Things you don't know about this video: Ed and I are now on our way to the studioo! I'm so excited guys, I haven't been there in two or three weeks :.... ) I'm going to see if I manage to sew two masks for me and Ed now that I'll finally have access to my sewing machine (I missed that baby!) We're going to pack probably all day long, wish us luck! Plans for this weekend: PANCAKES, laundry ASAP (I'm wearing my last pair of underwear help) and I might dye my hair!
Honestly, if you released a book just of your sketches and ugly sketchbook I would buy it. hehe
OMG me too!!! Actually, that would be such a great idea! Please Fran, try this!!!! (no pressure) (or maybe, yes, a little pressure)
I would buy it too, i hhave some art books from my favorite artists so im waiting for frans
same
If i have money yes then me too
Yes! I love to see the organic process - love messy sketches
oh it takes me like a year to finish a sketchbook...i gotta step up my game!!! thank you for this video fran
a year is quick :P
I got some for years xD
Wow yall are brave souls because starting a sketchbook is scary.I just got a small Rendr sketchbook to practice alchol markers with.I'm using my practice sketchbook now,so I can save my best sketches and drawing for the sketchbook
Me even longer and I still buy new once 🙈✨ you and Fran are my Epidome of awesome artsyness never stop ...you both put me out of a hole I say ... I want to say thx to u both 💖✨
@@chocobun4879 try to not think of your sketchbook as something precious! the more art you make, the better you'll be. your sketchbook is your place to learn and experiment and have fun!! don't pressure yourself on saving your best work
Choco Bun Bruv, it isn’t anything but paper, don’t allow that to limit you or keep you away from practising. Nothing in life is _that precious_
that you should compromise your development as an artist over - especially a book. If you bought one, you can save up for another. They aren’t $1000 each... they might be expensive but in the grand scheme of things - they aren’t _that_ expensive.

Fran to her pencil sharpener: "Heheh.. heh.. Yes you are cheap."
😂😂😂♥️ Love you Fran
peepplum 😂😂😂😂 Fran is the best!!!! So authentic....
Buying a new sketchbook only when you finished one...
*laughs in 3 more Amazon orders*
Anna Waiq right?!?
Omg same 😭💀
*Me, lying on my couch with a cup of tea, half naked, under a hello kitty blanket, eating cookies, being gross and all, seeing Fran scratching her butt the first 3 seconds of the video* : Oh well
*scratching my butt*
Why is this comment from 2 days ago?
hahahaha aren''t we all doing the same?
@@roebenns7601 shes probably on her patron , and if you on her patron you can get early access to her videos (you gotta pay money tho)
Este es uno de los mejores comentarios que he leído y uno de los que más ha identificado 😂😂
"I still get aroused by paper." - Fran, 2020
Thats a new one to me,,,love it!
Oh, so I’m not alone
SHE SAID THAT AND I WAS AESIJDGOIJ I SCREAAAAAMED I SCREAAAAMEDD
please make a shirt that says this! even if its just for yo'self!
Yes.
I guess you like the sketches better because it’s the first time you put your idea onto paper. It’s more raw, magical and it just has this...energy of you pouring yourself to the paper.
and there's plenty of room for imagination! :D
I really love your humor, Fran. You're not even trying and yet you make my day
I’ve never heard someone say the word “bastard” so many times. I love you Fran!! 💜
I went through the same realisation recently. I was decluttering my apartment when I noticed how little I had used most of my art supplies. So I gave most of my copics and some marker paper to a teen in need, and got rid of a lot of fabric/ribbons/etc that I knew I’d never actually use. It was a great feeling. And I also stopped buying sketchbooks until my current one is finished, too.
I love the idea of an ugly sketchbook! Totally going to do this.
"Art supplies don't make a good artist. Practice makes a good artist." Gold! Love to you Fran from me in Australia 🦘. Rachelle xo
13:12 Lol, the woman with the baby in the shopping bag is so iconic!
The reference picture is called "Budapest Marketplace, 1984" if anyone is interested.
Watched this video while my 9 month old was playing on the floor and she stopped to wave at you, Fran! So hi from me and my daughter!
I can never get enough of these sketchbook vids. I was literally thinking "I wonder what sketchbooks Fran has been into lately..."
If you feel comfortable, could you do a video on some tips and tricks you've learned with guache?
