Or use The Masters brush soap, which you can use to condition the brushes in between uses and coat them to preserve them. I couldn’t cope with brushes all gunky/dried up like the ones in the video.
I have gone through that, a lot actually, so my best advice would be to take a bit of time off, evaluate why you started drawing and why you continued it. Then draw whatever feels right, if you decide that drawing is the thing for you
I've been on and off your channel for the last few days and can't take my eyes from your videos! - not sure how I stumbled across but I've fallen in love with your style, technique, and overall spirit for how you join the magic of your visual art with the platform that is RUclips. Congrats on a stellar channel! Can't wait to see more.
I use the A4 white card stock from the pound shop (not 99p store) and I use everything on it, it can hold acrylic paint, watercolour, alcohol markers, ink everything! so I buy tons of it and make my own sketchbooks. Definitely keep an eye out, it's just in a plastic sleeve with blue writing across it. It's 200gsm x
I would love to know more about how you learnt to draw, what kind of books or tutorials you would recommend to a total beginner to drawing people and perhaps where you see your art going/future plans. Love your videos x
Brilliant video, this will help me greatly since I'm trying to do more art this year as well as do more traditional art since I only done digital for most of last year so I've been in need of recommendations for art supply's so this works wonders, definitely gonna have a look at some of your other videos.
Hey Minnie, great video and congrats on reaching 10k (almost 11k now) . Definitely looking forward to your Q&A. My question for you is do you have an educational background or degree, related to art? And my second question is how do manage your planning and stick to it?
Congrats on over 10k!! You definitely deserve it! I don't know if you'e already filmed your Q&A (I kind of catched this video super late, unfortunately) but if you haven't my question is: What is your favorite thing you've drawn recently
+Martina Violic Hey sorry I missed your question! My favourite recent thing was my Rihanna painting because it turned out almost exactly how I pictured it! Thank you!! :)
For the Q&A: What advice do you have for the novice artist out there? What is a good starting point or, in your experience, what is the best way to improve in a medium you are interested in? ( like watercolor, digital, sketching, etc) or is there a good source to recommend like books, tutorials, RUclips artist, etc. Bonus question lol ... do you think you will do a "draw my life" at some point? Thank you for taking time to read my comment/question. You are amazingly talented and absolute goals as an artist!!!!!!!
Omg you're British (as am I) I love your accent! Just found your channel, and instantly subscribed :--) what a beautiful channel with aesthetically appealing vids, great editing, and wonderful content! 💙⚡️
I really love your videos I just find then super nice and relaxing as well as useful with my art. So yeah props to you :D thanks for making all these cool videos. :>
*Super interesting video !* Your videos and your blog posts are well made, love how you settle your stuff :) I’m wondering how you stay organized each day, do you have a *same* weekly schedule ? I mean for example _monday morning filming videos_ etc...
nice, I just bought that scanner, gonna install it soon. That's the only one I can get at the moment, and I was afraid that the quality might not be that good.
Hey! I love your videos and brush pen work so much :3--I just wanted to let you know that Reeves isn't quite the best gouache to use. I'd stick with Windsor & Newton or Holbein (really pigmented). (Illustration major--4+ yrs experience lol) Best! -Sharese
Very informative. I am also an oaf with my paintbrushes. The poor things! I keep them when they're tattered though, as they make great textures ❤️ question: can we be friends 😫 lol
Love you're videos, I'd say you're my absolute favorite youtuber atm :) I wanted to say I noticed none of the icons at the end of your video work as links like I think a lot of people expect, like usually when there is a clip with your last video, there is an annotation over it that will bring me to that video. Or my web browser is horribly screwed up. Again, can't wait til your next vid
Ok here's a question for your Qn'A Minnie! What have been your biggest inspiration/is your biggest inspiration at the moment (When it comes to style and design that is)?
It depends, if you like to draw, get maybe a pencil that you like with copic markers for colouring. If you like to paint, I dunno, I don't paint all to much.
how did you come up with your style? did you do anithing art relating as a job ( cause your sense of form and color would be really handy in graphic design^^)
Hi Minnie, I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your videos so far! You're truly a talented and inspiring artist! I have a question about this video though: when I click on the link that is supposed to lead me to the blog post about "My go-to art essentials, the extensive collection", it just brings me to you home page. I can't seem to find the blog post anywhere? I would really like to read it, can I find it anywhere ? Thanks in advance! :)
Minnie Small · SemiSkimmedMin right. Like if your lucky you can get them on Amazon but they're often out of stock. I was gifted one from my brother in law when he was going to school in London. I despise the moleskine paper because the paper is so thin! Ink makes it angry
How long have you been practicing art to get to where you are now? Your art is really good and I'm still a beginner, though I hope to improve with practice.
Do you ever think you would be able travel to the U.S. for something like an artist meet up?Maybe say,in Washington DC? Also I love your artwork,it inspires me so much!
Ooh funnily enough I've just switched from my uni-ball to the sakura gelly rolls and I actually prefer the latter! I always had issues with the ink flow of the uni-ball which I haven't had so far with the Gelly roll pens :P

"Bits and bobs" is such a cute English phrase, I love it! I say "odds and ends" sometimes :-)
just a little trick! when your brushes are dried out put them in a glass of vinegar for 20-30 minutes and there like new!
Thank you for this!

