![Sketchbook, which is more than 100 years old [the beginning of the 20th century, 1910s]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7zk581QN7xU/mqdefault.jpg)
My handwriting looks like a tidy elementary school student wrote it, especially my cursive. :S
Kasey Golden hiii Kasey!
I know what you mean! My cursive has been compared to ancient texts...
Oh my, at least that sounds more impressive than "child." :1
Kasey Golden , I didn't know you watched this channel! So cool
Kasey Golden everyone calls my handwriting Hyrogliphics
I have an old book my grandmother gave me when I was like 5. I can remember going to another state to visit her with my mom. I thought we were just going to visit. I remember she was old and blind, and told me to pick something out (from her house) that I would like to have. She had lots of interesting things and I thought I was just getting a gift. I didn't know she was on home hospice, that she was going to die and wanted to leave me something. I remember picking it out and being very happy with my present. It's still on my shelf. I just finished college for writing. Funny how things become more clear as you grow up. That was the only time I got to see her, that trip. She passed while we were there. But I remember, and I love her.
Aww.
Was your Grandad planning on building another Hogwarts ? Ha omg he was so talented ❤️❤️❤️
Yay another potter head ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Potter heads hooray
Imagine if everyone's comments were in their own handwriting..
squeakyhammer Wow that would be so cool
That would make the internet so much more interesting
squeakyhammer
What about the bots
Or kids
Nobody could read mine...
Yikes
Everything is so cool, I would love a story time of this.
Thank you so much!
None of my family drew except my great great grandmother she painted but I never got to meet her of course
same
Alyssa's Channel is there any remnants of her work for your family?
Alyssa's Channel I am the same
Same except it was my great grandmother I met her when I was young and she died when my first sister was born. And her son threw all of her art supplies away except for a couple of things
Hey my names Alyssa too! And I don't think anyone in my family draws beside my brother but he draws off and on.
any chance that your grand dad actually studied architecture or was an architect? because i'm an architecture student and we do the same thing! the details of the walls/columns/ceilings etc. especially the fact that he wrote definitions or descriptions of each drawings, architects' main medium are inks as well
Elisa Shay yeah that's what I was thinking too. the way he drew the lines above and below the text is like what you do when hand lettering. he may have taken a drafting/architecture class because this stuff is similar to what I do in my drafting class at school
He was Definetely into architecture. His use of ink is so amazing, the detail and texture are on a professional level.
Elisa Shay I had the same thought going through this video... I am also an architecture student
I thought the same thing too....I've studied architecture and we made these details as a part of our architectural history class😄 awesome memories - this sketchbook tour brought back so many memories
Saame!! I currently study architecture and we do these the same!
My handwriting is ancient egyptian hieroglyphics.
Lol same
That is indeed very talented
That's the best kind wym
Oh, wow. This sketchbook is nearly 3x older than me. I'm glad you had it gifted to you. :o
We are so happy to have it finally safe and sound with us also!
Haha it's nearly 5 times older than me
It’s 5X older than me... woah 0-0
It’s like 5 or 6 x older them me
About 6.8x older than me...
Isn't amazing that this one book is a part of history? Steph your grandfather was an amazing artist, and although not exactly, you've followed in his footsteps and become an amazing artist yourself as well! Loved this video, and also Adam complimenting and showing so much admiration to your grandfather's work was so charming! Love you guys!
“It smells so good, it smells old” 😂
Wow nice artist family😁😁😁
Thank you so much!!
Omg your grandad was so talented!!
His linework is so beautiful! ;__;
You guys have been so inspiring and I have started to draw a lot more and be happy with my art!!! I want to thank you for making these videos and tell you to keep doing what your doing!!!
Aww this makes us so happy to hear!! Thank you! :D
if my future grandkids were ever to be like "Oh looks it grandma's old sketchbook, lets look inside!" Im pretty sure they would be confused, mortified and would probably laugh XD The art of today is MUCH diffrent than it was back then (and plus im not very good lol) Anyway, thanks for sharing this, your grandfather's sketchbook is awesome!
