INKTOBER SKETCHBOOK TOUR 2018

[@LethalChris1]

Hi everyone! Here's my Inktober 2018 sketchbook tour! Really happy to say that I completed the challenge for the third year in a row! It was a difficult challenge, but I definitely feel like it pushed me to learn some new drawing techniques that I can apply to my future work. Be sure to let me know what you think of my Inktober drawings! And also let me know if you also took part in the challenge. Thank you so much for the amazing amount of support! Hope you're having an awesome day! :) -Chris

[@alexjacobs192]

This is amazing

[@daleweber2579]

Those are a great good job. I have one question where you listening to Gojira's Flying Whales for the "Whale" day sketch?

[@thebige4113]

Nice job. Do you think for your next drawing you can do Stan Lee in remembrance of him. That’d be awesome!👍🏻 Keep up the great work.

[@snakedaemon1257]

I didn't take part in inktober but I did use a glass dip pen for the first time and I boardcast the full video, well 3 parts as a career I had to drop the drawing a few times

Hi Chris, I enjoyed "looking" through your Inktober sketchbook. You did some awesome drawings during the challenge. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite, but I did like how the crow/snail turned out and the little mouse sleeping on the mushroom. The Evil pumpkin is great too, but as you had a video on that one I had a "oh, I remember that one" reaction. Thanks for sharing. Amazing you had time to create all of these drawings and still post some great art for your channel! Brenda

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Brenda. :) I really appreciate it.

[@Maker_Bakery]

Absolutely stunning work. RIP Charlie. That's a beautiful homage to a beloved pet. Can't wait to see this years walk through!

[@hayley4155]

It was great to see how you interpreted each prompt. Your drawings are all amazing, and thanks for sharing them all together like this.

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Hayley. :)

[@ShineBrida]

The one with the kitty looking off into the stars mourning his brother is so emotional.

[@ehmo8706]

I definitely loved the sketchbook!! And the cat looking at the star touched me. It was like cat missing his brother and the star being him shinning up on the sky. Always nice seeing your artwork Chris.👌👌

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the support. :)

[@VampireCatx3]

i'am speachles, you really got a new fan. your art is amazing, i got tears because of the story of you cats,( i have two cats, brothers)

[@ameliareid2357]

This video makes me so happy. It sounds strange, but, you can hear the passion for art in your voice, and your work shows it. You’re so incredibly talented.

The cat one is so touching, especially since I know how it feels to be recovering from kitty you loved ❤️ Beautiful art and relaxing video.

[@juliaschneeflocke9208]

You are the Bob Ross of inktober. I could listen to you forever

[@eineButter]

My birthday is on 08.10, on the easter holydays 2018 our black cat died so this day was my first birthday without her. This fact, related with the pictur from this day, made me cry

[@alphabetsandmore8000]

I watched your Inktober Sketchbook 22 and I can see the how the depth of each illustration is so much stronger. Your art is wonderful. Your explanations are so powerful. I will be back.

[@laurelruskoski6026]

My favorite is the frog, but all around I just love the way you do highlights it makes everything so bold and makes a really strong impression with every piece.

[@danamaxineyandt980]

I loved the creative variety exhibited inside your sketchbook. It was a real page-turner where I couldn’t wait to see how you interpreted the next prompt.

[@jusoart7101]

I love your style😍 And we definitely used the same reference for the drawing of the whale😅😂

[@bakotademon5543]

wow wow wooooooow, really i'm in "LOVE" with ur details, techniques and coloring...everything is perfect... to me one drawing takes 1 year to finished lol, all my "LOVE" to u artist :)

[@askthefrog]

I tried Inktober for the first time this year. I only got to day 18 but I'm still proud and I've grown as an artist. But here's something funny: I also drew a roasted marshmallow on a stick, only I had flames instead of smoke. I also drew a creepy grandfather's clock, only I included a cat, a ghost and a little reaper. But the weirdest thing is that I also drew a puffer fish on "Swollen". I did end up just drawing a bottle on "Bottle", but on my thumbnail I drew a ship in a bottle 😄 You're one of my favorite artists on KZbin and I think it's cool that we did similar drawings. Mine isn't nearly as good though!

