Saori's Sketchbook

[treforthomas]

really awesome



[MangaArtA]

it was shaky but it wasnt too bad. u did a good job

[TheFlavourX]

this one rocks man it opened my eyes....i really need to shit out my lazyness..........it could have been much better if the perspective of Saori is narrated.........i mean the way she see's the things

[booboo42kaala]

i like the old video design where you used 2 do an informal raw video, it made me get inspiration and feel free and happy everytime i would c a new video. i mean the drawings are amazing but i prefer the more informal approach

[purpleshocks]

I prefer the shaky vids, because you can actually hear reactions, and it's not just still of the best images, it's all of it, which I appreciate.

[youtberr3]

I like the still sketchbooks because you can have time to focus on the work better. But, if there are gonna be shaky iphone videos, it would be nice if the artists commented on thier own work.

:)

[aureliaheng]

i love the 'shaky version' which is not as shaky as u mentioned. thank you so much n Saori for sharing.. it really insipires me to start to learn drawing to pursue my childhood dream :D

[Cinnamonster100]

love her work!

[0neoftheboyz]

What would really be helpful to me (a beginner artist) is if you would sit down with certain (willing) students while they're drawing, sketching, creating art in the moment and broadcast how certain idea's are done and such. The finish product is always so very nice but my beginner hands feels like they could never create such beauty :(

[VintageBlueBubbelgum]

i have 2 questions for you,

1:is that red pencil or pen?and where do you get it if its a pencil.

2:is your school a college or highschool?

[ghostie7790]

I like the shaky vids, since sometimes the artists gets to share their thoughts on what they drew. it makes ut a little more personal, which I think someone else stated as well. :) Great class

[ghostie7790]

someone better friken hire that girl.

[nosineb]

Saori's work is terrific. I don't mind stills, or a shakey video. Both are great.

One thing I have to say is this. Saori is sooo lucky having such a brilliant tutor as you. Your enthusiasm, and encouragement is something that would have made me want to please you 30 years ago when I was studying art. Our young kids need guys like you. Who knows what the potential talent is we have out there? We need more people like you Mathew.

[namiwolflover14]

i like the shakey i phone video.

[escaloperno]

brigdman and hampton EVERYWHERE

[TMcocoa]

i like the imformal shaky videos better

[DKAYSPAZZ]

look its lady gaga at 2:00 !! =)

[mstyleone]

i liked the shaky vids because to me its more personal...you can hear some voices on the background and alot of times you can see that you are in the zoo or in the park and the wind is flipping the pages. If i want to take a good look at something i just click the pause button :) i dont know why but i hate slideshows its stiff and it looks dead to me

[SlinkyDragon]

Personally, I like the stills, if the point is to showcase the sketch book then I'd like to be able to see the art clearly. The stills acomplish this nicely.

[twistedtree01]

mats gotta stop drinking then he'd be steady

[leojosepila]

I like it more when you are talking because it's more informative and it's not boring. Also when you're talking to your students. I wish I live where you are living and studying where you teach, I also took fine arts here in the Philippines I've lot alot but I find it that I'd be more creative if I studied there.

[MacMalte]

its ok. not to shaky :-) informal style i ilke. so i get a lot of art to see! Greetings from Germany/Hamburg

[kupotenshi]

I like the video, it wasn't all that shaky to be honest. Beautiful sketchbook, makes me wanna go and draw right now!

[Viktoire25]

Loooove it!!!

[KandiSOUL]

i like the sketchbook vides with just the stills and voice over. i think u shuld talk about like the way she draws and stuff, talk about her style and why u like her drawings, kinda like wat u did on this one. i might do something like this for myself, i culd use alot of feedback. :)

[robotman16]

I like the informal, page flipping.

[gagan4217]

stills



[StevenBlender]

i dont like the stills as much

[x9xarchangelx9x]

I prefer stills. Anyways this is a fantastic sketchbook! Is saori like Japanese or something?

