 This video today is just going to be really casual and laid back kind of like the ones I did for my horror comic project, project, project and I'm just going to be doodling in this sketchbook. Before we start I just wanted to take you through this sketchbook and obviously you've seen the title, I nearly finished it but I just thought I'd just do a tour for it now because I think I'm going to you know retire this one. The main flaw that I had with this sketchbook is actually the shape. I know some people you know probably like this rectangular shape that's fine for them. I didn't pick this, Chris bought this for me so sorry about this Chris which is fine you know like it's a nice thing to buy someone a sketchbook but it's just not the shape that I like. I didn't know that at the time I just started doing stuff in it and I feel like it's very like you have to do it something long this way or something long that way I mean you could do little things but it's just an awkward shape for me. I mean if it was bigger than maybe but I don't know I just I don't like the shape and that is that okay I will hear no more of it. These are some Posca pens obviously that I bought Chris when we went to Singapore I bought him a huge batch of them and I'm using them and he doesn't mind we kind of share art supplies because we both do art so why wouldn't we share art supplies I guess. I've been using them in the later pages I'm just going to run through quickly this sketchbook up to now so it's been pretty long going for the sketchbook because they started it in October 2018 for Inktober I think I managed to complete about two sketchbooks last year but they were maybe bigger than this so this has been under six months so maybe it's not that bad but yeah just because I've started this new well it's not new anymore I started this job last year where anyway little less moaning is going to be ahead I promise. These are what I did for Inktober I go into it a little bit more in my Inktober drawing that is probably I put up the end of October so if you are interested then you can go check that out but yeah I did a lot of ink drawings about my book that I wrote Princess Cursed and they just drew like took the really cold prompts that's it good artist I took the prompts and then I just drew like images in my head from this from the story wow I can speak this morning and I like this doodle although it's like what these are all the characters as you can tell it's a very heavily females based story sorry about that my camera decided not to work that crunching sound is best to eat in her breakfast so I apologize the cat's got to eat okay I'm not sure what I showed you already so if you've seen any of this some apologies but just gonna go over it quickly again this is a watercolor thing I was doing that a watercolor thing watercolor painting an experiment thing yeah you start the lightest wash first and then you go darker and darker and then you steadily pick out the leaves and things something like that I can't remember it's been ages some doodles of some creepy women some more doodles of ladies with probably using these Faber Castell pencils that I really like drawing with right now that are great oh this was an inktober this was a final one of the scenes in the book that I know I don't know if I showed anyone and I think this was like the final inktober that I did because I kind of gave up after that because I started my job and everything was new and you know I was getting into the rhythm of stuff I've probably said this a thousand times on my channel just letting you guys know this was for a 300 page book channel challenge where I turn to the 300 page of a book and I get a prompt from that page I read the story and I decide what to draw based on what it says and this was the Arabian Nights I'm not sure what this is just a spooky girl you can see here that I have actually written what I should be doing next for the prompts and I never finished them and it is my shame and it shall follow me to my death oh we did this thing called horror fest and I was just people watching drawing or trying to anyway I think I was very stiff because you know when people are watching you and you're like even though I do YouTube but don't let people watch me on this it's a little bit different when you have a live audience we were watching Sabrina and I really wanted to draw her and I think I was using this yellow Copic marker and I yeah I like that Sabrina I think I might have copied that from the actual logo though so no kudos for me not allowed and I was trying to draw her in like a very stylistic kind of is it the 1960s style where they had like really geometric shapes and triangular I don't I don't know I don't remember and hmm oh this was planning for my video that I did with the YouTube artists collective and I was trying to plan different things and I think I went with this one which was the house which was like a 3d kind of house we opened the doors and you saw inside which was quite fun to do these are the pumpkin kids from that show over the garden wall and I just felt like drawing them I think this was for that Huy Vemba which you know even though I failed Inktober horribly I was like yeah you know what let's do Huy Vemba that work that will work and I did like two of them and I did Sabrina because that's why I was drawing Sabrina because she's yellow she's not yellow her not even her hair is yellow but you know it was a good chance to use yellow and I really like this drawing actually it was really fun and I think this was something I was proud of after probably a month of not being proud of anything which is kind of sad yeah and then I drew the the pumpkin guys from over the garden wall this was fun to draw as well I like this image too even though is just a straight-up copy of something because well it's not a copy but you know when you're copying characters it's not really your art I guess it's just