I Loooooooooooooved this Sophie, travelling around with you from the comfort of my desk (no packing, no travel sickness, no homesickness but all the art and fun via you!!)
Your self-portrait at the end was so extraordinary, you really captured the emotions of your trip in your expression. I am very partial to your animal sketches and paintings also, just so full of feelings. And that group collab drawing was inspired, quite a memory for all. Wish I had been there in reality. ❤
You’re one of the only artists whose work brings years of joy to my eyes, Sophie! Your colors, your brushwork, the energy… absolutely inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. I hope I can go with you for something like this one day!
AN HOUR LONG VIDEO?? What a treat!! Took me twice as long tbh cause i was pausing the video and admiring your work hehe Im not good with watercolours, but you make it look so flowy and easy and fun, always makes me wanna use them asap
I’m OBSESSED with your sketchbook tours! Obsessed! I binge them all the time. You’re my most favorite artist on TH-cam. I love your channel and your art is just everything 2 me! 🩵🙌🏻
Wahhhh this was the JUICIEST!!! It was an absolute joy to watch this tour, and I am particularly in love with the waterville landscape & bus sketches, the cliffs of moher fineline with all of the swatching and patterns, Lucy at ross castle, and the moll's gap landscape!
Enjoyed video found it really interesting and interesting..thank you sooo much for showing us your travels and showing your creative art pieces and process of creating them.
What a wonderful time!😮 I'm so glad I could make it live and chat my way with everyone along the way. How special. Congrats on a lovely video and time. We all love you and your content so much ❤️
i love how your sketchbooks are a visual manifestation of your wonderful mind, sophie! i hope to reach your level of expertise and creative freedom, you are f'cking awesome
Sophiiiiie! I finally got around to watching it and I am amazed again and again by your creative mind and your beautiful sketches and paintings. It was such a joy to share all these moments with you and all the others. It was a real treat to experience the travel again through your sketchbook. Love you lots. ❤
Sorry I missed the live it was at 7 am in Germany and I had an appointment but I am here now and absoliutely excited for a whole tour! Amazing! I love this ❤ from the colours to the looseness to the playfulness and the light! Your way of doing things is really an inspiration for me as I am still too rigid. Love that you have this sketchbook now as a reminder of your wonderful trip!
OMG im so glad i found your TH-cam! i LOVE your art style and your video edit is so calming i cant wait to go through your videos and socials too see more amazing art!!!😍💚💚💚
I can feel your vibres from here! So lovely experience, thanks for sharing 🤩. Im in love with the use of greens that you have, Im not good with that or orange 🥲
I'm in love with your art style, and the way your sketchbook end up looking! Your scribbles and looseness inspire me so much, because I have the opposite tendency in my own art to make everything very stiff. Learning from you is a great experience.
Sophieeeee!! I loved this so very much. What a treat. You bring me so much joy. I am a Patreon but am going to switch to the tier where I get a print this month. It will be my first and I am so excited.
Just found you on my reommended! I really enjoy your colors :) I'm currently working on repairing my relationship with sketchbooking and seeing this is very inspiring and warming. Watching this vid feels like retrying a food you thought you didn't fancy but finding out it's actually really good~
Ah that’s really exciting!!! I’m so excited that you’re feeling the sparks! I love sketchbooks and talking about them! I hope you have a cosy time here 🌱
I also get motion sickness, I've found that Dramamine, ginger, and peppermints have been life savers! The colors and textures make me giddy, such a fun travel sketchbook!!
@@SophieMcPike Aw, I feel for you! One last thing (maybe it'll help you or another internet yucky tummy queen)...I noticed I get even more nauseated if I take Dramamine with Zyrtec. Apparently, you aren't supposed to mix it with antihistamines or sedatives. I'm glad you felt better the other days and could make lovely art! Always a pleasure to take a peek in your sketchbook. 🌈✨🍀
I LOVED THIS- your travel sketchbook is FABULOUS!! I am a huge fan of your work, always beautiful always inspiring 🤩 what makes this video even more special is that I just returned from an Ireland/London trip last night- same places too: Dublin, Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Kensington/greater London. Seeing all of these sketches was like seeing my own trip- totally freaky in the best possible way!! lol. Truly amazing trip, all of it!! I think I would’ve just flipped out completely if I had seen you there!!!! lol. I think our travel timelines were literally maybe days apart- unbelievable 😊
Omg I finally have a name for the feeling I feel when I’m excited but can’t focus on my art. lol the zoomies❤ it make sense why dogs get these 😂 loved this sketch book btw it’s so sweet and beautiful.
That was so much fun! Thank you, Sophie! Do you ever find it interrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrresting how sometimes, what we do not like in our sketches and pages, others are very drawn towards? Taste. Likes. Dislikes. So unpredictable. Looks like a really good time had by all! Cheers to that! MORE good times!
Oh wow, this sketchbook is a treasure trove! Every spread is so beautiful 😍 I'm actually about to embark on a 2 week European trip (Copenhagen, various places in Croatia, and Zurich) and this is definitely something I want to do to capture the memories.
Sophie, thanks so much for sharing your sketchbook!! I got my first Stillman & Birn sketchbook Zeta series! so, so excited and a full set of Neocolor IIs are arriving in a few days; so, so excited..a few tombows to try, and my first daniel smith watercolors and some winsor & newton cotman watercolors. Visited the Dick BLICK art store in person in the U.S. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the first time with my best friend, Janet, and we went on an art shopping spree!! I was inspired by your fabulous trip! So happy you had such a wonderful experience, and I hope to see you traveling the world again next year, so you can share with us here on TH-cam along with all your artsy adventure in between. Absolutely love your art style and your talent is so inspiring and uplifting to me personally, and I look forward to each and every video! Thanks for all you do! until next time...
Aw, Sophieeeeeeeeee this was amazing🤩 I couldn’t wait to have a nice lazy Saturday morning to sit in my jammies and watch with a cuppa coffee before the chaos of the rest of day took hold of me🫢 I could leave a super long comment about every single gorgeous page and your cute little nose whistle (still cracks me up that you highlight those😙👃🏽) I love that you overpacked the supplies and basically only used markers and watercolors. Don’t we all do this? Your landscapes are so incredible and magical, the way you capture light and shadows and how they’re realistic yet still 100% in your unique style. I still can’t get over that you have NO bumble bees? How? What? Why? Who is pollinating Australia’s plants? Do have swarms of butterflies and hummingbirds to do the job? How are they in Tazmania but not in AU? I can’t stop thinking about this😂Also, if you and Lucy want to come over and play at my house I have so many squirrels of all different sizes and colors in my yard and I feed them and the birds (and the raccoons and the possums😂) everyday. They’re my backyard buddies😉Toodles👋❤
We have tonnes of other pollinating bees!!! HEAPS! Hahaha and butterflies! We just don’t have the bumble bee species. The bumbles were introduced in Tasmania and aren’t great for the ecosystem, they cause issues for the native bees. Hehehe!! I love your comments!! 💗💗💗
@@SophieMcPike Ahh, I see!☝️😄Mystery solved! So there arrrre beezzzz, just not the fluffy cute ones we have here (who, if they’re still enough, I do pet because I cannot resist that cute fuzz 🥰)
Sophie!! Omg that was such a lovely video... I feel like I went along with you!! It must have taken you ages to edit ahaha it was so beautiful. ❤❤❤ I don't know what else to say I'm just so flabbergasted by all this beauty. ❤
I'm so happy to have found your channel . . . I LOVE your sketchbooks! Since I still work full time, I'm looking for a fun, easy way to practice my art that won't take hours! May I ask what type of travel watercolor box you used? I see the little blue case with the pots of paint and I am intrigued! Thanks so much!
Oooh you’ll have to check out my last video about the supplies I took on the trip with me. That little blue case is a non brand cheap thing. But if you google small empty palettes you might find something similar
I Loooooooooooooved this Sophie, travelling around with you from the comfort of my desk (no packing, no travel sickness, no homesickness but all the art and fun via you!!)
I love that it felt like that for you!!!!!! That's so nice!!!
I'm excited to show you Scotland next!
Your self-portrait at the end was so extraordinary, you really captured the emotions of your trip in your expression. I am very partial to your animal sketches and paintings also, just so full of feelings. And that group collab drawing was inspired, quite a memory for all. Wish I had been there in reality. ❤

