Hi everyone. I really appreciate you taking the time to view my sketchbooks. I hope this was/is an inspiration for you. Please make sure to watch all the way through because I cover many different types of sketches and show very loose scribbles and sketches that never saw the public eye when developing game and movie concept art! Comment below and let me know about your own sketchbooks and your struggles!
I was missing this kind of real drawing content. Everything going on the digital art way, its really refreshing just to see an incredible art with some realy cool design ideas.
I know you're a professional, but I didn't expect to see this much variety in every single sketchbook. Mind-blowing! Thank you for letting us take a peek 😄
OMG I'm really in Love with ua Artworks Sir. Being a beginner Artist, I would start sketching more often & get some skills to create a Treasure like yours.
As an occasional hobby artist who really just likes to sketch my ttrpg characters, watching this channel for a few weeks has already improved my sketches! Obviously nowhere this refined lol but it’s fun to see my ideas a little bit more evolved on the paper
Please make an Ecor 117 book. I can see that easily becoming one of my favourite art books. Loving all your new videos - always get excited when ever I see you upload a new video. Thank you for all the effort you put into this channel
For a second there, I thought I was the only one who wrote notes next to his concept art. Don’t like to doodle because I think it’s a waste of paper. I go 100% even on Art that is never gonna see the light of day. my kids think I should show my sketches because they’re too good not to be seen. But now that I see that you and I share the same passion for making everything 100% or not at all, I think I will show them.
Hi.Jim from Madrid, Spain (a fellow artist and a New Yorker expat living abroad). GREAT ARTWORK! AMAZING CREATURES! INCREDIBLE CREATIVITY! This is an exciting video. Why? Usually artists like to show their finest work (right? Who doesn't?), but... what really helps to "teach" and for others to learn is understanding the thought process of the artist as well as studying his doodles, thumbnails, mistakes and of course, his/her more finished work. Personally... to be able to have a glint on the actual daily grinding work of a renowned artist as yourself is INVALUABLE as an apprentice! So thank you very much for giving us the chance if peeking a bit inside your thought process and vision. BTW... just an idea (some great artists do it too)... If you ever decide to publish a sketchbook series of your hand drawn on paper Art (good and bad and anything not under an NDA) please let me (us) know so I can purchase a copy of the book... This information is what really helps me (personally speaking) how to improve and to really expand my brain! The 500 thumbnail series is... AMAZING! Too bad I can't see it in more detail (I can spend hours just trying to learn and understanding the thought process). Can't wait to continue to watch your pencil Art work (I don't do digital). Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎✌
Really enjoyed seeing these sketchbooks, you have a unique style, great creativity, killer details and textures. Look forward to the Ecor 117 project art book. Themed art books is a nice interesting way to go, especially in graphite pencils and/or B&W ink. Quite a few of the more finished illustrations in these sketchbooks would be awesome in an art book too!
the sheer variety of your creatures is astonishing, along with the characters and enviroments. the demons also have such a funky appearance with all the twisted muscle and warped bones making them just so demon-y :) mind if i ask, for the thumbnails, whats the best way to avoid repeating similar designs/stay unique with each one you do?
How many years of drawing did it take you until you finally felt like you had figured things out and could draw whatever you wanted and could also take on jobs without being concerned about failure?
Hi. I am concerned about that... You see, i am 30yo. I started drawing like 3 years ago.. I had no idea but it turn out that i really enjoyed it ! So much that i thought that i wanted to make a créer out of it.! But it took you like 33 years to get to this point. That mean that if i work really hard i could make it... When i am 60yo.. This it a bit discouraging because i probably be older and tired.. Add to this the fact that i have a house to repay and we want a child in the next years. With all this.. The possibility to make a career out of drawing seem nearly non existant.. Do you have any encouraging thougts about this ?
@@TheLouis8 it's a tough road, but looking at the bright side, you can understand much more at the mature age of 30 than at 4 years old. It can probably take you around 8-10 years to become really good if you have good teachers and know how to practice, although learning never stops. Good luck!
@@TheLouis8its the hours put in, the consistency, and proper targeted studies that will pay off. If you work hard enough like 6-8+ hrs a day you could get where you want in less than 5 years. How bad do you want it is the question?
I knew you had an impressive skillset with creature design but after watching this tour im impressed at learning how versatile your skills are, ill continue watching your videos. Thanks for sharing
A friend of mine (Bill) here in Cincinnati recently took your class at Manifest Drawing Center. I was shocked! I had no idea you were from the Cincy area originally, and was sorry I didn’t know about the class. Manifest is a bit of a haul (over an hour) for me, so I am not too involved with them. But I told my friend to let me know the next time you are doing a class at Manifest. Love your work-big fan from Schoolism.
Blown away by your work. Not since Adrian Smith's early Warhammer pencil & ink work have I seen such detailed demonic beauty. Bet you're a Wayne Barlowe fan too?
With all of the awesome art in these pages, this may seem like a strange thing to say. But I especially love the emptier pages with just a few small sketches. Those pages help me relate to you as an artist and the struggle to produce consistently (which I have struggled with)
Sketchbook tours always inspire me to draw in my sketchbook, so thank you. Have you tried toned paper? I would imagine it works great with your style of work.
Man you are amazing!! Like have you taken some kinda art classes n all coz the work n all you are showing is amazed us in RL.. Keep spreading the knowledge 🤘🏼
I love your drawings! They are on another level , I really love drawing Demonic characters. Mainly large face portraits but I struggle with shading creating evil smiles and broad cheeks. Mine usually look abit off . Could you give me a few tips thankyou 👍
My sketch books…..ALL my sketch books, mow and through the years….they never can stay so perfectly pressed like they were just ironed. Am I the only one?
I have a question, for all of your drawings are you doing it from your head? And how do you plan things out when you do it from your head? I started my art journey March 23rd 2022, and I draw monsters and animals. I am a biomedical engineering major and I want to master drawing things from my head. Doing references makes me feel like a subpar artist. I would love to hear your opinions and what to do, your shit is badass man!
I have another question. For example for prehistoric animals like Paraceratherium, the tallest land mammal to ever live. Would using its skeleton + the texture of rhino skin be a good way to draw it (it's a type of rhinoceros, fun fact rhinos are defined by the shape of their back molars NOT their horns). Or understanding the skeleton of other ungulates (hooved animals) would be the best way to draw it? I would love to hear what you'd have to say.
It's incredible ! I was wondering during your sketchbook tour, are your client works mostly in traditional medium ? And few in digital ? During the video you have a lot of client works in your sketchbook (which seems to be fantastic btw) and this question pop up in my head haha, you're work really shine through traditional medium ! It's great !
All those sketchbook are impressive and tight ! Do you apply fixative ? Looks like they're printed, as there are no smudges or things like that. This year I wanna try a pretty sketchbook like this, aswell as keeping the "shit" one for experimenting. Do you feel more comfortable with larger sized sketchbooks ? I feel like A5 is too restrictive for me
I see that you draw on both sides of the page, ¿how do you keep the graphite from smudging to the other page when you close the book? THanks, great video!
Do you ever get out to a zoo or nature preserve and draw animals from life? My wife and I do this at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle at least a few times a year. We love it.
There are good brands to use such as Canson, Strathmore, and Zenacolor. I personally use Moleskine. There's a link in the description where you can purchase it.
If it's really good but you "didn't finish" then that means it was finished, otherwise it couldn't be really good. Finishing a drawing doesn't always mean EVERYTHING is included.