75 years ago...
*oh that is so good. Wow you must have been talented!*
75 years from now...
*oh anime*
@Orlieo _ I think what they mean is just how much art has simplified and stylized since then, today anime and cartoons are valid art forms but back then this was what was considered art. You can't really deny that comparing art back then to art now (compare your sketchbook to this one) and then take into consideration the mediums they used as well, it's definitely more finely crafted? More detailed and true to life so to speak.
I guess to op they just think its a step down from quality, they think its less impressive and truth be told, yea, its beautiful but compared to that it is less impressive, because anime is what I'm used to seeing so seeing all this old art wows me.
But ye, dont be so sensitive, this guy was just expressing their opinion, not invalidating anime as an art form. They just think anime is less impressive and if you dont agree with that its okay, you're both still valid anyway.
Edit: Thanks for coming to *my* TED talk.
Feel ya bro
I know. Everytime someone sees any form of art it's just *anime* now.

my handwriting is like if a person tried to write cursive but didn't quite get the idea of it
HAPPY FRIDAY! This is a really sweet idea, and I'm looking forward to watching the video. I hope you're all feeling well (Adam, Steph and everybody watching), remember to sleep, eat and stay hydrated!
We hope you have a wonderful day!!
shiverfawkes That's very sweet of you to say! God bless you!
My sisters and mom are always like why is your handwriting so messy but then at school everyone always compliments my handwriting 😂 I always thought that was weird
sAME
Relatable!
This was so wholesome. I have had to say a lot of goodbyes in the past few years and this just felt so satisfying, I guess in seeing something magical live on. Love you two 💛
My hand writing is either so good, or it's a whole mess. I'm really bad with spacing, partly because I usually write so fast and I don't think about it.
HAHA same!!
I died when I saw the notification for this, I love you guys so much
Marissa Fedor same lmao
Marissa Fedor same
Same problem Here..
Oh my gosh I'm so excited for this ❤💚 just ate an hour ago laying in bed ready to watch and enjoy
Also definitely related to Steph!!
Aww! We hope you enjoy the video!!
Doodle Date almost don't with it!! It's amazing and so much time and thought was put into it!!
Your grandfather's drawings are *WONDERFUL* !!! I really love it!!! That sketchbook, is very precious.... I'd really like to see it in person.... And your grandfather's writing is just simply *gorgeous* ...
My daughter told me all about this video and then we sat down and watched it together. This was so amazing! Thank you for sharing your grandfather’s incredible art sketchbook!! He was masterful and we are very inspired by his work!💖💖💖
Hey guys I wanted to tell you I'm so happy your on RUclips your the happiest channel I'm sorry sorry your granddad passed away!
You are so sweet to us Mylie!!
Its so beautiful!! now I know where Steph's artistic ability came from!
Aww! thank you so much!!
I wish l could draw just like your granddad
Bc he wrote in *beautiful* style
V YoonKookHobie armyyyyyy!
Mint Yoontea yaaaaay
V YoonKookHobie ikr
Just because you can draw it don’t mean you can write pretty. I writeso ugly but my paintings are really good
I think good handwriting was actually very common back then. I do remember going to a WW2 exhibition and saw the letters. They all had amazing handwriting. Heck, just search up old letters and you'll see a ton more. It could be because they were more religious back then, because my dad told me priests would teach cursive handwriting when they were kids, although I'm not so sure about that. He's from Iran, so things could've been different there. But yeah, I just find their handwritings super interesting. I've been trying to write in cursive too lately, and it's pretty fun. I think you should do that too! :)
i remember a teacher saying how impressed he was on how ugly my hand writing was but still remained fully legible. i took it as a compliment
I would love to have a story time!
This video was so cute and amazing. I bet your grandfather was amazing. He was an amazing artist! I can tell where you get your inspiration 😉
D'aww thank you so much! It really means a lot!