copying so this one is not really very special to me this was a drawing that I was intending to do a big drawing of a larger scale and I think I just didn't finish it or continue I quite like her I like the way that I use the Posca with the pencil that might be something to explore now I think because I was having a lot of art block I was taking a lot of inspiration from shows that we were watching and we were watching maniac and this is one of the characters in that so I think I was just doodling her and trying to do the Huy Wemble thing so this was like this was kind of the red color for that and then I drew some awful houses I actually remember this day it was a Saturday and I sat down and I wanted to film a video so I drew these houses on camera and I was like what is happening I have lost all skill to draw because I haven't drawn every day for a while because for two years I was drawing every day and then I just went from that to not doing it and it really shows it really really shows I quite like this doodle I think I did this on camera as well but I never showed it and I do like it I don't have any idea what's going on in it or where it came from why is she naked why she floating through the air slash into the ocean or why there's a flame going behind her I don't know but it works I'm sorry that this is a funny angle but this wretched sketchbook is too long to fit properly yeah can you tell that I did not like the shape of the sketchbook here's another image that I did not like but I think I just you know when you have art block and just trying to get something out on paper then you just like what is this okay I was about to rip it to shreds but let's just refrain from doing that shall we because that doesn't get anyone anywhere ah another art blocky page and I think I even bent this one up to like hide it and I was trying to do some word typography type things but the typography is awful it's from that song that I very much like so whatever again a little bit of art blockiness I think I was using the tiger pens tiger markers and copics here and I like this doodle it's quite cool and I don't mind her so this page is all right but it's just not it's just not fabulous you know it's just not amazing and here you can see that I'm still struggling with art block and I was just the frustration you can tell like how much I just went through to just get this done not get this done but just get something out that I can draw I like this page though um this is Gigi if you don't know Gigi he's my black cat and he was just sleeping next to me so I decided to do some inks I have this ink brush pen I was using that and then just using a bit of water to kind of add a wash to that and I really like this one because I think it really captures Gigi which is nice because you know he's my cat and I love him so here is a fail presenting to you my fail that's what I'm saying that is what I'm deciding to say here oh yeah has arrived her majesty and what a coincidence I think this is supposed to be Pesto and I'm drawing a little crown on her because she does think she's the queen Pesto do you mind we're trying to film we're trying to film okay well that's happening guys I'm sorry I don't even know what this was for actually now I think I was just just wanted to make a cartoony image of Pesto get will you desist woman okay please please please then I drew um this poster for my local theatre group for Simba does a video of that breaking into Christmas time because it says mum at Christmas this is the back of my mother in one of her one of her rooms what is that at her house in her living room she's on the computer right now and they had this little um wooden village piece on their mantle I think and I got a bit inspired to draw like a little weird village and on hills and I quite like this image I think we were playing board games at the time and I was just doodling in my sketch so good memories from these drawings actually and that's something I like is when you have a sort of diary um not a diary but when you can look back on drawings in your sketchbook and be like oh yeah I was at this place in my life at this point and oh gosh guys we got heavily into the crystal gems around Christmas time and we watched like all of them over Christmas and I really like the character design in that I really really like that show it's so fun if you guys haven't seen it even the story is really good as well which surprised me and I think I drew myself as a crystal gem trying to use limited colours and yes it's okay again it's all right but I think I smudged I think the pen I was using cockpit markers and it doesn't really go with the pen and then it was like what the heck is this face is a bit bizarre but it was fun I think I was trying to do draw this in your um draw this in your style challenge to break out of that art block which is a constant theme through this there I like that style a lot more I think I was trying to draw the crystal gem style a bit better and I think I did a better job here you know when sometimes you just do a relaxed doodle and it turns out better than something you're trying to be rigid about this is pro crasta art style I did draw this in your style challenge I did this one first and I didn't like it and then I did this one and I liked it and again it's kind of mixed media style which I think is something that I kind of do a lot maybe do I I guess I just like to have fun with the art supplies I drew another creepy girl because I think that's something that I really liked doing this was another draw this in your style and I wanted to post this to Instagram but then I just never did I honestly don't remember who this is but you've probably seen this image a lot because I think it was quite a popular one on Instagram I'm sorry I can't remember um I don't think I posted it but yeah I used watercolor here as you can see like her face I really like that style and then I used the