I felt like I improved a ton over this process.
Thanks for taking a look!
YOUR TALENT MAKES ME SO MAD YOURE AN AMAZING ARTIST AND UGH YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF FORM AND THE LINE THICKNESS AND SHADING UGHHHHH YOURE SO GOOD
your art is fabulous!
Thank you ^^
+Clarisse C You're welcome! Hope to see more of your videos soon. ^-^
This is amazing! I adore the fold-out bits that show different settings and parts of your day, they flow so nicely, Great job on all of it !!
i've been watching loads of these sketchbook videos and this one had me hooked, really honestly amazing, by far the best i've watched. You'll be going places!
Oh wow, that's so amazing! I wish I had a physical copy, I would stare at your sketches all day long!
Your words are too kind! Thank you so much!
Woah! You're an amazing artist! I can see why you got accepted! I hope I'll be able to get to your level and get accepted too :)
People always complain about the calarts sketchbook stuff and it just makes no sense to me, like you have to do that for art at normal universities too so I don't see the problem? But anyway, congrats!! Yours is lovely
Eh, Calarts tends to reject stylization and illustrative elements, and prefers realism and figure drawings. People get mad at it.
Sabrina Vargas but then they're just dumb
most accepted calarts sketchbooks i see are highly stylized, they're just often clearly using real life as reference, which often results in better quality work
See this got accepted cause calarts really loves styles that are pretty detailed and close to life. Well done, congratulations! I hope you have a great time at uni!
you have such a wonderful style! very nice, very expressive and raw
Thank you sooooo much :D
I absolutely adore your sketchbook and wish that I even had a hint of the perfection you carry in your drawings
you have such a beautiful style and form to you art and I hope you make something amazing after school is over ♡♡♡
Thank you so much for your kind words!
And I hope you keep on drawing and growing as an artist!
AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so beautiful! Congratulations! ♥
so cool. I love your art
Thank you!!
congratulations!! i loved the little sceneries at 1:50!
Thanks!!!
Perspectives so good, so far
Very fun to see! Thank you.
congratulations! One of the best sketchbooks I've seen so far! You certainly deserve it :)
I'm 15 and looking to get into calarts some day and have been doing a reasonable amount of observational drawing however I was wondering how you did those long sceneries? Do you take a photo, draw them as you see them, a bit of both, something else? I was very impressed with the level of detail you added with si few lines :O
Keep up the incredible work :)
Thank you so much +Anya Butler !
For the long sceneries, I literally just sat in the same place for 2 to 3 hours and slowly drew whatever was around me. (starting from left to right) So the drawing is filled with different people from different times! I tried not to lift my pen too much either.
For the ones in food courts or cafes, I usually sit at a round table so that I could move my chair around it and tilt my view. Or just turn my head around.
I also did some before, after and during class. (And yeah I didn't pay attention ^^)
All the best!!
Thank you very much :) I hope to follow in your footsteps some day (if I got in on the first time, you'd be in your final year :o)
+Anya Butler Hey! Hope to see you there then! Good Luck!!!
oh lol aren't you meppity? i love your videos!!
omg that's so awesome!! your art is beautiful!
Wonderful art! Very inspiring and motivating to see this!
thank you so so so much for sharing Clarisse, your works are fantastic >< I really get inspired and more insightful now, will try my best as well! Thanks again and congrats to you! You deserve it!!!!!!!!
This was beautiful. It was just like seeing things through your eyes : )
I was wondering which sketchbook you used since the pages don’t bleed over. Also, your artwork is amazingg.
This is amazing! :D And congrats!!!
this is incredible 😭
im only a sophomore and i go to an arts charter highschool for visual arts so im no that old and shouldnt be that worried, but im worried about my dream of being accepted to calarts because i draw cartoony styled things and im not the best at realism although i spend a lot of time practicing it, i just see these super out of my league sketchbooks and get nervous about my future, i was wondering if you have any tips are advice to help me in my future and help me get prepared for these sort of things.
