A tip regarding sketchbooks: I draw on random pieces of paper, whatever I have on hand. It really is way less intimidating than having this pristine book that you're too scared to touch. BUT you can just cut out the drawings and doodles that you're proud of or that you like for whatever reason and glue them in a dedicated notebook. That way you can still have a collection of your daily work and something you can look back on and see your improvement.
Very, very good advice. Thank you!
@@eyonil2604 happy i could help 🤗
Yesss i do this with painting! I find that ripping a piece of paper out of a watercolor pad is so much more helpful in me getting out of my head and not worrying if it will look great.
this is such a good tip!! I have always been soo scared of doodling and practicing in my pretty sketchbooks that I end up not drawing at all. This would definitely help a lot 🎀l💗✨️✨️
I do this quite often. Also, if I want to use a medium that won't work well in a sketchbook I want to use, I will create the artwork on the "proper" paper and then add it to my sketchbook. I like the idea of having one just for sketches though.
I always appreciate when accomplished artists reveal the doodles and sketches that they are not overly proud of. It's relatable.
I usually aim for 10-15 minutes a day, and then painting on the weekends. Only thing I kinda disagree with is “not drawing in sketchbooks”, but only because I like having a chronological record of my progress and I don’t like having loose sheets of paper laying around. Also I take my sketchbook everywhere so I can draw when I’m bored wherever I am.
I have found that using ring bound refillable notebooks as sketchbooks gets me over the 'I don't want to ruin my sketchbook' intimidation factor and I can fill them with all kinds of papers from watercolor to copy paper and scraps and packaging paper etc. Having a pocket size notebook of some kind (like maybe fieldnote or similar) would also help keep it always available on the go you never know when you get a moment and see something interesting. If you can't finish on time just snap a picture and finish it later. Great video!
it really helps the fluidity of being able to draw, if i don’t draw for a few days it always takes too many hours to get back into it
THIS IS GOLD
Recently, I discovered that if the notebook is dotted, it’s not so scary to use it XD. It already has marks on it, so I can’t make it worse 😀
I was just about to post the same comment 😂 I want to sketch in a book so I don't lose any drawings and for easy access to paper. A cheap notebook with dotted pages removes the intimidation factor for me.
I couldn’t agree more that regularly sketching is wonderful to receive satisfaction in drawing for drawing sake vs. expecting a finished piece. Just moving that hand is like taking a refreshing walk in the woods. It’s renewing. It helps to always remind me the joy of drawing. My long term art projects don’t always feel satisfying because of the time and effort put into it. There much less pressure when just doing my regular sketching and sometimes I like my sketches more than my finished pieces. It helps me practice keeping loose. But, I do prefer to use a sketchbook because I like seeing my progress and thought process, similar to an album or journal. How I get over that mental hump of using a sketchbook is having more than one - one is an “art book” where I practice making more refined drawings and another is a “whatever” sketchbook so it can sketch something messy or refined…just whatever I feel. Setting that intention for the sketchbook helps me. Best to you 🫶🏼
As someone who’s an ambivert, I find drawing in public motivates me to practice, especially at coffee shops. It feels like I’m actually doing something lol. Drawing at home makes me feel cabin fever after a while. It also might create opportunities for commissions if people see your work
Thank you Sara, you did inspire me! I appreciate you being real and showing us drawings that are half finished! Sometimes I get discouraged because it takes me so long to complete a drawing but I dont have to!
The 'no pressure' random sheet of paper drawing advice might be for me. Some of my favorite sketches ever have been on the backs of homework and things like that haha.
I needed this video. It came at the right time. Now I feel better about my doodles and art that goes nowhere.
The copy paper tip is so helpful!
I remember only using copy paper as a kid and having so much creativity. Once I got into sketchbooks is when that creativity was stunted by the permanency of, like you had mentioned. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Sketchbook aesthetic is a real fear! But I’ve finally let go and let “ugly” pages stay! And I can’t believe I’m about to finish my second sketchbook ever!
I started doing weekly drawings and its helped so much!
Wow, this video is super inspiring! 🎨 I love how you break down your daily drawing routine and make it seem so achievable. It’s really motivating to see your progress and hear your tips. I’m excited to start incorporating some of these ideas into my own practice. Thanks for sharing your process and encouraging us all to keep drawing! ✏✨
your art is so pretty my jaw dropped when you put them on screen😭❤️
My everyday doodling makes my art better. I do it whenever I listen to music or podcasts. I start with no pressure and a lot of times end up with pieces I really like.
