- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- While I maintain that art is one of, (if not the,) best hobbies in the world. It does come with its share of despairing moments. And hey! If art has ever made you feel low, that's probably because you actually care about what you create which isn't exactly a bad thing. In this video, I give 5 tips to fight off art block and rekindle your love for the amazing creation of art.
If you think any of these steps are stupid, I encourage you to take that as your call-to-action to actually try them. (You know...for science!)

Here are some quotes my teachers have said that really stuck with me, because they can also apply to this and give other artists some motivation as well!!
"You can't make something out of nothing, but you can make everything out of something."
"You don't have to know where to start, you just need to start with what you know."
Those are so insightful. You had some great teachers! 💜

@@drawingwiffwaffles omg thank you so much for pinning me
Your teachers are good
Those are good quotes thanks
Rin: "I drew better yesterday, why is today not working?"
I can relate, this is on point 😂😭
My Lord SAMEEE
🤪😫✋
Omg same like I could just draw hands yesterday now I can’t
Like yeah tho
Ikr!! Sometimes you draw something you haaaate and sometimes you draw something that’s AMAZING its so annoying
Tip for fighting art block, an artist's worst nightmare : today I went shopping with my mom and sister for the first time in a while (Of course we were wearing a mask and social distancing.) And I saw a bunch of pretty sandals and it made me feel inspired. When got home I looked on Pinterest for an outfit that could match, and I started sketching.
Moral of the story: if you feel uninspired, get out of your house and go somewhere. It can be your backyard, a shopping center, a library, a family/friend's house, etc. And you might get inspired to draw again.
Well said Sama!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!! Love that!
I went to an animal shelter today with my grandma we were looking for our stolen puppy but while I was there I saw families of puppies it was adorable I really feel like drawings dogs and people now so yeah it's true get outdoors and look at nature it helps!
@@jinslover2091 did you find your puppy?
Oh I like that
My grandma believes I shouldn’t draw ‘fake’ things like dragons, when that’s what makes me happy. If anything like this comes up, ignore them and please yourself.
Yeha my grandpas always urging me to draw more realistically but I like my art style being more on the anime side... took me way too long to realise I should do wateva I want instead of trying to get gratification from him
@@ACE-ns1ylyeah!! I like reality but im not gOod YET. A family member told me “draw what you wanna draw and you’ll eventually find a way of doing things”.
Nah dude what you wanna draw matter it don't matter if it's a fake thing or a true thing!!!!! And the more fake but creative you are the more ppl will like your art
@@ACE-ns1yl same dude same, making anime kinda things are fun to draw yeah wanna try to draw something realistic but animè kinda things are just superb
@@ACE-ns1yl you spelled what ever wrong
This came at a perfect time, thank youuu~ 😭
She ignored you >:D
Hi sultan :3
@@erenyeager-lq7ft hi sultan! I love ur animations
Damn sultan be suffering 😫 same
Hi Sultan!
a sum up of this video:
Rin: "You are going to have some fun. Look at how much fun I have! so fUN! HAVE FUN NOW!"
OR ELSE!!!
Make's me think of "Why aren't you having fun, i specifically requested it."
this was giving me massive "HAVE FUN OR ELSE!!!" vibes and I love it
@@weaselstew3572 ayyyyy B99 stann
Kiwi Miwi your comment has more likes than Waffle's
Her: “I’ve never drawn a shark before.”
Me: THATS THE BEST SHARK SKETCH IVE EVER SEEN?!
She's forgetting the shark man she drew with that dina girl
Hahaha so true!
FRRRRR
"art is something that's gonna be a part of your life forever, and you can always come back to it" maybe it was the emotional music but I'm crying?? This was so wholesome??? Thank you, Rin.
here is what my friend Amy said to me yesterday:
“if you can draw people, draw animals. if you can’t draw animals, draw scenery. if you can draw scenery, JUST DRAW SOMETHING”
JUST DRAW SOMETHING LITERALLY WRITE THE WORD SOMETHING AND PAINT IT
I draw food and get hungry then leave the artwork halfway there -.-
@@jennifermunoz7375 LOL
"You can't know a thing that you don't know" 💜💜💜💜 thissss
nope, you most certainly can't. 🤣
That's true, @@drawingwiffwaffles! Just one thing: draw like ya!
