Remember dudes: Step 1: Fropping. Step 2: Shape the shapes.

great sketchbook! i'm not into mechas, but your ink drawings make me appreciate how much work and thought goes into that genre of art. and the way your reflect on sketches is very insightful. took a couple of ideas for my own practice, thanks!

I like how your sketchbook is filled with ACTUAL SKETCHES. I see way too many sketchbooks where people have whole ass paintings in them and I usually just draw rough head portraits and anatomy practice. It's cool seeing someone whose sketchbook video is just practicing studies 13:10 this page isn't ugly at all. The drawings are amazing and it's cool to see ur work in progress.

4:53 This "downloading" and "installing" analogy is so good. I heard this same description for a skill from my sports trainer and this is perfect. Sometimes we hear and believe we understand something/ a skill or sequence, but then go to replicate it, even a few seconds later and find it difficult to emulate entirely, or recall in the correct timing. I never applied that thought to my art however, and this is a great addition. Thanks for this raw description and walk through. Also find it funny how you say "this is ugly or i'm drawing ugly"... you have impeccable line work and proportions my guy. Excellent Video and drawings. Thank you!!

Seeing this is very helpful for me to finally understand how to tackle a sketchbook. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember and am not too bad at it, but I have never taken the time to properly practice.

This was a nice reminder that I dont need to study literally everything to be good at art - I can just focus on studying things that I enjoy and am interested in studying. Its so easy to get overwhelmed with what I feel like I should draw vs. what I actually want to draw. Thank you, I will be applying many of these tips in my sketchbook from now on!

this is basically all I do (after just doing anatomy/figure for a long time). I'd like to actually do more illustrations sometimes especially since long-form texture/detail rendering is its own skill, but I never feel like I'm ready since there are so many things to analyze and learn about.

I have felt lost on my art for a long while. Your sketch book is inspiring, reminding me how i used to study art before. Thank you so much for sharing it.

This is probably the most useful sketchbook development video I have seen to date. Thank you! Also, the guy with the staff that you thought was "too skinny," if you want to make him really creepy, keep him skinny, define the muscles a bit like they would be on a skinny guy, maybe show his ribs and some loose skin near his waist, make his hair stringy and greasy-looking, and mess up his visible teeth. I think the drawing is cool!

Perspective, simple shapes into complex shapes, write notes and use different colored pens, be messy, and what seems most important is to focus on what you’re interested in or find what you’re interested in within’ everything, jot down it all. Build a mental library, try to figure out how something was build or works, be interested in the world around you, be creative. Uhh what seems most important is to have a focus on something you are interested in, and write notes to better understand something in your own words, and try thing despite not being good because you want to get better and have the potential to grow

Honestly. When people have sketchbooks pilled up to me is art on its own ❤

I love the way you study in your sketchbook. Seeing the process to your sketches and how you are learning makes all the puzzle pieces come together.

this REALLY helped me! I 100 percent agree with your final thoughts about the fog of war and I so appreciate you sharing the "downloading/installing" sides of your practice. I know that this will help me put more of my sketches to good use learning rather than just feeling stuck with a blank page in front of me! Thanks so much for sharing!

i find you so much more understandable and relatable than the typical artist teacher online and in person. Your work and words are highly education because they are to the point! no waffling! no going on about the rules and getting bogged down by details. pure art is observation, and that is what you are showing. Love your work and always enjoy watching your videos.

you explaining u re process opens new doors for me , i love looking at ur sketchbooks even tho im not a mecha person , love the composition exercises u did here

i'm always so blown away by people's art styles and abilities 😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️ this is so impressive!!!

This is so helpful breaking down what to focus on and how to tackle with creativity. Thank you!

I'm very thankful of your content, and how honest are you w your process, your really encourage me to make art and projects, to continue learning, it's really inspiring.

I love love love the atmosphere…..the contrast is so aesthetically pleasing 🥹 have loved watching your style develop so far and can’t wait to see more!!! Don’t stop creating!!

excited to see the portrait study arc

You did an amazing job explaining your PROCESS which is VERY useful to me. Thank you so much!

I’ve been feeling so bored with art lately but watching this video again inspires me so much because this art is incredibly appealing to me…

Love the download / install analogy. Great tips that I’ll definitely use in my own sketchbooks ✌🏼❤️

this is pure artistic candy. I love it every time you upload

Really helpful and awesome sketchbook spreads! I need to practice life drawings more, especially ink!! But what i find so fascinating is how you get the perspective so good without a pencil layer

I'm so glad to see a new video on your channel (as usual). And as always very informative, not only on the skill part but also about the way you think or study a subject. My favorite part of this sketchbook, is your work on "framing" / "croping" and "compositing" a wide shot / cinema-movie shot. The point which amazed me the most, is the double page about the movie Dune. Before you start to explain, i've immediatly recognize the atmosphere and the very particular architecture seen in the movie. Love your work !!! (ps : sorry about my crappy english, that's not my native language and as a french everybodies know we suck in english ahaha)

one of the most helpful videos evveeeerrr!!!! i always get lazy or even scared to draw and ended up not liking it however your teaching everyone to take a sketch as a book and study everything and draw whatever you want on the purpose of learning not making it beautiful omggg u changed mu pov soo much im very thankful

this was super inspiring! i’ve only been drawing more seriously for close to two years so i’m definitely not at this level, but seeing this made me want to experiment and practice

this is amazing😭😭😭 I love it

ahh I'm so happy I watched until the end! You have amazing advice that feels attainable for someone like me really wanting to improve:) thank you!

