- What are Sketchbooks really for? In this video I give some thoughts about this topic while I fill a sketchbook page. Draw with me!

THIS is the way sketchbook tours should be. Showing imperfections and experimental art
HOW THE FUCK nobody saw you hiding here
Xabio Arts also thanks for what you do
"Use your sketchbook for anything."
Me: Sleeps on sketchbook .
EDIT: Lol actually...
Saaaame
XD
My cats do that.
@@henotic_paracosm My cat too :D.

Im always scared to draw in my sketchbook because im afraid of messing up. thank you for showing me its ok to do that and just have fun
I have a page in one of my sketchbooks that says, “This sketchbook is FOR ME.” After I wrote that, I feel my art improved because I was free to do what I wanted instead of trying to make stuff I felt people would like to see.
messing up is part of the artistic process! i recently picked up drawing again after stopping 10 years ago, and i drew what was probably the ugliest leaf ever drawn, but it felt so good! why? well, because i was doing something that i loved again, but also because it would be a point of reference for when i redrew that leaf in a much prettier way. your mistakes help shape you into a great artist! they help you learn and grow. don't ever be afraid of growing!
TaraBoo Art ARMY this is a really good idea, i can imagine it would make me think “well now I can’t show anyone if I wrote that I don’t want them to see that” and it would 100% make me draw anything
Can relate to this.. After seeing so many artists have impeccable looking sketchbooks, I started to have more blank page fear :c
Pip Plays What helped me was getting a really small sketchbook. It’s so cute and small and just makes me feel at ease. Having a big sketchbook can make you feel pressured to make fully finished (and big) pieces. With the little sketch ook, my drawings are smaller which makes drawing details harder which then results in less complicated pieces. And you can bring it anywhere with you! For the past week I was traveling and whether I was in a car, sitting on a bench or laying in a bed I could just grab my little sketchbook & pencil and draw whatever was on my mind. I hope you consider and try this!
Your sketchbook is your own place to let your imagination run wild. Have fun and experiment with it.
Yes! Exactly.
you stan nct? an intellectual
@@utokkie SKSJSKSJSK THANK YOU😂😂😂😂 You're pretty great yourself!

I feel like it's super all over the place when it comes to sketchbooks and their purpose. I see people on the internet constantly berating people for having a nice and clean looking sketchbook while others get annoyed if your sketchbook is messy and unfinished. There is no wrong way to fill a sketchbook.
And let's say some artist tells you that it's bad to have finished illustrations in your sketchbook because they used to do that too and it ended up stressing them out. Well, that's their experience, but not everyone is like that. And if you end up relating to that then it's better for you to have found out yourself through your own experience than to take their word for it and follow their instructions like it's the only correct thing to do. Everyone works differently, and who knows better how you work than you do?
Yeah, exactly! You can't really tell people what to use it for because it's such a personal thing. I hope I got that point across in this video.
JelArts Hey, I have an issue. I can’t draw the same thing. When I draw something good, I wanna put it on a nice paper. But when I do, IT LOOKS SO DIFFERENT! When I start on a nice paper, I mess up. How do I solve this?
I’ve just started a new sketchbook and I’m always overwhelmed with all the ideas have- and more so the lack of skill I have to carry out those ideas. I obsess over perfection so much that it demotivates me, I really need to change that! Thanks for this video
Beth Jenkins I know this feeling!
i know exactly how you feel! I imagine so many beautiful spreads in my minds but know that i dont have the skill to be able to make what I've been imagining a reality so I end up putting it off.
This is exactly my problem, i have these awesome ideas in my head but when I try to execute it, it just never comes out how I want or I can't even get close to my idea in the first place. :/
My advice: view every "bad" drawing kind of as "bad art" leaving your system. It's really motivating to flip your view and think "yes, I can draw that awesome thing that I see in my head, I just need to cleanse the bad stuff out of my system first."
Sometimes, even with a mindset like this, it feels devastating to not be perfect. But if you keep going, you will get there!
(I'm a professional artist who isn't even drawing that long and this mindset really helped me to get to the point that I'm at now. So if I can earn my living by doing art after four years of drawing without being a prodigy or some shit, you can get there!)
I have a cheap sketchbook I bought with bad paper that I got so I can mess up as much as I want and then I have a sketchbook with nicer paper where I make stuff that I think is prettier that I spend more time on the drawings/paintings in there and do stuff that I am more confident in drawing. The cheaper one takes the pressure off, I also do a light pencil scribble in the middle of the page so its not so scary all blank.