There was a specific thing I wanted to draw but I didnt want it to look bad. When I heard you say "draw any fun thing you're thinking about like a shark with freckles. Draw it" it make me realize that I should do that. I had a specific idea but was limited because of how exactly I wanted it to look. But I decided to add whatever I was thinking and it looks so good
I have been in such a bad art block lately. Like, lowkey crying because I found creating anything miserable. This has inspired me to perhaps start drawing my stuffed animals, they’re simple shapes and most are bright, fun colors. Not something I usually draw, and it’ll be neat to mix up what supplies I use. Thank you for this video, really is a lifesaver!
Art block: *im about to end this artists whole career*
Rin: *I know your weak points, fight me*
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@drawingwiffwaffles 😅🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
why does waffles feel like a more experienced friend thats teaching you her ways in this magic we call art?
Its like tht one friend who had a pretty rough life but has a sweet heart tht want to help you from doing the same mistakes she did before.
I’m really happy with how confident you were throughout this video. I’ve noticed most of the time you typically will say “but what do I know?” Or “I have no idea what I’m talking about” despite creating art for literal years and being an amazing UA-cam channel that a massive crazy amount of people follow and love. I loved all your advice and the process you went through. 😍
When I'm trying to motivate myself to draw or write I can usually get myself motivated to start by reminding myself that archeologists don't look through blank sketchbooks, historians didn't learn about the artists that never tried, and no one can read a book that hasn't been written.
i had the same issue! feeling ashamed for using reference when i think that generations of artists, have always got their reference for somewhere for example Van Gogh or Da vinchie (sorry if i mid spelled them)
My own quote: “Did it exist before you created it? Then it’s ART!” 🥰
So cute!^^
it's a really adorable quote qwq
So if it did exist is it not art?
@@yagimasuta5345 they mean the thing you just drew, painted, made, etc. almost everything you create will have your own personal touch to it, copied or not. So it would still be set because that thing you created didn’t exist before. Understand.?
“The more you focused on that, the more you will reach your dreams.”
This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Just woke up after two days of art block, this is already inspiring me! Thank you Rin!
Art block streak les gooooo
Why is this my exact situation 😭
3 months+ for me of art block i’m so glad Rin made this!
I got art block but right now my back kills so I’m refusing to draw 😫 why don’t anyone talk about back pain with artists
HEY I love your pfp
I don't draw, I crochet, and even I get "art block" and I truly enjoy watching your videos and this actually helped me with my medium of choice (yes yarn) so thank you so much
Any artist can get art block, no matter what kind of art they practice. I've got this quote from the Ba Da Bean episode "Blocked", about York telling the main character how to deal with art block:
"Don't fight the block, just *be* the Block, dude. You know, having some leisure is part of the artist's life. It took me years to figure that out, it's a tough lesson for dedicated people like us. Bean, my friend, an empty mind can do wonders, you see, just relax." -York, 2022
I love waffle's tutorials because instead of telling me to go soul searching in a meadow they actually give me something to do. A solid plan that might get me where I want to go. Great job and I hope you keep making things like this
I have been a silent watcher for a while now. But now, I must admit that this is one encouraging (motivation to draw), relaxing and comforting art channel I have come across. Rin has a very sweet voice. The way she talks and expresses herself through hand movements is lovely. Her art style is just as lovely. I can say that you have helped me feel better through some rough days. Thank you Rin! And keep it up! ❤
ikr, i love just listening to her talk about art, creativity and just anything. It rlly helps me calm down and continue my art journey even tho i dont like the outcome. It brings me joy ❤️
Usually what i do is kind of like the “reference but abstract” where i go to Pinterest, find something i like, and try to recreate it but in my own style or add things like “ohh this needs some piercings” or “ohh this might look better with some flowers” ya know? Another thing is where i find something i cant draw well and practice on it, maybe i cant draw a specific pose right, then i take that pose and practice with it until i can get it right but if i cant, i just go back to the first tip and add my own mix. Hope this helps!
