Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your grandfather and his life with us. I can hear the pleasure in your voice while talking about him! That's a wonderful memento to have. My mother and I shared a crafting passion in almost all the arts. I haven't been able to go through her craft room yet, but hope that when I feel emotionally better I will find some wonderful mementos too.

your grandpa is in heaven now. And he smile up there, when you see his drawing :)

I found a child's sketchbook from probably c.1768 inside a 1768 Book of Common Prayer. Was really interesting seeing what they drew back then. A lot of it was quite similar to today (animals, scenes from the bible, people, silly faces etc) but also some more unusual stuff (hanging, agricultural tools, ships)

The character with the mop is "Jiggs" from the Jiggs and Maggie newspaper strip. The Cows and the Castle on the lake and the Backpack ones are really polished. Be interesting to scan them and colour them in photoshop.

For your grandfather’s time as a 12-year-old, his art was pretty impressive for his age.

Seeing your grandfather's drawings made me realize the beauty in just drawing. I've been drawing since I was a child, but after I grew up I feel like I need to draw perfectly, without mistakes. and that makes me stay away from my sketchbook for months. But watching this video I realized that just the act of drawing is wonderful and fun. this is so pure. Thank you for sharing something so valuable with us! hugs from Brazil.

This made me cry, thinking of my future grandchildren going through my sketchbooks.. I know it’s selfish to think of myself. I’m on the last page of my 3rd sketchbook and I hope someone spends the time to go through it someday the same way you have with your Grandpa.

Not only is it cool of you to share your grandfathers work, but it also shows that all you need to do to get good at drawing is to continue to practise.

Your grandfather sounds like he had a similar career path to my great grandfather. He was an artist, calligrapher and cartographer. We have his diary from his time in the British cavalry during WW1. It features sketches of horses and the French countryside. He had so much incredible belongings that we saved from my grandmother’s before she passed away.

What a treat! I love that thought, of what your grandad would make of his sketchbook being open to the whole wide world! I hope someone does that with all mine!

there's something so entrancing about learning about tiny pieces of the past generations' lifes, and people tend to underestimate how much of a role art plays into human history. if you were to pass down this sketchbook for the next three or four generations, it could genuinely become a look into those years of living for the children of, let's say - 40 years from now. it's really amazing when you think about it - being able to contribute to this sort of lineage of knowledge. but i guess for now youtube does the job lol

If this sketchbook is from like 1939 and the grandfather passed away in 2018, it means that he lived until the age of 91. A very long life of a very interesting person! I'm glad you still have his works! My grandfather Vladimir was an artist too and I want to find his works.

The improvement is really interesting I’m glad youtube algorithm decided to share this gem with me today

Man such historical treasures must be kept for centuries, thank you for sharing your grandfathers works. May He Rest In Peace.

It's so beautiful! When i was a child i paint very awful, but my friend and teacher always told me that i good artist. It wasn't a truth. But I thanks them for this support. Now i have 7 sketchbook and many many full arts. I just want to say that you shall belive yourself and continue drawing. Sorry for my bad English. I hope that you can to understand me

I write. I wonder.. my grandchildren gonna find my diaries and journal one day...

I just finished my work and turned on youtube, and i was lucky that i found this video. really made me move. I also have a passion in art, and i hope my descendants will also have a passion art and have a wonderful time drawing a masterpiece together.

It's interesting to see the portraits he drew, the old hairstyles and clothing

I never thought I'd would wanna see how a person's sketchbook would look like in the 30's, but here I am! :D

This is so beautiful, to have a memento of a dear familiy member, my grandfather loved writing, and i keep a lot of his novels in a portfolio, he loved romantic stories and i loved reading them.

Isn’t it wonderful that the things which, in the present, are considered normal, routinely, boring contain an insane amount of potential to be considered as treasure and discovery just a few decades later?

Kasper what a treasure , your grandfather's drawings are wonderful! And how well is kept after so many decades . Thanks for sharing ❤😊

Yesterday my grandma died and she was one of the sweetest people I ever met and this is a kind of way for me to cope

This is a beautiful way of passing your grandfather's legacy on. Thank you for sharing all of this.

I wonder if KZfaq and this video well still be up in 100 more years how beautiful and surreal would it be to watch this video and see comments of 100 years past talk about a grandfathers drawings from 100 more years back then

Your granpa's drawing is good! Rest In Peace to your grandpa...❤

3:30 those are so so awesome 🤩

93 year old book, and sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing a special thing from your family with us, we appreciate it.

