That little whiteboard presentation is the perfect remedy for fears and hesitation. A blank page can be intimidating, yes, but it's also full of possibilities, and there's always a next page... until you've filled the sketchbook! It's amazing that today we have artists like Jess sharing this kind of information freely! Not all of us are yet achieving the type of skill and sophistication that we see here, but Jess Karp is a professional in the early prime of her career, so it's important to look at her sketchbook as an inspirational goal and realize what it took for her to get where she is, and what it takes to maintain those skills. This sketchbook tour shows how hard she works, the process she uses, and the payoff for putting the work in!

I love how the first page sketch is black & white & then the bottom wave of color carries into your second page full of colors. 🎨 🥰

I am soo impressed by the crispness of that typography used for "The Art of Jess Karp". I mean, the tiny lines surrounding the letters are just *so* satisfying to look at! Beautiful piece all around!

Hi Jess, I just wanted to stop by and tell you how much I love you. I adore your creativity and I'm very glad that you come to the aid of so many artists. I've been trying for a long time to let myself be carried away, to experiment and all this, but I felt like I was stuck, I was helped to get over that block and become the artist I dreamed of. Much love🥰

Every time you do a new spread for a new sketchbook it just blows me away. You are so talented and clearly dedicated. I really want to get into the habit of sketching every day. Even if it’s just doodles while on a zoom call for work. You’ve inspired me to dust off an old sketchbook and put pencil to paper.

Wow Jess ❣️ you NEVER EVER cease to amaze your viewers! Such talent! Cute video... seriously the Jess Karp figure in the sketchbook is soooooooooo adorable. And the way you've incorporated the large pencil from your "7 Creative Habits" video is the coolest! And speaking of the video, I have a confession to make - for some reason unbeknownst to me, I just keep coming back to that video again and again! It's really nice to watch you dish out the tips to help us stay creative. You rock, Jess! Keep shining 🌟

Hi! So Nice to meet you! I'm having trouble sleeping & at 3:30 a.m. decided to stop fighting it & find a sketch video to watch & yours came up. You are a very lovely young Lady! I've loved the 2 of your videos that I've watched so far. I never really sketched before but about 3 yrs ago decided to see if I could, then set it aside just picking it up here & there. I've only done bits & pieces but I'm enjoying it so much so far. I have a surgery coming so I'll be taking more time to sketch & in the mean time see more of ourr videos. I'm Linda, almost 65 yrs next week. I'm a widowed Mom of 2 plus the spouses & Gramma of 7. I look after one regularly & she has been my biggest & cutest inspiration. I never thought to post anything let alone on instagram but maybe I should try. I just hope I do it right! Lol! I'm still learning electronics too. Yikes! Thank you for sharing your talent! I really loved your opening intro to your new sketch book! Its beautiful & makes it look like fun & joyful & relaxing Art will be inside! Thank you!!

We’re starting a new sketchbook together! 🎉❤ I loved your music choices for this video Jess! 😊

Your sketchbook’s first page is absolutely stunning. Everything about it is so comforting. Seeing Tilda’s character play with the birds made me smile so hard!!

Never have I ever started a sketch book. I've been thinking about it in the last few days, and after watching your video think it's the right time to do it...thank you for making me think more positively about embarking on my sketchbook journey. It doesn't matter what I draw, paint or airbrush, it only matters that I enjoy it. So have fun kids!

I love, love, love, the way you sketch, draw and paint and what a great design flows from it. Every time I get creative jitters to start drawing immediately. Thank you for your beautiful and inspiring videos!

Just started watching your channel. I'm going to be 52 this year and love your work. I've dabbled in art from time to time. I am so inspired by your style, your philosophy in life and your commitment to your craft. I will definitely keep on watching for motivation but not too much or I'll won't get anything done. 😂

Hi Jess, The first page you have created is giving me a great start for ideas for my sketchbook.The art tools and looking to the most important tings in my life. I have many blessing. One of them is your example. Hal

Love this new sketchbook…so lovely and cute . The calligraphy is outstanding, I never tried it with a paint brush. Must try it immediately. Thanks for sharing

I love all of your pieces! I'm so on board with the excitement for what the future brings in our art journies. I was so excited to post art on Instagram that I paused the video to post it right away, then came back and learned I had more time to create something new lol oh well, excitement got me again! Thanks for all you do for the art community and our inspiration!

I look forward to each new video. I can't get enough of your artwork. I am always rewatching your videos! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with all of us Jess.

