Finishing a sketchbook in 10 days 

having a holiday should also be fun/relaxing, forcing yourself to fill a travel sketchbook if it's gonna make yourself stressed and feel anxious isn't really what i'd call a good time :P if i draw on holidays it's because i actively want to, and it's always nice to look back on those drawings

Hands down one of my favorite art focused channels! The analogy between a camera and a sketchbook also resonates heavily and is so valid.

omg ive never seen an airport that nice 🥹

This brother is so pretty???

Your editing skills are getting way better, you have put in the work clearly

I approach travel sketchbooks very differently. I use it as downtime as things catch my eye rather than actively seeking to record. While it’s nice to have a sketchbook per trip, I’ll often fill it with other holidays too 😊

You are so insanely good at art and this video looks amazing

wow even the trailer is beautifully edited

the insight of not taking pictures just to fill up the memory card is brilliant.

Chroma Moma video editing skills are getting super good!

i liked the last part when he cut out those blank pages

i don't usually comment on videos but honestly i'm so glad to have discovered your channel, truly a big inspiration!

I see you have Patlabor in the background, truly you are a man of fine taste.

your videos get bettere each one

A while back I bought a regular sketchbook to use for a “travel sketchbook” and figured I’d fill it in the three weeks I was away. I think I filled about 7 pages 😅 but now it’s for whenever I travel anywhere and I just make a new location page to indicate where the drawings following it where made. Definitely going to need to try the smaller sketchbook method- once I finish this first one…

love the tip for bring washi tape if your planning to make a travel sketchbook, but LOL cutting out the blank pages of the sketchbook, amazing love that

This makes me so sad, I have such a different perspective on travel sketchbooks... I look FORWARD to drawing when I travel!! But also I ALWAYS keep one, even when I haven't left my home city in 2 years. I would bring whatever travel sketchbook I was already working on before I left for my vacation. I do also prioritize enjoying myself over drawing, and I take TONS of photographs I can draw from when I get back. I actually tried doing Inktober while visiting my sick mother-in-law in Oct 2020 (yep pandemic travel... Crazy times) but promptly gave up so I could enjoy being elsewhere and spend time with my MIL. (She's feeling much better now for the record! It's a miracle cause we thought she was gonna die, thus the traveling in the middle of a pandemic.) This is one of the reasons I don't let art become more than a hobby. If I started doing it for a living I'd start "grinding" and then I'd hate it. I'm sorry grind culture left such a deep impact on your ability to slow down and enjoy things! I struggle with that a bit too, and I have to remind myself of the wisdom that rest is equally important to work and actually makes you more productive.

so much to think about, as always. appreciate your honesty and the fun bits 😄 I've wanted to fill a similar small sketchbook with memories from a trip but never got to it. and I was pretty devastated about it, too. but usually I travel with people who don't draw and it I don't feel the need to draw when I'm with them. maybe someday I'll go on a sketch tour with someone :) maybe by myself even!

I love to bring a sketchbook traveling. But I don’t try to fill it. Usually I only have a few pages by the time the trip is over. It’s important to rest and have fun on vacation.

Un sketchbook de viaje... ¿No se supone que se dibujan cosas del viaje? Tu sketchbook es sólo un montón de dibujos que hiciste durante tu viaje, pero no sobre él.

YO !!!!!!!!!!!!!CHROMA , I've been looking at some of your videos my friend, you got some good talent and some good ideas glad to see that your safe and doing fantastic keep it up , and when you coming back to RU-vid bro hopefully soon stay blessed and stay safe ANANDA

Really wonderful thougts and points. Superb!

Will watch later ! My day is a better one today chroma uploaded lol :)

You're definitely one of my biggest inspirations as an artist and content creator, I want to visit Singapore now lol, great video!

this video was so fun. i love that analogy at the end. thank you for sharing your process & life with us! 🙂

I can't wait

well .wanna a promotion?,Chroma, ))

7:43 Hey man what anime is playing in the background?

Incredible...was just lingering around and wondering about your next visit. See you tomorrow, amigo

your human drawings are looking so much better.

Did you get comply foam tips for your WMF-1000MX3s? They literally saved the headphones for me. Anyway, there are few things I am fonder of than being the first one up on a lazy vacation morning, enjoying some kind of idealistic breakfast and an energy drink, then drawing as I overlook the ocean, as the bit of nighttime fog dissipates in the morning sun.

