The sound of that paaaaaaaaperrrrrrrrrrrr! I want one of these. This sketchbook was made for you; you mastered it.

[@SophieMcPike]

I KNOW SO CRINKLY!!

[@besthobbit]

that page crinkle is soooo satisfying

[@Thebookrat]

I feel like it would be a really fun challenge to work an onion skin sketchbook back to front, so you’re sort of continuously building on what came before. Really make the most of the transparency.

[@SophieMcPike]

Yeah that’s such a fun idea!!

[@BriannaHasHobbies]

I am doing that with my own Onion Skin, it's so much fun!

[@lennoxraynewood2741]

I LOVE onion paper it’s fabulous for anatomy drawing where you can draw the bones on one layer then the nerves on the next, the blood vessels, the muscles, so on until you get to the top layer where you draw the skin that covers up everything it’s very fun paper to use.

[@SophieMcPike]

Oooooooh I love that idea so much!

[@jocelyncole8582]

the juiciest, crunchiest tour!

[@SophieMcPike]

CRONCH

[@asootspriteart]

I have an Onion Skin Journal and it's sat unused on my shelf as it just feels so special and is so expensive that I've feel too afraid to use it - it never occurred to me to use it as a sketchbook as I was hung up on the word 'journal'. Love it! Thank you for the inspiration, your sketchbook looks incredible!

[@Martine0509]

The sound of that paper is MESMERIZING!❤

[@ruleofthree99]

i’ve been waiting for this one (i mean this in a joyous "i am excited for everything you do" way, not a rude way....)

[@SophieMcPike]

Hehehe 🥰 thank youuuuu

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

You’ve been tempting me with this sketchbook since you first showed it! Those crispy thin vellum pages🤤😍I wanna eat them!😂 So many lovely doodles and also fun to see some Art Hang Party sessions and Scribble Brigades! Like, oooh! I remember those, I was there😊hehehe

[@tahniostermanart]

This seems like such a good sketchbook to feel free and let loose in! Sometimes when the paper is too thick and pristine, I find myself holding back or just saving it for more thought-out spreads- which is so anti sketchbook! Can't wait to try the onion🤗

[@JackieXje]

I also have a onionskinjournal, I sometimes work into the journal because it feels so special to me. It is very very expensive to ship to the Netherlands. So i make special moments to work in it. But better work as free as you do. I love love love your video and your artwork so much. Thanks for sharing!❤❤❤❤❤

[@rochellehannah-nv3jq]

Hi from Perth 🐝 I’ve been delaying the use of a sketchbook because I fear that I would tear out the ‘mistakes’. You’ve helped me realise that the book is for my experiments and practice. For new ideas and colour processing. It’s not about making a perfect page each time. In fact, the book as a whole becomes perfect as each page is filled with my ideas… Thank you 🤗

[@SophieMcPike]

Yesssss!!!! That’s exactly it! It takes practice to let go and get Scribbly, so give yourself a big pat on the back with every playful drawing, colour swatch and messy thing!

[@Piasays]

Love the way you illustrate curvy bodies

[@cibujohny920]

as a sketchbook tour, i love how you can get a bit of a preview of the next page! every page flip feels like a reveal and a preview at the same time, almost like they're all cliffhangers. your art is super cool and i love love love the number of scribbles on every page!!

[@SophieMcPike]

I love that!!!

[@EvelineUK]

That looks amazing! The layering really adds to it, and the sound.... wow! Also love how you were not too precious about it, and just.. used it. Very encouraging.

[@SophieMcPike]

Thanks so much! 😊 it was so refreshing to just play and experiment in a less “pretty” way than usual for me. I feel like my sketchbooks used to be a lot more like this before the days of KZbin and sharing it publicly 💜

[@nolasteuer3216]

Your sketchbook tours are always such a joy to watch! (All your videos are, really) Thank you for sharing!

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank you 🤩

[@daikinivlogt]

The pages sound like Butterbrotpapier 😮🧡

[@FelinePoetry]

Nothing makes my brain happier than your use of color. I love seeing the swatch pages peak through the linework. I just ordered an onion skin journal and I hope to fill mine with beautiful colors and patterns as well. ❤

[@SophieMcPike]

💖💖💖💖

[@jessicastrideart]

That sketchbook makes a very satisfying noise! I love your figures, they’re so fluid and filled with movement.😍

[@SitaToutCourt]

Your videos always make me want to play and enjoy drawing, thank you so much for your joy! If anything, you made me eager to pre blobinate my pages, doing that tonight after work 😤 And what a great sketchbook tour, the transparency makes it so much fun to see a little preview of the next thing and the randomness of the colours and lines mixing!

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank you so muchhhh!! Have fun pre blobbin’!!!

