Hi Teoh!

Hi Teoh!
I enjoy your watercolor palette/ mixing videos, especially when you're explaining color theory or stuff about color pigments.
Your coverage of sketch walks and similar events is very entertaining and actually motivating me to draw outside more often :)

Oh my god, the brushes! I can

Oh my god, the brushes! I can't get enough of brushes. The videos are so thorough, the best reviews and comparisons out there! I watched all non-digital videos you have. What I mean is I'm not looking for a new screen, tablet or stylus but I know lots of people are. Also if I ever need one I'll be definitely looking for yours videos. Keep up the outstanding work! Oh and good luck everyone with the giveaway :)

I really enjoy most of your

I really enjoy most of your content but I have a soft spot for Urban sketching. Live drawings on site and / or sketchbook flip through and commentary to it.
Keep up the good work.

I really like your book and

I really like your book and art supply reviews. You give us a closer look into the book than we can see in amazon sample pages. I trust your opinion as an artist more than an amazon review. For art supplies you hve a lot of knowledge about what you are doing. I also like your gift guides and art store tours very much.

thank you for your video's theo!

I like your outdoor sketching

I like your outdoor sketching videos because they show your city, the reality of working outside with people and traffic passing by, and your ability to get quick loose drawings that have a distinct style. Great channel Teoh.

I really enjoyed your supply

I really enjoyed your supply review. Helped me buy a prima marketing set and make good use of the limited amount of money I had. I also enjoy your tutorials and demonstrations. Hard to pick one, your channel is great overall. If I have to pick one thing, I will go with tutorials, because that's a good combo of learning/appreciating your artwork. Cheers!

I enjoy your sketching on

I enjoy your sketching on location as well as product and book review! The location sketching is so much fun to watch and gets me motivated. The product reviews are so informative and it helps to see how many products perform before buying.

I love your limited color

I love your limited color palettes when you choose to paint with 3 colors. This has motivated me to do the same and I've definitely mixed colors with triads I never would have before. Using an earth color for a yellow has taught me a lot.

G'day mate,

G'day mate,
I reckon your limited palette videos are bloody brilliant! It's amazing what you can achieve with only 3 colours. Very inspirational!

I enjoy most of your videos.

I enjoy most of your videos. It is because of your channel that I got very interested in urban sketching and have now started to learn and have purchased several sketchbooks, fountain pens, ink and watercolours on your recommendation! I love all your content on urban sketching! Thanks for sharing and for this opportunity for the giveaway!

Though I enjoy all of your

Though I enjoy all of your content, I find I spend most of my time in your channel watching your book and art supply reviews. It seems we have similar tastes in books, so before I ever make an art book purchase I often refer to you for a flip-through and an honest review.

As for the art supplies, I appreciate the fact that we have a large amount of review content available from you. I’ve had a lot of questions about products and art supplies over the years and you often have the answers.

I really do enjoy your whole

I really do enjoy your whole channel. Each new segment is educational and enjoyable, from product reviews and updates to sketching tips. My favorite part of your channel has to be the urban sketching; just seeing the beauty of Singapore is a joy, but when you put pen to paper it's a wonderful reminder that I can get out and sketch too.
Thanks for that, cheers!

I love your urban sketches

I love your urban sketches with a fountain pen and watercolours because i have been writing with fountain pen for forever and never thought to draw with it but it's really great! I also love the bookreviews and urban sketchers groups in action!
Keep it up! Thanks a lot, Marieke

I enjoy the videos where you

I enjoy the videos where you paint with a commentary. I find it helpful to see your process step by step and hear why you’ve made certain choices. I like sketching in pen and ink and painting in watercolour but mine aren’t as loose as yours, which is something I’d like to work on.

I love every video you make

I love every video you make but I love the watercolor art materials review most of all. Really helped me immensely on my watercolor journey. I bought my materials based on your reviews and recommendations.

I used to watch your channel

Definitely the reviews. As a

Definitely the reviews. As a beginner it gives me so much useful info about what to get. Your videos have influenced pretty much all my art supplies choices. Tutorials are a close second.

Hi Teoh, I absolutely love

Hi Teoh, I absolutely love your urban sketching videos and seeing your interactions with other sketchers! As a Singaporean, its really lovely to see how you guys turn the buildings around us into works of art. It’s really calming and inspiring, and I wish I could join urbansketchers too one day (though I will still have to practice a little more!)

Always been too shy to comment on youtube, but just wanted to thank you for producing quality videos for your audience!

I enjoy your timelapse videos

I enjoy your timelapse videos because I found them relaxing and you always give insigthful comments while you're doing it, and also, your advice/thoughts videos about different things, it's like we have a personal art teacher. Aside from that, your channel is really like a one stop shop for all artists, from the tech/books/material reviews down to the tutorials and vlogs etc., the dedication you put to every one of them is astounding, that's why I have great admiration to you and everyone that had helped you.

