[@Bebo18]

Most of your drawings connect to make a story. It's very interesting.

[@Mayannaise4]

with the trees mostly being the same style, i felt like it was almost like all of the drawings were in the same place in that forest

[@flabbergasted6231]

You should do a children's book. Or animated movie with this type of drawing.

[@pisim4678]

Could be called “Drawn in Time”

[@AndrewsUniverse]

That was an amazing sketchbook! Great style.

[@yupperz00]

I would buy this book lol. I know it's not for sale but gosh, these pieces are just absolutely stunning & I can't believe you did them all in the course of 31 days! Keep up the great work, much love. :)

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you, Lanaye!! :) It was a tough challenge, but I had a huge amount of fun.

[@iamshadmirza]

[@madzwrld]

All of the art is gorgeous! The drawings look like they could go into some kind of fantastic story. ♡

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much!! That means a lot. :)

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you!! Ahhh that's crazy. Good luck with your exams!! Hope you're having an awesome day, too. :)

[@ginasartcorner5686]

Beautiful sketchbook, I need to work on more backgrounds in my drawings lol. There's so much depth in your art, it's just wonderful.

[@amhdiycrafts2945]

This sketchbook was so good, I just shook my head.

[@seanking4351]

I definitely took part in InkTober!! I watched everyone draw amazing art while I looked at my sorry excuses for good drawings in my sad sketchbook! 😀😆 What a great month that was!!

[@melisabunjaku9652]

Im very happy i found this channel if i wouldn't i i would never know what inspiration is!keep up the great work and i cant wait for your 1,000,000 subs😊

[@bluejay_jay7534]

I imagine all these drawing taking place in one giant forest simultaneously. All these different characters and creatures experiencing completely different scenarios at the same time. Such a beautiful book!! Your work is genuinely inspirational!

[@hannsvii]

I love the cold almost eerie feeling a lot of the drawing in this book give me.

[@ethanvercellono4668]

Chris!!! Man, you've gotta draw stuff like this instead of anime characters and stuff- this is so awesome!

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much, Ethan!!

[@MagicalBevanna]

New sub, been an artist for a long time. I really enjoyed looking and watching other artists. Thanks for sharing your inktober journey. I liked all your drawings, especially the pieces you named lost, dragon and your cats, I have cats too, and love drawing them. 👍😊

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I had so much fun working on this sketchbook and definitely want to work on more drawings like this soon. Cats are awesome! :)

[@makolabs5128]

I've watched this Video for getting miself motivated fot this years inktober - and the thing I really love is the connection between each picture. It doesnt feel like separated pictures with different themes. Feels more like a whole forest from different perspectives. Hope to see your results this year again

[@Craftypumpkin1]

You are such an inspiration, I loved looking through your book, you are an Amazing artist, Thank you for sharing.😎

[@jennygholson33]

Nice sketchbook tour dude!:)

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks, Jenny! :)

[@louisehansen9550]

I really love your drawing style =)

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Louise. :)

[@UNOSEEUM]

you can really see how much you grew in your drawings and creativity from this book to the inktober 2019.

[@sleepisntathingiknow1043]

All of these drawings are absolutely amazing! The toned paper shows off the highlights wonderfully and it contributes to every aspect of each piece! They're all just beautiful

[@mishelly]

Nice work! i love the color scheme its different from others i have seen. I love the one with the trees as well. from the beginning. A few of my favorites are the pumpkins, and the monster in the cave!!! I can imagine some of your work in a children's book. i look forward to seeing more of your videos

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much, Michelle! :) It means a lot to read this. I really want to work on some more of these drawings soon.

[@whalewil3135]

Michelle Borden different color scheme? like black and white? Ain't that like all of them? Hahaha (no hate btw)

[@mishelly]

WhaleWil ! well ive been watching watercolor, and oil paintings.

[@whalewil3135]

Michelle Borden oh like a diffrent tool scheme sorry hahaha

[@mishelly]

no worries

[@SanjaBooks]

I'm really shocked about everything I don't recognize the last years. this year i learned many about the National Novel Writing Month November and now 20 minutes ago i realized that inktober is a very cool event and now i want to join in yet. Obviously i'm not good at drawing pictures like you but there is a big motivation to try. Hope you try next year again and now watching all other videos from your channel. Greats, Anja

[@MeowMeowChickenSandwich]

I gotta say... your style for drawing trees is one of the best i've ever seen.

