20 YEAR SKETCHBOOK TOUR | Childhood - Art School - Animation Career

  • čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
  • I've been drawing for a long time. And as a result, I've gone through a lot of sketchbooks in the last 20 years. A couple weeks ago, I was helping my parents clean out their storage room and I found all my old sketchbooks that I filled through my childhood to art and animation school and as I was writing my book series and starting my career in animation.
    Touring through all these sketchbooks, you can see my artistic evolution and see the progress I made during different stages of my art career.
    Through my whole art journey you can see that I've always loved drawing superheroes and monsters. You can also see the most important time period for my drawing evolution. Just as I was fighting my way into animation school courses, I took a bunch of online classes for anatomy by Neil Fontaine over on Udemy. Here is a link to his courses:
    www.udemy.com/...
    I did eventually get into animation classes at Concordia University where I really started to hone my drawing skills!
    I hope you enjoy this sketchbook tour! Sorry that the quality dips near the end, there was a camera issue that I couldn't fix in editing.
    Also as mentioned my favourite youtuber is Mr Sunday Movies! Here is his channel / mrsundaymovies

      Your drawings are so good that a drawing a month earlier pails in comparison to your latest. You are on a role and are a big inspiration to me. I love your videos and I hope you could eventually post daily and make a podcast.

I'm more of a writer and storyteller but after watching your videos I actually want to give drawing another go. Also, I like using tech but I still love using pen/pencil and paper so I might need a bunch of notebooks 😁

    I love the growth being laid out that way. I also find it funny how so many of us creatives are so unorganized and bounce around from this to that so often. My sketchbooks mirror that same a appearance of being a little here and a little there. I use your youtube channel and art with my junior high art class and my kids and I just want to say thank you for creating such fun and very cool art into the world.

    I really liked drawing when I was younger and want to get back into it so this was pretty neat. I found all these sketch books from my early to mid 20s than I filled up while I was experimenting with psychedelics. Page after page of really weird creatures, cityscapes, and inanimate objects that feels like a trip in itself as I'm trying to understand the angles and dimensions I was trying to convey. There's a hobo looking dude that shows up a lot, usually peeking out from behind some obscure shape and wearing a whistling snail on his head emitting little musical notes. Haha, anyway... thanks for this vid!

    My daughter has drawn passionately since age 3 and is 9 now, I have all of her work in sketchbooks! My son is 6 and has only been interested in drawing for the last year but his work kills me. It is the most amazing thing to inside a child’s head through their art!!

That's why even tho he wasn't really the best traditionally, he still ended up becoming professional. To be honest, this just shows people shouldn't always crap on their art, if you practice, you'll progress. Peace ✌🏾

I wrote my name (I’m jasper btw) and the subject and I thought that was all good. Until my friend pointed out that I instead wrote “japa” on the front page. So in response we took that name, made it jappa with two p’s instead, and it became my nickname to this day.
