💥MEGA💥 Sketchbook Tour!!! (2018-2020)

hi everyone so for today's video we are going to be doing a sketchbook tour we're going to be doing multiple sketchbooks actually since i haven't done one in a really long time okay so if you hear anything in the background it's morning lopey is making oatmeal so you might hear him chopping apples and stuff that's just the ambiance of my house so without further ado i guess let's get started so we'll start with this one this is the japan trip i went on with stacy and emma oh my gosh you can see the fading on the cover this is a monstery sketchbook so in this one i just taped in a lot of like memories from things like we stayed at this place we walked along here um put in a bunch of photos i put the itinerary for our trip and like words to remember because like mossery has a bunch of things that you can write down and put in for inspiration and stuff but yeah i just put the other things um i drew a quick sketch of gujo hachiman has some pens and pencils stuff that i have stuff that i packed um in japan they have these train station kind of stamps everywhere i can't remember they're called like eco stamps or something echo stamps i can't remember but uh they're amazing um they're really fun to go around it's kind of like a treasure hunt and they look awesome in sketchbooks so if you ever go to japan and you bring along sketchbook hunt for these guys they're like at shrines usually and train stations so yeah keep your eye out it's really fun finding them uh so this is the jubilee museum we didn't actually go to that one this time unfortunately but i did go last time i went this was a girl that i saw in the um airport this is the glico or glico or glico man in osaka unfortunately he was like barely lit but it was still interesting it didn't smell very good um this is a stamp but it didn't turn out very well this might be my favorite page but also magama is on this page so i don't know kind of like this page too drew some of the ramen that we got um saw some cute girls in yukata and that was a kyoto oh my god and i got to see performance from maiko they're like practicing to be geisha it was incredible that's the only time that like the public can actually see them perform and dance and it i cried it was it was like a on my bucket list because um yeah ever since reading memories like of a geisha when i was younger i i've been like obsessed with them and the whole practice i just find it so like strange but like mystical i guess this is a little house i drew yeah it's called miyako odori if you ever want to see it um once the pandemic's over okay so this is like an this is like an inside joke but maybe if you live in japan you know what it is but it's this crazy commercial this crazy guy who's always yelling and so creation it's it's good and another inside joke bird core we went to see the house from totoro and on the way there we got this amazing stamp from the train station so look out for that if you go there and um we saw a bunch of corgis when we were walking through the park it was funny because there was like a metal concert and then just all this peaceful park and then the totoro house it was it was good it was great another inside joke from a commercial this was a view from outside of the ryokan we stayed in it was beautiful i wish we could have stayed there longer some of the koi from gujo hajimen stacey had a great idea to um take like an etching of one of the manhole covers because in japan all of their manhole covers are actually decorated really beautifully and gujo hachimans had fish and this one's inspired by the fortunes outside of the the shrines we went to the cookie place outside of harajuku um so there's part of the rapper there we met another really amazing lady there too and we went um and staying karaoke with her she was such a sweetie and here's major from uh ghost in michelle went to the disney or not disney universal in osaka that was crazy i've never been more exhausted in my life yeah that's it i'm hoping i can fill this next time i go and then under this i'll just add like and japan trip 2000 whatever whatever i go through this one really quick because i haven't put a lot in this one i intend on finishing it but uh i did these a couple years ago so i figured i might as well put them in here these are all gouache [Music] just kind of like studies did them kind of quick or at least try to i want to do more of these they're really fun that's me and my papa when i was a when i was a baby and that's it i have a bunch of like more in here planned but i want to get some thinner things that aren't like thick like polaroids because they kind of beefed up this uh book and i still have so many pages left so yeah i don't know if i could put more polaroids in there this one i think is from 2019 2018 i'm not sure maybe i have it on the inside um i would mention all the stickers but honestly it's it's too much i know a couple of them are from uh b-side label um yeah there there's there's a lot on here i can't remember [Music] me lopey and my friend cameron yeah so i started this one in 