I received a comment on my first ever sketchbook tour video a little while ago, and this person said that my video and sketchbook was boring and not colourful enough (because it was just pencil sketches). It was quite upsetting honestly. This is because I had always struggled to finish a sketchbook since the expectations seemed to be that every page has to have a fully finished artwork on it. This sketchbook in the video was the first ever sketchbook I had ever completed, it was the start of my official art journey and the start of my sketchbook enlightenment, where I realised that sketchbooks are meant to be used for anything and everything. Every drawing in it was made in pencil, there was no colour, no finished artworks, it was just pencil sketches for me to figure out my style and learn anatomy. So this comment I received did hurt, but I tried not to get upset. This person seems to be misguided, like many people, on what a sketchbook SHOULD look like. I don't make my sketchbooks for other people, my first sketchbook tour was meant for others to find and see my art, improvement, inspiration and ideas, but I do not cater it to entertain people in that way. It has taken me a long 7 years to bring myself to finish an entire sketchbook, it has taken me a long 7 years to get into the habit of daily drawing, and it has taken me a long 7 years to understand that most sketchbook expectations are unrealistic and that a sketchbook is allowed to be a mess of ideas and practice. I really hope more artists come to learn and understand this, because it can be quite a toxic thing to have such high sketchbook expectations and it can really hinder your art and creativity
I think skills also has something to do with how a sketchbook ends up looking. Naturally for highly skilled artist (i.e pro artist, art RUclipsrs etc), they would end up looking much more beautiful and refined compared to beginners, to those who simply draw as a hobby, and generally to the average person.
It took me a really long time to understand that because back then, I would roll my eyes whenever I see Art RUclipsrs post their sketchbook tours because I know they're not going to be realistic. But they are realistic because their skills allow them to have such beautiful spreads.
Now, I love watching sketchbook tours because they're a source of inspiration for me.
youtubers are average persons
I love how sometimes I can just draw freely and not get the sketch perfect by just not focusing that much about it I can do my best work❤️😁✏️ Thank you Jelart for also helping me not to be afraid to make mistakes and just draw❤️
You're so welcome!
I'm not first
Im not last
But when she posts
I sure do click fast
This comment is underappreciated
When I was doing my Art degree, our sketchbooks were assesed and I found that really stressful, consequently I didn't touch them again for years.
Recently, I started planning a piece and really thinking about it. The fact I'm giving myself permission to make mistakes and knowing nobody will judge me is very liberating. 😊
Yeah I've struggled with trying to make every page a fully illustrated piece and I've been trying to work on not doing that. It's a sketchbook it's meant for sketching. And not every sketch is exactly a GOOD sketch and it's ok because that's part of learning. Love the video as always Jel ❤❤❤❤
I saw a tip for getting over the fear of ruining your sketchbook in a RUclips video (it might have been yours but I saw it a while ago so I dont really remember). You take a translucent medium and color in a blob of that material. I started doing this and I find that it helps a lot because now I am committed to the page and feel no worry of ruining it.
Also I’d like to say that I love your intros.
I had a friend that would burn through a sketchbook a month, but it was also her journal and where he recorded personal notes.
These videos spark so much joy
Thanks for doing what you do
And thanks for being who you are because you are amazing! Love ya💜
I feel like messy sketches are the best kind cuz you van see the beauty in it but others cant see it but that dont matter cuz u happy with it
To me sketchbooks are like a safe place. And I totally agree with you, a sketchbook is great for brain dumps, test things out, experiment, notes and just have fun! Fun is the such an important part of art and as long as you're having fun and learning its always worthwhile
When I saw the notification I just smiled
I really love these kind of videos!I can't wait to watch it
I totally agree with you. I bought a moleskine sketchbook many years ago and I never used it because I thought I needed to fill it with perfect drawings. That stoped me from drawing for a couple of years... then I just realized how stupid I was being and how much I wanted to draw and improve, that I just started doing all sort of things in my sketchbooks and now no one can stop me!! 😊
Woo! That's awesome, I'm glad you were able to use them 👍
This is some really good advice that I've been trying to implement myself!
Just recently I tried doing textile art with fabric, yarn and felt in mine! I glued a square of denim fabric as a background in my sketchbook then I sewed a leaf and a dragon fly out of felt and then glued it on top of the denim. I'm really happy with how it turned out and I would love to do more things like that in the future.