Her voice is so damn beautiful and calm, and then the videos are astonishing as well...
Where's her five million subs at?!
hiding her from drama
I agree her voice is sooo soothing
could you maybe do some tutorials? I would really love to learn more about what inspires you and maybe some basics of painting!
Hi! I wasn't expecting to see you here, love your channel :3
LikeKristen i
Today I finished a painting I started two years ago. It was 100% thanks to your videos.
Thanks for putting USA and U.K. In description. Helpful
I would just like to say that your voice is really relaxing to listen to! :)
:) Thanks love!
You had me at ink and comic books!! new subbie here. xxx
+Sarah / sarazorel 💕💕💕 hehe thank you!! Welcome to my channel :)
I love the slick / stylish and clean presentation in this video.
This calmed me down so much you have no idea
:)
I’m happy I’m not the only one who gets the huge thing of white studio gouache for painting. I also love the fact you also say “bits and bobs”
your videos are an aesthetic seriously they are amazing
Thank you :)
your editing is superb!!!! love this vid :)
Thanks so much :)
Has there ever been a time in you life when you wanted to give up on art and what kind of self discipline tips would you give to stay on track.
You shoul check juicy ink's videos! They really help you being motivated
I have gone through that, a lot actually, so my best advice would be to take a bit of time off, evaluate why you started drawing and why you continued it. Then draw whatever feels right, if you decide that drawing is the thing for you
I love how clean your surface is, plus the detail you've given per art material. Thank you for sharing! :)

Super helpful video--I'm always curious about what other artist's use, particularly the tech tools. Thanks for sharing!
I'm really happy you found it useful, thanks for watching 😊
This is my favourite art channel, cheers me up so much to see you draw for some reason:)
I would love to know more about how you learnt to draw, what kind of books or tutorials you would recommend to a total beginner to drawing people and perhaps where you see your art going/future plans. Love your videos x
love this vid very much..your art tools are very professionally amaizing and gives me ideas for my own sketching/drawings

I'm looking for a good heavy smooth paper, thanks for these ideas!
Your voice is so soft and lovely😍 It made me feel comfortable 😊
Please do some sketchbook videos! I'd love to see all your little scribbles and things
if you are worried about loosing paper you should use a portfolio, i´ve been using one for some time and it has been working pretty well!
Hi Minnie! Love your video as always! My questions for your Q&A: Did you go to an art school? Do you have some particular artists who inspire you?

This video is so awesome!
omg you're nearing 200k now!
Ok here's a question for your Qn'A Minnie! What have been your biggest inspiration/is your biggest inspiration at the moment (When it comes to style and design that is)?
I want some ideas for stuff to get for Christmas
It depends, if you like to draw, get maybe a pencil that you like with copic markers for colouring. If you like to paint, I dunno, I don't paint all to much.
Love this! Which video is the one at the end of this video?
I love your voice + what a lovely video 😇
Instant Subscriber! Love your style!
Thank you! I actually just fell in love with your channel, so you've got a new subbie too 💕💕💕💕
+SemiSkimmedMin Whaaaaa!?! Aww! Thank you so much!
Hahah when Minnie got to her tech and showed us her scanner I literally looked to the right part of my desk and saw that I had the exact same one lmao
Awesome video!!! shows good content! looking forward to see more! ;) keep up the good work!
Thank you :)
how did you come up with your style? did you do anithing art relating as a job ( cause your sense of form and color would be really handy in graphic design^^)
oh and my question for the q&a would be tips for gaining popularity on instagram!
I really do love ur vidos im a new subscriber. I was also wondering where do u get ur supplies
Hi Minnie,
I'm a new subscriber and I'm really enjoying your videos so far! You're truly a talented and inspiring artist!
I have a question about this video though: when I click on the link that is supposed to lead me to the blog post about "My go-to art essentials, the extensive collection", it just brings me to you home page. I can't seem to find the blog post anywhere? I would really like to read it, can I find it anywhere ?
Thanks in advance! :)
Great, great video!
Yass! My request thanks! 👍🏻😁😁
I'm always so jealous you have easy access to seawhite sketchbook. They paper quality is pretty awesome but there so expensive in the states.
Oh no way! I love them cos they're so affordable here, especially for the quality.
Minnie Small · SemiSkimmedMin right. Like if your lucky you can get them on Amazon but they're often out of stock. I was gifted one from my brother in law when he was going to school in London. I despise the moleskine paper because the paper is so thin! Ink makes it angry
Thank you, A very good video.
How long have you been practicing art to get to where you are now? Your art is really good and I'm still a beginner, though I hope to improve with practice.
Ayyy snap, wilko brushes
Do you ever think you would be able travel to the U.S. for something like an artist meet up?Maybe say,in Washington DC? Also I love your artwork,it inspires me so much!
Where did you start your platform on RUclips, Instagram, or Tumblr and what do you recommend for someone trying to start an art channel?
"Lets crack on"
Me= JESUS CRIST WHAT IS SHE CRACKING
I love your channel
+Chesa Djanelle Thanks, good luck with yours!
Do I spy Blue is the Warmest colour? :D :D :D the graphic novel is amazing! so much better than the film - it made me cry in public :P
Love your channel
I love it how you don't ramble on with un important things,usually people talk wayyy too much than needed.
would you ever consider doing non-art related videos? And what's your favorite colour
Is the strathmore cover originally like that? Love the video!
+Amy Huang no, I have a video on how I got it like that. It's on my channel and linked in the description of this video 👍
How do you develop your own unique drawing style? And how long did it take you to develop it?
Awesome !
:D Thanks!
Im starting art and need some new suplies, I subsribed!
It's so hard to find the Uni-ball Signo where I live! I use the Gelly rolls by Sakura but the ink is iffy
Ooh funnily enough I've just switched from my uni-ball to the sakura gelly rolls and I actually prefer the latter! I always had issues with the ink flow of the uni-ball which I haven't had so far with the Gelly roll pens :P
q+a: Where is the cheapest place to get good art supplies?
Depends where you live?