This isn't a sketchbook, this is a masterpiece! Not a single page wasted with ugly scratches or a single unfinished piece 😅
That is very kind of you to say! Sketchbooks are so therapeutic eh?
I was missing this kind of real drawing content. Everything going on the digital art way, its really refreshing just to see an incredible art with some realy cool design ideas.
Man…they look so amazing, it’s so cool that the human mind can come up with that stuff, and the human hand can put it on paper. Well done.
Ur art and videos are just amazing, im binge watching them all rn :D
I know you're a professional, but I didn't expect to see this much variety in every single sketchbook. Mind-blowing! Thank you for letting us take a peek 😄
I love being able to see other peoples imagination come to life thru detailed art like this. Great work!
Thank you you made me drawing again. Awsome style you have.
I'm glad you like it

Gems! put them all in an art book, this is the kind of stuff that's right up my street, showing your creative thinking.
So good man love seeing all the sketches!
I LOVE the book drawing you did, getting so much inspiration from this clip...thanks so much for sharing!
Please make an Ecor 117 book. I can see that easily becoming one of my favourite art books. Loving all your new videos - always get excited when ever I see you upload a new video. Thank you for all the effort you put into this channel
Amazing art by an incredible artist

Stunning skillz and imagination. Love your work, the creatures in particular.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like the creatures.
Extremely talented and beautifully detailed.

I like making things "demon-y" I'm going to use that term🤣
Fabulosos 👏todos son inventados ,gracias
How many years of drawing did it take you until you finally felt like you had figured things out and could draw whatever you wanted and could also take on jobs without being concerned about failure?
Well, I'm 43 and I started drawing when I was four. About six years ago is when I finally hit that sweet spot and developed my own style.

This channel is quickly becoming one of my favs!!!
Dude that's amazing to hear! Thanks for sticking around😄
INCREDIBLE!!
Nicely done my friend
Love your artwork and your tutorials on how to shade. Just subscribed, too. I'm going to try some of your methods in shading, too.
I'm so happy that i found this channel.
Outstanding work. Thank you for sharing.
Many thanks!
Wow, inspiring seeing those, thanks for sharing. And much much better on ad frequency, made watching even more enjoyable.
Thanks, man.
Amazing man. Very inspiring
LOVE this sketchbook so much, definately taking a deep dive into your channel this is exactly my kind of thing hahah
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for this Video.! Your work is incredible.!! 👊🤩
Thanks for watching!

