i bought a travel sketchbook for a weekend event, ending up drawing two pigeons and the bus time screen. XD the unrealstic expectation was i would be drawing prize winning Clydesdale horses and the the awesome latest tractors and farm machinery. (this was scotland royal highland show) Truth is for a traveling you are mainly going to be....travelling!! i love that it took you two months to fill 48 (single side) pages, and it was enough. if you had told me how many pages Mr Chroma would need i would have said 200+ pages prior to this video. Thank you for this video, i hope you are now enjoying your own bed and space at home.
If you ever have the time, would you consider doing a Poster paint tutorial? I love what you did in your sketchbook! I am very interested in getting into Poster paints, but having only ever really drawn and never painted, I have no idea where to start, or how to do it! 😅
Been obsessed with art since a kid but I out it down out of frustration and a poor mentality. I'm back at it at 31 and I feel more islnspired than ever. TH-cam is such a great source of inspiration and resources for artists ita like heaven
Wow kenn, this is another amazing sketchbook. I love your videos, and I started inking because of you! 9 months in, I am soooo much better and I wish I had more money to join your class 😢. Best of luck.
Wow I need to travel just to make a sketchbook for it! Your art is absolutely gorgeous by the way! I can feel your interest in the things you sketch just by looking at them
this was such a blast to watch :) thank you for inserting so much footage in between pages, it made the drawings even cooler ♥️ and thank you for the disclaimer not to compare our travel sketchbook with yours 😄
This was such a fun video to watch! I love seeing your sketches and paintings and then the videos of the same places. It’s cool to see things through your eyes and see your take on everything. When I travel, I usually write in a journal everyday and keep little items like tickets, business cards, etc. I take tons of photos, maybe do some very rough sketching and then I leave space for more drawings so that when I get home, I can go back through, clean up my sketches a little and paint more studies from the photos I took
Please make a video on the travelers notebook! I’ve been thinking about getting one (for drawing) so having it from an artist perspective would be great 👍
I just experienced this exact thing tonight while figure drawing in timed sessions. The day before my 30sec sketches were so stiff and forced. Today they looked so inviting, flowing and with curves and emotion. And it was just quick little lines. I notes the changes and made sure to critique and look back and give myself a personal sketch book tour. It was really eye opening and rewarding. Thank you for sharing your art and showing us how your skills are always always evolving and improving. 😊
I purchased a traveler's notebook for personal journaling a few years ago but I have been neglecting it for a while since I haven't been feeling it lately. Watching your process was really inspiring, and I think I'm going to use it more often and do some more studies outside. Since I have spare paper lying around, I think I'll make or bind my own insert so I can do more painting. Thanks for sharing!!
It's so cool to see all the ideas that can come out when you go to a different place for awhile. I have a Midori sketchbook, but it is not part of the Midori Sketchbook System™, just a lonely book. Some of it seems kinda pricey (could be because it is imported) so I'd certainly be interested in finding out more about it, because the sketchbook itself has been great.
I love that you put "non-sketch elements" (as what my old art professor would say) in your sketchbook! I do the same! I love incorporating them into sketches or even just sticking them onto a page next to a sketch I did:) I think it gives your pages more character and it's always fun to look back at that ticket or receipt from wherever you went because after all, they are essentially little souvenirs:,)
That piece you did with your scans and textures, OH MA MAN its soooo gorgeous. I loved your poster paintings as well 😍 its very cool to see how much you experiment and challenge your skillset in your sketchbooks, your work is so high concept (i dont know the right term but like photobash, 3d everything goes and the images are so beautifully rendered, i loved watching your video in the west studio vimeo) but you also do a great job at those more stylized painting styles. Keep up my man
As always, your sketchbook is so inspiring, I really love your sketching style. I’m starting an illustration degree in September, and one of my goals is to sketch more (especially with dip pens), and it’s your videos that have gotten me interested in this medium so thank you! I also really like the poster paintings, the colours are beautiful and are reminiscing of those dreamy aesthetics in the Ghibelline films. I’d love to see where/ if you take this style in the future :D
This sketchbook is so well filled up and it tells so much about your travelling, i Really enjoy it! :D Also providing videos of the experiences and explaining why you chose to draw specific subjects and landscapes is truly including the viewer as well, making me feel almost as if i actually have been there as welll!! :D Very nice video man, with this one you gained my sub to your channel! ^^
I love your art, and I love that your channle grew so much. Ive been watching for years now and you are one of if not my favorite art related youtube channle. But I have a question, how did you achieve this WONDERFUL film-esque video footage? It looks like 16mm but the colors come out so nice.
feeling really inspired after seeing the format the sketchbook is, that kinda long pages an not just standard A4 and A5 + can i just say your hands look really pretty (not in a creepy way they just look nice)
Beautiful! Love how you placed the sketches in the vertical format. Does the sketch paper insert buckle with water media, or does it hold itself well? I've been looking into Traveler's notebooks, would appreciate your overview if you decide to make a video about it
I'm really curious about the traveler's notebook system as sketchbook, I haven't seen much people usign it that way. Yours is just majestic ✨ Id like to know more about how you use it
@@felidae1317 oh cool thanks. yeah, it looked like gouache paint to me but I’d never heard of poster paint. in north america, that would usually refer to cheap water-based paints for kids and this is clearly nicer than that.
I love this! I was wondering, do you have any issues with the poster paint sticking to the pages of your sketchbook? I know some poster paint is acrylic and I was worried about it sticking like typical acrylic paint. Thanks for the video!
I have the habit to take my small sketchbook everywhere because I have a rather long commute, so of course it's in my bag when I travel too, but I rarely actually draw in it when I am on the go. And if I do most sketches are fast garbage sketches, that I can (maybe) salvage with some gouache paint later at home or in the holiday apartment. or they just stay garbage that reminds me of something cool I saw. haha Especially when travelling with other people, you can't expect them to patiently wait for you to finish a 2-3h breath-taking sketchbook spread. that's just not realistic. most of the time the patience is just enough for a 5-10 minutes. XD
Hey. Do you have any time for sessions? I've been drawing for the last two years and have gotten pretty advanced in refrence drawing, but I want to break from that an draw from imagination. I need some adivce and direction. Hope you could give me or severeal people the chance to show you what we do and get som feedback and help. You're doing an amazing job, keep going!

