Drawing on my Sketchbook Cover with POSCA PENS and COPIC MARKERS

[@LethalChris1]

Hi everyone! For this video I decided to draw on my sketchbook cover! But I wanted to make this project a little bit different and decided to make the sketchbook covers from toned tan mixed media paper. Continuing to have so much fun using Posca Pens! I'm really proud of how this project turned out and I hope you enjoy the video. Be sure to let me know what you think of it - and also let me know if you have any suggestions for future art videos I should try. Thank you so much for the amazing continued support! It truly means a lot to me. I hope you're all doing ok and I hope you're having a great day. :) -Chris

LethalChris Drawing I just got some posca markers and decided to draw on my bike helmet. These videos are a great inspiration for me, keep it up 👍

[@abigailross1890]

I think it def a good idea to do a couple of tests with the tan paper+all the diffrent media you used if you decide to varnish or seal it, its awsome and I'd hate to see it muddled, but protecting it would be good to.

[@shelloholadive3668]

did you try gouache paint before? i really want to see you try it in your drawings ☺

[@cheets23]

draw more cyberpunk like style

Chris’s drawing style is really satisfying to watch no cap

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Joe!! :)

[@erika71classic]

I agree Joe. I found it very relaxing and inspiring.

[@ladyravengirl]

Drawing on the sketchbook cover is like an introduction into the sketchbook, great job Chris, so relaxing to watch your draw.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the support!! :)

Sooooo good to watch 💛💚💗💛🧡💚

I have the entire posca range. I have been using them for the last 10 years. They where the first paint pens i ever used and I’ve always loved them. My only issue is even with the 1mm you do struggle to get the real fine detail the copic multi liner sp in 0.03. I have started using the rotting radiographiic set and those really are a bit special for fine detail. But when it comes to making a drawing pop then copics are great. Also try molotow paint markers. They have an amazing deep black that I prefer over most.

[@LethalChris1]

I'm so glad I finally tried Posca pens. They've been awesome so far, but I totally agree about the struggle of drawing fine lines with them, especially on certain types of paper that aren't completely smooth. The Copic multiliner helped me a lot in this drawing! Thank you so much for the recommendations. I truly appreciate it. Hope you're doing well!

[@bashfulkidd77]

I haven't touched any of my art supplies in a good while. Watching this has ignited my itch to express myself again. Thank you, I might even pick up a set of posca pens to give them a whirl.

[@LethalChris1]

That's amazing to hear. :) Wishing you lots of support with your artwork!! Hope you're having a great day.

[@bashfulkidd77]

LethalChris Drawing Thank you so much! Keep up the great work!

This feels like a Christmas gift

[@MrThankman360]

Dude’s “sh’s”, “s’s”, “t’s”, and “p’s” are lethal, for real. Great art as always. One of the most talented on KZbin. Super nice and modest too.

[@karannarula9358]

So many practice sketches on different surfaces for one illustration, such hard work and commitment, no wonder your art is so great.

[@jonadegner7003]

It looks like a mythical creature book that I really want to read. An extremely majestic drawing!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much! :D

[@lasarith2]

[@bluepandadrawings]

I could watch and listen to you for hours about mythical and fantasy creatures. It's like my mind is immediatly creating this world. You are amazing :)

[@elipetrou9308]

I always look forward to these videos, thanks for the great content 👍

[@sofie4443]

I love the depth in the leaves in the front cover.

[@alexaviercomics4241]

Hey man, you’re so inspiring to watch, you’re one of my artists inspirations, and your art is so badass

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! That means a lot. :)

[@sharonsartisticcorner1195]

Thanks for being such an inspiration, Chris! You’ve made me think out of the box, try new supplies, and design characters more realistically

[@LethalChris1]

It means a lot to read this. Thank you so much for the support, Sharon. Wishing you lots of support with your artwork!! Hope you're doing well. :)

[@MistahZAY]

Always satisfying to watch these amazing sketches.

[@brinny8965]

Reminds me of the anime "The Ancient Magus Bride".

[@LethalChris1]

Haha awesome! I just had a look and I see what you mean! Thanks so much for watching. :)

[@brinny8965]

@@LethalChris1 no problem. I love you art. Everything pops very well. You are a very talented artist. 😊

I thought I was the only one!

[@phyllisbaird2423]

Live your drawings! Thanks

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you for the support! :)

[@EvanArtsy]

I love watching the stuff you come up with in your sketch pad

[@stephaniec.7431]

What a great video! I love all the elements: crafting your own cover, mixing different supplies (the poscas really pop when paired with the copics), and drawing a really interesting creature. It looks awesome, great job! Also, the color pallet you used was so interesting. I wouldn't think to pair all of those colors together, but it works so well.

[@hummingbird828]

This drawing is really beautiful. The colours go so well together an the whole drawing has a great 3D feel to it. I really like it a lot.

