 Oh, hello. I'm sorry. I had this whole thing of like, hi, welcome to my channel. You come here from Casey's channel, welcome. And I don't honestly don't know what to say. Like, it's really cool that loads of you come over from Casey's channel. It's really cool of Casey to have drawn me and linked to my stuff, give me a shout out. And honestly, a bit overwhelmed. Every day I've been like, oh my God, oh my God. Just like that. Mm-hmm, brilliant. Just a little bit of informal introduction over here. That's what we do. We're informal. I'm Steph. I'm the average artist and I make the colours. I write, I'm an illustrator, a graphic designer. I do a lot of things. YouTuber now, I guess. I mean, I've been a YouTuber for like four months, but I guess now I'm a YouTuber. So you're here because you like art. And what I thought I would do today is make a halfway sketchbook tour. What I thought I'd do is a halfway sketchbook tour. And so you can kind of get an impression of who I am. And if you like my style, then you can stick around. I'm rambling. I'm a rambler. Welcome to the channel. Yay. So let's get to it. Why halfway? Because I've got a lot of new subscribers and I thought it would be a good interway. A good interway. Welcome to Steph's channel. A good way to introduce my art a little bit. And also this sketchbook is 120 pages long. I counted because I'm sad. And I am literally like 60 pages in. And that means I wouldn't really have much time to talk about each page. And some of these pages I really like. Some of them are crap doodles. Why am I speaking like that? I'm sorry. Some pages are rubbish and some pages are good. So I wanted to have time to speak about each page. Yes. We got it. We got it. We're good. Okay. Thanks. That's cold. One heated up coffee later. Let's get down to this. This was my first page. And actually I started on the first page and some people are like, no, I start halfway through. But I'm always like, let's get this out the way. And I did some hands and some people. And yeah, I like this page. I think it's a good first page. Usually it's like you do one drawing and they're like, ugh. And you never return. I got this sketchbook from Liddles. And it was quite cheap. If you don't know what Liddles is, it's basically like a cheap supermarket kind of thing. And they have, like sometimes they have like household items and they had these sketchbooks. And I was like, these are like fake moleskins. I love them. I want to use them and make a review. And they're pretty good. I like the paper, but they're very thin. So you can only use one side because it bleeds through massively. So yeah, I know that's a bit cheatery of halfway tour. Even a halfway tour is kind of cheatery, but whatever. We're rolling with it. That's how we are on this channel. Anyway, some more girl drawings. I draw women a lot. And I was just using like different Copics and pens and trying to get the inspiration off to starting a new sketchbook is quite difficult. You want it to be good. So there's a lot of pressure, but then you also just need to find the enjoyment of it as well. This one's a bad page. I hated this drawing. I don't even know what that is. And then I was reading the new Sakura cardcaptor manga. And I wanted to draw her. That's the standard guys, semi-can, semi-can't. And then I was practicing drawing hands because I feel like every couple of months I have to practice drawing hands, or I kind of lose the knack. Hands are a blessing and a curse because I like drawing them. And then I also don't. I think we all know that feel. Here was some studies of an aquarium that I went to. So a few fish drawings. And then there was just faces. I was like, oh, I should draw, you know, some faces, classic pencil kind of realism. But he looks a bit wonky. And I like her, but yeah. Yeah, that's okay. Here we went to this castle. It's basically like a village within castle walls. And I was just drawing like that area, another picture. I don't even know what that noise was outside. Okay, more girl faces. Nothing to write home about here. Oh, this was the castle that I mentioned before. If you want to see me draw this, there's going to be a lot of this, by the way, of me saying if you want to see this, there's a video of it. And this is kind of the view from here because it's on a mountain. These were some in-jokes from that video. Sorry. Oh, wait, I skipped a good page. You guys are going to be liking this one. So I live in Gibraltar, which is a British territory and next to us is Spain. And they have lots of villages, which is like this. But this was kind of partially made up, partially copied from a photo, not copied but referenced. And I quite like doing that. That was fun. And it's a good solid page, I think there. This was the start of hourly comic day. If you don't know what hourly comic day is, basically, you draw a panel of a comic every hour about what you did that hour. So these are on my Instagram if you want to look at them closer, but I'll just flick through them. It was also about the time that I was becoming a pescetarian where I don't eat meat, but I eat fish because fish is too hard not to eat. Like all my favorite food isn't fish. But yeah, I have the meat guilt, so I can't eat meat. More hourly's, like I said, I'll just skip through these. Watching Dragon Ball Super, which is aces, if you haven't seen that, check it out. It's pretty good. Taking me right back to the childhood feels, you know, descendant to madness, classic standard. Yeah, so more