Guys, this sketchbook is filled up. So I'm going to give you a sketchbook tour. Yayyyy~
Here is my sketchbook.
It’s from the brand called ‘illo sketchbook’.
I believe it's an American brand but don’t quote me on that because I’m not sure.
However, I bought it in the United States.
I’m not sure whether you can find it in Thailand and other countries.
So if you know where to purchase it, you can share the info under the comment down below.
I started this sketchbook in 2019.
So it’s been with me for 2 years.
I usually love to draw both on my sketchbook and my iPad
so it took me quite a while to finish this sketchbook.
Ok, let’s begin the tour.
This is the very first page on the illo sketchbook.
This section here, you can fill your information.
In case you lost your sketchbook and the person who found your sketchbook has a way to return or contact you.
However I didn’t put anything here though.
For the first page I usually leave it blank because I don’t want the cover page to get smushed.
Here is the first page that actually has drawings on it.
However I kind of lied to you all here. This page isn’t the first page I drew.
The first page I drew on this sketchbook was actually this page.
While I drew this page, I talked about how we are sometimes afraid to draw on the first page because we feel like it might ruin our beautiful sketchbook.
So just skip the first page and you can alway come back to the first page whenever you feel ready.
So this page I actually came back and filled up when I almost finished the entire sketchbook.
This is just a bunch of sketches of women that I’ve got reference from pinterest.
This page is just some doodle.
Also I have a video when I draw this page.
Next page, I have video on this page as well.
In the video I talked about you can alway find inspiration around you.
At that time I grew some tulip and I took that as my inspiration for designing this character.
Next is a fanart of Lifeline from Apex Legend.
I haven’t played an online game for so long.
I’ve seen a lot of my friends go back to play Apex, which kind of makes me want to play video games as well.
Next page is a fanart of Yeji from the Kpop group called ‘Itzy’.
I didn’t finish this page but I drew this page since their first debut song ‘dalla dalla’ came out.
The song is quite catchy and I like it so I drew some fanart.
Next page has a picnic theme.
In 2019, I celebrated my birthday by going on a picnic.
This whole page got inspiration from that picnic I had.
This lyric right here is a song lyric that I kind of into at the time.
Here I wrote down the chorus part of that song.
This is one of my favorite pages.
I used pink pencil and black pen for the lineart, and some watercolor for coloring.
This sketchbook can handle quite a bit of watercolor.
You guys will get to see more watercolor used in this sketchbook when I go further into the sketchbook.
These two pages, I glued down a new sheet of paper on both pages
because I tested some of the gouache color I had and I didn’t like how the pages turned out.
So I drew something and stuck it on these pages.
I did some drawing study on the choreography of one of the Kpop songs.
Can you guess the name of the song based on this drawing?
I’ll give you a hint, the song is from a Kpop girl group.
LOL What a useful hint.
I already glued the paper to this page but I haven’t done the same on the other one
because I want you guys to see what’s behind it.
I want to show that it’s totally ok to glue and cover up your sketchbook if you don’t like how it turned out.
Oh! In case anyone wonders, I used copic markers in yellow and blue to draw all of these.
Moving on, this page is a fanart of Overwatch in Songkran (Thai water festival) theme.
Also have a video on this page as well.
Some doodle sketches here.
I used some watercolor, black pen and pink pencil as usual.
The camera doesn’t quite capture the pink pencil but it's there.
This page is about my thoughts after watching the Avengers: End game.
I got the ticket here that indicated it’s in 2019 and some of my thoughts on this page.
I also have a video all about this whole page as well.
Here is a 100 hand drawing challenge that I did.
I’ve done 50 hands on this sketchbook and another 50 on my iPad.
I drew all these hands with black pen and colored them with watercolor.
Early on in my sketchbook, I recorded the process whenever I drew on my sketchbook from YouTube videos.
However I feel these days a lot of my viewers gravitate more toward drawing on iPad.
So I tend to post stuff I draw on my iPad more often.
Let’s continue to the next page.
This page has some figure sketches and doodles of some cute tops.
Sketch with black pen, again.
I started to explore other mediums, in this case this with color pencil.
I got a set of prismacolor pencils to play with.
I sketched with pencil color right here.
Then try to combine the color pencils with watercolor and this is what I came up with.
Not going to lie, I really like how it turned out, the color pencils make the lineart look
softer compared to the lineart with black pen that I usually like to do.
Plus it works so well with watercolors.
*fast car driving sound* Oh...vroom vroom~
On this page, I tried to design some merchandise based on my cat ‘Chiquita’ but it didn’t turn out as I wanted.
These two pages are the result of I don’t know what to draw but I know I want to use watercolors.
There’s not much to say about these pages because It’s very random.
I drew hydrangeas on this page. Which is my favorite flower.
Then I designed a character based on a hydrangea flower, similar to how I designed this tulip character.
I tried to make both designs look cohesive, like they’re with the same theme.
And of course, I do have a video on this drawing as well.
Next page, these two pages are one of my favorite pages from this sketchbook because they turned out so great!