2018. this is when i went to seattle with my friend sarah we went and saw kim jong-il um at a workshop it was kind of it was kind of awesome it was really fun got to see an actual zoltar machine it was good um this is when i was just doing like really quick sketchy things sitting in a museum also i did some more sketchy things during pride parade went to a friend's wedding and yeah just lots of studies stuck a lot of stuff on this page [Music] so this is one of the outer islands um around vancouver island it's called gabriela island i went with my friends sarah jenna laura uh they're all amazing artists i will link to their um instagrams down below because you guys should check them out uh nice quote fear is your only enemy if you allow it to be by saba to hear i don't know if i pronounce your name right but really good author if you like uh kind of like sci-fi fantasy um i drew a picture of somebody drinking therapy and a sketch of minnie here more quotes these are sketches that my uh that my niece did we went out camping um and my my partner's aunt brought her parrot along with her she was really sweet i love her so much i can't remember what her name is something like sassy or missy or i don't know something along those lines really cute bird she was like looking all around her in her cage because she could see all of the trees around her kind of sad um that's part of why i don't think i want to have animals again because scared of trapping them i don't want them to feel trapped um if i go there's just entirely how far i go that's when um i was watching a lot of moana hand sketches study this is my friend stacy and me she's into swans and i like turtles turtle was the first word i ever said because turtles are bomb random stuff stuck in um this is when i started oni berry i'm hoping to spend more time on it i just it's still like the thought of taking on so much stuff it like triggers me a little bit still so i'm trying to like ease into things i'm honestly just glad i'm back on youtube i'm stoked with that i'm gonna stick with that for a bit i had a lot of fun with these ones these were all kind of fun to do then uh i just stuck a bunch and you can't say i just stuck a bunch of stuff in there random words more stuff i'm surprised these leaves are still so green my gosh this is paint like i did uh pour like an acrylic pour this is actually like a cut out piece of acrylic pour here's just a bunch of concepts went to a corn field went to the museum another museum sketch i miss going i miss going to the museum so much uh that's grand arc mage snuffles there's more sketchy stuff sketch of lopey handsome man handsome man oh i was still taking antidepressants that weren't good oh god it's bad everywhere lopey edit that nope this kimbra song is amazing top of the world so good this was the butterfly gardens in victoria more sketchy sketchy sketches something sticking ah of course more um acrylic pour comic about anxiety this was probably one of the worst parts of like my depression i love this guy um this i i love this i want to do more like this um so i was just experimenting with ink i don't understand i don't know what that is more drippy stuff um this was from lopee sweet guy ah this is the beginnings of reginald i was trying to figure out what name i wanted what name i wanted to give him uh this was the museum again they have like i don't know if they're stuffed animals or sculptures um but they have like animals all in like a forest and you can sit and draw them and lily pads were from beacon hill park ezra what a beautiful face ezra was done in gouache by the way gouache actually worked surprisingly well on this paper this is um moleskine sketchbook or moleskine i don't know uh this is a self-portrait this is what i see myself as when i'm having like a not good day like in my brain um i want to make tape out of this like washi tape i think that would be awesome uh this sketch was in the museum as well uh this is when my friend hovie visited i haven't seen her i don't know if i've seen her since then but uh she moved hopefully she's doing good i should check on her more museum stuff there's a sunfish sketches some more sketches that's one of my friends that's one of my friends feet that's another one of my friends her name's sam she's also a great artist i'll link her below so this is when i went to visit my friend stacy her cat toulouse he's like a selkirk rex i think uh some kind of wreck so he's like really curly spindly hair really fun to draw this is from a movie that guy a really good movie i wish i could remember what it's called i think it's like girl asleep or something like that it's awesome i think it's like a maybe new zealand or australian movie oni berry plans lots of plans but no uh mental energy to deal all the doodles me and my friend stacy that's us oh we went to the zoo in um nashville that was fun that was good times more toulouse ah he's such a cute kid such a cute kitty i made shrinky dinks with my with my friends and uh popped them in there this one's my friend jen's i did a baby version awesome um packaging from