As a mixed media project, the QR code thing is interesting, for sure. And I get it, text instructions in tutorial books can be cumbersome. But if I'm buying physical media, I'd want the full package as physical media. I wouldn't want a book like that to become obsolete the second the internet goes out or the videos are lost to server issues or whatnot.
I can appreciate the ingenuity though.
Sometime I feel like drawing purposely “bad” helps be do art so I know that I’m just playing around and not stressing on trying to make it look good and just having fun
Im the same 😂 sometimes I just draw something really bad or stupid and then I just relax for the first time in a while lmao
and it’s fun for experimenting! when i’m doing stupid doodles, especially scribbling faces i find styles and proportions i wouldn’t have otherwise :)
Me too I have a designated junk journal for proportion studies, brain dump, sketching in art block, ugly stuff and cutouts of stuff I find interesting. So far it’s mainly doodles, a snowball (the bunny) painting, 6cm big with lumpy dried acrylic paint and crusty brushes and random stuff like a cat on a label of sth I got for Christmas, a rocket riding astronaut from a packaging of socks, stuff like that. I have no shame about that and nobody will see it
I totally agree! I find rough sketching very helpful in making my drawing look more similar to the reference.
the fact that scott ever had detention just doesn’t seem true
I'm absolutley adoring your longfrom content! Keep up the amazing work!
Fr!
Thank you so much!
@@ssavaarthearing you talk over a video is so relaxing. I listen to it while I write or draw or do homework and would love (if you want to) if you could make more long form videos.
it's funny to have people say that five minutes is long form haha. It's much better than shorts for sure though.
I had an interactive kit like this when I was a kid. It was called Paint Like Van Gough or something like that. It came with oil pastels and each page in the book was based on one of Van Gough’s drawings. Coincidentally, the first activity was also a self-portrait. (Mine looked cursed.)
I had completely forgotten about it until my mom found it a few weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised, both because my drawings were better than I had expected and I actually made it to the end of the book. (I would abandon most activity books a few pages in.) My favorite drawing was the one where I was tasked with drawing a bed and I made the headboard a literal head and the footboard out of feet. I’ve always loved surrealism…
I think it would be cool to redo the book now to see how much my art skill has grown since childhood.
The bed story!!!!!
I think you should totally try redoing the book. It would be a fun experience.
I wish there was a pdf version to buy and printout for people living in countries where getting anything shipped costs a bomb. If the book is $50, shipping might cost another $25 for me and customs in my country loves to take 50% of the item cost so I'll be paying $100 for this :/
Same with the UK (£40 + £20 P+P +??? customs) 😢
Hey guys! I am currently working on making this happen! Hopefully by the end of this week!
@@ThisisNOTaSketchbook That's wonderful! Thank you!
@@ThisisNOTaSketchbook
That's amazing!!! 🥰
@@ThisisNOTaSketchbookOh wow! Thanks in advance!
Thank you for sharing and the discount code. This year I want to learn how to draw and this class I just ordered will be a great foundation
This looks *really cool* . I wish that there were more books like this that are easily accessible to beginners. I'm going to send this to my art teacher, and I hope that she looks into it. Thank you for sharing!!!!
there absolutely are! if you like that kind of style of book/journal/learnigng to draw for beginners, look up books by Jake Spicer , he's got a few! My favorite is "You Will be Able to Draw Faces by the End of This Book" as I was struggling to find a book on drawing portraits simple enough for beginners, but detailed enough to understand how to draw a portrait and not just copy what you see.
@@tuuurtles thank you for the recommendations! :)
That book looks really cool! It has a lot of activities similar to the activities my high school art teacher (who is great and has helped me grow a lot with my art) has us do.
Thats because it’s based on a very old book called “Drawing on the right side of the brain” by Betty Edwards. Her method has been adapted by innumerable art teachers.
The upsidedown drawing exercise was my favorite as a kid, it helps you see lines more as just lines, without filling in whats in your head. I think im better at upside down references than right side up ones lol
Exactly! Forces you to draw what you see, and not what you “know”
Younger me would've LOVE this book so much. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone who wants to get into drawing.