I do this all the time on Pinterest too! Its one of my escapes for Art-Block. Its such a good tip, and more people should use it! :D
@@samanthasarandis2945 mhm! It really helps with later inspiration for future drawings!
thanks a lot! ❤️✨
I'm a writer, not an artist (I just love watching art videos because seeing talented people work is really cool), but I'm feeling super inspired because so many of these can be adapted to my own craft. It's awesome and super helpful! 🙂
i'm a writer too but i just look at these drawing videos because I find it fun to draw either way
and also because rin is just awesome xd
Both writing and art are my hobbies and I hope to grow my skills with them into something I can be proud of
I think the fact that it’s obvious that you do it just for the joy is why I love your channel so much
Ah so that's the pandemic everyone's talking about: *art block*
Symptoms include:
- blank/ripped/tear stained pages
- never ending procrastination
- binging art videos
But now we have the cure... this video ✨
Haha! That's an artsy pandemic nowz
Hope rin sees this
Thank you Rin for the cure
Those symptoms are so accurate :0
Relatable. 💜
This could not have come at a more perfect time
I was just texting my friend about this and I get the notifications AND I SCREAM
I hope the neighbors don’t think ima psycho
Ah they won't as artists I bet Every single artist scream a lot certainly so that shouldn't be a uncommon thing for them 😂😂
Your art is so amazing, it should be in a disney short film! I'm not kidding your art style is so bubbly and friendly! :)
I’ve been in an a art block for MONTHS! It sucks but I’m gonna use your advice! Thank you for giving me ideas to help myself get better at my art and hopefully get out of the evil Art-Block.
Have a nice day Waffles!

another tip for art block: don''t erase too much! i understand that sometimes you feel really uninspired and unmotivated by something youve created, but sometimes its just nice to stop caring about how your art looks and just go with the flow. like waffles said it gets really fun after a while if you start from basically nothing and keep building up to something that may reignite that spark of joy that art brings. if you erase every tiny itty bitty thing, at least for me, it gets really boring and im not even having fun anymore. so, art isnt about being perfect. its about something different for each person, whether thats having fun, relaxing, expressing how you feel through art, or something else.
If you're someone who struggles with erasing too much, use a pen! Good luck erasing that. You will have to accept your mistakes and move on or work with them
Me who draws digitally: Sorry eraser tool, it’s not you, it’s me.
@@RamoArt
That's what I use the most in my sketchbook, using a pen also helps in making cleaner sketches because you have more confident linework from doing warm-ups, doodles, etc. in pen.
@@RamoArt thats great advice!
Switching to pen only helps me when I feel like I've stopped improving. It forces me to keep pushing forward.
this video really made me cry. I used to enjoy so much drawing, but with time, I started to take it to seriously at the point where I wanted to make it perfect and the way I liked at the first try. Her passion for art really got me, the fact of how much she wants to help us, means a lot to me. I'm going to start my journey again, but this time with her in mind. Thank you.
My english isn´t that good, apologies.
This actually helped me a lot! I never really thought about it but whenever I draw I always have this expectation that it has to be good, and when it looks bad I get discouraged. Just drawing for the sake of having fun and not worrying about the outcome is so freeing, and makes it feel that much better when it does actually come out nice! I've also been weirdly apprehensive about what art supplies I use in my sketchbooks, but you convinced me to try out new ones and I'm so glad I did! Thank you, your videos always cheer me up!
Another fun little idea: get a pen, marker, fineliner, whatever you can't just erase and draw some scribbles on the page and try to make something out of them, maybe you'll get an idea for a drawing and even if not - it's still a fun creativity exercise
This was so helpful! Thank you!
@@kymber1yy Glad I could help!! ♥
I like to do this with friends. Everyone draws some squiggles on a page and you trade papers. Then try to turn their squiggle into something. I've seen people do this with their kids. (I used to have my creative writing students do something similar. Each person writes one sentence and then passes it to someone who adds to it.)
@@SarahBethMac I did that with my mum! We called it Squiggles (Very creative I know) and it was my favourite game as a kid :D
*Draw something that doesn’t really look like anything, but could look like everything- dRaW tHaT*
I’m only two minutes in, but I already can’t stop laughing 😂
Same😂
I got a big art block because of school. Being pressured to produce art made me resent it in a way i guess? Ever since i started watching your videos again i draw a lot more and it makes me so happy. I used to watch your videos when i was younger so watching them again brings me back to the day where i could carelessly draw and be happy. 💕 thank you for your hard work.
thanks waffles :) I’ve been struggling to draw for two years even though I’ve been drawing all my life. I’ve been rediscovering your content, and all ur little videos are very fun, encouraging, and inspiring in their simplicity. love u, babe.
