Such a kickass idea for drawing. You should log all your favorite playthroughs like this and have them books published. Plenty of people would buy them for the art work alone the continuity throughout the book is just a big bonus. Good work

You need to get this all published, people would buy copies of your books ......Absolutely WOW ❤

These are some of the most beautiful sketchbooks I've ever seen, especially that Elden Ring one. It's funny because I'm keeping a journal/sketchbook for my progress in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, treating it as though I am really a traveler going through Hyrule, documenting my journey. It's a really creative way of immersing yourself into a game and story. Instant new subscriber here. I look forward to watching your other videos! ❤

HOLY cow your illustration and artistic writing is absolutely jaw dropping! I thought I was looking at a book from the 1600's made by monks who devote all their time to painting. YOur work is incredible! Please keep posting and start a kickstarter!!

"I never wanted to share this with anyone cause it was kind of a dumb thing" Bro this is amoung the most amazing things I've seen ever. It's so cool to see all this amazing artwork together. I'm so jealous of your drawing talent!

You did a full on illustrated book 😮 It’s amazing and so much patience! It looks like it belongs in a bookstore!

I'm a 70 yr. old artist, mostly wildlife & fantasy, and you've SO impressed me! I'm inspired to get to work on anything after watching this peek into your books- don't worry what anybody else says "should" be about anything to do with your amazing creative voice, just follow that inner compass. When you mentioned personalizing the covers, I thought "Yeah, the plain black cover just looks like homework, the others look fun and beautiful". I'm so glad this popped up, will look at more of your vids :)

Forgive me if i overstep but when you said you dont enjoy watching your self draw.. Your artwork is amazing! truly. We are all way more critical of our selfs then others would be, im sure we would all love your drawing videos. Happy new year!

Thanks to everyone who left a nice comment on this ole video. if anyone reads this, I am going to do a flip through of the elden ring journal, it will be a video for every major section of the game. I have to polish up each section since some of it was left only halfway sketches. Limgrave alone is like 100 pages. so I will post when ready. Also like the idea of making books for other games in the future. I'm not a full time youtuber so I'm slow at getting videos out. my apologies in advanced.

Heed my words... Publish your stuff and make it available in some form. A LOT of people would be interested in seeing this.

This was NOT a dumb thing. This was BRILLIANT! Playing the game and then documenting your progress gave you an avenue to showcase your amazing art skills. Well done!

I would love to see the entire sketchbook of your playthrough❤

Dude, this is incredible. Don't ever think that what you do passionately is "silly". I wish I had half of your talent and skill. This IS art!

You’ve got SERIOUS skill! This tour of sketchbooks has to be my favorite of all time. I see studies, like ACTUAL studies, observations, original art in style AND color, exploration, etc! I enjoyed this video so much! It’s set apart from other popular styles. Your voice is soothing and casual as well! I hope you do more of these! I would definitely watch a whole video of you just flipping through your books and speaking about each. Don’t count yourself out, you’ve got something here! ❤

Honestly bro this is one of the most inspiring sketchbook tours I have seen

I love the variety and range between all the different books. Truly wonderful work

Your drawings are beautiful! I am an artist as well and I know for a fact that the artist is much more critical than the viewer. Keep drawing and posting because your art is amazing and so detailed. PS Don't worry about the paper, I also use crappy paper because I feel more free to draw what I want without being scared I'm going to ruin a piece of expensive paper.

You're channel's so underrated, dude. But god dang is it valuable/inspirational.

My jaw dropped as soon as you flipped that first page like wow You're amazing 😮

I watch sketchbook tour videos all the time, but I always get most excited whenever you post a new video. Your art is amazing!

You really do have some insane skill when it comes to drawing! I want to be able to push myself to the limit when it comes to creativity. I really feel like I’ve hit a wall with the work that I’ve been doing. Touring your sketch books really is encouraging and a fire starter to what it seems like I’m missing.

Oh my God- You're art is incredible!! Recently, I've been feeling disconnected from my art and it felt like a chore every time, but seeing your art reminded me of why I chose to be an artist in the first place. Creativity and self. Thank you for sharing!!!

If there was a way to replicate that Elden Ring book I would buy it instantly. The style and the way you describe it has me sold, amazing art.

