This Sketchbook Took a YEAR To Finish

[@neffalathiel]

I really love your handwriting. I know, I know, the art, I know, but dude, your handwriting is so neat!

[@jakeparker44]

Thanks!

[@KeshArt]

Great sketchbook! Really love the stickers on the front btw. And how on Earth do you manage to do watercolors and markers on the moleskin..I bought the same one and it's very hard to make it work. Paper is too light for my taste.

I actually used the same books for inktober this year and used watercolor- just gotta go with either a really light wash or go SUPER easy on the water

[@amourie]

i suggest getting the watercolor specific book kesh, they come in the same size i think and i find it effective? idk i might be thinking of something else

[@horaciosalazargomez9488]

Hi Jake! :) I loved all your sketches, they're so creative and carefully detailed! You have plenty of amazing ideas that you certainly pointed "lots of them, very little time". Wish you all the success for the next sketchbook you'll fill. Blessings!!

[@CandellieStudio]

Congrats on a great year. Love the tour. I've been drawing in a sketchbook for the first time and have done a page a day this month. Some days are harder than others but I've enjoyed seeing what I come up with. A few fanarts thrown in. I plan to continue into the new year. And hopefully use it to inspire a product

[@Stagger20]

Thank you so much for sharing your art. You have been a huge inspiration to me while I've been on vacation this week. I had lost my motivation to draw the last couple of months until I found your channel. Please keep up the videos and sharing.

[@elypso_]

I'm usually not a huge fan of sketchbook tour videos but I have to say I loved this! Really inspiring me to draw in my own sketchbook :)

[@wozgog]

Brilliant. Love how you create art that could be aimed at younger kids and another piece that could be for older kids but you just drip feed enough detail in there so that it’s unmistakably a jake parker piece.

[@leilam5497]

Hi Jake, I stumbled upon this video by accident and I'm so glad I did. I completely forgot about missile mouse but that was one of my favorite comic books when I was in elementary school and I cant believe you drew it. You probably wont see this but I wanted to thank you for making such a cool comic.

[@nmlss]

Thanks for sharing these videos with us, Jake. Specially when you show us drawings that we think look amazing and you're like "nah, this looks bad because of this and that". That shows us that no matter how much you improve your skills, you'll always find some flaws in your art, which I think it's what makes you get better and better.

[@sethleoric2598]

For me a creator who finds his creation perfect therefore makes his creation flawed... or at least that's the mindset for me whenever i draw

[@thechelsea9]

I do love sketchbook tours Always motivates me to get back to drawing

[@Oddernod]

Really loving all the logo designs, Jake. Would love to see a sketchbook focused on all of that side of your work one day.

[@kedapofeng8993]

"How long have you been working on that sketchbook?" "Thirteen months"

[@opaqueturnip4367]

Oh my God, I loved missile mouse as a kid, and when I got older I found the second book and loved it even more! I just found your channel and hope to see more of your comics and art in the future!

[@lordfaust_87]

Those are really amazing illustrations! Thanks to the KZbin recommendations for making me found this wonderful artist! :D

[@StephanBayless]

I really love how honest your videos are. I have TONS of sketchbooks with odd pages that have unfinished sketches. Nice to know I'm not alone in failing to finish every single page. I'd love to see an animated Inktober mascot!

[@jessicasartrestraint5614]

Oh my god the Avocado-Bot is GENIUS! Love it!! And Inky is adorable! 😍💖

[@bettyszwagierczak4062]

Great sketchbook tour! I love your mecha designs and avocadobot stole my heart. Have a great 2019!

[@susanmarks9164]

Great video Jake (as always)-you've been a HUGE inspiration to me this past year-both as an illustrator and teacher, but also as a human being. I'd love to see a video on "what's next for Skyheart"--I scored one of the last copies and I've enjoyed it so much, particularly knowing how challenging it was for you to finally feel "good enough" to start and finish it. I want to know the rest of the story! and whether or not you're giving any thoughts to having more assistance on bringing more of your stories and images into reality. I'll always watch your paint dry...

[@shopayne]

First time viewer! Very in love and inspired by your art. Keep up the good work!

[@poneyfeathersart1442]

Love your videos Jake!! I go back and watch the old ones often. Usually when im trying to sketch. Always good content, topics and you have a soothing voice. 😄

seeing you art makes me believe that i can see a future in drawing. im still trying to find my style but i love everything u do its just beyond amazing!!

[@lOwlEyesl]

Love the inktopus, inky and inktober logos... I participate in inktober every year. I would love it if you sold stickersfor the up-coming inktober challenge year so that I may put it on my sketchbook! Just an idea- I know you're busy but I'd buy a couple!

14:55 reminds me of the Goliath from Evolve. Loved this sketchbook and your stories behind the characters :D

[@xuanzhijerryfu8121]

The sketchbook is amazing! I'm a little sad that my dream-style is pretty much like how yours is with all those robotics and science-fiction characters, and you can draw them so well! I hope I can practice more with my art skills, though it may be hard for me to reach your ability since I'm only in middle-school. I've been so interested with drawing and crafting since when I was little; I would like to compose creative artworks one day just like you.

[@jacobshort6528]

I had a classmate in Middle School during the late 1980s who was so good at art, that his parents supported his efforts and talents, and after attending art school, he went on to work for Disney. Despite my talents in art, my parents wanted me to build houses or be an auto mechanic. I had to take art classes behind their backs.

[@starpaltiem]

omg when i was younger my favorite thing to do is look threw missile mouse books (cause i couldnt read) and its so cool that you made it!

[@10XSeiga]

What a wonderful gift to see these sketches :)

[@jaytamayo4694]

When I saw the green plane a scene plays my mind. With these sketches you can mke film. Love to see them on a film.

[@perspicaciouscritic]

4:56 - The Avocado Bot is a wonderful happy accident which works because of its abstract construction, leaving the viewer to play a role in interpreting the artwork as a fruit (or not) and making the sketch more engaging. I feel, though, that the subsequent food bots, while showing excellence in draughtsmanship and execution, are too obvious and not as imaginative as Avocado Bot. Still, it is obvious the fun you had thinking up these sketches and may you continue to inspire. Thumbs up.

[@elbardo5778]

Cool sketches, the vehicles and robots have a really nice "Metal Slug" kinda style, really like them.

My first sketchbook was accidentally thrown in the trash by my aunt, it's been 7 years since then but I will never forget that.

[@BitterDawn]

Late to the party here, just found your channel this morning. Very cool to have a walk through of one of your sketchbooks. Last week I watched Dune for the first time after a pharmacist I deliver to said "the spice must flow". There was no discussion on the subject but I knew it was a Dune reference as the movie was loosely in my psyche despite never having seen it so, I find it curious to find your 3 year old video with some Dune sketches..life is weird or synchronicity perhaps.

I wish video game companies would talk to you about bringing some of these characters to life bc they are so interesting looking and could have some real fun with them, there are not a lot of unique characters in like solo play games anymore, and they would be a lot more memorable if they had characters like these

Ok, I'm not even through the vid yet. It would be awesome if you could get the rights & do a graphic novel of Dune, delivered serial-style, chapter-by-chapter or even smaller groups of pages at a time. Baron in particular looks so cool! It would be great for you to include a meta-character of yourself, with illustrated journal notes of the scenes, and/or expository diagrams e.g. the Still Suit. I'm so glad you're making time to do vids again; you're so inspirational and you have such a great art style. :)