panels. Oh, this was a drawing. Good explanation. Thanks for coming guys. Please like and subscribe. No, this was a witch doodle that I was doing. I like drawing girls. I think that's pretty obvious and these colors. I think I went too far with the colors here though. They're too dark, but I don't mind them. They may be a bit bright and the hair I like, I don't know. It's okay. I like this drawing. We were watching a dubbed version of Dragon Ball Super and at one point they referred to the Dragon Balls as the wishing jewels and it was like, do you even know what show you're translating here? And I thought that was really funny. And this is that gang that I can't remember the name or comment down below the name of these guys if you know it. I cannot remember. It's his name. Pilaf gang. Haha. I surprised my brain. Yes. And then I was just, I remember drawing these. I was in a restaurant and it was really loud and I hate loud places. Does anybody else have that feel like, ugh, can't be arsed? I was like drawing. Everything I was drawing was like, ah, this was my witch sonar. That is in a video somewhere, but people were drawing their witch sonars and I wanted to so I did and there's some sushi because I love sushi. And yes, Hufflepuff scarf because I'm Hufflepuff. In case you couldn't tell that. In case Gigi's deciding to go to the toilet now. So we'll be right back. Okay. And we're back. Gigi is my cat, by the way. I wasn't just announcing somebody in my household going to the toilet. Anyway, back to sketchbook tour. Oh, I wanted to do another hourly comic just because I quite like the other one, how it turned out. Here we go. Here we go. What am I saying? This was for a Casey prompt. I call it a Casey prompt. We all know Casey does her prompt challenge. And this one was Serenity and Skateboard. So I started doodling like stuff and then nothing came to me. So then I just started doing random stuff like nerdy Dracula for instance down here. What's that about, brain? You're trying to think of Serenity and Skateboard but you come up with nerdy Dracula. And then I drew this Serenity the spaceship and I was like, that's so clever. I'm such a nerd. And then I was like, how am I going to relate that to Skateboard? You're dumb. But then I liked drawing it. So I drew it anyway. Gigi's now eating. This is a turd page as you can see. So we're skimming on through. It was my dad's birthday like a couple of months ago. He's a couple or a month. I can't remember. And I was waiting for him so I was just doodling the outside. Nothing special. I'm going to wait for Gigi to stop eating. Okay that seriously felt like an age of him eating. He's a really big cat by the way. Oh yeah so waiting for dad just sketching outside. Might have got drunk at the party and tried to draw people and failed horribly. They just lived yanky. We went for lunch and I drew that and I didn't like it. These were like some sketches that I was working on for a comic that I was going to do called Adventure Kingdom because I thought that was a good idea and then I was like Adventure Time is a very similar name. You'd kind of really work on it so it's a bit of a fail. I am actually very confused. Gigi's gone back to his literature. I think he's trying to sabotage this video. I drew a house in the kind of the style that I was looking at. I might insert some panels of this comic that I've done. Then I was messing around with shapes using colored pencil and a Copic and I quite like this page. I like some of the characters. These are my pages of sharks. I got into this phase now of drawing sharks. Derpy sharks and really liking it and this one is me. What's my life? I wanted to do maybe like a current faves video because I would like quite like to see somebody else do that. Can we make that a thing art tubers? Can we do my current faves with like drawing them? Yeah that'd be cool. Mine was, this is mine, chia seeds because I became veggie so I was like I should eat something to boost my protein and stuff. I don't know there's protein in everything though so I'm pretty dumb. I got this rock salt lamp for mega cheap and I really like it and a humidifier which has stopped Chris from sneezing. He has massive allergies and it really helped so if you have allergies seriously give that a shot. The humidifiers, hey I probably said that wrong but that's hello in swedish. Don't at me if I'm wrong. Yeah I was just doodling. Doodle page, doodle page so doodle page that didn't work out. This one was super sock page. You can even see that I've inscribed here I don't want to draw and I don't know why I pushed myself too because oh I like this one but yeah I was just playing around with coloured pencils and different paints and stuff. Oh this is tower and sand timer, this was a Casey prompt as well. I have a video of this one up so if you want to check that out check that out. I have explanations to it in that video if you're interested. This is my character from that comic that was previously you know stuck down there and I was thinking like I need to do turn around and stuff because before I started working on it I just went for it because I was lazy and also inspired and I just wanted to go for it but yeah. Why indeed? An owl, he's very cute, I don't mind him and then I did this doodle which inspired this one which I quite liked which is okay, she's right. I think this is probably waiting for something, I can't remember we were like looking at cars, you're not sure. These are my fishies, I did a watercolour