This sketchbook is absolutely gorgeous- and I wanted to ask- do you have any tips for applying to calarts/ tips for creating a good sketchbook? Thank you- and good luck!
Snowy Thank you!! I‘m no expert on sketchbooks but after looking at a bunch of other calarts sketchbooks for the last four years, there’s some things that I feel need to be included:
Literal stuff to include:
- life drawing (nude and people in environments)
- environment studies
- animal studies
- layouts/concepts
- character exploration
- movement studies
Stuff you should demonstrate you can do:
- draw characters that have a sense of movement/life
- create and draw solid objects that work in a three dimensional space
- understand perspective
- understand anatomy (preferably not just of humans) they like skeletal studies for that.
- push shape and form to make unique characters
- use a variety of mediums. You can focus on a few as a specialty like me with my fineliners and don’t worry about colour too much. Understanding value is much more important.
- tell a story. It can be as short as a single frame or as long as a full length storyboard!
- develop your work from studies into explorations and more creative ideas. For example the tree people in my yellow book. I drew the trees then created characters based on them then drew the characters interacting with each other.
^^^ I feel this may be one of the most important yet overlooked points - people can be incredibly talented technically but it doesn’t offer much if the sketchbook lacks flowing ideas and is more like random scattered, undeveloped doodles.
Other stuff to be aware of:
- don’t worry about how your stuff looks!! Be experimental and loosen up. A sketchbook isn’t for finished work (I know mine has a lot of polished pages and I’m worried about that - don’t be like me)
- they want to see the inner workings of your brain. Write notes/diagrams/connect points and build on previous ideas. Cross stuff out but don’t hide it. Maybe comment on what you just drew with a post-it.
- they want to be able to see *you* through the book. If you keep in mind that by the end of looking through your sketchbook, the admissions person should have a decent idea of who you are, your interests, your home, your personality then you’ll be on the right track. I tried to focus mostly on my life in rural England and my travels.
Hope this helps! I might edit this comment if I think of more points.
Meppity thank you so much for such the thoughtful comment!! I’ll definitely keep all of these things in mind while I’m applying next year!!
@@Meppity this is so helpful, thank you! seems like I still need a lot of practice but your sketchbook is honestly really inspiring! Good luck on your art journey! :-)
@Keep Rocking! it's a college, let them go there, and don't use all caps like it's the only option.
@Keep Rocking! College isn't just learning how to "art" - It's also a fantastic place to establish connections with people already in the industry and to meet the next generation of artists. It also provides students with the space to experiment and develop themselves without the concern of losing a job. It's not for everyone but it's what I want.
This was like an art museum that you could flip through
Yes!
Indeed
this makes me feel unaccomplished and i’m not even an artist, i’m a bloody pianist.
Kim Jong Un loollll
why is this me lmao
I thought you were ded
Tabish Rahman
i am reincarnated
I’m a bloody person
5 pages of hedgehogs and not a single sonic
Finn Inmon truly a sin.
'' Reality is often dissapointing''
Was definitely expecting a small one somewhere
This is STUNNING. You're amazing !!! heh
Edit: i stopped halfway through the video to comment because i was already excited about this- but the plant characters are my favorite- i love drawing plants i find then trying to make characters out of them and you just nailed it on the head :>>>
Was not expecting to see a wild GingerPale roaming through this comment section🤣
My jaw dropped the minute you started. Your artwork is amazing! The diversity, the colour, the style; everything about it had me hanging on to your every page turn. No single person’s artwork has wowed me like this in a long time! Keep doing your amazing work, you’ve earned a very enthusiastic new subscriber 😁
I can see how long he/she has trained her self to improve her drawing. I admire him/her.
Damn you were actually overqualified.😂 I've never seen an interactive sketchbook!
This is one of the most creative sketchbooks I've ever seen. Nice job.
at first i was like "Wow this is freaking amazing, i can't imagine how long this took."
THEN
THEN
SHE PULLED OUT A *SECOND* SKETCHBOOK
and i was like
"are u friggin kiddin me?"
I thought the same.