[@ciaraneastwood]

I find your heavy use of white ink or pencil in your work intriguing and beautiful, your art style has a lot of finesse and grace. Amazing

[@Virpukka]

I really like the whole sketchbook but for me personally that little mouse was something special. I really really love that one.

[@pommedeter7407]

Every time you turn the page, i'm thinking "this one will be my favourite" amazing art !

[@achanoleee3775]

the puffer fish is also the cutest thing I've ever seen someone draw!

[@rosepeterson6626]

Oh my goodness are these drawings BEAUTIFUL, 10/10 work ! For the first day of inktober I also did a poisonous dart frog 🐸

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Rose!! :) Awesome!

[@spitfuzzy7826]

this is the first time I watched an inktober series and had you say how much you loved how your drawings turned out. You even wanted to give some of your pictures another go with a bigger paper. I liked every picture and it really shows that you like those drawings too. Much more then your previous two years doing inktober.

[@gerryjohnson294]

When you got to day 31 I wished there were more days in the month. Fabulous!

[@KittiesnCrochets]

I just have to say that your Inktober sketchbooks are my one of my big favourites from you. I really got teary eyed over the cat drawing youve done. I also had recently lost my cat of 9 years. Its truely hard to loose a loving pet, and I understand the struggle. Your art is just beautiful in everything you do, from concepts to shading to highlighting, EVERYTHING! I just wanted to say im so proud of you for coming this far on your art journey. I hope to see you grow more and more in the future

[@ellielauren5079]

I really hated my sketchbook but took it into school and I was drawing in art club. My favourite teacher (she’s an art teacher btw) came up to me and looked through it and she said my drawings were gorgeous and it really motivated me and made me want to start drawing a lot more. You are also one of the reasons I love drawing, you are so good and I don’t come anywhere near how amazing you are!😫💓

[@CrankyPantss]

I've been following your Inktober drawings on Instagram every day, but I really enjoyed seeing the collection all at once. They were all great. My favorites were the chicken and the star one, where Charlie's dear brother was looking out in the stars for him. I'm sure you all miss Charlie very much. You did a great job with Inktober, Chris. Thanks for sharing the collection with us, along with your thoughts about each. I enjoyed it.

[@veronicahodges4540]

Moons are my favourite. All the drawings are great. Well done. Might have to try this Inktober this year.

[@SwitchfootRocksUrBut]

Amazing as always! I love how you always incorporate lighting from the moon in your inktober drawings. It’s so nice

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you very much! :)

These inktober drawings were awesome this year Chris. Please do more art like the polygonal stag.

[@palestblue]

Absolutely incredible. They all look so incredibly three dimensional and your linework is just incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome work!

[@pebblesthecat3625]

You have my sincere and heartfelt condolences at the loss of your furry family member. I hope his passage over the rainbow bridge was peaceful and quick.

[@acanadian4097]

Does anyone else try really hard to get better then watch videos like these and shatter your dreams. Why do I do this to myself!!

[@simonus5039]

This years Inktober will from now always be in my mind as the Inktober of Moon Forests. The drawings all looked pretty cool!

[@ceilingfen9878]

My condolences for your cat, it is hard at first but it will get better. I lost my dog three years ago and it still hurts. I love your inktober sketches they are very beautiful

[@maviyesil649]

I tried inktober too but for the first time. Really fun and you learn from it. I survived my inktober2018

[@fleredisstrackstak8432]

The way you make the white shine through like that is amazing!

My favorite two drawings were the clock and double moons, but all of them were truly remarkable. You are very inspiring.

[@Rojo731]

Creatures are your specialty. Beautifully done.

[@thetruthgodcountry5052]

Easily one of the best sketchbooks I have ever seen. I just purchased my first gray-scale toned paper SketchBook and you have given me a lot of really good ideas. You should be a professional illustrator if you're not there is something wrong

[@Gutsu_]

You are such an inspiration to me and I'm sure thousands of others. It's clear how much hard work you put into each and every one of these drawings. Love every single one of them and I've actually learned a lot as an artist just from watching you. wish nothing but the best for you and can't wait to see more of your work!

