so i did a poll on what to post next, and an unfinished sketchbook tour won by a tiny margin! π· i have so many unfinished mixed media & watercolour sketchbooks, so today we’re doing a chatty sketchbook flip through βοΈ grab some tea & get cosy because it’s a bit of a chunky one β
i have a bit of a cold so my voice is a bit funny, hope you don’t mind :'(
i’m going to try to post a christmas-y, cosy art vlog/sketch with me this month, but if i don’t manage to post again this year, i hope you all have a lovely christmas/holiday season!! π
take care, and see you in the next videoo ππ·

sorry i sound like an absolute gremlin & for the abrupt ending! i had a bit of a cold and lost my outro footage :'(π·do you have any art supplies on your christmas wishlist? or any creative goals for 2023? β
π – FIND YOUR LOVE HERE π₯πsπ
Wow your style is absolutely stunning. The colours, composition, all of it. I love it. I swear Im watching all these art channels and everyone has such a beautiful and striking style that makes me jealous! I dont have a style at all. Anyway, i really enjoyed this video. Your paintings are soothing and have a slight fairytale feel to them. Gentle, subdued and just beautiful. I especially love any of your paintings that were of or had flowers in them. They remind me a little of this slight gothic illustration style my Brothers Grimm book has. Beautiful work and a pleasure to look at
These, my friend, are not sketchbooks.
These are books full of mesmerizing illustrations! β¨
Now I'd love to learn color mixing so much more than before ππ§‘
ahh i need to get back into filling out sketchbooks- i especially love your mixed media spreads, thereβs something really charming and lively about them,,
I immediately recognized the Chinese mythology style thingy from your pfp. Also when you were flipping through the pages early on. Then you confirmed my suspicion. Love your paintings β€
Good job
Hello π
Beautiful paintings Annabella! I really enjoyed your tours, your art is beautiful. Hope you're better xx
Wow! Your work is absolutely lovely! I love your style of sketching as well. The first book you showed was like a storybook. I love it all!
Love your nature paintings!
Nice sketchbook tour video. I really like the swatches at 14:55. Beautiful colors, thank you for sharing! π
Absolutely Fierce and full of Colour! Iβm very much interested in learning more from your videos as I recently was introduced to your channel by watching a sculpture tutorial to further my skills but this video just had me dreaming of all the New Orleans architecture and Full of Color French Quarter which I have been enjoying for the last 6 yrs since moving here from Cali and now we updated love to do some watercolor and ink pen but hope you can give us a particular list of pencils and ink pens that would b good to start off with as Iβm blown away by your skills and Congratz on all these one of a kind drawings and inspirations youβve shared with us. Have A blessed Holiday and Happy New Year!!! Btw not all faces are perfectly aligned so donβt b so hard on yourself when youβve drawn and created beautiful characters as they all have their own beauty π
So glad I found your channel! Beautiful art
I truly enjoyed looking into your sketchbook, all the clips you shared and all of your your artwork (polished pieces, spelling errors and all!) what did you use for the highlights on the woman in your TikTok video that went viral? At 6:04
Thanks for sharing with the art community π
