[Pwninqfull]

[cookiefrito]

[thesonicman24]

OLIVER IS AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!­!!

[HDibbles]

Lol "Stupid Cat"

[Lydomina]

"If I looked at my sketchbook when I was 18....It looks horrendous"

Really? Maybe there is hope for me then. I'm already 19, and I use to love to draw until I realized how horrible(according to me) my drawing are. I really don't want to give up on drawing, but I'm just stuck as to how to improve :\.

[McGowanFilms]

What are those sketchbooks called ??

[12ParisDaisies]

@McGowanFilms Exactly what I want to know!

[Skeleton5995]

And haunter... and raichu...

/shuts up now.

xD

[Skeleton5995]

Hehe. I spotted a Pikachu, Banette and Charmander! :DD

... /pokenerd, hides

[weirdoda]

amazing sketchbook, he puts a lot of time in his art, lots of fantasy.

[karatetigy]

this is my favorite sketchbook posted yet. I am so inspired and thoroughly envious! heh. I'll try to find you on dA!

[MrJaawRaKhaeh]

Very Inspiring!

[Zwietracht]

Oh no. The talent-lie.

[inkarious]

Really inspirational. Thank you.

[txfnero]

18.... >-<... I'm 21 and NOWHERE near that good... well..Nice job Oliver. :D

[vivasuperspaz]

One) Oliver is cute x3

Two) His work is AMAZING. That's the kind of style you can't find on Google, but I look for EVERYWHERE!

Thanks for sharing.

[KonekoKaira]

Roughly, how much would a thick sketchbook like that cost. Im 14 and i only get school-grade art books and... They suck... I really want to expand myself further! I hope ill be as talented as Oliver when im 18 :)

[himynameississy]

@KonekoKaira you can get them for like $10 at a decent art store.

[TicTocToby]

@R0cknroll4ever I have an email address you can reach me at, TicTocToby @ gmail . com. I'm very busy with school, so I can't promise super fast replies, but please feel free to drop me a note any time! Hope I don't disappoint though, I don't know a whole lot about manga/anime outside of some older stuff, ahaha. Surprisingly, it's just not one of my big interests (though I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it at all! Just never got too into it I guess.)

[angelwithblackrose]

He`s ...

Amazing.

:3

I own several sketchbooks but my drawings are awfull...

Does he use any reference when drawing in his sketchbook or how does he do it ?

Im truly impressed

[showerman100]

can some one tell me the pens Oliver uses in his book

[winelover213]

hey i just wanted to ask were would i be able to enrolled at a School of Visual Arts.wow its amazing what other artist can do! i been drawing for all of my n i had this hunger of wanting to learnd more! i feel like my cup is still empty! please if u could get back at me it would really be a big help! thanks! again amazing work! love it! oh! my name is brian!

[360cent]

Boy is gonna be working with Ghibli.

[darkprose]

Superb. This kid has a future.

[BaddSlim1]

Wow, great art!

[hfnicholls]

I need to ask, those red and blue pencils everyone seems to be using, what pencils are those? Just ordinary red and blue colouring pencils or...?

[effjaee]

@hfnicholls i'd say it depends on whoever's drawing. some may prefer colored pencils over mechanical graphite. if you search up red and blue lead online you can find it.

[collcity]

holy shit i'm a senior at high school taking AP art and my drawings are nowhere near as good as these, question for Matthew, does one become a better artist in college or do you need to already be this good when you enter college?

[myachen]

How do i get this lineflow? Mine are always so shaky and just bad.. :(

[wcbombers21]

by far the best scetchbook u have posted. Really amazing this kid is a true instrument of nature! thanks for sharing Matt.

[gaywhitekids]

@wcbombers21 definitely not the best by far.

[wcbombers21]

@gaywhitekids u don't know what your talking about!

[ReiketsuIttou]

This sketchbook is AMAZING.

Oliver, you are fantastically talented! Makes me want to draw all hours of the day XD

[PaprekiiPhone]

Where can I find Oliver's Blog???? Ö.Ö

[miker4all]

Wow. And to think I call myself an artist sometimes... amazing sketchbook in 5-7 weeks!!! I'll be damned. I clearly don't draw enough!!! This is really motivating. I really need to start drawing for at least 1 hour a day...