Your grandad must have been quite inspirational to you as a 15 year old just bless him for being awesome
really excellent detail of architectural design
That architecture details, that ink work, what a gif from ur grandpa, keep it as a treasure, i surely pay for an ancient book like that
Woah your Grandad’s handwriting and art is so amazing. How?! 😱 Love you videos :)
I wish we knew his secret as well LOL
That cover on the sketchbook is so cool!
Ellie O'Connor nice profile pic 😂
I used to go on feild trips to the public libary in my town, and I always went up to the floor with all the old documents. I love the smell of old books! There are still really fragile, but well kept, books from like the 1960's.
That's an awesome book! Scanning it to preserve it is a great idea. There are archival boxes you can get that will keep it safe as well for future generations. Once you scan it, you should save it to several locations or people so it's never lost☺️
My handwriting is barely legible unless I try really hard
IVE MISSED THE PAST 5 DOODLE DATE VIDEOS SO I HAVE BEEN BINGING ALL MORNING
It is lovely to see you again Lillian!!
I found the best way to improve my handwriting is keeping everything the same height and width 😊💛
Sketches were like printed not believe that someone could drew in such detailed manner and writing is so beautiful
I love how you take after your grandfather with your love of ink and dip pens. They are so detailed. :O
This video just gave me an existential crisis of all of my sketchbooks from age 10 till now ,,, will i still love art?? What the heck will happen to my sketchbook in 75+ years too??!
Sketchbooks*
I love that kind of gifts! It has way more value than an ordinary one 💓
Yes yes YES! to the "storytelling"! That is such a beautiful treasure that must mean so much. My great gran was an architech and artist, but when they moved, my mom and grandma, they lost all of her sketchbooks and "blue prints". I wish I could find them, since its such a treasure. Congrats on finding it!! ❤❤❤
My handwriting looks like a toddlers

I nearly started crying watching this.
So so happy.
😢☺
My dad does a LOT of art and I can’t wait to grow up and see the beautiful art that he made!
That's a precious item to have. I bet he would be chuffed to bits so many people are enjoying it thanks to you!
This video was really cool to watch but at the riders drawing at the end there it sort of hit me. The drawing had a mushroom cloud on it, or at least it looked like so. 1941-1942...these were drawings at the end of the Second World War. I find it even more amazing now.
I'm sure it's a tree, though--it's probably an illustration for the novel "Lorna Doone".
Wow his art was beautiful and amazing
We're so glad you think so too!!
It's interesting. Old traditions die hard sometimes. Schools encouraged us to draw and write about whatever we drew (in art or science class. lol). ALSO, that brown paper that your granddad used to create the "pocket" was common back in the day. I'm African, and the idea (which was enforced by schools primary and secondary schools) was to use the brown wrapping paper, similar to newspaper material, preferably plain, to wrap your book covers to preserve them. This included exercise and text books. I used to do it till secondary school....which i finished in 2005. I believe my old schools still do it today. lol
Your grand dad was a great artist.
Wow this is so amazing... the fact that he drew these during the war time blows my mind. Amazing. Thank you for sharing!
What an amazing thing to have, thank you for sharing it with us!
And thank you so much for watching!
We really appreciate it! :D
This is so awesome. Thank you for sharing this piece of history with us!
It looks like a text book on buildings,it's great that you have this moment from your grandad's life.
I am so impressed by your grandfather's ink sketches. What a precious thing to leave to you. I love arches!
Notification squad!!! I'm really really excited to see this Sketchbook, I've been thinking about it ever since you mentioned it!!
Thank you to everyone that has hit that bell for us! We love you guys!!
Your grandfather was literally the "I'm 13 and I just drew this *Mona Lisa photo* not to good but I'm practicing"
just the fact that this book was so old and belonged to a relative is beautiful, honestly.
