Art goals for 2022 1. No buy 2. Use the supplies you already own instead of collecting them. 3. Draw/sketch everyday. 4. Challenge yourself. 5. Paint. 6. Throw your insecurities out the window or put them to sleep.
@@brainierpenny4879 well, I did buy a few things here and there. Not much. I am drawing but not challenging myself. Got into bookbinding. I’m doing just fine😅😅😅.
I really like the way most of your art is drawn with sharp angles and straight lines but when it comes to people you draw them so soft and round. It adds such a nice contrast to your pieces!
The digital sketches you were doing are absolutely beautiful! They really remind me of Bladerunner. Also love how it seems all your art work has purpose. Like it doesn’t just follow trends, it’s based on objects and people you’re interested in and it really shows your style.
Your drawings remind me of the anime called "Blue Period", It revolves around a boy when saw the city in which he lives in during morning and it felt all blue to him and he tried to immitate the same effect on his canvas thus he got in drawing stuff
Just bought the file! All of those look really great, very inspirational. I also wanna mention, that I bought my first dip pen 2 weeks ago, because I found your channel and I definitely don’t regret it. I really love your stuff Kenn, keep up the work, you’re inspiring people here, salud!
oh my my this is giving me so much inspiration. I'm just only beginning to learn to draw, so a lot of things seem to overwhelm me when watching others' artwork but, for some reason, I really really am inspired by your work. I hope to be able to draw spaceships as amazing as yours.
Hi! Really love your sketchbook tours. Was wondering if you've read the Three Body Problem series? I've been reading the first book recently and can't help but think about your art as I imagined it. :)
That’s awesome! I love that you have the devotion to stick to one color for an entire sketchbook! Now, we all know most of your sketches are straight eye candy. But, the consistency of that blue makes it soo damn satisfying! Lovely art!👌🏽🌟
NICE WORK. Love that you narrated. You gave every page context. As a fellow illustrator, I really appreciated your explanations of your process for each page. Thank You for sharing.
I love Sketchbooks with a color scheme! In 2017 I filled a sketchbook with purple and I lived it so much that I am currently redrawing every page digitally XD I wanted to redraw an entire sketchbook this year to get more familiar with digital art but also to see how I improved and to this day the purple sketchbook is still the most satisfying to flip through :D so it was the perfect choice for my yearly challenge XD
Having a sketchbook theme makes things so cohesive and great to look at. Even the "not so great" sketches. I haven't tried all one colour yet so ill have to add that to the list! Less of a sketchbook goal (although practicing more refined sketches would be nice) is to actually communicate with fellow artists more, so- Love your work! Both in and out of the sketchbook, and cant wait to see more from this secret project! ⭐
1. Beautiful sketchbook, will definitely be buying! I love working with blue ink (dip pens and water pens) and it’s so inspiring to see your stuff 2. Mech sketchbook when??
You are so likeable and refreshing. I’d love to have people like yourself in my circle of friends to talk about one’s passion for arts and creativity. I look forward to making my way through all your videos. Oh and your work is beautiful 🤙🏼🤙🏼
0:47 Is that the scene in Annihilation: Nova were Rich meets Worldmind? Nice. Also love your sketches and the fact that you do a little bit of everything. People, buildings, portraits, mechs, plants, armor...etc...
This is so cool! So much practice! Also, love your line work! Really eye opening to how many different ways you can use one color. And thanks for the hilarious commentary lol
The amount of detail you include in your ink drawings is seriously so insane! That blue pilot ink is fountain pen ink which is probably why it’s so thin and bleeds so much. Fountain pen ink is really temperamental about paper. I’ve had a lot of success using fountain pen ink on paper that’s stiffer (idk how to describe it, it’s just like less soft??) and has some amount of sizing like mixed media or cheap watercolour paper, and also on straight up fountain paper but both of those can sometimes be pretty expensive.
The different types of arches is such a unique page, thanks for the inspiration! Now I want to draw different types of everything and make a sketchbook just out of that idea alone❤
I don't know why, but i really liked the first drawing of plants with squares and one of them with some sort of pipes instead. Would like to see that coloured
11:20 I did Judo for a bit before it was interrupted by the pandemic and my first thought when I saw that drawing was "no way is that judo?!" - so yeah, I think you captured it 😁
peonies and chryzantemus are my favourite too, they are very well structured when it comes to learning shapes being close to each other and some organic lines, as always nature does not disappoint :D
I always enjoy your sketchbook tours, and this one was particularly lovely. Your linework is sublime, I adore the mix of natural and mechanical subjects, and your attention to and patience for meticulous details will always impress me immensely. I also think your choice to stick to blue for an entire sketchbook added an extra coolness and charm. Plus it's always fun to hear your thoughts on what worked and didn't work for you. By the way, have you ever watched a video by Peter Draws? You two come across as very different artists and people, but you somehow also remind me of each other.
I spent last year doing what I do best - painting waterscapes and plants with watercolors. But I also studied anatomy and portraiture a lot to get better at drawing people. I improved very much and this year one of my art goals is to put what I've learned to use and draw people in actual situations. I'm starting by copying reference photograph and observing backgrounds and perspectives. I'm very curious how it'l go. Otherwise I want to continue refining my watercolor skills, I would like to have a repertoire of techniques since it's my favourite medium and so versatile. At the moment I kind of flow with it, but I actually want to work towards controlling it a little more and even try to paint neatly with them instead of the typical bleeding style of watercolors. I also want to dip my toes into digital stuff. I'm very hesitant though. I tried it now and them, but really didn't like it. So, instead of starting a drawing from scratch digitally, I'm going to make a lined piece traditionally and practice tracing it digitally, then color it very simply without thinking to much about it. I think that's a good way for me to start. By the way, I'm the girl who bought the Brause pen nips after your nip video and they are such a game changer !!! I think drawing and sketching with those will become very regular for me from now on.
Right now, I'm using Endless Stationery's Recorder in blank A5 Regalia Paper. Regalia is my new favorite after Tomoe River changed owners. And using it for fountain pen sketching, it's very smooth and shows off ink qualities really well, and still able to hold washes of watercolor and marker, so it's turning out to be a mixed media sketchbook. Just thought I'd say this since I know you like drawing with fountain pens too.
dude I love your work so much. I'm always so happy when you have a new video out, gives me the motivation to keep drawing. Hope youre doing well. Your digital work is also superb! I know editing is a lot of work and time consuming but definitely recommend making a video on your digital stuff. Peace and love!
Your videos are so chill and really get me in the mood for drawing I just wish you got more attention on RUclips. Also would you ever think of doing any prints or something as well.
I do the same to pay more attention, when I'm drawing, it's like I process better the information, thanks for sharing your sketchbook and your process, it's amazing
People, look what this man does. This is called ANTHROPOLOGY. When something is drawn, please ANNOTATE. Make reference and understand the things you do not know when you draw some subjects in your sketchbook. Annotate helps a lot organize your thought process. He does that his way. When the SUBJECT is ARCHITECTURE then there are some classical behaviors for such approaches that are already well known. Every artist should at least familiarize with this. Look his approach. The other important aspect is ORDER. The sense of order is essential for the creative process. Exercises and scrap paper is way important too. Brainstorming always helps. Sorry for being a bit technical but this could help a bit UNDERSTAND what you are doing.
looking at your spaceships drawings makes me want to draw spaceships so bad, theyre so cool! but about your ink issue-- you might be able to find the same shade or something very similar with a different brand that has a drier ink. i use J. herbins 'gris nuage' with my fountain pen for sketching and because its a drier ink the lines are thinner and dont bleed. Some guy at a stationary store was telling me that the 'wetness' or 'dryness' of an ink really depends on the brand so maybe you might have better luck with J herbins or something? hope it helps :)
This comment might not get seen but i was curious of how long you take for each sketch cause it comes across as a slow process for each sketch and that's really cool. I tend to rush my sketches and they always look messy and rough.
Thank you for the inspiration: I am working on a Sketchbook with grey paper and filling it with crosshatched animals. I think I will add some insects because of your drawings