All your drawings are phenomenal, but when you showed your Ellie drawing, I genuinely gasped. You sir, are an incredible artist

Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks are the prized possessions of many libraries. You might consider him as your role model. I expect that libraries will be scrounging for your sketch pads in the future. Such amazing talent.

Wow! I am beyond impressed. So many fabulous skill demonstrated here. You’re extremely accomplished.

Something about your art is so incredibly soothing. The foxes with the tree/bush branches as background makes me feel like I am in a forest for some reason. And the stuff at 8:46 is just unreal. Your art brought me a lot of joy today :) As for your comments about not liking seeing yourself draw, I can assure you that you're probably the only one who sees it. I know when I look at other people's timelapses or speedpaints that I mostly pay attention to their process. I can assure you that people who are interested in your work would be happy to see how it's made. In fact, I wonder that about a lot of artists' work and I started watching many because they explain their process in video So please don't be too critical of yourself! You might find a lot of growth there Good luck with your future art!

There’s definitely natural talent there, but your curiosity and dedication is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing.

This is what I want to Do with Novells. Imagining Stories has always been a favorite pastime of mine and I have recently been collecting Journals. This gives me Motivation to fill those blank pages with whatever my mind wanders to. Thank You for showing a glimpse of your Passion.

Unbelievably beautiful artwork! The most wonderful journal art I have ever seen. I agree with the other commenters that you should have these published. Thank you so much for sharing these. I feel privileged having viewed them.

Please never forget, what the human mind and the human hand can render is 1000% better and more pleasing than what any AI, current or future, can create. This is a fantastic example of just that. Beautiful work brother!

Very talented. Thankyou for sharing with us ❤

I am struck with the parallels of your sketchbook and Leonardo DaVinci's sketchbooks. From anatomy to grotesques, to machinery, to fantasy. This is truly amazing and should be preserved and displayed for the public. Very nice work.

Your art is so amazing! Please make a social media or something I can follow it! The amount of workand skill you put into this is mind-boggling. I need to see more!!

you'd be surprised how many people like 'boring'. sometimes you just want something easy and calming on the side. Your work is amazing and I'd very much be up for watching your sketch book journeys. Also, I love your Elder Ring book idea - if I had any form of talent I'd love to do something like that.

Your drawings are not boring, they are very interesting and creative. You have created another world, the next " Game of Thrones".

I was randomly suggested this video and thought "why not?"... Wow! I was not expecting this level of talent. It has given me a while different view on how to use sketch books! I am also precious of good paper because of its expense but your journals are inspirational! It's obvious that your sketching brings you joy, keep finding your solace in it.

amazing work. i could really see your drawings as an addition to a collector's edition of a game or in graphic novels. really lovely to look at. even the rough sketches. you are really talented!

I know you are critical of yourself as an artist but this is truly next level skill. But feel like your enjoyment will always surpass the worry for imperfection as it should. It's so pretty and inspiring to watch this

You inspire me to create. For a long time a have felt pained to draw as I am stumbling over what to draw. Usually leaving me with a half finished sketch or painting. But I want you to know that your work has inspired me to be creative again. That I should bring my tools with me when I go study abroad. So I just want to thank you for posting your journey into your passion. From one artist to another, thank you for the reminder that we all begin somewhere.

9:02 Jesus Christ so many of these are absolutely incredible! 😍❤️ they’re so exact too, I can’t keep anything straight I always end up floating off but you are so precise! ❤

you are an amazing artist. I'd love to watch you draw or paint - watching artists' creative process intrigues me. It's so fascinating! I also love how you were more focused on creating - putting your ideas and thoughts onto paper, and less focused on the perfection of the artwork. I often feel the desire for perfection stifles the creative process which can often lead to people losing their joy in creating. Don't ever your doubts diminish your creativity! Enjoyed your Sketchbook tour very much!!!

My jaw was dropped through the whole video, I’d LOVE to see more!!

My friend committed suicide a few months ago, recently I was given his sketchbook, it’s been 3 months, and I still catch myself flipping through it, some nights I admire it, others I cry into it. But it’s my favorite thing to do and show off. I love him so much and miss him, his sketchbook holds a piece of him and his personality. He was my life, and he was such a great dude. Please, if you’re just a friend, or a partner, or a mother or son or something, keep the notebooks, keep their sketches, keep their doodles, their texts, something. You will never know if it’s the last thing you see or hear or have of them.

