an art vlog for slow artists ✧ drawing portraits, realistic sketchbook flipthrough, paper art haul

An art vlog full of sketchbook sessions and painting process snippets, the conflict of filming for YouTube VS focusing on creating more art, and a paper art haul. Also: I flip through all the ugly parts of my sketchbook... If you're a slow artist (like me!) or just want a calm art vlog to sketch along with, I hope we can talk about celebrating each part of creating an illustration, from rough composition sketches to final details. ❤️ I'm painting more Silmarillion inspired art, sketch new vampire portrait ideas, and learn how to mount my finished paintings...