Love your more casual videos, they make me feel like I have a friend over and discussing art supplies, haha. On the topic of your ugly sketchbook, I find it bizarre that so many people have one set aside specifically for 'ugly' sketches and experimentation - like, isn't that the whole point of a sketchbook in the first place, to experiment and let loose?? I dunno, I feel like the internet art scene is a double edged sword, on one hand everybody is better connected with one another, but on the other silly worries like sketchbooks not being beautifully illustrated and amazing each and every page seems to be counterproductive (I imagine this stems from fully rendered illustrations being touted as 'sketches')
But I know exactly what you mean about sketches being more expressive, it ties in with what I had said before. The point of a sketch is to experiment, let loose, and to warm up your art muscles, when you're not worried about the illustrative qualities of the artwork it makes room for pure passion and liveliness, through looser marks and haphazard lines. I dunno, I'm sorry if it feels that I am berating you, I don't mean for it to come off that way, but the idea that a sketchbook must be of publishable quality really irks me because it ultimately stifles creativity - ALL sketchbooks should have the freedom of an 'ugly' sketchbook, that's why it's a sketchbook :/
cheesesmiles exactly!! Im glad you get it, it also seems extremely disingenuous to call something a sketchbook if it all it’s filled with is fully rendered pieces
I get what you're saying but the thing with sketchbooks is that they're not just for loose sketches anymore but rather most artists use them for finished drawings and spreadsheets.
The term sketchbook stayed but the purpose changed.
If you look up what a Moleskine sketchbook costs you won't just fill it with drawings that are scribbles and whatnot.
Hence why you'd also buy a cheap sketchbook that you feel more comfortable messing with.
"Back in the day" (and of course a lot of artists still do so:) sketchbooks were filled with small ideas that were transferred onto "real", "better" paper or canvas, it was a book of ideas and brainstorming.
I totally get you but sketchbooks have changed a bit in its purpose. But I agree, we need to stop forcing ourselves to create perfect drawings on every page.
Artists looooove art supplies, and talking about them, and looking at them, and comparing them...so, repetitive video..pffffffft, no worries 😉 💗
I mostly have ugly sketchbooks XD it's just how I get ideas out of my head out.
It usually takes me years to fill a sketchbook except one time when I was so motivated and inspired and I managed to fill a sketchbook in one month.
My perfectionism is crippling, I choose not to, rather than to have it be imperfect. It's nice to see that represented in someone that can overcome it. I will give it a go - having a "messy" journal to sketch & write in and purposefully fight back against that feeling... ❤️ Thank you for the content Fran, lots of love.
Glad I’m not the only one with an obsession with good paper! My friends thought I was crazy XD
I'm French and I found the Talens (red) sketchbook in my local art store! I remember picking it up because it reminded me of the moleskine one that I can't afford, And I really love it! I've bought a few since then, different sizes, and I think I'm gonna stick with this brand!
Yes, I'm using the same (they come in three cover colours, but inside I believe they're all the same: red, white, black), it is way cheaper and the quality is very good (140 g/m2), tried it with a Pentel brush pen (slight bleeding out of contour) and light washes of watercolour wit no bleeding sideways or even on the other side of the page, which is amazing! ^_^ The page is yellow-ish, more than the Moleskine, but it doesn't bother me, I quite like it. :)
I'm finally about to start a new sketchbook - it's a midori one that you recommended years ago in one of your videos and I got almost a year ago when I was in London Graphic Centre (one of my fondest memories. the guy there helped me find the sketchbook, opened it for me to touch the paper and when I said it feels nice he got really excited and said "it smells nice too!") I wanna thank you for telling me about the sketchbook and about the place, thank you really!
If you're worried about the bleeding of copics in moleskine get some cheap acrylic paint! An opaque white and some nice pastel colour if you want to, you can easily draw on top with pencils and still erase it. Paint the page first before you colour on the other side with the markers, its way harder to cover the bleed through on the other side if you don't.
I'm glad you added the note at the end about the materials not making you an artist because I so get tempted to buy everything, need to remember it's about actually making art.
You DESERVE this nice sketchbook! That could be a sticker for all of us to remind ourselves that we deserve nice materials.