This sketchbook is FUUUUUULL of inspirations! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Sophieeeee!! I loved this so very much. What a treat. You bring me so much joy. I am a Patreon but am going to switch to the tier where I get a print this month. It will be my first and I am so excited.
Oh that’s so exciting!!! This print and sticker combo is so NICE! One of my faves so far!!
I'm only 6 minutes in and already loving everything about this video.❤
Amazing! 🤩
The most delicious art I've laid eyes on today, my gosh. 🌻🐦⬛ Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
So nice of you!!! Thank youuu!!!
I love your art style, thank you for the video! 💚
Thank you! 😊
Just found you on my reommended! I really enjoy your colors :) I'm currently working on repairing my relationship with sketchbooking and seeing this is very inspiring and warming. Watching this vid feels like retrying a food you thought you didn't fancy but finding out it's actually really good~
Ah that’s really exciting!!! I’m so excited that you’re feeling the sparks! I love sketchbooks and talking about them! I hope you have a cosy time here 🌱
I love your bew videos with all the little animations and creativity! Thanks for sharing your sketchbook with us xxx
Thank you!!!!!
“Preblobinated” ❤😂 My first time to watch your videos. It was so fun! Thank you.
Hehe thank you!!!
Beautiful paintings and landscapes! 💚
loved the tour :) thanks for sharing
I also get motion sickness, I've found that Dramamine, ginger, and peppermints have been life savers! The colors and textures make me giddy, such a fun travel sketchbook!!
Believe me, I’ve tried it all! Ginger is my favourite for sure though! Simple is often best!!!
Thank youuuuuux
@@SophieMcPike Aw, I feel for you! One last thing (maybe it'll help you or another internet yucky tummy queen)...I noticed I get even more nauseated if I take Dramamine with Zyrtec. Apparently, you aren't supposed to mix it with antihistamines or sedatives. I'm glad you felt better the other days and could make lovely art! Always a pleasure to take a peek in your sketchbook. 🌈✨🍀

