Wow, I can’t believe I already completed the very last sketchbook tour!! Here’s the tour of my oldest sketchbook, from 2005-2007. It’s really different from my other sketchbooks and I feel like it shows a very different side of who I am as a person and as an artist. I hope it’ll give a new perspective on my artistic growth! 

Some of the stuff referenced in the video: 

 • I talk about an animation that I made for the dutch television show 2 voor 12. You can find the final animation here: https://vimeo.com/3748115

 • I mention Sylvain Chomet and Triplettes de Belleville as one of my big inspirations during this time. You can find an overview of his art and more info about his movies in this blog post: https://www.gregorlouden.com/blog/artist-profile-sylvain-chomet/

 • I mention that I created a coloring book with 3Dtotal and that it’s available as a free download now. You can find it here: https://shop.3dtotal.com/loish-coloring-book

 • I talk about an animation that I made for the Paperbag Parachute Studio project. You can find it here: https://vimeo.com/3744681

And just to get a general sense of the kind of work I was doing at that time, here’s two of my animation showreels that I made during my school years: 

 • https://vimeo.com/3747872 - this one is from 2007 and has some shots from that failed train animation in it. 

 • https://vimeo.com/7143945 - this one is from 2009 and has some shots from the fish in a bubble animation in it. 

Hope you guys enjoy! Let me know what you think! You guys voted for some mini-tutorial content next month, so I’ll be putting up a poll about what topic to cover in the tutorial soon. Please vote once it’s up and let me know what you’d like to see! And as always, thanks so much for your support!! ❤

Thank you for sharing this Lois! I definitely think the more caricaturized style in this sketchbook helped you create this unique look to your art!

Thank you SO much for sharing this with us, even though the memories are rough and it was an emotional time for you. I really feel for what you described about struggling between styles and what direction you want to take your art. I went through the same struggle through art college and still do to this day so it resonates strongly with me, and it's so encouraging to see how you worked through it. It's so interesting to hear your perspective on this time of your life after you've been able to think back on it for awhile. I remember at the time, seeing your heavily stylized animation work and feeling alienated by how different it was from your normal artwork. I was worried that you would never go back to drawing your wonderful illustrations. But after all that struggle, it really blended beautifully into how you draw now with so much life, expression, and fluidity that you learned through practicing animation. Even though it was tough, I hope you feel like it helped push you to where you are now, and made it worthwhile in the end 😄

Thank you Loish for sharing your vulnerable moment with us. It's so inspiring to hear your stories of being criticized back in school and now coming out of that.

thank you so much for your kind words! i'm happy to hear that you find it interesting. i think that many artists go through this, especially when they transition from drawing 'for fun' to trying to elevate it to a professional level. it's hard to adapt to the mindset that the way you drew before isn't enough somehow. looking back on this sketchbook, i think those challenges really enriched me as an artist and person in the end so i am grateful for those experiences, difficult as they were!

thank you! maybe i should try to bring some more of that exaggeration and edge to my current work.

I deeply relate to the sketches being more vivid memories than photographs.

Really enjoyed this very personal sketchbook tour, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It‘s so interesting to hear about the struggles with finding your own voice. I used to think, having started with art much later in life, that this sort of confusion wouldn‘t affect me as much, because, well, life experience! But it turns out, artistically, I sort of have to live through all of the disorientation in timelapse, because this part of myself hasn‘t really developed along with the rest. Like handwriting with your non-dominant hand.. So, very informative and helpful video!

Very relatable! I think every artist will go through this and continues to go through this at different points throughout their artistic growth. It's just part of the process, finding out what is "you" and what is the influence of others. goodl luck on your creative journey!

Hey Lois! Question from a new patron - I noticed your next sketchbook after this one in the tour was from 2012. Did you not keep a sketchbook for the 5 years following this one and then started up again? I've always had a complicated relationship with sketchbook consistency and I'm fascinated by how others interact with theirs through the years. By the way, I was totally in awe at the story-telling, characters, and interesting perspectives you used here and how strong your drawing was so early on, even if you don't relate to them now!

hey sarah! thanks so much for joining my patreon! as for your question, I think I wasn't consistent with a sketchbook at all between 2007-2012. I would sometimes sketch a little but it wasn't enough to fill up a book, or it was on loose sheets. I was doing mostly digital art at that time. in general I am super intermittent with my sketching phases! sometimes I sketch a lot and sometimes I don't sketch for years, or I focus more on making rough work in a different medium that doesn't fit in a sketchbook. thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this tour :)
