Ive always been scared to start in any of my many sketchbooks, until i found you a few months ago. Im now half way through one of them and feel very positive that i will fill it. You have been such an inspiration to me, breaking my crippling fear of perfection. Thank you so much 🌻
I love this particular design! It is a little tricky when starting out but after a bit, “the penny drops” and it suddenly becomes easy. Thank you so much.
Glad you like it! It can certainly require a little practice, but once you get it, it's a lot of fun and it looks very nice once incorporated into other drawings.
I love having the combo of regular speed and time lapse. The best of both worlds. I'd love to see a DIY video of how you combined your pencil and the eraser pencil. Thanks for another super useful video. You're always so supportive and reassuring.
Thank you - I find you so easy to listen to and watch and then do! I’m practicing every day and it’s helping me to relax through regular health treatments for a blood disorder. Love your style , hope to develop my own one day ❤
Thank you so much for sharing. You are such an inspiration to me. Since discovering you, I now sketch every day for hours and have found a sense of calmness that has been missing. ❤
Nice pattern,doing this can help you understand folds in fabric too if you have been struggling shading or colouring them in .i think it’s a nice larger area pattern too.🥰
I can see the benefit in mechanical pencils. For some reason I've never been very skilled with them. And indeed this kind of drawing comes with its challenges. It'll be different for everyone.
Also you're so right about just trying something again. There's a triangle net doodle that I tried before and it looked terrible and I could not figure out why. This week I randomly tried it again, and it came out great! No idea what I'm doing differently, but I guess my subconscious was chewing on the problem all these months lol
I love this shape, layer upon layer like corals in the ocean. I did try this with your previous tutorial but kept missing the vanishing point or making too many curves going in the wrong direction. This was great so thanks for showing us again. I like speeded up time lapse. P.S. I'm kinda feral about my art too! LOL
I love the look of this drawing! I struggle with this one - I think it’s because I let my brain get ahead of my hand and I lose focus. As with a lot of my art, I need to slow down and enjoy the process!
I'm sure you're not alone in this. Drawing is a type of meditation. It asks of you to quiet the mind which is in and of itself a very difficult thing to do. You can absolutely do this! Take it one little step at a time 💜
Question for you! I’ve been practicing this particular pattern, and it has befuddled me for a long time. I’ve finally gotten pretty comfortable with it in general, but I’ve been doing it with a continuous line, rather than breaking where the ‘ribbon’ folds. I’m just curious why you do the break? (Definitely not a criticism - I love the way it looks.) But I confess to having a hard time wrapping my brain around making the break. I think if I better understood your logic as to why, stylistically, you choose to break the line at the fold, I’d be better able to figure it out. Thoughts?
No worries 😊, that's a great question. I break the curved line simply to cause the ribbons to be chubbier. When the design is drawn with a continuous line - the way its done in zentangle - then it looks thin like paper. My method adds another layer of dimension. A simpler example of this would be the drawing of a paper tube compared to the drawing of a coffee mug. The rim of the paper tube can simply be drawn with a continuous oval. However, the rim of a coffee mug needs to have a broken line to show that the walls of the mug have thickness to them. Of course none of this is necessary, I just do it because it adds a little more character to my drawings and a lot of people wanted to learn to draw it. Hope this helps.💜

That's so wonderful! I'm glad you're exploring and creating. 💙😊💙

Thanks! The pencil project is a work in progress , but I'll certainly share once I have a good grasp on it.

What a beautiful journal cover! :)
I’m gonna have get a book to dedicate to this move. This one is challenging for me thank you for repeating this lesson.. eventually I will get it. 😂
You can do it!

That's so wonderful!
Beautifully done
Thank you so much 😀
So glad I found you .Thank you so much .
You are so welcome
Nice pattern,doing this can help you understand folds in fabric too if you have been struggling shading or colouring them in .i think it’s a nice larger area pattern too.🥰
Thanks! It's definitely good to get practice even for hobby artists. Challenging projects can open the door to new techniques and exciting art forms.
Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly. I’m definitely gonna give this a try!
Please do! Be patient with yourself 🦋
My favorite drawing tool is a mechanical pencil. You make it look so simple but it isn’t. Love your creative work. TFS

Always good seeing you, doing this great work! Thanks Miss Betsi!
Thank you too!
Thanks so much for getting me back into practicing.❤
Any time! 😎
Awesome, as always!
Thank you so much!
I finally see it! Thanks for doing this again!
Glad it helped 😎
Wonderfully relaxing and also quite useful exercise. :-)
It really is!
Thank you, I'm inspired to try this one!
Wonderful!

Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about. Your mind will work through it and if you don't go back to reinforce it, then it'll get pruned away.
@@betsi_jae yes exactly! I'm grateful to be reminded to make this a conscious practice.
Thanks for this. I’m going to try it again. ❤
Please do!
Hi I'm new to all this and came across your videos by chance but you have me hooked thank you xxx
Welcome 💙 Welcome.
Thank you!😊
This looks so easy when you do it, but it’s challenging for me. I’ll keep practicing, though❤
Practice is key, and patience. 💜
@@betsi_jae ♥️♥️

Isn't it wonderful to be feral with art? It's freeing and satisfying 🌄
Please show us the DYI you have for combining the pencil and eraser
nice ❤️❤️❤️
Many many thanks

Wow,🫶🙏🙏🙏
The word you were looking for at 6:54 is "fastidious", though I was thinking "precise" when you were looking for it.
Those would have been pretty good. 🤔

@@betsi_jae That makes tons of sense! Thank you. I’ll keep trying. Love your work - it’s very inspiring! :)