I used pink pencil, prismacolor pencils, mostly I used red.
I did use black pen at some parts of the drawing and the whole thing got colored with watercolors.
Potentially, I could add one more drawing in the middle
but I’m too afraid to ruin these beautiful spreads so I stopped here.
And I do have a video drawing this page as well.
Here are some more color pencils with watercolors combination that I was really into at the time.
During this time I render out my drawings with these 2 combos quite often, except for this page.
Another two spreads that I really like.
I used watercolor to color them and I think these pages are a good example on
how layer colors with watercolor on this sketchbook’s paper look like.
This paper can hold some water quite alright, not as far as the wet on wet technique though.
But it works great with layering colors with watercolor.
There are some wrinkles on paper but not too bad.
In case you didn’t get a clear view on this page.
Let me go back to this page a bit.
I was going to color this page as well but I got too lazy so it ended up didn’t happening.
I’m not sure if you recognize them but this is a pancake and this one is supposed to be a waffle but I didn’t finish it.
I was supposed to paint on those waffle textures but I didn’t because I’m too afraid to ruin it.
So it turned out looking like a cookie now.
The last one is a whip cream.
This page is when I was about to start the inktober project.
So this was like a preparation that I did for the inktober 2019.
Here are some character designs that I had in my mind and then on this page I tested
some equipment that was going to be used in the project.
As for the equipment I used for the inktober project are, a pigma brush pen, a pigma micron pen and a faber castell pen.
For the sketches I used pink pencil and red colored pencil.
Here are some more brainstorming pages on the Inktober project in 2019.
And here is where I started the inktober 2019 project.
Of Course, all drawings in this project were recorded and posted on my channel.
The theme for this project was about witch girls and deserts.
Too bad I didn’t finish this project.
I got to day 19th before I got exhausted and burnout from drawing inktober and making videos at the same time.
I did feel ashamed of myself for not completing the project but oh well…
These 2 pages are probably my most favorite pages.
This lady is a witch tea and beside her is a witch latte.
If you like to see the process of any drawing in this project, be sure to check out my inktober 2019 playlist.
I’ll link it under the description box.
Next page is just some doodle.
For the next one, I went back to Thailand and took some watercolor courses while I was in Thailand So this is a result from that course.
I did make a review video about the course as well.
This one is doodle with… I believed I used a Koi brush pen.
I used all of the pink art supplies I owned in this drawing.
Another doodle with a Koi brush pen.
This page, I went back to the good old watercolor and colored pencil combination.
I didn’t finish her because I was lazy.
Another doodle with the Koi brush pen.
Is it Koi brush? Yeah.. pretty sure it is.
I didn’t draw on my sketchbook for any months because during that time I’d mostly draw on my iPad.
This page got created after many months passed by and I finally came back to the sketchbook.
Just some doodle with a red ball point pen.
And next page, I did some brainstorming for green emojis challenge in these 2 pages.
Might be a little hard to see here because I used green colored pencils for the sketches.
But I’ll insert some close up footage for you guys.
This page, I realized my sketchbook was almost full, see that?
So I did some mini-project during my stream on Twitch.
I tried to fill up the remaining pages on my sketchbook every saturday on my Twitch stream.
That way, I could force myself to really complete the sketchbook.
I did this page during streaming as well.
This is my point of view while drawing in my sketchbook.
My cat was napping on my lap as well. Sooo cuteee.
I didn’t live stream while drawing this page.
This page is some study on honey and brown skin tones.
Oh my gosh this page, I didn’t live stream this page as well.
I got interested in drawing backgrounds so I found some reference photos on pinterest and drew this.
This drawing is about vanlife, which is something I kind of want to try.
I used some washi-tape to taped off the edge here but the tape actually ruined the paper though.
So...10/10 wouldn’t recommend washi tape for this sketchbook.
I did this page during livestream.
It’s a lady with a mushroom head.
At first she didn’t have a mushroom head but I added the mushroom head later on.
One of my favorite pages because it is so colorful!
And this is the last page.
I leave this one blank because I don’t want color to smush with the under cover page.
So yeah, this is the last page.
It’s a drawing of once again the pinterest girls.
However, this drawing is the one I like the most.
It’s a drawing of swans!
They’re so cute!
I believe I used the Koi brush pen with a red colored pencil.
I kind of started to like this new combination, so much so that I might do it again in my next sketchbook.
And this is my sketchbook tour from 2019 - 2021, Yayyyyyy.
Wow, so many memorable pieces in this sketchbook.
I’m so glad that I finally finished this sketchbook.
My next sketchbook is probably going to be an illo sketchbook again because
I already bought another sketchbook from Illo.
In case you guys don’t believe me, here is the proof!
I really like this sketchbook.
However the price is a little high though.
I’ve been talking about this sketchbook non-stop but this isn’t sponsored by them though.
Well, I hope you enjoy the tour of my sketchbook.
If you have any question about equipment I used in any particular drawing, feel free to ask!
I hope you like this video.
Like and share are alway appreciated.
Alright I’ll see you guys in my next video.
Bye byeeee
