SHOW ME YOUR SKETCHBOOK, BRO! 

Ah yes... my art college experience... me trying to learn drawing, while having never seriously trying before, and everyone circle jerking around me.

I didn't realize artists were "supposed" to have a sketchbook until the internet came around with people posting "sketchbooks" full of publish-quality art. :S

There are 3 things in life you must never ask: - A woman, her age - A man, his salary - *An artist, their sketchbook*

These were my classmates back at college...i was just trying to be better while they were circlejerking

God these types of people are ones that desperately compare and praise each other. Everyone has their art journey, treat each other both respectfully and moderately, not in the over the top way.

The fucking tonal whiplash I had when they started humping the sketchbooks 😭 I thought this would be a wholesome, cute animation but no

I read the comment section first and thought that ‘circlejerking’ was used to punctuate their personal experiences, but the last thing I ever expected was for the animation itself to literally just be that.

Lmao, "switchies?" Was not expecting this whole thing to unfold the way it did.

I love the way the first guy just like teleports almost when he starts sketching. (Also how they're all dogs, but their sketches are all of humans somehow 🤣)

humble bragging is the most insufferable thinggggg eeeeeeee

When I was a teenager, I tried to join a few online art communities so that I could focus on study and improvement. I felt like wherever I went, I was constantly surrounded by people like this. Some of them even bullied me and told me I should quit art and find a hobby I'm actually good at while I'm still young. It felt like I was in a completely different universe than they were. They all cared about clout, followers, internet exposure, connecting with artists with bigger platforms to increase the size of their own. Basically a lot of 'who has the biggest art 🍆?' It took a long time before I was willing to tiptoe into these communities again and I am so happy to have found people who care more about having fun than about who is the best. I've found myself hanging around a lot of less experienced artists as well, making sure nobody dissuades them from drawing or ever makes them feel like their work isnt good enough. I'm just here to have fun. :)

The passive aggressiveness at the beginning of this video is palpable

"yours is longer than mine" "But yours is gurthier and thicker" "love your long hard..." 0:14 Nice gesturing here😂

I'm glad those two bullies have started putting their energy into something more positive, but I wish they wouldn't.

Its exhausting. And some ppl ask to be drawn like... idk im drawing for me, not for other's satisfaction even if that sounds quite selfish

I met one of my closest friends and project partner by stealing his sketchbook and then telling him "you got good stuff, let's make a comic book together" 😂 I wouldn't do something like that nowadays, we were kids back then, but I wouldn't change a thing

Hilarious, I loved the innuendo, this is probably art artist expense, but yeah there is a lot of dick measuring contest in art which I am sadly guilty of it myself. Great job on this dude, keep it up.

I love how we will never know if the dog sipping tea has ever noticed they're being sketched (even better, probably is entertained by the ruckus)

LOL THE LIPS omg I had a classmate like that, where he would low key brag and just be completely obnoxious

I just love the air of snark in all the voice acting

thsese people are toxic. i had a roomate like that in collage. when i rented a seprate home my art improved very soon. these kind of guys destroy your confidence.

There are two kinds of people watching the vid Artists knowing how this feels And others who can't get over how these two are getting tense with each of their sketchbooks...

"send sketchbooks"

Nice to see guys comfortable enough in their sketchualities to show each other and compliment each other

The Blue’s Clues “bow-bow-bow” noises gotta good chuckle outta me. Now it’s going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day 🐾

Love your short but girthy Animation, Bro 👊

This is also a gym experience when the gym bros start correcting each others form

Art students talking to each other outside? On a SUNNY day??? Surely they would have melted More seriously the innuendos were great and the music was * chefs kiss *

I will never show anyone my sketchbook ever again. Someone called me a “Shit ass furry” and said “kys” because they saw one drawing of a dog. Just a normal DOG.

Taking a picture of the sketch page is so relatable. In the early years of my art journey I often did quick, simple figures that I was happy with and took a picture, so that I could look back at it when away from my sketch book. They weren’t complicated sketches at all but as a beginner I was really proud of them. It taught me that no matter how experienced of an artist you are, you can and should always appreciate what you make.