That was honestly the best self portrait I have ever seen. It’s amazing wow I don’t know how you do that 😂 Also I will definitely try and get this book. Or art class. Seems like a great way to practice and learn (which I think are basically synonyms, because you learn by practicing. Or maybe synonym isn’t really the right word for that maybe they’re just rather similar words… I don’t know. Anyways I’m rambling now. I love the long form videos, keep up the good work!
That's really cool! Loving to watch your longer videos :)
Its after midnight and just scrolling along..i need this for my niece...she's struggling with drawing and wants to be perfect..she needs this in her life
Omg I had an art teacher and we just coloured everyday well I had a different art teacher the next year who took the class seriously and helped a lot of students. Thank you Miss Blevins❤❤
This books looks awesome, definitely going to try to buy it
I loved the book and this review I felt the urge to fill those blank spaces. I loved the idea of a sketchbook that guides you through. Thanks for sharing this.
Fabulous. I would have loved something like this when I was a teenager.
Can you make a video explaining the steps you do when making a painting ❤
Here you go.

@@ssavaart Thank you so much ❤️
Having a great time with your long form videos. Also been seeing your stuff on tumblr- pretty cool!
Oh. Thanks. I'm enjoying Tumblr
0:50 Scott Scott Scott! You and I have the same exact wallpaper!!
The concept of this book is so fantastic! I think the price is well worth it-you’re getting a book and an online course that complement each other. It’s genius!
This looks like a fabulous course! Thanks!
That QR code scared me bruh I thought it was a Rick roll
This reminds me of the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.
Just made an order! If this gets me to finally start drawing again it will be worth every penny.
Thank you for sharing and supporting another person in the art loving community ❤
I absolutely understand the wanting to draw in an art teaching book. As a kid I would use a pen and go over the numbered step by step contours and guidelines while referencing the end result drawing, I would end up with five drawings of the same dog. I never realized I wasn't even following the rules of the book, I was just happy drawing and leaving my permanent art in a book.
I think this is awesome! I’ll definitely be checking this out
Can't waaait for this to come to the Netherlands:D
“I hate drawing hands” is relatable, it’s a love hate relationship for me. It can be fun but it’s frustrating sometimes. Easy on small formates and hell on big scale. I remember drawing my A4 Wednesday Addams realistic drawing of her playing the cello, I spent the longest on that hand and the face…
I’ll try making it my profile pic so you can see it :)
That is sooo adorable!!!!!!!! But, I don't have interest in drawing other people's faces, I have interest in filling details, it's like meditation for me.
Especially detailing buildings in cities, I just started.
Thank you for this video and for the discount code! I just ordered my art class! ❤
I would very much appreciate a video about negative space, as I really don't understand it at all, outside of, "the area you don't touch". I've been complimented a few times for my "use of negative space", but I never knew how to react because I had no idea what they were talking about.
Hi. I made one just for you. Did you get to see it?
ruclips.net/video/_OaN6grL3OI/видео.htmlsi=m1gBoc66w7IJ3mtQ
@@ssavaart Yes, yes I did! My apologies for not leaving a comment (I'm a lurker by nature), but thank you very, VERY much for touching base. It helped solidify my understanding of negative space very much... until I watched a video about "tattoo fails", where the narrator commented something about using negative space to shade with, and that lost me entirely.
However, outside of that (and also not knowing if the narrator was just BS'ing), this video helped me realise just what I'm doing that people have complimented, and thus opened my awareness to something I may be able to play with in the future. Rather, something I very likely WILL end up playing with in the future.
Thanks for that :3
@@OlyChickenGuy Absolutely My Pleasure ♥
Awesome, thanks
I love this video! I’ve been watching your content for a while now, so when you showed the chair, I instantly thought “that’s a bad tangent.” XD
You have helped me improve in many ways, thank you. :)
This makes me so happy. ♥
This is an amazing art class
What a great idea!
these are all the things they taught us in art school, it's so cool to see them again!
This book would cost a total of £64.00 to come to the UK. I think I will wait until her book ever becomes available of AMAZON.
New Scott video!! ❤❤❤❤
You just gave one tiny comment and now I understand negative space 😂
Awesome review! I'll definitely have a look!
Genius idea. Im definitely buying this.
