Amazing video. Your channel is so underrated, hope this gets enough recognition. ❤
Thank you for watching! I'd love to know what you liked best about this video 👍
I like this sketchbook too, especially the extra white paper version! :)
That's great! What do you draw in them? 💛
@@ArtySubu well actually everything! :D I also like mixed media and I take daily notes in them too. I've used colored pencils, watercolor, gouache and acrylic gouache and even oil paint (with gesso first), and the sketchbook can handle everything! :D
That sounds exactly like a sketchbook that's perfect for you! 💛
i LOVE the confidence with which you paint/draw/sketch!! It points out to me something I was lacking- I subbed, excited to see more! :)
Aw thank you so much! That's so good to hear... I was hesitant to show the process because I wasn't sure people would be interested! 🤣💛
What a great video, thank you so much for allowing us to hear what your thought processes are… it really really helps . Thank you so much
That's great feedback, thank you!!! I might do more if that helps! 💛 Have you watched this one:ua-cam.com/video/magD23wjnAg/v-deo.html ??
I loved seeing your bloo jay come together! So much fun. I loved doing Birbfest! (1st time for me)
Yay! I'll check yours out, are they on Instagram? Glad you liked it!! 💛
Aww, thanks. Yes, on Instagram (same name). I want to add that I am fascinated by how you create so much from your imagination. I am so tied to following references, but I found it inspiring how you used them sparingly.@@ArtySubu
I'll check your Instagram out. I'm barely on there these days, just post and hop out 😂 maybe I'll do a video about how I translate ideas to reality. I've always drawn better from imagination than from life, guess that's how my brain works?! Try an exercise of looking at a picture for 5 mins and then put the reference away and try drawing what you THINK you saw. It'll improve your observation skills and also your illustration skills! Let me know if you try it 💛
Thanks!@@ArtySubu
My pleasure! 💛
I absolutely love this. I use many of the same tools as you which makes me feel like I must be on the right track since your work is so fantastic 😊
Thank you so much. 💛💛💛 What's your favourite thing to draw?
This is so stunning, I love it ☺☺☺
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! 💛
I have been using the A4 talens with cork cover and white paper. It is my go to, and I managed to find it at the art store near me in the standard A5 size this weekend too. So, I did stock up. 😂 Really enjoyed watching your process Arati! 😍
Ooh fab! I wish I'd found the cork cover first, to be honest, because I can't write my name and date on the art deco patterned cover like I normally do 😂 thanks f9r watching!! 💛
@@ArtySubuhi, you could create a strip or a circle of white gesso or white watercolour ground - and write on it with a permanent or acrylic markers. I did this on my cork cover and it worked well. If you want a circle you can create a template (cut a circle out and use the negative space)to ensure it stays round. I bought these sketchbooks in several colours and formats. I ❤ them.
Yes, I'm going to have to do that! Might try my gesso, tinted with black acrylic paint.
I used the Talens book several times after seeing online folks use it. I decided I don’t like it. I feel like Cason XL mixed media or watercolor is just as inexpensive and better paper quality. That said, I know many like it.
I agree. I like Art Gecko or Seawhite of Brighton better than this one. 👍🏼💛
I agree! I bought a Talens Book and ended up using it for mixed media projects.
Yep, it's definitely not my primary sketchbook! 💛
so nice ❤ new subscriber
Thank you so much! Looking forward to making more videos for you! 💛
I think they have 4 cover options of this white paper one.
I hadn't seen any of the others but just checked their website and it's a cork cover plus two printed ones - some roses and a Dutch masters painting of a woman.
@@ArtySubu i had the cork covered one, but the paper didn't take watercolour at all, sadly ! please let us know how your white one is handling wet media compared to the cream/yellowy version
@darklittlepeople Ooh does the cork cover feel nice? 💛 I usually work with gouache or acrylic, but I do own watercolours so will test it. However, these are definitely NOT watercolour sketchbooks! Try the Art Gecko sketchbooks if you're a watercolourist... Lovely paper and takes water well.
The sap green is very big compared to some of mine 😂 The white paper sketchbook is such a pretty cover! I kind of like off white paper but the royal talens is very off white. It makes scanning things in hard sometimes.
P.s thanks for the shoutout and yay for finishing Birbfest shortlist 🎉
@monkeymintaka Yay for finishing!!! 💛👍🏼😂
@monkeymintaka ha! I've been trying to preserve that sap green as much as possible! About the cream paper, yeah, right?! As it is I have to do extra work to clean up when scanning and for this book I have to go through and remove allllll the inside cream areas too! So annoying! Off white is nice but this is tooooo cream for me.
I kinda wish they sold this in an 8”x8” size, afaik they only do 5x5” square format books which is just that little bit too small for my liking…
Yeah I agree, the 5x5 is too small for me. Have you tried Seawhite of Brighton 8x8? It was one of the first sketchbooks I got in 2023... ua-cam.com/video/JH60blLTENM/v-deo.html
@@ArtySubu Funnily enough I'd literally just got one about a week ago! I bought one of Scrawlbox'c combo kits, which comes with a white one, so you can paint the cover... But I wish the pages inside were a bit smoother, I'm really not a fan of paper with a tooth haha
Ah yes! It's best for mixed media or even acrylic! I like it because it takes most media really well without show-through when I scan in.
Edited: Wish they sold the white paged versions in the U.S.
I'm pretty sure they're on Amazon and eBay! tinyurl.com/ArtCrA5 (*aff)
The white one doesn't hold the water as well as the cream one does.
Oh, good to know!! I'll test that when I start using it! 💛 But also, would use mostly markers, pencils or gouache in it.
@ArtySubu I am interested in your opinion on this when you try it. Not many people compared it yet. Have a nice Sunday ❤️
Thank you! It might take a while since I've got so many unused sketchbooks now 😂💛 have lovely Sunday too! Hope it's sunny and warm where you are unlike colddd England.
