Why don't you draw more often?
Lack of practice with procrastination. But I was thinking how to add more drawing time in my schedule when you make this video. Thanks!
Sports practices, school and social media 😅🥲
I bind my own watercolour sketchbooks, and I procrastinate when I can draw so I don’t have to bind a new one too soon (it’s quite a bit of work 😅). Also, I while away quite some time on social media: something I’ve been trying to cut back on.
I guess because I don't have anything ready, Your first tip is to have it easily accessible. Also, it's not a habit yet for me. Thank you for uploading this impactful guide (✿◠‿◠)
wacky work schedule that suddenly shifts to overtime is my time stealer BUT I found the small drawing tablets Very Suitable for a 'break time sketch' - 5-10 mins is so refreshing!
My main problem is watching other artists create when I should be spending that time drawing myself.
Yess I spend too much time getting motivation/inspiration
This is my problem 😭
As long as you eventually do something of your own creative, I feel watching youtube artists is very helpful and entertaining. Before this tech era, I would buy art books and not really look at them much after one sitting, but now with youtube I find endless variety and learn something new everyday even at 4 am if I can't sleep
Don't wait, start sketching something small on a small sketchbook.

The tip of having your sketchbook out and ready to go is probably the main way I got my drawing habit established
Congrats!🥳 on getting your drawing habit established. I know that's the one major area that will help change everything for me.
Some helpful tips in there. Social media is very much a time sink and is definitely a problem area for me. The drawings of your kids are very cute!
It's hard when I watch so many sketchbook tours and they're so aesthetic and full of nice drawings of original characters and fanart... THEN MY SKETCHBOOK LOOKS LIKE A POTATO.
I've many sketchbooks and pages that don't look good too
Potatoes are quite pretty in their own way! It's fine if you are having fun.😊
Yeah bonus if they call them "sketches" or "doodles" and all you see are fully rendered, completely finished artworks and illustrations.
I love Tiffany's additions to your sketchbooks! My son does the same! One time my 8yo son and his friend were in the back seat of my car with my neocolors, scribbling all over the pages of my sketchbook. I titled those pages, "Two Boys in the Back Seat, No. 1" etc. He has also painted in some of my line drawings. I don't mind at all, because a sketchbook is about the process rather than the end result, and now it has extra memories in it.
Just now I was getting frustrated with myself because I wasn't filling my sketchbooks fast enough, so this video came at the right time. Thanks for the advice Teoh!
Same! Happy sketchbook filling 👍🏽
Another tip would be to stop watching RUclips videos on how to draw more and use the time to make a drawing instead :P
My problem I work by "waves". Sometimes I can't stop drawing and I do two or more sketches a day. That's usually when I do my best work and also when I learn the more.. But sometimes family problems take my down and I don't feel like sketching... Even if I try I used to make silly mistakes and I don't have the will to continue. Thank you for your videos Teoh.
Keep looking up friend, maybe make a habit of finding something good in each negative situation and sketch something around that?? Life can be tough, but I know You can & will make it better by just being You. ☮❤2U
I got lots of ideas from this video. I like the idea of assigning a theme to a sketchbook and filling with pretty mundane things, like the baby products. I think sometimes I lose motivation to draw because I feel I need to draw something special and complicated. The drawings of your children’s toys are so simple, but made a great spread of drawings. This inspired to try draw everyday things, like the jar of pesto I had for dinner, it tasted really good!
Working on a day job, having a family, a RUclips channel and still being able do keep a drawing practice makes you a very successful man! 😊 It always comes to what we prioritize in our lives, sometimes things get more complicated and we can’t draw for weeks, but we need to remember how good it feels - even when our drawings don’t end up as satisfying as we hoped for. I’m just talking to myself here! 😄 thank you for another great video!!
I keep a thinner sketchbook so I can fill it up faster. I get great joy when I get done with a sketchbook and am then able to pick up a new one (usually a different size to experiment with, compared to previous sketchbook). I also like keeping a pocket sketchbook to sketch while commuting via public transport :)
Anyway, I love your videos Teoh! This one was a delight to watch! It was helpful to know about how you approach making RUclips videos as well.
Your sleeping children sketches are the most beautiful treasures ❤😊
Lots of good advices here. In my case, I need to choose simple subjects, otherwise my perfectionism kicks in and I start to procrastinate.
I love your sense of humor!
I spend too much time watching RUclips art videos rather than painting and sketching 🤪
Your kids are wonderful 🥰
I enjoy drawing but sometimes my perspective is off and becomes frustrating so I put everything away and check back , I’m self taught so it takes me longer to figure things out , thanks for your video , very helpful 😊
I like the suggestion of making a list of things you want to do when you are ready to do something. The drawing of noisy things was cute. I like the drawings of and with your kids, those will be treasures.