This is the best sketchbook (set) i have ever seen in my life. What a gift you have. I am not an artist but yet so jelly. Everything you do is cool and interesting.

It seems like your art journaling has been very therapeutic for you. Your imagination is amazing. 😊

So much creativity 🤩 I really enjoyed listening to your thought process and seeing your beautiful art work. Thank you for sharing.

You're brilliant. Thanks for sharing glimpses of your creative genius and the process behind it coming into being.

Bro! No one has sketchbooks like this. You're amazing!

So cool! especially the old medieval style you drew I would like to draw like that at some point :-)

Your sketchbooks are fantastic! I really enjoyed watching this video. Truthfully you’ve inspired me to be more care free in my sketchbooks and stop worrying. You deserve to give yourself more credit!

"I never wanted to share it with anyone because it was kind of a dumb thing ..." No dude! NO. I'm writing this at the 03:04 mark of my first time watching this. This is already amazing.

I love it! I would watch you sketch / draw / paint, any day, any time! 🌿

I've never felt so completely inadequate, yet simultaneously inspired as an artist lol Could honestly cry right now from how beautiful everything in yo sketchbooks is, but also from da understanding I've gained in watching this video. I don't think I've seen something so profoundly imaginative, to da point it's making me re think how I view my art as a whole. Like top to bottom what have I been doing all these years haha. Just wow. Please keep it up my g. Wonderful way to start my day and get into art mode. Thank you so much for sharing wit us.

Your work is awesome! Keep at it. You're not boring. I appreciate your work.

I just stumbled on your channel yesterday. I must say you are so inspiring! I loved seeing the variety of your sketchbooks and your ideas. Your artwork is wonderful, and I enjoyed how you talked about your art. Just inspiring. Also your sketchbooks are such a cool playground, makes me want to try and art journal one of my games. I hope to see more of your videos/content. Also, Happy New Year !

7:20 those snakes are so good! 😍❤️

It sort of reminds me of a more illustrated version of the guy who held a complete journal for his Skyrim playthrough, and i think it's amazing :D Shows how much influence a Game can have on people when they're good, how much passion and emotion we put into them. Your Sketchbook is absolutely amazing, not just the Art but the efforts you put into making it look like a more medieval-like journal with the ornate framing and gothic writing to match the aesthetics of the Game

jeje i love imagining people based on their voice, their drawings and the movement of their hands

Absolutely stunning. Awesome work, sir!

You are an amazing artist! I used to draw all the time, but I let life pull me away from my passion. Seeing your books inspires me to want to get back to it.

“Yeah…this is my sketch book!” Looks like a D&D Core RuleBook! Crazy Amazing!!!

I LOVE sketchbooks. The problem is that I love them but don't USE them. Now *that* is lunacy lol. What you're doing is ART. WOW.

Watching this video makes me want to try again with my channel. Thank you so much for sparking an old flame I thought was gone. I want to draw again! Keep going!

Your video is incredibly comfy. Seeing you show your art and talk about it with such passion and genuine love reminded me of my childhood when I made art just for the sake of it, imagining my own characters and adventures... happy times. Like many others, I’d love to see a tour of your Elden Ring sketchbook, you really nailed the medieval illumination style. Picked up my sketchbook again thanks to you.

I have to say that possibly the reason you don’t enjoy watching yourself draw is in part because you have already been through the process so watching yourself do it again is boring because you know what comes next. But someone else (especially someone who learns from watching others) would love to watch you draw and paint. Please upload what you have. Your work is pretty amazing. I would love to watch your process while you work.

This is really fkn amazing. Seriously. I could only dream of drawing and painting so well. You are talented and skilled. Keep it up.

this has been an AMAZING video of all the artwork. i find it hard to pick a favourite! in fact, i've gained inspiration and courage to draw out my favourite games as I play too. it'll be interesting to try drawing the monsters and characters in the game's style itself, and then various other styles as a fun comparison. thank you very much!!

DEF NOT DUMB! Man you killed the art work!!

