since i'm a young artist (about to be 14), i go onto social media and look at some of my favorite artists and see how they draw. it really helps to see what kinds of styles you feel comfortable drawing in.
Ok Maria i think it's time i come for tea at your house. I can imagine what an amazing time i would have just sitting and looking at all the sketch books you have and all the amazing sketches in them. Im sure they tell a few stories. You are an amazing artist. :} xx
Your sketchbooks are absolutely gorgeous. And such skill you have!! The years of practice it must've taken you to get where you are today... You're such an inspiration! Thank you!
This is a really high quality list. I love how you talked about "categories" of ways to use a blank book, instead of just strictly the art fundamentals/experimentation category!
I nreally love your building drawings, with the buttom part vanishing. Seeing the ink flowing downwards without any drawing there looks awesome. You have inspired me to try doing some :)
Love your sketchbooks! I use mine as a everyday journal as well as sketchbook. I have my travel adventures, comics, quick drawings, and journalings all in one place :)
Loved your Sketchbook, and good ideas for filling it--got one myself at Xmas, and try to do a couple of pages a week. I have subscribed and will be fun nosying into your arty stuff--nice presentation too well done
astandsforali thank you so much!! 💕 The outline is done with a sakura micron pigma liner in 005 tip size in black and the color is done in watercolor (Schmincke Horadam). All the white parts are just the paper shining through. The sketchbook is the Stilman & Birn Alpha series sketchbook (A5 size, soft cover). :) I highly recommend both the Schmincke watercolors and the sketchbook 💕
The fish was one we saw when we were scuba diving in Ko Tao, Thailand and the vegetables and fruit were all things we ate and loved :). Thank you so much for watching the video and leaving a comment
I'm currently thinking about working on a comic so I use mine for anatomy practice, (since I'm only 13 and I'm not the good ^^') new characters, and random sketches or finished pieces of some of those characters
Du hast einen total schönen Stil und die Skizzen und Bilder sehen fantastisch aus😍 vor allem die Star wars Bilder finde ich richtig gut😏😂 und generell wie vielseitig du zeichnest ist sehr inspirierend😍
viiiiielen lieben Dank!! :) Ich habe gerade angefangen zu üben mehr Leute zu zeichnen (das mache ich fast nie und deshalb kann ich es auch noch überhaupt nicht) und ich fühle mich wie der totale Zeichen-Lose, da kam dein Kommentar gerade richtig um mich zu motivieren nicht aufzugeben. Danke dir dafür!
You speak German? That's so cool!! Deine Skizzenbücher sind echt toll und dieses Video hat mich motiviert! Ich benutze mein Skizzenbuch hauptsächlich für OCs Ideen oder Journal/Travel book. Die Idee mit dem "Vor-skizkieren" was man später zeichnen möchte finde ich super, werde ich ab jetzt auch machen, danke!!
What kind of sketchbook was the Brown toned paper one. I loved the size and look of it. Plus i6 looked like it held up pretty well with your inks. Brown toned paper is some of my favorite to use.
It is made by the brand "Hahnemuehle". I love using toned paper as well, though I just recently got into it. Do you have any tips for inks, markers etc. that you like to use on your toned paper?
palestblue I have noticed my toned paper soaks up my copics quite a bit so that is something I try and keep an eye out for. I just started using copics this year. Especially during inktober. I noticed you liked how white popped on the toned paper I recommend trying different white mediums for different effects. For some things I like jelly rolls, primsacolor pencils, and sometimes chalk pencils. I also recommend trying other toned colors. I have a grey one which I dont use as often but it is great for certain projects, some companies are actually producing other colors as well ^-^
palestblue oh and one thing I super recommend lol is dip pens on toned paper the look and feel is so great. Though if the paper has too much of a tooth it gets tricky
{ Lauren Maxine } haha I'm not sure :D I used to hate my handwriting but I have kind of made my peace with how it looks :D. Thank you so much for all the love!!
I showed some traveler's company traveler's notebooks (the slim ones), a Hobonichi techo, a Canson mixed media sketchbook, a hahnemuehle toned paper sketchbook, a Stillman & Birn alpa series mixed media sketchbook and some moleskine sketchbooks in this video :)
All the art in this video was drawn and painted by me. The pieces at 2:28 were done in black pen (Sakura Micron Pigma Liner pen) on Bristol Board paper :) Thank you so much for watching!
I’m new to your chanel, but I loved the video! Really good ideas. I was just curious, what journals did you use? Because I have been looking for a good journal for the past few months since where I live, there aren’t many art supplies stores and the bigger ones are on the other side of the city.
I just found your channel and realized your German? Your pronounciation is so good, did you grow up bilingual? I'm always pleasantly surprised to found good German RUclips Channels, because through the German RUclips Trends my whole opinion about it was kinda ruined...
Amazing tips! Seeing all your amazing art all at once is overwhelming (in a good way). By the way, your accent is practically nonexistent now- how did that happen?! ♥️
I'm a artist at cartoons and I need inspiration....and I wanted to know how to fill in my sketchbook in a odd way.....but unique.....like you filling it with pictures and writing....I might do that now...thanks! Also sorry to ask but do you have anything to suggest for....post apocalyptic futures????
thank you so much! :) Post-apocalyptic futures... mh... you mean art ideas or general world building ideas? I love cyberpunk-inspired future worlds, because I think we are all so very much used to technology that we would find a way to make it work even if if was harder than it is now - so I imagine there would be a lot of creative ways of finding the energy and tech supplies to make awesome looking computers and other electronics. I love the idea of it all looking kinda punk-inspired, all patched up and with lots of neon colors that pop out from the dark and gloomy surroundings. I am also a big fan of terrible weather conditions - heavy rainfall or crazy strong sun emission. That would make for some awesome fashion (with lots of layers and big hoods. I guess it would all depend on the apocalyptic scenario you are going for :). Ah, I looooove world-buliding so much!!! Are you working on post-apocalyptic art right now?
Well yes (sort of) you see it has to involve with a bomb destroying everything and humans. animals, computers, and various things mutate...and they make a new society years later...I don't think post apocalyptic is what I'm looking for....idk...I need help....
Mh, that does sound post-apocalyptic... are you going for a more back-to nature world after everything is destroyed? And in which way do things mutate? So are there no more humans? :)
Boogie Woogie I am sure you will finish one of your sketchbooks one day!! I totally get it, it is a daunting journey to fill a sketchbook up all the way 💕
Maybe it's a stupid question🙈: in your art journal, you begin to write and later you put drawings in holes that you leaved? (I don't know if this make sense😂)
all the time I was just just agressively whispering "how". your works are unbelievably perfect
ok but your sketchbooks are so neat and clean and your handwriting omg
countingtofifty thank you so much!!! 💕💕
since i'm a young artist (about to be 14), i go onto social media and look at some of my favorite artists and see how they draw. it really helps to see what kinds of styles you feel comfortable drawing in.
that is a wonderful idea, thank you so much!
you're welcome
Thank you so much, I am so happy that I inspired you
this is really motivating 😊 thank you for showing us your wonderful artworks ❤❤
Thank you so much!
if you're not inspired, watch a movie and pick something out of there to draw.
That's a great tip! :)
ARMY :D
I use my sketchbooks as a bullet journal, a quote sketchbooks and an art sketchbook. I have also one where I try to draw music
Oh, drawing music, that sounds amazing, I need totry that!! :)
Ok Maria i think it's time i come for tea at your house. I can imagine what an amazing time i would have just sitting and looking at all the sketch books you have and all the amazing sketches in them. Im sure they tell a few stories. You are an amazing artist. :} xx
Wendy woo ooooh, I would LOVE that!!!
Your sketchbooks are absolutely gorgeous. And such skill you have!! The years of practice it must've taken you to get where you are today... You're such an inspiration! Thank you!

