You have a freaky talent for taking amazing ideas, going way too ambitious where I question whether it will turn out and then you make it better than I ever could have imagined, bravo!
Drawing on the cover isn’t something I’ve ever done... lately I’ve been putting stickers on it, which is also something I’ve never done! Basically... I like things plain.
Kasey Golden same I never really did do much for the cover of my sketchbook If things are too flashy or complicated I tend to dislike them and prefer more simple styles
I decorate only the first page of my sketch book with a title covered mostly with flowers. It's very minimalistic..y? but yeah, I just like how that looks.
Oooh a customizable cover! Why don't more sketchbooks have these? Like dang, this is so cool! The art turned out so beautiful! But that was definitely an ordeal. So, so worth it, though!
Its so nice to see the process that isn't planned and changes as you go! I can definately relate to changing the idea completely and not have things work out, haha. The cover turned out really nice in the end!
A trick I learned is that if you put a couple of layers of masking tape (or similar) on the back of the ruler, this raises it slightly off the paper and ink/paint/marker doesn't then bleed under it.
In my experience thus far, toned paper is much more effective when using higher quality colored pencils (I use prisma), conté pastel pencils, etc. than with markers. Also oil pastels work well. But my preference is for the colored pencils. Just my input.
I just watched this and was thinking the same thing. Colored pencils or maybe pastel pencils might have worked better. With pastel pencils, I usually found the ones I used were much harder and less messy than stick pastels, so even though I seem to recall you don't like pastels, the pencil version might work for you. Don't forget the workable fixative to keep things from smudging and a final coat of fixative.
DrawingWiffWaffles Out of the two, I really like the look of toned grey paper because it has a nice cool tone to it and it looks really nice with my pencil art. If you’re looking into buying one, I have a sketchbook tour posted and you can skip through it to see what art on one looks like. Toned tan paper looks really nice too and it makes me want to draw a lot of happy things because of it’s warm tone.
I got a strathmore toned grey sketchbook for the first time after just drawing on white and I had so much inspiration when I first got it. The highlight makes all the difference in the world! The colours pop really well on the grey too!
If you use toned paper again, try using a white colored pencil. It can add softer highlights without being super opaque and bold compared to the rest of the drawing. Love your illustration and how it came out 💕
I'm pretty sure you'll never read this, but you are one of my biggest inspirations. I love your chanel and your art and it was so fun seeing you evolve as a youtuber and artist. I'm in love with your sketchbook videos, they always inspire me to fill out mine and continue drawing even if I hate my art. Wish you the best Waffles🏵
I really like this picture! Toned paper is so cool! But it definitely takes getting used to. Art Ala Carte has a character design video series where she uses toned paper. I think the thing that really helps her get good contrast is using copics as a base and then coloured pencils overtop. :)
I love starting a new sketchbook! But currently I only have 2 pages left of one, and 10 in another one I need to finish before I can move on to a new one :'D I love how this piece turned out. I like the white outlines!
I feel like this is how I work with each piece is finding ways to counteract the mistakes- it takes a lot of gut to keep going and not throw away and start over. Great Job!!
I like the way this came out, and I am making sketchbooks complete by hand and decorating all the covers for a craft fair to sell. I think I will use this theme for a design of one. Depending on how it goes maybe I'll do more. Excellent job!
Wow, I love the idea that you can actually customize your sketchbooks cover now! And I absolutely LOVE the picture you decided to draw on the cover. I think it turned out very nice. Can't wait to see what you draw in this sketchbook!
I absolutely love this! The green tones just (IMO) soften the colors and make the picture look like it has texture. I love it and I'm not all the way thru the post.
This is me every single time I have to do something important. Usually when I mess it up I get frustrated and feel like a failor, and only finish it because it needs to be done, but your optimism and will to keep on trying, are inspiring. Also, it turned out pretty good, I really like it. The fact that you managed to fix it/ make it work out is the best part. I hope you have a nice day, I'll go do my next sketchbook's cover :)
I am excited to see the drawings that go into this sketch book! Sketch books are pretty personal I know as well being an artist as well I have to really love a drawing to show it to anyone lol but I appreciate that you share yours with us and that you just draw what you want and what you love even if it doesn't turn out the way you wanted that's something I need to learn myself.