Also, she must have already spent hundreds/thousands of hours to get to this level.
she finished the first sketchbook and i got an ad, thought it was over but saw this comment, fuckin a SECOND?!
As a Calartian, I've seen a lot of character animation sketchbooks and this one looks fantastic. I truly hope you get it, because you display a lot of amazing work that I see at my school. Let us know the results! Good Luck!
Fawn Quinn heya! Just letting you know I got accepted! See you there in September 😱
@@Meppity I had no doubt that you wouldnt get accepted. I knew right from the first page, but didnt want to jump then gun. I'm so happy for you. Congrats and enjoy your time at calArts! I'll be around to look for your art!
Do all sketchbooks look like this one or is this mkre top tier than others?
It took me about 30 minutes to watch this video. I needed to pause and admire every page! I loved it!
Me too!
Me too
I saw a rejected sketchbook and thought: Hmm, that's really good. Why would Calarts reject that?
Then I saw yours.
Bru I legit felt like nothin after seeing this level of art 😂😂😂😂😂🤯
There's a reason they're one of the best art schools, they tend to like a lot of variety and that's why I think most people get rejected
Right. I think this convinced me not to apply.
Apply anyway! The worst they can say is no right?
@@lartisteautravail idk if it's too late now but just go for it! If you never try you'll never know
Amazing work! I love the characterization you did of the hedgehogs and trees! Also I appreciate you doing your part ;) 7:40. Wishing you the best of luck ! 💖
Magicalgiraffe lol 399 likes. Nice.
I don't think you'll even last through your second year at calarts before you get scooped out, its good to make connections but with what you already know combined with a year and a half there you can probably jump right into the industry even just now you could definitely make a living doing freelance work. calarts has a lot to teach you but those student loans pile up fast and industry experience is going to teach you just as much as the school will. Try to prioritize the people you need there because that's what'll matter when you're out, i love your stuff and i can tell you'll be doing great thigns real soon!
also honestly i would buy at least that first track if you put it somewhere
I completely agree, this kind of level of talent should already be working in the industry!!
you made the music too? that's some real talent. do you have a soundcloud or bandcamp? also, i think you'll make it to calarts. your stuff is great.
I did! I unfortunately don't have soundcloud, bandcamp etc because I haven't made any finished pieces of music lol.
@@Meppity How was the music made? It would be great to see a video or something on your music creating process if it would be okay!
@@Meppity it soudns like something out of Stars vs the forces of eveil amazing its my fave cartoon
This makes me want to burn my sketchbook in the backyard
mood
same
Wow, where did you learn to do all this? I mean... you have a level of a art student and you’re barely 17. You’re already very good at anatomy, character design and colouring. How did you get to that level when you were only 17?
tham QDC practice I suppose! And a lot of love for the subject :))
Ikr? I've been practicing nearly every day since I was little, I do life and gesture drawings often, and yet I'm nowhere near this level. I'm decent, but not even close to this good. I can color really well but that doesn't help if the sketch looks like garbage :/
What's QDC practice? You did ALL this just by practicing and sheer love for art?!?! That's it?!?!?!
Attila Mityok - “tham QDC” is the name of the account lol.
@@Meppity Ah I see lol. Thanks! So because you love art so much, your able to do all this?! Do you think anyone can be this good just by practicing? What if no matter how hard I try or how much I practice my art, it will never be as good as yours for example? Even with the help of an art teacher?
who else is both inspired and terrified ?
I always thought that I would never get into Calarts because of thier high standards, but as I watch this video, your book inspired me to try it out when I get the chance next time! Thank you so much!
@Keep Rocking! What sort of online places would you recommend?
@Keep Rocking! Have you tried any one of them? I considered doing animation mentor but decided to try to apply for art schools instead but I'm having second thoughts on that too now. It seems like you work in the animation field or at least went to art school, did you?
@Keep Rocking! What do you mean by all around designer? Lol I'm new to animation so I don't know much yet as you can tell
@Keep Rocking! What about if I want to learn 2d animation first?
@Keep Rocking! Thanks!
