 Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. Hey guys, welcome back to the average today. We are gonna look through the rest of the halfway sketchbook tour because I have finally finished this bad boy and yes, it took ages. Ah, I always say it took ages, why do I always say that? It took a few months to complete this so I'm really excited to show you guys what is in here and some of them are really cool but some of them are just like sketches or projects so what I'm gonna do is insert, like if there's like a rough sketch of something that I made that's bigger then I'm gonna go and insert that somewhere in the screen so it's gonna be a fabulous tour guys, fabulous, that's right. And I can't wait to show you guys so let's get down to it. That was dumb wasn't it? Okay everybody, if you haven't seen the previous sketchbook halfway tour which is like the first part of this sketchbook then go check that out first or I mean it doesn't really matter, you can watch this one because yeah, it doesn't really matter, does it? Here's a sneak peek of the old sketches because you guys remember that from last time. This is where we left it off last time and I left a pretty empty page there but let's move on. No Siri, I'm not talking to you, zoom in here a bit. This I was drawing an old building and then I think we were sitting having a drink and I was just drawing this and I didn't have time to finish it because I think we had to go somewhere so what I did is just I stuck down some post-it notes as you do and experimented with drawing my fishies, these fish that I like to draw in watercolors and just I really liked the way that page turned out even though it's weird. Here we went to a board game night and I had an old ticket in my bag for a play so I was doodling on here and then I didn't like what I had done and at least I just stuck this in here because you know why not? Abuse the sketchbook. I had a book from my parents I think I've spoken about this in a vlog where there was a lots of old plants and they had illustrations and photos of different plants with the real names so I thought it'd be a nice page spread to just draw some of these and put their names of what they are next to them. We went for lunch and lunch took ages though I was drawing people but I think I got a bit scared because this guy was just staring at me and I was like, you know, see, you know it's just gonna come over and be like, are you drawing me? Which is the worst, the worst, yeah. I don't like, I don't mind people looking at me like watching me draw something but if I'm drawing them and I make eye contact and then they come over and they're like, oh show me it's just, you just like, you're gonna be disappointed, mate. This were my sketches for the eye capture, the castle paintover. If you're new to my channel I have this project where I paint over books with movie covers and these are the sketches for eye capture, the castle. That is a video on my channel so go check that out. I will put an image here of the final outcome of that. I thought it would be cool to make sort of an advanced potions page and I was looking up like different things that look like potion pages, potion pages. Potion pages from, I said it again even though I just made fun of myself. What are you saying? Anyway, I thought it'd be a cool thing to draw. You may disagree with me there because I'm a bit of a nerd. I was working on this old comic idea and I thought I would like to revisit it. You might have seen me do some of that on my first live stream, first and only live stream so far where I redrew some of the lines. Still working on that. I think I just have too many projects going on and this has always been in the back of my head, like in back of my mind. Here's a full page spread of Chris's parents' house's living room. That was a really, really hard sentence. Chris's parents' house's living room. I think I said it okay. Anyway, it was quite fun to do. It took probably about half an hour maybe, a bit more but it was a good study and I hope that I got the perspective down a little bit. Oh, by the way, the reason that I do a halfway sketchbook tour is because this is 120 pages altogether even though it's a little cheap wannabe moleskin so the pages are really thin so you can see through them. Yeah, it's quite long and I wanted to have time to explain each page. Obviously, if you've seen the last sketchbook tour halfway of the first part, you'd know that. I'm either explaining this too late to you or explaining it again. My little muse, Kulo. I don't know why I wrote Cobb here. I think because he looks so funny, I was just like, here's Cobb. He's my cat, Kulo. He's a Siamese and I always draw him. I don't know why. I just like it and some random doodles around here. This was for my 100th page challenge and this book was Fan Girl and what I do is I turn to page 100 of a book and then I try and draw an illustration from that page. If you wanna see those videos, again, there's someone on my channel, just check them out. So I was