Sketchbook Tour January 2020

[@SketchyTrav]

Sorry about the shaky intro, ill fix that in the next vid... : (

[@jeremyvotaw1522]

To answer your question, comics, concept art, fantasy art. Keep doing what you're doing. Love the traditional art vids best. I'm a combat wounded veteran and struggle with PTSD and depression. However, your video has just inspired me to draw again. Nice to see you're back.

[@jeremyvotaw1522]

Artists I enjoy Greg Capullo, Marc Silvestri, Michael Turner, Frank Frazetta and John Buscema

[@SketchyTrav]

jeremy votaw All great artists that I follow as well. Every time I look at Frazetta’s work it makes me want to paint.

[@elijahadkins950]

Ever since I was little, I have been interested in superheroes. It all started with power rangers and the 90s marvel shows. As I got older, i really hit it off with the original xmen and spidey movies. I've always wanted to draw comics since I was young and I finally got serious about drawing around 4th grade. I started making my own characters and I tried learning as much as I could by mostly reading and occassionally watching videos at the time. Now, I constantly do both trying to improve and I'm currently redesigning my OCs and working on my first independent comic for fun. Nothingserious, just something for fun and myself. You are a huge inspiration to me and I appreciate all of the tips you give. I hope you keep posting videos, bcuz I love them and your art! :)

[@SketchyTrav]

Thanks Elijah, That pretty much describes me as well, Although i'm a bit older than you so the inspiration might have been a bit different the goal of getting enough skill to create something awesome is the same.

[@SearchingforBliss908]

Great sketchbook! Your channel was recommend and I am so glad it was. I am new to drawing comic book art but have been drawing for some time now. Looking forward to your next video.

[@SketchyTrav]

Hey thanks! And glad to have you enjoying my videos!

[@joshuataylor81]

I draw and paint in most mediums/media and tattoo. My range is similar to what you do in that I go from realism, comic art etc. I also read comics from time to time. Did a lot more when I was younger. One of my favorites is spawn. Much of Todd McFarland, Greg Cappulo, Angel Medina, Danny Miki, Al Rio, and all of the greats from the past like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby etc have been at the top of my list. A lot of the ones that have come from Heavy Metal I really enjoy too. Boris Vallejo, Frazetta, Ken Kelly, Louis Royo, Jeff Easley, Clyde Caldwell, J. W. Waterhouse, Jean Leon Jerome, and just far too many to mention here I have learned and been inspired by. I have done a couple book covers that were published but circumstances happened and they are no longer out. Soon hopefully things will change yet again in my favor. My two favorite mediums to work with are pen & ink with watercolor and oils. Recently started learning calligraphy. Quite challenging for myself! Lol! Anyway you have amazing work! Really enjoying your sketchbooks. Love your style! I'm a newbie to your channel and I've become addicted! Lol! Keep up the great work, looking forward to watching the rest of your videos and to see new ones come out!

[@leviticus5363]

Hey homie im from philly and I've been a fan of all your art especially your comic book and fantasy art, it motivates me to draw, im not in your level but I love to sketch.

[@juanramonbrazoban2039]

You're great, Travis! 👏👏👏

[@SketchyTrav]

Thanks!

[@PumpkinPails]

Welcome, back! Btw, you can refill those cartridges with pigment ink like Ph Martin's Black Star Matte using a pipette, and not have to spend so much money on those cartridges.

[@SketchyTrav]

GummyTumor thanks! Good to know.

[@ibleedcreativity7316]

Holy crap dude welcome back!

[@SketchyTrav]

Rodricks Nerdy World thanks! Good to be back.

[@bigboyanimation3799]

I like Chitara she is the best drawing in this book and the face of the monster that have 3 eyes he looks like a demon from the book necronomicon

[@GhostieBugzArtYT]

Great to see your back! Can't wait for more of your videos they are very fun and insirational to watch!

[@SketchyTrav]

Thanks!

[@onifox8604]

Used to read comics when I was younger, that's pretty much what got me into art then I broke away from that and started to get into realism, branching out to clay and painting and now full circle back to comics.. I've been trying digital I like it but still favor traditional.. some of my favorite artists frank frazetta, alex ross, karl kop, kim jung gi , love your work and have learned much very inspiring thank you.

[@cybersekkin]

Used to read Marvel and DC. Been living in Japan for a while and mostly read Manga. Oddly even find some DC and Marvel in there from time to time. Also looking at various video game characters for inspiration and number of the classic illustrators are making their way into my interest: Frazetta, Kley, NC Wyeth, Leyendecker. Love your art, keep up the great work.

