  • "I've been feeling a lot of feelings" I feel that
  • 55:39 the fact that you are opening your heart and sharing your thoughts is so special to me, thank you for being you
  • @elisspie
    You have wonderful sketches! I wish that the fears that you have shared have become less disturbing for you. I wish you well and satisfaction with your creativity
  • @traceyhedrick
    Thank you for sharing so openly. It really helps all of us who go through the same emotions not want to give up. Also, I want you to know I get the same awe from your figure drawings as I do from Leigh’s nature studies. It’s a shame that we can’t see our work through other’s eyes sometimes. I adore your work and your content.❤️
  • @mochaninja
    You are so incredibly talented, thank you for sharing your art and for being so open and honest. Impostor syndrome can weigh on all of us at times, I guess it's just part of the human experience but it can really suck! I love watching your sketchbook videos and am always amazed at what you are able to create - in pen! I'm so sorry for any negativity you've received, it's not deserved at all.
  • @pyuschan
    thank you for being so real about your feelings, and how you feel about yourself and your artwork. It takes courage to be vulnerable and i felt seen by just listening to your stories. anyway, Keep on doing greaaaaat works Leechuts!!! Looking forward for the next videos!
  • @Mango-Moods
    I’m loving your channel and watching you make art. The hour long videos are nice to sit and chill to. Don’t let the haters get ya down ✌🏿
  • I love the chats, seeing u overthink, as an overthinker, is like wow we need to chill hahaha. But also, you dont owe the internet anything, you don't need to open up like that to be genuine, only do it cause you WANT to, It is normal to keep things to yourself
  • @ChantelleArts
    this is so aesthetic, i love how you've filmed this 😊😊
  • @aidanb.9423
    oh i love this !! feels so cozy and just what i needed to cap off some work tonight. thank you leechuts for another banger o7
  • It took me until my 40s to come to terms with my sensitive nature. I was made to feel wrong for my strong emotions and that I was too much or too sensitive. What I would love to say to you at this stage in your life...never shame yourself for your feelings or your tears or any part of who you are. Those are the parts that make you authentic and beautiful and whole and individually YOU. ❤
  • WOWOWwow! First off as a lonely artist who works at home your long-form drawing vlogs are such a treat! Esp with so much AI art bs all I want is a human talking about their feelings and making art and being deeply emotionally dedicated to their craft. It makes me feel way less alone. Also, the avoiding conflict thing is so real!! I hate confrontation with a passion and learned from my therapist its likely due to my own childhood trauma/ getting screamed at over minor slip-ups has made me completely terrified of causing harm in any way. I would loveeee to start a youtube channel but def feel that fearful urge of putting myself out there and somehow screwing it up. So, hearing you go through your own fears in rea -time and moving through it in such a positive and candid way is really inspiring! It takes a lot of bravery but you are doin the damn thing!! Thank you for the time and energy you put into these videos
  • Incredibly relatable from start to finish (as usual) !! Your vulnerability and authenticity is infectious. I feel so often our emotions just need to be witnessed/heard, and that simple act helps us release them and make space for more. Thank you for sharing your reality through all the emotions, not just the highlights :) Truly appreciate the space you share here. <3

    Lovely video Thank You. I have similar feelings during the summer, I wait for this season for the whole year, and then I'm like why am I sad, it's summer, but I guess we cannot always control or change how we feel, it is what it is😌Actually videos and channels like yours help. I personally feel inspired to sketchbook more now, so Thanks for that🌷Have a great weekend
  • @malurus_
    i love hour long videos to just put on and chill to. i really enjoy listening to you speaking about your thoughts and feelings.
  • @bluebean8450
    Thankyou for making this video, your thoughts are consolation ❤❤
  • Everything you draw I love too. I really enjoy hearing your thoughts. We all think critically about our own art and to hear someone we support and like and look up to is honestly very helpful and to hear you speak so bravely about your doubts to all of us is beautiful and refreshing. Thank you for your transparency and thoughts. I've been going through the same thing about it being summer and feeling down. It's definitely a hard feeling to deal with. When I feel these feelings pushing myself to go outside to doodle helps cheer me up or if I don't go out I push myself to do art I do feel better staying inside because at least I'm not wasting time scrolling and not doing anything with myself. And if I can't do even that taking care of myself like showering journaling making a nice meal or meditating is even more simple and even in that it makes me feel good because I used the day to feel myself and love myself through those feelings. Proud of you to push through and do what you love despite your inner critique 😊
  • hello thanks for sharing all this thoughts! I feel all that struggle also, frequently. It helped me knowing that someone else also feels that, because a lot of time I feel like no one understands. And about you feeling like you should be more vesatile instead of drawing the same thing over and over, I struggle with the oposite. I get bored if I try to draw the same thing. I used to bit myself over that, because I didn't practice the same thing enough to get better at it. But with years I learned to not bit myself up and embrace experimenting with different stuff. I still admire artists that stick to one style and are not versatile, because one can recognise theit work better. But now I know that versatility is also a good thing. So if you're the king of artist that want to draw the same over and over, just do that, because that is also fantastic. Just do what makes you happy and know that that's enough and a good thing in itself. bye and hope you meke peace with your feelings and thoughts.