I really enjoy watching your art process, how you go from a blank page to a full detailed illustration. I find I always learn something new as you have a great way of explaining your intentions. I followed along with your recent video where you painted turnips and its probably the best painting I've ever done!

I looovveee your watercolor

I looovveee your watercolor paper reviews the most! I don't know, I think seeing paper is exciting. Also that vlog going to art supplies store. When you showing all of the stuffs there is satisfying!

I love watching your

I love watching your sketching tutorials. They give me a more insight of drawing techinques and how to measure angles while drawing on site. I do have a bit of drawing background and after watching your inspirational videos, I started to pick up urban sketching recently and started experiences different ways of exploring drawing. Thanks teoh for your guidance and I hope to see more videos from you.

My favorite YouTube channels

My favorite YouTube channels are art channels. I love learning about digital/traditional art, watching speedpaints, watching reviews on art books, etc. I also love watching people DIY dioramas. I’m a digital artist and watching others breakdown items it their simplistic forms helps me better in my own work. I also just love watching people create.

I love all of your review

I love all of your review videos— every one of them! I truly appreciate the depth of knowledge you provide, and it helps me decide what supplies I do and don’t need. Thank you for making videos, and never stop :)

The kind I watch the most are

The kind I watch the most are your reviews, whether they be of drawing tablets, pens, paints, or devices. Though I suspect it's because I love buying art supplies, and I love seeing a professional artist demo them and give his opinion.

Hi Teoh,

Hi Teoh,
I just love your sketch walks and watercolour tutorials.
As a mother of 2 young children and one on the way, I don’t get to sketch on location (though I ll do it the kids are older). These type of videos teach me so much and am able to see different art styles. Thank you for all the inspiration and art.

I really love your ink and

I really love your ink and watercolor work. I love that style and enjoy watching you either sketch on site or from a photograph explaining how you decide which aspects to sketchout so it looks like the place or picture but does not need every detail! Loved your Posca pen discovery and instruction too! Gives your pieces a “mixed media” kinda vibe! Thanks for helping me in my art journey!! Margo

I like to watch the review of

I like to watch the review of watercolor because it gives a whole idea for the watercolor performance. For the beginner, there is so many different brands of watercolor in the market, your review will help for me to make decision before trying all watercolor, and save my money

I am always constantly

I am always constantly looking for ways to improve my drawing and reference books are definitely one of my best " teacher". I definitely looking around on youtube channels for art books for new styles and to explore more in depth.

My favourite type of videos

My favourite type of videos of yours I've found myself binge-watching are your watercolors reviews + demos and your color combinations videos, showing interesting mixtures one can make with a limited pallette. Your videos help me get out of a comfort zone and inspire me to draw different things and have a fun experience!

I really love your sketchbook

I really love your sketchbook videos where you explain which ones are the best for what type of work. It’s a long video and it is perfect to keep me entertained while I draw because just the thought of buying new sketchbooks gets me motivated to finish my current one!

I love watch the reviews of

I love watch the reviews of the products... Your comments help me a lot when it comes to buying new materials.
P.s: sorry my english, isn't my native language... I don't speak english, sorry I do not write English well.

I really like your book and

I really like your book and art supply reviews. It gives me a peek into the book and an artists opinion on materials. I also just love to hear your voice with the birds chirping in the background.

I like watching your art

I like watching your art supplies reviews. Also I enjoyed your videos about choosing your watercolor tubes. I recently created my own portable palette after watching your videos and the blog post with 12 color limited palette. I am a member of Urban Sketchers Mumbai and I love Stephen Reddy.

I started watching your

I started watching your product reviews of electronic gadgets because they are very thorough and honest. Nowadays I mostly watch the urban sketching videos because they show places in Singapore I recognize and it's fun and inspiring to watch your community of artists and friends. I really like the recent video of the sketch at Commonwealth Crescent because that's where I spent my weekends as a child visiting my grandmother - it brought back good memories. Thank you for your hard work in shooting, editing and uploading your videos.

I love the art supplies/books

I love the art supplies/books reviews and tutorials. I found the website and then the youtube channel casually when looking on information on some supplies I wanted to buy. I just love how concise and informative they all are and helped me learn more about other types of art, specially urban sketching. A few years later, the quality of the channel has not declined and there are still lots of content to be explored, and I can't wait to see Teoh's take on them.
Thanks for all the hard work!

I really enjoy your urban

I really enjoy your urban sketching videos. It's so encouraging to see people of all ages and abilities getting out there and painting. I also like your product reviews because they are so thorough and full of beautiful artwork. I’m a MFA student and have learned a lot from your videos. My undergrad degree was not in art, so your process videos are helping me with technique.
