wondering can you draw a wolf howling on a rock it will mean so much for me

Amazing drawings

I love this video! Its so encouraging for me to keep drawing :-)

omg my sister was born on January 11, 1995... really gorgeous artwork btw!!! :)

I also feel like a sketch book is like a personal journal,I don't like when other people look through my sketch book because it's personal and I'm more of a well I draw how I feel and some are quite sad/dark especially a few of them from last year when I was in a dark place and I hate it when people/my brother steals my sketch book.

I love collecting model horses!
