Hey guys welcome back to my channel! Today I wanted to share with you my
completed and Mossery sketchbook. According to my 'first impressions' video, I started
this sketchbook in June 2017, it was sent to me by Mossery
[Background Noises]
And it's not my favourite completed sketchbook so far in terms of what's in it but I like it for
what it was in terms of me figuring out along the way how I wanted to be using a
sketchbook and just trying different things out. So you'll see what I mean once I
get into it. And obviously the front is monogrammed with my name and I'll have a
link below to where you can buy these for yourselves. This sketchbook is a
little bit of everything I want a sketchbook to be for me. If you saw my
first impressions video, I was really excited about these pages right at the
beginning where they have space where you can write your goals and purposes
and just brainstorm ideas. I was really excited to use these and I didn't and I
wish I had but I think my expectations for this sketchbook turned out to be
quite different to what I ended up with. It ended up being a kind of hold-all for
things like the souvenirs, memories, rough sketches, ideas. So to start with it's
just these drawings of all the different things I packed when I went to a music
festival back in July of last year; the clothes I wore and just the things
that were in my rucksack I would carry around with me in the day. This is
from the same trip, this was our campsite. I actually have a vlog on this if you
are interested in watching that. Just a few patterns and things I saw. I did this
in gouache. And then just like different faces, still from the festival,
different performers. And this is where I just stuck in the little train
ticket from the miniature railway. This was my first time trying my more kind of
minimal painting style on faces and didn't turn out great but it was a good
start and you'll see pretty soon where I ended up with that. This was just the
festival wristband as well. This sketchbook doesn't have the flow that I'd normally
like for a sketchbook, I don't normally use a wire-bound sketchbook. Other than that
it worked out really well; the paper's great for everything that I used it for;
ink and gouache and watercolors and pencils but I don't know if I would go
back to using a wire-bound sketchbook. It just doesn't translate well with my art.
I like to have things flowing across the page and you'll see with this one, things
feel a lot more stiff and stunted in here. Here I was just looking at- I like
the really gormless faces in Renaissance paintings so I just wanted to draw a
couple of those and I might come back to this idea. This is what I was
talking about with that painting style. Now this one turned out pretty badly, I
think I picked the wrong colours for this but with this one, I overworked it a bit
so it doesn't look as good as it did when I first started with it but I got
more of a sense of just laying down paint in a few blocks at a time, looking
more abstractly at the plains of the face and the different colours that you
can find in there. So even though it's kind of muddy and a bit of a mess and
it's not finished, this was kind of a turning point for me from those last
ones. I've got to know that technique a little bit more and also in terms of
developing my art and like developing myself as an artist in this sketchbook, my
attitude and approach to this one that didn't turn out great was a lot
different because I was more just in this to enjoy the process of painting and it
was like I asked my sketchbook a question like 'if I put this colour and
this colour together in this way, what's going to happen ?' and this is the answer.
So I'm not I'm not mad at this. I don't hate it.
And I can look at that with an appreciation that I normally wouldn't
just in terms of what I learned through painting this. Also my sketchbooks aren't
in order so this is actually the last page that I did in
here. Then we're going back to July here . So
this was the Lambeth country show. You can see this in the same vlog that I
would have put in the cards earlier. Drew some sheep, I really like this one.
And for these I used coloured pencils and I think probably
watercolors over here and then my Zig clean color real brush pen over here.
Then over here I had just seen War for the Planet of the Apes so I decided to draw
that and then in this pocket- this page is like a collection of different times,
different memories- so I just made a pocket here for... train ticket to Ifield,
this was sent by one of you guys. This is Ozzy's graduation ticket and then also
the flyer for one of my sister's roller derby games that I went to. And just here
I wrote a quick summary of all those things and what they are and what they
mean. These are the houses that you've seen me draw when I was working on building
commissions and this was another more recent page, another shift in my approach
to sketchbooking, where I got an idea and I just went with it. I didn't look at
pictures, I didn't think about it too much, I just thought 'I want to draw some
eyeballs' and I did. And you can see from the start- so I started on this one and
kind of worked my way around- and I think by the end I had more of an idea of what
style I wanted. I used a gouache for these two as well watercolour for most of them
but along the way I realized the kind of style that I wanted it to be in and I
think you can see a real difference from this one to this one. But I really
enjoyed this and I kind of feel like these would make great stickers or
something. This is one of my journal pages in here. Again I have a
video on that so if you want to see it in more detail you can check that out.