What a beautiful piece of art. I love the yellow that goes on both pages. it feels Whimsical and purposeful, cheery and hopeful. It feels like Joy. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us. blessings.

I love your opening pages to your sketchbooks. Your line work is so precise you’d never guess you’d have to hold your breath in concentration! Can’t wait to see more.

You fill me with joy & inspiration Jess. Thank you!

Hi Jess, as with all the others who have commented, I too TOTALLY enjoy the substance and quality of your videos along with your messages and undeniable talent. I am so grateful you choose to share on KZfaq. You are young but are also relevant and speak to ages across the board. I am a retired special ed teacher and find all of your content useful and so inspiring. Thank you. (P.S. Can you recommend a good book for fonts/typography with complete alphabets like in your video?) You're the best!

Beautiful spread! Excited to see how you fill the pages 🥰✏️

Hola Jess. Many years ago I stopped painting. Thanks to you and to the fact that you are pure inspiration, I have started painting little by little again. You not only inspire me as an artist, but also as a person. I watch each of your videos as if it were a treasure.

Hi Jess! I just love how this sketchbook spread turned out! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. You are such an inspiration 🤗😊

This video couldn't have been better timed I'm sitting here waiting for my new sketchbook to come in the mail today and was sweating on how to start it's my first "real watercolor sketchbook " I don't know what I'm going to do but now I can't wait to get started. Keep doing what you do it makes a difference. SOL

I LOVE this idea for a first page! It is super cute and a lovely intro for a sketchbook 😍

Wow! Beautiful work Jess!! Love it!!

You are such an inspiration Jess! Your first page looks so wholesome and full of flow, I also love that it is in an S composition which looks amazing in the sketch until it's done. 😍😍

Amazing first page ! I cannot Wait to see what you are doing next !

oh my gosh it is again so beautiful. just wanted to tell you that u truly inspire me. i love your positivity. THANKS for sharing!

Love the page...you're so creative

The first page of a sketchbook doesn’t bring me fear. It brings me joy I love the first page, and I love to finish the last pages and to look at my staple of finished sketchbooks in my cupboard. Sometimes I miss the times where I painted more. At the moment with my family and my little child I have no time and it makes me sad.

Everytime I see your creations I am sad that I can not draw. But at the same time your videos make me lighthearted. I really love your way of looking at the world and yourself. 💚

What a great video, I love watching the creative process. Your sketchbook spread is amazing, so fun, and I love the colors and the flow!

Amazing! Always speechless - such inspiration

As always the flow on your pages is incredible! Hypnotizing when you just look at them, I love it so much! And I love your videos always so inspiring and positive. I always have that 'fear of a blank page' not necessary with the first page only, and the pressure of perfection of every drawing I put into that book. But after watching this I already feel better and will definitely try to overcome all those fear. Thank you Jess for another great video! ♥

One word: AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!

Oh my, what a beautiful way to start a sketchbook 😍 I am going to "steal" your ideas here as I've never done anything like this before but you got me excited and I thank you for this 🙏💖

Hi jess!!! finally new year with new sketchbook idea, was waiting for this from so long. you are just beyond our imagination. thank you so much. love you💖

Goosebumps whenever your video is out, you make art look good and simple. "Practice repetition develops Muscle memory in every life skill" great insight Jess.

I love your new sketchbook videos! Haven’t watched yet but can’t wait!

So cute Jess! I think the bottom part with Mathilda, your sneakers and the other art supplies balancing on that classic yellow pencil is my favorite 😄

Beautiful!! Love the lettering!!

I absolutely love that way you start your sketchbooks. I’ve been working on developing a better sketching practice to build my confidence. You’ve helped inspire me on this journey so much. Thank you

I have a fancy new sketchbook that's been sitting in my desk for weeks and this video gave me the courage to start the first page!!! Thank you!

It gives me Norman Rockwell vibes, but of course with your beautiful style. Love it 💜

Your art is absolutely amazing and very much inspiring. I am always left in awe everytime you post.

Hi Miss Jess! I want to say I enjoy your videos. You don't try to be over the top like a lot of people but still make quality videos. Most of all I like how you explain your thought processes while you're doing your work. How you stay motivated and cultivate ideas. It's not just another watch me drawing something channel. I would be interested in seeing a video where you show and explain how you use Milanote to organize and plan your projects.

Since I'll be finishing my current sketchbook at some point, I knew this would inspire me in case I wanted to decorate the first page of my next one and it didn't disappoint! Loved this video! 🥰

as always: incredible artwork ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍 I'm already excited to see how you fill the pages with your creativity and talent