underneath and then I did all of the fish in pencil, colour pencil then I went over it in inks and then I did a few different colours to sort of separate them and give a depth and stuff. Yeah I quite like that one. This was inspired by something but I cannot remember so I'm sorry if you know what it is then let me know down below but it's sort of my own version anyway but it was inspired by like a girl standing in a garden and I like this one because you see like it's not blended out but I quite like that for certain pieces obviously not all the time but I think it works here. Random doodle, more watercolours just messing around and poskers. These were some experiment things because I was starting to realise that I really like the way watercolours looked on this paper so I did a couple of like sort of colour tests, background tests kind of thing and then I just did an experiment piece so this is similar to that one that I did previously with the pencils and the watercolours the blobby shapes and I wanted to see how it layered like if I could layer it. Quite like this one as well it's alright, it was fun to do. We come to the masterful page, you guys might have seen Casey's stream where she messes up characters and this one was Donkey Kong character and I kept suggesting alien Kong but she didn't want to do it and I was like I'll do it myself and I realised why she didn't want to do it because have you seen like what is this and then that people were asking for Ferrari Kong. I draw it, I draw it, I draw it. Oh this was watching Dina's stream and she was like draw along with me. I was like okay I can do it Dina and I was like I can't draw like you put off for life. No this guy was inspired by her drawing so I was just seeing if I could do a little guy but then I was like too into the chat and stuff so I didn't really finish it and then I didn't really do anything with this page so I was about that. Oh it's so beautiful. This was the start of my comic five hour comic challenge you might have seen that video, there's a video up there and I had to create like a comic of five hours so the characters background's all that malarkey and yeah that was like the idea page that I scribbled down quick. In case you couldn't tell I basically live in a catory. I have three cats and they are constantly like waiting, biding their time for me to start filming and then they're like it's party time. Yeah so I did some watercolours and these are the characters that came up. If you want more in-depth descriptions of this stuff this is still the comic challenge then go check out that video it'll probably link after this video. So like character studies, yeah more character studies, background thumbnails and then I did the final thing and I decided that I really liked the way it looked on this paper. Again with the watercolours on this like smooth texture that isn't very absorbent I liked that style so then I wanted to draw him again and I really like the sheep the sheep character I kind of made up on the spot and I was like it's hilarious and yeah and then I never drew them again. More circular blobby things because I don't know why, I don't know why. Oh this was for Casey's prompt again I was like maybe I'll draw like a realistic clear patcher in a donkey in the back. A donkey? A camel! A camel in the background and yeah again I sometimes have these great ideas at you know 11 o'clock at night and then I'm like yeah yeah I can do it and then I realise I'm super busy and I don't get around to it. More derpy sharks but I was thinking like maybe I'll do like you know the derpy sharks on stuff but then I'm like do people like sharks or maybe it's scary. This is my character from my books I've recently written a book I harp on about it a lot if you want to check it out it's in the link down below but yeah she's like a warrior woman I'll draw her here and this was backstage I'm helped out with a play I'm actually still doing the drama festival so I'm watching plays every night for a week and it's really fun. More doodles whilst waiting for the play. This was a video I made last week and it's about my characters from my book so we're coming to the end and it turned out to come out like this you might have seen that video if not again you can check it out I'll link it afterwards so this was just studies of trying to create that piece and then I wonder if you've seen Casey's newest video if you wonder what this is um yesterday I was waiting for the place to start so I was just doodling with the new postcards that we had this little kitty on a windowsill and that's it that's the halfway point so I will make another video of this probably in a couple of months don't know depends oh my god why can't I shot it and yeah so that's that the uh has a little pocket in the back which is quite good and then there's bits of paper as well I think these were like yeah these are those um drawings that I did of the shapes when I got into them and then on the back I didn't realize is an old comic um rough ideas I was playing Zelda at the time and I would always mess up the button to um like hit with and I would throw my weapon and I remember once just throwing my weapon down a mountainside and being like well screw you and then I got absolutely destroyed and that's the story of my life so thanks for watching this sketchbook tour tell me what you think you like my stuff tell me what you think you don't like my stuff please don't tell me what you think thanks for watching so see you next time