I love the samples of your artwork you chose to share. So many different color ideas on those pages
I love how you allow your kid to cribble in your sketchbooks. They learn that what they do is valuable. That'll maintain their confidence and they will keep on drawing and with the amount of practice they will get better.
And by the way: Thank you for your videos! I love watching them and always take some insight with me.
Precious tips, Teoh! I'm glad to hear you have another daughter. I've been away for a while due to personal issues and now I'm coming back and catching up on everything on your channel. As always, a great vídeo!
That motorcycle drawing was delightful! Thank you for this video. I definitely don't draw as much as I want to, I always feel too busy.
Thank you for your kind words🙏
Wonderful tips, Teoh! I love Tiffany's art and your drawings of your daughters. I'm just going out now to hike and will bring a small sketchbook. Thanks for always inspiring me!
I first started following you because of your clear pointers on drawing uphill and downhill perspective. Just wanted you to know how much you are helping
I always bring my iPad to work for my breaks.
Some days I can get in 50 minutes of work, when I would've otherwise not wanted to before or after work.
I have a very exhausting job.
Feels like the only way to complete anything nowadays, as my style requires a lot of time, especially since I'm always learning whenever I start a new picture.
At one point I did have a pocket notepad and a pen to sketch off my phone.
When I get a good day in, it makes me feel a lot better about coming to work.
Doesn't feel like I'm just living for the weekends, but when I do get to them, they're set up so that I can spend 10 hours drawing.
Can I ask if you find drawing with the iPad good for drawing ? I’m thinking of getting
one but not side which type or brand is best.
Thanks !
Ooh, Tiffany has a baby sister now! Congratulations!
Thanks for this video, I always try to keep a little sketchbook on me when I’m out and about but I’ve been drawing less at home than I used to. This video is inspiring me to go back to daily practice!
You are such a great teacher! Thank you for sharing your talents so generously! :-)
Great tips! The drawings of/with your kids are so cute!!
In line with keeping a list of things to do, I also keep lots of reference photos and inspiring artwork to pull from on Pinterest. It helps me draw a lot, though I'm kinda bad at focusing on things I want to improve such as anatomy. Drawing has also become a great way for me to procrastinate on other things (like schoolwork oops) while still feeling productive haha
Really great advice! Very simple, but Very important!
Wonderful, Teoh! ❤️ seeing your drawings. So inspiring! The “habit” tip is golden. Thanks for sharing your experience with that. For me, creating habits is the one thing that has worked best for me so far since time and energy has been difficult for me to find due to restrictions on both in my particular circumstances.
Wow, what an amazing artist you are! Thank you for sharing. Glad I found your channel.
Wait, when did you have a second child???
These are really great tips! I keep a small messenger bag with a mixed media book, water brush and small watercolor palette around the house which i always keep near me and no matter where i am in the house, i have access to them when i can make a quick drawing. I find watercolor to be a faster medium to work with than the markers I used to work with, and drawing digitally when i work from home with a computer just adds to my eye strain.
With that, rest is always really good! I think one really important piece of advice i can add to all this is moreso for digital artists is to take breaks from digital art once in a whlie and switch to traditional for a bit if your eyes are tired from how many hours were spent on the screen. It's a good opportunity to practice and discover other drawing supplies and mediums, and when your eyes are rested, you can return to your digital projects.
Very helpful tip!
Another one which helped me a lot - I struggle with new and nice (or even expensive) sketch books. I feel like I could ruin them with my sketches. I just want to draw something perfect into them. But those thougths prevented me from using the sketch books (yes, plural!). So I began to "ruin" them, losing my respect for them - I draw/sketch something into it which is not perfect. Or I even demolish one page with some ink splatter, crumble the page or whatever. It helps because whatever I do now - it is better than this. :D
Definitely draw your children more…you will start to forget, your memories may start running together, and you find it hard to determine what memory went with which child.
Especially in an art form growing children may really appreciate and enjoy
your documentations, both now…and later!
Thanks for the great tips! What helps me the most is having a sketchbook and pencil/pen within reach. I just bought myself a Portable Palette to keep watercolors easily accessible as well.
Man your channel is gold. Reviews are just miracle for any sort of beginner digital artists
Clearly, you're more productive when you have your tool on sight because you actually remember to use it. I'm also more efficient when I use a list so this applies to art. I like prompt lists and dedicated sketchbooks. I think it's easier when you have a goal rather than just trying to fill a sketchbook.
great idea, i really need to have quick access to reference or like You say, prompt lists. I could wear myself out preparing to draw.