[@samanthamcandrew181]

Your work is absolutely beautiful and stunning! I can only hope to ever have half of your skill some day. Never stop drawing!!!

[@norbiekawiak2999]

I like to imagine that this little character is on a adventure

[@palestblue]

Woooow, this is so cool!! Such an inspiration

[@tashagibbons8023]

It was fun imagining all the characters living in the same forrest. I love the style.

[@myrkflinn4331]

You almost told a story with this sketchbook, everything seems to be fitting quite perfectly together as a sequence. It gives a peaceful vibe, and the feeling you're drawn to a beautiful forest with a whimsical story.

[@raymondkizer2805]

I see youtubers that draw like you with a million subscribers but I don't understand why u don't your so amazing u deserve more attention than you get I really want to see you grow me and my gf love your work

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the extremely kind support, Raymond!! I really hope the channel continues to grow. I love working on these drawings and always look forward to uploading new videos. :) Hope you're having an awesome day.

[@mina2750]

This is such an amazing style for drawing .I am so inspired I love it 😍😍😍❤️

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you, Mina! :)

[@edgarkjellberg6332]

I like the atmosphere, which is presented in your sketches. Though there are shown a cold and snowy lands, but they still emit heat, which warms my soul.

[@ninjacatnc4871]

these are amazing and I love how you keep going back to landscapes and animals and using the moon to highlight creatures and nature in the night. the 8th, 22nd, 26th, and 30th days were my favorite.

[@jackpurchase45]

fantastic work Chris!!! for fan art Friday I think you should draw an image from the new beauty and the beast movie.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you very much!! :) Awesome idea.

[@jackpurchase45]

I was wondering, in your everyday life such as work do you draw and do all these types of art pieces??

[@buud7947]

Hey Chris! I know I'm a little late but can you list out your supplies, like which pens and also where did you get that sketchbook it's awesome :D!

[@ellyettepaige]

Buud The Video Maker It's all listed in the description and in the beginning of the video he shows the tools and explains each one.

[@linaj9976]

Do you ever consider collaborating with @markcrilley

[@mykah5266]

That would literally be the best thing ever oml

[@ngisch9558]

This is beautiful. Looking at all the night ones makes me feel at ease, there's so much soul in them.

[@polinaossipova3407]

I'm in love with your drawings and your smooth calming voice. Makes overall such an enjoyable video to watch late at night, sipping tea, curled up in blankets.

[@dagrosafinearts]

Nice work! This was my first Inktober as well. I didn't finish this year, but I learned a lot and had fun nonetheless. I look forward to next year.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much. :) Glad to hear you took part as well! It's a great challenge.

[@jarodkrupp9224]

You have a new subscriber, and this video definitely makes it on my top three favorite KZbin videos!!😁

[@danielevalt345]

It's been a decade and a half since I picked up a sketchbook. I forgotten how much I liked doing it. Your videos are inspiring and educational.

[@felix_the_feline6664]

You can really see the emotion in your art. I live it. This is the best inktober i have ever seen.

[@Andi-tx8xy]

Hey, Inktober sounds really interesting and im looking forward to take part next year. But where do you find the Themes of each Day? Is it a Facebook page?

[@LethalChris1]

Hey! :) I linked the official page in the video description.

[@Andi-tx8xy]

LethalChris Drawing Thanks! 😅

[@lykegenes5867]

It's in the description

[@DriftGD]

Amazing! Congrats on an excellent project over the course of the entire month, that's not easy! :)

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much!! It was a tough challenge and I'm so glad I finally gave it a try. :D

[@clairescribner4102]

I was searching for videos to help me get excited about Inktober 2017 and stumbled upon this video. I really enjoyed it, especially seeing how you used the tan paper. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@dodidoodles2297]

this is really fantastic. i love how you use up the entire page in your drawings. really remarkable work taking on the word prompt each day and coming up with such unique ideas.

