Ah, the fear of ruining that shiny new sketchbook you just bought by drawing in it! I have some tips on how to tackle those feelings, actually start the sketchbook, don't get discouraged by the bad art, and enjoy the process! Let's do this together! #sketchbook
✧ chapters ✧
0:00 Intro, sketchbook info
0:11 Actually start on the first page
0:30 Do some swatches
0:55 Make it fit your needs
1:55 Write yourself a reminder
2:33 Draw what you’re currently obsessed with
3:55 Keep the ugly drawings
4:09 Use random street view
5:46 Take a break
6:00 Do whatever you want
7:30 Draw your comfort stuff
7:56 Draw the stuff you hate

another tip to hide marker bleeds: draw on a separate piece of paper and then glue that into your sketchbook - keeps your page count the same and still hides the blobs :)

this was actually super helpful, particularly the stuff about the first page. I hate just jumping in with a sketchbut never know what to put there, so I leave it blank then get frustrated when i'm finishing my sketchook that the only blank page is the first one. This motiveated me to do a simple but cute design on the first page of my current book that's going to give me peace of mind as I get to the end of it

I acually don’t like doing the first page, because, idk. But I actually did it this time! Can’t wait for a new sketchbook! Another tip for the bleeding! If you dont want to skip a spread! If its only a little bleeding: use sticky notesss! Its so helpfull! U can also draw on it! Personally i love this! Btw thanks for the tips!❤

i don't normally comment on videos but omg i love your video so much !! your drawings were so comforting to watch and the voiceover was so fun and entertaining that i watched through the whole thing without skipping a single part (which i haven't done in ages cause my attention span is practically non-existent). i haven't owned a sketchbook in a long time - i finished my last one about a year ago and simply never got a new one because i just felt so burnt out with studies, work and moving countries. i do still draw, but mainly on random scraps of paper (receipts from stores are my new favourite thing ahaha). that's not the point. your video was just so,, comforting. it genuinely felt like no matter how i use a sketchbook, it's just for me, only i will see it. i'm going to go buy a new sketchbook right now. i haven't felt this way in ages, but something about your drawings and your voice,, you're so inspirational.

All I wanted was to create a sketchbook and make drawings like you did, but I stopped for a while. When I came back, I drew like a one-year-old. I just wanted it to be perfect from the first try, and now I don't draw anymore. This video inspired me to make a sketchbook, but I don't know how to do the shading or put different colors to make it look good waiting for your response 💗💗
