[@fastfeet31]

Man you sketch the coolest space ships, and the wildest characters Jake been a fan of your work for many years. All the best to you in 2016 Lou

[@bowen_90]

Good to see you're still going strong and back with more videos!

[@elyxandra]

Great to see a new video from you! I love seeing artists' sketchbooks - thank you for sharing with us!

[@robturpin]

Hi Jake, thanks for posting this. Great to see your sketchbooks as always. You kind of touch on that balance you need to have with sketchbooks - between them being full of good, considered work, and of being chock full of ideas, concepts and prompts. It's something I struggle with a lot, but battling away. Thanks again. Rob

[@inbetween7328]

oh my goodness I adore the underwater monster spread!!! Your ink style is so cool :)

[@careybowden4864]

Thanks for the great video! I love seeing the sketchbook +commentary. And your Japanese Drone Racer totally reminded me of Speed Racer's Mach 5!

[@DEKeeble]

Awesome stuff Jake. Always inspiring to see your stuff. Your sketchbooks remind me to loosen up and relax!

[@JoshAshConceptArt]

Awesome, I always get excited when I see a new video of yours up! Very great and inspiring sketchbook!

[@TomMasonSculptor]

Thanks for sharing another sketchbook video. It's always great and inspiring to see what you're working on. Can't wait for Drawings III!

[@TH3RTYSE7N]

Great stuff Jake. Would love to see more of your star wars story. Keep it up.

[@jonanjello]

Your work is awesome, Jake. You're an inspiration to me!

[@brandeeteshina]

I hope one day to draw like jake

[@dylanjamesferreira5564]

Definitely want to see more of this

[@JacopoMoruzzi]

Awesome sketchbook Jake! The drone racer reminded me of Toriyama's illustrations of mechas and robots!

[@t.j.johnsonthewriter]

Can you do more of those videos of you drawing real-time with answers to questions?

[@EllieJayBird]

“I was in a weird mood that day.” Can relate as an artist.

[@chiparooo]

Thanks for sharing! Love looking at sketchbooks.

[@sephiroth7933]

I love your work bro!! Well done!

[@ForFishingStars]

excellent stuff as always! like you I love seeing other people's thought process in their sketchbooks, for this one I especially love all the loose little sketches. You constantly inspire me thank you so much for sharing! :D

[@mumin.10969]

Hi Jake! I've been following you on instagram for a long time and I'm participating in inktober this year for the first time! I love your artwork and I'm studying art right now to do the amazing things you do in my future. Thank you for the videos! They really help me and I always come to watch them when I have a bad day or am losing motivation... I always remember the advice you give in your videos when I draw and I really really appreciate it. Please keep drawing always and I'm always excited to see everything you do!

[@GlennUrieta]

Great video! Thanks for retweeting my art drop as well. Someone scooped it up! Fun times. You should come out to NYCC! Kind of short notice for 2015 but there's always next year. Special Edition in NYC is also a laugh.

[@jakeparker44]

+Glenn Urieta I almost came this year. I got approved for artist alley, I just decided my Oct was going to be busy enough so I bowed out. Next year!

[@gwynbleidd2874]

Tienes un talento envidiable.... fantástico!

[@sed840]

Great video, it's encouraging to know even the best artist's have slow art days

[@Wyattoons]

Not sure if you caught it, but it looks like someone at Marvel liked your Hutt idea (or maybe had a similar idea). They introduced a new Hutt with centipede-like robot legs that help him move around. I saw it and immediately thought "Jake Parker"!

[@jakeparker44]

+Wyatt The Nerd Yeah, I saw that. AND there was a rancor-like monster with a cyborg arm, another idea of mine. But here's the thing: A) Are the ideas REALLY that original? Are they something that could be thought of by two creative minds thinking about the same property? Pretty much. B) Let's say they're surfing the internet looking for ideas for "inspiration." That's cool, because all is fair in the world of fan art. If on the one hand I'm selling a ton of prints I drew with Marvel characters, I can't get upset if on the other hand they take ideas of mine from some fan art I drew and use them for their comics. It's all good. And kind of cool. I like to think I had a little influence on the guys making star wars stuff. But in reality, I just think it's coincidence.

[@Wyattoons]

+Jake Parker Oh yeah, coincidental thinking happens from time to time. Didn't mean to sound like I was accusing them of ripping you off. It may have been just coincidental thinking, but I too like to think you had an influence so in my mind that's a Jake Parker style story. :)

[@MarshMakesComics]

I LOVE the donkey unicorn!!!! Please please please make a comic or something of him!!! So rare to see anything resembling original ideas from anyone and that my friend us one of them!!!!