Over here another random idea that I just decided to do while it was fresh in
my brain. These are some paint swatches. I've got
some different wall paint colors that I want to try out in my room and I thought
I would swatch them in here first just to see what they're looking like. I
thought they were went really nicely together. Okay so here we're going back
in time again, this was- I don't know why I did this but I wanted to test out the
like one stroke painting style of flowers that you see a lot in Asian art
so these were some peonies I did and just a few different trials... you know, how
wet it would be on the page and then I had a few random drawings and other
sketchbooks or like scrap pieces of paper of peonies that I'd drawn-
a tattoo design practice, so I stuck those in as well. And then as it goes
along you can see little pig faces creeping in because again it was just a
random idea and I thought 'what would it look like if there was a little pig face in
there' so I painted those. And I wanted to develop that into proper painting and I
was looking at how I could fit that in, different colour ideas, also tried
casein for the first time here. But then if you remember around that time I think
I might have it in a vlog as well, I kind of chickened out of the pig idea- I thought
it was a bit weird- and I just went with straight peonies which turned out to be
a really nice idea. I really like this and these are just a couple of miss-prints
from my shop that I stuck in to keep as a memory of that progression
from the idea to what it turned into.
This this is just a random page of sketches that ended up turning into a
painting. These I have a video on as well. My minimal landscapes. And this is more
of a journal page again where I went to see Lady Day at the theater and just
tried to capture some of the atmosphere from that night which was an amazing
amazing show. So here I'm going back to the Pig idea and I just really roughly
sketched out a few ideas for different poses for the pigs and this is where
you'll see how I ended up with my pomegranate pig. So it started out as a
little sketch over here that I turned into a more detailed sketch, then I
tested out colours for the painting, just a few
different combinations, taking notes here and there, just keeping a record
of how I was thinking at that time what I was feeling and what
decisions I was making. I tried drawing a few flowers and then, the real turning
point for me with that was painting this pomegranate. I loved how
this turned out, I loved the style of it so I thought I want to take that forward
into the finished painting. I wasn't sure if it was the colours that I liked so I
just kept a little record there of the different colors that I'd use and then I
tried painting flowers in that way. These are the flowers of the pomegranate plant.
They're gorgeous and I wanted to try different ways of getting just a pop of
color and vibrancy through them and still have my line work coming through.
So these were just a few different bits of trial and error with paint
consistency, pencil, I used pastel for some of them, and also different colours that I
might want to use and then I ended up on just some scrap paper again drawing out
all the line work together and the final colours I decided on. This was my test of
painting out the colours all together and from that I realised that I didn't want
to have the pig red, I wanted it to be pink just a little to stand out more
so this down here is just another little misprint that I stuck in to see how the
plans turned into the finished piece. And then on the next page is how it actually
turned out looking and just a few notes that I'd made along the way that I again
cut out of some scrap paper and stuck in. And then this- really random- is from when
I was doing my paint pouring; a couple of people were saying it was a waste to
have so much pouring into the bottom but the thing is that when you have it
pouring into plastic you can actually peel that off and use it for different
things. I've seen people make like jewellery out of it. I just thought it'd be
nice to cut it out and stick it into my sketchbook. And this is one of those
really rough pages. This was during inktober and I've just used this
sketchbook basically of scrap paper to map out different ideas. So this was the
lagoon creature page; I wanted to test some of the tonal values and see if I
could make it all fit together well without everything getting lost in there
and I just wanted to also see about mixing blue and black ink and how well
that would work. And then this was the dragon house and
it turned out a lot better on this texture paper than it did in my inktober
sketchbook. You can see a lot more of the scale texture of the dragon than I got
in the final piece. But this was just my first time trying this technique so I
wanted somewhere to quickly see how that would turn out. Over here, another rough
page. I just wanted to look at some figure studies. This was one of those
days where I really just needed to draw something and this was an easy thing to
go to. This day I was drawing chickens and that turned into this drawing which
turned into this painting. I made 18 prints of this for my patrons, I had 17
go out and then this one I kept for myself. And then this this was another
random idea; just a painting for the sake of doing something kind of thing. So I
just drew a little fireplace and then painted it all from imagination. I quite
like how that turned out so I might do more things like that. And then we're at
the end- which was actually the first page that I did in here- which is when I
was testing out a few different media to see how this sketchbook took to them and
I have a video of the process of this and how I found the paper held up which
I'll have linked somewhere on screen and down below. And then right at the back
it's actually where I keep all the letters that I get from you guys like
throughout the course of having a sketchbook because I love going back
through old sketchbooks and I also love getting letters from you guys and it's
nice to have it all in one place. Each sketchbook represents a
chapter of my life and it's nice to have a little record of all the things I get
from you guys in there.
And for some reason, I really like to keep the envelopes as well. And then this
one is actually from Autumn who made my next sketchbook so I'll have a link to
her below. You'll probably have seen that sketchbook by now, I should be using it
by now. And yeah that is it for this video, thank you so much for watching, I
hope you enjoyed it. I know it's been a quick one. As I said, it's not
my favorite sketchbook but a lot of ideas came from this and a lot of
development came from this and I'm looking forward to sharing my next one with
you because it's going so well so far. I feel like I am finally on track to
mastering the keeping of a sketchbook. So thank you for watching, I will see you
soon for the next video! bye!
