  • I graduated from high school in 1995, and this sketch book was made in '96, but I cut way back on my drawing for a couple years and really didn't pick it up again until 1998. I was 21.

    I have to say I am really impressed with your sketchbook. Not just because of the art...but because it shows a teenager that was really driven. I wonder if you know how rare that is? I am going to show my two boys this video. I believe it will inspire them too.

    I've had an abundance of sketchbooks throughout my life time. Some I still have and some I have lost. Good thing I have a great memory, to redraw what I've lost. I have to say art is a big part of my life. Hopefully I can keep up the great work like the rest of the art community. Yes sir! By the way Jake Parker your doing a fantastic job on keeping art alive! Keep up the great work!!! Look for my comment on the next latest vid.

    Currently 17 right now, I kinda regret throwing away all my artwork from when I was 5-6 years old, usually I drew buses, trucks and trains back then :P But I still preserve some drawings from when I was 11, I usually drew expensive cars and cop cars. I still do it today, only my drawings improve overtime.

      That's great! If you've got a good work ethic and an ability to learn I don't think you're ever too old to embark on new adventures. I still want to try out new things and sometimes I wonder if I'm too old. Then I remember that Miyazaki didn't start drawing his manga Nausicaa until he was 40 years old and I re it's never too late to try something new.

    Jake, this is not fair. the reason to watch an old sketchbook art is to see the progress of the artist, from kiddish art to PRO level mature quality. but I see your art in 96 and to me, if you are 100% now, in 96 you were 98%! look at the work! it is almost the same as last year. little AVATAR Navi female @ 4:38. young SKULL chaser@ 3:40. Fox kid. dinosaurs, robots, ships! what changed? be reasonable and show us your sketchbook from kindergarten so that we may blow our minds.
