Ikr! Hopefully you will find some irl ones but in the meantime that online sessions will fill that gap for you ☺️

Oh, I keep at least 10 sketchbooks at any given time 🤣 (seriously) I’m definitely chaotic. I can’t imagine only having one at a time. Different sketchbooks are for different vibes. lol So it was easier to keep to the 3 colours though I never managed this in the past. I think I found the colours I really liked and it helped. Congrats on finishing inktober! It’s still a big achievement, even if you don’t feel original. I think most people come up with the same ideas and that’s ok! The purpose of inktober is not really to be original but to draw for a month every day. I think. It’s good practice. Maybe you could pick your favourites and expand on them? For example, redraw it a few times trying to make it weird and very different to your original idea. But it’s ok to leave it in the past too! I’m sure you’ll find something in it in the future but it’s ok to move on and find new inspiration elsewhere. I did peachtober very low key as I always struggled and compared myself to others and this year I set the goal to “just draw and not spend too long” which meant the goal was to make imperfect drawings so I had less fomo seeing so many beautiful finished pieces. I hope you get the joy of drawing back soon!

Hmm I’m not sure if my reply saved as it’s not showing. Hopefully it will show up 😅

@@WeirdIsTheBest Oh I usually keep one royal talents for mixed stuff and one for wet media, but they both are very chaotic haha. They have some art journaling vibe which I really like. But maybe I'll try to grab some small sized sketchbook and try to do it with limited colors. I've tried to do couple of mono color drawings during inktober (not black :D ) and while it was challenging it was definitely fun ^^ I havent looked at lots of inkotober posts so it's not even about comparasion to others, so I'm not sure what's my problem is :/ Especially since I finished it on time - so it was definetely a good practice since I tried different technices and such and it was pretty fun doing it but afterwards I was just like "well done and done". I watched Katie's Moody video about challenges and I think it helped me a bit tho. I've also done watercolor month in July I think? And I liked the feeling afterwards more.

I guess the challenge is just not for you. That’s ok. It’s just a challenge and if it doesn’t work, you don’t need it! Inktober , in the past, I found a bit tough. I can definitely recommend birbfest ruchu is in January I think and super fun but definitely challenging. Well done for completing inktober on time! Mono colour sounds great and like a nice way to constrain the mediums. I’ll have to try it soon, maybe as a personal challenge. I hope you regain your love and enjoyment of drawing very soon (if not already).

Aww Reb! You’re too kind! ☺️ thank you so much!

Thank you Arati! I loved watching your sketchbook tours also! 😊

Hi and thank you so much for your kind words! ☺️ that’s so lovely to hear. What’s a diamond painting? I’ve never heard of out. Is it a painting technique? Either way, it sounds really cool and wintry! I’m definitely still in autumn/fall mode 🍂🍂🍂

@ it is like color by number, but you attach individual plastic “gems” to a glued canvas with a grid. It is very calming to my brain, and I work on them for small times and go back to finish when I can. It’s colorful and satisfying. You don’t make many decisions so it is nice sometimes!

Ah I think I know what it is as I’ve seen someone’s doing this before. Sometimes Ira just so nice doing something similar like that. I tend to do jigsaw puzzles etc or go for walks to relax in this way.

@@WeirdIsTheBest oh yes! I’ve done lots of puzzles too! Sometimes we all just need to turn our minds off! Walking is a great activity too!

@raidermomcathy2043 yes! I hope you enjoy your diamond snowman ⛄️

Thank you so much! My lesson would be: It’s better to stick to a smaller set of colours and I also learnt to use values better I think. I also found filling the gaps with plants and tickets etc makes for better memories and prettier spreads! ☺️

I think so too! It’s hard to get used to drawing less and having less time to draw after filling sketchbooks very quickly over the summer, so this challenge really helped me finish it off ☺️

Thank you so much!

Yay! I’m glad you liked it! I really didn’t realise how many “yellows” I had until this video 🙈

Ps: I’ve got loads of swatching videos in my swatching playlist 👀 ruclips.net/p/PLXbzznFG_2rx4NJTdh-IlWP2gv-9hyzbd&si=0LZU6AGMvdKK8hML

Right? That lilac is amazing. Thanks! I’m already feeling much better 🤘🏼

Right! It was really hard to control myself and not get all the possible colours! So neat and nice (and inexpensive)

It is lovely isn’t it! I really need to use paints more often!

Ha ha ha great! I thought I’d be brave and share the video as it was pretty much 😅😂 thank you! Oh yes, lilac is so nice!

I just wanted to say - found lilac and royal blue in my own pallete and I love using them to tone paper in my sketchbook. Thanks again for this creative boost <3

@patheticwimp oooh I’ve got to try that! Do you mean, you paint an underlayer with them?