"And any fine-toothed comb!" I am now fighting off art block by painting with a comb!
If it’s fun carry on cause it’s clearly getting you somewhere 🤣✨
@@The.Alystrator.X yeah your clearly going somewhere-
SMART!
I DID THIS IN ART CLASS!!! we did abstract paintings, and there were options to use combs, brushes, sponges, stamps, literally anything that comes to mind. If you want to try that, i recommend it! it helped me get out of my art block and its so fun.
@@piperann9973 That's so fun!!
Omg i was literally just not being able to draw- thank you
You'll get through it, Alliyah! 💜 Stick with it. You'll be amazed by yourself.
Agreed @@drawingwiffwaffles
@Kiersten Freeman i will 🥰
@Kiersten Freeman Ill check it out
@Kiersten Freeman I loved the way you draw clothes and how you drew hawks!! I look forward to seeing future videos
One of my favorite things to do is like take a piece of artwork and then make a story with that artwork and like many different ideas will come from the story they kind of just support each other
As a writer (and a artist whenever ive got nothing better to do) I can tell you I do most the stuff in this video
mostly when I have writers block half way through my chapters of the books I write on wattpad
When you were talking about having unrealistic/ higher expectations causing art block, I felt that in my soul 😭💖 def. why I've been feeling stuck lately after some time not creating
There's nothing that brings me more joy than a Waffles upload. (But also as someone with art block right now, this spoke to me. Pulling out my big supplies now!)
“That doesn’t make you a bad artist. You can’t know a thing you don’t know.”
Woah… It’s like a whole new world has been opened up to me. I can’t even describe how much this really changed my perspective. I’ve been drawing for years, why has this only now been made aware to myself? I think I have had this idea that i have to be good at everything and know how to do everything. It’s the perfectionist in me, y’know? But actually having it be said out loud that, that doesn’t have to be the case, is really inspiring.
I used to watch u when I was younger around 8-9 u were actually my fav UA-camr and my inspiration. I don’t know why I stopped but at night ur channels came up to my mind I decided to check it out and the first vid was this it actually really helped me out in my current art block and I had really fun!!
me: trying to draw like drawing wiff waffles
me: just can't it's terrible
me: art block
rin: how to crush an art block
me: perfect! but how does she draw bodies😭??
Start with a wide-topped rectangle for the torso, add a square for the head, and go from there. That's how she do. Just let the pencil go where it will for the arms, unless you have a specific idea for a pose, but maybe since you're doing it as a first try, copy one of her poses.
@@BigGrabowski Thank you soo much
@@BigGrabowski thank you I'll try that
I'm convinced your an all-knowing being, I've been having the worst art block, and as soon as I grabbed my sketchbook to attempt to draw something you uploaded this. I love you. Your a God send.
Thank you so much for this, I’ve just started art school and don’t get me wrong I LOVE it, but I’ve been struggling with drawing for myself. This is perfect and I’m actually excited to get out my sketchbook later 💕💕
I'm a beginner artist and this has given me so much inspiration. I've seen a couple of your videos. You aren't like any other artist youtuber. You make things very understandable and easy. I also feel more inspired to draw, unlike when I watch other artists. Finally someone who I can watch draw without getting unmotivated! Might not seem like a lot, but you're someone worth subscribing to. :)
I stopped watching your videos for a while, then I started saying random things. . . And one stuck with me "I like waffles" And it took me a while to realize what it was sticking to me for. Your videos. Ever since I started watching your videos again, I started feeling more creative, I wanted to thank you for that. 💕
I'm glad the wonderful tasty pastry brought you back and helped you recapture your love for art. Funny how things work out. hehe 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles I stopped watching ur vids for years but then u popped up in my recommendations and I recognised u and ur content is still as amazing as ever-
@@drawingwiffwaffles Rin: And I hope you have a delicious evening full of waffles."
Me: "Mom, can I make waffles for supper tonight?"
I am so happy that you got to see this, I love how you support us down in the comments, you're a great person! Keep the good vibes around rin
I've been going through a little bit of art block myself, not that I didn't want to draw, but I simply didn't have that burning feeling to grab my sketchbook.
