Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your grandfather and his life with us. I can hear the pleasure in your voice while talking about him! That's a wonderful memento to have. My mother and I shared a crafting passion in almost all the arts. I haven't been able to go through her craft room yet, but hope that when I feel emotionally better I will find some wonderful mementos too.
Indeed wonderful memories. I can understand it takes a lot more time to do that since it it's your mother. But yes, art is a nice thing to share - and I like the thought that she will somehow live on that way.
@@illustratornamedkasper thank you so much!
thanks to share with us.
im very thankful to saw this amazing Art from your grandfather. its inspired to me... 🙏
Keep these video data , high alien.
@@illustratornamedkasperThank you for the memories you’ve shown us, I wish you the best.
your grandpa is in heaven now. And he smile up there, when you see his drawing :)
I'd like to think that too =) Thanks for tuning in!
The character with the mop is "Jiggs" from the Jiggs and Maggie newspaper strip.
The Cows and the Castle on the lake and the Backpack ones are really polished. Be interesting to scan them and colour them in photoshop.
thank you for enlightening the origins of that drawing! Seems like a fun cartoon. Those two drawings are also my favorite ones. I also really like the "Life or death" in colored pencil.
Thanks for showing it, Yes that Liv and Dod one looks great, very much like Picasso. Very nice .@@illustratornamedkasper
Why to colour them in photoshop? it's somebody else's art, what would be the point, really?
@@georgie5700 Kasper would end up with something nice to hang on the wall for the children to enjoy and be collaborating with his grandad on an artwork. It's common for linework to be colored later. The originals are still undamaged.
@@mrwoodandmrtin it's ok for your own sketches or from a coloring book to do whatever you please. But for something made by someone else who at some point watched it and decided it was finished, I find it sacrilegious (maybe that's too much but I can't think of another word), even if those drawings are from a 12 yrs old kid who lived in the 1930s and happens to be your grandfather. Not that he would mind, tho. But I'd rather create my own art if I feel the need to create something, to do something with my hands or to just kill the time.
I found a child's sketchbook from probably c.1768 inside a 1768 Book of Common Prayer. Was really interesting seeing what they drew back then. A lot of it was quite similar to today (animals, scenes from the bible, people, silly faces etc) but also some more unusual stuff (hanging, agricultural tools, ships)
Where did you find that?? Thats so cool
@@mr.mcnuggies The book was in my parents' library, my family have lived in the same house for 300 years so there are a lot of old books etc
Post pictures?@@jakecavendish3470
That is an absolutely amazing find.
Can i see that
For your grandfather’s time as a 12-year-old, his art was pretty impressive for his age.
Agreed. There wasn’t many good resources back then, so you had to make do with what you got. It was really a sink or swim moment
people used to draw more than they do today. lack of distraction, probably, and the lack of computers that do the work for us. drawing was more relevant then
Not really
lmao u dont know what art is then @@GhostsGenocide
yes it is u could not do better@@GhostsGenocide
Your grandfather sounds like he had a similar career path to my great grandfather. He was an artist, calligrapher and cartographer. We have his diary from his time in the British cavalry during WW1. It features sketches of horses and the French countryside. He had so much incredible belongings that we saved from my grandmother’s before she passed away.
uh, that sounds really interesting. I'm fascinated with those times. I'd like to see a map from his hand.
This made me cry, thinking of my future grandchildren going through my sketchbooks.. I know it’s selfish to think of myself. I’m on the last page of my 3rd sketchbook and I hope someone spends the time to go through it someday the same way you have with your Grandpa.
I don't think it's selfish at all, you just wanna share your passion with your loved ones! It's going to be great.
I took a look at your page, you are very VERY talented, I'm sure your grandchildren will be proud of you
that doesn't sound selfish to me
Seeing your grandfather's drawings made me realize the beauty in just drawing. I've been drawing since I was a child, but after I grew up I feel like I need to draw perfectly, without mistakes. and that makes me stay away from my sketchbook for months. But watching this video I realized that just the act of drawing is wonderful and fun. this is so pure. Thank you for sharing something so valuable with us! hugs from Brazil.
Thank you for your comment. Your reflection made me genuinely happy! I feel quite the same way. Drawing is not about doing perfect things, it's the act itself that should be cherished!
