Avant Arte believes in a new age where art is becoming more and more unrestrained, a time where the traditional rules and boundaries of the definition of art have been blurring. Art has been becoming a more ‘social’ and fluid experience, opposed to a conceptual object that is assigned value by institutions and influencers.

0:36 “I was just learning about art “ show’s beautifully rendered self portrait lol
Drawing for 1 min 35 sec - a little boy in a space suit is aiming at a monster with a phaser. This boy is simply brilliant. I would tear this one page out of my entire sketchbook😁 You draw amazingly, especially from your imagination.
Such an insanely generous artist, his attitude of openness and humility has served him well, I really think his draftsmanship is unmatched.
Yes! I always thought the subway sketches from that one artist were fake, but ppl were eating it up haha. Your sketch book is amazing and I'm so inspired... so much character and personality!
Feeling a combination of destruction to my capabilities and inspiration for my aspirations.. insane work
What an honor and privilege to see these sketchbooks. Nice to know a talent of this caliber still feels humble and down to earth enough to share his early work and honest thoughts. Truly enjoyed this video.
U make me cry when i look ur draws youuu are amazing i cant say anything just they are fantastic
wow this is humbling. So much superb drawing in just one sketchbook.
Amazing 👏🙌. James is the best artist of all time.
Incredible. I'm just in awe of your art. It's absolutely stunning.
im enough collecting of you.
you are such a piece sample of what i need.
you are that indeed, in every centimeter of you.
I’ve been painting for 30 years and still trying to grow and figure things out. The MFA degree helped me know how to dive deeper in expression.
I have no words... I really love your art, it inspired me so much💗
Gorgeous. You are so talented. You should get your 1999 sketchbook published. I would buy it. It’s so beautiful
The sketches themselves evolute stunningly. And hearing stories behind is just like life traveling. Thank you for the sharing, it's a great inspiration!😄
Hell yeah! Let’s get organizing.
Thanks Adam
love the way I draw many details
Thank you for the advice and help. Be happy and enjoy your people
I really enjoyed watching this video from the beginning to the end. Great sketchbooks. I also liked the way he talked. I could say it was like watching a good movie.
This is awesome work. I wish I could fill my sketchbooks with this quality of drawings. Thank you for sharing and giving inspiration:-D
I know exactly who you are talking about 😊
I can’t live without my mono zero eraser…it has been a game changer!
Lollll the comment on the subway tik tok-er. Tell people all the time those are staged, most people don't know how hard it is to sketch people on the subway
Yea and the photographic quality that James mentioned is completely true lol. they look flat and static.
I knew it. It only seemed like it was me rallying against that guy telling them about a graffiti artist that did the same but filmed the entire process.
Thank god I’m not alone.
Yea, it's so obvious. Incredibly annoying.
Hahaha true.. and I read he got offended by someone who critique his drawings and asks his ‘fans’ to attack on social media😅
FRIENDS WITH A PORN STAR SINCE SHE WAS " ABOUT " 18 ???
Beautiful work.
Awesome!! Very cool to see early sketchbooks like this. Thank you for sharing.
Fabulous drawings! And inspiring. Best sketchbook tour I've seen on YT. Thanks for sharing your early work esp.
he is the god of the north someone, he is already putting the bodies the characters there prepared to take action, he already knows it all.
Art just pours out of this artist.
Just doodled and listen/watched this entire video. Lovely sketches/drawing they're inspirational. I hope to catch a live stream one day!
I love your drawings. They are exquisite, and my passion is to get the feeling of motion.
You're an amazing artist. Thank you for sharing your beautiful drawings. When I saw your drawings, it made me get back to my sketchbook. I'm going to start using a pencil to create it.
this is actually magical..
Thanks, Great stuff. His sketchbooks are impossible to find now.
beautiful sketchbook
I can tell that first one is from 1999 without you even opening it. Very Nine Inch Nails, ‘Thief’, ‘Se7en’ kind of 90’s grunge look to it. A load of kids think the look then was all Neville Brody Y2K not so it was very edgy back then. Good stuff.
Thank you. Very inspiering.
Wow you went from amazing to Universally amazing! Love your work so much!
So talented! I really enjoyed seeing your work!
7:25 How did you achieve your technique? -- I'm gonna try and be kind here, because the person asking the question might be a youngster. But the purpose of the sketchbook is to get ideas on paper and work out your craft. And that is pretty much it. You gotta practice, man. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, Practice Practice. Nobody came to this without it. I don't care who they are.
so deeply inspired, thank you
I find your work inspiring. Thank you!
I lov3 his work, its amazing
the sketches are amazing
Wonderful
beautiful sketches!
Those are really good
Amazing artwork, I've decided to teach my self how to draw at 39 😂 have you any tips for a beginner starting out . I find myself just sketching random stuff with no real direction,
Cool ability to compose a page!