chocolate oh so beautiful line art like ink line art like how they did it back in the day oh so beautiful so nice perfect amazing love it this guy here this guy i want to make i want to make a sticker of him or something because he is just he's amazing these are all designs um that i was thinking for only berry i was looking at uh doing like notepads like check mark box pad to-do list dealios i can't words you guys know this went to a garden saw that thing drew it it sucks so i treat these as kind of like my journals you guys know this uh so i put a lot of like my personal stuff in here this is this is another like way of remembering a period in my life um this stuff this stuff wasn't good for me personally because i don't remember it being very good this is a way of me remembering like what things didn't work okay so i'm actually i'm actually gonna blur out this here because uh it's very um provocative but this is my friend laura's uh painting it's hilarious um i drew this guy when i was watching lots of judge judy he's terrifying absolutely terrifying face he lost the trial i drew a lot of this monkey guy i i really like him he's fun to draw i'm also going to blur this out with my camera thing um nothing bad honestly just hair most of the stuff i draw that's like related to that is just all about like my like chronic pain so it's all very like related to that kind of stuff oh i saw a guy i saw a guy coming out of 7-eleven he was wearing he he was adorable he had his ice cream he he was like kind of a chunkier guy but he had on these cute like little shorts he didn't give an f they were like red shorts and he had these socks with like the red stripes and this little like raglan t and he was living his best life it was [Music] it was amazing he his outfit was awesome like he looked like he should have been in like a roller derby team amazing he should he should be on a team uh this is etika and when he passed away i wanted to do a drawing of him door slash window thing um the street across from where i was chilling that day it was at a restaurant god i miss restaurants random tree nimbus sleeping [Music] these are some pictures that i still want to make into like paintings some sketches i mean i really like the idea of like a girl like looking into a like a jaw of like some beast or like animal and it's like cutting her and like making her bleed kind of like how i see depression but like i want her to look kind of peaceful you know yeah i want to do that that'll be good okay so i'm also censoring this guy because i actually drew his little bits um i had a lot of fun drawing him not gonna lie i want to draw more like weird random stuff um i i have fun doing that kind of thing yeah he's just naked sitting on his little stool but he's got this like epic cape he's doing some mapping and he's got little socks on but his like little talons have ripped through um i i just i i had so much fun with that that was like my brain going going off it was it was good good times this is like pcos related stuff with pcos you you are always craving sugar like it's non-stop sugar cravings and uh it's bad for you so it it actually like makes things worse like inflammation and everything so i have this girl you know eating cake and there's all these like little demons that are like running around or like yeah give us more cake yep good times [Music] um just more random sketches doodles another like concept of like somebody living in a jaw of something else i it's frustrating because i do these sketches and i just like when i go to do the actual thing it just doesn't feel as good as the sketch because i feel like the first time you do something is just it just feels so much better i don't know more doodles oh i was going to fill this whole page with birds i still really want to but now no it's the bird is the word thing from family guy um tattoo plans tattoo plans i had a lot of fun painting this girl here that's done in gouache sketches and i went to like a little fair thing with my mom because my mom was like a security guard and uh there was a whole crapload of drunk people just kind of dancing to country music so i drew sketches of all of them it was so funny because like there's a guy on the stage who's like playing the guitar but there's this guy who like goes and sits right in front of him with his like hat and he's just sitting there like yep now i'm no i'm the the star of the show they were so drunk and like they were dancing all crazy it was good it was a good time ah this is my mom's drawing think i went out to go and draw some boats but then i just wasn't feeling like it i ended up drawing this instead that was that was fun uh this was kind of out by where i live went up there with lopey and just chilled through some things that's it for for that book okay so this is the next one this is another um handbook and co all of the all of the stuff that i use will be in the description below so fear not this is a gift from lopee lopey doesn't give physical gifts really but he'll give like um poems and stuff like that it's really sweet my family loves