Great stuff! Always love a good sketchbook tour!

Why is it that for the longest time I thought this was like illegal? Thanks for showing us your sketchbook, totally inspiring me to get started on my own "training arc" sketchbook as a beginner! 💞

All of this is so beautiful. So talented 😲

Love your work bro!!

Hello! I just wanted to say that you are my favourite art youtuber and I really enjoy your videos and your mindset towards sketchbooks and studying art. Keep it up!!! 👍👍👍

What a great sketchbook! This convinced me to try out movie frame studies!

I love these little books and how you keep them all. I admit I started throwing them away as I move too much to keep anything I can't carry. Will start my own journey too sometimes I just need to draw more to improve

One of the best videos on how to use your sketchbook. To study, to analyze, to redraw. Love what you said sketching is like…exploring not knowing which direction you are going like in a video game. Also I like what you had said about writing what your purpose/intentions are for a sketchbook.

your videos always inspire me so much and make me want to go do art. Thank you for sharing your sketchbook!

This video is by far one of the most helpful videos i've ever seen

LOVE IT

this sketchbook is a masterpiece

I loved this video. When you mentioned the sketch book and how you split it in half, where you did a study on one side and applied it to the other side of the page. I also do the same thing. I personally find it as one the best way to improve at art. I recently came back to drawing and that is the process I employed. I've made big jumps in my style and art details. My hatching has improved immensely and my control of the line weight has really helped in creating detail and also adding character to the drawing. The way you did it was well organized you used certain colors to signal for the type of line it was, great attention to detail. Great video overall.

YESSS SKETCHBOOK TOUR!!! YIPPEEEE

Thank you for sharing your sketchbook! I always love seeing the learning process and creative process of other artists! So inspiring and motivating! I would like to do more sketches in sketch books! Never been really good at finishing sketchbooks! But thank you for the tips and advice!! I want to continue to improve and level up too! Going to build my own sketchbook collection!!! Keep up the amazing work!! Love what you're creating!

Can’t wait

The reference to RTS revealing the map as you learn about art really hit home for me. Push back the fog of war!

This is a really good idea. I never realized but I do a lot of studies without then incorporating the ideas into something else. Also great to see labelled ink test pages. I do those, and I thought it was a silly habit at first, but it is actually really helpful for when I go back and look and a color really pops out at me that I haven't used for awhile.

One of my fav video of you it's was so inspiring and relaxing !

actually a w add

I can't wait

Super interesting point of view on sketchbooks! Will def implement this thinking in my own sketches

The fog of war is my new favourite analogy about art

This is such a helpful video! Thank you for sharing. I am not trying to be a concept artist, I’m actually a cinematographer, and I know a lot of these principles when I’m shooting, but I’m struggling to incorporate what I know into my art, and thinking about it the way you outlined is really useful. I actually never create a frame in my sketchbook, because I focus on objects or people, but I definitely want to start doing that now to improve my composition! Thank you! Love everything on your channel always.

you are so wise in art it's like you skipped 10 years experience 1 year i am looking forward to learn from you. thank you

great video. the type of drawing you mention doing on the scarab at 10:50 is called an eidotype; typically used in architecture to understand composition of specific building details. great job using it on the scarab beetle

I have the same mindset like u.we see drawing as crafting and its not about just make the drawing look beautiful.

This is so sick

Beautiful love my sketch books.

This was so interesting to watch since your clique of drawing is so much different than mine. I really admire the simplicity of it yet it shows so much detail. Thank you for sharing this, amazing work my friend. ❤

This sketchbook is on a different level, i am so impressed but also inspired by it! Thanks for showing it! It also helped me A LOT not seeing the (what i call) "online/insta Art" (mostly conventionally attractive girls, big eyes, trendy style...) because it reminded me that there is a whole world of art and only bc we are confronted with this insta-style (thats mostly popular bc it is so appealing to look at not only for artists, but also for non artists and people of other industries. These artworks and styles seem like a copy of what is shown on social media anyways, with the difference that its not a photo of an influencer but a drawing. Also no hate to these artist and creators!) doesn't mean that we can't draw differently. It is really hard, and harder than i thought, to not surround oneself with the same type of art content and references cause you can easily fall into the mechanism of always drawing the same thing over and over again and by that not improving.

best art videos on youtube

Dude you should be an art teacher

You explained your process really well! Thank you so much for sharing!

Your studies look like much better than my best! Awesome stuff man, thanks for sharing.

This kind of painting is amazing! I admire you very much! Learn from you❤I hope I can draw better and better.😊

This inspired me to get back into drawing traditionally and to start a sketchbook where I only use pens/non erasable things let’s see how this goes!

Lovely!

Awesome book

No goals, just curiosity! This is the best advice ever thank you

Your work is very inspiring 😊
