Seeing this makes me happy that all artists started off as noobs at one point. As a beginner who is drawing around 6-8 hours everyday during the quarantine, gives me hope that one day I will become a professional like you and others in the industry.

Not going to lie... I'm totally invested in Judas trying to redeem himself.

Sketchbooks are a great time machine; if a little embarrassing. That was very brave. Thanks for the look at your past, delivered with awesome humor.

"I do that now obviously...because I like to save money!" Ahahah, that was hilarious (and true, man Moleskins are expensive!)

10:45 “Thats my ex girlfriend...that mouth was giving me trouble” and thats why she’s your ex Dan lol

The Mad Man has influenced so many artists, still my favorite to this day!

I just read the new beta ray bill comic. 5 issues of the greatest comic book I’ve read to date. It’s everything I’ve been wanting in a comic. Sci-fi , fantasy, mythology, gods, aliens, and swords. Some of the dopest shit ever

Can't wait to see a Judas X Punk Rock Jesus comics haha You're great Daniel, this channel doesn't made me lie.

Volume 1 is really not that embarrassing at all. Reminds me of many artists getting that early start -- learning from their favorites, sketching all the time, and figuring things out. Pretty good beginnings. 👏

the batman and grifter drawings look awesome thanks for sharing

Daniel- I would buy and love to read a book on Judas. The Character of Judas has always appealed to me- your take on the character with your art will just be unreal! sign me up brother-man..

This was amazing. I loved every second.Thank you! IDEA: A one shot with Judas (IN FLANNEL + Full spec ops gear) called "Love is Coming to Town" where he liberates a town overrun by demons with a BFG esque gun he calls "Love"...could even have a Scott McKnight cameo.

I think you need to do a short comic with all of these characters, battle-royale style, vying to see who survives the past to star in your next creator-owned project. Ex-girlfriend vs. Emo Zombie Hunter, vs. Resurrected Judas vs. Scot McKnight vs. Metal Gear Solid. Think about it! You have to drawn them all 2007-style and only the winner gets a 2020 redesign!

Dude! You had Scot Mcknight as a teacher? That's awesome! He's the best!

Thanks for sharing Daniel! It’s very brave of you and encouraging to developing artists. Also, you should change the name of this show to “Love is Coming to Town”. Sorry. I’m kidding. Please keep doing these.

I started watching Sketch Book Tour 7 and then stopped and came back to the beginning to get the whole evolution. I respect the hell out of you exposing your sketchbooks like this. Scary to put this kind of unfinished work out there. But I appreciate it.

"I'm so bad at this..." Man, you're the best, are you kiddin! I love discovering people through their art!

This is the bravest shit I've ever seen. I'd burn some of my old sketchbooks rather than let someone see them. Thanks for being so generous and vulnerable with your fans.

Thank you for sharing your sketchbook Daniel. It was great to see your progress, influences and challenges. My only concern was that you had drawn over your Andy Goldsworthy hand out. Hopefully that was after you had looked into his work 😁

Man, I'm still so into Madureira's work. I feel very identified with this aspect of your sketchbook. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm so excited that you made a channel! Your work has not only been inspiring, but it also brought me back into manga--what got me into art in the first place. I've been back into making art and storytelling ever since. Looking forward to seeing your future videos!

I'd read that Judas character! My favorite in this would prob be when you said you first were successful with inks at your friendly job. And that wolverine drawing was pretty good.

What an amazing journey! Thanks!

awesome sb tour. great to see the struggle. pics working at friendlys made my day. superb message at the end. thk u!

Thanks for the share!

This is sooo personal xD you are a brave man. This is great!

This is great thanks.

10:45 "I remember this mouth giving me so much trouble." (Whilst pointing to ex's mouth) We knew what you meant.

So happy your doing this! Keep up the good work! I'll watch every vid you make. Stoked!

Love these keep it up

This is awesome Daniel! Thank you so much for sharing these! ♥

Thanks a lot for showing this. Keep it up. Loving this!

Love the channel. Cant wait to see more!

SO excited for the content on this channel!

This is so amazing Daniel, thank you!!

thanks for sharing :D

This was incredible, thank you so much for having the courage to share. I love this so much and keep it

Thank you so much! I think we all loved that Judas character! So cool!

I’m really looking forward to every video you put out in this series, Daniel - so exciting!

Thanks for this so much. Its amazing of you and brave to see this type of content from artist I admire.

This is so great! I laughed so much. Your bravery is inspiring.

Such a great channel! Such honesty in these old sketchbooks! Really appreciate the glimpse into the past. Can't wait for next upload!