Thanks again for tuning in.
there's something so entrancing about learning about tiny pieces of the past generations' lifes, and people tend to underestimate how much of a role art plays into human history. if you were to pass down this sketchbook for the next three or four generations, it could genuinely become a look into those years of living for the children of, let's say - 40 years from now. it's really amazing when you think about it - being able to contribute to this sort of lineage of knowledge. but i guess for now youtube does the job lol
What a treat! I love that thought, of what your grandad would make of his sketchbook being open to the whole wide world! I hope someone does that with all mine!
I think if I told him before he passed away he wouldn't be able to understand! But I'm sure he would appreciate it, because he was a proud man =)
Oh god, I hope nobody does that with mine.
@@judeperks6612 🤣
@@donnabuttons1 I'm gonna need to burn half my notebooks before I die for fear of infinite humiliation 😭
at least you're gonna be remembered for all of history lmaoo@@judeperks6612
Not only is it cool of you to share your grandfathers work, but it also shows that all you need to do to get good at drawing is to continue to practise.
very true!
If this sketchbook is from like 1939 and the grandfather passed away in 2018, it means that he lived until the age of 91. A very long life of a very interesting person! I'm glad you still have his works! My grandfather Vladimir was an artist too and I want to find his works.
Man such historical treasures must be kept for centuries, thank you for sharing your grandfathers works. May He Rest In Peace.
The improvement is really interesting
I’m glad youtube algorithm decided to share this gem with me today
Yeah, it's kind of interesting how long a period of his life the book stretches over.
It's interesting to see the portraits he drew, the old hairstyles and clothing
It's so beautiful! When i was a child i paint very awful, but my friend and teacher always told me that i good artist. It wasn't a truth. But I thanks them for this support. Now i have 7 sketchbook and many many full arts. I just want to say that you shall belive yourself and continue drawing. Sorry for my bad English. I hope that you can to understand me
I understand you perfectly! They sound very supportive. Practice makes perfect, just gotta keep at it, that is also my motto!
Kasper what a treasure , your grandfather's drawings are wonderful! And how well is kept after so many decades . Thanks for sharing ❤😊
He was very good at taking care of his stuff too! Thx Gaby.
I never thought I'd would wanna see how a person's sketchbook would look like in the 30's, but here I am! :D
I write.
I wonder.. my grandchildren gonna find my diaries and journal one day...
i think they will be thrilled to read.
@@illustratornamedkasper Surely they will cause I'm writing since my teenage so there are so many things interesting things about so many things 😅😂
This is so beautiful, to have a memento of a dear familiy member, my grandfather loved writing, and i keep a lot of his novels in a portfolio, he loved romantic stories and i loved reading them.
I just finished my work and turned on youtube, and i was lucky that i found this video.
really made me move. I also have a passion in art, and i hope my descendants will also have a passion art and have a wonderful time drawing a masterpiece together.
Makes me happy! Thank you for tuning in.
This album must have seen *a lot* of things, as it has drawings from the man's childhood and up until the military service. That's at least 10-15 years! And now these 1.5 dozen years of the personal story have got through nearly a century. That's just fascinating.
Isn’t it wonderful that the things which, in the present, are considered normal, routinely, boring contain an insane amount of potential to be considered as treasure and discovery just a few decades later?
Life is so short; we can either live to treasure that which is around us or die having never treasured it at all.
93 year old book, and sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing a special thing from your family with us, we appreciate it.
This is a beautiful way of passing your grandfather's legacy on. Thank you for sharing all of this.
Wow, it was wonderful to have a look through your Grandad's sketch book, how lovely that you have it safe and I can see where you get your drawing skills from Kasper! A shame he did not want to tell all of his stories - Ive heard a lot of people here in the UK kept their secrets for decades after working with British Intellligence during WWII. I wonder if it's partly that they signed the Official Secrets Act so felt they still weren't allowed to talk, but also because they were difficult times to remember, especially with people who didn't live through it with them. Iused to love to hear my Granny's stories about the war, it seemed like old history to me at the time, but when I think about it now I reaised that in fact it was only twenty years after WWII had ended that I was making her tell me those stories about what it was like to live through the Blitz. I think one of your comics would be a wonderful way to remember your Grandad's history if you have enough material.
Yeah, could be that they signed with them. I also think that that generation might be a more "dedicated" to staying true to what they sign - could be!