Watched this and literally went spending 100€ in art supplies because of it. You woke up my long lost drawing crave so thank you so much.

Lunatic or not, your artwork is gorgeous!!! You're very talented. Never ever give it up.

I wish I loved doing anything as much as you love drawing.

You are such a great artist, my brother used to be able to draw like that and he just gave it up one day. My son can draw really well but wants to stop also. I would give anything to be able to draw like that! Keep it up, don’t stop, please!

The elden ring one looked really cool!! Would love to see all of it!!

Omg amazing. You seriously need to get these printed. Best art journals I've ever seen. You should be a professional book illustrator. Incredible talent ❤❤❤

3 pages in and I’m like 😮 how? Beautiful work….amazzzing I wish I had a 10% of your talent.

Fantastic. Please let the world see you work. I would love to watch you create.❤

I can't believe how good your stuff is. You competently (for lack of a better word) illustrate in 5+ styles like a professional concept artist. What is your story/background? My partner has her degree in classical painting and has gotten into sketchbooking lately due to her disability so we've both become very interested in people's sketchbook portfolios. I think yours is easily the best I've ever seen.

your map made me smile ...... AND you got the dude in mail holding the shield right. That's something you don't see everyday YOU AE A FANOMINAL ARTIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This compilation of your sketchbooks is AMAZING! I love them….. Thanks to share it with us Artyz….

I would absolutely love a tour through the world building book, seeing that map made me wanna see more! Very inspiring artwork

I have watched dozens of sketch book videos, your's is by far the best. You have an amazing talent!

"I don't want to get too far into the weeds of that" bro PLEASE do.

A lot of your art is very reminiscent of what Belgian and French comic book artists produced in the last quarter of the 20th century. Great work.

These are beautiful! I would love to see you do world of Warcraft stuff 😍😍❤️❤️❤️ I’m pretty sure Blizzard has a team of artists for their merch and the game designing etc, you would be amazing on those teams! You already have the style down! 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am astonished at the absolute beauty of your artwork. I feel speechless. Please never stop even is you never want to share them with anyone, though I hope you will. God has given you a wonderful gift. Amazing.

This makes me want to pick up my pencils and begin learning once again. This is straight up beautiful stuff. Thank you very much for sharing!

I enjoyed your talk. And I could relate to some extent to most of your process, specially not showing most of the art to others because of the personal depth it holds.

I'm looking through your videos and am speechless. You are beyond talented Artzy. Remember Art is not perfection.❤ Note: when I was in Highschool I used to draw on my jeans. I drew Mick Jagger, Keith Richard, doodles etc. My Mom was pissed about ink on my jeans, I was upset it was washed away.

Holy sh*t, I watched the whole video with an open mouth. I'm pretty sure everyone wants to see every page of every sketchbook you have. Awesome work! 🤩

Wow! I really admire your art. I think you would be a great instructor. A lot of people want to be great artist, but not put in the time or effort. I am one of those people. Watching you turn page after page of your sketchbooks I can see how dedicated you are to studying the dimension of the art you create. Also, you had me at the Eldon Ring and bestiary book. I do hope you will share an update on your progress.

Some really talented draughtsmanship!

3:00 I think the word you were looking for was awesome. That little mouse guy at 7:04 is great. Your work is fantastic.

This is absolutely amazing. Your mind is brilliant. Please show and share more. 💖

Thanks for sharing this with the world. If these were mine, I would be so proud of myself!

As a gamer at almost 50 and an artist. This is phenomenal artwork!! Yes people want to see this!

I'm not sure why I'm in tears but I'm so immersed. All i see is beauty, so much soul. You're amazing. I don't know what else to say. Tears just started coming out.

You are so talented. I hope you change your mind about sharing videos of you drawing. I think it would help a lot of people who are wanting to learn. Your animals are my favorite. I'm impressed not just by your skill but also at the creativity of composition. That is a talent/skill all by itself.

This is amazing. I just love love the idea of tracking your progress with the game. Great way to keep the art and inspiration going. Thank you for sharing this. You are awesome :). I imagine you as the master wizard the keeper of stories and records. Do not doubt yourself. Every page turn filled me more and more with inspiration.

Delightful work! You definitely put a lot into this. Thanks for sharing!