@@WeirdIsTheBest yup, exactly :) I'm using sketchbook with true wait paper atm and i dont really like how bright it is so I'm experimenting with underlayers

@patheticwimp that’s such a cool idea! I never do that but I tried it in the past as a test. Gotta try it next time I paint something 👀

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you like them 😀

Yay, thank you! I’m so glad you like them. The update is live now btw (sorry I’m enabling he he he 🤣)

Aww you’re the kindest Reb! Thanks for such a nice comment 😊

These ones I got from Poland. You can find them in the UK at Jackson’s Art website though!

Oh, and I reeeeeally like that mushroom drawing and your choice of purple colour for it

Thank you so much! Ha ha oops! I’m now committed to painting more with watercolours as I always avoid it at all costs but now I got even more paint, I have to! Indigo is such a nice colour! I can’t imagine not having indigo in my life! Royal blue too! Btw my next video is going to be swatching these paints!

That’s so nice to hear! Thank you so much ☺️

Hi Phillip, did you mean to comment this under my video? I can’t remember mentioning anything about „annoying children” in my video? Maybe something got lost in translation perhaps?🤔

Yay, thank you friend! 😊

Thank you so much! I’m already feeling a little better so hopefully recover fully soon. I’m glad you prefer the videos unedited! I always worry about not editing bits out enough so that’s really nice to hear that you prefer unedited 😍

Wow I had no idea they were Czech! 🇨🇿 It’s such a nice store; I almost didn’t visit it because I assumed it will only stock one brand (less interesting) but it turned out to have so much variety😍

Thank you so much! That’s great to know 😃

Do you mean the scoring board or stapler?

Amazing. I have the video queued up for editing. I fell a little bit behind on RUclips, but hopefully catching up this week 😅 glad you got inspired by the comics!

Thanks Debs! I’ll definitely do another one in the future 😁 it was really fun answering the questions. Thank you! Can’t wait to get there and to have a bit of time off too 😄 Glad to have kept you company while you worked. I hope you were productive ✨

Also part two is out now too if you’re interested 😀 ruclips.net/video/zsarKxfjzq4/видео.htmlsi=x7Zfb38Z7OJgj049

@@WeirdIsTheBest I was! You were wonderful company as always with your videos, Kama😊✨

@@WeirdIsTheBest I’ll put it in the queue!😁

@debbiedrawsfunny 😘you’re the best!

That’s so nice to hear. I hope the video inspired you to try some comics! When I started reading them I was surprised how different they were from what I expected! No superheroes etc which was what I always thought most comics were!

👋 hi, lovely to see your comment! Thank you. Oooh maybe I’ll be brave enough and try painting trees with the brush. I’m still too scared about using these pricey brushes 😬🤣 I’ll get there, perhaps once I’m done with all the markets this year 🤩 I keep meaning to do more painting. Thanks so much for the tips ✨

Thank you Ellie! It’s a weird new format for me but I did enjoy recording ☺️ glad you like the graphic novels!

Thank you so much Reb! I wish I could show it he he but I think RUclips would not like it 😅🤣 I do love my graphic novels though!

Thanks a lot! That’s really nice to hear especially as for some reason my recent videos didn’t do as well as my previous ones. So I’m glad that it’s still relevant to my audience ✨

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

That’s amazing (about both these things!) Are you originally from Poland or are you just visiting? I love going and wish travel was easier (I’m not a good traveller 😅). Can’t wait to see the family (for the food and the 🍂 autumn too!)

@WeirdIsTheBest my grandmother was from Poland originally, and moved to the US. This will be my first time there.

That’s lovely! I hope you enjoy it! It’s a really nice place to visit. I highly recommend placki po węgiersku (unless you’re vegetarian) they’re a massive hash brown on steroids lol or cheese and mushroom croquettes or parowance (which are very similar to bao buns). Can you tell I miss the food 😅😂

@WeirdIsTheBest i cannot wait for the food. Taking a screenshot of your reply so I remember these 🤤

@Theswordinthesewn yay! I hope you love it all

Thank you so much!

Thank you for add the lovely questions! I don’t think I know that song. Need to check it out 👀

That is a great karaoke song 🎵 great choice Melissa!

Something locked up my comment halfway through! 😏 I really loved your Drawing Is Free drawings. ❤

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks! Those sessions really helped me get better at drawing in general. 💖

Thank you so much! It was a new experience for me and I definitely want to try this more! ☺️

@@WeirdIsTheBest You're brave! And you seem really comfortable 😃

That’s really good to know☺️ thanks 🤩

Aww Melissa, you’re the nicest! 🤩💖

Thank you Reb! Vacations can be hard to do art on, but I was lucky enough to go on a relaxed one 😀

Thank you! Yeah, I keep misspelling it! 😅

Almost perfect cmyk! Ha! They do pop!

Right? They knew what colours to pick better than I would have! I really liked them all together. And thank you Paola! 💖

They do! I was positively surprised!

Thank you so much! I really enjoy sharing my sketchbooks so I’m glad you like it 😀

Amazing! Hi 👋 which cover did you buy? I love them all, and hope to get the ones I still don’t have yet.

👋

😁

Yes!!! All I have to do is just look 👀
