ﾐ☆ Illo Sketchbook Tour | May 2019 - November 2019

[@madderandmadder]

The freckling is apparently a manufacturer error from that particular batch! The creator of this sketchbook responded to a video review of it saying he was super upset by it and had contacted his manufacturer as soon as he found out. He said it should be fixed in the next batch-- which I just received mine today! I assume they did quality testing on it but he said if this problem shows up a second time they'll be switching factories. I don't use watercolour so I can't update you but perhaps that info might help you decide if you want to try it again!

[@tirameowsu]

I wasn't aware that they had come to the conclusion of a bad batch-- that's very good to know! I hope that ended up being the case because it was just a very odd reaction all around 😅 I probably won't be purchasing an illo sketchbook again regardless, but I really appreciate the info! I hope you enjoy your sketchbook, too!

i kind of envy your skill of making all the pages look aesthetically or composition vise very appealing, my sketchbook is just like black marker scribbles, taped in doodles from class and occasionally a colored sketch, possibly because im more of a digital artist and if i sometimes make illustrations in traditional, i take a proper watercolor page i guess lmao.

[@tirameowsu]

thank you so much!!!! sketchbooks are so different from artist to artist,, I think a lot of my desire to make mine visually appealing is because I don't do much art outside of my sketchbook!

This is such a wonderful sketchbook, and I'm definitely going to benefit from your advice about reducing pressure by focusing on the overall spreads. Yours look lovely. And I adore all the ways you've found to add colour and interest. Like those line drawings over a painted flower background. So much inspiration. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@Levongrova]

Wow, I've never felt this way watching any other sketchbook tour video prior to yours. I've been looking for artists that really inspire me, whose art feels more like my liking and what I can look up to and be like "yes this art style I love so much! How can I learn from this person, what do they do in their art that I love so much and how can I take that and create my own art in my own personal way?" I'm absolutely in love with this sketchbook and all the colours! Thank you so much for posting this, when I say this I really mean it, you are my favorite artist ever! ♥️

A very similar brand too to the illo sketchbook is Denik, very similar paper except I’ve never had any issues with freckling and the paper can take a beating. And a plus is their cover are designed by artists they find and they even send some of the profits to different countries to help build schools

[@Ash-ys2ju]

since i use more than 2 pages of me sketchbook a day, a 60 page sketchbook is not much for me. normally go for a 100-150 page one. it lasts the same amount of time as that 60 page. one did for you. IG it just depends on how much you draw.

[@tirameowsu]

oh man that's insane that you go through sketchbooks so fast! I wish I had the energy to make that much artwork ;__;

[@createdtogaze]

I super look forward to your sketchbook tours!! And I love how they get a little longer each time :) ❤️❤️❤️

[@tirameowsu]

thank you so much!!! I've been trying to make my videos a little bit longer but it definitely helps when the sketchbook has so many pages 😂

[@emdove]

The way you work with watercolours and what I assume must be Gouache or acrylics is really inspiring! I’m afraid of my gouache cause it’s seems so unforgiving, but you do it so beautifully that I’m now determined to try as a New Years resolution ♥️ Also: So much Zelda and FMA, I got so happy when I saw Roy and Riza 😭

[@tirameowsu]

thank you so so much!!! gouache is actually quite forgiving -- because you can reactivate it with water, but also layer it opaque like acrylics, its very easy to adjust or fix anything! I am not a fan of acrylics but I have very quickly grown to love gouache. I hope you try the medium! 💖💖

[@laurieavecuno]

*see the top stickers* i love you already

[@markle_sparkle]

I love your art!! Your a lot better at watercolor than me, but that's fine. I don't really care, it's just fun to do. Love your art style btw

[@avivabarkaii]

Ahh despite the supposedly bad “freckling” or what not, all the drawings in here are absolutely amazing and your videos inspire me to keep drawing in my own sketchbook, which happens to be the Illo sketchbook. I have not been having the same issues, but your art is still so amazing with them. 💗❤️✨ love you so much

[@tirameowsu]

thank you so so much for the kind words!! 💖💖💖 I believe the freckling is from a single batch of the illo sketchbook -- so there's a lot of them with freckling out there, but not all of them! thank you again for the kind words, and please keep making art! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@limegecko5673]

Love how colorful this is! And so many illustrations! Also, I thought about it, maybe the freckling comes from areas where you used a rubber before? So the paper might be torn beforehand and freckles.