[@weirdoll_dawn]

wow this is briliant

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you!! :)

[@zane8938]

All of your drawings were really creative. I honestly wouldn't think of a squirrel for collecting XD

[@hannahh.]

I would, and a bear. Or maybe a raven.

[@zane8938]

Hannah H. Oh

[@graciegh0ul]

Hannah H. I agree with the raven thing... Vinyl pop figures, Albums, markers, posters, band merch, coloured pencils... ;) XD

[@mariandr2000]

I like your imagination, the images you get from the prompts are quiet unexpected and actually each one has a plot within it

[@honeybee2357]

I remember being all relaxed and then you flipped to the next page with the demon in the chest and I honestly like silently freaked out.

[@PsychoticPillowCase]

I didn't even know you could do shading with ink haha. nice work, your drawings were interesting.

[@CK-lj8uf]

I found out about inktober at the end if the month 😂

[@sanaraheem5000]

Soo good . My favourite was the one in which the guy is walking between the trees . Gave a chill

[@shaddde0251]

Watching you draw has brought back my creative need to draw and create beautiful drawings to show off and give other people ideas to share

[@han-bl3il]

[@ColonelYikes]

I love that your drawing always take place at night, it is really beautiful

[@MsQuinn-cv1pi]

Please tell me you illustrate. Gorgeous work. I could definitely see these as pictures in a picture story book.

[@drewm-r7249]

The box one is totally a mimic from Dark Souls

[@SagaTheHedgehog]

The mood in these drawings is so nice I love it

[@calypso7529]

Your style is so simple yet so complicated! Absolutely outstanding.

[@Ri-fj7su]

I would love to see more you work on more wolves :D love the inktober sketchbook it's amazing. what sketchbook did you use?

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much!! :D I used a Daler Rowney Earthbound sketchbook.

[@donanzy1274]

Hey Chris I was just wondering what you used to get the fog effect in some of you drawings?

[@LethalChris1]

Hi Jude! It was a mixture of blending the Copic markers and using a white Prismacolor pencil.

[@dabird2120]

I love how all of your drawings tells a story!

[@chuctanundaspiderbone5407]

Thank you for sharing your project. I learned quite a lot. Your drawing style is distinctive. I think you are also a story teller. My favorite is the leaf texture. Truly amazing.

[@mikeschwarz7439]

hi Chris this is so a beautyful Sketch Book hugs Ellen

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you!! :)

[@sterrerietveld2425]

Cool drawing😁

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks!! :)

[@MrAldoesminecraft]

Your style has given me some inspiration, it reminds me almost of a children's book with a darker undertone. The stylization just works so well with the rest of it and expanding on this style is an awesome idea.

[@sfcdelprado1483]

You shouldn't dislike this because you shouldn't think that this is ugly, everything you draw is art. Even if you think your drawing is ugly, it's still art no matter what. Have a nice day everybody :D

[@jamsandwich7316]

You are so good

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much!!

[@f5football750]

[@custardcosplays902]

Your art has so much character and story to them. It's wonderful. You are so skilled

[@Noto.]

Its amazing these drawings, from a style and experimental standpoint, but its so astounding how vohesive they all are. Its so inspiring...

[@Warm_Ice0]

How do you join the Inktober Challenge?

[@Warm_Ice0]

Plus, who would dislike this?!! (ò_óˇ)

[@DankWaterArk]

Inktober is a yearly challenge that happens throughout the month of October. Sadly, you missed it this year, but there's always the next! To join in with Inktober, all you need to do is a drawing each day in ink, and post it online with the hashtag #Inktober. It's really fun, and I recommend Instagram for sharing your art.

[@Warm_Ice0]

FishPickle thanks!

[@thebloodstorm916]

[@origershonowitz2156]

what type of markers would you recommend for a beginner?

[@kiahhuffman208]

Ori Gershonowitz also wondering this

[@sorcha4393]

Ori Gershonowitz personally prismacolors because they're a cheap alternative to copics

[@origershonowitz2156]

Sorcha Power thanks I'll try

[@kalibfrederick2380]

I use perma

[@hannahh.]

+Sorcha Power I wouldn't say 'cheap' alternative, more of 'cheaper'.