I’m a Norwegian born in 1967 but still recognise a lot from your grandfather’s drawing from 1949 09:10 The nikkers/knickers and leg socks which is still in use among many ski goers. And the bamboo poles, which we used up to the eighteies. He must have been pretty immersed into Norwegian outdoors culture 😊🇳🇴👍🏻

This album must have seen *a lot* of things, as it has drawings from the man's childhood and up until the military service. That's at least 10-15 years! And now these 1.5 dozen years of the personal story have got through nearly a century. That's just fascinating.

your grandfather was so talented! thank you for sharing this! when you saw the car drawing with the 2 trees its so crazy its likes this book is frozen in time!

finally. the sketchbook which don't have any anime in

Absolutely heart warming. Enough to make anyone cry. Even (almost) 100 years ago, we are the same people

Wow, it was wonderful to have a look through your Grandad's sketch book, how lovely that you have it safe and I can see where you get your drawing skills from Kasper! A shame he did not want to tell all of his stories - Ive heard a lot of people here in the UK kept their secrets for decades after working with British Intellligence during WWII. I wonder if it's partly that they signed the Official Secrets Act so felt they still weren't allowed to talk, but also because they were difficult times to remember, especially with people who didn't live through it with them. Iused to love to hear my Granny's stories about the war, it seemed like old history to me at the time, but when I think about it now I reaised that in fact it was only twenty years after WWII had ended that I was making her tell me those stories about what it was like to live through the Blitz. I think one of your comics would be a wonderful way to remember your Grandad's history if you have enough material.

You should get some transparent sleeves for those pages, have them professionally preserved for display. Lots of options that will greatly prolong the lifespan of such a delicate heirloom.

It’s every artists desire that some day, when they are gone, that people will enjoy and find meaning in their art. Now so many people get to enjoy your grandfather’s art. Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you so much Kasper for sharing this wonderful treasure of your Grandad's! It made me think back to the many arts and crafts my Grandma and Grandpa introduced me to. I miss them terribly.

This is a beautiful gem. Thank you for sharing this little piece of personal history.

Very heartwarming. I wonder what he'd think about all these people taking a lot at this drawings. On a side note, dear god, the eyebrows.

I love how calm this video is

that was a cool drawing for almost a 100 yrs old drawing!.. Epic

This is beyond heartwarming. Also the first comical bit with the men on skis and the plump dude waddling towards them is from an animated Christmas special I am currently forgetting the name of. It's really beautiful and well done like everything else in this charming little timepiece! Thank you infinitely for sharing.

I feel very happy for you that you have such a cool heritage. I really miss my granddad. He also liked art and drew sometimes. But he didn't collect them properly due to his condition or whatever. I was almost crying while watching your video and listening to the story.

So awesome! I have one my grandfather's sketch books. It means so much to me. Even though it is not full of drawings the ones that he did create are really nice. What I think is so cool is that he would go to the art museum near us and sketch the sculptures and African masks. I can still go to that same museum and see the objects that he drew as a young man.

ВаУ! Це так зворушливо. Ти наче гортаєш історію яка застигла в моменті, історію рідної людини закарбованої в тонких листах альбому, на сторінках яких, залишилась частинка спогадів пра-дідуся. Мій пра-дід теж був надзвичайно талановитою людиною і теж мав хист до малювання. Хоч таких рідкісних речей мені не вдалось дістати, моя бабуся(його дочка), передала його картини(ті які вдалося зберегти, а за своє життя він дуже багато малював), на полотнах, написані маслом. Це надзвичайно. І тому - Ваша історія відгукнулася теплом у моєму серці. Дякую

How much I envy you for having such a close relation with your family❤

My great-great-grandmother was the artist in the family, she drew on leather in the gauchos' equipment, it was so sad to hear my great-grandmother tell that all of her mother's sketches were lost after his mother died of tuberculosis. It is wonderful that they keep the sketchbook, it is truly a relic, also that you were able to show them to the world in this video, your grandfather will live a long time in the memory of the people who have seen this video ❤

You should film a video of you recreating his old drawings

I found it quite interesting that all of the pictures portray how their Grandpa was thinking and what was going through their lives the sketch book is like a time capsule. Thank you so much for Sharing such a wonderful memory!

This is really cool to see! Your Grandfather had a great taste in comics, I especially like his rendition of Mutt & Jeff skating

Very sweet of you to share this. Your grand dad was a talented man.

My great-grandfather also died on 2018. It was on December 18, 2018 its sad that he didn’t reach Christmas with us

Ur grandfather is really good at drawing

I love seeing the improvement of his art, it's really cool.

its like showing his journey from beginner to being a good artist!

Your grandfather’s a really great artist! God bless him!

Thank you so much for sharing your Grandad's Sketchbook with us. He was very talented ✏🎨

Very precious connection with your grand father.

🌸💕🌷 so beautiful, a link from a grandpa to his grandson 🌷💕🌸

I loved this so much I cried

In the last year I visited my grandmother once every Friday, and we had a lot of really interesting things to talk about and share (she is probably the first person in my family with whom I share my passions, characters and stories) Learned a lot of unexpected things about her as well, both she and her father were engineers back in Soviet Union, and it turns out that I am currently studying at the same university as she did, and this is honestly fascinating, I have noticed that we have so much in common! Obviously I have a lot of similarities with my father as well, but I am really proud that his positive attitude and a bit of a rebellious spirit lives in me! Honestly, I am surprised that none in our family was a musician, especially my father, he just had the perfect style and aura. Although, I did learn that he used to paint a little bit back in his 20s, and I am currently teasing him a bit that he should give it a try again

that is a great family heirloom to have🙂 nice piece of history and a lovely memories to have of your grandfather 🥰

This is so amazing I love pieces of family history like this, its so beautiful that people can leave something so personal behind. My grandma still has my grandads guitar from when he was a young man. Even though the world was such a different place back then, people's drive to create was just as strong as it is to day and this is a gorgeous example of that. Thank you so much

Hope it lasts another 100 years and amother 100.