Hello~ it's only natural to feel nervous.. I was too!! But just keep on practicing and never give up! You may not see instant results but you'll get there ^^ we all start somewhere! Go around the town and draw people/things around you, attend life drawing sessions, keep experimenting different styles and observe your favourite artists.
Remember to enjoy your art making and learning!
Peace~
Jo Cannone hey what charter high school do you go to? I go to a charter school for visual art as well (I'm a junior) it would be funny if we go to the same school XD
I go to CASA in Harrisburg, PA
Jo Cannone someone i used to be friends with goes there!! small world :)
Hey some of my friends go to CASA!! Just keep on practicing and try new things to build your understanding :)) sorry this reply has unhelpful advice but i'm currently in a similar situation so
Amazing!
Congrats on getting accepted to calarts!
I'm 14 and I really want to go to CalArts one day! I got a couple of questions in mind! if you don't mind me asking-
How were you able to have ideas of what to draw? Did you get art classes in middle/high school? How long have you been drawing?
+Aiko Mae Hey there! Thank you very much!
I don't really think too much when I draw. I just draw whatever I'm interested in at the moment. I took Arts and Crafts in secondary school (middle school) but I had a horrible teacher and don't remember learning anything :/ They didn't offer art in my high school unfortunately.
My first life drawing session was 2 years ago but I really got into it in 2015.
I've been drawing since forever ^^
Hope this helps!
+Clarisse C 2 years ago?!
_:(´□`」 ∠):_ I envy you!
Do you draw often? 2-3 drawings a day? Or maybe more?
+Aiko Mae I draw pretty often :) I don't really calculate how much I draw though, so don't stress over that too much. Just draw when you seem to be waiting for something, have nothing to do, see something cool or if an interesting idea pops into your mind etc. Take it easy.
+Clarisse C Thank you! :D Have fun at CalArts!
at 0:34 is that a continuous line drawing?
and also when drawing from observation, does it have to be from life or can you draw from photo references?
The best way is obviously seeing it in real life. If it's a photo theres the possibility people may say you are stealing if it is a legit copy of what the photo is
Fegelein actually it’s because photos are very sharp. In real life we focus on something. Also the decision making process is more complicated in life drawing.
You can take your own photos.
Really amazing stuff, especially those room drawings. I really have to work harder :)
I was wondering if you draw from reference photography or real life, I mean, watching that and the proccess i'm not sure if you were drawing while watching or looking to a photography... And I really want to know.
some studies, like the ones you do with a panoramic drawing, looks so damn amazing and we tried last year in a course, but I never know if I just freeze the people in the room that were moving all time or what and the lines in your studies capture that so well...!
thank you so much for sharing!!
Hi!
The panoramic drawings, classroom drawings, sketches of people etc were done on location. (No photo references)
Some of the cultural/traditional clothing and art studies were done with photo references.
When drawing on location, I don't draw everyone at one given moment. I draw different people doing different things at different times, as they come and go.
Hope this helps :)
Yeees a lot, thank you so much for answering!!
beautiful art! hope to see more of your art soon, please upload more vids :D
Thank you! I might upload my animated films here in the future :)
Thank you!
Genius!!!
are u going there now?
nice job
can you PLEASE refer some good sites, name of artists for references.... and if possible good online tutorials.. I'm not able to find any good teacher in my city
The dislikes are the people who didn't get in
Does anyone notice you drawing them and confront you about it? I always get too nervous about that happening to really draw people like that.
Spoofy Jiggens sunglasses mate
@@JonathanChenentercreativeurl DUDE i never thought of that! Thanka!!
are u thinking in animation?
I didn't expect to see you here
+Tweedle Toons. He's fake
Amazing work and you are just starting, do you have an instagram for following your work?