Thank you Fran. You make me happy, I love art supplies never tired of hearing you talk about them
i would literally by any one of frans sketchbook pages as a print, theres something so pleasant about the little writings accompanying the drawings
Me encanta ver este tipo de videos y compartir con alguien mi pasión por las cositas de dibujo 💛 Las libretas Talens son increíbles y super baratas para la calidad que tienen 😊
Very happy I became your Patreon during this Time! The generous amount of Content you post there each week is so wonderfully inspiring, soothing and uplifting. Sweetend my Time at Home quite a bit. Thank you!
I love these videos so much. In a time of chaos, these videos keep me calm
i laughed too hard at "scratching my butt" HAHAHAH
i love that you could have easily cut these "ugly" or "unflattering" details out but you keep it in because it's so you hehehe
That tiny pencil, oh my gosh! You need to get a pencil holder Fran, they also go by pencil extender or pencil lengthener. My hands cramp just watching lol! Your gouache work is always such a treat to see, I love your color choices! Makes me want to try them out, once I can get to the art supply stores!
love how you think fran!! art supplies dont make an artist!! 🗣 it’s all about your creativity!!
Ohmygod yes I've missed watching your videos like this! So therapeutic and cute and perfect for all kinds of weather 😂💖
I caught up with your videos while working on my own art this week and they were the best hours of my days. I just love your honest and genuine way. Thank you for sharing with us.
Sometimes our most imperfect drawings turn out to be our most perfect ones and that’s wonderful! I enjoy creating artwork without worrying about the outcome. I started using an ugly sketchbook the day I first heard you talking about it. Thank you for sharing, it has made it a lot easier for me. 🤗 🥰
So glad to see this video! I just wanted to talk to you too Fran
This is a pure Artists thingie ❤️ we never get bored of reviewing art supplies 💕💋
moleskine is my favorite sketchbook ever. i always spring for them because i've never found one i love nearly as much. i think it's okay to invest in the quality you enjoy, especially if you can afford it. i tend to try out more affordable options of other supplies, but my sketchbook is sort of sacred in a way, and i feel worth the extra money.
We are kindred spirits! I can feel the same excitement on you when you talk about art supplies as I feel when I talk about them! 😍
I rarely leave comments on your videos, but we gonna change that. I've been a subscriber since berlin and it's so amazing to see how much you grew, thank you for making content for us and also gracias por la inspiración constante, siendo de argentina jamás creí que podría llegar a vivir de lo que me gusta hacer y viajar a algún otro país y acompañarte en todo tu recorrido ha sido una de las mayores fuentes de motivación. Gracias por todo Fran
I totally have a dirty sketchbook and a nice sketchbook. Dirty sketchbook is a mishmash of thumbnails, lists, doodles, line drawings and full-on finished pieces. It is a great tool!
I could watch you talk about art supplies for hours! The supplies you use have made their way into my art too! Also really love the style of this video and the new edits 🥰
I miss this kind of videos. Glad you’re doing this again, Fran. ❤️❤️❤️
I missed those videos.
ive watched this three times so far....i just cant help myself i love it so much that there are people who share the enthusiasm of art supplies!!!
I just started trying moleskine sketchbooks for the first time after your recommendation because for me in the UK moleskine seems like it's very cheap, especially their watercolour sketchbook, and I'm really loving them! Might need to try the basic plain paper ones too for pencil.
Hi Fran, I just really felt the need to say how much I love who you are and how genuine you are with the things you create, and your love for the people that buy them. I was a little sad shipping was on hold for your planner, so I hesitated to order one.. but when I saw at the end of this video that you and Ed were heading to your studio TODAY, I flew/teleported to my laptop, almost stepped on both my cats, and ordered a planner! And guess what.. you kept your word and it was shipped today. My birthday is in 5 days so this was my, “treat yo self” birthday gift and I am so deeply encouraged by you, you have no idea. I watch your videos on repeat because they keep my dream of being an illustrator well fed and alive. Please don’t stop making videos like ever, and just IDK thank you being such an incredible human being. You’re a woman I want to imitate in this life, so.. yeah thank you.
All my sketchbooks are ugly... *nervous laugh*
Hahahaha!!!!😂😂😂😂 I can relate!!!!!
Aww I'm sure that's not true.
Mine too ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ
I feel the same way about sketching. I often like it more than finished works. I thought I was the only one!