I have been seeing this sketchbook alot these days & its quite cute 😍💕
Hurrah! Thank you for this. I love seeing people’s sketchbooks but to be honest it’s obvious that some are prepping before hand and giving a false reality. We need to hear this as it takes the pressure off people feeling they are rubbish because their sketchbooks are... normal. Thank you for talking the truth. Make a mess, experiment, enjoy doodles, make lots rough sketches, explore new ideas. Xxx
I'm currently studying Steve Huston's figure drawing book he stated that you're sketch book is we're you figure things out and who cares if you make a mistake most people won't see the mistake, I personal have 3 sketch books at any time one for more completed pieces one for studies and one for scribbling.
Thank you! Sketchbooks are for ideas, you don’t even have to draw you can just write concepts, and observations for your work.
I love the podcasty type videos, its great to draw to 😊 its almost to the point where if im just sitting here watching, i feel like i HAVE to draw with you so its really motivating lol.
I just took out my sketchbook to draw and was feeling really uninspired..And then you uploaded!! Thanks for the amazing videos
I don't really plan my art pieces usually which i think is why I'm often not happy with my art, thank you for reminding us that we can plan final pieces in a sketchbook!😀
One of the best artists in my opinion.
Yeah!😃
That's what I love about Sketchbooks. They're just anything that you want them to be, your very own safe space where you can fully be yourself ☺️
I love how calming and effortless this video seemed......I just started drawing on youtube and drawing digital stuff every time has been a lot of work, very time intensive and hard on the eyes... I’m excited that one day I could produce a video from a sketchbook drawing!
Thank you for your input on sketchbooks. Most of my sketchbooks always come off as messy and not as pretty to the eye, but that's the point. It doesn't have to look all pretty and aesthetically pleasing all the time, it's there for literally anything you draw on (and especially practice.) I still constantly need to remind myself that sketchbooks have no limits and a great opportunity to try new things ^^
I think scetch books are for doing what ever you want in them
Chubbz Arts yeah, I completely agree !
Exactly! :)
JelArts hey jell Arts you’ve inspired me to continue doing art videos.I would love if you can check one of them out but you don’t haft to.Thank you for your time:)
thank you so much! im an illustrator as well and give drawing classes to beginners on how to use and take advantage of a sketchbook so this sort of motivational talk on how to use it has really helped me out. cheers from mexico!
I think, those perfect sketchbooks should be separated from real sketchbooks. Those books should be called Art books or smth bec those books just have finished pieces, and sketchbooks are for practicing, learning, trying yourself out, and its for seeing your process. 🙏
Preach it! Couldn't agree more
@@lunevonviolet thank you 🤷😂
Or they should be called Art portfolio books
UM YES PLEASE.
I had no idea how much I needed to hear this O.O;; I personally feel extra pressure atm because it’s been awhile since publishing my book, and I want to prove that I’m making progress on my next one, and then I make it so big and important in my head that it freaks me out too much to take action. I suppose I’ve been confusing “progress “ with “perfection “... 😅 Thank you Ms. Jel for opening my eyes, I’m adoring your channel and its realness. ☺️💕
I totally agree! I think the problem is people are confusing “sketchbooks” with “Art/Mixed Media Journals” and I think it can be very intimidating to new/novice artists etc to see these beautiful art journals and mixed media journals flipped through in videos and photos posted on social media and improperly labeled as “my sketchbook” when they should be labeled “my art journal”. Sketch book implies that these are just practice and maybe a few that got taken further for various reasons, this can 100% discourage other artists trying to learn and or improve seeing these fully finished “practice pages” in these mis-labeled “sketchbooks” when in all actuality these are art journals full finished pieces, that took a minimum of a few hours and are actually not practice at all.
The only person that sees my sketchbooks is me. If someone asks to flip through, I give them the art journal, as this is where all these sketchbook ideas end up, in an art journal or on a canvas, that’s what the sketch book is for, ideas. Idk bout y’alls but theres some weird and random and sometimes scary shit and also personal thoughts in my sketchbooks and ain’t no one need to be seeing that but me!!
Another great video 😊 I prefer to have 2 sketchbooks, one for finished and polished things that i love looking through and also keep as a diary by putting some things on the back pages of the drawings (it's spiral-bound at the top) and one specifically for rough sketches that doesn't need to look aesthetic at all ☀️
This has changed my perspective on how I draw in my sketchbook. I always saw it as where I put finished work I never looked at it as somewhere where I can just draw and learn.
Thank you. I definitely get caught up in the "this is how a sketchbook should be used" train of thought. Thanks for the suggestions!