[@mariatrapani851]

HI I AM FROM MELBOURNE TOO, BEAUTIFUL CITY. LOVE YOUR ART WORK, THE PAPER SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO TRACING PAPER THE CRISPY ONE. GOOD WORK DEAR. BYE MARY

[@thinkerdreamersketcherspy]

The Onionskin sketchbook is my dream. 😍 I love the sound and the see-through effect. When I get one, I'm going to start from the end of the book and really build on that transparency, I think it'd be fun and different. Loved this tour. So many pretty colours, but most of all the delicious linework adding up from pervious pages was so inspiring. Very "Sophie" sketchbook, well done. ❤️

[@SophieMcPike]

Suuuuuch a fun idea! I love that!!!

[@ohbli_oh]

Best sketchbook tour I’ve seen. I just love your work on this paper. You make it so special 😊

[@SophieMcPike]

Ah thank you so much!!!

[@CreativePhenomenonArt]

Every sketchbook should strive for that GLORIOUS crinkle sound 🤤🤤🤤🤤 #sketchbookgoals 🤣

[@SophieMcPike]

🥰🌼✨

[@Elena-Studio]

omg! i've been wanting an actual artist to try this out. i wasn't sure if i wanted to buy it because i didn't know what i would even use it for, but this was such a fun video to watch! thank you for sharing.

[@ChantelleArts]

your sketchbooks are always so fun! my favourites are the poses with a splash of colour, so pretty 🥰

[@natalieastravars7313]

ahhh the sound is sooooo good!! i love how you often say that you've been playing in your sketchbooks and with your art in general, i think it's such a lovely mindset. i'm a perfectionist with my art, but i really wanna learn how to allow myself to be messy and playful and just have fun and not be afraid of making mistakes. cause sometimes i notice that things i work the least on turn out the best thank you for sharing your sketchbook and stories yet again 🩷

[@_foxpuppet]

Beautiful art, beautiful paper sounds, beautiful video

[@louisealchin7435]

Rewatching so I can listen to the sound of the paper! 😂 I had to watch it on mute with subtitles yesterday. 😊

[@louisealchin7435]

Also, I have been waiting for you to finish this sketchbook 😂

[@SophieMcPike]

Haha that makes me happy!!!

[@Grassless24]

Yayyy more onion skin journal

[@death__ray]

never thought of this! I'll DIY one rn

[@blueberrycatdesign5684]

Love the drawings and sketchbook! It's a great inspiration!

[@impish22]

how fun, thanks for sharing

[@mauravelte6127]

Loveee this tour! I love working on transparent paper, so many cool effects

[@wendywhitley4611]

That satisfying CRUNCH!!!! As always your work is amazing. The crunchy just makes it better.

[@SophieMcPike]

I'll miss that crunch every day until I get another onion skin journal :)

[@artwith.jayshannon]

This is such an interesting book! Not come across this before 😮

[@arianearghyris]

OMG this video is so ASMR in a good way!! I was looking forward to watching it and you delivered, as usual, with your amazing drawings ❤

[@lettylettebowskie]

Your sketchbook is so wonderful and the sound of it! 😍

[@leolune_art]

Yay a new skecthbook tour !!! :3

[@SophieMcPike]

The second sketchbook tour in a row!!!

[@BettyCollins88]

Interesting paper. I like the full page pattern series. A lot of these sketch journal tours r only showing finished drawings. So I think it's nice that u actually showed ur process n weren't too precious about everything.

[@sadmimikyu8807]

What you have created is amazing! I love how it looks now. I really like your curvy girls drawings they are so expressive! Very glad you were in my recommended videos! Greetings from Germany!

[@SophieMcPike]

💖💖💖

[@lilyotv9767]

So cool love your colors and creations!

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank you so much!

[@anne-sop2218]

Oh the desire to buy another sketchbook! I dont need one! But this lovely paper is so inspiring, I'll have to give it a try someday. Love your art as always, it's so beautiful ❤

[@christinacreatesau]

Can’t get enough of the sound of the crinkly pages Yummy! Lovely journal. (Bit expensive for postage to Australia though). I shall make my own :) :)

[@sammsart]

your videos are such a ray of sunshine!! it's been a crazy rainy spring+summer where I am and your videos just bring a little more sun in my life

[@SophieMcPike]

That’s so lovely ✨🌼 thank you!

[@cookie-kei]

I am soo curious about this paper! It looks really fun and I love how crinkly it is.

[@sarahb.6475]

I really like the self portraits you did - they look so fantastic! And I like those pages of patterns too! I think maybe they call it onion skin as skin from an onion is so super thin? And that paper is thin too!

[@SophieMcPike]

Yeah I think you’re right! The animation industry probably took their “onion skin” term from the paper… because paper came before modern animation 😌

[@LaurenKribell]

You are totally influencing me to buy one of these! I am also obsessed with Neocolor II pastels, and I was in awe at how they looked on these pages 😍

[@SophieMcPike]

I wish I could have expressed more strongly how LOVELY and smooth it was to draw with the neos on this paper! Heheh 🥰

[@dcslye8330]

This video just came up in the “new to you” and finally, the KZbin algorithm nailed it! I’m so happy to have clicked on this video. Love your art work and look forward to checking out your other videos! Subscribed!! 👏

[@SophieMcPike]

Ahh I love when that happens!! Hello 🌼 welcome 🧡

[@ariannadidonato4505]

Had a major life illumination while watching this video 😆😆 Thank you Sophie, you are so inspiring🧡

[@SophieMcPike]

Hehe I loveeee that!!!!