[@SketchyTrav]

Thanks! i love manga as well. I love the exaggerated movement that manga art captures so well.

[@zkull777]

Great to see your sketches again. Comic book art and fantasy art are my favorite art types!

[@yoolove_i2217]

I really like cyberpunk art or diferent design like what you did with the diferent pens colors in one of your scketchbook tours video

[@bradbuchanan9326]

I draw comic book art and more cartoony figures. Would love to start drawing more characters from my imagination but I struggle with that. Most times I have to reference another drawing to come up with something of my own. I know it takes more practice but like you my time is limited even for just producing art. My daughter is starting to get interested in art and she’s 10. This has given us more things to talk about and share. I coach her travel softball team so that takes up most of our time but something like art is just more chill and Rather then yelling at her on a field.😁Anyways I really enjoy your channel. It’s given me more inspiration to sit down and put some things on paper. Keep up the good work bro!

[@santiagogarciaruiz8296]

dude i personally know your videos some weeks behind and i just love the way how you draw you R right now my favorite artist of this month and my inspiration ♡

[@almanicholls]

Cheetara and Harley Quinn are awesomely beautiful Great art dude 👏👏👏👏 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓 Question at the end Comic book drawing I use to way back in school But I moved into reference drawing. Haven't done anything from imagination like you do. Well done 👏👏👏👏

[@illyath4322]

Ayyy hes back🎉🎉 big fan of ur sketchbook stuff

[@CleoStudios]

Welcome back love your drawings and helps alot with comic art ideas nd character design ideas. I'm gonna be staring my own comic soon and I'm looking at many resources and creators.

[@paveltc]

I really like looking at concept art and comic book art. I have been trying to get more into reading comic books. I really love your work. Found your channel a few days ago and have been watching a couple of videos everyday. Do you do a pencil sketch under the ink or do you just go straight to drawing with ink?

[@starlytesherice9648]

Good to see u are back but did u start off with pencil then use the pen and marker?

[@themorenajay]

Hello there! Amazing things in your sketchbook I see :) To answer the question: In my country /Bulgaria/ we have a tradition with comic book artists - one name that immediately comes to mind is Peter Stanimirov /he has an Artstation account/ because I admire his art with all my heart - I even got a book of his. But I started saying - we do have this tradition of truly amazing comic books and stories - I especially loved the older ones that are just black & white, with so much realism and detail it's stunning. And they were history themed so I could look at the muscles of the horses, the dresses of the women, the weapons - all day long. But last years - mainly after all the American influences flooded the market - those things disappeared and got mixed up with superheroes, Barbies and the idea that any and all that's called "comic" is for children 18 & younger. It's extremely sad - at least for me - to see the really good artists we have looking for exposure out of their -our - own country because they're not appreciated enough. So, yes, I do watch videos that do comic book things, especially like yours because I see a hint of the same things that fascinated me in those old ones. On a different note - the dude in the back at about 5:00 kind of looks like the roo-men from Tank Girl :D or a very old Tony Tony Chopper.

[@SketchyTrav]

Comic books like "Monstress" and "These Savage Shores" have beautiful Art and great adult stories and should be treated the same way society treats a good novel in my opinion. I would love to see comics like these gain more public attention. The dude in the back definitely looks like a roo-man. I did a Tank Girl poster awhile back so its probably something that has nestled into my mind.

[@themorenajay]

@@SketchyTrav I can't agree more. Actually These Savage Shores is exactly the style of the ones I remember from our historic ones. /Just looked them up, thank you for sharing them as titles! Will definitely spend tome time to read what I can find online/. I do like some of the ""American" ones too - especially some Spiderman ones - but when it's so much people forget what we have as our own it gets a bit more bitter. Recently I got the first two volumes of "Jack Eridon" - a comic done by a Bulgarian artist too which is also pretty much an adult-read.

[@tlsartstudio3387]

My name Thomas Sandlin and I am mostly into cartooning but I like your style of art this was my first video of yours but I subscribed to your channel because I have liked what I have seen so far I also do realistic portraits and fan art I am 57 years old and I used to be a comic book reader for a long time mostly Marvel stuff but I also liked Image comics Spawn in particular. But yeah I liked what I saw in your work so far I hope to see more in the future!

[@SketchyTrav]

Thanks for the Info Thomas, if you don't mind me asking, What kinds of art videos do you like to watch? How to draw, sketchbook tours, art product reviews?

[@tlsartstudio3387]

@@SketchyTrav I like all of the above but I think what I like the most is how to draw videos so I can see how the artist arrives at the finish piece! But I like a sketchbook tours too as well as the others as well!

