Currently, I am working in a notebook that was gifted to me. ❤ It has my name on it and a leather cover, I doodle, draw and journal in it; trying to experience new things in it too. It's very dear to me cause it's from my best friend I met this year, who also happens to be the guy I love. 😂😍
I use the Canson XL mixed media paper, only I get it at walmart because its half the price. Its not the greatest paper in the world but when you're poor like me it works. XD - I love it. :3 I'm sure Strathmore is better, but its also unaffordable for me so XD
I love your channel and I am thinking about buying a sketch book because I love to draw. And create art. I have been watching you since 2014! Love your channel.
My canson sketchbook fell apart the day I opened it. Artist loft materials are usually a big nono but their alcohol markers can be good cheaper options for beginners. I usually use artist loft or strathmore they're surprisingly very nice.
I have the large hard bound artist loft sketchbook, it’s not my favorite but if you’re a beginner it’s good because it’s thicker than notebook or printer paper and you’re getting lots of it for the price.
Completely agree! Sister in law got me the hardbound artist loft sketchbook for Christmas. She ment well, but I open/close, beat up, watercolor, etc. all over the pages. So the binding is coming off and splitting easily. It is great for beginner beginners, though. I prefer the Strathmore or Canson spiral bounds
😍 so glad you did this video. I get the same excitement when I go to get art supplies. Always nice to see what other artists like in supplies.Thank you
Yasss, I 100% agree with all you said on sketchbooks! Bound hardback sketchbooks are the best! Canson I don’t like ether. I have like a few of the XL ones that I haven’t really ever used cause I dislike them so much. 😂And the marker aisle.... so beautiful 😍 Micheal’s has the best marker selection by far! I don’t have a Micheal’s near me but I do have a Hobby lobby, now I’m gonna have to go!! Haha
I get the 8x5 Artist Loft ones and tbh theyre dope af. I do glue my pages together, just to make them sturdier, but the paper does hold up to watercolors well for just simple sketch paper
OMG!!!! I LOVE CANSON!!!! I think they are so much better then strathmore, cheaper, and better quality. In my opinion. I just like them so much more. Even though strathmore is really good!
I have few choices in my area since our art/craft options are Joann Fabric, Pat Catan, and WalMart. I decided to try the Strathmore sketch 200 series because it was the only smaller sized sketchbook besides the Daler-Rowney simply line that I already knew wasn't really great for anything beyond light warm ups or really loose sketches for ideas in my WalMart. The piece I did in graphite turned out really well, so I was happy at first. Left it in my bag like I did my simply and my Canson XL mixed media sketchbooks for nearly 2 years with no trouble. The Strathmore smudged and scrubbed to the point I have yet to get the heart to try to fix it. I was so glad I took a photo right after I had finished it or it would have been a lot harder to accept. I did finally break down and get another simply, this time hard bound rather than spiral, to see how I like that binding. I was really putting off studies and some practice I knew I would do in that simply sketchbook just because I see it as throw away in quality. So it created a small problem where when I want to use the Strathmore for a piece, it has to be where I will be at home only which is disappointing in a way. I feel bad having bought it and then feeling like I can't take full advantage of its size. Hmm, maybe my paper mate erasable color leads won't smudge like the graphite... I really need to figure out how to make that book portable without feeling like everything put in it won't be ruined.
i have a mixed media 5x8 masters touch sketchbook and its actually pretty good. i dont honestly know too much since im used to none watercolor paper and im like a beginner too..
Ahhhhh, thank you for this video!! I’ve been dealing with some serious mental health for the past few years and haven’t been artsy AT ALL, and I feel so lost, and your informative video has me hopping in my car and ready to go shop!! Thank you, you’ve gained a happy new subscriber today 💖✨🍄🌿🐰😌
I was looking for a hard bound sketchbook like yesterday, walked into hobby lobby just to see what they had. I found Masters touch, and I Love it so much. Its the same one in the video. I tested my copic ciao in it and they didnt bleed through! Super excited to fill this one up!
Sketchbooks are my weakness. I keep buying them. I have a huge collection of unused ones. Lol My boyfriend teases me because I can't leave a Michael's store without a sketchbook.
The sketchbook journal at 10:02 those are really amazing to sketch in, but if you want to watercolor, just use lightwater on the paper. But I’m not sure about markers. I think color pencils are okay to use on it though. - information XXX
canson is my favorite brand and i accept your opinion because not all sketchbooks are the best and the same. 💗 Also these were good tips for beginner supplies. I think you go to the same michaels as me. lol
I'm a Hobby Lobby fan. Always preferred the Master's Touch brand as compared to Artist Loft. Plus, they usually always have deals on art supplies and sketchbooks!!
Gosh I don't know any art stores around here and I really would love a gel pen, faber castells and a notebook or a sketchbook maybe for doodles and stuff. 😂❤😭
Michaels doesn’t have as much of a variety of sketchbooks like hobby lobby does. Best part is, they’re opening a hobby lobby that’s part of the mall that’s 10 minutes away from me😀😀😀
I have Daler Rowney sketchbooks, I got two of them, and apparently they do come apart easily. One has the spine ripping off, so I put duck tape on them, and the other has it’s separate pages coming apart, it’s starting to do that (and I just got it! I’m gonna get a book glue fixer and mend it back together). I don’t have a hobby Lobby or Michael’s in my town, Michael’s is my favorite, a different town close to where I live had built one and I’m hoping to go there, and if they ever build one In my town I would like to work there. I’ll probably try those ILLO sketchbooks, I’ll probably get one for Xmas.
I just wanna point out some cons about artists loft sketchbooks -markers bleed into the other page -binding is lazy and falls apart -if you rip one page out it ruins the next few pages
Arguementively, I prefer the spiral bound. I like the really big 11 by 14 sketchbooks, and having the spiralbound makes it so It takes up less space. Plus I dont get that really annoying bend that the hardbound ones have near the center. I don't like hobby lobby because of their history.
How do you have soo many sketchbooks(in the shop i mean)?? In my shop there are about 2 or 3 "sketchbooks" with about 10 pages and a A3 format. It drives me crazy that i can't seem to find a good sketchbook anywhere :(. Do you maybe have some suggestions on where you could buy some good, hard cover, mixed media paper? And i mean online because i'm from Croatia and Croatia is pretty far.
Bro I'm soooooo jealous cuz my parents wouldn't buy me anything they only went to the Dollarstore and brought me a y pack pencils and a 12 pack crayola markers which I have been using for a year now and the paper i use is normally just dollarstore paper or i just use the 40page used sketchbook I go t from my friend
If you're running a large corporation there's really no point in paying to advertise anymore. There are thousands of people willing to do the job without getting paid for it.
Her: “Yea Prismacolor is so cheap, So I totally recommend” Also her: *points at sign saying $39.99* Me: ExCuSe mE? HaVe yOu mEt mE! Not trying to hate but I just think if a supply isn’t cheap you shouldn’t say it is because that could draw you attention and not in a good way. AgAin I aM nOt tRyiNg tO HaTe..

