I think silent vlogs would not work for me. I like podcasts exactly because it's just voice and not images. It's so interesting noticing differences in people's preferences, don't you think? How boring the world would be if everyone were the same. :-)

Exactly! I love to see how humans behave and react differently :) this diversity is what make everything interesting 💛

Hope you like the video Citla :) Silent vlogs are vlogs where there is no chatting/voice over, it can have sound as background, music or just real sound from the recording. I get very distracted when I hear people talking, with silent vlogs I can work and occasional peeking the silent vlog, normally they have calm musics which helps too! Glad you liked The Botanica Collective ❤️🌿you can join anytime if you want, we have plenty of picture references to inspire artists.

That’s sounds like fun and I would love to try, do you have some recommendations? I will start with the references on the weekend, I think I will have some time 😅 I miss drawing more constantly!

My favourite so far are @introvert-and-dog and

@nyangsoop :) they are not art related. Silent vlogs are new "thing" for me so I'm sure I will find more with time 🤗

It was a real pleasure watching your sketchbook. I love seeing flip-throughs from fellow artists. My favourites are the ones with food on a checkered tablecloth. Very charming. ☺️

Já deixei o meu comentário à tour do Sketchbook ;) Parabéns pela The Botanica Collective! Tem corrido muito bem, tem crescido imenso! Adoro participar, é um cantinho que está a criar uma comunidade e que ajuda os próprios artistas a desafiarem-se e a crescerem.

Like many other commenters here I really like the idea of silent vlogs. I’ve been looking for channels to watch outside of art-YouTube. If you have some favourites you like to watch I would really appreciate it!

I didn't knew silent vlogs till recently and that it was a thing, seem quite popular in some countries! My favourites are: @introvert-and-dog and @nyangsoop :) now that I'm looking more this kind of videos, YT will suggested me more to discover for sure 😉 I also liked @alexcurley but this one is art related and he doesn't publish anything in a while.

Ai que viagem tão bonita! E aqui deste lado foi muito giro de ir relembrando todos os prompts 🥹🥹🥹 adorei ver o teu vídeo e apanhar alguns que me tinham escapado ou se calhar não tinhas partilhado ❤️ e adoro fazer o desafio contigo Teresa! Foste tu que me inspiraste a voltar a desenhar e tem sido um prazer desenhar lado a lado estes meses! Que venham mais! 😘

I'm used to do breaks everytime I feel my body/mind needs it and also do an weekend offline every month 😊 it helps me to keep balanced! So happy you liked the sketchbook tour and The Botanica Collective project ❤️ thank you Sam!