Do you find that after climbing your arms are so sore drawing gets harder? When I go climbing my forearms feel so sore after that my drawing feels shaky 😅

Hoo boy, that bit in the middle about not losing your love for art and creating solely as a freelancer who NEEDS to in order to take money hit XD I've been afraid of that ever since I saw it happen while I was in art school. I do like the notes on hoarding mode, I think everyone forgets a sketchbook doesn't need to just be drawing after drawing. If youve got ticket stubs, tape, funny stickers, printed photos, they're great to help record your travel while not putting so much pressure on yourself to fill EVERY page chock full of drawings. Banger of a video, seems like it was a fun trip!

I laughed out loud when you cut out the pages at the end. I went to Australia recently and also did not finish my small sketchbook and they are pages left at the end. Seems pointless to fill it in now, might just cut them out XD On a side note, don't be so harsh on yourself, I learned that the hard way (and still am tbh) but resting is ok and important. If you can afford to chill and do nothing, enjoy the days where you just are.

Commenting mostly for the algorithm because I don't have anything particularly novel to say, but your skills as a video producer have steadily improved the whole time I've been subscribed and I think that's really cool! It's something to be proud of.

Felt pain when he cut the pages

I definitely want to do this the next time I went to a trip

When I sketch while traveling it is usually to slow down and really take in the moment. I also enjoy collaging stuff in my sketchbook in the evening or sketching from a reference photo if there isn’t time in the moment. I don’t worry about the blank space at the back because I know I can always glue in other receipts, printed photos, or brochures that I find when unpacking 😊

Hey chroma, i got a serius question. I really need a sketchbook, because mine is almost finished, and the only sketchbook at my local store is a tiny papyrus (the brand's name i think) sketchbook and i already finished one sketchbook of this kind, and im about to finish the other one as i said before, and this sketchbook is tiny and dont have a hard texture, like i love, i mean, it got some textures, its not like a regular office a4 paper sheet but the texture still isnt that hard. So i wanted to order a sketchbook from the internet, but all the sketchbooks i see reviews on are very expensive and i could'nt find any other sketchbooks, so i would like to know what sketch you use. Btw love your content! :D

just wanted to say that this is probably my favorite art channel, i just love his art style and the way he approaches things. it always makes me want to go do art myself. thanks for the amazing videos!

Fun video man - drinking my first coffee this morning and watching, I enjoyed the vibe.

I now have something new on my "try once" list...Thank you

Dare I say, your best? Awesome, story-line in there, recognizable. Whenever I am on a trip, I sanctimoniously want to see as much as possible and sit down and take it in. Sketching is the borderland, because it takes time away from running around and yet it gives you the best way to capture your subject in your brain forever. ps. I hunger for being in Asia again. Indonesia especially.

The ending... SUPERB! Imma do that IMMEDIATELY with ALL of mine. Lol but DEAD serious

I'm glad I watched this video - I have an upcoming trip where I was planning to also draw and vlog my travels and this gave me a good insight of 'to dos' and 'not to dos'. Also LOVE THE ENDING I am definitely doing that if I don't finish it hahaha (it definitely takes off the pressure of 'having' to finish it for sure!!)

The pressure to finish a travel sketchbook tends to mean I never start it. This was rather helpful in taking away some of that pressure. So thank you. Also - Patlabor

I did something similar on my study abroad to Japan, well, it was required for the class but I had fun making it.

If I tried to fill a travel sketchbook my only memories of the trip would be of drawing.

I love the ending. I was like "I couldn't leave the pages empty but I know it would be really hard for me to come back to it" And then you solved it so easily, I love it

I am too distracted by literally everything that exists around me that I have no real want to sketch it about 90% of the time. I would rather stare at each blade of grass that I technically saw hundreds of times before but not at that location than sit down for 15 - 30 mins, make people I travel with wait for me (as I haven't traveled alone for a holiday/leisure), and I make a mediocre study, and even better, utterly forget about it. I sometimes go through my drawings I do spot said studies and only the near finished ones immediately remind me my point of reference, day, context, weather and memories. Instead, I use my small pads to get creative ideas that flash in my mind down as quickly as possible for possible projects and THOSE actually manage to help me remember the context in which was made! I just have a small EDC (Every Day Carry) I take anywhere and that has been amazing! Good luck to anyone wanting to find what best works for them!