Oh, it's so interesting to hear stories from then, but of course they must have been hard to live through.
I also recall a story he told me of german tanks coming by on the road one morning. My granddad got mad with his dad not doing anything about it. Crazy times.
I don't think I have enough material unfortunately, but I have viviv images in my head of what he told me =)
finally. the sketchbook which don't have any anime in
lol. I have 0 animé in all of mine. But have actually thought about trying it out one day, it looks like fun!
Whats wrong with anime.?
@@A_Rainworld_Fan. All.
@@A_Rainworld_Fan. nothing at all. Perfectly fine to do. There are just some who associate anime with the cringe we see online
@@A_Rainworld_Fan.
It's probably because it's the most common thing everyone has ever drawn
I wonder if RUclips and this video well still be up in 100 more years how beautiful and surreal would it be to watch this video and see comments of 100 years past talk about a grandfathers drawings from 100 more years back then
In this case ill write this comment here to make sure it will happen! This will be long forgotten...
Yesterday my grandma died and she was one of the sweetest people I ever met and this is a kind of way for me to cope
your grandfather was so talented! thank you for sharing this! when you saw the car drawing with the 2 trees its so crazy its likes this book is frozen in time!
This is a beautiful gem. Thank you for sharing this little piece of personal history.
So awesome! I have one my grandfather's sketch books. It means so much to me. Even though it is not full of drawings the ones that he did create are really nice. What I think is so cool is that he would go to the art museum near us and sketch the sculptures and African masks. I can still go to that same museum and see the objects that he drew as a young man.
Thank you so much Kasper for sharing this wonderful treasure of your Grandad's! It made me think back to the many arts and crafts my Grandma and Grandpa introduced me to. I miss them terribly.
My pleasure! So do I. Glad they passed those things to you.
ВаУ! Це так зворушливо. Ти наче гортаєш історію яка застигла в моменті, історію рідної людини закарбованої в тонких листах альбому, на сторінках яких, залишилась частинка спогадів пра-дідуся. Мій пра-дід теж був надзвичайно талановитою людиною і теж мав хист до малювання. Хоч таких рідкісних речей мені не вдалось дістати, моя бабуся(його дочка), передала його картини(ті які вдалося зберегти, а за своє життя він дуже багато малював), на полотнах, написані маслом. Це надзвичайно. І тому - Ваша історія відгукнулася теплом у моєму серці.
Дякую
You should get some transparent sleeves for those pages, have them professionally preserved for display. Lots of options that will greatly prolong the lifespan of such a delicate heirloom.
you're right. I'm so afraid of silverfish, I see them now and then in our flat and they like paper.
Absolutely heart warming. Enough to make anyone cry. Even (almost) 100 years ago, we are the same people
Twiddle yes!
3:30 those are so so awesome 🤩
Thank you so much for sharing your Grandad's Sketchbook with us. He was very talented ✏🎨
It’s every artists desire that some day, when they are gone, that people will enjoy and find meaning in their art.
Now so many people get to enjoy your grandfather’s art.
Thanks for sharing 😊
I found it quite interesting that all of the pictures portray how their Grandpa was thinking and what was going through their lives the sketch book is like a time capsule. Thank you so much for Sharing such a wonderful memory!
Your granpa's drawing is good!
Rest In Peace to your grandpa...❤
This is really cool to see! Your Grandfather had a great taste in comics, I especially like his rendition of Mutt & Jeff skating
I love seeing the improvement of his art, it's really cool.
Your grandfather’s a really great artist! God bless him!
Very heartwarming. I wonder what he'd think about all these people taking a lot at this drawings. On a side note, dear god, the eyebrows.
This is beyond heartwarming.
Also the first comical bit with the men on skis and the plump dude waddling towards them is from an animated Christmas special I am currently forgetting the name of. It's really beautiful and well done like everything else in this charming little timepiece!
Thank you infinitely for sharing.
a viewer has found out I think, Mutt & Jeff?
Thank you tuning in, I did not expect such an overwhelming reaction from people.
My great-grandfather also died on 2018. It was on December 18, 2018 its sad that he didn’t reach Christmas with us
that is a great family heirloom to have🙂 nice piece of history and a lovely memories to have of your grandfather 🥰
that was a cool drawing for almost a 100 yrs old drawing!.. Epic
My great-great-grandmother was the artist in the family, she drew on leather in the gauchos' equipment, it was so sad to hear my great-grandmother tell that all of her mother's sketches were lost after his mother died of tuberculosis.
