How does one sketchbook? Good question, in my personal experience: *one doesn't* One merely slowly hoards sketchbooks while quietly being overwhelmed by the pressure of having all of these sketchbooks shouting "give me purpose father,"
the fact that rory has a rat is amazing, but i am a rat nerd and i feel the urge to tell you (politely) that rats should always be in at least pairs or else theyll get depressed. i feel like rory wouldnt want her rat to be depressed so what if you gave her two rats, Abraham and Lincoln. i feel like that would be funny lmao
IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW ANDY IS BLIND and WEAR CONTACTS??? HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN ANDY WITH GLASSES BEFORE TODAY?? Petition for Oliver to draw Andy with glasses eventually.
"We were in highschool, so obviously, what else would it be signed? Their name? No." I thought that I couldn't feel anymore called out after that whammy of a title, but alas, here we are.
how does one sketchbook? to answer your question, personally, I sketchbook by crying, using my tears as water for my watercolors, and then cry some more cause I suck at watercolors. Hope this helps!
Oliver: "It's hard now getting into Halloween, I don't have friends to throw a party with." *deja vU* rewatching sketchbook tour 15: Oliver: "It's hard getting into the Halloween spirit; I don't have friends to throw a party with." exact same wording at the end lmao
"How does one sketch book" * stares at my closet, with my three unfinished sketch books * You tell me (also, I was kinda thinking you wouldn't upload today, because of Monday's video. But, I guess that was a bonus?)
Video ideas: -redrawing old art -how to study realism -sketchbook tips and tricks -Character design process (redo) -inspiration and motivation for art -how to gain confidence in your own art (This was just some fun video ideas idk just though I’d share 😗)
Its so cool to see how much you pushed yourself to improve. Watching your art style improve to fit your liking was really inspiring, you've inspired me and most likely others to push themselves to try new things and experiment with their styles. Thank you for being an inspiration Oliver!
greywick was one of my biggest inspos when i first started traditional art too so i clocked that straight away haha, its cool that we were both inspired by them :D this was a rly entertaining video !
looking at how you critique your own art is really useful in seeing my own problems in my art now. I’m about the same age as you were when you originally made those two sketchbooks, and your insight is really useful and inspirational. every time I watch one of your videos it makes me want to create art.
For me Halloween moved from the typical kid thing with trick and treat and dressing up at school and such to just a particular mood and style. It starts the warm socks and hot chocolate season and it always gets me into the mood to draw creepy and dark things. While drinking hot chocolate. Probably my favourite time of the year.
Drawing was my coping mechanism in school too, and because of that I also didn't get a lot of work done or achieve good grades. It's always been something I'm lowkey ashamed of, but I'm starting to see that it was just how I kept myself happy. :' ) It's so nice to hear that someone else has gone through something similar.
ok but the roasting yourself for leaving tons of pages empty or partially empty I FELTTTTTT. I just go back and I'm like "omg who was i....this is atrocious". Also omggggg how cute your OCs from the beginning!! I often think about that even when I draw mine now like "hmm...I wonder how much you'll change in the next few years..."
me: pauses the video as it's loading to look through the comments first (fight me) Oliver: drops sketchbook Me: SCREAMS *not realizing it didn't actually pause* Me: spends 5 minutes looking for my cat bc I thought he knocked something over Me: .... OH
i started actually keeping my sketchbooks in college but way before that i would tear pages out of sketchbooks (if i used one at all, often i used printer paper lol) and save the individual pages rather than the whole thing. i have a big box full of old drawings going all the way back to 6th grade! i remember thinking so many of them were like, the best thing i've ever drawn i'm so good, but now a lot of them are kinda bad hehe! i'm glad i saved them though, it's fun to see how far i've come in 15 years
ah yes i finally got a youtube account and I could finally subscribe!! Ive been dreading to ever since I saw your hair tutorial vid, anyways that's all i wanted to say! Have a nice dayy :D
I got emotional seeing the beginnings of your characters and I haven't even been here for that long. I imagine you got all the feels with that, Oliver! Can't wait to see the redraw videos! Also, I'm watching Fairy Tail now (because of you) and I'm currently watching the Magic Games arc so I literally screamed when I saw your fanart of Sabertooth!! My god, I hate them but those dragon slayers have STYLE! Oh and that one drawing of Andy and Lucca that you tried to look past made me literally lol hahaha! You should redraw that one *wink wink*