[LlamaYamaLlama]

@x9xarchangelx9x Yes Saori is a Japanese name

[climbr7]

I didn't think the video was that shaky actually. I like the candid videos more than the stills, but you should take good steady stills of your favorite drawings in the video and put those at the end and maybe talk about them more then

[ScottiLady]

I like the one's when you're talking with the artists and stuff like that much more then the stills!

[jeromefillierjer3]

i like the stills better it gives you the ability to focus on discussing the sketchbook use the video part to introduce the artist and have them tell a little about them self's ... always look forward to your videos

[undermoonlightglow]

A very powerful sketchbook.

[BoyOfLol]

日本人ね。いいですね！

私は貴方の文章が大好きで、そして描画が。ありがとう！

[davidcomingup]

I like it when you just go in and look at the sketch book and talk with the artist. I was wondering is there a foundation course students have to go through to get in your class?

[liefpandabeertje]

gorgeous!!

[102fuzzbuzz]

AMAZING!!!

[aimeebaines]

The stills are prefferable - that is If you get all the images!

[Darkbulb1]

I like the video of the sketchbook off the iphone

[resastar200]

Opps..... Shaking

[resastar200]

You can barally see the saking

[resastar200]

I lik the sketchbook keep it the way it is i DONT like the still shots

[markfichera]

Matthew, I just viewed the second part of your video and I would like to change my mind (I wrote the comment just below). The way you emphisize certain things about the drawing in your comments and synchronize it with your visual emphisisis and framing is such a vibrant way of showcasing drawings that, I think, is the way to go.

[markfichera]

Still images with Voiceover commentary is visually superior for it intensifies the beauty of the drawings when they are still. I personally find the looseness of the sketchbook is more enjoyable then the finished composed pieces. Superlative job Matthew, Keep Up The Good Work!

[rubblerocks]

I like the poses very much. The body positioning is fantastic.

[KezarDraws]

loved it

[nonieaziz]

Keep d videos coming!

[nonieaziz]

Stills + voice over please! A video introducing the artists would b great too. Keep up t

[TheRaenFall]

I like half stills and voice over and half video :)

[nicotikibird]

love her marker stuff <3

[grantzemont]

Shaky video and who the artist is are the most important aspects to me. Makes everything more real and inspirational. The stills are just a nice-to-have.

[radio667]

Stills and voice over is the best IMO 

[Digitalwolf333]

stills and HD, or HD video :D.

[25thivy]

i like it this way better !!!

[lythex1]

i like the old shaky iphone videos lol

[PastorErickDMarquez]

WOW SHE IS REALLY AWESOME .... GREAT AND SEASONED HANDS

[ausstin625]

Definitely jus KEEP IT LIKE YOU DID THIS VIDEO. HALF AND HALF.

[ThePowersinYourHands]

what i like is to see the people who drew the sketches

[lythex1]

WOOT!!!! the sketchbooks are back!

[TriforceWarrior]

Yay a new sketchbook! =^o^=

Saori's style is amazing, I adore the cartoony style and I think the traditional drawings she made are amazing...I wish I could do that...so much to learn *sigh* but this only makes me want to keep learning, so thank you for posting these, they inspire me =^-^=

Ooh, and as per your question, I actually like the combination of the type of video you just used; you get a preview at first, and then see the normal filming with the artist's comments and stuff ^^

[ArtGeekXD]

It's much better when you just flip trough the sketchbooks:D

[sixthhokage333]

off the cuff

[Mechogama]

Oh and thank you for sharing these artbooks with us awesome inspiration!

[Mechogama]

I like the stills

[marioaleal]

WOW! Saori! Your work is amazing. I wish you the best of luck!