I am drawing but not challenging myself. Got into bookbinding. I’m doing just fine😅😅😅.
rip i collected a bunch of watercolour this year, hopefully next year i'll have the mental capacity to make my comic with them...
Well, now I need a blue pen.
Right? Looks so cool.
pen blue /ij
Yes I got a blue pen… but I am still trash

exactly this! I love how unique of an artist they are!!!
I felt they were a little boring.
@@paulwoodford1984 only boring people get bored (and comment disparaging and unhelpful comments) 😋

love how some of these have very intricate and specific info on them and others are just like "spaceship, spaceship, mech doodle"
Such a great sketchbook! Love that you managed to do the whole thing in blue :D
Why tf are you verified?
i was quite excited to see some stag beetles! i love your art & insects so it was very cool to see them together :)
Glad you enjoyed!
Your art is truly wonderful and you have inspired me like crazy
I'm so glad!
"digital sketches" shows absolute masterpieces

Thank you for sharing! Luckily it works on my other papers. It's such a shame since it's such a lovely shade of blue.
24:04 the position of the spaceships formed a heart!!
It's amazing how good you are at drawing mechs and how your whole sketchbook has a characteristic that makes it different but yours at the same time 🛐
that art montage near the start was fucking sick

I love sketching with blue because it makes my brain go into blueprint mode which is great for designing things

Great sketch book. I like the concept of using only one color for the whole thing.
The Blue ink and Blue color pencil is very therapeutical to just see and look at, keep up the good work!

you are such an underrated artist! love your mecha stuff
Wow, man. You’re art is so inspiring and I’ve been yearning to get back into it-this was the push I needed.

Hearing you dream of getting a specific houseplant since you don't have money for kids felt like the most millenial/Gen-z thing ever. Loved the video!
Your videos are so chill and really get me in the mood for drawing I just wish you got more attention on RUclips. Also would you ever think of doing any prints or something as well.
Blue period 😃
I know why you mean about sketching helping you focus on something like a lecture or a meeting. I do that all the time
Your sketch book is the very best. Thank you for sharing.
Best mecha drawing channel I've seen this far
I do the same to pay more attention, when I'm drawing, it's like I process better the information, thanks for sharing your sketchbook and your process, it's amazing

when the blue period hits
My favorite flowers to draw are both chrysanthemums and peonies! You have great taste!
I personally really love the Lamy turquoise as a lighter blue that doesn't look too turquoise, yeh
This is beautiful
so inspiring thanks for uploading!!

Thank you for the inspiration:

For a moment, I thought I found a Blue Period inspired sketchbook, really. Nonetheless, I really want to check your sketches out! 😁
you are so incredibly good at drawing every single type of machinery even non existing ones!! how do you come up with the idea for it?
I can't find this sketchbook (hardcover book) :(
an artist.
happy new year buddy
You too!
Have you ever tried thickening that ink? Might be able to mix in some starch or something to make it less watery.
The vanity of this guy..
Cool as per usual 😉