How to get into Calarts:
Already be at a professional level with a highly diverse set of skills.
Got it.
Why would you pay them for an education when you're already this motivated and skilled? It makes no sense.
I guess you can make pretty good connections with important people. Also getting more chances to be an employee of Disney/pixar or so.
it’s for connections and more opportunities, she’d only need to go there for maybe a year or two before she gets a job in the industry and doesn’t need to work there anymore
@@lartisteautravail you're so right, sadly.
lartisteautravail So true. It sucks that people who are truly gifted are less likely to get any opportunities compared to a rich kid who’s parents buy their way into success.
@@lartisteautravail yep and being on a country with a little appreciation to arts. Where art majors are underpaid and not valued enough, only few good art schools but are REALLY expensive, there's hardly any art job opportunities here esp for animators. Being a realistic enough, Working for big companies and studios such as Pixar is really impossible here unless you leave the country and have a good access of art education (which is not the case for most of us here)
And yeah, I was forced to take another course that's why watching things like this cheers me up. Still hoping that I could still pursue art c:
I feel compelled to comment! This is definitely the best sketchbook tour I've ever seen for calarts. There are sketches, finished compositions, and personal style. It really sums up your art in a very visually pleasing way! You also blend colors excellently! I hope my sketchbook tours progress to be as experimental and well thought as yours!
im using so many exclamation marks lmao but u get the point
I want to have one...Don't you :)
YASSSS THE ART GODDESS HAS BEEN ACCEPTED!!!!!!CONGRATS ON THE ACCEPTANCE AND HOPE TO SEE YOUR FUTURE FILMS ON WHATEVER COMPANY THAT TAKES YOU(If they don't take you,I'll hunt them down with a sword)
Okay, I didn't read the description at all and throughout the thing I assumed you were a senior at calarts showing your sketchbook for that year, and I am now just so shocked, your sketches are top notch my dude, amazing work, you're definitely making it in 👏👏👏
Ikr, and only 17!! 😭 Gah! I'm 15 I have 2 years to get my act together
@@sf.jellyfish7813 im 19 and this video personally exploded my femurs she's so good oml
Diana Gonzalez I thought that too! Incredible ❤️
@@sf.jellyfish7813 hey it’s been two years, how are you doing now?
@@cryptical1210 holy smokes! And yeah its going super well, im super lucky to live in australia where covid has barely affected where I am so I've been able to go to school for the past year :) im in my last year of highschool and I've won multiple art awards at my school, painted murals and now im working on my final art major 😎 i occasionally post my stuff on my instagram :^) @sf.jellyfish
You could sell copies of this like seriously this is something I would buy
OMG, that's amazing artwork! I love it! ♥
Dani!! Sorpresa encontrarte por acá
Vaya Vaya...a Quien tenemos aquí?
Hi Dani
Dani Parker uste que hace aqui xdd
omg the "and now... the traffic report" page at 2:08 made me smile so much :)
I'm sitting here going "what" every time you turn the page because I'm so surprised at everything I see. It's as if you can draw literally anything! I've shared your video with all my friends, because holy shit everybody needs to see your art. I am beyond impressed!!!!
Natacha R that’s so sweet!!! Thank you ☺️
I would pay good money to buy these and just stare at them everyday they’re more than amazing I’m speechless
"And now for the traffic report..." made me smile. Thanks for sharing your books, they show a high level of confidence and craftsmanship. All the best in your future career.
I felt same thing from the book. He/She made me smile as well.
my dream college is CalArts, but I'm really scared even though I'm still in middle school :,)
you can do it I believe in you, these arts are so good and inspiring.
Check out laguna college of art and design!
We love a multi-style art queen
I can see how long he/she has trained her self to improve her drawing. I admire him/her.

HOW AREN'T YOU EMPLOYED YET?! WHO NEEDS CALARTS IF THEY ARE THAT SKILLED
This sketchbook makes me so happy oh my god. Every page was just so gorgeous, that house in the first half with the (i think) highlighters 2:00 was absolutely astonishing.