getting his gifts because they're always really heartfelt poems um yeah just a bunch of sketches my friend sent me a picture of an opossum or possum i don't know i don't know how you say it i've never seen one in real life there's a girl at the restaurant my friend friend's cat i painted this that was fun i finally watched gravity falls loved it so much this is a card from stacy oh this is another drawing of a friend all friends this is an old drew barrymore uh picture didn't really get her likeness but i had fun doing it anyways i painted these little guys that was fun um this i did not paint but i thought it was cute so i put it in here and it kind of like is the color story um painted this little guy that was fun yeah lots of i had lots of fun with these first pages here lots and lots of fun i was trying to design um the bridesmaid dresses for my mom's wedding this was all done in a copic marker but this is my studio layout it is not like that anymore because i have issues i i still can't figure out a layout that i like uh yeah more doodles i bought some a pack of like pantone cards i was painting on those kind of hard to do so actually i might try using pastas on them that might be better might be worse so this is more gouache found my first four leaf clover there's like a massive like clump of it we drove out me and my friends and found it it was it was amazing um these are possible markers uh they don't work very well on this paper i wouldn't recommend it this is a digital painting i did for spider-verse comic i had a lot of fun in this book this was good times this was supposed to be a sketch of my brother but it didn't turn out very well it did not do him justice i think this is a recreation of one of uh my friend stacy's drawings this is clearly when animal crossing came out i wasn't feeling very good here i remember this one i had a lot of fun with put sparklies all over it i listened to a uh a really nice kind of like meditation video that stacy sent me it kind of like walks you through your childhood and gets you to see things in like a different light and basically go back in time as an adult and like console yourself kind of like rewriting your memories type of thing so i kind of did that it was really good i was like balling my eyes out near the end but it actually really helped me i'll see if i can find it and put that in the description below it's really good for like attachment type issues so like for me when i was a kid i i had like really bad chronic pain but i suffered it alone and like none of the doctors helped me um my mom couldn't help me so i i went back in time in my brain and kind of like pictured me being there just like i guess rubbing my own back like while i was just like sitting crying in pain type of thing as like an 11 year old girl just like being so confused and it was it was nice it was nice to go back and like remember things like you're not alone type of thing that was good that was really good i liked that so yeah i drew her like sheltering her younger self type of thing being like sad kind of like a therapy drawing i guess um drew a couple of my friends another like quick lopi sketch um this girl had a blast drawing and then i did stuff on the other side and wrecked it but that's a sketch of my friend laura so it's worth it and some wow i am so tired some fox gloves met a guy who does like political drawings so he did like political art there me complaining about social media this i'm hoping i can make a video out of because i want to finish it i also would like to finish this but i don't know if it'll happen i saw um wind turbines for the first time that was pretty great sketching my sister a sketch of jack black because he's a baller this is from my mom's wedding she bought us some chocolates ah this is my interpretation of depression as well now you guys will see that a lot of my sketchbooks like they're very very personal they're all like very um i put a lot of like mental feelings in they're they're really like my journals like this is just a visual journal oh this is somebody not wearing their mask right so this happened during the pandemic obviously this is a nice house near hatley castle i think i was intending on painting more on top of this i don't know what i i did that was sharpie and it was a mess it did not work out well this is me trying to create dnd character um this is me thinking of concepts more concepts uh concepts and sketches so yeah this is pretty much the the end of it um this is like out your campsite somewhere near nanaimo maybe kind of hard to see what it is i'd like to paint it so that it's easier this one is not finished but i'm gonna include it anyways um this is from 2019 so i think i kind of just like decided not to finish it um here's some feed studies um drawing random guys from my brain um cool chick in my brain i really want to create a purse one of these days but like an art purse bag thing you know one that you can fit different sizes of sketchbooks in and like a little area for [Music] paint brushes and all that stuff these are concepts concepts [Music] more