Я не пойму, это твои рисунки или не твои? Даже если ты срисовываал их своею рукою, я не вижу в этом ничего дурного. Может, в будущем ты научишься рисовать так, что будешь зарисовывать свои собственные идеи и мысли. Главное, на этом не останавливаться.

"I can put it in my pocket" said no female artists ever. WE DEMAND EQUAL POCKETS, DARN IT!

This is all amazing but I gotta know - what is the music you used for this video? It sounds like Riot Music’s “Sessions”??

Initially in the video I did think it's a clickbait bcoz u were filling pages and showing us where u went but the moment u started tearing the pages I was like no it ain't a clickbait. And you're videos like always manage to make me laugh. But again stop cheating or atleast do it discretely.... 💁🤣

gorgeous video, hope you had a nice time on your vacation!

All the ladies when you just slipped that sketchbook in you pocket be baffeled..

I don't understand if these are your drawings or not? Even if you copied them with your own hand, I don't see anything wrong with that. Maybe in the future you will learn to draw in such a way that you will sketch your own ideas and thoughts. The main thing is not to stop there.

Greeting from medan, north Sumatera. I’m your big fan ✌️😄

Awesome video your drawings still seem amazing to be honest

Amazing video 📹 👏 love it ❤️

It's not a homework assignment bro....chill.

Cool to see this mix of travel video and art! I sketched a little on my recent trips, but I took a lot of reference photos and finished the illustrations inspired by the trip at home.

4:02 only gangsters are allowed to have this password, such as Chroma Moma.

Muji sells some cool art supplies quite good quality for the money.

Wow. I never gone to Singapore before, but it just look like HK!

patlabor the movie in the background? nice!

can anyone please tell me the title of the music at 5:51??? i felt the urge to draw when it played, i really need it to help me kick a start..... 😩

I really dig these videos dude. Makes me want to actually try and make my own videos too

Enjoyed the video! That Singapore airport is just immaculate !!!

I have a travel sketchbook i bring everywhere i want to paint and i do gouache paintings in it and sometimes i dont get to paint on location so i take a picture and paint it later and for me its dope because its like a memory photo book and i get to remember all the places i went

whats your Travel Pen for drawing?

8:26 ARTISTS HATE THIS ONE TRICK! HOW TO EASILY FILL YOUR SKETCHBOOK!

Love your obsessive naive crazy vibes when it comes to your art 😂

Thank you Chroma

I literally just came home a few hours ago from a 4 day trip. Brought a sketch book with me for the first time and was able to roughly draw only 4 sceneries of the place. Wanted it to be a scenery oriented book. And can't agree more with you on having less time to go brain dead and chill out instead there was I alone doing a sketch while everyone else I was with was roaming around. But all I can say is those sketches were very fun to do. Will try the sticking stuff idea next time.

4:18 yoo where can i get those stamps from??

that safe password caught me off guard lmao

What a based way to finish a sketchbook

Awesome vid! Also, Patlabor is one of my favorite movies of all time! 🦾

As a Singaporean, watching someone get so excited about our airport is really funny but also makes me very proud 😊

Whats the music called in the intro?

You just gave me mark lee nct vibe

Your videos are improving day by day.

The Waffle House has found its new host

it's obvious you put a ton of effort in to these videos, keep up the quality man :)

You lied, do you mean it? I don't get it!

you still play candy crush?

That's one way to do it. 😂😂😂😂😂

Talking about goblin-hoarding mode, I have a whole folder of receipts and cool bits from Japan in 2018, but the travel journal is full. I can’t let go of the rest til we can go again, and I can draw some more! 😅

Wow YOU young man are SO COOL. I love drawing Watching from England UK .

you are my favourite art youtuber, and it is very interesting to see you travel and do art. I love your art style!

simplismente incrivel

What a fun video

Wow I was thinking of starting a travel sketchbook but with the intention of journaling and draw some memories and ideas that usually cme to my mind when I travel, since traveling always brings me new ideas and my brain is saturated haha. I just discovered your channel with a video that helped me a lot. Thank you! ❤

Can you make your aspect ratio 4:3 next time? Currently it's a bit ultrawide and 4:3 is a throwback to old days of RU-vid.

10 Dollar, for that small thing!. that's the biggest lie of them all.

where is that at 6:40?

ah i'v been lied to ...

What was the outro song? loved the video, I do appreciate how you tend to give an honest, not so romaticized opinion on stuff

Bro the transition of you talking about the grind to you taking shots with your friend was SO CLEAN
