Finally an actual SKETCH-book...i hate all those super clean "sketchbooks" with everything neat and tidy and basically done artworks. Best episode so far.
Yeah, that just makes it very intimidating. Lots of people advise drawing in a sketchbook, but I think for most aspiring artists that is the worst advice possible. Better to sketch on loose sheets and napkins and throwaway stuff and in books you don't like. That way the sketches are never inhibited.
I think you shouldn't get upset about people having too "clean" sketchbooks. It's just that at some point they got so good that their sketchs look like done artworks to us, but they still are sketchs to them.
@@HinTXDesign Not really upset, I guess I worded it pretty strongly. And yes, they may be so good that to them it's easy, but my point is that it is very important to have a place where experimentation is possible without too much of an inner critic and with no expectations and no quality standards. Most sketchbooks I see online are proper works of art with no flaws, no trial and error, no multiple versions, etc. This gets people into the wrong headspace. Even those great artists experiment aand need to try out new stuff and styles. They more than likely have sketchbooks or sketches lying around that don't look so fabulous because that wasn't the point of the sketch. They may or may not show them, but it's important to realize that your experimentation will always be far freer if it is not in a book preceded by 30 wonderful drawings. Then you will always take fewer risks not to ruin the overall level of the book.
@@CaptainFutureman totally disagree with that advice. napkins and stuff would be the most inhibited, what the heck, u ever try to draw on a napkin? sure its fun for tic-tok -toe while u r waiting for dinner or fun little drawing games but telling people to chose stuff like that over actual sketch books? sketch books are pretty much the opposite of what you said. they offer the artist the flexibility to draw anywhere with good quality paper that can be later archived. they can be used as reference hell, passed around and shared. get a good sketchbook going and it can do wonders for your confidence and motivation to get back to drawing. hell, someone i look up to very much drew me something on a napkin once. i was able to hang onto it for maybe about a day and never saw it or him again. your original statement is complete utter ass backwards bonkers to me.
The thing that has struck me most about all the artists in this _Sketchbook_ series, is how humble/modest and (even in some cases) insecure they all are. It's lovely to see that despite their incredible talent, they're all so down to earth and unpretentious 😊 Whereas you get these flash in the pan social media celebs and 1 hit wonder musicians who put themselves on SUCH a pedestal - and they wouldn't know talent if it punched them on the nose! 🙄
I really appreciate seeing the sketch and the rendered artwork. We’ve all seen beautifully rendered images, but seeing the sketch is a little like seeing the wizard behind the curtain. It’s also a reminder that we shouldn’t give up on a piece too early. Time and dedication can truly turn them into something inspiring. 10:00
Couldn't agree more.I find these sketchbooks tours make me quite frustrated. Just leave the camera 90% of the time on the straight view of the sketchbook PLEASE!
@@tdtm104 Exactly! Just what I was going to comment. Give us a good view 90% of the time and use the other 10 for shots of the artist and any artsy weird angles and super shallow depth of field stuff the editor wants to mix it up and keep it moving.
I feel so sleepy listening to this, it's like a bedtime story.. it feels like I'm in a blanket with my dad sitting beside the bed, telling an adventure of a person I wouldn't know about.. so complex yet very calming.
This is my favourite episode to date. Love his honesty and warmth and how he talks about process, humility and creativity. Makes me feel inspired to oick up my art and draw again. Thank You!