Nice! Kind of reminds me of The Anti-Coloring Book I had as a child.
Didn't know you posted this. Its great
This looks like a really great learning tool. Unfortunately I think I'd struggle a bit with it- being a leftie, my hand would end up covering the reference! 😢
I guess I could challenge myself by drawing the WHOLE thing upside-down. 😂
This is neat I'm gonna have to find this and buy it for myself!
I want to get this book at some point but there's one problem though...
In where i am from our method of paying when ordering online items is pay on delivery meaning we only pay if we receive the items first and with no defects or any damage...
this is so cute and wholesome
Omg this book is so nice, It might have been so fun!
Has Lauren studied with Betty Edwards of Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain fame?
Ooh, I hope this finds its way onto shelves over here!
I would like to get this book in the future someday! These kind of books are so fun
LOVE IT but unfortunately its a bit too expensive for me but will probably get it for a birthday or something ❤
I love this! Definitely on my wish list
I much prefer this long form love it keep it up Scott ❤❤
I didn't except this but i do like it so :D Also first self portrait was so good love it!
This is brilliant, I love this ☺☺☺☺
The whole video radiates exitement😂😊
Always on the lookout for other people who share my last name! I think it’s awesome :) I’ll have to check this out
Its 01:11 here right now 😂😂
Am or pm?
@@Flower_Does_Thingz am 😭😭 and i have school at 8:00 tomorrow 😭😭
@renskebroeders3560 Relatable… 10:30 pm rn still have to study for an art major exam tomorrow
@@Cat..Person i wish you luck! Im in a panic attack rn bc i have 2 tests tmmr and im scared im gonna fail.
@renskebroeders3560 Oof been there… you can do it. Close your eyes, put on some music you like and breathe. You can do it. Remember what you’ve learned and how much you worked, it might help. What subjects are your tests?
Detention? Scott you bad boy
I love your channel and your work, but my inner student just has to say that you didn't do the negative space exercise properly. You drew the chair. You didn't draw the space around the chair. I get it. It's too much like contor drawing, and that it feels stupid, and you hate it. Heaven knows I hated it until I got deeply into Negative Space painting. You can't draw the chair. You gotta wait to get the details until after you've drawn the space around the chair.
And... I realize that you're not actually taking the exercises all that seriously, because you are a very well established artist at this point, and I get that. I just feel that it might throw off some new students who are going to see what you are doing and then take away the wrong lesson. I don't think this does any real harm, mind you. They'll learn everything the need from this exercise from the contor drawing exercise, but they might have also had benefited from seeing a pro struggling a little with it, too.
This looks like a great book, and it makes you do all the things that we hated learning as a student, that really helps you in the long run. Do the stupid exercises, even if you don't want to. You're going to learn things that will help you later.
Great content!
1:20 when i saw the shapes that are black and white i immediatly thought of Bad Apple (srry if bad grammar, english is not my first language)
Unfortunately the shipping costs 25.95 Euro for me. For a book? Really? When will it be available in the EU via Amazon? Thanks, Anni
Betty Edwards.
Think I would prefer text to read rather than a video.
Faster, easier to find information and not a pain in the ass.
I’m old.
Scott’s phone wallpaper being the trans artwork makes me love him even more 🩷
Is it all qr codes or does it include links for those of us who are phoneless?
Hey! It’s all QR but the videos link to each other, so you just need to scan once and you have access to all of them. I’d be happy to email you the first link if you buy it so you don’t have to have a phone. Phone free- I love that!
3:26 I remember this short!
Que bonita forma de aprender.
I thought the qr code was gonna redirect you to a rick roll lol
Interesting.
An art lesson via a book with a _qr code_ on each page that opens up to a video explaining each Page.
But-
The *Best way to learn to draw* - *use real life* .
This hybrid e-book sketchbook -
It's *a Nice gimmick* though.
Thank you
just wanted to say that i was able to scan the QR codes from this video and get the tutorials for free, in case you weren't aware. the book costs quite a bit of money and it feels weird to be accessing these videos for free, so i'm making this comment
I appreciate that.