[@brucenunn3268]

Really Great to see you on KZbin Again.. Just an Incredible Artist and has Inspired me So Much..!! Thank You for taking the Time to go through your Sketch Book, i Love Your Traditional Stuff. The Digital is amazing to, there is just something about that Traditional stuff tho.. lol Great to Have you Back Trav.! 👊😎 I saw this notification and was like 😳

[@SketchyTrav]

Bruce Nunn haha thanks Bruce, and thanks for the encouragement. Any videos in particular you would like to see?

[@brucenunn3268]

Sketchy Trav I like Videos where the Artist Explains the Sketching Process and Why he/she does what thy do. To be Honest I think a Video That Helps Younger Artist wld be a huge help. I know when you get to your Level it’s easy or easier to do the lines and Sketches that you do. But, as Younger Artists sometimes it’s hard to Find a Path that Helps Improvement when us as Newer Artist Strive to get better. I think a Video that Covers Some of the Key things to Work on wld be Helpful.. or Maybe a Video where, if you cld go back and tell yourself to work on these Key things, What wld thy be.? Example: Line Weight, Shading, Gesture, Anatomy.. And Why..? Thanks again for the Channel and Inspiration. I hope that I Awnsered good enough for you to understand it.. 👊😎

[@moonspiritartbycindyhill1084]

Welcome back

[@omnitopiasupply851]

this video was awesome!

[@coldlta8984]

I am into video game art and I am currently learning how to draw with pen. I look at your channel because you do good drawings, so my reasons are for more inspirational/educational purposes.

[@tyleen27]

Yayayay! A sketchy video

[@Iceintheveins10]

Same here. My drawing ✍️ start off stiff. As, I go on. My stuff starts to loosen up and, I become happier with it. I notice when, start off I’m too focused on details. I start becoming more fluid later on, though.

[@mikem.8826]

Nice drawing! And interesting channel! -)) On your question about your audience - I'm a 3D artist, currently doing personal project, and practicing in drawing from time to time)

[@caliscioxarts2191]

I always loved your work from the time I started watching your youtube videos, I'm into animie and comics that's the style I tend to draw, I been drawing realism as well and that has helped me become better at drawing. I'm trying to find different styles and add more dimension and contrast to my art...I'm trying to become a famous artist and be able to draw and sell my art

[@SketchyTrav]

Thanks! Everything you said is pretty much what I enjoy and pursue myself. Understanding all forms of art will only make you a better artist. I try to really focus on specific things for periods of time so that I can thoroughly understand it and become a better artist because of it.

[@kevsernurkaratas4353]

6:53 just doodles, wonderful doodles

[@adumpsterskates9390]

love it keep going you crazyyyyyy mate from the us you got my sub

[@SketchyTrav]

Bryan Krumreich thanks! Glad you like my channel!

[@tyleen27]

No I don't read or draw comics.. I'm more into realism .but your drawings are awesome that why I keep coming back

[@rob3rt19931]

I draw mostly fan art but that's because I want to get ideas for my own characters to make my own comic. 😁 I'm mostly inspired by eastern style. Like vagabond, Naruto, and final fantasy.

[@georgewatts2878]

Welcome Back 😀

[@Theforeveraloneguy]

Hey how did you learn to draw comic book style faces and eyes? I'm struggling with that.

[@SketchyTrav]

referencing artists you enjoy is the best way. if you see an eye style you like, copy it until it is easy for you to remember and draw.

[@Theforeveraloneguy]

@@SketchyTrav thanks!

[@zack164]

wow now this is a time portal

[@YeahmynameKiara]

Finally!

[@everuby4787]

I guess I am late to this video but I wanted to answer your question, I got into art after I had a really scary illness I was in the hospital room 2 years ago and I told myself what I really would like to do that I have never tried, after thinking for a while I realized I have never tried to learn how to draw, so I started back then, I am not as good as my three brothers, they are really good, but I am getting there, that was part of the reason I've never tried, they were too good, so now I am learning in KZbin, not to impress anyone but to cross it from my list.

[@georgek5737]

im mostly into surrealism. but i read and collect comic books

[@Ransome1690]

I know its late but i'm into manga or anime styled art, surreal art, fantasy art which just tend to file comic book art under, and some classical art. I use to like photo realism but have since found it to be pretty boring and repititive.

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

Nice to see ya

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

I love comic art and manga art, concept art...all of it. My favorite artist is Jakub Rozalski, he goes by the handle MrWerewolf. But anyway, I don't really read many comics these days. I honestly don't even draw anymore but love watching your videos in particular.

[@Pyrax0x]