I love that Karla Ortiz will laugh and appreciate all of what the artists are saying, and even chat with them a bit while they are explaining about their art, but she will never put her thoughts nor opinions on the conversation. She truly knows how to give the "microphone" to them while verbally keeping them company at the same time.
Crash is a humble genius. I knew him in San Luis Obispo back in the 80s. He was always such as sweet and intelligent friend. I had a genuine man crush. He was a person who everyone wanted to be around. He was an amazing musician and artist and funny as hell. Wish I had kept in contact with him. Good times. Great guy. I totally remember his “do di do” all the time.
It's very nice to see an artist of his caliber still struggle with self doubt and picking apart their own work. Shows he's still just an artist like all of us, just more refined
Hi to y'all. ".ZeS." from Madrid, Spain (fellow artist and a New Yorker expat living abroad). I must say... I have connected (mentally) with Crash McCreery!!! OMG! His mind works in similar ways than mine... and it has been difficult for me to find a good "mentor" (virtually - I am self taught and always learning) that can help me grow in what I want to express. And I have found one right now! I will defenitly research him and his work. I don't know how to express what I felt when I saw his sketchbooks... it just resonated into my soul and my mind. Thank you for this AMAZING series of Artists and their sketchbooks!!! There are so many amazing artists to learn from... It really helps us all, big time! Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎
F**k yeah, I'd like to see that Pirates of The Caribbean ride come to life!!! Crash, you haven't changed a bit! Always so humble with that infectious laughter that lights up a room! I'm so glad to see you doing all these projects! I hope one day we'll see one another again soon! This episode was awesome btw!
I just gotta say I love watching other artist with their sketch books or live drawings of art. Every artist have given me inspiration to be more of my own artist and enjoy what I do.
This guy is definition of pure joy from making art. The way he laughs at his own drawings and ideas is totaly wholesome :D perfect episode, thank you THU!!
I really enjoyed the camera work here!!! You really get to feel like you are sitting right next to him. I would ve wanted a few things to be different but overall great job - very pleasant to watch and you get to experience the artist's personality and not just their art.
Oh my gosh!! Crash! Thank you THU a thousand times for this. I would freak out if I saw these sketchbooks in person 😍Crash always comes across as such a fun dude and doesn’t get all his success get to his head. 🤗 And I often see comments about Karla when she does these. Guys...if you’ve seen any interview with her, Karla is, like, such a down-to-earth person and in these interviews, she just seems legit having a great time talking with fellow artists. Just my 2 cents.
Amazing video! Amazing artist and amazing cameraman/woman. This was the most interestingly filmed interview ever! I've never seen camera work compliment something so static before in such a beautiful way! Congrats!
i feel so sad knowing i left drawing or art in general because i was dissatisfied and felt down that i couldnt draw something better, i was a kid and thought i didnt have a talent for it, if only i had the courage to stick to it knowing the small progress through consistency could've yield to fruitful achievement like being able to draw what i imagine in my mind.. im now 22 and i started to pickup my pencil again to start, now im not quiting no matter how bad i do and no matter how many years it'll take.. i just to see the characters and images that i imagine be drawn.
What he said about looking at the horizon is really accurate. I'm currently working at a slaughter house, it's a insane workplace and the only thing that calms me down, when things get too heavy, is sitting in this little space between the cutting room and the cooling chamber's walls* and just looking at the horizon of the place. *Edited.
bonkeringly amazing, "jaw-drop to the floor" art by a warm wholesome artist.. just what i needed to see. also i would sell a kidney to see all his sketchbooks in person!
truly amazing. love the energy, just choking back the laughter the whole time. I really wish there were artsy bars near me. if anyone knows any in new jersey lmk
saw him in in a line at lightbox and the only words i could muster were, "OH! CRASH!", and he smiled and introduced himself and i think i was just taken so aback by his complete lack of arrogance and pure kindness i think my circuits fried and it ended up being really awkward, but something ill certainly never forget
Absolutely appreciate this inside look into an amazing artist and his outlook on art and life.I wish it didn't come with motion sickness due to all the cutaways.I also do not understand why seeing up someones nose and able to count every pore makes for better visuals.?
Patrizia Cathey: Yes! I literally have to suffer through these videos, in order to see the artist’s work. Lousy interviewing and camera work have all but ruined this series.
"I buy sketchbooks just to leave them blank."

This guy is the most wholesome guy I've ever seen, wow would I love meeting him.
Meh, plenty of wholesome people. Keanu Reeves for one, Robert F Kennedy Jr for another.

and im totally down with it haha
that girl is definitely high

28:00 bro he literally makes a super realistic drawing out of nowhere and he says he wishes he had a photographic memory. this guy is pure inspiration
This guy is fantastic, he has such a great personality. I love his laugh, it makes me smile

He is soooo creative. Love his imagination.
When the cameraman wants to be artsy too but prevents us from taking a good look at the drawings in the process.
😂😂