[@accade_acaso]

I remember in December when you received this sketchbook, it’s so nice to be here still, watching how you filled it with colours, moods, shapes and lines!❤ love your art Sophie, thanks for sharing

[@SophieMcPike]

So glad you stuck around to see the filled sketchbook 🥰 that’s so lovely!

[@Flowstatepaint]

Lovely content

[@polgara28]

This has to be my all time favorite sketchbook tour EVER! Such juicy, luscious color, the way you could see through the pages, just glorious! Thank you for this! I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see if you could use Neocolor II in this, and oh wow, your paintings with the neo's were beautiful! I went back to your original video, just in case you get credit for us purchasing through your link. They should make you a brand ambassador, for as many as you will sell for them! I loved the views that you could get when you slipped the white paper underneath. Just so cool! (I'm a bit excited, can ya tell?) I hope you are able to get another one to make joyous art in. I could tell you loved it so! Thanks for sharing! Happy painting! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

[@SophieMcPike]

Awwww I love this comment!!!! So much joy!!!! Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️

[@nessieo6211]

How Amazing is this papier ! And tour self-portraits ( i don't know if it's thé right word in english 🫣) are so wonderful !!!! 🎉🎉

[@SophieMcPike]

Thank you so much!!!

[@mrs.mentita]

KZbin me puso esto en mis recomendaciones y no me arrepiento de darle clic! 🗒️💞

[@SophieMcPike]

♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@happenedbychance3392]

Very fun (:

[@monicasdesignprocess]

This sketchbook is such a treasure trove, l love seeing how it looks filled with all of your fun and colorful drawings! Now I'm very curious to try out an onion skin journal 🤔 Do you think you'll continue to use them in the future?

[@SophieMcPike]

I would love to get another one one day! Definitely!

[@melissamartinart]

Such a fun sketchbook! Will you get another one?

[@SophieMcPike]

Very much yes! One day!!

[@itsdaksha]

God this was so good❤❤❤ btw 100th like!

[@SophieMcPike]

🎉woohoo! TYSM💜

[@lmille32]

Looks so expensive to get in Aus but I like it. I might try getting the paper and put it in something like the paper saver notebook cover and make my own...

[@SophieMcPike]

Yeah, the shipping is a killer 🤕 but I was very lucky to get this one ♥️

[@Kalgalen]

Lovely video as always!!! I love all of your doodles, you always bring such joy to the art process and it's heartwarming ahah. one question about that book (because goshhh that SOUND and that transparency!! i need one) how does it handle bleed? I'm guessing very well since you've used it for ink?

[@SophieMcPike]

Have a look at my first video about the onion skin journal - I talk a lot about this 🌿🌼 but it handles it so well considering it’s ultra thin, transparent paper!!

[@AntsAndTeeth]

I loveee this sketchbook and the sound of the paper! Question, what is the name of that glass ink pen you’re using in the beginning (and where can I get one)?

[@SophieMcPike]

It’s a glass dip pen! A quick google will show loads of online shops that sell them 🙃🥰

[@minic1194]

HOLY HELL NY LIFE I CHANGED NOW I KNOW THESE EXIST OMG! Here I’ve been soaking moleskines to try and get them crinkly! Will be immediately adding to cart

[@SophieMcPike]

Yayyyy!!!!! ✨🙌💪🏻🕺🙃🌿

[@jamieroberts269]

I love your art and your use of color and playfulness! But that cute face terracotta pot in your intro is to die for. Where is it from?

[@SophieMcPike]

It’s so funny isn’t it?! It’s actually a potato planter but I just put a plant in instead. I found it an an op shop 🙃

[@trsauvola]

...why are rocks so hard? Still on my rock journey as well. haha

[@SophieMcPike]

Hahaha! Always and forever!

[@Fie.Franciska]

Its soo cool.. but damn the shipping cost to NZ is more than half the cost of the sketchbook so sad🥴 is there any retailers down the southern hem?☺️

[@SophieMcPike]

I haven’t really looked tbh! I hope you find one!!

[@TwentyOneOlivers]

Do all of their journals have those type of pages or just the one you have?

[@SophieMcPike]

I’m not sure!! You’ll have to jump on to their website and send them an email or something ☺️

[@RallyTheTally]

The paper itself looks awful and doesn't seem to work great, but I do love the sound.

[@SophieMcPike]

It’s actually so lovely and waaaay stronger than it looks and works beautifully!! I have no struggles with it. And yes! The sound is amazing!!

[@PaperTigress]
