„The stuff you see in your head is always at least 5 years ahead of what you can do.“ So true! -.-

[@s2cardinal]

This is one of my favorite series to watch. I love watching people draw and share their sacred sketchbooks and listening to them wax poetically, it’s the perfect blend.

[@gauravj7851]

Am in love with his narrative skills more than his art. Like honestly make a vedio of him just speaking as long as he can I'll listen to him all the way! Seeing myself like him in 5 years!

[@v-buckschan111]

Omg I really love this sketch book series , it's so inspirational AND very informational

[@jaigrant-williams7736]

Just now realized Karla Ortiz is the host...

[@lokman175200]

Who?

[@MrBlamboo]

@@lokman175200 She's a sick artist. Just google her or even search her here on YT!

[@iangillham9647]

Everyone complains about the giggling, but it seems to help the artists open up, there was a brilliant artist (worked in blue pencil) no giggling it felt all serious but sorta closed down and scripted almost...

[@briankendalll2093]

I was wondering why he was featured until I looked up his work. Amazing artist for sure.

[@jo9286mj]

Cannot thank you guys enough for this videos. These are so inspirational. Eagerly waiting for more.

[@soumyadipdey426]

His Deakins impression was spot on!

[@dustinwheat4096]

I want to work in animation but I have Asperger’s and it’s usually very challenging to be objective about my own work. It’s nice hearing someone say that people like me tend to be more creative because I doubt it so regularly

[@hannahdeards9652]

Most of my friends are artists and most of them have high functioning autism/aspergers. My therapist also thought I had aspergers and I draw for hours every day. You're not alone!!

[@MrMadalien]

I have Asperger's (diagnosed at 5 years old) and I've been working in animation for 5 years on very big projects... It helps more than hinders. Although I have realized that if I want to improve more I need to get better at communication and storytelling which is the hard part of having some form of autism, the way that I think does not easily translate to stories.

[@bj-vd2to]

this series is insane, I think this might be my favorite thing to watch ever!

[@annemwariri8940]

I love this series... But to be honest, I appreciated watching a bunch of sketches from an artist in earlier videos.. that way I got a better glimpse of their work..in contrast, watching an artist make one sketch limits how much I understand their work... we'd appreciate if you'd use the previous format more often.. Thank you for these videos😀

[@dariofromthefuture3075]

This was epic ! I’d love a full interview with Robh. He’s a really interesting guy. And I love this series. Keep me coming

[@benjamindel2037]

Would live to see Alberto Mielgo do a sketch for you

[@alia2278]

as always great episode!

[@markwick11]

this little series has really helped me out i have always enjoyed drawing, but recently ive had feelings so i listen to one of these and draw. thanks :)

[@Adam-kx2tp]

To see someone this high up in the creative food chain just doodling with a ballpoint is insane.

[@johnvonmartin7501]

This dude seems to master both art and history his speeches were very informative....

[@paul_domici]

It's like I'm picking the artists brain !!! I Love this series

[@s2cardinal]

Tree of Life is one of my favorite movies!

[@commenzator]

Who needs a radio if you have this guy for a friend?

[@Novasaur198]

What if jungi came on and just covered the whole spread while talking😂

[@SuperAwsomeFunLogan]

They already had him on.

[@ironwraithful]

I think they deleted his video because it showed lots of nudity and sex, and ppl commenting whined about it

[@camilopachon9845]

Dayuuum! That story about norman Rockwell. Great episode btw

[@Captain_MonsterFart]

It's surprising when you see how cutesy and sweet his professional subject matter tended to be! I'm glad we can all fake it in life. Thank god for that.

[@caileanparis9998]

I'm fascinated how some of these artists can talk so normally why drawing lol

[@charlie1872]

Really enjoyed seeing you sketch👍

[@oart2472]

Your sketchbook is very beautiful. I like the characters you draw. They look very cute. I also like cartoons. Thank you for sharing! 👍!

[@spoonerbooner]

I share his sprit animal, for same reasons

[@ellathrad]

Cool.

[@SuperAwsomeFunLogan]

Anyone have a source on Rockwell being a swinger?

[@arhamhabibdnp8378]

2017!?!?

[@aynclan33]

Felt so moved by Robh's words and persona. Such great insight into the artistic mind.

[@manishmaurya857]

How did YOUUU get here ???

[@keylupveintisiete7552]

Victoria is a movie that was actually recorded in one take (they rehearsed for months and then recorded the whole movie three times to get it perfect)

[@aderemiporsche]

And Russian Ark.

[@alexflorence5306]

Robh gets it.

[@victordiazpolonio]

Muchas gracias por estos vídeos!

[@michitasser387]

Drawing with shades on .

[@insimniak]

Awesome series ♥ please invite Sterling Clinton Hundley

[@PhotoshopShopCS6]

Now we need one with karla :D

[@kugashira24]

Wow this dude is crazy 😂😂😂

[@marlish1]

Why the sunglasses?

[@nakajima6]

These videos are like just a bunch of old guys that don’t like people on their phones lul

[@mariadam9157]

- haha! - great

[@idrawspiders]

Wait...is this a re-upload?

[@DTHRocket]

"You're just a mammal." -Robh Ruppel. No, you're more than an animal. You're a human with a soul, and that means something.

[@squintygreeneyes]

all my other sea otter spirit animalers rejoice!

[@cirovallone889]

Ballpoint pentel ?

[@rpupo2798]

He looks like to Boris the animal

[@plectrumdust6871]

@15:50

[@simeongalda5988]

What is that glass in his glasses?

[@alisonschlake6750]

They're bifocals

[@CHORAOIN]

subtitles in portuguese (Brasil) please 🙏💥

[@alexeygarmash5819]

.....All these talks....Almost like Jarmush’s Coffee and Cigarettes.....:)

Please add delivery of your merch to Mexico 🇲🇽 🙌

[@aderemiporsche]

Just kidding but is Ruppel aware that wearing shades inside is typically considered a sign of douchebaggery?

[@unennuii1351]

Pero que clase rumba pa pa pa

[@painville]

Another sketchbook series with no sketches at all......ok

[@squintygreeneyes]

he starts sketching within 45 seconds of the video you dim-witted nit wit

[@soulfire139]

wow. cool. he has so many anecdotes about things I learned covered in high school! how many words can you speak in 20 minutes and still be boring?

[@katebyrne3127]

This entire clip was pretty cringey. "I think we're all autistic" "My spirit animal is an otter". People from older generations are really unaware of how offensive and crude they can be.

[@Captain_MonsterFart]

"Older generations" lol Toughen up kid. Those things he said were seriously nothing. You guys have been taught to overthink the tiniest stuff. Don't stress yourself out, you cannot control what other people say, only your own reaction. So let it go.

[@3082frank]

I love watching these sketching series..but that background sound of the woman is a bit annoying, thats why my favourite episodes are the ones..that did not have her annoying sound..dont mean any form of disrespect..but just want to listen to the artist..please.

[@davin4811]

But the artist is having conversation with the woman, and if she is not responding to the artist that's actually really rude

[@3082frank]

@@davin4811 well, atleast mute her...after editing..the continous giggling and laughing, was distracting. Its just my opinion. Great series though.

[@nadaroule]

it's Karla Ortiz and it's his conversation with *her*

[@AlexScene]

I really do not like this interviewer. I do not want to hear her. Or, if we are supposed to, then it should be a back and forth. In my opinion, she inserts herself too much into the interview.

[@jonas4xa43]

Lmao she literally doesn't say more than two sentences. Dumbass

[@AlexScene]

@@jonas4xa43 which is too much as an interviewer. This type of interview is about the person being interviewed.