It is wonderful that they keep the sketchbook, it is truly a relic, also that you were able to show them to the world in this video, your grandfather will live a long time in the memory of the people who have seen this video ❤
🌸💕🌷 so beautiful, a link from a grandpa to his grandson 🌷💕🌸
I’m a Norwegian born in 1967 but still recognise a lot from your grandfather’s drawing from 1949 09:10 The nikkers/knickers and leg socks which is still in use among many ski goers. And the bamboo poles, which we used up to the eighteies. He must have been pretty immersed into Norwegian outdoors culture 😊🇳🇴👍🏻
that's really kind of you to add to the knowledge of the culture of this book, thank you! (didn't even realize that was bamboo, but I can see that!).
Yes, he spend a great deal of years (not sure exactly how many) in Norway in his youth =)
@@illustratornamedkasper The skigoer in your grandfathers picture is using the «fiskebein» or «diagonalgang» technique for up-hill climbing on skis (I don’t know if there is an English term for it). Its pretty advanced, so he know what he drew 🇳🇴👍🏻
BTW check out the drawings of Peter Wessel Zapffe - Barske Glæder or Kjell Aukrust (many books) for some Norwegian drawings contemporary to your grandfather
In the last year I visited my grandmother once every Friday, and we had a lot of really interesting things to talk about and share (she is probably the first person in my family with whom I share my passions, characters and stories)
Learned a lot of unexpected things about her as well, both she and her father were engineers back in Soviet Union, and it turns out that I am currently studying at the same university as she did, and this is honestly fascinating, I have noticed that we have so much in common!
Obviously I have a lot of similarities with my father as well, but I am really proud that his positive attitude and a bit of a rebellious spirit lives in me! Honestly, I am surprised that none in our family was a musician, especially my father, he just had the perfect style and aura. Although, I did learn that he used to paint a little bit back in his 20s, and I am currently teasing him a bit that he should give it a try again
I love how calm this video is
Thanks for showing us please keep this in good condition some libraries collected old sketchbook as artifacts
I don’t know if there’s anything left of both my grandpas, may they both RIP. But I applaud you in sharing your grandfather’s works from his youth. You’re keeping his memories alive. ❤Keep them safe.
This is so amazing I love pieces of family history like this, its so beautiful that people can leave something so personal behind. My grandma still has my grandads guitar from when he was a young man. Even though the world was such a different place back then, people's drive to create was just as strong as it is to day and this is a gorgeous example of that. Thank you so much
Very sweet of you to share this. Your grand dad was a talented man.
I feel very happy for you that you have such a cool heritage. I really miss my granddad. He also liked art and drew sometimes. But he didn't collect them properly due to his condition or whatever. I was almost crying while watching your video and listening to the story.
How much I envy you for having such a close relation with your family❤
This is so beautiful I love it
WOW! The paintings is so cute
Than you for showing us a piece of life of your Granddad. I hope you grow
Awesome drawing art works.
And especially for 💯 years 😺👍.
This is so fascinating. I wish I could see more sketchbooks from history.
its like showing his journey from beginner to being a good artist!
Very beautiful sketch book your father was very talented!
as an icelandic person who’s really interested in nordic history, this was really cool! a look into the past that can’t be seen anywhere else. loved this video
I always loved seeing other people's sketchbooks, but seeing one so old in such good condition is amazing. Thank you for sharing this! :)
What a treasure! Thank you for sharing this with us!
That’s well-maintained for a 100 year old sketchbook. Mine’s 2 years old and is already disintegrating.
your grandpa was very good at drawing! for some reason, i love how the paper looks old and wary.
also, i somehow kinda came up with a story idea just by looking at your outfit. there are some parts i couldn’t really come up with something for, but i didn’t spend a lot of time working on it haha. if you want to see what it’s about here’s a copied version from my notes below:
A middle aged man tries to follow the path of his grandfather trying to make a time machine to make himself feel better after the death of his grandpa who he thinks is his fault he died. [idk what the reason is yet] his wife divorced him because the man was always working and didn’t spend time with her. the kids went with the mom. occasionally, the mom will come over to see her ex-husband to see if he’s doing okay (because she still loves him and cares about him). The man’s kids want him to stop working and they try all they can to make him take a break. As the story goes on, the kids teaches him lessons and eventually, he stops working and takes a break.