Another piece of advice: stop watching sketchbook tours or anything that makes you feel insecure about your sketches
I took your advice and it really helped me, thank you so much.❤❤
I love this type of videos that you make. :D
I love it. It's so real. We all want to be a great artist, and videos like this one are motivating to those that can't afford the time to do it more often.
loved this, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the subject. For me, i actually love to have all tucked in together in a sketchbook and having all the ugly art contrasting with the good one... it´s a good reminder that the only importan thing is to actually be there, you´ll have good and bad days so, use a scketchbook, mess it up, and then you´ll have all your life in one place, easy to bring with and to share if you´re one of those that like to share ugly art hahahhahah
Ps: i´m currently using the cheapest scketchbook, i´m not inmune to the idea to destroy a good quallity expensive one hehe
Thank you! i feel like i needed this. it's been a few months for me to try to go back to drawing but i just didn't know where to start and that made me postpone it every day. BUT now i know that i just want to draw and that's it and that's enough to start :)
You are what you do every day
I was only like 1 min into the video and you were already speaking such FACTS! I am one of those individuals who no longer considered myself an artist for the very reason you have mentioned. This is such an important and encouraging video, thank you so much for sharing this! ✨👏💛
This video inspired me a lot! Thank you!
Great tips, thank you for sharing them!
I needed this video!! Thank you😚
Drawing daily is really such an important thing 🫶 I’m really challenging myself this year and trying to do it ALMOST daily! Also trying to get consistent with practicing the basics! Booooring at times but so necessary ☺️
I’m inspired! Thanks for sharing!
These tips are really helpful to meee!!! Thank you so much
Thank you!❤
thanks for keeping things real, i love this video! you inspire me so much❤
Thank you for showing your practice sketches! It is inspiring and it takes off the illusion that artists only create breathtaking sketchbook spreads ❤ I myself keep multiple sketchbooks - main, good quality one for pretty pieces, smaller, cheaper ones for ideas and color / composition / planning of the pretty pieces 😉 and one that is only for exercises and practice :)
I recently started sketching and I wanna put in the time.get better at it,this was great.
I'm currently taking part in the daily doodle diary challenge and attempting to draw every day of 2024 and you're right, that is absolutely crazy haha 😂
Hi, whats the challenge called? Is it free?
Id like to do more sketching
@@casey6222 yep, there’s different variations, I’m doing daily doodle diary so I draw everyday in a diary (there’s videos on my channel to see), you could also get one of those 365 prompts books, that could be good since it’s not dated so you can just pick one 😊
This was helpful, thanks! I'd love to see a video where you explain more how to lay out your sketchbook spreads, plan them and make them look cohesive. I tend to struggle with having illustrations just look like a bunch of separate items on a page instead of a cohesive spread!
love this! I recently posted a video about drawing for 20 minutes a day and it's definitely helped me get over that fear of needing every drawing to be amazing and loosen up in my sketchbook
This been my problem I draw frantically for a month then nothing for months , I need to learn consistency 😅
I am participating in the #100daysofdrawingchallenge at the moment! Needed this motivational peptalk. ❤ Thank you! 😊
My apologies as this has absolutely nothing to do with art, but I find you so beautiful! Your eyebrows are MWAH!
Drawing daily for just a month have already proven to be achievable and do-able by the king of youtube himself, Pewdiepie started learning drawing and if he can do it daily so can we !
You always inspire me but I do sketch while out, at work on break, at the bar that my boyfriend DJs at, anywhere I feel the urge
I feel so called out but you are right I should invest in myself as an artist.
Excellent ideas!! Thank you!
For about a year I’ve been carrying a tiny sketchbook with me and a pen that has 4 colors to work, 4 days out of the week I draw 15-20 mins during my lunch break. Drawing strictly with pen has massively improved my drawing skills
That’s perfect! What a great way to get your practice in for the day, I hope you continue!!
I agree with the pen thing! I have a pen only sketchbook and I've improved the most as an artist since drawing in it regularly.
Thank you sooo much ❤
Thank you!
I love how Sara looks like her art. She's so plush and rosey🤗❤️
yes!!so truee
I love the tip of using loose sheets of paper to draw on. I never considered this, despite doing this exact thing with my watercolor practice. Does that card stock take a little watercolor well enough for simple line and wash?
I'd like to do more sketching. I am not creative at all and don't know how to draw without a reference (as in id 1:1 draw the same thing as on the reference)
What things do you draw daily? How do you come up with ideas?
Just have sketchbook for messy sketches. It doesn't have to be a work of art. That's what sketchbooks were for until social media pressured people into turning them into works of art.
I miss drawing at least drawing almost every day. It’s just not manageable at the moment… but I want to change that as soon as possible.
What is the minimum age to your Inspirational Art Retreat to Greece with Sara Tepes?
I draw daily, but I never got good.
Probably focus on learning one thing at the time. Practice that daily until it becomes good or acceptable
Hi Sara! Are you still active on Patreon?
Hey sara , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
Please, next video, talk slower or are you in a race?
Some videos I talk slower, some faster 🤷♂️