If you want that scrapbookish feel to your sketchbook one thing ye gotta do is just give zero fucks. What I do is I go through it steadily. I sometimes fill pages and other times I leave them nearly blank. Just focus on ONWARD MEN. Do what you like and don’t look back. Once you reach the end, START AGAIN. Go back to page one. Go back and colour whatever little sketches you like. Add new ones in spaces. Just go through it. Find loose sketches and cut and stick em in. Use a lot of glue and tape. Masking tape is best. If there is anything you especially hate then stick over it and make something u like. Use paint, makeup, markers, colour pencils, biro, USE BLOOD. SLAP SOME STICKERS OR OLD TICKETS. Fill some pages with completely finished drawing all dancey. slap in a receipt and personify the items on said receipt. HAVE FUN. Don’t draw anything u don’t wanna draw. Make windows in a page or so. Just go maddddddd.
When new notification comes up from Oliver Antics and I have just been practising my anatomy drawings me: Eeeeeeeeee!!! What a coincidence! My friends: ...... She's weird like all of us.
I think Abraham (Rory’s Rat) should have a ‘friend’, because rats shouldn’t be housed alone IRL. Though maybe Abraham is a rare case of not wanting anything but undivided love.
(posting two, because why not) Not sure if people use this anymore or not. But back when... I was on the 4kids forums (my first real taste of social media). I remember people said "fan characters" instead of "OCs" I personally, kinda prefer that. But "fan OCs", is also ok... Mostly because I don't think the term "fan character", was/is really common (I think I remember also seeing a post on, DeviantART, and maybe it was used on Fanfiction(.)net, but that's about it)
There's a difference between 'fan-character' and 'oc'. A fan-character is a character you have created to fit in an already existing realm (ex. an oc you made that lives in the world of avatar), meanwhile an oc is a character you have created to fit in your own original realm.
I used to hate fan oc's, but then I realized I just disliked how people made overpowered self-inserts with unrealistic qualities. Self-inserts are okay as long as they aren't Mary-sues
I love watching other people's old art videos because I currently Don't have access to my own old art. and also kicks me in the ass because I have been meaning to film a sketchbook tour of my own since last year goddamnit I need to stop procrastinating (/lh)
Quick question. What art supplies did you use/use now? I really only have a pencil (and obviously a eraser) and like ya know colouring crayons and some markers and a sketchbook, you can still make decent stuff out of that but like I feel like yours look so much more cleaner idk how to describe it.
while no I was not in highschool or even middle school at that in 2016, I as well was obsessed with voltron. Funny part is I didn’t actually watch It until 2017-2018 around but I was still somehow obsessed- Well I am still obsessed but oh well
How does one sketchbook?
Good question, in my personal experience:
*one doesn't*
One merely slowly hoards sketchbooks while quietly being overwhelmed by the pressure of having all of these sketchbooks shouting "give me purpose father,"
I struggled to read this for a solid 10 minutes but now that I have i can say, me too
Wow I feel very called out right now
im in
the process of thirteen sketchbooks right now so um
relation moment
i i swear i had no sketchbooks at the beginning of the year 😢
I'm in this comment, and I don't like it
Why does this feel to real?
Okay but seriously, you may cringe at your old art but I'm still amazed aT HOW YOU WERE STILL AMAZING
IKR even his old arts are amazing
Same tho his art looks super good, also he improved a lot! :)
I KNOWW
“HOW DOES ONE SKETCHBOOK” one of many questions we ask the universe
the fact that rory has a rat is amazing, but i am a rat nerd and i feel the urge to tell you (politely) that rats should always be in at least pairs or else theyll get depressed. i feel like rory wouldnt want her rat to be depressed so what if you gave her two rats, Abraham and Lincoln. i feel like that would be funny lmao
Oh my god thank you for this information. I'll make another rat baby asap
@@OliversAntics69 please keep us posted, Oliver. This is very important.
IS NO ONE GONNA TALK ABOUT HOW ANDY IS BLIND and WEAR CONTACTS??? HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN ANDY WITH GLASSES BEFORE TODAY??
Petition for Oliver to draw Andy with glasses eventually.
when you think about it, sketchbooks are kinda weird. they're these big empty books that you fill with little drawings
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm--------------
"We were in highschool, so obviously, what else would it be signed? Their name? No." I thought that I couldn't feel anymore called out after that whammy of a title, but alas, here we are.
i like that you almost always used to draw andy at the same angle bc of their hairstyle lmao
Me when I finish the video: Well those were the best fucking 40 minutes I've breathed
Looking at my old art like, I DREW THIS IN PUBLIC
Okay but to be fair, frosch always kinda looks like they’re staring into your soul.
how does one sketchbook?
to answer your question, personally, I sketchbook by crying, using my tears as water for my watercolors, and then cry some more cause I suck at watercolors. Hope this helps!
I don't know if anyone noticed, but the lighting is so much better
Oliver: "It's hard now getting into Halloween, I don't have friends to throw a party with."