Thank you so much for sharing! It really is inspiring! Can’t wait for more! 🤘🏻

Great vid! Super cool to see where you started

Oh man this was great! The Judas reveal was just the best 😂😂

Thank you for being willing to share your sketchbook. Very inspiring to see your progress.

WOW! This was such a nice video. Seeing your progression is so inspiring, especially to aspiring artists like me!

You're an awesome artist. Much love from the Philippines.

This is so, so inspiring! I admire your honesty and courage to open up like this. Thank you! Cheers buddy

Oh man! I loved this series showing Sketchbooks, I'm currently in my second Sketchbook and I'm kind of like you in 2007, trying to get a LOT of improvement, I hope that in 13 years I will be revisiting him and having this mix of emotions you had! Excellent video by the way Daniel, I can't wait for the next!!

YEAH!!!! seeing this is awesome bro. so great looking at your early drawings. thanks for sharing this bro. I cant wait to see the next video!! cheers!!!

Thank you for sharing this with us! It is very educating and gives you also a human dimension, get to know the artist!

This video was so insightful, after this I grabbed my current sketchbook that I’m pretty close to finish and started criticizing my own stuff, checking on what I need to improve and of course, catching all those feelings throug the process haha, I’m so happy that you started the Chanel Daniel!

Dude this rules, thank you for sharing this stuff! I'm so excited for your channel in general!

Dude I love the into & the music. Thanks for opening up to us on the inter-webs. I'm an aspiring artist & I was really hoping to meet you at c2e2 unfortunately you weren't there at that moment hopefully next time though 👊💥

Love this DWJ! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for more. The Judas idea isn't bad either

Amazing. Keep it coming dude.

This video makes me want to start drawing again regulary on my sketchbook

Wow, I can’t help comparing my poor attempts at art to what you called some of the “worst” drawing you made and, damn, they are worlds better then any of the messy attempts at sketches that populate my sketchbook... thank you for sharing though and I’ll be there for more. Your work inspires me to keep trying and hope I’ll get better,,...maybe ... at some point, thank you for this series of videos

Very inspiring, DWJ. Can't wait to see more. I hope other artists do sketchbook tours. I wonder who Joe Madureira was riffing?

Loved that walk through your past. I've got many sketchbooks like those and a diary sketchbook that has a lot of girl's names blotted out after the fact. Lol So cool to see your influences and progression around the same time I was drawing similar things. Thank you for this video. It's very humorous to laugh along with you. Excited to see more!

This is such a majorly inspiring video and I am beyond excited to see the future content. To see such humble beginnings and the importance of a sketchbook emphasized and made important it makes me happy, motivated and idealistic towards my artistic future. Thank you for that Daniel, it helps too that I'm in the same age range as you were during that time, makes it all feel so grounded. From all the times I met you or even read your work you've been an unspoken mentor, inspiration and motivation for years now. This youtube thing is such a leap forward for your reach and I know you'll capture and inspire hundreds or thousands more of your fans than you already do. Keep on rocking daniel. -gunner

Hey, man! Thank you SO much giving us such an in-depth look into your journey. There are many people who would never do this - which is why I feel so invested in you and your work. I look forward to more!

Dude I love this you rock

I discovered and fell in absolute love with your art when I was at a LCS and found Wonder Woman Dead Earth. I was amazed and obsessed by the art and followed you on IG and now I’m fully on board with your channel! Thanks for sharing and keep sharing your work is amazing!

It would be really cool for you to do some callbacks to your favorites of these sketchbooks in your new comics

Bless ya son, I dunno if I could have done this, hah.

Is that a berserk poster on that door in the background? It's pretty damn sick.

Cool sketch book flip through Daniel:) I’m surprised you were influenced by joe mad :) I’m also influenced by joe mad especially tied down with the sensibility of combining manga and American comics which I still do to this day \m/also I have a big collection of sketch books from 2018 to now in 2020 and onwards:)

Judas 2021, lets get it!

Lol, I have so many sketchbooks from high school filled with Joe Mad, Chris Bachalo and Toriyama rip-offs. Right there with you man.

A hero of ours once had a blog called -Pregnant void- alla something from nothing 😉

I spy a Boss Katana!

This looks like Tsutomu Nihei style, did you read Wolverine Snikt! at the time?

This was really interesting, thank you! Prepare for lots of Judas commission requests lol

Well I guess presto doesn't yellow. Good to know.

Can't figure out if he's laughing or crying when he talks about her ex. 😂

Dude, Judas needs to happen!

What’s he referring to with tangents?

You know that Judas idea was kinda cool tho

Can you please turn music down a bit?

Dude bring back Judas!

id read the Judas book