[jaydva15]

stills definately with voice over

[LottieSue]

Stills please. I get motion sick when cameras move around a lot. Thanks

[mikeymentality]

like the shaky videos with running commentary, very dogma movement. It creates a reality that puts you there in the room. i like the immediacy and the intimacy it creates, which suits sharing a sketchbook which in my view is an act of intimacy. Looking forwards to seeing another set of books. and can i just say Saori, thats some impressive stuff you have there

[Animeluver144]

lmao omg she drew beckerman!!! XD 

[100percentunique]

OH MY GOD IT'S A NEW SKETCHBOOK VID!!!! Super excited. These are my favorite types of videos.

[heminder]

prefer an actual video.

stills just turn it into a slideshow presentation.

[Anim8ergrl]

i love stills because i feel there isn't enough time spent on the images if you do a video.

[KazzyEss2k9]

shes amazing you should do commentary over the pics

[heartking52]

Love the stills but we see more with the shakiness so, shaky. Saori is super talented. Thanks for sharing!

[cscha101]

I like the normal, not stills.

[eekekeke]

Thanks for sharing! Great sketches and style, and really inspiring.

Didn't think the shaking was all that bad. Like the videos a lot more than just the stills; we see more, get more information and sometimes the artist can add some background info and comments as well. But both is even better of course. Oh, and just get a new iPhone 4S; better stabilization and nice HD videos ;)

[deeknits]

Give me the shaky iphone vids...I like to see the students and hear their answers to your questions. Actually, if you hadn't said anything, I really wouldn't have paid the shaking any attention, as it really wasn't that visible...loved her sketches, btw!!! :-)

[Piguiy]

She's amazing, found my inspiration. :D

Send her some love from me.

Thank you.

[lucaddragon]

love her work... :)

Doesn't she have a blog Matthew? Or a webpage please?

Thanks

[BlitzkriegBetty]

Very lovely! I really didn't notice the shakiness, so I'd say keep on keepin' on. I was completely focused on her artwork! Tell her this youtube chick (and fellow artist) thinks her style is rad! Thank you both for sharing.

[NyDrPa]

This is great! Keep it up!

[Sycra]

I much prefer the stills.

[dodododomino]

I like it like this, at first a little introduction with some stills and than later the video! Vertty beautiful al these sketches btw! <3

[mightyRosyRules]

wooooow i love it....and the dresses are just stunning! :)

[A801506]

i like !

[rolloph72]

I like how you did the video this time. The still shot give people more time to see everything. I think there is an app for the shaking though.

[sh3rpunjabi1]

i like the stills better

[808sandDreams]

Probably the best sketchbook review I've seen. Saori is phenomenal. She definetly puts in the time.

[LioeIe]

I like the stills, she is really talented!

[LovelyInfected]

absolutely beautiful! saori has me inspired :)

[jdkjkjdkjdks]

post more sketchbook video please.

[Olecranon89]

I personally like this format a lot more because it gives me a chance to really see the artwork and also hear you more clearly.

[Fivedaysncounting]

more vids!

[solutionsby]

shaky is better more variety and quantity to be inspired.

[ThereseAr]

Wow!!

A mix of both the live commentary, along with a few stills with voice over is the way to go.

[ThereseAr]

Wow!!

[CocoMonkeyTV]

i think I prefer stills with commentary over it!

[OxcarOrtiz]

I really like sketches!

[8829agua]

Saori: Love your contrast !!! Your interprtaion & variety of line, shape, color, dimension, movement & imagination are ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING! ! I am a fan already! Thank you for volunteering your sketchbook Saori! Matt: The shakey video didn't bother me because it really wasn't that shakey ;-D. The still shots before are a nice preview to the video and I like meeting the artist at the beginning!  Can't wait to see the BIG Pad! Thank you Matt!

[HoulMello]

why do you upload 360p...

[AnnaShawkey]

YAAAAAAYY sketchbooks! Thanks so much for inspiration and kick-ass motivation!! =)

[hoqaldej]

She's reaaaalllyy good! And Matthew is very kind to share these!