(also, I was kinda thinking you wouldn't upload today, because of Monday's video. But, I guess that was a bonus?)
It's crazy to see your old art, especially watching the Andy gang growing to what they are.
WAKE UP BABE NEW OLIVER VIDEO
oliver : **draws andy and luca literally kissing**
oliver : no no they are just two bros chillin in a hot tub
Fr
why does everyone have one of those exact ginormous sketchbooks--
Because they cost like $10 at Walmart and handle most art supplies😂
Becuase they're very versatile and easy to find.
Yesssss, another super long old sketchbook tour. Love watching these.
Im going to college for animation and you really inspire me thank you for posting
Oliver, you exposed yourself with those Andy and Lucca's drawings

I really love seeing your art. I could look at it all day. you inspire me so much
Yo Oliver spoiling us with these longer videos

HE THOUGHT HE COULD ESCAPE!!!
(I literally choked on my own spit)😂😂
I absolutely love your current and old art! 😌💕
17:41 I’m glad somebody else loves final fantasy xiii
Hey that’s a Lumine pfp
@@ris8065 Yes indeed
Ive been on a binge of looking at all your old sketchbook videos, and its nice that you now have another! Its as if you knew...
I love how I'm not the only one who gets over the top excited when I find the first concept art for a current oc-
For me Halloween moved from the typical kid thing with trick and treat and dressing up at school and such to just a particular mood and style. It starts the warm socks and hot chocolate season and it always gets me into the mood to draw creepy and dark things. While drinking hot chocolate. Probably my favourite time of the year.
For old sketchbooks, you have really refined and detail designs, you are an inspiration! keep up the good work.
I didn't realize the title was asking how to make a sketchbook. I spent ten minutes trying to figure out.
Then I read the comments.
Never in a million years I expected to have the same type of sketchbook as a youtuber..
I should give myself a pat on the back
Ok but I’m just amazing by your art I found your channel yesterday and I’m so so happy I did
god seeing all that Voltron art brought back how OBSESSED i was with Keith XD
your Voltron art. chefs kiss! but season 8 still has me messed up and its been 3 maybe 4 years now
Andy and I are birthday buds!
I’ve been redrawing a ton of old art and puking so I sadly do not know the art of sketchbooking
Drawing was my coping mechanism in school too, and because of that I also didn't get a lot of work done or achieve good grades.

Me: SCREAMS *not realizing it didn't actually pause*
Me: spends 5 minutes looking for my cat bc I thought he knocked something over
Me: .... OH
Your old at is really good, it’s cool to see how much you have improved! 💕
OMG YOU’RE OBSESSED WITH FAIRY TAIL TOO-Ugh-I just yesssss

You inspired me to draw a little bit later this evening. I have like 5 oc's and i don't even draw them at all :(
Your profile pic gives me nostalgia

Grey wick was also my inspiration I’m sad they don’t have any new videos 😔😭