The fact that you kept pushing through every mistake and made it look amazing is very inspiring! I would of gotten pissed and thrown it out the window. Amazing work!
I've been painting for so many years, and in/with so many different mediums that I keep forgetting what comes natural now. Like the incident with the ruler. I would never have done that mistake today, and it's so obvious that it's a bad idea. But then I remember that I made that mistake some odd years ago, and it makes me appreciate how far I've come, and all the mistakes I've made and learned from, that now resides in the back of my mind. Great vid!
It hurt to watch you go through what all artist's go through. The fight with your supplies, but you at least had something that looks good at the end, so bravo and well done.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who starts out with a great idea and then flounders a bit, but I usually give up whereas you pulled through and turned it into something beautiful! I have so many sketch books that i haven't even started in because i don't want to ruin them with my sketches OTL Love watching you work 😊
I clicked on this video cause I could tell this was Mucha inspired art, even in the tiny thumbnail on my phone. He’s one of my favorite artists, and your version looks great even though it was a bit of a struggle to get there. Recently found your channel (I subscribed!) and you make me want to draw and be more artistic again, your videos are so pleasant to watch!
You are incredible at drawing! Every time I want her a video of yours I get so much inspiration you are like my drawing idol. I hope I can grow to be as good a drawer as you. I draw every day because of you. Thank you 😊
You are awesome!!! you are my inspiration for most of my artwork. I love your art style and you are my idle for art. I hope you know how good of an artist you are.
A alternative to white gel pens and correction fluids is white ink. I use it with a brush. Maybe you want to try it out some time? But even with your own critcs I really love the outcome. The differend line weigths in white are adding a lovely charm to it.
Awesome! I love how you decorate your covers of your sketchbooks and you're bullet notebooks! It's so fun and cute! I think I might try it on one of mine some time! 😁
I can't. Stop. Watching your videos! Your personality is so cute and fresh and I love listening and watching you make art. I'm always so inspired to draw along with you but it rarely really works out 😅
The colours make it look like the inside of a green house. I recently designed my black cover sketch book by using a white pen and making wavey shapes and to give a little bit of definition I added aome gold dotted around it
Beautiful cover! Colored pencil might have worked better on the grey paper. I've done quite a few drawings on tone paper like that and they've come out quite nice. Still it's a beautiful cover. One of my favorite artists is Mucha and I think you did him proud.
It’s been and done. Now all you can do is two things, either critique it endlessly or step back and look at it as a whole, seeing the flaws but not letting them define that price of art. Don’t worry about it, it’s a beautiful piece.
I actually really enjoy how this ended up coming out in the end. It's really pretty, and I would love to do something like this on one of my sketchbooks at some point.
I recommend gelly roll white pens, I bought mine off Amazon and they were really cheap, and they work amazingly well. You won't have overflow or scratchy problems which is nice.
I love your videos! During nights like tonight when I have severe anxiety I watch your videos after I take my meds and they help calm me and help me sleep❤
I love you and your channel you always get me out of my art blocks and got me back into drawing you’re so creative it helps other people think creatively too so I think I speak for everyone who subscribes to you thanks and you’re awesome!
You are a really good artist and your are a great role model (think that's the word) because even when u do an amazing peace of art work you showed us the mistakes u made and showed that even the best drawers make mistakes and not many youtube artist do that ❤ carry on drawing
I really adore how you can still be enthusiastic about your piece even though it seems to frustrate you! Smallest inconveniences make me give up and abandon the whole thing lmao
AAAAWWWWWWWW! Your doggy is so cute! And to me the picture of you and the background is soo pretty! (I never would have thought to make the dress white to) 😋😊
AHHHH YESSSSSSSSS AN UPLOAD! Of course your art looks amazing as ALWAYS. ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you have a good day and I absolutely love your art. I love that sketch book by the way, and I’m ecstatic for the next sketch book tour. Your dog is adorable by the way. 😀🎁🎊❤️
I like the presentation and ownership this gives to the sketchbook. It says this is mine and I'm proud of it. Positive when working or sharing. I wonder if it's a good way to attach a page like that without making a whole sketchbook, but that's also a good alternative.