concepts and sketches this was fun this was inspired by peter draws if you guys don't watch peter draws on youtube you totally should he's hilarious um kind of have a mini crush on him he's great uh really awesome artist [Music] there's nimbus sleeping [Music] this weird guy is uh um we we hiked up to a tree and it was so weird looking um it kind of looked like that i don't know how like i wish i had a picture to show you guys but yeah it looked like that sailor moon villains obviously have the best design ever we went and drew turtles that day my friend laura i found these shoes at a thrift shop and everyone was like don't buy them and so i bought them they're rainbow i love them they're so great kind of amazing um don't regret it list more sketches this was a card from a group therapy session um this was fun i used screen tone paper i want more i want so much more of it it's so much fun to use in sketchbooks yeah it's a good time uh this was a stove that i drew in the museum really miss it um this was from a birthday a friend's birthday mm-mmm i was watching simpsons was watching it typical that's why there's penguins on that side got a little card from a friend this was a really awesome statue um at the museum as well it's just like a massive statue but some guy pulled it up out of the ground in guatemala it was just like acres of land and he just kind of like found it sticking out of the ground a bit or something like that like i imagine imagine going in your yard and finding like a massive relic that actually kind of happened here um recently like just by the beach in our city they pulled up like a massive uh relic from [Music] way way way back when it was like a face like a carved stone face so freaking cool okay so i'm just editing this right now and i wanted to show you guys what they found and when i saw the picture of it uh like lopey told me the story and just now i'm looking at the picture of it and it does look like it's like if it was under water it would clearly be a lot smoother than that right like it would be way more worn down um it probably just looked like a normal rock if it was truly under the water and um yeah so apparently there's this artist that came out and he showed a picture here proving that he actually was the sculptor of this and the funny thing is like the museum like looked at it and they were like oh yes this this is very clearly an indigenous artifact and uh they claimed all of these things um [Music] but yeah then this guy came out and he was like uh yeah no actually that was mine and it actually just like grew legs and went missing yeah this guy like he sculpted it near the water and uh yeah he says like it's there's no doubt that it's my sculpture um it's just it's really funny but imagine like walking on the beach and finding this would you not lose your your mind though like because i would i'd be like i found something sacred from like hundreds of years millions of years ago and i am gonna be known as some amazing amazingness persons yeah so it's hard it's funny so now the museum's like okay well we're gonna look into this some more and make sure that uh yeah it's like it says it's sandstone for sandstone like you think it'd be more down a lot more if it was actually like some crazy artifact you know anyways i wanted to update you guys on that because it's been a little controversy here in my city and it's just it's been a good time these were a couple of um australian doggos um from the nashville museum or not museum uh zoo i was trying to create a spider sona for lopey here and this is another concept that i really want to do more concepts ideas thoughts things some kiki sketches more thoughts ideas things and i want to make something like this into a sculpture like a like window door i need to ponder it more quick sketches not sure what i was trying to do there um this was like i was just trying to figure out how to lay out a uh how i wanted the blm painting to go this was a cover for imaginefx this was me trying to figure out how to deal with like my business but like also not be anxious more concepts that's actually kind of cool i want to do that that looks fun um a carrot so that's pretty much it um i hope you guys enjoyed that i always like seeing into other people's sketchbooks see how they use them what they put in them it's always inspiring like to work on your own sketchbook afterwards i hope you guys kind of feel feel that for your yourselves i honestly going through even my own sketchbooks makes me feel like i'm working in my in my sketchbook as well so all of the links to these things will be in the um description if you guys would like my opinion on various sketchbooks just let me know i can do a full video on all of these i can see if i can get some some companies to send me a few more and we can try out a whole bunch of stuff together and i can explain to you what i think of the things because i have thoughts about each and every one of these that i would love to share so yeah i hope you guys enjoyed the video take care of yourselves and i'll see you in the next one bye you