Your anatomy is so good and your art style is so beautiful! Keep up the good work!! ❤️
i love everything about this video & your artwork exCEPT YOUR DENIAL OF BIRDS. BIRDS ARE R E A L AND I LOVE THEM ALL. fantastic artwork and you have an eye for movement that truly makes your work pop! keep it up!
bords are government drones
wake up sheeple
@@itastelikesand3793 ah yes, the majestic bord
Your art style is so clear, crisp and quirky with a charming and beautiful color pallet! I love this so much!
I hope you get accepted. This is some beautiful work. I could only dream of having a sketchbook like this!
bingobongobabe good news! They got accepted!
Don't dream
Work now
For it.
Earn the it
Me: Wow, she learned a lot at CalArts
Also me: *reads description*
Me again: Oh dang! If this won't get you in, then CalArts is just wrong.
Wow, did you really fill two sketchbooks in three months?? It usually takes me so much longer. Do you have any tips to speed up sketchbook completion time? Also, love the work, it's beautiful and inspiring (motivates me to let loose a bit with my art.)
Having a deadline helps!! But also not worrying so much about what goes into the pages - loosen up! I have a list of stuff to draw if I'm stuck which helps keep me going during art block. Just saying it took over a year to complete my previous two sketchbooks which had the same number of pages so this speed isn't off limits to anyone :D
Most Calarts sketch books I've seen are always so serious. Lot's of studies, no flavor or personality to them. However, yours is so unique in that I can see you have a fun loving nature through your art. You added such fun elements, and I love it!
Like for example which ones?
So thankful this was recommended to me! I've been going through an art block and this is unfortunate because I have an art project that needs to be finished, but after seeing this I now have some inspiration! Thank you! I hope you get accepted ( I've only known you for 8:00, but I'm positive you'll get in)
💛
Wips out the 2nd book.
Im like oh wait theres more. What a pleasant suprise
That subscribe to PewDiePie at the end is just, *muah*.
Very 👏 Nice 👏
Dang it, shouldn't have gone to the comments >:(
Sketchbook 👏 review 👏
@@lonliestfudanshi3170 oh, brother..
LonliestFudanshi oof yeah. was enjoying the video but that bit at the end was a major yikes especially considering recent events
I come back here every now and then, whenever I lack inspiration.
these sketchbooks are absolutely stunning, I can tell how much work you put into them. Amazing job wow my jaw was dropped the entire time.
very nice! good luck, realize you are already successful in advancing your talent by applying. When my daughter applied to SUNY New Paltz for art she had to bring in a large portfolio of her work, including professional photographs of items that could not travel well (her amazing art teacher did that for his students). She was assigned a review and interview day and when her portfolio was being reviewed by the art team we were taken on a campus tour. It was quite a stressful day but she was accepted, just as her older brother had been years before. Nowadays with digital art and design there are more opportunities for successful careers for art and design majors than at any other time in history. Don't forget to enjoy your youth and school experience whenever you can. Take care to cultivate close dependable friendships as you each will be the lifelines you need when dealing with the stress of the classes and assignments, particularly a senior project if you have one. Looking back you will realize that these years flew by.
Farmwife this is truly valuable - thank you very much!!! Great advice as I enter my 18th year of life today! ☺️
I love everything you do with sticky notes. They always make me chuckle. Good luck !!
I can see how long he/she has trained her self to improve her drawing. I admire him/her.
you are the most unique, talented, just outright beautiful artist i have EVER seen in my entire life. i want to learn all that i can from you to become a better artist. thank you because your art just made my day:)))
I think it’s amazing how much you could learn just by looking at some of these pages
What medium we're those really opaque drawings done in you know the first house and goat ones
Edit: Okay I found out they are the Winnsor and Newton gouache paints
Stunning work!!! You’ve worked so hard for this moment, I wish you the best of luck into getting into CalArts. You deserve it :)
I can see how long he/she has trained her self to improve her drawing. I admire him/her.
OMYGOODNESS YOU GOT ACCEPTED INTO *THE CALARTS?!* CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thats my dream college x) I want to go there when im an adult! :D!
