For me the trick was to stop think of it as a “sketchbook”. For me, it’s my “workbook”. It’s similar to my elementary school math and grammar workbooks except it’s art and I’m 43yo old, lol.

Stephen is becoming better and better at being a youtuber. BTW you have nailed the camera angle and the lighting. It might be helpful for us if you could do a video on the camera setup and lighting. Thank you for all your videos.

I really needed this. I haven't drawn for the last 3 months due to my low self confidence. You're a constant source of inspiration and hope Stephen! Keep the vids coming! ❤

oh wow no one ever mentions that when you get a sketchbook you try different marks with different mediums within those pages. I see, its a brilliant way to break it in. It's a natural way that when as a kid you make marks in a notebook. 😊

The worst thing I can do is a really good sketch on my first page. Suddenly there is pressure to maintain that level and I find myself avoiding that sketchbook. The swatching or scribbling on the first page I've found to be a game changer. It sets the bar low so I have no psychological pressure to perform on the subsequent pages. Thanks for this.

For me the additional difficulty to draw in a sketchbook is a wish to make each spread look harmonically. So I cannot just draw what I want now, I try to find something, which will look good next to previous page

I believe many of the points here apply to any art project. The no. 1 question is whether or not it's gonna be Instagramable 🙂. And then the questions of subject, medium and references can really take some precious time when you have the drive to finally start it. Many of the works I'm proud of came from a clear vision of these things, so it's probably wise to keep rolling these ideas beforehand.

Invaluable information. I've collated a series of pictures I've screenshot from a video of the same person I find the features are interesting and it really has me gripped because it's all different angles in the same sitting. Giving me a good chance to get the likeness of this person correct

Yeah, I feel like the medium point is key. I love doing refined drawings in graphite, but whenever sketch in it, I always kind of hate it. Picked up some red conte crayons and a tan-toned sketchbook a while ago and something about that combo hit my brain just right. From there the sketches flowed like water. Just found it much easier to get a developed sketch in limited time with that combo for me.

Sketching from life is the best fun and removes perfectionism.

I love you Stephen

Going on your advice to practice blocking-in I have been finishing one small drawing (block in) in a sketch book worked on a little here and there, every two days. So in a month I made14. I dont have a lot of free time. I didn't have any issue with confidence as the block-in approach is methodical and it means I make less risky creative decisions, I know my materials well as I love graphite though I am using harder pencils than I am used to. Point 3 has been a sticking point. Finding images is not easy, I use pinterest mostly as it has a lot of interesting stuff. But I do find myself procrastinating and wasting time.