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I'm kinda yelling at my screen. If you wanted to make this really bright and contrasty, you should have used colored pencils! The markers are faded because that's just their nature. ^^
Watching your process always inspires me. Even when you struggle, you keep trekking on. I love it!! One day I'm gonna have that same determination when I draw lol ❤️❤️
its so funny how you think there are so many mistakes yet this has always been one of my favorite pieces from you. I always come back and watch this video
I don't normally design a cover for my sketchbooks. I almost did with my current sketchbook but I had troubles with it so I decided to drop it. Sadly, my cover on my sketchbook is falling apart from traveling back and forth taking it to work. I do love your cover. I love Art Nouveau style.
You have a freaky talent for taking amazing ideas, going way too ambitious where I question whether it will turn out and then you make it better than I ever could have imagined, bravo!
That is the kindest, slightly confusing, most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me. Hahaha thank you! 💜💜💜
Ar Acech I agree I was all "Don't ! " and "Agh" and "Pheww".
Poop cakes 😆
Ar Acech you weird lol just kidding your being kind lol
Comepletly agree!
Drawing on the cover isn’t something I’ve ever done... lately I’ve been putting stickers on it, which is also something I’ve never done!
Basically... I like things plain.
Kasey Golden same I never really did do much for the cover of my sketchbook
If things are too flashy or complicated I tend to dislike them and prefer more simple styles
Kasey Golden my sketch book just has Good Mythical Morning Stickers 😂
Kasey Golden my sketch book only has stamps from the sassy squad😀😂
Kasey Golden fancy seeing you here
I decorate only the first page of my sketch book with a title covered mostly with flowers. It's very minimalistic..y?
but yeah, I just like how that looks.
Oooh a customizable cover! Why don't more sketchbooks have these? Like dang, this is so cool!
The art turned out so beautiful! But that was definitely an ordeal. So, so worth it, though!
Ik i love it!!! We got these in my art class and they are great
I like your channel it’s cool I like your watercolor stuff
No mistakes, just happy accidents.
Eyyy rob boss lol
@@jedrocero it bob ross
Bob Ross!!!!! And happy little trees
Beat the devil out of it
Rip bob😢😭
Its so nice to see the process that isn't planned and changes as you go! I can definately relate to changing the idea completely and not have things work out, haha. The cover turned out really nice in the end!
Thanks so much! Art is definitely all about the process!
Can I just say, i love how you draw animals! That dog on that sketchbook is everything!
Thank you so much! That's something I've been practicing!
Waffles- well your excellent at drawing animals! Especially dogs!😋
i feel your pain where the ruler made it bleed. It happens to me more than I'd like to admit
Asiboe Ikr? Rulers don't like me- at all.
Yeah it happens to me a lot
A trick I learned is that if you put a couple of layers of masking tape (or similar) on the back of the ruler, this raises it slightly off the paper and ink/paint/marker doesn't then bleed under it.
p.s. The cover looks great Waffles! I like the way you think on your feet and overcome the problems :)
I always mistake the placing of the ruler and the marker so it's always like a centimeter away from where its supposed to be 😩
In my experience thus far, toned paper is much more effective when using higher quality colored pencils (I use prisma), conté pastel pencils, etc. than with markers. Also oil pastels work well. But my preference is for the colored pencils. Just my input.
I just watched this and was thinking the same thing. Colored pencils or maybe pastel pencils might have worked better. With pastel pencils, I usually found the ones I used were much harder and less messy than stick pastels, so even though I seem to recall you don't like pastels, the pencil version might work for you. Don't forget the workable fixative to keep things from smudging and a final coat of fixative.
That blue toned paper looks so nice! I just started getting into toned gray and tan paper and I love it so much now!
Which is your favorite toned paper?