[@13samikaze]

well worth the wait. the poison frog and the axe in the tree stump are my favorites .

[@bramschiebroek1413]

Your work is one of a kind! You're so good at realism and coloring and i love everything you do! sorry for your cat by the way..

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much, Bram. :)

[@WhimsyForrest_Art]

I loooooove how creative this is your style is very unique and you can see how your mind grew more out of the box as you progressed

[@beautyvsdeath]

I'm being completely honest when I say this- This is the best inktober "tour" I have seen this year. Your style and highlight choices are absolutely amazing. I did the same thing for angular and swollen so I thought that was funny! Your drawings are where I'm trying to be. You did an incredible job and you have amazing talent!

[@tinao7551]

It’s so cool seeing all these different depictions of art in each sketchbook

[@moth1685]

Awesome sketches, I personally didn't participate in Inktober but I love seeing other people's art

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much! :)

[@absolutely_fabulous891]

There was a HEDGEHOG under your desk! That's the CUTEST thing I've EVER heard!! 😂😂🥰

[@toteZitrone]

OK, I only watched until minute 5, but I just had to pause it for commenting. This is the first video I see from you and I am absolutely amazed by your art style. I totally love how sleek jet very shiny with the soft dark shadows and the bright white edges all of this pieces look. I don't know whether it was for purpose, but I love those patterns that come up in the Sketchbook, like how the first three scenes somehow seem tot ell a story of a frog sitting near the lake and then someone roasting it's marshmallow just nearby, since you can see "the same" wood in the background. Then after that the marshmallow texture appearing on the chicken and so on... Not to mention how awesome you use key colours in the pieces, jet again so beautifully shaded. I am by no means an art expert and can't draw at all on my own, so I don't know how much you care for such comments. But I just felt that I really had to express all those impressions your video gave it just until know, 4:46. Thank you!

[@wuestinesteen907]

Um so I love how your shading and highlights are so clean and simplified. I tend to intimidate myself too much to enjoy the work. Love your bridge, moons, whale, clock, the clouds, oh, and your smoke is supreme! Seriously, I've never even attempted to sketch smoke!!! I've taken 3 years of drawing classes (20 years ago) but thx for sharing. I'm inspired, and love the white ink.. take care

[@kayeherl9195]

I am amazed by your talent. You, sir, are an awesome artist! I loved "chicken" "cruel" "guardian" "drain" and "thunder" especially.

[@mystlady85]

Another great ink tour. Every year your drawings have amazing intricate details in them. Big fan of the landscape drawings, always my favs. Definitely would love to see how you drew that double waterfall or something like it 🙂. I tried to do it this year, just didn’t have time. Only made one drawing and I really didn’t follow any prompts. Went with the flow.

[@LethalChris1]

Thanks so much for the kind words! :) Landscapes are definitely some of my favourite drawings to work on, so it means a lot to hear that. Working on a larger version of the double waterfall drawing for a video would be extremely fun.

[@izj-19]

This is AMAZING. What even?!? That marshmallow is incredible! Your style is so beautiful.

[@deidra7612]

It's truly hard to pick a favorite, as they are all incredible! I do however; fancy the ship in the bottle drawing... the idea is fantastic!! I could very easily see you taking that to the next level!! They are all so well thought out and executed😍 You are such a great inspiration for so many both young and old, Chris!! Thank you for sharing all of these beautiful drawings!!!😍😍😍💝💝💝xxx

You'd be a wonderful drawer for book illustrations. If I'd ever write a book, I'd choose just you. Wonderful idyllic pictures. Especially the drawings with the moon.

[@jenteschoof]

Really love this style, with the white inking thingy. Gives the drawings a sharp look but still kinda cartoonish or something. Really like it. :)

[@McJohnArt]

Looks great :D I especially like the sharp contrast on the cat looking up at the star. Maybe I will give the whole Inktober thing a try next year. One of the cool things about your double moon picture is the way that the details are all in the distance, which creates a fun dynamic. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the awesome work!

[@LethalChris1]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Inktober is definitely worth a try!! :D