Yo! Thank you so much!! You can find me on instagram as @claweeese
Hey Clarisse, is this the first time that you apply? haha just wondering
Awesome work
+Cindy Mora Yup! This was my first time applying.
a lot of these look like they're continuous line, are they? that's really impressive how do you do that omg
also what pen + paints + markers? (if you used any) are these? it doesn't look like anything is bleeding through
and did you draw the observationals purely from sitting there in real time and drawing, or did you take photos of places you went to and draw them?
Yup, most of the crowd pieces were done with a continuous line! Just take it slow and try to keep your pen on the paper ^^
I used copic drawing pens, piga micron pens, some coloured staedtler pens and pretty much any random acrylic or crayon I find under my bed or something haha.
All the observational drawings were done in real time. Only the cultural fashion studies were done with photo references :)
whoAa, ty for replying om,g how did you go slowly in real time then? when people move do you just wait for them to go back to the position you were drawing or try to change it/make it up or
and what kind of sketchbook was this? it looks like u used a lot of watercolor for coloring stuff but my sketchbook can only handle really light watercolor washes :(
Congratulations! :D any advice for getting into calarts?
+Tristan Jg Thank you! Well I'd say observe the world around you and draw everyday. Go for life drawing sessions at least once a week (preferably).
There really is no specific way to go around it so don't be afraid to experiment. Draw draw draw to your hearts content, have fun and just try not to stress out too much ^^
+Clarisse C thanks for the advice! By the way, are the "cultural drawings" in your sketchbook drawn from photos/life/imagination? (Ex. 3:21) Just curious, I really like them! :D
+Tristan Jg They were photo studies!
ive a question, when you did those huuuuuuuge crowd scenes, did you just sit down somewhere and do it? or did you go from a picture? cuz i was just thinking if you did it at the place the scene would be changing all the time with people and chairs and possibly tables moving all the time
They are all on-location drawings. So yeah the scene is changing constantly and the sketch is filled with different people doing different things at different times :)
Clarisse C thanks!!
hey, I want to try for Calarts 2017, I had a few questions, If you don't mind, can you answer them?
What sketchbook do you use? any advice for keeping a sketchbook? Any advice for a person who really wants to get into Calarts?
+Joan Roberts
I used an Apica Premium C.D. Notebook Hardcover.
I choose smaller sketchbooks so I can bring them everywhere, but it depends on your own preference. Thicker paper allows you to use a variety of mediums~
Go for life drawing sessions at least once a week, draw things around you and explore! ^^ Try not to use a pencil, this way you'll think/observe more before drawing.
@@claweeese hey! I didn't get into Calarts, and I really really love your work, especially your comics. But I have started to keep a sketchbook for myself. And you really inspire me :D
vеry cool!!!!
Шикарненько.
how big is your sketchbook ?
what style is this realism
Wow :0How many pages do they require?
+Amber Is A Fangirl
There is no minimum page requirement or page limit.
👍
Gooddddddd
Whats the song ?

We Always Thought The Future Would Be Kind Of Fun by Chris Zabriskie
May i have your advice..?
+K.A.E Pictures Sure :) ask me anything! I may not have the perfect answer but I'll try my best.
Clarisse C I'm preparing to supply Calarts on 2018! But... there's one thing i'm worried about my drawing. When i so your drawings... i feel just nothing .
My drawings are focused on base .
What can i do? Keep draw or do something else?
This is irrelevant question, but can i ask you where are you from?..
+K.A.E Pictures I'm sorry I'm not too sure what you meant when you said 'focused on base', but I take it English is not your first language.
Perhaps you meant that you're focusing on the basics? Foundation work is important as well so keep working on it, but don't be afraid to explore beyond that. Study artwork by your favourite artists and see what kind of techniques they use. Try new styles and just experiment around.
Oh and I'm from Singapore :)
Clarisse C Thanks! Actually ,I'm korean
im so jelous of your sketchbook
waaaw... :0