[@MoltenImaginings]

Just really love those colour choices! So vibrant and bold.

[@sofie4443]

I love your creativity and different styles in one drawing.

[@ashleycaulfield1823]

Such beautiful work! I love the combination of materials. Thank you for sharing.

[@rydescho]

This turned out beautiful! Great video LethalChris!

[@rockfan3317]

That is amazing! I love the red circle background and the golden/yellow line detail, it looks so cool!

[@sonjamuller9397]

The combination is awesome, also the design of course!

[@eragon2639]

Awesome art, very satisfying to watch, and this would make an epic tattoo design 👌💚

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much!!! :)

[@divamagpayo6377]

Stunning! Love hearing the background story! Thank you for bringing us through all the steps!

[@happygolucky5855]

Yes! Look so amazing! Instread of clear varnish, you could put on clear plastic wrap that people use to protect book covers. Its super sticky on one side so it sicks to the cover. But its really clear and doesnt affect the colours. It just can be a bit tricky to put on because its like a stronger version of cling film.

[@lindahazel5075]

I love the mythology behind the drawing which is stunning.

[@emmas6450]

Your art is awesome dude :D

[@Michael-nm3sb]

These videos are so relaxing about also inspiring. I have so many new ideas for my own art after watching this video.

[@alinamarie22]

The drawings are amazing! The final pieces on the front and back cover make the sketchbook so unique and special. It is really inspiring to watch your videos.

[@kylenaversen]

This is breathtaking and your art has inspired me to do more art projects. Keep staying awesome and stay safe.

[@mariahollingshead7079]

Your art blows me away every single time you upload

[@dr_slytha]

Some self-laminating sheets you can get at office supply stores might be a good option. That way you aren’t painting or spraying anything on the cover. The are a bit tricky to lay down, and you only got one shot to get it right, but they work very well ☺️

[@hannibalm090009]

Beautiful video, it's so motivating to hear all the thought and the inspiration behind it. Also you're videos are so relaxing

[@Thecurvypenguin]

Your videos are sooo satisfying, calming and inspiring! This is by far my fav video!!

[@artistblock8538]

Both drawings are amazing and was just amazing to watch

[@Azareea]

Awesome drawing and idea with the cover!!!! 😁😆

[@liamkoziel772]

Amazing! I love the combination of poscas and copic markers in your drawings! All of your drawings are so inspiring and just amazing! ❤️❤️

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! :) Hope you're having a great day.

[@Zoe-ft6hx]

you could use a thin layer of a clear mat, semi gloss, or gloss spray paint to help keep it protected. basically just a cheaper version of most varnishes, but that way you wouldn't accidentally smudge any of the ink. and if you test it beforehand it should come out the way you want it to :) edit: you could also test one that you would paint on, on a separate test sheet and see what you like the best.

[@joshchamberlain8070]

Awesome Wendigo thing!!! Never used poscas. You should try customizing a shoe or something!

[@highwayman01]

Good morning, Great video, I have been painting my notebook covers for some time now, I use Acrylic and paint directly onto the covers, afterward I varnish the work. Your skills are amazing.

[@louisianalevy7484]

This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and I LOVED it! Looking forward to seeing more ❤️👍

[@Starforsaken101]

Clear coats often make the colors more vibrant and contrasting. I would really recommend doing one.

[@sachicocoa9013]

This was really enjoyable to watch! I'd like to try out this idea myself...!

[@iris...4452]

This is the first video of yours I have seen and you are an absolute wonderful artist!! Definitely glad I found your account!

[@d0ct0rpus]

This was my favorite Witcher creature and I think this turned out wonderfully! I love the contrast of the copics and poscas together on the neutral paper. Looks dope, you’re incredibly talented. :)

[@PsychicPsychiatrist]

It’s been my Zen break...watching ur Video....awesome skills and I love the combination of Posca n Copic...so inspired!!

Thank you for the support!! :) Wow nice!! I've heard a lot of good things about Ohuhu markers - definitely want to give them a try someday. Wishing you lots of support with your artwork!!

Ur style is so.perfect i like to watch your drawings

[@0ArmoredSoul0]

Such a beautiful end result! If you do end up using a protective finish, there's a lot of options to be had, and from my personal experience, using something like a matte acrylic spray top coat would probably be your best best in minimizing damage that could happen when applying the protective finish to the piece. Matte will prevent shine from distracting from the image, and acrylic finishes are often more water based and less solvent, so they won't make paints or markers run. It's something I've used in repainting figurines a few times, and it works pretty well. In any case, best of luck, and I hope your future art endeavors work out well!

[@ameliet8245]

I follow you since several years and with every work I'm still so mesmerized! I hope you're doing well and I hope you never stop to share your amazing work :)

If you wanted to put a clear cover over the cover and sketchbook. You could use clear tape/wrapping tape and place it over the full thing. Giving you an extra layer of protection from moisture also.