@@eze8608 Yes, reference too! I have a folder on the sidebar of my computer for that.
Love the children’s art! Great idea. I find doodles and scribbles in old journals and remember when my kids were young. I wish I started drawing then, and documenting like you’re doing. Wonderful memories. Having sketchbooks to test ideas and materials is also a wonderful tip. I will use that one. I have been using more mixed media paper lately. It seems robust. The sizing is different than in watercolour paper and it handles wet media differently. That’s been fun. Thank you for the tips about being productive too, especially resting. Must remember this! Thanks again.
I love your sketches and style!
Great video! With work and three very young kids, drawing is hard to do. I have done your tip on getting out sketchbooks for the kids to draw in while I draw or watercolor. They really enjoy it and, like you said, it is fun to go back and see their progress in learning to draw things.
Thank you so much for all of these great tips!
Thanks very much Teoh, I always leave feeling very inspired after watching your videos!
I prefer to draw in the morning when there is good light and I’m mentally refreshed. So I try not to schedule other activities, errands or commitments that may potential clash w this time window. It means I’ve created the mental space ready to draw without distractions or excuses.
Great tips, thank you! I just love how you invite your daughter to draw with you, those scribbles will be precious memories for both of you. So lovely and sweet! :) Thank you for sharing it. It feels very personal.
Thank you so much, I really needed this !! Also your drawings and sketches are amazing ❤️❤️
Love the idea of drawing with Tiffany!
Great history!
Thank you for the great tips I agree less time on social media takes up a lot of time , your kids are so cute Tiffany learning quickly , Trisha is a doll ❤️both girls are going to learn much on sketching from their dad ✍️
Just what I needed, thanks, Teoh.
Super video, very helpful and inspiring! 🌟
Great video, thanks for these practical tips!
You gave very good and actionable advice here. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous and inspiring. Thank you.
Only reason why I don't draw that often is fear of failure. I have ideas I really want to bring to life, but I get so impatient whenever nothing's happening fast. Like getting better at poses, anatomy groups, animals, objects, and backgrounds. And I really want to make a living of what I would do.
Another thing that stops me is when I don't plan well for these things, and I need to improve so badly. So thanks for the tips.
Thank you so much for the tips. Super helpful
You are so great Dad!
And thank you for video! Very useful tips
My issue with perfectionism has been solved with the iPad and the transform tool in Procreate.
A big tip from me!: do very very loose sketches of ppl if you have not much time (with pen or charcoal). You will improve dramatically in finding postures :)
Quite helpful tips! Thanks for this video!
What? 2 kids? Congratulations, I am out of the loop! so happy for you! how wonderful! love your ideas too, I have had hard time to draw more often. thank you, Teoh!
Great ideas Teoh, thanks!
Your art is so beautiful Teoh 💕❤️❤️ that ink you make flow so effortlessly and colors you use 😍
Great video full of inspiration and great ideas. I agree, with a busy life it is frustrating not to make the time for yourself. I appreciate your time, experiences and knowledge to guide us with the sketchbook. I have mine going as much as I can and I don’t feel bad anymore. Blessings and take care. I found your channel a few minutes ago and I’m a new subscriber. Great content and very appropriate for me.
Thank you, I like your lectures,especially this one, very motivated.
I often carry a small sling bag ( consists of a A5 sketchbook, 2 or 3 fountain pens and water brushes filled with diluted ink ) when go grocery with my wife. This is how I kill time while waiting for her. Wish her shop longer haha.
Man, you're very talented!
The creating visual journal for a theme that I chose actually made me draw without pushing myself. Thank you sir 👍
I’ve been procrastinating for couple days. But these tips really helped me.
Also doing small sketches and the mindset of using sketch books to test ideas is pretty good tactic for beating perfectionism.
Hi Teoh! I really enjoyed this vid today! Thanks
Great advice. I just bought an A6 to keep in my purse and I’ve already made use of it while waiting for someone.
This was a very good video, thank you so much!!
I like this video! Thank you!
Thank you! Inspired!,🌅🙏🏼🤩
Wow!! Two kids I missed something!! I remember your daughter and you added to your family! Congratulations!
Thank you so much for the advice. Agree with all your points here, and it's something I def need to make a habit of! I even bought a Samsung Tab S6 Lite with my first paycheck when I just started my full-time job merely because I wanted to draw more in-between downtimes and don't have to worry about waiting to get home to finish my sketches digitally (I used to do the latter in my college years as I could only doodle with my notebook lol)
Though as you said, I def need to spend less time on social media and make it a daily routine to draw whenever I get the free time. I still rely on motivations to start anything haha
Hai Teoh
Very impressed! I like the sketchbook dedicated to your childrens' growth :) and how you are filling it as they grow. Marvelous!