Grandparents' sketchbooks are always so amazing! Everything was so detailed and realistic back then. Now we have anime rabbits.
Yay doodle date! 😁❤️
Hi there Evie!!
OMG I was waiting for this video ever since your guys mentioned it like a year ago!
Apple Kittem Same!
We're so happy to be able to finally share this with you guys!!
It's incredible that his book looks so amazing for it's age! The drawing and the writing look stunning!! I have my grand 10 artbook from 95-96 and my book I already lost the spine about 6-8 years ago.
I really enjoyed this video! It's actually got me a bit on the verge of tears. Last year, my grandpa died. He was like yours in that he was really good at art even from a young age but never really pursued it as a career. He ended up being an engineer for Grumman and worked on the Apollo missions. Every year he would draw Valentine comics for his wife and kids. He loved Snoopy and the the Peanuts comics and would draw little comics of snoopy and stuff like that. He was a great man and I unfortunately didn't get to know him that well, except in the end. I had a project and we had to do it on a family member so I chose to do it on him. I had to interview him as a part of the project so I did. I learned so much about him talking to him about how he had been drawing since he was a kid, designs for cars, comics about the base he was stationed in. I learned so much that day but two days later he died. I felt like I missed out on so much and we got a lot of his old stuff like sketchbooks and looking at them made me feel closer. Thank you so much for this video and I love your channel so much. Please keep doing what you're doing it means so much.
My handwriting is so bad a teacher once cut 10 marks from my paper for it and refused to admit that my answers were correct........everyone ELSE could read it though
Sanya Tyagi your teacher sounds like a jerk
Sanya Tyagi yeah typically teachers they never change
Oh my god I've been waiting for this 😍😍😍
THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER
I know this is a little different, but I have a journal from my grandpa during world war 2. He was in the navy, and it documents his experience on his ship. It’s the item I’m most proud of, and I treasure it so much. It’s so special when you have something that brings you so close to loved ones. I just had to share that on here:)
What a treasure to have something that old and to have something that was so personal from a grandparent..better than any other material gift a person could have.
I Can write neatly if I write slowly? But not that neatly lmao
Usually I write pretty quickly though so it's pretty squished and messy
Yeah at my school the teacher says write quick and neat (because we need to go quick coz we might be busy) and im like "if you want neat i write slow and if i write quick you *dont* get neat handwriting"
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching!!
That book must smell amazing! *loves old and new book smells* Your grandad had the most amazing eye footer architecture! What a treasure!
It looks like a school project to me. We used to be set projects for the summer holidays; on a subject of our choice which would have to include pictures & text...aah takes me back.
So lovely for you to have to remember him by 💕
This is so cool that you still have this!!! I love it!!!!
when using writing dip pens, my handwritings very fluent.
Anything else it looks like chickens ran cross the page-
same😂😂😂😋
I would love for you to do a show and tell where you travel to the places he's drawn or mentioned and read what he wrote about them. A multi vid series for sure.
I was about to comment "I can almost smell it!", and there Adam goes how amazing it smells.
Also, I’d not be surprised if the art book was part of an ongoing school Project.
Love it so much.
You guys should do redraws of Steph's grandad's art, I think it would be really cool to see your art styles with his
Its 12 am I should go to bed
*sees doodledate notification*
Nah sleep can wait
We appreciate ya stopping by!!
Thank you for sharing this with us, I love things to do with antiques and older things, I love old art so much!
My grandpa was really into art aswell he mostly painted though! But he did sketch, and when he passed away in 2013 he gave me all of his art supplies and stuff. This was really cool to watch :)
On the bottom of the cover it says “ H.Evans “
(Assuming it’s his last and first name)
But I thought it said “ He Yans “
.....
YESSSSSS! I wanted to see this for so long! So glad you found it and posted this video, I love you guyssss! Okay...time to watch! 😻😻
Thank you so much for coming to check it out, Toni!
As someone who’s great grandfather did watercolor art, and who currently does watercolor art, this makes me really wish I could see more of his work...