[@tirameowsu]

thank you thank you!! and while erasing might contribute to the freckling, sadly that is not always the case. some of the freckling I showed in the video was just watercolor swatches, where I hadn't previously drawn on the paper at all ):

[@shiniXIII]

AHHH I'M SO GLAD THIS IS FINALLY UP!!! Your sketchbook is so colorful and I love how nearly all the white space gets used up by the art!! I hope my sketchbooks will one day look as pretty as yours *A* (also omg you went through it so fast! I started mine in July and I think I've only filled like 20 pages..seeing how many pages I have left is incredibly daunting lol). And I love the idea of using a makeshift washi tape tab on your swatch sheet to make it easier to pull out from the pocket; I'm gonna start doing that now :o

[@tirameowsu]

thank you so much!! 💖💕💖💕💖 considering how many pages this sketchbook has, and how much artwork I crammed in here, I'm also very surprised that I finished it so quickly! my next sketchbook has waayy less pages and I'm already almost halfway through it, so its a much different pace there 😂 AND YEAH!! the little washi tape tab is so useful for papers in pockets! I think I did it with a previous sketchbook? I can't remember but its sooo helpful!

You're art is super nice, one problem I've seen with the sketchbook is the paper is smooth so the ink doesn't soak up like it should, so you have to be careful when using markers, at least that's my problem, every time I use my markers the ink smears, so I've noticed you have to be careful with that.

[@miudayson1046]

I was really turned off by the fact that when my sketchbook came and I flipped through it, I noticed that a handful of the pages were sometimes glued together to another page (but only near the part where all the pages connect) and so I always had to rip them apart and it would leave a weird mark. That problem was on the first page and so my first page was messed up :( but in rating this sketchbook, it’s a solid 7/10 just because I like how the paper is thick and VERY smooth. I love smooth sketchbook paper because my pencil has a sort of “creamy” look on the paper and I was very happy with that! But I wouldn’t recommend using B pencils too dark on the paper because it will leave a mark on the side next to it (you know, when you close the sketchbook)

[@yorutsumetai]

I’m fairly certain that sketchbook is not mixed media. It seems to be for dry medium and ink, but not marker nor water.

[@tirameowsu]

illo's website specifically says "great for all drawing mediums" on the description of the sketchbook itself, although I agree that its not really a mixed media sketchbook since the paper is so thin

[@yorutsumetai]

tirameowsu True. I just noticed a lot of people have been disappointed that it doesn’t handle watercolor well (anymore; I suppose it did once?). They are either having issues, or they’ll have to change their description a bit.

[@tirameowsu]

@@yorutsumetai I had someone else comment on this video saying that this batch's sketchbooks supposedly had a manufacturing defect, hence the freckling and other small weird occurances in using watercolors. supposedly that is fixed with the most recent batch? but I'm not sure of that myself. I know thinner papers don't handle watercolor well, and all things considered, I'm impressed with how much water with paper took, but the inconsistencies really threw me off so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@yorutsumetai]

tirameowsu I feel you did well and it performed really well over all, despite that. I just had the thought that that might be the problem, but now I’m not so sure. I also hope I didn’t come across as rude. Are you going to try the other batch, or was this sketchbook just not for you?

[@tirameowsu]

@@yorutsumetai well thank you! if the paper had consistently freckled and acted strange I would've assumed the paper just wasn't meant to handle wet mediums, but since it was only about half of the time, it became frustrating after a while. and no worries, you didn't come across as rude at all! if I ever try out another illo sketchbook, it probably won't be for a while. I prefer sketchbooks with heavier and textured paper. maybe in the future I'll give it another shot!

i know you werent asking me but- if you are looking into markers, ohuhu brush markers are amazing i would reccomend the 48 set because it is cheaper and includes a good variety! Once you get a little better with alcohol markers the hobby lobby brand Masters touch markers are incredible!! (Almost as good as copics in my opinion) Where i live they are half off every other week! Watercolors- Koi watercolors 12 set is inexpensive and good quality for beginners. Personally i love the water color brushes with a compartment for water. fineliners- you will want something water proof like a small set of microns. sketchbook- illo is the BEST! but you can make awesome art with anything i started with canson xl mix media paper. the supplies dont make the artist though!! ❤️

copics do bleed! every time I used them in this sketchbook, they bled to the other side. a lot of my color in this sketchbook is watercolors or water based pens 😊
