This one has a lot of drawing sessions in, which is always fun to look back on!

Thanks for watching!
I actually love the sun through the trees. Very magnifimagical.
Thanks Amo :)
you are so studious! i have binged a few of your videos now (and yes, i love the 1-2 hour long ones very much) and i very often hear you say that you're behind, you didn't achieve you goals for the week, you are "lazy"...and honestly i wish i was as "lazy" as you are. you are an artist with one million sketchbooks in progress, your art is gorgeous, you work a full-time job, you hike for hours, you make youtube-videos, participate and stream drawing sessions, have an etsy shop, work on ideas for books, go to the gym, run, go on hour-long walks, watch movies, read books, watch youtube-videos, sleep a bit only to wake up in the middle of the night in order to get the most out of the day, visit places, travel, cook healthy vegan stuff, entertain family and friends and do more art! also you're friends with Arati, i mean come on! and sometimes you relax, god bless your heart:) i think you are amazing! and i wish my depressive ass would be able to accomplish more than just go to work. but that's my truth and i am so grateful, because you let me participate in your active life and get a glimpse of what that might feel like. i'm sorry, so much text, but i had to say it. i'm glad i found you
Thanks for your thoughtful and kind comment 🥰🥰 I will have to read this when I am having a bad day as a pep talk! I do think that watching many videos in a row can probably be a bit misleading though, while I have done all those things I definitely don’t do them all together! I have periods when I do lots of work and periods where I do nothing. But I think a lot of us are like that :) I’m glad you are enjoying the videos!
@@monkeymintaka of course, you are right, it's always good (and a requirement of being fair to a person) to differentiate. it's not all activity, it can't be. thank you so much, April
Absolutely Stunning. I love your style and all the neon-pastel-color mixes! The Dragon was my personal favorite. 🐉
Thankyou! The dragon was fun :) Not something I normally would have done!
i truly adore your style. it lends itself so well to be an entry point for those who don't know how to do abstract/deconstructed/loose form composition, however it's highly sophisticated. it's like magic
Oh Thankyou :) I never would describe my style as sophisticated but I’ll take it! 🥰🥰🥰
I couldn’t find better words… agree 100%. Your style is just fantastic❤️
Your art always makes me so happy, April!❤
That’s lovely to hear Fiona:)
Beautiful art, yet again! Your raccoon pen drawing made me crack a smile…. There’s a clever little raccoon who comes to visit our yard a few times a week. We’ve named him Ricardo, and he is consistently in a battle with my husband: Ricardo climbs our bird feeder poles to get to the seeds, my husband makes adjustments to the squirrel baffles on the pole, Ricardo figures out another way to climb over the baffles…etc. Anyhow, your pen drawing looks so much like Ricardo. :-D Thank you as always for making and sharing these videos!
Ahh that’s so funny. Ricardo sounds like a character :)we don’t have them in the uk and I’ve never seen one in the wild elsewhere. Maybe one day!
You’re so talented April , like I always say your Art always amazes me . Your colour blending and animals & people & landscape inc trees & forests , your Arts always very good xx
Ahh thankyou :) I’m so happy to hear that 🥰
I love all your drawings and paintings April! The colour combos are so gorgeous!😍😍😍
Thank you so much 😀
I love you sharing your talent, both in the drawings and in the accompanying talk. You make me laugh and smile, time and again. Thank you for being you.
Ahh Thankyou! That is the greatest compliment :)
Love your sketches especially the ones from Odd Orange session with film stills! The color purple one has turned out so great ❤
That was a really fun session :) thanks payal!
No one counts, exactly!! 😅 if there's someone who counts, would be freaking weird 😬 i'm joining the 3 materials challenge in my pace meaning once a week 🐌 always love how colourful your sketchbook s are, we get immediately happy by seeing just a few pages 🥰
It would be a bit strange if there were people keeping track 😅 thanks for your lovely comment :)
Thanks for sharing your sketchbooks!
Glad you like them!
Great sketchbook tour, thank you for sharing!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
SKETCHBOOK NUMBER 55??? what that's crazy 😮😮
It’s pretty cool! I have a few that aren’t numbered too, that are part of other projects. But it’s since 2017 so…it’s like 7 books a year.
Loved this video, I always enjoy seeing your sketchbooks!! You inspired me to paint the front of my pith sketchbook 😊 xx
Oh yay! Are you enjoying it? I think it’s my new fav regular sketchbook :)
@@monkeymintaka I LOVE my Pith sketchbook, I throw a lot at it and the pages take it really well!! I'm not surprised it's your new fave, I love mine!!xx
Super cute cover!!!🥰
Thank you!! 😊
Griffin and chicken is so cute together.
🥰
Loved your tour! I am down for the griffin and chicken zine 😃
Yes!! It’s on my long long list of projects to do 😅
I love it all. Especially the people and pets! I'm curious if you're able to use those images for prints or portfolio since they are actual photographs? I ask because I've kinda shied away from doing drawings from photos for that reason. But they came out so cute, I'd love to try!
Hmmmm 🤔 I haven’t really thought about it. The only prints etc I’ve made from photos are normally animals and one time I made humans into cats, so I don’t think that would be a problem. I think if you change it up more so it wasn’t recognisable it would be okay. I definitely recognise that girl with the boots and chicken, I’ve seen other people use her as a reference.
Lol chicken rooster goose clarinet monster😂
😅
Sei molto creativa! Brava .😊👍❤
Thankyou 🥰

April, do you have peacocks in the area? That’s what peacocks sound like here in Carlsbad, California
We don’t! Just pigeons and lots of seagulls :) It was my neighbour doing something very strange in his driveway. I can assure you no peacocks were involved 😅
😂that’s too funny well we won’t discuss you neighbors strange goings on LOL 🤣 lovely video as usual
I’m also a Patreon and a fan have a great day/ evening
April, when did you finish sketchbook #1 ? I started last may & just started sketchbook #17 !
❤ Courtney
Please disregard the username! That would be my 10 year olds doing!!😂
Wow! That’s a lot. Nice one :) I just looked and started April 3 and finished May 7. So it took a month to do the first one :)