fantastic work. Wow. Definitely gonna check out some more of your videos!
Awesome, thank you!
Being only half your age your work gives me hope that someday I can reach this level with consistency
Just WOW
Wow thx you very much !
Man made so many that he forgor names. I really love watching you just draw and your art is absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much 😀
So fantastic! I just want to copy a few drawings. Love the quality and the style of the drawings very much ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Good job👍
Sick sense of volume! And material.
Your sketchbook is a diary. Mine is diarrhea. XD
With all of the awesome art in these pages, this may seem like a strange thing to say. But I especially love the emptier pages with just a few small sketches. Those pages help me relate to you as an artist and the struggle to produce consistently (which I have struggled with)
Thank you. I try and tell aspiring artists that scribbling and loose sketching can be more powerful than a finished drawing.
A lot of your style and shading reminds me of Alvin Schwartz the scary stories illustrator. I love that stuff.
You are so incredibly talented 😮
Thanks, Kyle! Awesome physique, man!
Salute from France.Wahou !! Amazing ! i am new to drawing, i drew one of your creation...you are an example for me ! MERCI ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Mind blowing! *timetoburymysketcbookinthebackyard
Awesome drawings! How often per week do you draw. What’s your routine?
🤩🤩🤩.
Dude u are amazing!
I appreciate that!
Sketchbook tours always inspire me to draw in my sketchbook, so thank you. Have you tried toned paper? I would imagine it works great with your style of work.
Yes I have and thank you!
Waauuw! Wtfff 😂 Haha this is amazing !! 🤩 😁👍
Thanks 😆
Great stuff dude
Appreciate it!
Wow! Just wow! Your art is amazing. How long did it take you to get to this level of detail?
You mean per drawing or just ability?
Man you are amazing!!
Like have you taken some kinda art classes n all coz the work n all you are showing is amazed us in RL..
Keep spreading the knowledge 🤘🏼
Thank you so much 😀
I love your drawings! They are on another level , I really love drawing Demonic characters. Mainly large face portraits but I struggle with shading creating evil smiles and broad cheeks. Mine usually look abit off . Could you give me a few tips thankyou 👍
I would love to see u do some drawings in colored pencils, that would look insane im sure!
Funny you say that because I'm literally recording my next video with colored pencils😉
@@bobbyrebholz2183 Cant wait!
Brilliant - what kind of sketchbook are you using here?
My sketch books…..ALL my sketch books, mow and through the years….they never can stay so perfectly pressed like they were just ironed. Am I the only one?
❤❤❤❤
I have a question, for all of your drawings are you doing it from your head? And how do you plan things out when you do it from your head?

I just bought a pack of 4B's and some wax black (Prismacolor is waaay too expensive! :)
It's incredible ! I was wondering during your sketchbook tour, are your client works mostly in traditional medium ? And few in digital ? During the video you have a lot of client works in your sketchbook (which seems to be fantastic btw) and this question pop up in my head haha, you're work really shine through traditional medium !

It's a good mix of traditional and digital.

This year I wanna try a pretty sketchbook like this, aswell as keeping the "shit" one for experimenting. Do you feel more comfortable with larger sized sketchbooks ? I feel like A5 is too restrictive for me
No fixative. I use black Prismacolor along with my graphite pencils because the wax helps keep the graphite down.
Great works! Do you somehow fix your pencil drawings from smudging when page is done?
Thank you! I don't use anything.
Do you use fixative in your sketchbook? You are amazing!
Thanks! I don't use any spray.
A drawing of a insect that will eat your face awesome, but who eats the insect? 😂
Even though currently this video is ten days ago the creatures that you make look like they could be in a video game
Thanks. That's my job actually.
Great video!
I was just wondering how do you get these sketches not to smudge?
I keep my hand off while drawing. I go over my methods a lot in my videos.
I see that you draw on both sides of the page, ¿how do you keep the graphite from smudging to the other page when you close the book? THanks, great video!
Thank you. I go over that in a lot of videos.
so rude@@bobbyrebholz2183
My sketchbook looks like someone's kid took my pencil.. lol sometimes I get something good in there but its mostly skribbles and failed drawings
Do you ever get out to a zoo or nature preserve and draw animals from life? My wife and I do this at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle at least a few times a year. We love it.
I love going to the zoo when I can!
Hello, what type of paper you recomend for graphite? Or wich sketch book are you using? 🙏
There are good brands to use such as Canson, Strathmore, and Zenacolor. I personally use Moleskine. There's a link in the description where you can purchase it.
Thanks for the answer 😊
Please make an art book
Please make a ballpoint pen tutorial 🙏
That is definitely in the works!
what a freaking monster
so start drawing animals first then move on to more complex creature designs?
Yes!
You do know the Bible has a lot of unique creatures it talks about, you should explore that. 😊
I have a whole demon series
.
I hated The Mist, I thought it was a horrible movie 😂
Hahahaha to each their own. The ending was BRUTAL.
Did you do any work for Dark Souls?
No
You're insanely talented I just recently found your channel so Im about to binge lol @@bobbyrebholz2183
Is it okay to start a drawing and then never finish it even though it was really good?
If it's really good but you "didn't finish" then that means it was finished, otherwise it couldn't be really good. Finishing a drawing doesn't always mean EVERYTHING is included.
@@bobbyrebholz2183 thanks
