When I said I get 6,000 comments a day asking for sketchbook tours... that was an exaggeration but you get the point. I hope you like the video. I don't always love filming these honestly but it makes me happy that you guys seem to really like em. AND THAT'S the real talk.

In the words of my 8 year old daughter, "she can do whatever she wants here, it's her channel!" Thanks for sharing your sketchbook. Keep 'em coming.

I would pay to see a Ghibli film entirely animated in your style

[EveBolt]

I'll forever be in awe and puzzled by people who have all pretty pages in their sketchbooks. (You know what I mean). Mine are a bunch of scribbles and a billion faces in the same angle 😅

The cows at 1:23 are literally the cutest thing ever ahhh

*You've mentioned Strathmore mixed media sketchbooks being your favorite, several times. Recently I thought, what the heck...let's try one out..see what all the fuss is about. I NOW UNDERSTAND. ♥ (your sketchbook tour was divine, btw).*

Fellow artist, so I totally feel you on the not loving everything in our sketchbooks, but omfg, I love every page in here 😍

[KiquyPham]

Your sketchbook is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing 💓

[riyanjinssi]

the first sketchbook that i ever finish (bc i mostly left my sketchbooks unfinished lol) took me almost 4yrs to complete >.< btw, i enjoyed this sketchbook tour and i love your arts <333

[BurningLilac]

I love your art! It makes me feel so happy and light hearted to see it ❤️. I hope one day you delve into animation b/c I feel like your style would lend itself rly well to expression and movement.

Dear Leigh. Your sketchbook tours are fun and enjoyable to watch. The commentary is just fine, don’t worry about it. I’ve watched this three times already! Thank you 😊

I personally really enjoy sketchbook tours that avoid a narrative formula. I mean, I'll still watch them, I watch every sketchbook tour that is ever suggested to me by YT. But I have a harder time focusing on the ones that just tell you what is on the page. This sketchbook tour is as much for you as it is for the audience. You have the spotlight to reflect on the techniques you used...what you hoped to work on, what you worked on instead, what you learned, what you didn't care for. Where you were when you drew certain things (physically and maybe even mentally). When you go through a sketchbook and describe your personal journey through it, I think that's what really hooks people in. it doesn't have to be super personal either! I've watched some were people tell stories of a time in their life, and some where they just crack jokes about their art. But most importantly, make these tours just as much about your experience while doing the videos <3

the real question is, how does anyone NOT have a million unfinished sketchbooks lying around?? it might just be my art supply addiction talking but there’s nothing better in this whole darn plane of existence than getting a brand-new sketchbook in the mail and NO ONE can convince me otherwise😤✨

anyways, this video really helped with my art block! out of all the sketchbook tours i’ve seen, yours always motivate me the most <3

[JacquelinDeleonart]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who takes two years for a sketchbook! It was so cute seeing the Future painting you did again!! I love it much! I also get so overwhelmed trying to paint outside, like I forget what light and color is completely :( omg those black cats at the end are amazing thanks for sharing!

[paige]

i watched one of your older sketchbook tours just a few days ago and you’ve improved so much!! i’m so proud of u and you’ve really inspired me ever since i was young!!

[limjean]

I think this is one of the best sketchbook tours, you go through it at the right speed which is not too slow

[alittlefella]

D: but I loved the one you didn't like most, and also the loose ones with the Halloween cats in the back!! I want those as stickers so bad haha

[nicholewade]

I love the little inktober bunny! So adorable! :)

[curiousorigins]

Those hand twirls are exactly what I do, anytime I show anybody anything. I think I watched too much “The Price is Right” when I was little. 😂

I tend to abandon sketchbooks too. Though usually it’s because I like what’s going on in it and I don’t want to ruin it. 😂 I liked pretty much everything on there all bright and colorful.

Thanks for sharing. 😊

Okay but your voiceovers are my favorite? Love this

[melaniebadger]

oh happy day! Your videos are the best. Love the sketchbook tour and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Halloween cat scream painting.