The way he drew the borders perfectly for each page!!!! I’m amazed, this is a beautiful piece of history
Goodmorning everyone!!! Have a nice day
Right back at ya!!
You had one cool granddad
The sketchbook is essentially a building within a building; an infrastructure considering infrastructures. Superb.
This was awesome. Thank you for sharing. I imagine back then, knowing the handwriting of my grandparents (and I'm 47), they were very disciplined in schoolwork and didn't have lined paper. Handwriting was something very heavily scrutinized and taught to be very neat, east to read, and nice to look at. I think if this was his schoolwork, that was definitely something he made sure looked presentable and of course that carried on throughout his lifetime as it does for us when we use it regularly, whatever skill it is. Handwriting back then was extremely important. I'm betting if that was a sketchbook for school or for assignments, it had to be kept very neat and uniformed. Either way, he had impeccable handwriting and a beautiful eye for artistry in architecture. Us artists see things like that. We notice details the everyday passerby would miss entirely, while we whip out out pocket sketchbook and fountain pen and stop to draw it or at the very least take a bunch of pictures and go home to draw it.
How cool he recognized you'd care for his sketchbook and someday deeply appreciate the pride he took in it and what a gift it is to have and treasure and even learn from. It's a beautiful homage to him and his life and a lovely and intimate piece to remember him by. ❤️ He loved you and obviously saw the spark you had for art and the talent and dedication it takes to become great at whatever medium or style you choose. Wouldn't it be cool to sit and share your sketchbooks with him now? That's what he did with you for your lifetime to come and to enjoy it. Thank you again for sharing it with us. That's rad he made the Moleskine pocket before Moleskine was known for its pockets. Seems like a cool guy.
I love you guys so much you are so inspiring ❤️❤️❤️❤️ keep drawing you’re amazing
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment Abby!
Doodle Date omg I’m so happy you guys replied you are amazing and have wonderful talent and I hope you never stop RUclips cause I look forward to you every time you post
My handwriting looks like a chicken has scratched in a load of ink and wandered off
I hated my handwriting for a long time, so I trained myself to have better handwriting by practicing the same way one would for handlettering. It worked! My handwriting went from gross to slightly messy but sweet about 7 years ago. And I love it!
Oh my this is so beautiful, I remember looking at my dad drawing back when I was little. He doesn't do it anymore but I still have a lot of his paintings and drawing. This remained me of that feeling
I have India ink as well. I need to buy something to use it though. This sketch book is so interesting. Also my handwriting is alright. I have a great signature though. Also nobody in my family really draws but I do. My uncle used to. And my one cousin does. I'm tempted to make a video about how I drew as a kid then how I draw now. The comparison is huge.
John Ridd is a character from a 1922 movie named "Laura Doone". She's aristocratic and he's a farm boy that she befriends. I hope you guys see this.
Doodle Stuff it’s actually from a book, Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor which was published in 1869.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful book your grandfather had made. Looking forward to future videos from you both, even a chill story time from this book for sure! It's so nice to be able to draw and listen to what either of you have to say.
Gosh the stuff drawn and written inside the sketchbook is so organized and pretty, I'm a little jealous
Thanks for sharing. He was really good at drawing ☺☺☺☺
my handwriting looks like a kindergarteners 😂
This is by far my favorite video you guys have made, that I have seen. I’m at or around 100 videos, I would guess. This sketchbook is a treasure!!! He was so talented. All I did as a kid was sketch Victorian era ladies and architecture for whatever reason. I mean, what 10 year old LOVES antiques and ancient architecture? We have more in common than I can say here as well. We can’t put all our private tidbits online. Love you guys and I would have loved your Grandfather so much. My ancestors are all Welsh with a tinsy bit of Scottish family.
This is so, so, SO cool! I hope one of my sketchbooks is still around in 75 years, and somebody cares to look at it! That would be awesome.
