Most of my drawings at this time are due to Danny's encouragement and prompts and Draw With Me. He gives me permission to draw something that's not drawn for the end result (for others to judge), and that the most important part is the process/experience of drawing and to have fun while doing it (for me).
“Drawings don’t matter…drawing does!” I love that! Thank you!💖
Oh, good! I'm so glad you liked it, Jennifer Edwards.
I love black ink on white paper with watercolor. The act of drawing different parts of my home with my cats has made me see that my life is beautiful in a way I didn't see before.
Black ink…watercolor…cats!! I love it! I wish I could see your work!
@@nancywhitmore3497 Ah, another cat lover! My cats are elderly and my current sketchbook is my memory book for our time together.
That’s truly lovely, Delores ☺️
Each day counts, each drawing counts....but the accumulation of it - day to day , drawing to drawing - produce meaning....it's our life meaning! Thanks Danny for making it obvious.
‘I don’t know what to draw’
Circles. A lot of them. Wagon wheels, gum nut centres, circles of life, bubbles, sand, light and dark textures. Circles. I draw a lot of them.
And when I can’t draw, I write lists which I’ve started keeping for artistic and memory keeping purposes.
You not only speak to my heart but the massive brick wall I constructed in my teens and still struggle to take down in my 50’s. Thank you!
Hey Mr. George; beautiful sketchbooks you showed there. You’re so right about drawing from everyday life - and it’s so simple to do. A bowl of fruit on the dining room table, a set of keys in a tray, your cat taking a nap on the floor in a patch of sunlight. I try to fill up the page, stay loose, and get a variety of lines and values. 🙏
Well said!
Thank you so much for this kind of encouragement. I used to feel bad that my drawings are not coming properly.
When I am journaling consistently I think, "what will I write about today?" I think about struggles and emotions. Sometimes I think about something beautiful, but it's usually something negative. Those things do need to be explored, but they are not what I want to revisit. When I think about what to put in an illustrated journal the visions before me become more beautiful and treasured. I don't have any problem with what I should draw... until my goal is improving my abilities. Even then, there are my daughter's tiny shoes she has worn a hole in. Or my favorite picture of my son, or eldest daughter. (Pictures hold still a bit longer than kids do)
Wow, thanks Danny. I expected inspiration on how to draw better and I got inspiration on how to live better. Love your words of wisdom.
Thank you Danny, really.
Your words help me very much.
I am always stronger after watching your videos.
And smiling too....
Happy to hear that!
I have a big pile of drawings and doodles ready for lighting the wood stove now as it gets colder on the Northern hemisphere 🔥
Big cyber kiss on the cheek, dear one! You are the best! Thank you!!! ❤️ 🖼 ❤️
Thank you so much….I will be 80 next month and have always promised myself I would draw……..after your
After your talk I bought a sketch book and pens…..now to start
I love the depth of thought that Danny applies to the issues we all have, and how the solutions really are as simple as they sound if we allow them to be. Thanks Danny
Wow, thank you very much for this inspiring video. Great suggestions! 🤗🙂
I picked up pen and ink last year and this is the 1st Inktober I've experienced. I have to say that the daily prompts have actually helped me stay on the "draw every day" wagon.
Normally, I would try to stay committed to drawing every day but that would only last for three, four days and then I'd stop for whatever excuse. So maybe that's all I need is someone or something to prompt me to stay committed. Because as we all know, the more you practice the more progress you make.
Thank you for continuing to make me think. And for continuing to tell me that it's not about thinking. It's about doing. I paint in my head, ALL the time. 2021 has actually been worse than 2020 and I've used that as an excuse to only paint in my head. I'm in the process of moving and my promise to myself is to start doing once I'm moved in. My hope is that my sons bring bagels. That would make a great cover page! You are a blessing.
Thanks to your "Draw With Me" on Thursdays ; I've drawn/painted items & people I'd never thought I would. Thanks so much for getting me motivated to doing that.👌
You pick the line that draws your life...brilliant
Awsome Danny! You’re a winner. 🥇
Listening to this video is going to be a part of my morning routine…..it’s an important perspective to fill my mind & doings with until it becomes my regular lifestyle. Thanks Danny.
Nike: Just do it!
Danny Gregory: Just Draw!
Beautiful 👌
I start the 'doodle a day' challenges with the best intentions, but always fall off the wagon eventually - I think it's my inner toddler who doesn't like being told what to do! 🤣🤣
Mixing paint colours is a good way for me to get inspired, even if I end up using a different medium entirely! I think being the kind of person who wants to know everything about everything helps too. 😊
Ih Danny! My heart hurts when I see how often sketching has to become more and more perfect. But drawing in itself is the beauty. And the joy and the own. I've been going my way of drawing for a while now. Thank you very much! A big hug!
Perfect insight, as always, and perfectly timed. Thank you. I have spent so much on time on study and not being in the moment, drawing and writing about my own life. It's always seemed so small and unimportant. Yet it is valuable to me and there is so much to notice and be grateful for. I will try again. And again. Thank you for the constant reminder to pay attention. You aren't just an artist, you are a wise mindfulness master.