[mweinmeister]

Is your phone zoomed in? That makes it extra shaky.

[acjub]

I like the other version better :) Shaky film! :D

btw the drawings are amazing!

[matthew39arch]

Wow thanks so much for all of the comments. Looks like I will be doing a short commentary during the beginning of each video over stills. Then I will add the organic rough iphone video afterwards. That seems to be a good compromise. Wait until you see the next sketchbooks, you are going to freak. I'm all going to ask Saori if I can film her big pad too.

Yes she is an animation student.

Thanks again!

[DarkAnimeSoul]

@matthew39arch Can you ask if she has a deviantART account and if so, what her username is? I'd like to watch her if she has one.

[catha86]

this is the best combination.... both still and video. If I have to choose then still is the best. Amazing artist too wow!!!!!

[k12kyle]

I like the video format, Cuz I like listening to the artist, and even seeing her/him.

[LarlooCake]

I like the shaky ones.. Its more personal :) 

[MattSaidLOL]

Asian people ftw !

[ThArApHy3nS]

what kind of material did she use to color the drawings of the fabric n by the way love all the videos keep it up :) <3

[insidethesnake]

I like it when you get to see the artist that did the sketchbook they always give like a little insight into why they did this and your cam aint to bad you can still see clearly

[SleepDozer]

i like the shakey hand view to :D i love when u flip threw every page

[arturo1990]

I prefer the continuous video shoot..

[BitFrost]

I like the stills and commentary on top the best :)

[LivebythePencil]

I like the informal shaky video. It feels more personal and natural.

[jesseeheavens]

Saori is very talented, thank you for the inspiration.

[a77oliveira]

keep up the shakyinformaliphonevideothing :) stills aren't that cool!

great videos, cheers!

[ray2chy]

i like the shaky hand view because then we get to see the whole sketchbook : )

[Sweetiedk]

waow



[1775LostOne]

Awesome!

[pete1038699]

Thanks to Saori for volunteering her artwork, really great stuff. The format of this video with stills & commentary at start & actual recording afterwards is perfect. Using stills gets straight to the content, but with the recording it adds that informal/personal message from the artist. To be honest, the shaking didn't bother me as I was more engaged in the art than the distraction. The only question I have is, is she an animation student? Keep them coming.

[KA17H]

@pete1038699 Ditto! just sayin :P

[ameliafreak11]

I like the shaky camera more than stills as i like to hear your reactions whilst you're looking through the sketchbook :)

[ameliafreak11]

her work is AMAZING!

[halibelly]

though no, I love both :D

[justblackboy]

truthfully i like the shaky version better, we get a chance to see all of the pages and hear the comments you have to say at that moment.

[halibelly]

prefer stills ^^

[TheShilpa007]

I like the shaky iphone style more :) .... Its more interactive, more real, more fun :) Loved her sketchbook, really inspiring.... Thankyou so much for sharing :)

[AngelicShadow14]

I prefer stills.

[mohanpremchand]

the best video ever than your shaki video.

[describer99]

I love the stills and the commentary. It's much easier to view and much more enjoyable.

[SincereCreature]

Stills maybe is better, do it a few more times and we'll see how it goes, I like it thus far :)

[SincereCreature]

Amazing!

[Cindoraart]

I think this is the best sketchbook you've shown us so far :3

[xAlpha621x]

@The commentary style: I actually like the "shaky version" XD (because not only do you comentate on the person's sketchbook, but it can also give the student a chance to comentate on the sketchbook as well),

As for the sketchbook in this video, I really have to say that she is really good when it comes to variety and drawing gesture poses :) (and she's really awesome with designing dresses, too). I also love the anthro characters there :3 (I can see a huge Disney influence in the style)!

[mcatv]

Very nice drawings!!! Loved them.

[ambertje99999]

OMG SO BEAUTIFULL

[RoyaICIown]

this is so inspirational,

[Shellshockstor]

yes!