just drawing like doodling out some sketches for that. Again, another paintover. This one this time was For Room which was a suggestion by one of you guys. I read that book, which I enjoyed and I painted over it and I used this opportunity to kind of delve into drawing objects and practicing drawing props and stuff. And then I also wanted to get the typography right. So that was quite fun to do as well. Just experimenting with different things that I wouldn't usually do. If I'm doing a challenge or a video on my channel, I try to make them useful in the sense of my own development. Here is another interior. It's very a little bit funky and off but I quite enjoyed doing this one. It was in my friend's house in London and I think I was watching American Horror Story. Chris was napping and my friend was using the computer which is like over here. So I was just sitting here alone doodling his house. Here is another doodle page. Yeah, a little doodle with pencils and watercolors. We went to Comic-Con and I was like, oh, how do I make stuff that's relevant to people at this Comic-Con? And I wanted to make a Wonder Woman print or stickers. So I drew her out and I really like some of these early sketches but then when I translated them onto the paper, I didn't really like them so much. So I kind of just quit that idea because I think I was just, I felt uninfused to do that even though I like the way these sketches turned out. And I saw this somewhere, warrior not warrior. I love a little play on words so I thought I would like include that and I really like that phrase because I think if somebody is struggling with anxiety or something, it would be cool, little slogan to have around. Here's the doodle page. It was my friend's birthday so I was gonna make her a card. I mean, I did make her a card and it had like RuPaul on it and I drew her out so I did like little thumbnail sketches here for that. Unfortunately, I don't have any images of the card finalized so sorry about that. I turned Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I went to a scene that I liked and I tried to turn it into a comic page and here are like some background designs, character designs for that. It's kind of something that I wanna revisit doing. I didn't really like the outcome of this piece altogether but I think it was a really fun project and very challenging and pushed me a little bit to my limits and that's always a good place to be when you're making art. Here are the thumbnails for that. What I do sometimes is I draw out other people's style and work to kind of study it. Obviously not intending to show it to anybody but just for me to learn. So usually I wouldn't show this but I need to like, if I'm flicking through the sketchbook I can probably like, what to miss a page. So this is from Wrecked Hearts and it's two stories in one from Studio Piau. Yeah, so I was droodling like the characters in that and sort of just trying to practice doing this line quality that just looks effortless. I obviously don't think that's how they do it but yeah, I think that would be great to do. Here is preliminary work for the Harry Potter illustration that I did on this channel which was a collaboration with Karl Holtz creations. You guys should go check that out if you're interested. I did some character designs of what I wanted Harry and Ron to look like. Take a little closer shot of this beautiful face. That's how I see Harry Potter. Okay, and then we went to Comic Con, Gibraltar Comic Con and it was a lot of time of sitting around and doodling. So the next few pages are kind of random, really random doodles of different stuff. Some more random doodles. This was like swimming page. I don't know why I didn't fill this page in a little bit more up. Nothing more to say about that. More doodles. I was starting to think about Mermaid because I was doing commissions on the spot commissions at the Comic Con and drawing people as mermaids, but in this kind of style with just like a copic pen as a shade. So my friend Karim wanted one with him and his brother. So I was trying to like figure that out. There's the thumbnails and obviously he has the final piece which he gave to his brother. So four little set of watercolors with me. I made this set out of a strong mints box and because I've seen people do that and I think it's really cute and it was really effective to just take with me because it's small and light and just, you know, cut it there. So I drew some people. This guy was dressed as Luke Skywalker and I drew him and then later on he came up to me and said that he was a massive fan of my comics and I was just like, oh, thank you. It was so nice. I really liked the way this guy turned out. I think he's the best nonchalant drawing. He was standing quite far away from me and I was like scribbling it quickly, trying to get his posture down and like his general attitude, you know. I think that's a good way to study people's mannerisms is to kind of jot quickly down people's studies. More doodles from the comic