After watching this, I feel obligated to comment, I can’t leave without telling you, that you are ABSOLUTELY Amazing, I don’t know why but this video made so happy and inspired me to finish my own sketchbook, to keep going to my classes and get better, you are an inspiration for me! You have no idea! Please keep doing what you do! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cal Arts “Sketchbooks” are basically formulaic at this point.
hand studies, people studies, animal studies, varied medium / styles. But then again, aren't these good things to show your artistic abilities?
Wow, filling a sketchbook like this takes some serious dedication and hard work! I applied to various art schools this fall and I know that calarts animation has one of the most demanding apps. Good luck!!!
I can see how long he/she has trained her self to improve her drawing. I admire him/her.

*Meppity was not the impostor*
Good one! 🤣🤣
I laughed at this more than i should have lol
every single one of your drawings is just stunning and so aesthetic, really pleasing to watch and colorful i have no words!! i wish i could one day get on your level, you really inspire me to draw more, thank you 💕
Good luck! Amazing sketchbooks :)
Awesome!
Your art is so lovely, the colors you use are beautiful too!! I’m glad you finally finished your sketchbook 😁
I'm looking for the sketchbook you had in your video, because it looks like a really good one, but I can't find it with the link 😭
Ahhhh meppity your sketchbooks are so beautiful!!!! That architecture tho!!! Your character designs blow me away and all of the dance study pages are so inspiring!!! You’re the best of us, congrats, you’re definitely getting in!!!
*throws my sketchbook in a hobo fire*
I am in awe at this sketchbook. I sincerely hope you get in since your skill is amazing. I am thinking of applying to calarts in the future too, and this is my favorite sketchbook until now. I am amazed at everything and I love it seriously. You’ve won yourself a new follower, your art is amazing and I look forward on what you can create on the future.

Thank you soldier, you did your part.
Is this the sketchbook you plan to send to CalArts?
It's already on its way to calarts
Hey do you have a gumroad? or your portfolio up somewhere? i've seen alot of the people who got into calarts putting up their portfolios for like $1-5, would you ever consider it? I'd love to see the rest of your portfolio!
I know that this is just another comment in the endless Abyss of comments, but this impacted me on a whole nother level.!!!
slow down, your art is to amazing to miss!
Hey good luck!! I’m really confident your gonna get in as I’ve watched your growth!!!
Hello Anya, my jaw dropped while watching this video. Your work is amazing!! And I was even more surprised when I found out that you are 17! You are a real talent! and you mentioned in one of your comments that you are self taught artist. Could you let us know how did you start, which methods you followed at the very beggining? That would be really great If you can shot a video for beginners who are into sketching/painting. Or you can give us some tips below this comment. How many hours were you practicing? We would love to hear your methods. Thank you and wish you the best!
i'm saving it for further inspection. That kind of great art is illegal, please stop now or there will be consequences
You mean "please don't ever stop"?
@@theaprilcat I mean "I'm so jealous that I can't look at it so I made it illegal"
She OBVIOUSLY only got excepted because of the subscribe to pewdiepie at the end. But for really you're super talented and I'm glad you got accepted!
Wig? Snatched !
These sketchbooks are amazing, and the music too !!! Good luck !!! !!!
That isn't a sketch book, that is a coffee table art book. DAMN! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
7:03 Cartoony figure drawings with skeletons underneath are my aesthetic now.
Laughed a lot ay the dance post it note thing. Wonderful sketchbook! Thank u for sharing
I love! It's like a story that inspires and transports you to a world of inspiration. Notes are fantastic "drawing with crayons is hard" hahaha ..
Thanks for sharing
Well time to improve my art skills
I saw you doing your drawing yesterday outside of Billies venue yesterday and thought your work was amazing! Well done !! I'm so shook at how good your work is ❤😭
Adeeka Saad thank you sm!!! 💛 I’m so glad Finneas took the art ahah
@@Meppity yeah I was so happy to see him hold it on stage ! You deserve it after all that hard work x
Gosh darnit! I want to give this video multiple likes smhhh
I love how amazing you are at drawing different body types! I see a lot of artists that stick with drawing one certain body shape, and with you I don’t see that!!!