This video reminded me to draw for myself because it should bring me joy. My sketchbook can be as ugly as I want it to be, no one has to see it!
this completely and 100% nailed it and everything that I have been struggling to figure out
You are the most amazing person in the world 💗

I'm really looking forward to seeing more video's like this
Thank you Rin 🙏❤️

Your my idol. Your welcome
@Kiersten Freeman I just subscribed hope your channel grows, never give up! ALWAYS the first videos are bad. I'm wishing you the best of luck and when the comments will be on I will always comment something to get you motivated lol 😜 😊 Also the profile of your is stunning meantime I have my cat as mine but I'm planning to draw myself and set it as my profile ☺️
Your art is amazing 😍
Who else wants a blub fish plush?
random but me-
I used to watch you literally all the time like 2 years ago.. I guess i just drifted from any sort of drawing vids and many other channels, and i was bored rn so i came to UA-cam, saw you on my recommended. Watched your video. And became UNBORED quickly. I just got straight to drawing and watched all your recent vids. Two years and i still need you😅
This was pretty helpful, I had art block for 6 months and that’s really bad. I started my career but I’ve strayed away from what makes me happy which is my art. Thanks a bunch.
Waffles is somehow bob Ross, and Marie mondo at the same time. “The joy of drawing” “hopefully this sparked joy”
kondo*
It's interesting, I just got ahold of an art supply the other day that I had been wanting to try out for quite a while. I hadn't really drawn in a bit, but just starting and drawing a frog (I really enjoy drawing frogs) was enough to keep me drawing for the next few days. Progressively it became more and more something I began to enjoy again.
I been watching this video several times when I feel a bit down and low and it keeps helping, so much positive energy, giggles and natural - thank you so much Rin!!!
I'm very late to this but about 2 years ago this video inspired me to draw an entire page of snakes that I still love to this day so thanks Rin
Literally a few days ago I was trying to draw sharks! You actually helped give me some insight on them! I will totally come back and refer to this video when I get art block! 😄✏️
This makes me want to draw in the middle of the night😐😐
Same, best time for me to draw tbh :D
Ikr?
Then it's working lol
Do it! Get a flashlight and make fort to turn into your drawing area! Or just turn on the light! 😅
@@koyaTHEEkoala you know what, I might do that tonight, thank you 😆
I love redrawing old things I love or just want to or has nostalgia to. It helps without block for me alot
currently 1 minute and 1 second into the video and i’m already feeling an overwhelming urge to create something?? It’s INSANE how much you inspire me! Thank you for your videos, they always save me when i’m down in the dumps, creatively and/or mentally
Who NEEDS a tutorial on how to draw different body types, faces, hair, SHOES ( cause I suck at drawing shoes) hair accessories, stuff we can add to make our character more unique and detailed..
I might not need it but many people are out there wanting these
I do!
Maybe we can try to comment this in the next video? It's more likely to be seen by her, so if you see my comment maybe you can like it so that she can see it
She has all of these already
the timing of this video-
*is just so perfect* ✨
exactly sage
hope its helpful! 💜
I love how you save the day by not giving up!!! Don’t give up!!! I can’t give up!!!! It’s fun and it’s not so serious... thank you... I needed this!!!!
thank you for caring enough to make this video, waffles! you are by far the best art UA-cam out there! ilysm!
Art block: no one can defeat me 🤺😌

Not only did I LOVE your suggestions I love how fun you made this. Thank you!❤
This video made me subscribe just now. Feel like you're a friend who understands everything that comes along with artist block. Thanks. I needed that.

Hehe @@drawingwiffwaffles
Yup
Just imagine you're talking to her face to face and she's doing all those weird hand gestures I-😂
Lmao 😂😂
I was having a really bad day, Back spasms along with wrist pain, and I have been in a 2 month art block, then this video pops up. Though I can't exactly move my wrist a whole lot, drawing the fun shapes actually managed to ease my mind and wrist, so I thank you for that. Art really can be therapeutic sometimes.
Those rants I love. You try and say so much in so little time. And I love it so much.
Not me taking notes from this video 🧑🦯
I haven't drawn in AGGEESSS because of school, so now thats its over......you're here to save my life
Rin, You are by faaaaar the best Art UA-camr ever!!!!You give good tips, your entertaining, helpful, funny... Love ya
Came here to try and help cure my artist block and two mins in I’m all like “Oh!!! oh!! That looks fun!!! Where’s my sketch book?!” Glad I stuck around to see the rest though because it’s now 2am and in all reality I should really be sleeping🤣but this looks super fun and definitely helpful!