pencil over the top to kind of give a little pink pink tint and I like that I do like that this was for my collaboration with scribble arts and I sort of did a weird mad hatter's tea party interpretation and I really like the perspective on everything where it's just flat and weird and it doesn't make much sense and I really like the black darkness around it it's very atmospheric but also interesting and bright and colorful and I I really like this style and I really want to look into drawing more things like this in the future this was testing out when you art supplies that I got in Singapore I finally got some shminkei watercolors and I I fell in love with this deep blue this dark blue I think it's my favorite watercolor ever and um I'm trying not to overuse it in things but I did some fish and use some gold because I got these um the gansi tambi watercolors starry colors that I have been looking at people on youtube use forever and been like I want to use it so I finally got them I think here I was just testing out the watercolors doing some swatches but then seeing how they layered and things like that I don't really know what I was trying here I can't even remember what this is but like what I've used here but it looks quite cool actually so I might have to use that in something but if I can remember how I did it oh yes welcome back to the art block everybody this is where I draw another weird girl with weird looking hands and short arms there's no saving this one and there's no coming back from it here is some rough sketches of the slime girls that I did I did a video of the slime girls again if you don't know what that is it's on my channel it's just these characters I created uh I was inspired by slime to draw last year and yeah they're just they're just fun fun little story and I was just doodling in here to rough out some sketches and then I did some water colors again you can see this dark blue that I am in love with just using it whatever here you will see another weird girl trying to flush out that art block it's rough times guys I told you this sketchbook wasn't going to be smooth sailing didn't I um hmm what else have I drawn okay it's one I don't mind so much it's just a pencil drawing I think the proportions are quite cool her left eyes looking a bit you know but I like it I quite like this and I like when when people use the side of the pencil just drawing some more girls because I like drawing girls and again a weird girl with weird arms I honestly don't know what's going on with the arm situation in this book oh I quite like this one this was fun to do um I got like a mood board on Pinterest and I put them together and I came up with this from all the sort of images that I saw and I really like it because it's probably the the biggest piece that I have done in a while as in completed you know an actual scene a room I was thinking that I need to draw more environments and this probably proves why because that window is getting a little bit wonk over there and certain things about this drawing are a little bit off it's nice it's atmospheric I like the colors I used and I like the lighting and stuff I just think it's nice and I wish I was her sitting there in a rainy room with a nice drink and books and in that light perfect perfect the drawing isn't perfect my image of the drawing is perfect and I was like I need to draw interiors so I tried this and I made a wonky window and some wonky hands and that leads us to the final pages I say final pages but there is like what seems to me an infinite amount of pages left so I don't want to use the sketchbook anymore because I'm tired of it and I don't like the shape and I think I've gotten to a stage where I'm just trudging through to finish it saying that let's use it now oh wait I've got two more drawings um this is when I started using the poscas and I do like these styles these styles the styles of this one I really like this I really like how this came out I like the hands even though they are still a little bit weird everyone I'm still going through my weird hand phase I like the way that they look like they're gently holding that broomstick I think I was trying to draw Sabrina again and then it just turned into whoever and yeah I like that I'm going to use the poscas today because we're on a posca roll also guys also also I have to show you this amazing sharpener that I can't find here is this amazing sharpener it's called I think I'm just gonna spell it out to you then say it's kum automatic long point black wing basically it has two components one and it kind of shapes it I think and then two gets it really really pointy so it's really nice to use um I know that sounds really really lame but hey if you use art supplies a lot you probably probably know about stuff oh here's another drawing that I never finished why do I keep doing this and forgetting that I have other drawings yeah using the poscas here I did not like how this was going I think at the time like why her eye is ridiculous don't know um so I stopped doing that okay what I'm gonna do is just do a Pinterest interest board and I'm gonna go from there because I think I just need inspiration okay guys I'll see you in a minute okay we're back and I've got a few inspiration for drawings um not many but enough to kind of get me going I think what I want to do is a girl looking into a mirror and I found this kind of bathroom as well that I really like the stars in and the blue guess what guys she's going to be using blue um so I'm going to use that and I was thinking maybe I could have lots of potions and stuff behind her but I'm just gonna oh so anyway yeah I just want to do something I saw this quirky outfit I like I know lots of people are like oh people's noses would never be red you can't draw what you want but I like it when people have like rosy cheeks and rosy noses you know what I mean it's like screw you if we want to draw that we