I have little question... So, with this amazing sketchbook, you got accepted to calart. If I had the same thing (amazing drawing skills like yours) do you think I still get accepted to take animation course in regular university? Even though I didn't learn art in highschool? (The subject is not in our syllabus 😢 )
Quiet Person I didn’t study art either so you definitely can get into a lot of places without highschool art. Not guaranteed everywhere but calarts and most other American school don’t mind :)
The bench sketches are so cute!
The psst I think that girl is drawing you😹😹😹
I’m about a year and a half away from being able to try and get into CalArts and seeing all these different amazing artists’ work is so amazing and motivates me a lot! You’re art by far is some of my favorite that I’ve seen, very creative and beautiful!
Would practicing drawing ballerinas be good? There's a lot of really interesting things you have to do in that kind of dance to make it look right, so drawing a ballerina would be like challenging yourself in how you understand posture and making a drawing seem alive.
im setting ur drawings as a skill i want to achieve one day! they’re soooo amazing thank you so much for sharing 🥺💖
btw im not an art student im a medical student but i really loveeee drawing as a hobby 💕

What is behind the pink sticker? (think about it all)
The amount of creativity put into this book is overflowing out of my screen
your sketchbook is amazing! its very fabulous! hope it goes well and you get accepted (I applied too, so I get the long wait and the stress)
R. S. Good luck man! Could be any day now 😱😱
these are the single most coolest sketchbooks i’ve ever seen
Doubt this will be seen, but how do you start a sketchbook? I start a few illustrations only to get frustrated with the quality/inconsistent theme. How do you just make it all flow as you do?
Lol what are you going to learn at art school? You’re already an artist
so wait, did you take 4 gap years or what? your sketchbooks are amazing by the way!! and did you get any scholarship??
Ahh thanks! I’m actually graduating highschool at the end of this month and I did get two pretty big scholarships :’)
This sketchbook is incredible! You should be very proud of yourself!
calartian here :) GOOD LUCK!
The sub to pewdiepie at the end made me laugh!
Also, I'm now so pumped to start drawing myself!
Wow. INSPIRATIONAL. moving. so glad i came across this video.
this was awesome and the subscribe to pewdiepie at the end made it even better
This is absolutely gorgeous and impressive. Did you have to remove/rearrange/cover up some messed up drawings? It just feels unlikely that everything went perfectly from start to finish. I noticed you glued a lot of drawings - maybe you drew them on a separate sheet of paper so in case you screwed up you wouldn't have to restart the entire sketchbook? Or maybe you glued them on top of messed up drawings?
I also love how you went from one study to another, one style to another. Did you plan it out before starting or did you organise after you made it all (and glued in the right order)?
Gabyo Hi! Thanks for liking my sketchbooks!! I had very little exact plan of what was going into each page - however I created a checklist of skills, subject matter and media I needed to demonstrate so I fed a lot off that. Otherwise, I’d draw what I felt like on that day. I also didn’t always go in order.
I made plenty of mistakes in the book!! A lot aren’t noticeable because at first glance everything looks polished from using pen but they’re there. The more glaring errors were covered by post-it notes. This means that although I fixed the issue, you can still flip/remove the paper to see what lies underneath.
The only times I had to cover a whole page were 0:40 and 1:56 - I actually drew on the covering paper after I glued it in though. Same goes for all the paper I stuck in. Bold, I know lol. The other papers I stuck in weren’t to cover anything but to extend my canvas. I like panoramic stuff and didn’t want to flip through pages of the same content but rather have one long spread.
Basically, nothing was drawn before I attatched it to the books (although sometimes the sticky notes took a few attempts)
Hope this answers your questions!
@@Meppity Thanks for the explanation. This is freaking impressive. You gave yourself very little chance of redrawing, that's bold indeed. Also I love the fact you hid mistakes with sticky notes but you can still lift them up to see mistakes underneath. That's a very honest thing to do. Congrats!
