  • Grab a cuppa and get comfy, ‘cause it’s time to sit down, have a catch-up, and unwind with another Sketchbook Session! ☕✏️ (As well as ponder some more existential bits n’ pieces that’ve been on my mind lately -- as tends to happen whenever I make one of these 😅)

    I've missed Paddy and Felix! It was cool getting to know a couple other of your boys too, but the fact that we know who the first two are makes it more like seeing an old friend for the first time in a while. It doesn't matter how long you go between episodes, I'll always be coming back.

    Honestly you don’t need to upload often or even on a schedule to make my day. I just watched this to kind of calm down before I go to sleep and that’s an effect a lot of your stuff has. Just calm comfortable vibes for all of us (I hope for you too c: )

    I was organizing my scrap paper for scrapbooking and journalling while watching this, and the exact moment you mentioned Kiki's delivery service a tiny scrap of paper from a kikis delivery service art pamphlet flew out from the stack into my lap. I thought the connection was so interesting so I thought I'd share :)

    I swear every single one of your videos I've watched has made me so flippin inspired to not only draw but work on some of the daunting tasks and projects I have going on- I'm not really sure how else to explain it, but your work and the way you make your videos specifically so home-y and encouraging just- somehow makes me less scared and more energized to get back to reality. Thanks so much for your videos!

    These rough sketches are so good, just the form, perspective and flow of the characters is so good and to get it from such a quick sketch is incredible. I can't get anything that quick without a 3d model to reference my poses to

    hey man, i know very well how much this year has had a lot of ups and downs. i know i’m totally late to seeing this, but i’m glad that you’re doing okay, and know that we’ll be here to support you all throughout.
    i didn’t come to comment just on that - i wanted to say that this is probably one of the most calming and chill channels i’ve found involving art, and these sketchbook sessions have gotten me back onto an art kick. thank you for all the chill vibes you bring us, and for the aesthetic drawings we get as inspo while listening to people we care about with relaxing voices ramble on about things that matter but are still rambling and vibey. (and that made no sense lol-)

    "Just keep on doing okay" hits so hard with my current situation I had so much negative stuff happen in 2022 since like late 2019 things have been kinda rough so when 2023 came around I was like "No need for this to be a particularly good year I just need this not to be a bad one, I don't care how much good happens as long as there isn't to much bad I'll be alright." and when in the past 3 or so years you lost 4 family members, the school you've been going to since 3rd grade shut down and now you can't see any of your friends from there list goes on and on and on literally even the smallest thing is absolutely amazing I don't think I've ever been as excited to get my favorite oreo (Mint) then I was today every good thing just hits so much harder when it's been years of bad