I love sketching with a blue ball point pen. Its a ton of fun just to grab a pen, my small sketchbook and draw out in life
This is why you’re my favourite art RUclipsr - I absolutely love the more ‘rough’ style of your sketchbooks and the way you draw. It’s so calming and inspiring and I love seeing how you plan out your pieces and the process you go through when practising your art. I much prefer this style of sketchbook to those ones full of finished pieces because they just end up looking too perfect.
Every time I watch your videos I just get so inspired💞
Since taking inspiration from you and doing studies in my sketchbook my art has improved a lot and I'm now just about to finish my first ever sketchbook!
Everything u said here is true I used to set limitations to my sketchbook and eventually using it for something I didn’t expect. Now I feel so insecure about my art and this video really helped me to see that a sketchbook doesn’t have to be for anyone and that it’s like a personal diary for your art that you can flip through anytime u need to. I feel so guilty leaving it on the shelf 🤧 i’ll do better this time then. In the meantime thank you for sharing ur wonderful piece of advice 💜
I stopped drawing around a year and a half ago, since it started feeling like a chore, and anytime I tried getting back into it I didn’t have fun and felt as if I would never get back to how I used to be. But these videos always seem to motivate me. Thanks for all of the advice you give us (^~^)
Can’t explain how much I needed this video. I watch so many sketchbook flip through because I love them but they do make me feel down about my own sketchbook. ‘Why is mine not as polished and complete as theirs?’ ‘Should I be perfecting everything I sketch?’
I’m always buying new sketchbooks with the intent to make this the ‘perfect’ one. But why? Only I’m going to see it, I have no plans to share them just yet so why do I feel like they’re going to be critiqued?
I appreciate your video for helping me let go of the pressure to create perfection and finished art. For reminding me to loose control and experiment and practice in my sketchbook, after all that’s what it’s for
Thank you 🙏
I just went back to lined notebooks, I drew SEVEN PAGES in a few hours. sometimes we just need something small to make you feel comfortable for a while, I don’t necessarily recommend it for everyone but i got to the point I hate drawing and want to quit so bad, but drawing used to be a thing I loved so much nothing could stop me from drawing. So being at that point pushed me to try a lot of things. Spent a lot of money on getting a cintiq, paint, canvas, markers, sketchbooks, and all that just to realize right now I need my lined sketchbook. Now I have those things to explore with later when I feel more comfortable with my art.
I wish for all artists here and everywhere lots and lots of motivation!!
A tip for my fellow anxious artists:
Get a small(er) sketchbook!
Having a big sketchbook can really make you feel pressured to make big and highly detailed pieces. And big sketchbooks can be pretty intimidating. With a smaller sketchbook you can’t put in that many details which personally makes me feel at ease. Plus you can carry it anywhere!
My sketchbook has a lot of finished stuff in it but it also has a lot of unfinished stuff
I found your channel after like months and when I heard the intro I knew it was gonna be something good even though I forgot your channel but your intro still made me recognize it and gosh I am so happy to watch your content again! I also found this video really useful, it actually helps to just sketch and doodle in your sketchbook. I am actually doing that now and it's so much fun than just restricting myself to finished drawings. I also think you should make more podcast-styled videos, I really like those just listening to you while watching you sketch. I find it hard to listen to someone for so long but your voice is really nice to listen to!
i appreciate making an aesthetically pleasing sketchbook, not because i actually do finished pieces in mine, but it has inspired me to try to actually make a page look good, or cohesive. growing up my sketchbooks were a lot of literal scribbles and like one drawing in the center of a page, not drawing on the backs, if i got frustrated with a drawing id just scribble it out and flip to the next page. flipping through it didnt really make me feel that great about my art. now im inspired to try to fill pages and not leave big blank spaces, i try to keep a page cohesive in SOME way, its still very loose but it makes me feel better that theres effort put into it. the book itself is like one big art piece!
i've been more carefree with my sketchbook ever since i started watching your sketchbook videos and applied tips you gave us. truly my fave artist 😭💕
I've been drawing everyday, but my school year is going to start soon so I think I might get burnt out. I can already feel my creative flow slowing down
Same
I used to be one of those people who did a finished thing on every page. I experimented and all that, but everything was polished and fully rendered (this included the practice drawings I did). It took me ages to realise that I'd completely cut out doodles and sketches and that was having a negative effect on me - no wonder I kept getting art blocks! Not to mention being a perfectionist like that made me lose the sense of fun I'd got when I used my older sketchbooks. Luckily, I've got all that back now!