"I miss my bed" at the ends of two months of travel noted down in your sketchbook is a MOOD.
Amazing book. Your mech drawings are really cool.

I absolutely love the "i miss my bed" at the end. Best ending to a book of any kind
definitely interested in hearing more about the traveler's notebook system! thanks for sharing your sketchbook :D
same here!
Sure thing!
Thanks for the honesty in managing expectations. Its helps in learning to just bring a sketch book to doodle in and not hold onto any expectations.
Wow, Kenn, your artwork is awesome as always! Your videos inspired me to try ink and it's my favourite now. Thanks!
Great to hear! That's awesome! ^^
Wow kenn, this is another amazing sketchbook. I love your videos, and I started inking because of you! 9 months in, I am soooo much better and I wish I had more money to join your class 😢. Best of luck.
Also could someone tell me how to send him can art? I did a gouache painting of him…I want to show him sooooo bad
@@afterimage1993 dm on insta?
I also got into ink painting bc of him
DM it to me on Twitter or Instagram!
Where can I find more info on these class that you’re talking about?
I’ll try. As of right now I don’t have insta
Kenn, these videos are my favorite. You’ve made me start drawing again. Thank you so much. I’m so glad you’re back to TH-cam.
I'm so glad!
Wow I need to travel just to make a sketchbook for it!
Your art is absolutely gorgeous by the way! I can feel your interest in the things you sketch just by looking at them
best sketchbook by far, love the contrast between de drawings and the paintings

You should make a video on the different sketchbooks that you’ve used and the pros and cons of each.
Thank you for sharing this journey. Very inspiring. I really like that you also added footage of the places you visited.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Please make a video on the travelers notebook! I’ve been thinking about getting one (for drawing) so having it from an artist perspective would be great 👍
Will do!!

I'm definitely inspired to use my travelers journal for art now. Although I have the smaller passport one, I'll most likely upgrade in the future
Use both sides and make it a bigger piece. Always looks so cool like that

Enjoyed hearing your thought process. So inspired
Hey I was wondering if you could make a short video or something talking about how to hold your pencil correctly
I travel for work so I am always taking time to draw.

What are all those taped things on his book for ?
So inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Your Sky take is too real!
Beautiful! Love how you placed the sketches in the vertical format. Does the sketch paper insert buckle with water media, or does it hold itself well? I've been looking into Traveler's notebooks, would appreciate your overview if you decide to make a video about it
I hope everything goes well for you and you stay well. :)
Hey, could make a vidoe about how u set up ur camera to film a sketchbook tour
I'm really curious about the traveler's notebook system as sketchbook, I haven't seen much people usign it that way. Yours is just majestic ✨ Id like to know more about how you use it
Very very cool! Watching this was very inspiring and relaxing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'am Indonesian thankyou for visiting Bali :) nice to know u I enjoyed your video :" btw I use travelers notebook too for my journal and sketch :"
Wow so aesthetically pleasing. Why do you have the paper taped over some drawings ?
Awesome video dude you drawing never cease to inspire me thanks so much keep up the great work
Happy to hear that!
love it
Really cool sketch book man. How was the climbing there? it looked really fun.
this is such an amazing video, nice job and awesome art!
I’m uncertain what you mean when you say “poster paint.” Can you link to a particular brand? Thank you! Love your videos.
He probably used Gouache. Look Up "Nicker Paint" or "Nicker Poster Colour".
Cheap version: Himi Gouache.
@@felidae1317 oh cool thanks. yeah, it looked like gouache paint to me but I’d never heard of poster paint. in north america, that would usually refer to cheap water-based paints for kids and this is clearly nicer than that.
What settings/filters are you using on your camera? Everything has a nice red rim glow on it, thanks
I love this! I was wondering, do you have any issues with the poster paint sticking to the pages of your sketchbook? I know some poster paint is acrylic and I was worried about it sticking like typical acrylic paint. Thanks for the video!
Wow, that's very generous of you to shout out an smaller artist like Akira Toriyama. He does have some decent artwork not gonna lie
Hopefully he gets an anime adaptation soon.
Nice video, I would like to see more of traveler’s sketchbook set up. Is the paper of traveler’s company?
Great art
a mech is always a must 😁😂
Awesome video. What was the scanning app on your phone called?
Just found your channel.. Your sketchbook is amazing! Love your style 👌 🔥 Xoonani
what poster paint did you use? Great job on the entire sketchbook, btw.
And please make the travel sketchbook vid!
Your designs are amazing have you ever turned them into comics or something?
that is really amazing!🤩
Your videos are very inspiring, thank you 🧡
You are so welcome!

this is fire. what poster paints do you use?
They're Pentel poster paints :)
What poster paints would you recommend?
Amazing
You are
damn the paintings are beautiful. what paints are those?
What type of paint did you use for the posters?
I'm a simple man. I see barong, I click
what blue ink and poster paint do you like to use (brand and supplies for the paint) thank you!
So damn good, quite inspiring