car and this was like my table set up from the back. It was great. My friends were, she makes t-shirt designs. Actually, if you saw my t-shirt that I was wearing in the beginning of video on the end, I'm wearing a t-shirt by her and she said she wanted to do a collaboration where she wanted me to write tough titties. I do it like a little design of typography so I was at the con just doodling out what it could look like maybe. Also didn't really speak to her again about this so she hasn't seen these. I liked it so I went for it anyway. I think this was just a massive like brain fart page and I was trying to draw stuff and then I didn't like it so I put loads of post-its down which I inhabit of doing these days and just did watercolours on top and messed around and yeah, I quite like the way this tree looks. That is it. This was for mermaid, my mermaid video where I drew like 30 something, 33 mermaids in a day. These are all the thumbnails of their poses I guess so that was quite fun. I quite like the way the page looks like like an eccentric mermaid lover over here. This is for the streak art competition and I do doodled out a image of the street like how I wanted to look. It was just a quick study before I did the actual final drawing. I didn't win by the way guys in case you wanted an update on that. There was just too many amazing landscape artists but it's fine. It was fun to take part in and I need to pick up my piece actually from the gallery so yeah, I'll do that. Hey guys, this was for ready player one, the paint over challenge of, I don't know why I keep calling it challenge because it's not really a challenge it's just painting over movie covers on books and I was doodling out. This was when I was first reading the beginning of the book and I was quite liking the way that it was coming out. Like I just didn't like the book so it didn't head that way. These drawings you might recognize they are the drawings that I have in my head or on YouTube and other social medias. This is also available on my red bubble, the print of this. I will put an image here of the final outcome of that which was it was fun to play around with. Casey did this prompt fishing and black hole. Yeah, fishing and black hole or something like that or hook and black hole. So I did like a mini comic of that. I got a bit carried away with this because I was like, oh, I'll just draw them like falling into the back hole. I don't know why and then like where they ended up on the other side. I thought that would be fun to do and it was but I got carried away. I always do this thing where I get carried away with projects and then I just spend too long on them and I need to have a time to work on my other stuff. So that is my own decision and fault to work on that. It won't go back in. Yes, it will. You have to believe. And then the thumbnails and then this little guy, little fish guy, I really liked him. Such a cute drawing of a fish. I don't mean mine. I mean like Casey's original one. Yeah, anyway, here are some all doodles. I've like drawn on the other side. So yeah, I was like planning the videos of that last week. Here are lots of faces of different styles of just I like doodling women using Copics and fine liners and things. I quite liked the way these guys turned out because they had that sort of style of simple but expressive, I think I'm going with. So I tried to draw her again and then I just didn't really like the way that turned out. So I moved on quickly. This was a thumbnail for my new papercraft video with the under the ocean. So I did a quick thumbnail but I didn't really plan any more than that and I wish I had. Here is a big random doodle of a woman's face. Oh, how beautiful. I just doodle something here and I didn't like it and then I painted over it and I was like, oh, I've just spiced this page up. So whatever. This was probably the last mermaid of mermaid for me. And you can see she's shiny. Ooh, like just doodling with different mediums. I love this paper. It's so cheap and flimsy and it just makes all the textures of the watercolors just be erratic and like pop out and I just love that. Ooh, ASMR guys. Anyway, I stuck this down because on the other side is a full spread. So I did a drawing of our study, but I was just doodling this and we were watching the office because we're rewatching the office and I love it so much. I can rewatch that show so many times. Here is a painting. I really know how to explain this one. I'm just messing around with different shapes, colors, mediums. I enjoyed doing this process, just drawing whatever and seeing how it came out. I wanna draw more abstractly weird things like this. I know there's a giant cactus in this image, but I don't care because it's abstract. You can have a giant cactus. Maybe it's just giant. Who are you to say? Yeah, so I really like this page. I'm definitely gonna do more of these plant illustrations with weird, bizarre shapes and colors. I was at my sister's house and we were watching Highlander and yeah, I was just