Thank you so much!!
Your art journal idea is somerhing I gotta do! I journal AND draw, and that works so well
perfect! It sounds like art journaling may be just the thing for you!
What did you use for the fruit on the bottom left corner at 1:25? Is that gouache? Also what sketchbook did you use? It looks like it's good quality!!
astandsforali thank you so much!! 💕 The outline is done with a sakura micron pigma liner in 005 tip size in black and the color is done in watercolor (Schmincke Horadam). All the white parts are just the paper shining through. The sketchbook is the Stilman & Birn Alpha series sketchbook (A5 size, soft cover). :) I highly recommend both the Schmincke watercolors and the sketchbook 💕
ahhh I figured it was the Stillman and Birn sketchbook. I've been watching too many reviews on it. Time to save money lol
Oh, I know the feeling! I debated buying this one for a long time and finally caved for our Thailand trip, haha :)
First time watching you, I just wanna say that you have great ideas and that your journals are very lovely! I love them! Thanks for the inspiration :3

What are the brands of the sketchbooks
the tan one is from Hahnemuehle and the black hard cover ones are from Moleskine. The thin tall ones are from the Traveler's Company :)
Are you draw from your mind? Isn't it hard to draw something without reference
?
Love! ♡ :) TFS! :)

Where can I buy a sketchbook? I don't find it in the shops in my town ._.
You could check online? Where do you live? There may be some great online art-stores that ship to your country/area
Maybe it's a stupid question🙈: in your art journal, you begin to write and later you put drawings in holes that you leaved? (I don't know if this make sense😂)
I usually draw first and write/journal later :)
palestblue oh, ok:) thank u💕
You're welcome :)
I need ideas right now :)
Красота!!!
thank you so much! :)
I saw Tessa Gray necklace ♥️
Yeeees!!! :) Do you like the Infernal Devices Trilogy? I am soooo excited for the final book in The Dark Artifices!!
@@palestblue yes I do♥️
what type of sketchbooks did you use as your travel journals?