Ugh god... these type of entitled snobbish show-offs. Encountered a few during college

Some people just dont know how to take or give complimnents but also want to feel seen

Wow bro are you on the GRIND today? Doing some Loomis heads or the 100 hands challenge? Oh god me too 💦😩I'm trying to get a job at Riot, Disney, or Blizzard, since no other companies exist that can satisfy my ego👌💯

I did graphic art and design 13 years ago but my teacher and classmates made me hate doing art, so I haven't sketched in such a long while. Don't let others ruin something you enjoy.

wait your humor compliments your animation style more, I liked this! grinned a lot

Not an artist, but its very refreshing to see this behavior called out. Ive seen this behavior numerous times with artists and its just suffocating being around them. Its one thing to seek validation from peers or be self-conscientious about your work. However if its to the point where it starts encroaching on the creative freedoms of others, its a problem. For a field that I view as the inspiration for all those who lack creativity and a challenge to those who would rather rest on their laurels, being free to create as you will, and express as you will is paramount. Its not a contest; its an act to connect to others that transcend beyond words and that should never be trampled on as a means to boost ones own ego.

there's many reasons I fear sketching and drawing in public this is one of the big ones

When encountering salivating, cowboy walking, in heat artists online I prefer the Unreal Tournament rocket launcher. The multi-load function is all about working smarter not harder, you know?

I can't stand humble-bragging artists. They do that constantly on Twitter especially, and it makes me feel like crap.

I will genuinely say people are better than me because I suck at art. All I can draw is my sona and really really buff men. I can't draw scenery for shit, I can't draw stylized illustrations, I can't even draw women, like I legit had friends before who could do the things I couldn't and I was so jealous. Had a friend back in middle school who couldn't draw people for the life of him but drew some of the most breathtaking landscape drawings... I wonder if he knew I had a crush on him.

A... sketchbook-measuring contest?👀 it's not about the size or amount of surface area, but about how you use it😂👌

I lost it by the explosions at the end😂😂😂

God I hate these type of people and hate isn’t the word to describe it. It takes a lot of pain, sweat, experience and tears just for some jerk to say, oh is ok, mines is better, or it could’ve been better. Leave them alone in peace and let them draw!! (Love your animations btw! Sorry about the rant)

I hope we all become masters of our craft and also masters of staying humble

Yeah this is why I've decided to become... quite selective about how I interact with art communities and share my work. It may be limiting my growth on online platforms... but I honestly don't care. That's not my goal right now and I found my unfiltered engagements to be quite awful and demotivating. But since doing that I've healed and have started flourishing again.

Good sketch XD You'll find the most beautiful sketchbooks are the ones deliberately hidden from the masses.

I'm that person who say "wow, soo cool" even if I see bad trad sketches because I know some people need that 🌸

bro the doom noises are lovely (1:35)

I always get excited when I see someone with a sketchbook. I ask if they want to share and it's ok if they don't. Art is such a great way to express ideas and I love seeing how other people get creative.

I met one man like this. Never again, I hope. He was a massive bully and always trying to push whatever shortcomings he had onto me. I make sure to be kind to younger/less experienced artists because of this.

IT TOOK ME 4 DAYS OF REWATCHING THIS TO REALISE THIS WASNT LIKE A 2010-2013 LITTLE MEME THING

didn't expect Doom sounds in a video about art bros circlejerking each other...

The most elaborated joke about art students I've ever seen (and the most time-consuming, I bet). I loved it!

This is sadly very relatable... Fantastic work on this film 💚

I take solace in the fact I'll never be like this, since Im not good at anything in the first place, and mouse-drawing in paint is all I ever do

This reminds me of art class where there was a bunch of bros like this hounding people to see their sketches. I had a couple of pages where I just doodled some shit memes and a bunch of literal ass for my own amusement. Needless to say, the day came they asked to see my sketches. 3 full pages of dickbutt, various Pepes, Rage face memes, and ass being drawn in different styles poses and shapes; was just a shock to them. I have to give them credit for actually keeping composure and sticking to artistic critiques as they even complimented my line work and anatomy; but they never really bothered other people about their sketch books after that and just kept to their own.

This is my new favorite thing you've ever made. Hilarious dialogue matched with incredible expressions

I hope those two are living their best lives together.

God I hate it when other artists would disrespect themselves just cuz they thought I drew "better". This animation is too real 💀 Wonderful work

the adjectives there giving each others sketchbooks are scaring me..

I have no idea what the heck i just watched... But i love it

Deviantart personified. It even has the furries. Amazing.

I feel like i was that type of person. I really regret about this.

Little bro just wanted to draw

Person tries to be social and is randomly dragged for it. Honestly, situations like this can be solved just by actually thinking about other people’s perspective. Consider and understand why someone might strike up a conversation, what might lead them to share their work. And then you know, treat them with decency rather than discarding them for social skills that aren’t perfect.

