Absolutely gorgeous! Loved the beautifully saturated greens, lavenders and colours you used in all the landscapes 😍 and I want to adopt the lovely highland cow on the first page😄
cutest intro EVER! What a glorious documentation of your travels, your family history, and time with your friends. Your "restraint" and ability to capture so much so loosely is so inspiring!
I LOVE your sketchbooks. They are so whimsical and capture beautiful moments in such a magical way. I am inspired to get more whimsical in my own travel sketchbooks! 🥰✨
Yay someone else who uses blues and purples (although I haven't used peach yet, must get on that) to make greys! I so rarely use it and it's really good to see someone else using that technique. Also gosh I just love all the flavours of green throughout this sketchbook! As someone who is prone to filling in the whites I salute your restraint and it really elevates the images! I love how your sketchbook is playful but also like, so cohesive, like the colours on your pages all make sense together. I genuinely gasped at the Cairngorms National Park page! I know that one was a bit more planned but throughout it just shone! I am glad you were able to have the more loose sketchbook too as I know it can be super draining having to make 'spreads' and 'finished work' in your sketchbook all the time. And I am SO HYPE for the art books! Eeeee!
I LOVE doing thought out, lovely spreads just as much as I enjoy doing trashy, messy, scribble spreads! They are all welcome and allowed 🩷🩷🩷 so excited that you enjoyed my little video!! YES I can’t wait to show you all my new art books!! Weeeeee
That's how I feel when I go to canada theres just something that calls to my dna as one side of my ancestors were french Canadian as I've been told..thank you for your sketchbook tour..lovely sketches..💙✍🖍🎨🖌📒
I watched it last night but now I am here to comment! I just love love the pictures with the white in it. To me it looks as if it was a super sunny day. I alao did not know you worked in animation...wow. I find these landscapes so difficult so watching your style helps me break it down more easily. Man I love these flowers and the little figures of you and Lucy and just the vibes, y'know? The vibes!
Thank you so much for making Wick look so beautiful! My wee studio is on the High Street of Wick and it's so sad to see less and less vistors as the years go on, hopefully this can help put Wick back on the map, it is truly lovely here.
Oooooh!!! We saw your studio! I wanted to pop in but you were closed, it must have been after you’d already gone home for the day orrr I think it was bank holiday then, everyone was taking a break! But anyway, It made me SO happy to see an artist studio in the middle of town! How wonderful!!!
@@SophieMcPike Oh wow! You should have messaged and I would have popped round :P Yes, I'm only open thursday-saturday and i typically have to close every five minutes if im low on stock or out at markets but m just glad you came saw the beauty in Wick, and if you are ever back I'd love to take you for a coffee!
always mesmarized by your paintings, and especially your colors! thank you for sharing your sketchbooks, they're all so lovely and inspiring, always makes me want to paint more! also, i love your approach to sketchbooking/journaling and it helped me with embracing my mistakes and enjoying the problem-solving part of art more, so thank you for that too :)
You’re one of my fave artist on the internetsz. This sketchbook was beautiful. The colors, the brush strokes, those pages with negative spaces - chef’s kiss!
Pulling up a chair with utensils in hand, ready to absolutely DEVOUR this sketchbook! YUM! I love your cute little squeaky intro so freakin' much. MANY GIGGLES! XOXO
15:04 Thank you for teaching me to have more fun with my art! I am profoundly inspired by your work, it is so joyful, amazing and special!! ❤ I’m grateful to see your videos from the other side of the world here in Canada. Looking forward to seeing more soon. 😊
Your sketchbook is such a treasure of your memories! I love the diversity of textures and materials and all the colors 😍 I'm amazed how you made the time while traveling for drawing, please tell me your secret! :D I recently traveled and totally failed on drawing.
Ah thank you!!! My secret is trying to only do one or two big things a day and purposely making room in the day to paint. My friend and I purposely favoured art time over other time! Hehe
I’ve really been enjoying the new editing and animation stuff you’ve been doing in your video intros. Do you use certain animating or video editing apps?
I do have a newsletter (you can sign up via my website sophiemcpike.com ) but I rarely use it! Haha! I’ll definitely post here and insta when they are available for pre order in the early new year
The painting of Lucy with the white gaps in the green is stunning. Leaving the white really did add some magic. 💛
Thanks so much 😊🩷
ummmm apparently I wasn't subbed!?!??!??!?!?!?!?? I have fixed this.
You cutieeeeee! YT is a cute place to be! Cosy!

I’ve really been enjoying the new editing and animation stuff you’ve been doing in your video intros. Do you use certain animating or video editing apps?
I just use premier pro for my editing and I animate on procreate 🧡
Do you have a newsletter to let us know when pre-orders are open for the Ireland & Scotland art books?
I do have a newsletter (you can sign up via my website sophiemcpike.com ) but I rarely use it! Haha! I’ll definitely post here and insta when they are available for pre order in the early new year
How did you like that small watercolor palette..I think you said you got it from Daiso? Thr turquoise colored one with 24 slots
I used it everyday while I was away! So handy :)