Who is this men his amazing!!???
Do the new Moleskine sketchbooks deserve the price since they've downgraded the paper? Please, which one is a better alternative if it does not? The Sakura or the Canson 180? I draw with graphite and colored pencils. Thanks in advance
I'm not James, but frankly I feel like Moleskine was never worth the price. Talens Art Creation is most similar to it in color (cream), texture (very slick) and weight (140 gsm I think). I'm not a fan since I prefer white paper, but if you like yellowish paper, that's the closest substitute for the Moleskine sketchbook.
I prefer Canson Universal or Canson 180 (exact same paper, just a different type of cover) for pencil and ink drawings. Graphite erases very easily. Though if you're heavy-handed, you might indent the paper as it's quite thin (90 gsm), which might result in some pigment transfer on the opposite side of the paper. A protective piece of scrap paper is definitely recommended to prevent that.
Canson One has 100 gsm dry media paper. Slightly toothy so it works for charcoal as well, but no obvious texture so it's nice for pencils. Bad for ink so I'll never buy another one again, but it might actually work out better for you. It's a bit basic though, no pocket or elastic strap, if that matters to you.
@@NelaDunato hi nela can you recommend other cream sketchbooks, couldnt find talens art one :(
@@Av4nQuisH I actually avoid cream/ivory sketchbooks. But as far as I know, Moleskine, Stillman & Birn Gamma and Delta, and Handbook Journal are in that category.
disagree, I love the Moleskins for graphite and ink. Talens SBs have their own charm and are amazingly versatile but the paper is much less substantial@@NelaDunato
@@CastleMc Tastes differ! I didn't like the Moleskine for ink at all. It always looked grayish and streaky instead of rich black. (I didn't have this issue with other sketchbooks.)
inspiring
i’m so jealous that you got to meet and draw cillian murphy 😭😭😭
Cillian is lucky to meet such an incredible artist like James
what would your advice be for someone who fills a sketchbook within 1-2 months, and now over the year has ammased a pile of sketchbooks with me only seeing them as natural progresion or to pick ideas from, but other than that all its doing is agravating me as theirs a 1m stack of books just in the corner of my studio, whats your advice for people burning through sketchbooks, i used to have the other problem of not being able to fill a sketchbook for year but since ive become addicted to drawing everyday my wallet and my space is taking a negative hit. and i cant bring myself to throw away some of the rubish sketchbooks as i flip through it and then find ideas i would want to refine and take further so havent the heart to throw away the irelevant work.
I would just scan them or take photos of them and store them on hard disk, you can always keep the ones that you love the most maybe pick one for every year
I want your problem!
One time I did go through all my old books and tore out the most worthless pages. it really shrunk the pile down.
Does anybody know the name of the sketchbook or a similar one? I really want to get a toned paper sketchbook with that many pages but I can't find any...
how old were you in the first sketchbook this has made me realise I'm not that good at drawing
Looks like the old masters sketches
he fiills up the landscape that i can see with bodies that are in complete silence.
your sketchbook is very messy, I like that🐬🐬
as the saying goes, draw what you see, so take a sketch book where ever you go, thanks
2019, no 1999. Just off by 20 years😂 amazing work
Lol 😂
The New Davinci^^
“There was something special about Sasha grey” *turns the page*
( Y )
i like your line finesse
Why are there English subtitles for English speach?
Da vinci overtones in the sketchbook
That drawing of the saxophonist looks like Dick Oatts!
43:25 24hr shifts?!? Is this not against labour laws. I've heard of Mangakas working ridiculous hours, but in the world of fine art, too? Japanese, please take a break.
6:39 "...ummmmm" lmao
This guy is a JEAN-ius
Hope Sabrina didnt got some creepy calls there xD Nice work dude.
I wonder, was the typical construction style of drawing taught today something you did when you were young?
something is going out. you have said enough.
nice
I know about the subway guy , and as you , I don't believe this
Crazy how an impostor can gain 10 million subscribers yet a true artist is only at 6k. Those videos are staged and make me sick.
James Jean is actually a massively famous artist. this isn’t his youtube page
@@jotsandhu8842 he's talking about the subway sketch artist James mentioned!
I read your name as ‘James Dean’.😂
I'll probably be that good sixty years of age
Subway drawing TikTok does look not real…
レオナルドのノート
The guy on tiktok and UA-cam Shorts drives me nuts! I've commented on the exact thing you're talking about. He's looking up, but he draws the person down. And the images have that boring from a picture look. It's annoying.
He was always Elliot page, bigot. Just kidding. You inspired me to be an artist.
p
is it going well ? who is ? unproblably, you are speaking about nobody. you even can read literally what i say.