[Jewceeify]

Best Pikachu I've ever seen!

[mskrebstar]

oliver is so qt

[TashaSucre]

olivers cute ;)

[Cavetroll100]

Totally awesome sketchbook!! 

[AnnaShawkey]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY another sketchbook!!! LOVE those vids, keep them up!

[nakariri]

too awesome. what was I doing when I was 18? damn

[hyperfoxartist9]

does Oliver have a website or something that he puts his drawings on? like Deviantart or something?

[TicTocToby]

@hyperfoxartist9 tervuren @ dA

[infernonecro130]

What kind of ink pen is he using? I couldn't quite hear what type of pen it is.

[Priceman5]

Geez,, almost no erasing lines to be seen, that's amazing! Great work!

[LovesKeks]

great I love sketchbooks ;D

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

Do you have any students that aren't obsessed with Zelda?

[TicTocToby]

@Thisisnotmyrealname8 I'm just curious, but what do you see that's even Zelda related in this?

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

@TicTocToby uhh, all the fantasy middle-earth-esque stuff. Pointy ears. Small hands, smell like cabbage...

[phodiduddy]

@Thisisnotmyrealname8 u just described elven fantasy genre in general =.=

[TicTocToby]

@Thisisnotmyrealname8 Oh sorry, I forgot that everything vaguely fictional was created by the Zelda series. My bad. (pointy ears??)

@infernonecro130 I pretty much use whatever is lying around. I used a... Faber-Castel small-point pen for most of these, I think. That or Micron. I also use ballpoint a lot.

[Thisisnotmyrealname8]

@TicTocToby Well, what is the obsession with elfs and demons? Is this the only way animators see the world?

[mskrebstar]

@Thisisnotmyrealname8 Oh jesus christ

[unclestuntman]

Dude got skillz!! Keep it Up

[lolchell]

UHM I LOVE YOU OLIVER.

You're going places, I swear to god. Everything you do is always so beyond amazing, I admire you so much, keep knocking them dead.

[TicTocToby]

@MaracZumra (this is Oliver) Hahaha my voice was squeaking pretty badly, I've never been filmed before so I was really nervous. That might be why it sounds so high-pitched.

Also I'm not sure who'll see this, but I do indeed have a deviantART. I didn't have Matt post it at first because it's rather sparse, but he has it on the blog now. (tervuren@deviantART)

Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

(I'm bad at this YouTube thing, shh)

[MaracZumra]

@TicTocToby no problem :) I' was just kidding , you have a big talent , recpect :)

[R0cknroll4ever]

@TicTocToby Hey Oliver, Do you have a instant messanger or a Email adress I can add you on? I revently retired from the military due to a bad heart murmer and I picked up drawing again, it was a passion when I was younger and I stopped to pick up my real life. I went out to Hobby lobby the other day and spent $300 on sketching books/manga books/pencils and stuff. I think it would be fun to converse with somone else who also had a passion for manga/anime.

[Lydomina]

@TicTocToby He wasn't joking, your line work really is sick. The line weights are just perfect o.-

[lemurbemur]

yo who is this bitch who disliked this video?

i will cut them

[lemurbemur]

This fucking music.

o gurl i luv orivu he is mah fran and sumtimes he cooks 4 me

[Peteru69]

Oh my goodness. I love Oliver's style. I'm faving this.. Would be awesome if he had a profil on Deviantart or "other" places.

Drawing this much is what we can strife for. This style reminds me of my own, just a lot cleaner. I'm green with envy.

Keep uploading student sketch books. This is motivation for my starving talent.

[MaracZumra]

is that male or female... Name is Oliver but voice iis Olivera :P btw cool drawings :)

[TheAnimeKid19]

you should dress as hitler for halloween! oh btw nice SketchBook

[mskrebstar]

BB YOUR TALENT IS RIDIC

[firuinthehouse]

Good stuff, very motivating

[Mr4yOK]

I like the fact that he tries to fill as much as possible. Many drawings on one page.

[NamelessPencil]

I love it :)

So effin talented it should be illegal :D:D

[808sandDreams]

Woah. That guy is good. A lot of hours spent into it. Now that's dedication.