[@allluckyseven]

New video, yay! I've been missing these so much, so thank you, thank you, thank you for making it! And it's got your sketchbook drawings, so it's extra special for me! xD I completely forgot your sketchbooks had such thin pages... I had the impression you only drew on heavier, thicker paper! I love those drone bikes. So cool. And your kid seems to draw pretty well for his age. Oh, and I can't help but see little heads on the unicorns snouts! haha!

[@AndresCanan]

5:28 "There is my dougther as a zombie" XD Loved that!

[@paulmckinney6535]

lol "I was in an idea rut"....and here I am doing stick figures that look bad. Love your work Jake and the videos. Thank you for showing these.

[@anthonyelliott2280]

great video jake! Greetings from england,i do my own fantasy artwork on intuos pro in sketchbook pro 6 i really like creature design and also draw in sketchbooks as well, so would love to see you draw more creature design stuff or a video on using computer art wear.keep up the good work jake and look forward to your next video!!!

[@bukostudios]

Awesome trip into your sketchbook! Immensely Inspiring!

[@Isaarne]

thanks for sharing ! Its really interesting, and a good inspiration. I am really into that Hutt with robot leg idea, I kinda wanna see it in the movies now ! like how does it walk ? lol star wars designers need to see it !

[@crashbomber]

I would love it if you came to Wizard World Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Comic Con, or the Steel City Con! You rule, man.

[@kilerden]

I need to sketch more..

[@Flyingroadkilz]

that zombie T-rex was AWESOME!!!

[@Zapacoco]

I love your drawings, youre amazing

[@manuelsanchez8077]

Hey Jake, barely saw this and noticed the Jabba with robot legs. You said they should do it and they have. I can't remember who it is, but there's a Hutt with robot legs in the comics, and he's jacked up too. I'm pretty sure it's in the main Star Wars title over at Marvel, so go check it out. Love your sketchbook!

[@jakeparker44]

Haha yeah, I just got issue 9, and he's in there.

[@bretg505]

Another great video! P.S. I'd like to see what a drone racer would look like while it's racing.

[@jorgeluishuertamastache8715]

Muy buenos diseños Mr Jake Parker

[@VizardnVongola]

Great video as always!. I think I'd like to see a video on how not to get distracted/ procrastinate or what to do when you have so many ideas and your trying to commit to them all and then end up committing to none aha.

[@jakeparker44]

+VizardnVongola I'd actually like to see a video on that! It's something I struggle with too, so maybe I should just talk about that.

[@VizardnVongola]

+Jake Parker Ye, i find the procrastination always leads down a path of not doing the work and the continuous stopping and starting just makes it look worse (at least for me)

[@brotheryeti]

I'm not sure this is something you can do a video on, but I like to see a video on shadows and heavy blacks. I love Mignola's work, but I can figure out how he does it. Also would you ever do a print of the #8 drone? That drawing means a lot to me and I'd love a chance to buy a print.

[@jorgevertti7768]

amazing video like always!!! I wondering If someday you can talk about how to scan properly a drawing, I just bought a scanner and I would like to scan my drawings the best way posible. thanks for all the videos I am big fan of yours !!!!

[@pascalandersson6704]

Love that hut sketch!

[@Dunne147]

Definitely hoping to see you again at the Denver Comic Con if you end up being able to make it. You should try to go to C2E2 in Chicago also if you can sometime, I'm going to that one too

[@DwayneVance]

Super cool stuff Jake

[@azalea1404]

BTW, why do you not use graphite when sketching before inking? It seems like you mostly use orange or light blue colored pencils instead (and they are quite difficult to see on the screen)? Is there any drawing technical advantages by doing so?

[@MarkArandjus]

Apologize for nothing, Jake, we're privileged to have your vids!

[@BlazetheStarKnight]

19:40 you had a teardrop type floating vessel. I saw it and instantly thought you'd done a more warship version of the pods they lived on Oban from Oban Star Racers intentionally! Then you said you'd just been running out of steam not saying it was inspired from anything and all i could think was, "It's literally the exact same!!!"

[@RhyderSpyderGaming]

I'd love to see you come out to Australia some time! Oz Comic-Con or something would be a great excuse :P

[@blazehound08]

Super inspired now, thanks a ton!

[@oceangirl909]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Your monsters!

[@latenate5904]

+Jakeparker hi jake i am a 11 year old and i wanted to start a art career how can i buiid my portfolio. thanks, nate

[@jakeparker44]

Learn how to draw people proficiently, then learn how to draw them in believable environments.

[@owingsart]

Nice work Jake.

[@bmkorkut]

Great work as usual, yay! Are you considering a reprint for the first Drawings book during the third one?

[@jakeparker44]

+Barış Korkut I am!

[@bmkorkut]

+Jake Parker I am so happy now :D

[@FinnBelknap]

I would love for you to come to c2e2 it may be to late now but maybe next year?

[@dboyce256]

heard about you from baylee Jay like ur work a lot!!