Hey Fran, I like your make-up, how the bluiesh eyeshadow beautifully fits your hair colour and skin tone. Thanks for your overall simplicity and sincerity.
It’s been such a long time since the last time I watched one of your videos, I opened this one and honestly, though you talked about struggling at the very beginning, you’re glowing! Your videos still give me the same vibe they gave me back when I watched them to motivate myself to draw and this relaxed me so much, so thank you
Thank you Fran for giving all this tips and advice, it's very motivating and relaxing to watch your videos.. Love you! Kiss from France
Moleskine is pretty Great, but I really like the talens one as well! My go to sketchbook is actually the Leda art supplies sketchbook in medium, it’s larger thn A5 but not really A4 and just amazing sturdy paper.... its expensive but i am stuck with it for years now!
Love the color choice so much! I will try it some time in the future as well;)
Yes Fran in a sit down chat video
Me, here with my coffee 🤓☕️
Fran, I adore you! 😊 I always save your videos for watching while drinking my morning coffee. You give off such a blissful vibe and that’s what the world needs right now. ❤️ Please pick up a camera whenever you feel like it to talk about random things 🙌🏻
Honestly I love your content so much, I find it relaxing and yet inspiring! You inspired me to start my own art videos even though my style is very different. I also love seeing more of your life in NYC I wanted to go this year but after all the craziness I'll have to wait until it is all over :) Sending you so much love though and thanks for always inspiring!
love the way you work! i do not have 'nice' one, I use one for everything, for my notes, for my ides, for my schedule...everything in one place :D
thank you for sharing!!!
Always glad to have become a Patreon Fran. Thanks for sharing some of your art supplies you have now. I also find I love my sketches better than the final product.
Hi, Fran!
It is impossible for me not to congratulate you for the video, and for the way you approach the issue of conscious consumption among artists.
I'm Brazilian, fashion student, and I feel a very strong pressure today to have the best materials in the world and blah, blah, blah ... but we are going through a very critical phase all over the world and hear someone sensible saying: "I consume what I use" , it looks perfect!
SENSATE FAIRY!
I found myself so much happier with my sketchbooks when I started making them or using cheap ones I wasn't afraid to 'ruin'.
Same
Fran, maybe they are the same products but your experience with them through the years makes this video special, you gave us really special tips 🌼 love you! 💞
I wish one day I can be one of your Patreons. 🥺 te mando una nubecita ☁️✨
Querida Fran: quiero agradecerte por, en la pandemia, acompañar mis días con tus vídeos que me han servido para re encontrar la inspiración, conocer a una mujer chida, una historia de logro y una vida honestamente cotidiana. Soy tu fan de tu arte y de tu persona.
This video was needed so much! 💓 I am struggeling with starting my new sketchbook which I bought recently because it is so beautiful. It intimidates me and I feel pushed to draw something perfect in it... So instead I do not draw which makes me crazy and even more afraid of making mistakes on paper. Your "ugly" sketchbook idea is SO GREAT. It is INSPIRING and CALMING at the same time. I think everyone deserves such a safe space, everyone needs a sketchbook where they do not need to care and worry about the outcome all the time. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ✨🥰
When your "ugly" sketchbook is nicer than the best sketchbook you will ever fill ...*sigh*
Missed these kinds of videos!! thank you for making this ✨
In love with your art!! When I see your sketchbook it gives me so much motivation and inspiration ! *.*
It's amazing how your "ugly" sketchbook is as gorgeous as your other "good" sketchbook ! ANyway... it's always nice and relaxing to watch your videos :)
OMG, I just noticed that accidentally (unknowingly) started write my notes almost in very similar style like yours. I think I watch your vlog to much! I do it for years now, you’re my drawing buddy and reason why I decided to start my own illustration vlog - Thank You for endless inspiration and have a nice day!
That pencil sharpener part *chef kiss *
I'm so glad Jetpens exists so that I can never be out of my favorite Japanese eraserrrr!! Sakura arch foam for liiiife 😻😻😻
Yes! I like looking at art supplies too, and i rly like ur reviews esp when u test them 😍
I started appreciating painting with gouache because of you Fran! THANK YOU
Oh Fran, no sabes cuanto amo tus videos. Ahora mismo estoy con el corazón totalmente roto, con un bloqueo creativo increíble y encerrada como todos. Definitivamente son tiempos muy salvajes!. Pero tienes algo muy especial que hace sentir bien al alma
also, you bring an atmosphere, you bring joy and love, so whatever you talk about its very appreciated for years! Do not feel so conscious that you repeat your self! We love you!!!