[playabledance]

does oliver have a deviantart account

[LarlooCake]

ask your students if they have like.. accounts on Deviantart, or web-pages or something :3

[MrsSjaal]

WOW o.o

[ImTooSecretive]

7:56 NUDITY OMGZ0RZ! Yea.. Not that big of a deal but just showing that YouTube might take EVEN this video down for that. They're such assholes... :S

[marioaleal]

This is actually one of the best ones we've seen.

[ultimaswort]

goodsketch

[vivaldirules]

Phenomenal is right. I could sit and enjoy your sketchbook for days, Oliver. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[blacknanoosh]

ur the bomb Oliver!

[ToomasKedrov]

i love your sketchbook videos, Amazing!! ^o^

[Halogen182]

Does he have a DA? Seriously, those sketches are bad ass! Love the drawing!!!

[0HeyJude0]

Oliver is the best! And it only takes him like a minute to create something really beautiful. I still have the sketches he did of me.

[Halogen182]

Oliver, you the man. Awesome sketchbook :3

[edgarshere]

Did I spy deviantart accounts?? 6:28

[aaRept]

Hey, Matt! I just wanted to thank you for posting these videos. Every single one of them is so inspirational.

Another little thing I wanted to ask is, about the blogs or deviantart pages of your student. Can you please post some of them if it's possible and if they're willing to?

[FaunoDufaux]

so many furries

[dimitrisobolevskij]

watching these things things makes me so pissed! grr

[gokudoman]

was that simba the white lion at 7:10 ?

[plaguereno]

ohh, just want to grab my sketch book and start drawing

[daregularperson]

I'm really not a fan at all of those furries, and his cartoons need more line of action and hierarchy, but what I really like of his is his illustrative drawings, they are very good.

[KitsuneTenchi127]

Great imagination!! I adore all the sketches. The variation in the styles is really pleasing.

[SASirotak]

Do you have any tips for working with shading in pen drawings? I normally work with pencil and transitioning to pen is a little hard for me

[psychodelicdragon]

wish i could do them like that, he is phenomenol for sure!!

give him a bucket load of a and apluses. at least!!

after all ,he did his homework, plus extras !!!!

[sketchbook90]

You really need to get there Deviantart (popular artist social network) accounts and put the link in the more info box under the video.

[cinnamonp0p]

Love his stuff. I can tell that Jenna Chew (jennadelle) is one of his inspirations, she's one of mine as well.

[phodiduddy]

amazing creativity and flow! does Oliver have a blog/website anything?

[Aragahragah]

wow, sexy sketchbook man!

[de8struction]

How did he practice drawing like day to day wize, also creativity wize

Please reply

[artboy598]

@de8struction I'm not matthew39arch, but I'll throw my 2 cents in, Honestly, you just have to draw every day. You're bound to improve. It can be anything from a little gesture doodle, to a full-blown piece if you feel like it. As far a creativity, I would suggest just absorbing the world around you via your environment, movies, tv, books, etc.

[de8struction]

@artboy598 umm anything im not already doing Haha

[artboy598]

@de8struction That just means you're not doing it enough XD

[de8struction]

@artboy598 Haha, probubly :) i start now.

[artboy598]

What year is he in college?

[mangaluver2010]

wooooooooooooow amaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzing!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[eadame123]

i love his style im 14 i kinda draw like him but i need to learn more movements and fabric folds

but i really liked his

[tinnato]

why do u all ur students draw with almost the exact same style its so weird, semi amine style

[beto3k]

Wow

[effjaee]

one of my faves, right up there with pauline's and corie's.

[GretschGod]

Wow! My favourite so far! 

[jsantis91]

those are great!...i'm 19 and all I can draw is cartoons :P...i can pretty much draw anything cartoon related...but I wanna draw realistic portraits so bad....just haven't been able to draw one i like yet...I have a hard time drawing the noses and mouths...

[mrsupermega]

cool!

[matthew39arch]

This video is going to take a while to process tonight, I have that funny feeling. Give it a bit.

[SASirotak]

@matthew39arch it looks great for me at about 8:25 pacific

[KhaledAlrayhi]