doodling different stuff. I wanted to get in some practice of props and I was reachingly, reachingly. Reachingly. What is that? That's not a word. So I was recently catching up with Graveyard Girl and her videos. You probably know her so. Anyway, she shops at this shop which is called Uncommon Objects and it's basically like a very creepy shop with different weird, bizarre objects. So I was drawing some out because I thought that would make like a nice page and also it would give me the opportunity to study the way some things look that I wouldn't usually draw. So it's in the memory bank now of how to draw like this weird hand or a weird skull inside a case. I don't know. Also saw this little house that looked really like a little witch's house and I was very intrigued by that. So I wanted to draw that and I did. But then got a bit into drawing these houses and I looked up on different houses on Pinterest and I really liked the way these came out with the fine liner and the Copic markers. I think they just look nice. I got hooked on them so I drew some more. Here is a house by the ocean that looks a little bit evil and squinty-eyed at you unintentionally. And then I drew another one which was like this really long house and even though the perspective is a little bit off on this, I like the way it gives it kind of a bit of an attitude. You know, it's like, yeah, I'm a creepy house. What are they? Creepid? It's a creepy, crooked house. It's a creepy house. Then I was like, I think this was probably quite late at night. So I had drawn those four houses and then I was like, yes, I'm gonna do more like make up my own little village art. So I did this page and I really liked how that looked. I did that and I was like, I wanna complete this page of all of them. And I was like, what is that? I don't mind it, but it's not as cool as these guys. So, you know, I wanna do more houses, house fronts and different houses. Yeah, that'll be fun. I left this page blank for some reason. I didn't see that. It's not finished. Okay, never mind. Shh, never happened. Never happened, guys. I drew some boats here. So I was taking that style that I had found, wanted to see what, if it would translate to drawing different things. So I wanted to draw some boats because recently I don't know why I needed a whole explanation there of why I drew some boats. Anyway, here are some boats. They're all a little bit off perspective wise, but I think it kind of adds like a nice little bit of character to them. Here are some random faces. This is like a warm up exercise. It was just doodling random stuff before I got into drawing something else, which is, yes guys, it's a return of the derpy sharks. I really missed drawing these guys. So I drew them and this guy's like popping out the water like, I'm hangry. If you don't know what hangry means, it's basically the feeling of when you're hungry and you get really angry at that. So you're hangry. This guy's laughing. This guy, he's like popping out the water and he's like, I'm bored, bored. And this guy's just yawning. I really like these three. I don't know why I'm just explaining this derpy shark images. Oh yeah. Drawing more plants, again, with kind of mixed media and watercolours and pencils. And I really enjoy the way that these look and I enjoy making them. It's really fun. And that is the end of the sketchbook. Oh yeah, that is the end. So this took probably, so it took about six months to fill this up. There's nothing really in here that you haven't seen in the previous one. Never you mind, everybody. Yeah, this is all stuff that you've seen already, but that's it. That's my finished sketchbook. I might be mistaken. I wish I put the date in the front for six months to create. I've never completed a sketchbook this big, I think, before. I don't know if that's a complete lie, but obviously I've done lots of drawings and worked on art, but I've never had a sketchbook or something I can hold with just those of different drawings and things. So it's something to be proud of and it's something to look back on. It's time for da-da-da-da. New sketchbook. You can see the difference. These are the same sketchbook, by the way. It's time for replacement by old sketchbook. Sticker time. If I can work a sticker. What kind of person can't stick stickers? Me, that's who. Okay, I'm ready to get hyped. Get started on this next one. So I started this the 1st of June, 2018. Well, that's it. Thanks for watching, guys. Let me know what you think down below. Yup, mm-hmm. Recently watched Highlander and I thought, like, ugh, what is that film? It was really bad. I can't believe that it's, like, super famous. The only good thing about that is the Queen's soundtrack, really. Yeah, those are my thoughts all the day. So, thanks for watching, guys. So, thanks for watching, guys. Please like and subscribe for more content, and I will see you next time. Hopefully. Please come back. Stay. Don't leave. She was too late to meow over my video, so now she's sulking. You need to calm down.