Is there a way to get to the videos w/o the code? I can't afford $400+ for a new phone that can read the codes just for a diy art class... otherwise I am really interested in this
I think any phone should be able to do it
Wow I'm so tired of an artist so for me I've never really had the opportunity to take many art classes and from the ones I remember when I was like I wouldn't say grade school but like elementary
But I love this video it's amazing I wish that when I was in school the teacher is were a lot better I was autistic so I didn't get the best luck but this is amazing
Tot artist audiocreict
Mr. Sava, I have a question, it doesn't have much to do with the video. Why do you and other artists sketch with a blue pencil?
I think it is an advertisement... And I don't care... I need this book and I'm 56 years old!!!! And did eyes like that when I was 14... And didn't for 30 years////I'm not good at math///// didn't. for40 years?
As a beginner artist who struggles with learning through coursework-like ways of doing it, this seems really fun but all of the classes being accessible through a QR code makes me a bit concerned. If one day RUclips is defunct then all of those helpful lessons are gone forever D:
I thought about that! But the QR codes are changeable on my end so I can upload them to a different host and you can still access them
Dang 60$ shipping to Aus sucks :(
Ouch.
Hey Ollie! I’m working on a digital download version because these shipping prices are crazy! Hopefully releasing it this week, I just want to test it before I go live!
@@ThisisNOTaSketchbook love that, that would be perfect
I have a qeistion what are your thoughts on ataleirs and figure drawing
I don't know what ataleirs are. Nothing came up when I searched
I meant ateliers
@@arcane579 I googled that and it says it's French for "workshop".
So you want to know what my thoughts are on workshops?
I'm genuinely trying to answer your question. I just want to make sure I get it right
Okay. I added "figure drawing" to the search and a book came up. Is THAT what you're talking about?
If so. It looks like a good book. I'd never (obviously) heard of it. But it looks well done.
The simple thing about figure drawing is always practice will help you more than any book.
Have you tried the 1 minute figure drawing playlist I have?

Am I the only one having trouble with the website?
Is it true that you actually just spent a lot of time in detention instead of doing your homework? .from child the thrd 🥴 🐻.
day 50 of asking scott to paint martin gore (yay)
Meaning no disrespect, but I think 50 bucks for a book filled with QR codes is insane.
You're getting more than QR codes. The videos she links to took time and knowledge to create. You're paying $50 for an art class.
Can you please make a video on book recommendations to learn how to draw. thank you
did scott just spoil the whole book? 🫣😳 jk lol (or am i...)
I think she missed the point of a book...
OP
Team under 5hours
👇🏻
The sketch book isn’t fun :(
Edit: Since my brain is fried by hours of RUclips and fast paced content.
the way he drew the circle for his first self-portrait so perfectly just felt wonderful
im still amazed at that circle
It reminded me of SpongeBob
Nice video! I think the concept of having video lessons within the book is cool, but i would honestly prefer that it come on a dvd rather than a qr code. If the website ever goes down or the videos are deleted, then that information is lost. Either a dvd or having transcripts of the videos inside the book i think would be preferable to me since if i buy an artbook, i’m buying it to read, not to watch
Omg your videos always make my day better!
I like the addition of both traditional and modern methods put together. The use of the videos make it easy to understand and follow along. Sometimes the words on the page on their own dont help. And just watching videos alone makes them harder to follow personally. It was fun just watching you follow along and casually sketch!
I love your long form content! I can't draw to save my life, and even so, this notebook sparked my curiosity. Just today I was thinking of you! The sky had the most GORGEOUS clouds, and I thought, how do you actually _paint_ clouds with _watercolor_ ? I wonder how Scott does it? I loved your video of how to draw eyes! I'd love one about watercolor clouds hehe 🤭🤭
Thank you so much! ♥
I have never been early lol
Hey scott just wanting to let you know i have been practicing drawing and i have been having more confidence in myself and to try bigger and better things
This makes me so happy. ♥
@@ssavaart don't think im weird or anything. But I'm grateful for you
It looks like it's a modern version of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. I like it!
This seems like it’ll help with some of the fundamentals I’m still struggling with, so I went ahead and bought it. I love how it’s something she’s making herself, and it seems like she really put a lot of effort into making it as helpful as possible.
I did :) thank you! Can’t wait for you to try it!