I think I would’ve just flipped out completely if I had seen you there!!!! lol. I think our travel timelines were literally maybe days apart- unbelievable 😊
That’s so funny!!! I did run into two people who recognised me over there! Which just completely blows my mind!!!! ✨✨✨
Omg I finally have a name for the feeling I feel when I’m excited but can’t focus on my art. lol the zoomies❤ it make sense why dogs get these 😂 loved this sketch book btw it’s so sweet and beautiful.
Hahah! i get the zoomies a lot! Not as much as my two greyhounds do though XD
I am looking forward to the last campfire. Bought in a sale and been saving it for fall
That was so much fun! Thank you, Sophie! Do you ever find it interrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrresting how sometimes, what we do not like in our sketches and pages, others are very drawn towards? Taste. Likes. Dislikes. So unpredictable. Looks like a really good time had by all! Cheers to that! MORE good times!
So true! And it’s really interesting to see!!! Hahah
what a fun fun tour !!

Oooh have the best time!!!
Brown is my favorite color.
Brown is literally the best
Love it💚
Ahhhh Sophie, I love it all so much! I think you're going to make a book of this? Can't wait to get one! ❤
I am! Working on it already :)
Love , Love ,FREAKIN LOVED it. Thank you dearest heart. Fave was the painting you hated and then loved, please make tee shirts from this. Thx.
YOU CUTIEEEE! THANK YOU.
Tees would be v cute
Oh yes, and a big sweet hoodie for this winter, I'd LOVE it !!!

Breaking the Neo’s is like a dagger in my soul. 😫😫😫
Now they have a friend!!! haha
Am I the only one obsessed with the blue/green palette tin on the side? I love all those colors together and the tray it's in! What is all that???
oooooh you better check out the video i did before this about packing the art supplies I took with me :)

@@SophieMcPike thank you !!
Such a beautiful sketchbook! How about doing a printed copy like your fortuna travel journal, which I recently received and love?
Yep! It’s happening! And for the Scotland one (which I haven’t shown yet)!
Omg thanks for this video perfect to watch and relax alsooo what’s the paint brush you used with the art graph to make those buildings? 😊
I think it’s a royal and langnickel one, size 0 maybe? Not sure! Just a fine soft synthetic will do it
Will you make a sticker of the self portrait or a print?
Probably not XD but if you want a print, send me an email or DM and I can make it happen 😘
I think I may have asked before, but what type of instax film is that? The colors are nice
it's just normal instax! I think my film is past its best before or got a big ruined XD
I think Ireland has 30,000 castles
Holy crap! That’s a lot!
@@SophieMcPike yes! And all of ireland is 32k sq miles. It’s like one for every square mile 🙀. Your video is amazing btw.