*Danny, you are such an inspiration, thanks!*
I appreciate the kind words!
Such a good bloke.
Danny, you have just helped free me up from my “have to’s and my “should” about drawing. The classes and books have been helpful but also put chains around how I should draw. Drawing was also a sanctuary during Covid lockdown. Thank you Danny, much appreciated.
I love your journal! Thank you for the advice..
“Peel back the layers” really made me think 🤔
So inspiring, I'm so glad I found your videos. I need it because my mind needs to hear all this. I tell myself this but I don't listen myself, maybe I can just listen to you.
So glad you’re enjoying the videos! I hope they help
I was looking for "actual" drawing tips, but what I found here are REAL lessons, and not just limited to drawing but valuable advice in general. I'm definitely sticking around and subscribing!
Glad it was helpful!
I really needed this. Thanks for this. Keep inspiring!🤍
Ha ha ha. I had a total laugh over how events unfolded. I listened to this talk, & went for a walk looking around. The first thing I encounter in the park across the street is a little boy, quite high up in a tree, making unusual noises, sort of like squealing at me, as I walked past underneath. I had to run back & get my camera. I got a photo from behind before his mom yanked him out of the tree. TOTALLY drawing this boy in a tree..... And walking around, looking, with a camera, sprouted another whole project idea involving photos related to parts of buildings.
The power of creative serendipity is amazing.
Thanks it was helpful and intertaining and I enjoy listening to you..good tips. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

I love your videos, it's changing my life! Thank you Danny!
Glad you like them!
Lovely! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Thank you🤩
Came across your channel today, while looking for sketchbook tours. Which I watch (in awe), instead of actually putting pencil to paper in the beautiful, blank sketchbooks I have bought. I loved to draw as a child, always had some kind of drawing implement in my hand. As I hit my late teens, I gradually drew less and less, until I stopped altogether by the time I was 20. I’m now 47, and have made a few attempts over the years to start up again, and each time I do a few sketches and give up again.
Watching your videos today has really motivated me, I will pick up those beautiful empty sketchbooks, and fill them, with anything and everything, and without thinking anything less than a masterpiece is a waste of time 😂.
So thank you for these great inspirational videos. You are the Bob Ross of sketchbooks!
Haha, my wife HATES it when I draw her taking a nap, so I have several versions in my little sketchbook...🤣
Quite like your approach.
Brilliant!
Thank you...tears

Glad it was helpful!
thank you! you are so inspiring!
wisdom!
Profound! Ty!
I appreciate your thoughtful response.
Nice, Danny!
Dear Danny, you are so right…BUT your proposal to simply draw everything what comes across your way during the day is surely practical for singles who live alone, but impractical for people with family especially with kids. I can’t sit down and drift away in my parallel drawing world while my husband and kid are sitting together with me at the table. It’s disrespectful to them and to the food that has to be honored focusing on the joy to eat with all senses. Living and enjoying the moment together without doing other stuff.
I often feel bad about drawing because even when I find a gap during the day where I can do something on my own, I still have that bad conscience about it because I feel egoistic. And I think that’s a dilemma for a lot of people….
I use to feel the exact same way. And then I realized that I too, deserve to have a few minutes to myself, to draw, or in my case, paint with my watercolors, that I love so much. I found that if I paint for just ten minutes a day, I am actually happier, more relaxed, less anxious, and in a better mood. I currently have ten people living in our home now, since the pandemic began, and three of them are my amazing grand babies, ages 6, 5, and 1. And I have made art a daily practice that we do together to get some extra special time and hoped great memories for them. Even the one year old has his own age appropriate paints and really enjoys it. It’s my favorite part of the day. What I am trying to say is that you absolutely deserve to have some time each day for yourself, and a creative practice that makes you happy. All the best
I see what you’re saying but you can get creative. When I take my son to the park, I bring my sketch book. I draw with him, draw near him to show him of examples of independent play.
Happy drawing! X
I started my sketchbook practice when I had a toddler and a newly disabled wife in a wheelchair as well as an incredibly demanding job. If you have time to watch and comment on RUclips videos, may I suggest you can find ten minutes to draw your lunch. Just saying.
I'm trying my darnness to draw every day to form the habit. I've come across a couple of His videos that have compelled me to get drawing just like this one does. There for I now sub'ed Tnx for the gentle pushes.
Now off to watch either/both(?) Advice for new artist or How to get creative if you're not.
This looks like fun :)
great!
Thank YOU for YOUR advice what to draw : It is YOUR Life , make YOUR
E X P I E R N C E ❣ 🤠 ❣
I wish RUclips had a ❤️ button.
I will remember your words. Savor the day!
All I think when I see this is..l” I can’t draw that…it’s too hard,,I will just feel bad and stupid when I fail..”
When your a kid u just do this…u grow up and it gets lost
sketcbook goals
I draw the things i am grateful of every day, but they are often the same thing.... does this matter?
You should draw while you talk
