redrawing EVERY SINGLE PAGE in my FIRST SKETCHBOOK?! (More than 10 Years Later!)

Over the last few weeks, I made it my goal to sit down and redraw every single page in my very first sketchbook. Maybe part of me thought it would be a challenge (which it was) maybe part of my thought it'd be fun (which most of it was) and maybe part of me just wanted to see what it would look like now? (which I did) Whatever the reasons, I did it, and now I'm sharing it with you.

It's been over ten years since I first started keeping sketchbooks and its been such a fun whirlwind of a journey. Graduating from loose-leaf paper and lined spiral-bound notebooks to a real sketchbook was both a goal and life-changing milestone for me. My art style has changed a lot and my technique is much more efficient. This whole project made me extremely introspective and I seriously am so thankful that I stuck with it. Art isn't something you make, but rather a journey that you choose to take every day. I hope you continue to walk that path and let it bring you joy.

Yes, this video took forever to make and I started it in March. XP

Me: Oh, where’s my sketchbook??
Drawing Wiff Waffles: I got you covered. Which year?

Imagine Rin’s old sketchbook in a museum and the title is: “ girl with wonky bangs looks down slightly to the left (well it’s her right but our left)”

[gwenmothaar]

"It's kinda like spending time with her again. "
Me *starts to cry a little bit *

[nopenotashley]

ok but is nobody gunna talk about the fact that the hands from her FIRST sketchbook were literally so good tho- like HOW

[jennytaylor]

I love the fact she’s using a regular pencil to show you don’t need anything special to get good at art, just hard work, and lots of practice! Don’t give up

[doodlesandnoodles]

I love that her first sketchbook is an actual sketchbook while mine is just an extra school notebook that I drew a billion unicorns in.

[runfromliv]

Why is no one talking about how good that art is for her FIRST SKETCHBOOK EVER 😳

[esorvv]

Rin in 10 years: "ugh why did I draw circles on everything"

[IsabellaMia]

Her first sketchbook: *incredible realism*

My first sketchbook: *So many deformed wolves...*

[alessia]

This is the "wow, your nails😍🤩" button😂(hope Rin see this :))

[MintysSketchbook]

I literally dropped everything to watch, this is SO creative!

[maiajanelle]

"so i changed his angle a little bit so hes like, staring at your soul no matter what"

*cute background music plays*

[aliwalsh]

I would give ANYTHING to have all my sketchbooks from the past. Its so special that u have those

[limeart]

Me: struggles to finish one page in my sketchbook
Rin: finishes half a sketchbook in one video

[monikaagarwal]

Her when she was young: *draws a perfect face*
Me when I was young: *struggles to draw a straight line with a ruler*

[scarletteh]

Dude how do you just decide to be an artist and just start drawing realism so damn good

[xaquamuffin]

I love how she doesn't really say anything bad about her past work, just thinks about how she can make it fit into her current boosted skillset

[gi.chxewon]

I thought the genie had a donut on her hair in the original drawing- 😭🤚🏽

[chelseag]

The part with your Grandma was so wholesome.
