So helpful! Thank you!

I just stumbled upon this video by chance after I started drawing various shapes and patterns with black pens (often mixed with watercolors) a few weeks ago. Even though I’m a total perfectionist and not particularly good at drawing or painting, it has absolutely captivated me and helped prevent me from reaching full burnout! So far, I was only familiar with doodling and Zentangle, which I enjoyed but didn’t feel fully connected to. Now, I’ve come across your video and heard about mark making for the first time, and it really resonates with my style and taste! Your video was super helpful, and I was able to take away some great insights! Thanks so much for that! PS: Since you mention your kids, I’m curious-how do you involve them in your practice? Do they sit with you while you’re drawing or being creative? My kids are 3 and 5, and I’m still trying to figure out how to integrate my “drawing meditation” into our daily routine.

Loved this, Jackie…Thank you ! 🤩💕

Thank You😊

Thank you 😊😊😊

Your story is so honest. No pretense, which is SO encouraging! You let us know that you worked HARD! You KEPT TRYING!!!! No magic, overnight successes! Thank you for KEEPING IT REAL!!! 👏🏾🙏🏾🔥🥰👏🏾🙏🏾🥰👏🏾🙏🏾🥰

This video is PLATINUM! 🔥🔥🔥 It is worth HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of views!!! This is probably the best practice exercise I’ve seen on RUclips! The results are STUPENDOUS!!! Thank you SO MUCH, Ms. Hernandez!!! 👏🏾🙏🏾🎉🔥👏🏾🙏🏾🎉🔥

Loved this video

I used to purchase a pack of tracing paper (8.5”X11”) and placed it between my drawing and the watercolor paper. No matter how hard I tried I always ended up with a messy watercolor sheet. Since then I either cover the back of my drawing with light graphite or, if I already know what paint is going where, I used a watercolor pencil. That pencil dissolved when I started painting. Your last method of just applying pencil where the drawing’s lines are is what I do if the drawing is very simple. Again, if I know what paint colors go where I will use a watercolor pencil on the backside of the drawing. Great video. I am sure many people learned a great technique.

U found learning to draw is why I no longer trace...

Love this idea! Thank you!!

Just found your channel today. So excited about your ideas.

Wow! Just found this today. Saving up to buy 3 of them for myself and two daughters.

Very informative! Thank you!

thank you ~ you make it look all so easy. :)

Hey Jackie. I signed up for the free prompts but they never showed up. I never received a verification email either. Email I used is correct. You might want to check your website

I like how you show different tools for different marks. The pen nib makes all the difference in getting the right look; thank you.

❤💙💜

This is an excellent video

These were fabulous ideas that provide tool control practice and can lend itself to many iterations with slight variations! Going to be part of my "Waiting Room Art" sketchbook!😃

Thanks for sharing very relaxing and calming. I have done doodling 5-6 years now and enjoy it so much 🙌

Brilliant video love this idea i do this in a composition note book but these smaller journals look fun 😊 i would recommend polychromos pencils they layer beautiful but are harder so keep a sharper point longer and you can buy open stock they are awesome 👌 ❤

I am still having problems with negative painting could you please put another video for us

That’s a lot neater than mine will be. It looks professionally printed ❤

I've been enjoying the Mark making kit 😊 thank you so much ❤

I was eagerly awaiting this video and am so delighted! This is such a simple and undaunting gateway into creating a sketchbook; I could have watched you make marks all day--it was just so soothing. I just bought your mark making kit and am excited to get started. Thank you, Jackie!

Love. your Kit -- have been. having great fun with my marks. Made a couple of "zines" with them, and they are pretty cool, if I do say so myself!

I bought your kit and I loved it. I’m practicing in my free time.

Stunning luv the colours

👍👍👍👍👍👍

So inspiring 🎉

so cool just made 3💕

Thank you

THANK YOU ! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

Wow!!

I agree that outside creative pursuits can fuel our artmaking in good ways. For me, swimming for both pleasure and fitness is my favorite. But also tending to plants, beautifying my home, cooking, walking, and exploring museums and bookstores.

Thank you! I do a lot of sketchbook ink drawing and mark making and also find it very relaxing and gratifying. This video gave me some new perspectives on approach, such as settng up a pencil grid or using my compass (which I use in my collage work but never thought to use for sketchbook mark making). What a great idea.

I LOVE this video- thanks so much for sharing all of this information! 🙂

What a fabulous idea! I can’t wait to try this. Thank you for being so thorough and slow with instructions so we can follow. Plus your backgrounds are gorgeous!! Wow. 😮😮

Thank you Soo much for such a helpful

😍 I love your art style and this brilliant and fun idea.

I'm new and just subscribed! I love this video. Thank you for sharing your personal life. I also lost my mother to Alzheimer's at 79. Funny your last name was my maiden name. I am now retired and started doing some drawing to deal with the stress of caring for my father in law who has dementia. Art does seem to help with stress and I've always liked drawing anyways. Few hobbies I have are cooking and walking in nature. You're absolutely correct it has a positive effect on creativity.

love your ideas on mark making! Looks like a relaxing exercise. Just subscribed!

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I see you have the papers taped. What kind of tape? I have an old fashioned light box that doesn't have a non-light edge. Is it OK to tape to the light surface without harm? Thanks again.

Simple inspo & totally achievable in my busy day... While having my morning cuppa or just needing quiet time... Thanks for this!!! ❤

This is a really great video !! Thank you 🤩🤩🏆🏆🎉🎉🤗🤗

Worst advice ever. Your tape method doesn't work because your wetting the paper BEFORE tapping it down. Tape it down with gum tape THEN you wet it. NOT after. After its dry, Then you paint...voila!, it doesnt buckle because its pre-"stretched" which is the wrong term to really use... Because you never actually stretch the paper, you are securing it and letting the shrink process happen by resisting it. That causes the paper to flatten and resist the wrinkling the next time its wet. The term STRETCHING is not meant to be litteral. You dont actually stretch the paper. its just resistance to the wet shrink process. please get an art degree and tell me they teach different, ill wait. Also, If your paper is larger than A3, staples will TEAR the paper from the shrink no matter how many you use, never use staples. Just another amateur youtuber trying to sell art books as a side hustle to people who don't know better. For crying out loud her finished piece is a wrinkled mess. So adorable how ever millennial soccer mom learns a skill at a super elementary level then becomes a RUclips expert selling cheap eBooks etc. Can't wait for all the triggered soccer moms comments to this. lol <Made by spambot24 using ChatGPT>

Great video and just subscribed! Thank you

I love how you make even complex topics feel simple!

Just discovered your videos and I love them. My hobbies: gardening, jewelry making, playing piano and playing picklball. I have tried many different types of art making…still have not found the right one for me…