I HAVE HAD SOME BAAD ART BLOCK FOR A WHILE NOW * cries *
I really think this will help now and in the future :D thanks!!
This is honestly perfect timing. I’ve been suffering from art block since the 24th of may because I had broken up with my boyfriend of 5 years. I thought he was the one for me but I noticed some red flags and as I thought about it they had always been there. But thanks to your video I was able to draw something ^^
Thank you so Mich for this!!!! I love your style and your cheerfulness it really brings me joy just to watch you I feel like I've been struggling for a while and I'm so exited to try your tips thank yooooou!
I have watched dozens of art block videos throughout the years and this is the only one that has actually helped. Thank you so much
I love your intro with the waffle, how did you make it?
My brother made it for me using Blender and my logo! 💜
@@drawingwiffwaffles Man, I wish my brothers were into stuff like that. Guess I'll have to make my own when the time comes.😂 They already make frames for me so... I don't know if I could bring myself to ask for more...😂
the pink lead pencil means the world to me, i need it D:
Thank you so much, ive been strugling with a big art block and this video gives me so much comfort i love you
This is so... cute and joyful. These videos usually don't work for me, sometimes they just tell you to practice your way out feeling bad about your art, which can work for some people but just frustrates me. You sounded so happy making this I just had to watch it all. I think the last tip was exactly what I needed to hear, but I'll be trying the others as well! Thank you!
I would highly recommend Wreck this Journal for art block or just in general. Really allows you to let go and just be creative. That’s how I got over a lot of my art fears.
THIS LITRALLY CAME WHEN I HAD ART BLOCK THANK YOU SO MUCH WAFFLES
I'm sorry to hear that. But I hope this helps!
@@drawingwiffwaffles i had art block for a few weeks and i wasn't doing that great but now i feel motivated! thanks ! :D
Love you @@drawingwiffwaffles
I haven't been drawing for a really long time because i didn't have time, and i was sad, so when i finally came back to drawing, i found that i had some really art block. But this definitely helped!
I started drawing a thing I've never drawn, then the real thing awhile ago, because of you Waffles, and I freaking love doing that. It's so fun and it not only makes the first thing look SUPER derpy, it also makes it feel like you've improved SO MUCH in such a short amount of time haha. Technically you have, but really you just went from doodling in imaginary thing, then drafting an actual image from another image, if that makes sense. Either way
HOW DID YOU KNOW I NEED THIS VIDEO?? WHO ELSE?? Just about to watch it tysm tysmmmm!!! 😌😌 2:37 this is so true- whenever I scribble something it looks ugly but if I look closely I can sometimes actually see some beauty in it!
I cant explain in words how much I love Waffles art 💜💜
The fact that this was in my recommendations and also The fact that I was having art block big time Thank you so much!
When I first saw her videos I immediately watched more,because she was teaching us and making it fun to watch,thank you.
I just got a new sketchbook and this is so incredibly helpful omg ty I was stuck in art block for like a week
0:17 just the way the hearts are still bright and colorful
Recently I couldn't draw anything just because I felt so trapped under my own pressure, but I've been watching some of your videos that I hadn't seen and it helped me so much. And then you realised this one which is exactly on why I wasn't drawing and that ALSO helped me a lot ahah. Just wanted to say that you're really a great artist I love your style and how much you manage to make everyone want to draw things they never would have believed they were capable of doing. Each video just feels me with motivation like "wow I could try that, it might look good !". Thank you, that's really what I wanted to say here ahah, because you truly help me with art and motivation and all!! Thanks Riiiin!
I think these are lovely tips for any kind of artist! I’m a writer who does art on the side as a hobby and I really felt validated by your no pressure approach. Thank you so much!
Goshh I just love looking at your thumbnails they’re so colourful :> ✨💕 A thing that’s been helping me lately is switching the art supplies i use often! One day it’ll be coloured pencils or markers, then a few days later I’ll get out my gouache paints (they’re fun I have two sketchbooks, one to keep all pretty and finished in coloured pencil, and my recent one to just do anything in, it’s been such a help to have a random doodle place to loosen up a lil ✨💕
Those are some great tips! *-* Thanks for sharing! :))
