The Essential Non-Essential Urban Sketching Gear 

This felt like "behind the scenes USK symposium" / "bloopers"! I love it!

What fun this was! I don't persist in the kind of wind you were experiencing, so I'm honoring your dedication! And, oh ... that last segment about the essential non-essential massage gun was a HOOT! 😄 I'm grateful for all your videos. Thank you for being such an excellent correspondent. 🙏

Love the sketches! The massage gun looks absolutely fab 😁

At first I thought there was something off with the whitepoint of the video, but then I realized it was very cold and that makes everyone and everything look bleaker. The lunch at 4:44 brought back the warmth. Bone marrow on sourdough bread and oysters, what a luxury! I guess they have some great fusion cooking going on in Australia and New Zealand. 3:34 don't worry about the building, it still has the same impression on the sketch like how it is in reality. Great sketches and nice video!

Teoh, luv the speedy ink and watercolour sketches. Here in my Vancouver home we are always dodging the rains and seeking the sunny spots as the clouds break. Reminds me of home. The conference videos were fantastic, and so is the venue....

Love all your videos, plus you are such a nice sincere guy.

Cool, I think 🤔 that is definitely a must for sketchers & artists for sure. 😂❤ I love how both of your sketches turned out & it looks like you’re enjoying a wonderful time together at the symposium!

Your best video from New Zealand so far! Thx, Teoh!

If the wind in Auckland yesterday was the same as here in Te Awamutu, I'm surprised you could feel your fingers doing the first sketch. Glad to see you picked up a jacket too since you left yours behind. It's a shame that the weather deteriorated towards the end of the symposium but I guess it could have been worse. Have a safe trip home 😃

That was just such a fun video to watch. And I love your confidence when sketching & painting.

what a happy crowd! love it :)

Great video. Lots of things showcased. Thanks for taking us along. 😁

it's a shame it started raining, that building was beautiful

Just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this 💕💕💕💕

Love the 2 page wide angle!

She's an amazing Hypervolt salesman! At $350 US, they're incredibly expensive. I have the Bob and Brad massage gun. At about $110 USD, it doesn't stall on my muscles at all, and I am fairly large.

Are you going to get to see any of the rest of the country? I think you’d like Wellington a lot.

I have an Osim wear-on massage vest so you don’t have to hold the heavy gun. Just sit back and relax while the vest does all the heavy drumming and kneading on the back.

😁😁👍👍 perfect moments. Thank you for sharing.

Love the Church building 👍 and yep I need to get that massage device immediately 😂 thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

Looks essential to me!❤

Thank you for everything you recorded for us in New Zealand! One question: I didn't understand which sketchbook "Sketcher Ben" uses - and do you happen to know which colours they are? Kind regards Birte

Lol I want the massage gun now 🤣

I notice you're using the Whiskey Painters or similar bijou box with the built in water flask and cup and not the portable painter you showed in your packing video. One thing I've experienced with the Whiskey Painters flask box is that water doesn't pour easily from the internal reservoir which is kind of annoying. (Can and should carry water separately, but that's so nice I'd like to use all the features.) And some very inspiring sketches, thanks! It's a pleasure to watch you create and hear you talk about them.

What is the pen you used to sketch with. I use uniball air in the USA but the ink wasn't waterproof it would run and wash out when I tried to paint over it.

The bg music reminds me of Geometry Dash

I want the unboxing and review of thr massage gun please

Awesome haha

Teoh, you're the best! Thank you so much. Now where do I get one of those massage guns? Are you going to become a distributor? :-)

What was the pen you were using in these sketches Theo?

I love your videos and have followed your channel for years. I have a favor to ask: could you refrain from posting lead in pictures that imply people holding weapons? I know these are muscle relaxing devices but could you use your smart creative mind to avoid triggering the thousands of us who are dealing with gun violence on a personal level. Point in fact, here in the US many of us are traumatized by losing loved ones to senseless gun violence and I know many folks around the world are suffering from the same physical and emotional pain. Art has been my refuge from the chaos, please consider the photos you post . I have no doubt many people think my reaction is nonsense, but I didn’t look to make this pain a permanent place in my life or my mind but sadly it is what it is. I am glad I was able to look past the trigger picture so I could enjoy another of your wonderful videos. I actually own one of those muscle therapy devices to help my husband who suffers from chronic pain but I have not mentally equated it to a weapon until I saw your photo. 🙁