[@PhantomDrawing]

Awesome video!

[@Popcorn_ART]

9:48 the drawing of house is so small. it is like size of his thumb

[@bigkahunaburger1092]

Very great art

[@Artxibald]

Fantastic work my friend, Greetings from Spain ;)

[@wastelandcartoonist2823]

I was wondering for a next video, How to make something look mechanical? as in add a look to anything and it will look like a machine or a robotic device? Would help alot Jake! Thanks.

[@thegingerhermit]

this is just my random opinion, but try adding plating. Find the volume of the forms and use the contour lines to make plating.

[@wastelandcartoonist2823]

Thank you!

[@berntkat]

I would love to get the chance to talk to you at Emerald City. I didnt realize you were there last year so I'll make sure to take some time away from my booth to come say hi! I'd also really reallyy reallllyyy love for you to do a video on the sea life ships! They're all so cute. I did a similar thing with a manta ray idea years and years ago. Seeing your stuff makes me wanna revisit that idea

[@TwoTailedSponge]

I don't know if we get asked this often, but one, do you use both sides of your sketchbooks paper, if not ,do you plan on selling your sketch books?

[@imlmartinez32]

Loved the vid!

[@TheFirstCyberNinja]

So Jake, I've found your channel very recently and watched some videos and I believe you have more than enough experience to be able to help me out, the thing is, lately I have been feeling that I'm stuck, like I always come up with ideas of things to draw but I just don't have the skill to portray them the way I imagine them, so I have to practice right? But, when I practice, I feel very little (if any) progress has been done, no matter how much I follow a tutorial/lesson, and that makes me feel like this whole art thing isn't really my thing, like no matter how much I practice I'll never be good enough to draw what I want the way I want, so I'm not really sure where I should go from here, like, what do I need to do to get out of this situation?

[@dominiquegissendanner9284]

cool video 😁 could you do a video on laying out a graphic novel page or and creating environment design plz ur thanks for continuing to make videos

[@RSidd]

I looove Zombie Dragons!

[@Mr00001jon]

This stuff is looking great jake - and I can't wait until drawings 3. Wish it was gonna be out sooner honestly lol How come this video only has 360p quality on it though? Your stuff is usually uploaded at a higher resolution.

[@jakeparker44]

+Mr00001jon I think it's up there now. I uploaded it at 1080p. Sometimes right after the upload it just shows the 360p until it's done processing it all.

[@t.j.johnsonthewriter]

Are the sketch books you use A4 or A5? They look A4, am I correct. And could you drop me a link where I can get one, I remember having one like it and then moving onto tin bound ones.

[@merthatipoglu5258]

whic pen do you use

[@pennilessvoiceactor9054]

Hi Jake . You asked in this vid for suggestions of conventions to go to. We have a couple of conventions in NZ. Have you ever thought of come on over to our little country? :) They are called Armageddon

[@soyun.unicornio]

The donkeycorns cracked me up! XD

[@mr6r4y]

Hi Jake, I'm curious what kind of marker do you use on this kind of paper?

[@Popcorn_ART]

8:42 are you sure those are simple

[@hugoltdo]

Nice video Jake.Keep up the good work ! =]

[@tonyherring7382]

+jake parker what job do you have and i need some tips i have been doing art videos myself. i have been inspired by you and steve harpster thanks, tony herring

[@jakeparker44]

+Tony Herring I work as an illustrator and cartoonist. I illustrate picture books, and I draw comics, and from time to time I also teach people how to do those things, too. My advice is to get good at drawing anything and everything. If you can draw well, there's a lot of opportunity out there for you.

[@davindersinghcheema910]

why do you draw with blue or red pencils

[@edenwhytte646]

they are good mediums to start with. Prismacolor is highly suggested. anyway, it is nice because you can have a messy start but soon layer it with a clean one. the colors are also nice because i usually cant color on normal pencils because they sort of shine a lot.

[@feralart9325]

Could u do some builds of robots or human bodys

[@alexrechkin7]

can't find that dude from instagram, can someone provide link please~

[@steevo1214]

STARWARS DUDE.....More cool space stuff...maybe alien Jedi

[@azalea1404]

Don't feel bad about not publ. videos so frequently. We all know you are a busy self employed artist, so we don't expect you to publish new stuff on KZbin every week. There are plenty other videos to see, so don't stress about it.

[@CGemini]

YOU LIVE IN UTAH! I LIVE IN UTAH!

[@carrieamoreno]

Yay! :D

[@ladyamalthia7688]

nice

[@igorlukin177]

Хорошие скетчи :)

[@willygrags4367]

Why your face so shiny?

[@jakeparker44]

bad lighting?

[@willygrags4367]

Jake Parker I love your art man, your a huge inspiration.

[@drigodamus]