well sketchbooks and notebooks can definitely be the love of your life! haha!
Yes they can! 😍
I would love to have an Illo sketchbook but, they are ALWAYS out of stock
Shhh I’m smurfing yeah same for me and i wanna order it online but for i can’t convince my mom to get it >:(
If you go on Illo sketchbook.com you can preorder it
I use the Canson XL mixed media paper, only I get it at walmart because its half the price.
Its not the greatest paper in the world but when you're poor like me it works. XD - I love it. :3
I'm sure Strathmore is better, but its also unaffordable for me so XD
Parasol Mushroom Art have you try the water one it so thick but it good with markers and pen and watercolor
Starving artist struggles 😳👍🏻
TheCoco151 I heard that’s bad too. I just use bee watercolor paper
Actually, I prefer Canson over Strathmore! I think that Canson is a great brand and definitely don’t be ashamed of using it! 💕💕💕
Chubby Jay Draws I love the bee paper brand it perfect but I always buy with coupons
I love your channel and I am thinking about buying a sketch book because I love to draw. And create art. I have been watching you since 2014! Love your channel.
thank you for sticking with me this long! definitely look into getting a sketchbook, you wont regret getting one!

yeah Artist Loft is not the best, but my Michael’s has SO much of that brand that i have to buy it if i want different art supplies
😍 so glad you did this video. I get the same excitement when I go to get art supplies. Always nice to see what other artists like in supplies.Thank you
i usually explore the whole art store first before buying cuz lookibg at the stationaties and books are soo beautiful
Yasss, I 100% agree with all you said on sketchbooks! Bound hardback sketchbooks are the best! Canson I don’t like ether.