Long story short, doodling saves lives and sketchbooks are an adventure!
I think this is a great video. Showing that being a artist doesnt mean you allways make finished pieces, showing the real sketching and working in a sketchbook and that this sketchbook doesnt have to be perfect... RUclips is great but can be misleading for me as an beginner artist. People showing only the finished art in time laps, makes me think i dont need to practice and i an the art i create need to be perfect in a limited time frame. So thanks for the reminder!!! Xxx
You are one of my favorite artists! You are so inspiring💜
I got into drawing a bit ago after falling out of it for about 5 years (I more or less was just copying) and now whenever I’m in a sketchbook I’m trying to learn. I practice anatomy and construction, different facial expressions, and trying to think of ways to portray a character overall, if I end up drawing something pretty full I also use that to practice with colored pencils to see what looks good. That’s about it
I use my sketchbook to explore some of my ideas and mostly to do fundamental exercises.
For a long time, I never even thought about drawing in anything other than sketchbooks, or, frankly, doing anything but what a lot of people would call "sketching". I'm a full-on sketcher. Most of my "finished" stuff, even now, starts and ends on the same piece of paper, with the same pencil. Unless I'm doing digital. I use sketchbooks for warmups, concept sketches, studies, and sometimes finished pieces.
I found one of my pretty much empty sketchbook yesterday that I got in high school, it's made with computer paper. I want to fill it up since I haven't drawn in a while
This is week is on fire with art topic videos. And yours is definitely on point. Perfect topic of discussion. I mostly use sketchbooks as a place for just doodles, ideas & a collage of sorts. When I can't think of anything to draw, I like to put photos I took and make random lines around them. I also practice my hand lettering as well. Great video. 💖😊
I would really love to have this podcast style videos. It helps me concentrate more on my sketches and full detailed drawings like I'm doing right now.
Also i do agree with the sketchbook. It's called sketchbook for sketching 😂 not for fully-detailed drawings. I mean you could do that but it's like locking yourself in a prison then leaving the key hanging in one corner and just imagine the key wasn't there. All in all this video is really amazing ♥️😍
Alright, alright, I'm opening up my sketchbook. That's been crazily inspiring, lady ;D
P. S. Love this podcast style and join me on this sketchbook playground, you lazy artists! xD
Yes! I'm glad it inspired you
Wow 13 views and 12 likes!? You have an awesome community
I do!
I love using really small sketchbooks, but I always feel like I should be drawing bigger or that my skills aren’t developing because I’m not using more space, but I always feel more inspired and more comfortable when I just have a small page to fill, what do you think?
Maybe you could have a small sketchbook with good paper that you like, and a big one with a bit thinner paper to just sketch more freely in with pencil? Big paper is great for fast sketches, like anatomy studies etc. but can be overwhelming to paint on
I feel like you should just do what you're comfortable with. You can still develope and grow as an artist even with a small sketch book. It dont matter what size sketch book you got imo
I agree with you about the podcast style vids. Great video as usual Jel! 👍🏻❤
To follow this mental health video I'd enjoy hearing of ways to ensure we maintain our drawing hand healthy. How often do you take breaks from drawing, what hand exercises might you do & what do you keep in mind to not cause your hand unneeded stress? I overworked mine which gave my index finger a slight burning sensation & a bit of a tremor. I need to be more conscious of how I'm using it & see where I can spare it.
WOOO
You always manage to spark my motivation when I need it most! Thank you Jel, I'll get straight to drawing
I agree with you I use my sketchbook for anything and everything but I’ve noticed having watched many sketchbook tours there are 4 types of sketchbooks people commonly have Idk if anyone else noticed this.
1. The sketchbook that only has fully finished pieces beautiful art all colored or finished
2. The sketchbook that only has doodles and no finished pieces because they wanna keep it for only sketching or doodles you may see some color in the sketchbook but it’s more messy and doodling colors
3. A mix of a and B there are some sketches and doodles but also some beautiful and fully finished works of art in the sketchbook
Or
4. The kind of sketchbook where the artist fills up every single spot on the page and there are loads of doodles on the pages and things stuck into the pages to fill in white space and basically in these type of sketchbooks your not going to see a lot of white pages bc they make the most out of every page!
And if you really want to go future on rare occasion you find the sketches that are delicate to only one thing like a sketchbook for only studies, or only comic thumbnails, or only ocs ect.
Also! Don’t be afraid to revisit pages in your sketchbooks that need more love. I cannot count how many times I’ve left pages practically empty.