YES you can click with a pencil sharpener! I totally understand the feeling of really enjoying using certain supplies that work just how you want them to. I feel that way about my 0.38 Pilot Coletto pens.
I have an ugly sketchbook, too! It's so nice to have a little sketchbook sanctuary to draw all the things I'm bad at drawing. It's important to make ugly drawings so we can improve!
Hey baby! Inya here, I'm an artist from Transylvania. I usually use the Hahnemuhle D&S sketchbooks! I looove them, even though they are made for dry media, gouache and watercolor works good, too. Aaaand just a note, I believe Moleskine is a dupe for Hahnemuhle hehe. The Moleskines of today are a revival of the old notebooks that some golden age writers loved. But Hahnemuhle, oh baby, baby they've been around since the 1500s. Loved your video, as always!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I loved the video!
You like it Fran, because it shows your process ~ the best part❤️
I love how often you laugh in your videos 😄
I like the concept of your ugly sketchbook. I am particular about things and I love them to be perfect..so even a sketchbook, after paying so much money, it has to be perfect. Thank you!
I was just thinking hmm what should i listen to while doing my photography work and then pop! notification for this video, lovely as always :)
I made myself a cup of tea and listened to you while I was eating breakfast. I'm not even an artist, I never draw, so I have no reason to listen to someone taking about art supplies. But oh, Fran, I would listen to you talking about anything! The way you make little mistakes in English or when you phrase things a bit awkwardly, I love it so much. Your genuine passion is so charming. My mother saw me watching your video and asked me if I wanted to start drawing and I said no. But even when you say something encouraging for other artists, I feel encouraged, too, to do my best with the things I'm passionate about. We love talking to you, dear Fran!
Aahhh ily so much, you really inspire me to get up and draw whatever i wanna draw, and thanks for that 🌿💖
mood: vibing with a pencil sharpener
🤣🤣🤣I couldn't help but laugh when u said Im not saying my art is ugly but ugh sometimes its is ugly 🤣🤣💀that made my day
Mitsu-Bishi pencil❣️Around 15 years ago my Japanese teacher upon returning to Japan distributed among us, pupils, some farewell gifts from her homeland. I took two Mitsubishi pencils. I found it so excellent that I still have a bit of one and the other untouched.
I really love your videos! Thanks for share this in this rare times! ☺️
Woohoo I love this! I am currently trying to work more on my sketches and this is really helpful!! Thank you Fran 😍😍😍
Hey, I really like your art! I think you are an Amazing artist. You’re gouache paintings inspire me a lot! Maybe you could do a video about how to use gouache and how you sketch with it? Kind regards
You are such an inspiration for me and my art channel ✨💜
I miss the colour variety from your old stuff 💜 maybe I'm just nostalgic because that's when I started following you, but it seems more joyful, while right now your drawings seem very calm (not a bad thing!! just different)
Oh darling fran. I have to say that, como tú ( no séporqué hablaba en inglés, si eres chilena como llo), me encanta que seas tan sencilla, puedes decir que habrás tenido una mala/buena semana, y luego hacernos lo peor, pero sin embargo se lee en tu hermosa y natural cara que no levantarás ideas falsas. por eso amamos. amamos la transparencia. al menos eso yo alabo y adoro. CHAO DESDE VIÑA DEL MAR!
I am such a perfectionist too! I started using ugly sketchbooks a couple of years ago and I love them! So experimental and raw and funny to go back and look through
Your video always delightful to watch. Thanks for sharing what's in your sketch books.
I really love the way you talk to your things XD (18:08 '' yes, you are cheap'')
I love you so mush, each time i saw your videos i feel like i don't want the video to end .. send you love from Egypt❤❤ stay safe💕
That you uploaded on my Birthday makes my day even better 💖💖💗 TvT
I love to see you talk, you are an inspiration and maybe it sounds like a cliché but it is what it is, and is real jaja I laugh, you make me feel so much better, jajaj Thankyou sosososooomuch Eres única Fran ☺!
yeeeeesss as soon as I saw a new video I got ready to cuddle up and draw while watching
the music is on point. geez