And, the suggestions/statements you are making in the process of your video narration are profound!
Thank you
Kiran
Beautifull sketches thank you for sharing❤️🍀🙏🏻
Excellente vidéo sur le carnet de voyage, carnet de vie ! J’encourage mes petits-enfants à pratiquer ce mode d’expression pour évaluer leur progression et créer des souvenirs
Les photos sont scrollées les dessins on s’y arrête
Lovely all your sketch book drawing art
Thank you for sharing
👍😍
Love your daughter’s additional to your sketchbook
I have a small sketchbook in my purse. Have used it many times in waiting rooms drawing people on their cell phones lol.
Thanks for your tips🙏😉👍
Carrying a small sketchbook and kit helps me to sketch more since it fits in my pocket. I tell beginner this tip.
Great ideas for sketchers..
Excellent content💯👌🏻👏🏻❣
Great tips Teoh! For myself, If i am not making drawing videos, I immediately switch to fill up my sketchbook. That will mean I will have a sketchbook tour video which viewers have not seen before. This is really useful when One is busy and yet I wanted to have " me time" to draw freely😊 May I know the digital app you are using?
love u teoh
I agree with reducing social media time. Have to put the phone away, pick up a pencil and start drawing.. Or start creating something..
It's definitely one of the biggest time and creativity drainers.
TY
Thank you - I can see that it is easier to draw/sketch everyday if it becomes a good habit 👊
YOU ARE AN AWESOME PERSON AND REALLY COOL ARTIST. I ENJOY YOUR REVIEWS ON HUION TABLETS AND OTHERS. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LITTLE FAMILY. MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT FROM SOUTHWEST UTAH, USA.
Thanks for this Teoh!! Such great advice!!! I'd love to know what sketchbooks those were that you featured and what brush that was in the end. I love how you include your children in the process and into your art world!
the brush with sharp tip at the end is Silver Black Velvet
Thank You 💝✨💞💫💖
One thing I did with my son was to draw random shapes or squiggles on a piece of paper and then trade to see what the other could draw using the random shapes they were given. It definitely helps though an artist block and you can really get some fun silly ideas going.
Good simple advice! Many Thanks Brad Holmes Tai Chi Gold Coast
Nice 👍
I purchased a Lamy Vista fountain pen to hopefully get me motivated to sketch more… but so far I have not sketched with it… :( the EF nib was super scratchy and I just ordered a medium nib…. that should feel better and get me motivated… 🤞🏼
Thank you so much for your helpful videos! I’m trying to make sketching a habit so I am trying sketch every day now. (Starting today, lol). Today I made a sketch in pencil and went over it in ink and when I tried to erase the pencil lines the ink smeared. Can you recommend an ink that won’t smear, and that also will handle watercolors? I have a couple of ink pins that I enjoy drawing with, and the refillable bag the piston method.Thank you in advance! Jean Mayo
Anyone can click a photo of their but this guy is sketching awesome man 😊
Miss seeing you ;-). I get it now. Keep peace above all. Hope to see you soon 🌺
I love that you included rest. I had a question that I hope is okay to ask--can you get income from creating a blog as well?
I just hit post before I edited the last post, the last sentence should be refillable by the piston method, not sure I got that right. Thank you for understanding. And now I can’t find my previous post. 🙈My question was, after drawing in pencil and go on going over it in ink, it smeared terribly when I tried erase the pencil lines. I have several ink pans are refillable by the piston method, can you recommend an ink that will not smear and will handle the watercolors? Thank you in advance! Jean Mayo
You can see my ink recommendations here www.parkablogs.com/content/waterproof-fountain-pen-inks-drawing
After listening to that intro, yup, that is definitely me...
Thank you! I was wondering what was that red pen you used near the end of the video to draw the window?

Hi Theo, thanks for the helpful tips!
I'd like to ask a question, hope you don't mind though it is not directly related to this topic, but still about drawing.
Lately I have been rewatching your fountain pens videos playlist.
I was wondering, do you know if one can use waterproof ink with a dip pen, without risking to get the ink to dry (and permanently), having to leave the bottle open for quite a longer time?
I have a similar problem when using masking fluid in watercolor painting, actually. I always find it forming a dry, gummy coat on the surface in a few minutes.
Thank you in advance!
You can use waterproof ink with dip pens. If you leave ink bottles open for too long, they will indeed dry out, but you should be able to add water back to the bottle if the ink becomes too thick.
@@teohyc Thank you 😊 I'g going to try then!