This is so beautiful I love it

I don’t know if there’s anything left of both my grandpas, may they both RIP. But I applaud you in sharing your grandfather’s works from his youth. You’re keeping his memories alive. ❤Keep them safe.

Thanks for showing us please keep this in good condition some libraries collected old sketchbook as artifacts

your grandpa was very good at drawing! for some reason, i love how the paper looks old and wary. also, i somehow kinda came up with a story idea just by looking at your outfit. there are some parts i couldn’t really come up with something for, but i didn’t spend a lot of time working on it haha. if you want to see what it’s about here’s a copied version from my notes below: A middle aged man tries to follow the path of his grandfather trying to make a time machine to make himself feel better after the death of his grandpa who he thinks is his fault he died. [idk what the reason is yet] his wife divorced him because the man was always working and didn’t spend time with her. the kids went with the mom. occasionally, the mom will come over to see her ex-husband to see if he’s doing okay (because she still loves him and cares about him). The man’s kids want him to stop working and they try all they can to make him take a break. As the story goes on, the kids teaches him lessons and eventually, he stops working and takes a break.

Amazing. It breaks my heart to think about people who live their lives, create things, collect things, and when we are gone, those things remain. What happens to a lot of these things? They get thrown away sometimes. It's kind of an "existential " thought that goes through my mind quite a lot. Like too much, keeps me awake at night, among other thoughts. I appreciate you showing this and giving respect to your Grandfather. It is very nice to see.♥️💔💙

That generation was special.

Than you for showing us a piece of life of your Granddad. I hope you grow

I think it’s wonderful how you are able to find so much to complement and praise in each drawing. Most people would see it was done by a 12 year old and instantly write it off.

His art improvement was so smooth. Nice vid.

Every flip of a page changes the way and style of drawing, seemingly an evolving hand skill being storied in a sketch book

as an icelandic person who’s really interested in nordic history, this was really cool! a look into the past that can’t be seen anywhere else. loved this video

This is so fascinating. I wish I could see more sketchbooks from history.

What a treasure! Thank you for sharing this with us!

This is masterpiece of antique art

WOW! The paintings is so cute

I always loved seeing other people's sketchbooks, but seeing one so old in such good condition is amazing. Thank you for sharing this! :)

Your grandfather drew very well and showed what it's like in the 1930's

This sketchbook really kind of serves as a time capsule of your granddad's life. It's fascinating to think about the stories behind each of these sketches! It's truly special ❤

Omg, this is so amazing! It's not my grandfather, but it makes even me emotional!

Awesome drawing art works. And especially for 💯 years 😺👍.

Your grandfather would be so happy if he saw his grandchild watching his drawing, I wish my grandfather was alive today.

the best 10:32 minutes spent of mt life ❤

Very beautiful sketch book your father was very talented!

That’s well-maintained for a 100 year old sketchbook. Mine’s 2 years old and is already disintegrating.

Rest in peace

It's literally 4 AM for me here in Germany and I stumbled randomly to this video and I'm glad I did. Really pretty drawings, thanks for sharing :)

This is a relic and a piece of history, thank you for sharing this with us for all to see :)

You are so lucky to have such a wonderful thing from your Grandfather, I would be tempted to frame them all , Thanks again 👍🏻

I love how the flowers on the left page at 2:12 are clearly his rendition of the same flowers the woman was painting in the previous drawing. Very much enjoyed this, thank you for sharing.

This is so pure, sketchbooks are special.

Wish I had more of the original art my relatives made. My grandmother did beautiful paintings. I only have some photos of them though. She did beautiful horse paintings. I have some crochet she did, and one small painting of a palm tree. My uncle on the Nielsen side who died several years before I was born was an artist and also made puppets and had puppet shows. My aunt Joy Nielsen used to send me letters with funny little drawings in them. I still have a few of them. My brother was a commercial artist. And I love to draw and paint. Animals mostly. Good thing you have his sketchbook.

This gives me hope. I'm thinking that my drawings are so basic because I drew one thing that came to my mind. But your granddad drew everything he experienced. And man those last drawings (the soldier sleeping, the cows, the gas mask man) were on point.

Something about old Drawing more into what people sees in their life time, but now more stylized drawings are common these days

The sketches reminded me of my grandfather's drawings. It must have been a hard time for them but at the same time full of motivation in that world they were building for us. Thanks for sharing 😊greetings from Chile, South America

sometimes i wonder if things like this should stay private. it’s so cool seeing it, but there’s also a certain charm to keeping a family artifact like this to yourself. like when kurt cobain’s diary was published after he died :/