DramaticParrot Oh believe me, I know exactly how you feel about that Lol!!

This is my Dream. Every thing I live about art is stuffed in here like a BURITO ❤️🌯
That Hobby Lobby looks like Blick. I've never heard of Master Touch sketchbooks. I'm going to check that out.
i have a mixed media 5x8 masters touch sketchbook and its actually pretty good. i dont honestly know too much since im used to none watercolor paper and im like a beginner too..

cupcake32009 sooo they are good ?? Cause I’m going to hobby lobby tmr :))) also what type of paper it is and can it hold water color ?
Your Michaels has better selection than mine like way better I'm so jealous
I used to use Canson a lot for markers. But now I use them just for scrap paper since I have so much of it :P
You should try canson monteval watercolor. Its super rad!
I needed this ❤ thanks 🙏🏻
Sketchbooks are my weakness. I keep buying them. I have a huge collection of unused ones. Lol My boyfriend teases me because I can't leave a Michael's store without a sketchbook.
😂🤣😂😂😂 I don't know why but thats cute

Art store is what i call heaven but too bad we live in a small town that is nowhere near any art store
canson is my favorite brand and i accept your opinion because not all sketchbooks are the best and the same. 💗 Also these were good tips for beginner supplies. I think you go to the same michaels as me. lol

Oh i love Daler Rowney paper, it's great quality!
Looks like your sketchbook is getting “character “ to it. Look Graham Smith up the things he does with his sketchbooks 👍🏻😳😀
I just wanna point out some cons about artists loft sketchbooks
-markers bleed into the other page
-binding is lazy and falls apart
-if you rip one page out it ruins the next few pages
if you do another shopping video like this can you do one on amazon?
absolutely!
Arguementively, I prefer the spiral bound. I like the really big 11 by 14 sketchbooks, and having the spiralbound makes it so It takes up less space. Plus I dont get that really annoying bend that the hardbound ones have near the center. I don't like hobby lobby because of their history.
Halloween in August? I was in a store called the Works here in the UK and they had Christmas cards in. Bah Humbug

How do you have soo many sketchbooks(in the shop i mean)?? In my shop there are about 2 or 3 "sketchbooks" with about 10 pages and a A3 format.

Hi
Who lives in the United States
Who's Michal?
.........
Ohhhhhhh it's a shop oh my British brain
at the start i thought this was a useless white girl meanwhile once she found the sketchbooks iwas actually interested. love the video!!
If you're running a large corporation there's really no point in paying to advertise anymore. There are thousands of people willing to do the job without getting paid for it.
Please stop saying back to school 😂 I’m going to middle school sixth grade and I’m ver scared 😦😭
noooo, don't be scared, you're going to have a lot of fun! I loved sixth grade! It was an awesome upgrade from elementary school!
DramaticParrot thank you for saying that I’m still a little scared but I’m looking forward to some things I love your videos thanks
3:49 WHAT YOU MEAN ITS CHEAP THATS 40 DOLLARS I CANT AFFORD THAT!!!!!!!

All States are not the same when it comes to pay rates & cost of living.

FIRST!!
What does first mean!!!!!?
Why whispering sound
Purvi Sangoi because she obviously doesn’t want to make noise in a public shop!
hobby lobby is better but do not buy masters touch paints.
I F**KING hate being a kid because I can’t go anywhere alone
michaels is not a artists haven! they have some good stuff but mostly crap
schleiper??????????
Michael's is a hobby store not an art store!
Anyone else dizzy? Whew! 😂😂😂
do not buy anything labled artist loft nothing!
Her: “Yea Prismacolor is so cheap, So I totally recommend”
Also her: *points at sign saying $39.99*
Me: ExCuSe mE? HaVe yOu mEt mE!
Not trying to hate but I just think if a supply isn’t cheap you shouldn’t say it is because that could draw you attention and not in a good way. AgAin I aM nOt tRyiNg tO HaTe..
Just came here to make my self envy 🥲
Hi