I bought a cheap sketchbook (less than 3€) but for the longest time I was scared to use it. I thought every page had to be coherent and I couldn't experiment in it. But recently I discovered i can use acrylic paint in it and I've filled as many pages in a week that I did in 3 months. I'm so happy with it now no page looks the same and ive progressed a lot
The thing is in the UK teachers are demanding highly finished artwork in sketch books I've seen talented children put off art forever by these so called art teachers I'm glad you've produced this video about this subject maybe the message will get to some of these so called art teachers.
I used to be terrified of using a sketchbook unless I was sure my drawing would be perfect. Then, a few years ago, I decided to make my own sketchbook. I used printer paper and cut up a cardboard box for the cover and splodged some paint over it. Because it was all recycled and cheap paper, I was so much more relaxed about using it
i always get motivated with your videos, thank you :D
Couldn't agree more with this video!
Hey, just here to see, I was drawing while listening to this and peeking you're drawing every 3 minutes but at some point it was just so relaxing and I love this art style so much that I stopped for a bit 🙋♀️
Ps: loved your video, and thank you for making it -your voice is soft-
I like to do whatever I feel like drawing "the good the bad the ugly" just for fun and practice
This video was very helpful, thanks for making it!
This video truly helped me so much. I feel a lot more relaxed now when it comes to my sketchbook and I feel like I don’t need to live up to some extraordinary expectation that I have for myself. Thank you for helping me so much! Just subbed 💕
This was very helpful. I had some hurtful comments about my sketches. I haven't been able to draw since. I'm so mad cause it was an outlet.
Great reminder to relax!
I have 4 sketchbooks specifically one for my fully rendered art (artbook style), one for my studies, one for thumbnailing and one for my smutty art.
I would like to add on that recently I’ve been so obsessed with what people like and what people want to see I don’t even think about my own art journey and enjoyment. I came to this realization recently and I finally have let loose and started drawing dumb doodles, fanart, etc. I’ve been in the mindset I can’t draw anything that that hasn’t been fabricated by my imagination. Which I still enjoy but I’ve been so intense about it I just didn’t enjoy it anymore. That’s all I had to say.
What a great birthday present! :)
Nice video, some of my artfriends could realy use it. I'll definitely share it
Since I started having a sketchbook, I carry it everywhere and sketch every idea in it... this way I don’t have to stumble on... “Where will I put this drawing or idea?”... it is also a beautiful way of archiving my art journey... I see it as an art diary :) it’s my personal place for me to explore!
I use my sketchbook for fanart, coming up with original ideas, and for developing my own personal style! I love drawing!!! 💓💕😊💗💘
I Just Found You But I Absolutely ADORE YOU!! 😩💕
I have alot of sketchbooks and I bounce from one to the other. I have a book that goes everywhere with me! Great vid Xxxx
I usually have two sketch books. One for doodles and another for like my 'so called' master pieces
I think about it the other way. I keep my ‘sketchbooks’ for my final copy art. If I want to plan something or try something new, I use tear off pads. Sketchbooks are more expensive and it’s easier to keep all my final pieces together. All the scratchy, messy sketches go on the cheaper, tear off pad paper. But painting is my hobby, something I do for my own enjoyment, so I don’t mind if it’s not a conventional way to collect my work.
I used to do a single drawing on one side of the paper. Well over half the paper wound up unused in those sketchbooks 😅 These days I use my sketchbook for warmups, experimentation, and thumbnails.
Bravo! Great tutorial. I love your line a visual diary.
Now explain paper because aside from the older artists that are on RUclips no one knows anything about paper.
Congrats on a well produced video.
Your videos really inspire me to grab my sketch book and start doodling!
Thank you this makes me feel much better about my sketchbooks I love your artwork btw😄
This was amazing and so helpful!!! :D Now I feel like I can start on my comics by putting comic ideas into one sketchbook. Thank you for making this video!! :)
Thanks for the info.i found it very interesting.
I really struggle with my sketchbook because I feel like it as to be a masterpiece...
I try to feel more free and stop thinking to much
Thank for this video 😊❤️
It’s always been sketches or studies, it fills up quickly but they didn’t feel important, because they didn’t look important, but now I own my sketchbook
Excellent video! ❤️
It's the first time I hear a video mention a problem with limiting myself that I used to have! I had an OC sketchbook and a sketchbook for other stuff and I felt like I wasn't allowed to draw stuff that's not OCs in the "OC sketchbook" haha