@@CaptainFutureman Glad you agree! I actually avoid these videos now because the camera annoys me. I hope they sort it out!
Im afraid he's a dumbass, hasn't learned yet after so many videos
I feel so sleepy listening to this, it's like a bedtime story.. it feels like I'm in a blanket with my dad sitting beside the bed, telling an adventure of a person I wouldn't know about.. so complex yet very calming.
Whenever I get sad I just play this video at 23:35 and my day improves at least 50%

I'm in my 5th term at ArtCenter never knew Crash McCreery graduated from my school. Dude is so good!!!
so impressed by the Minotaur drawing and its idea, amazing
I love how much joy Crash gets from his work, his attitude is infectious. What a cool dude!
It's very nice to see an artist of his caliber still struggle with self doubt and picking apart their own work. Shows he's still just an artist like all of us, just more refined
I LOVE HOW ARTIST EXPLAINS THEIR CRAFT😭😭😭
YESSSS! This is how a sketchbook should really look like! Rough, unfinished drawings! So tired of seeing artists have finished polished pieces in them

I've watched this so many times I have every sentence engraved into my skull. God his sketches inspire me beyond comprehension.
RANGO!! is quiet literally one of my favorite movies I saw as a kid and still is
the maze, the mouse and the minotaur image is so simplistic yet so smart at the same time
I clicked sooo fast, ty for this amazing series!
love to hear all the laughter! its so refreshing! also the honesty of being embarrassed and sensitive-- too relatable!
The ink dragon was way too cool!
Idk how many times i've rewatched this, it's always so funny every single time
This video, Crash's humour and his love for drawing have helped me find my passion again, thank you 💙
This interview touched me so deeply 😭
this has to be the best episode. So much wisdom! Need a part 2 please
Again another wonderful artist

This felt really fun and natural. What a chill guy 😁
I love this guy and his amazing sketchbook!
Rango is my favorite movie ever, and I had no idea you were the illustrator. You need more recognition.
This guy is insanely good as an artist and just seems to be a good person.
this interview is amazing, I've listened to it so many times, and every time I learn something different.
This was an amazing episode. This guy is very real.

5 min later
"okay so what if there was a ride where we traumatize the children"
lol
I'm so glad I found you on you tube... Feels like a whole some master class
I wanna know what a conversation between Crash and Iain Mccaig would be like! :D
What a nice guy! Love his artwork. Really enjoyed this!
This dude is so funny and smooth going and his art is lovely! A great combination
This was delightful. Thank you.
Always loved his drawings, had no idea he was delightful.
He is so amazing. How are his high school sketches so fucking spectacular. His doodles are so detailed.
fantastic artworks
You guys seemed to be having way too much fun on this one. Great video. Thanks!
This artist is AMAZING! "Bonana"🤣
(Please never stop the series!) 💓
I really wanna get a print of that Minotaur painting, it’s so adorable
What he said about looking at the horizon is really accurate.

I just can't imagine how you can cope in that environment!
I've been searching on google about that horizon thing. I couldn't find anything. I wish there was a book or something
Seen a lot of sketch books.. This is the most wittiest one!
He's wonderful, what a great episode!
bonkeringly amazing, "jaw-drop to the floor" art by a warm wholesome artist.. just what i needed to see. also i would sell a kidney to see all his sketchbooks in person!
So good and so funny. Great to see the germs of ideas and figuring things out, important to see this from established professionals.
I am in love with these sketches so much 😍 and Crash seems like a super funny guy 😂
This is incredible, he’s such an awesome person.
Would love to meet him. His laugh is contagious and love his humour. Love is sketches.
I love this series
wow. That was an amazing collection of sketches. I had to pause and have a look to admire them. Lovely video.
the sketch theme puns he draws, that's a good coffee table book subject. Ship it!
this was probably the best interview with an artist that I've ever saw
So awesome! What a lovely guy!
Love Crash, great guy, lovely work.
What a cool, funny dude Crash is! Fantastic video :-)
This guy is really interesting, I like him.
Listening to this guy was just awesome.
truly amazing. love the energy, just choking back the laughter the whole time. I really wish there were artsy bars near me. if anyone knows any in new jersey lmk

This was truly inspiring
Very cool! Love these videos.

love your giggles!!