I think you should write that story. You could post it here on YT.
You should film a video of you recreating his old drawings
i think they drawings should speak for themselves, they're his.
Very beautiful. Loved the gasmask drawing, especially
Amazing. It breaks my heart to think about people who live their lives, create things, collect things, and when we are gone, those things remain. What happens to a lot of these things? They get thrown away sometimes. It's kind of an "existential " thought that goes through my mind quite a lot. Like too much, keeps me awake at night, among other thoughts. I appreciate you showing this and giving respect to your Grandfather. It is very nice to see.♥️💔💙
i can relate. Imo it's a balance. For instance I threw out a lot of sketchbooks, but I am keeping a few, those who I really cherish, because otherwise I'd have to rent a container to keep it all in, and I don't want my kids to clear those containers one day. But that's many years from now - let's cherish the present! Thank you for watching!
This sketchbook really kind of serves as a time capsule of your granddad's life. It's fascinating to think about the stories behind each of these sketches! It's truly special ❤
I think it’s wonderful how you are able to find so much to complement and praise in each drawing. Most people would see it was done by a 12 year old and instantly write it off.
This is a relic and a piece of history, thank you for sharing this with us for all to see :)
You are so lucky to have such a wonderful thing from your Grandfather,
I would be tempted to frame them all ,
Thanks again 👍🏻
Great sketches, drawings. Jealous a little bit with your Grandfather’s sketched album, lost (burned and modernized part of our old house) my sketches, stories, in young age, school time, probably around 180 pages (coupon bonds size). Thanks for sharing your video, very nice feeling after viewing them. Stay safe, God bless.
Very precious connection with your grand father.
Indeed. Thx for tuning in!
It's literally 4 AM for me here in Germany and I stumbled randomly to this video and I'm glad I did. Really pretty drawings, thanks for sharing :)
Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Brazil.
Ur grandfather is really good at drawing
Every flip of a page changes the way and style of drawing, seemingly an evolving hand skill being storied in a sketch book
I loved this so much I cried
Wish I had more of the original art my relatives made. My grandmother did beautiful paintings. I only have some photos of them though. She did beautiful horse paintings. I have some crochet she did, and one small painting of a palm tree. My uncle on the Nielsen side who died several years before I was born was an artist and also made puppets and had puppet shows. My aunt Joy Nielsen used to send me letters with funny little drawings in them. I still have a few of them. My brother was a commercial artist. And I love to draw and paint. Animals mostly. Good thing you have his sketchbook.
I love how the flowers on the left page at 2:12 are clearly his rendition of the same flowers the woman was painting in the previous drawing. Very much enjoyed this, thank you for sharing.
This is so precious, thank you for sharing🥰
this was really amazing to see, thanks for sharing man!
The sketches reminded me of my grandfather's drawings. It must have been a hard time for them but at the same time full of motivation in that world they were building for us. Thanks for sharing 😊greetings from Chile, South America
wonderful video. thank you for sharing
Great sketches, Love them! Thank you so much for sharing your Grandad's sketchbook.
Arthur morgan 😯
Loved looking at this!! Your Grandpa was very talented at a young age! My husband's Grandma saved her school work/books/ drawings etc. Her handwriting was very good too! She was born in Ohio to German immigrants in 1899. She lived to be 106!
Have a blessed day❤🏜️ Az.
So many people have come to share this wonderful sketchbook with you., and have found your channel. One last gift from granddad. ❤️
Enjoyed watching it! They all look amazing, Thanks for sharing his wonderful artworks ✨
His art improvement was so smooth. Nice vid.
sometimes i wonder if things like this should stay private. it’s so cool seeing it, but there’s also a certain charm to keeping a family artifact like this to yourself. like when kurt cobain’s diary was published after he died :/
I think there's a huge difference between a diary and fragmented drawings. Also, comparing Kurt Cobain to a total stranger's granddad seems like comparing apples and windows.
In a way, I understand what you mean. I feel comfortable in sharing it with the whole world though, because only I in here know how he looked, how he smelled and how he talked.
so rare and timeless remember you are lucky
clearly is a talented and amazing person
Thank you for sharing us ❤