Honestly never met people with an ego that bad, probably for the best.

Thank GOD i’m not the only one who takes pictures of their sketchbook on the floor 😭😭

Chinese art community in a nushell

my fav level to all this is theyre all about the same level of quality/skill lmao

1:36 Ah, excellent choice of sound effects. You're truly a man of culture.

The "switchies" line made me laugh smh idrk why lol 0:43

This is great. I love the Doom screams at the end, lol.

This was 100% those 2 guys in high school. The one that has copious amounts of anime character "sketches" and the other who has a sketchbook full of DC and Marvel characters. While I was lagitametly just drawing anything that my brain thought up. If you're ever approached by guys who are like this, don't worry. Half the time they're as orginal and creative as a 4chaner. You can be better without being perfect.

Love the msn sound effects ❤

ngl i definitely used to circle jerk w/ friends for the longest time, mostly overcomplimenting bc i felt like i needed to or i was being rude. i've stopped sharing my art with others as much/complimenting people nearly as much and it's made me a much happier artist. i feel less despair now when comparing myself to other artists, and more like they're just my peers

It’s a shame that people like this exist in every creative field.

We all hate this kind of people but hey, don't let them take your focus, keep practicing :3

While I never went to Uni/College to study art, I did have similar encounters in High School that would lead me to typically hiding or not showing my sketchbook. There was however one experience that really makes me cringe to think back on. During years 7 - 9 I had an art teacher who.. truthfully wasn't great. I don't mean she was a bad artist or teacher, however she just liked to really force her views and perspectives on your art if that makes sense. Before you ask, no, this wasn't me going "The teacher wants me to try drawing with charcoal but I don't want to >:c" or "Teacher wants me to practice portraits and anatomy but I want to draw cars instead", I always enjoyed experimenting with other mediums, subjects and styles even though I preferred traditional art of landscapes, cars and anime-esque characters. No, it was more like; Teacher: "Wow, cool landscape! Now you should try making it look like a hellish wasteland instead of serene natural hills!" I'm not joking, if your art wasn't "wacky" or "unique" in her eyes you would get a lower grade. Years 10 - 11 were much better with our new teacher who didn't tell us what or how to create our art, but rather graded it specifically depending on the medium, style and composition, which felt much better than being made to do an assignment in a medium I have no idea how to create in nor any prior practice in _cough_ clay sculpting _cough cough_

I just hate when people do this in general 🙄 there's no quicker way to become dislikable than to try to one-up everyone in everything. I also hate when this happens when I very clearly did not ask for their opinion 😅 hell, it happened at work once when I was using the downtime at the desk to sketch a lil and some dude randomly decided to give me advice on drawing realistic ears when I was working on my next dino tattoo, like sir what? 🤣

I just realized this was posted yesterday and I was thinking it was something from several years ago, because that's usually how it goes with good animation randomly reccomended by youtube

Wow, this is the same guy who taught me how to use after effects 6 years ago? Never thought I’d see you again! Lmao Anywho, I’m glad you made this video, I know a lot of condescending artist who does this to me all the time! So I’m glad I’m not the only one! Btw, your animation is not girthier enough 😂

0:54 EXCUSE ME BUT OMG THAT WAS SUPER DIRTY I DIDNT EXPECTED THAT XDDDDDD

This is the thickest animation ever bro... 🔥

is nobody gonna question the dogs drawing humans? great animation, this really made me laugh

The random rocket launcher and the doom sounds were just the cherry on top lol

Oh my god not the girthy thick sketchbook

"Oh yea, the raw energy" With sketchbooks is crazy

This is some of tge most adorable animation i have ever seen

It’s not the size of the sketchbook that matters, but how you use it.

In all seriousness, draw whatever you dang well feel like in your sketchbooks, and not concern yourself with how others use and/or view theirs.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why art people never cease to annoy me.

"Switchies!!!" Killed me 💀💀💀

why do i have a feeling there is gonna be a ton of NSFW stuff very soon of this

the writer knew what he was doing i ship tho

I remember a guy who is the opposite of this: he was extremely good at drawing, especially drawing mechs, but he didn’t really “hmmm,ur mech drawing looks weird” my drawing which i am thankful for.

So nice to see a new short from you.

Yeah "sketch book"

it do be girthy tho 😂 great voice work too funny

Ngl in this part 0:00 Sounded like Ethereal Workshop

It’s really important to call people out for this type of behavior, rather than just silently hate them. Many people, despite the best intentions, just don’t have the social awareness to recognize that they’re being rude.