can draw that um yeah that's my round over with I think I want to draw something like that so this is going to be the mirror and then around her is going to be that sort of bathroom that we saw and she's going to be bigger I think it's going to be like quite a small mirror and I think what I'm going to do is like a creepy person on this side as you can see I'm drawing with a faber castell pencil it's magenta I really like drawing with this one and I think it gives it gives like if I paint over the top of it or do anything like that it gives it like a nice warm under hue I'm in the mood for a little bit of creep guys I'm going to do like a gold mirror so I can finally use properly my my starry colors apologies for that round about burst I kind of want to take inspiration from that drawing I did ages ago you can see that it's her maybe just looks long doesn't it that just looks funny just looks like a pacman ghost at the moment I said I was going to use poscas didn't I so let's try and use that shall we I say we I'm going to make it look more ghoulish than that hopefully it's going to be quite difficult with the the poscas but giant posca no I will not calm down everyone I just remember that this paper doesn't really like posca paints very much and it kind of um shreds a little bit so there's going to be some of that happening but oh well what are you going to do can't win them all I'm going to do like a sort of outline around her I think I'm going to do mixed media but try and use the poscas as much as possible because I only have these thick boys so if I try to do details it's not going to work out for me very much wait a second wait a second we've got an uneven wall here okay there we go maybe I should use black because I like the way the black looked before I'm going to use the screen because I'm a crazy person and I'm going to use I'm going to leave it like a white white border I think what I'm going to do is do like shadows over the top if I can I don't know how well poscas work with trying to layer on top of it so I think this video is going to be massively long and I apologize for that but okay okay we we're getting there guys we are getting there what I wanted to do before I was saying is try and make a tile pattern but using the posca so I don't know whether to use a light blue actually let's just test it over here shall we my original thought was to use that cream color oh and also the paper does not like me using double posca that's kind of cool that light blue because it's subtle I think we'll use the blue I know that this paper is going to hate me doing this so I have to be reasonably careful just a hint of tile you know I don't know how well you can see it on camera because it is very light what I want to do is use the gold here and then around the mirror and I think I'll do watercolor for her this brush isn't a hundred percent clean because it's me I'm also um for this story of this image I'm kind of assuming that this isn't her bathroom like she's visiting some kind of witch shop or something give this being maybe it's not her but it'll be creepy and I'm not sure how I'm going to make it look creepy but we're gonna try okay everyone I think I'll go over the the whole mirror with a sort of light wash of blue or something to indicate that it's a mirror and not like yeah the paper is not like in this stupid sketchbook you've been doubt just blame the sketchbook guys that's my new lesson for you I totally messed that up but it's fine I don't like this I think I might make this black as well I think you just it would oh I went for it without even thinking about it properly I was going to explain why I'm going to do that and then I just went for it um I think sometimes for me if I'm like thinking something's not going right just add more mixed media in there and then it kind of turns around let's keep adding stuff this doesn't work as well not a very good composition really should have done that lower because now it's intersecting into her face and it doesn't really doesn't really work I don't know about this guys yeah this is just a massive um globs over here of paint so let's hope that that turns out it kind of it has a nice effect kind of nice texture had a bit of a short break because I had to upload some stuff but now we're back I've pinned this down because it was buckling slightly so everything should be dry for me to continue working on it I'm just going to do some more stars in this uh scene okay I'm just going to leave that for now I was thinking I had this idea to just use um tracing paper over the top of this mirror so I think I'm going to highlight some more of her features and maybe like the the head dress and then just put this over the top and I think that will look good so I'm going to try it I think it looks kind of cool gives the impression of a mirror definitely like a bit more um I'm going to do something with the stuff in the in this bathroom because it can't just be plain I think I'm going to make more gold stuff again I'm not really sure what's in these jars and things but I think they must be something a little bit creepy okay that's it guys that's the final image of this sketchbook that I'm going to do because I am retiring this sketchbook now I'm not going to use it again I think as well you can probably see maybe if it'd been if I'd done it this way maybe it'd been better but it's just an awkward shape for me and that's basically the only reason why um the paper's not so great as well so I'm just gonna try and find these sketchbooks that I found in Liddles all those years ago and try and get them again yeah here's the image as you can see the paper didn't really work out that well because I shouldn't have used super glue because I didn't that didn't help but it kind of works I kind of like it and I hope you guys like that that's the end of this video please like and subscribe for more content and I'll see you next time guys bye
