Ryan's Sketchbook and Big Pad

[SNUFFLE1981]

If your going to feature students sketch books get your students to hold up their sketch book and flip through it while you focus in with your camera- put these kids to work!

[cyan98]

maybe you should try use a tripod or camera stand

[kymrhymer]

Kool!!!!! I m gonna try a multicolor pencil!!!!!!

[sam0m1023]

What kind of pencil did he say he used??

[MrsRobinNL]

Wow the first couple of drawings that you showed are amazing! You should really show them to Disney or something!

Do something with it^^

[TotalSketchz]

Aamzaing drawings its good to see what your pupils are like there pretty talented .

[Nigja28]

I heard you said you quite good friends with Dorian, this past semester I've been working along side him in my portraiture class. He's a delightful person, and very constructive. He usually stops by on tuesdays to just paint with us and give his insight on our pieces.

[yeahitsavo]

Please tell me he'll draw on the back side of those pages.

That is such a waste of sketchbook.

Very nice work and beautiful gestures though!

[1chatom]

really cool. can you tell us where we can buy this pencil that he uses.

[ChadSmith1452]

Lyra Pencil? A lyra charcoal pencil?

I've seen their red and sepia chalk pencils, but no black ones like that.

[phatbastard0alkaline]

Damn he is GOOD!

[AKiSatoshi]

[orbitalchiller]

[KevxKun]

I like Ryan. I love his style also. It's... sort of close to mine, like i can see a few traits in there. I'll hop on over to DTO and check them out. Thanks Matt. ^___^; Thanks Ryan ^___^;

[gaywhitekids]

[shannonroulet]

[dhbh666]

RYAN ROCKS!!!

[danuhporch]

Nice sketchbooks, man. Always digged your figure drawings and thick lines.

[OmnipotentO]

i'm scared of drawing/sketching on sketchbooks believe it or not. for some reason i feel much more comfortable drawing on regular printer paper. i feel like whatever i draw on my sketchbook has to be really good and that's too much pressure for me so i just dont.

[f520]

I know what you mean. It's the same with me and I cant overcome it

[sanferrera]

hehe, I know what you mean! To me, it helps when I tell to myself, "well, it's just darn paper! It's a different one, but it's only a paper." I hope it helps.

[rawrghblarghwaurgh]

@omnipotentO

Same deal here, but I got passed it by buying an assload of sketchbooks. If I only had one around I always felt I was gonna waste it with a bad drawing, now I have a whole bunch and don't really care if they come out bad anymore. :)

[funkymonkey892]

@OmnipotentO i feel the same way

[harpiex]

@OmnipotentO yea i know what you mean even though this is a really late reply i still wanna say that you should start drawing regularly in your sketchbook and dont worry about everything being perfect there suppose to be private anyways unless your showing them to other artist its funny im going through the same thing right now lol

[CORYSPHOTOS]

@OmnipotentO I totaly agree but i just remind myself its my sketchbook it doesn't have to be perfect.

[powerwolfDA]

@OmnipotentO I Reccomend Buying Sketchbook Sheets, Better Quality Than Printer Paper But Not On A Pad Or In A Book So You Dont Need To Show It To Anyone

[Snogrrrl]

@OmnipotentO I used to do the same, but the thing with sketchbooks, is that they illustrate progress. Progress starts somewhere!

[Zumerjud]

@OmnipotentO YESSSSSSS! omg thats soo true!

[PippaOfShadows]

@OmnipotentO I was the same way - but I realised something: I don't have to show my sketchbook to anyone if I don't want to so it doesn't matter if the drawings suck! :D if you keep thinking that you won't feel pressured about making everything in your sketchbook perfect :)

[JustForTheDead]

The sketchbook videos are actually my favourites. I find them to be so inspiring.

[RaymondHamby2424]

why does ryan look like a elderly woman in life and his self-potrait

[exitima]

I really like your student sketchbooks. Unfortunately, I've got the imagination of a goat, so I'll never to beable to be that good. Keep up the great work, though. You're an inspiration.

[etsyethbfxd]

For God's sake Matt, stop showing us your students sketchbooks! We just want to see you draw!

[elektrometro]

I like them

[matthew39arch]

Yes I understand. I'll be adding some more drawing tutorials soon.

[7evenshadesofblack]

I really like your student sketch book videos keep em coming =D

[EvelineUK]

@matthew39arch

Please keep showing us student sketchbooks! I'm only just started to teach myself how to draw and am loving the work they do!

[RealEros1]

@matthew39arch No show your students sketchbooks as well. Their a great joy to watch :) even though I can't draw....I write hahaha

[hillaryhottie]

@matthew39arch no no no no no i absolutely love these damn videos. dont ever stop making sketchbook vids do as many as you can this is where i get my inspiration from.

[7evenshadesofblack]

Actually i really like seeing his students sketchbooks its a source of inspiration to see whats in the minds of others now you just got learned =p

[angelkubin]

Ryan Your drawings are excellent!!! Thank You for sharing ...I have to watch this several more times marvelous drawings... love them all.......~angel

[Cavetroll100]

Awesome! I like Ryan's character drawings. Excellent!

[7SinfulPleasures]

man ryans gestures are just so lively and emotional, just very expressive stuff, i luv it.

[wilsocn]

I see that a lot of these sketchbooks have drawings that are heavily influenced by a more expressive almost comic book style. It isn't bad but I can still see those elements coming through even when approaching life drawings.

[SleepySlacker4]

I like these videos where you see other artist's sketchbooks a lot! He's very talented, esp. with the cartoon-y type characters.

[jassiel17]

sorry. could you put English subtitles on your next video, is that I have trouble understanding, even not much English, Many thanks for your videos =)

[ethananimation]

Nice.
