Starting a NEW sketchbook (Turn blank pages into end papers)

Рет қаралды 6,154

Жыл бұрын

Starting a new sketchbook can feel really exciting and also a bit scary. In this beginner friendly video, I wanted to share a fun technique I use to trick my brain into overcoming the fear of the first blank page without worrying about messing up. I share a few of my favourite colour pencil brands and show how I paint some pattern-filled endpapers. I hope that it inspires you to give it a go too. Let me know in the comments below if you try it or if you use other tips. Cheers Parul xx

This is such a great idea. I love how the pigeons and the pink set the tone for playful pages to come.

I love this idea! Going to commit a few pages in my sketch book to repeat patterns. Thank you for creating this inspirational and creative space for your viewers!

@parularora Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the video and going to give making patterns a go. They don’t have to be complicated, sometimes just repeating something again and again can be so fun.

This helped me SO much! I can’t thank you enough! I was so nervous to start in my new sketchbook that I had let it sit for months and collect dust. I had never known of end pages before and after seeing this video I felt very motivated to try it out myself. I really connected to the part when you said this was a good way to start a sketchbook with no stress. I just picked a color and started painting my flat layer and it was heavenly. I was listening to the coraline audio book at the time so I decided to draw keys as my repeating pattern. Some black, gold and white and I couldn’t be happier with my results. AND this was the first time I actually painted something. I usually gravitate towards alcohol markers and colored pencils but you inspired me to get my paint out and use them for the first time since I bought them a few years ago! Truly thank you so much! You’ve just got a new subscriber for sure!!