DrawingWiffWaffles Out of the two, I really like the look of toned grey paper because it has a nice cool tone to it and it looks really nice with my pencil art.

You are fearless!! I would be so scared to do this but it looks great!
Looks great, Waffles! I can't wait to see what you put in here!
If you use toned paper again, try using a white colored pencil. It can add softer highlights without being super opaque and bold compared to the rest of the drawing. Love your illustration and how it came out 💕
Katherine Elizabeth That's a great suggestion!
Perontivine aw thank you so much
It turned out great! the white dress changed the GAAME
#gamechanger!
I'm pretty sure you'll never read this, but you are one of my biggest inspirations. I love your chanel and your art and it was so fun seeing you evolve as a youtuber and artist. I'm in love with your sketchbook videos, they always inspire me to fill out mine and continue drawing even if I hate my art. Wish you the best Waffles🏵
Das a cool emoji
I really like this picture! Toned paper is so cool! But it definitely takes getting used to. Art Ala Carte has a character design video series where she uses toned paper. I think the thing that really helps her get good contrast is using copics as a base and then coloured pencils overtop. :)
I'll have to try that!
Emily Veronica I was going to suggest that as well. A great way to get contrast on toned paper. 😊
The final product turned out so pretty! Outstanding work as always, Rin! (Your art never fails to amaze me ❤️)
Oh yeah that picture that you have in your head but you just can t put it on the paper XP
Bff dolls same dude
I find your voice so soothing and now i feel tired.
Extra Koda same!
I’m so happy that you did Alphonse Mucha, he’s one of my favorite artists
Such a cool design, I love it! Also, your drew your doggy so cute. >u< I've never customized a sketchbook cover but I've always wanted to. ^u^
You should get on that! It was a really fun experiment!
Hoi!!
u guys need to do a colab or something!!! (waffles and learn2drawmanga) Your bolth AMAZING!!!
OMS HIIIII!! i really love your videos!
(sorry about the late reply :"
I ain't a fan of urs
Kinda reminds me of Giselle from enchanted
daydream galaxy I think so too
Giselle's design was heavily influenced by Mucha, so that makes a lot of sense.
I HAVE THE SAME SKETCHBOOK AND I THOUGHT THE BLUE GREY THING WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THE PAPER OR SOMETHING
haha! i would have thought that too
Ella Shield ahh I did a drawing on it still but I wish I did a better one now 😂
I love starting a new sketchbook! But currently I only have 2 pages left of one, and 10 in another one I need to finish before I can move on to a new one :'D I love how this piece turned out. I like the white outlines!

I absolutely love this! The green tones just (IMO) soften the colors and make the picture look like it has texture. I love it and I'm not all the way thru the post.
The improvement you made in just a year(if you look back to your videos last year) is substantial!!

It's good to see you struggle. We all struggle, not every piece comes out perfect and beautiful. Sometimes the art fights us every step of the way
I honestly loooved how the leaves blended in with the background!
I've been painting for so many years, and in/with so many different mediums that I keep forgetting what comes natural now. Like the incident with the ruler. I would never have done that mistake today, and it's so obvious that it's a bad idea.

I love the way you speak! Your energy and love for art is just 😍👌🏻
It hurt to watch you go through what all artist's go through. The fight with your supplies, but you at least had something that looks good at the end, so bravo and well done.
Love the final result! If I look only at the 'end product' I would never imagine that you struggled so much with it.
Wow! You give me so much inspiration ! I'm always excited when I see a new video from your channel! I also love going through your old videos too!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who starts out with a great idea and then flounders a bit, but I usually give up whereas you pulled through and turned it into something beautiful! I have so many sketch books that i haven't even started in because i don't want to ruin them with my sketches OTL
Love watching you work 😊
As long as the dog looks good, its perfect
I LOVE how this turned out!!!!
I LOVE your videos and your energy! Whenever I need inspiration, I watch your videos! Keep up the great work!

This looks wonderful~ I love how down to earth you are and even if being all over the place you create something amazing at the end :) Love it!
I'm glad my art teachers always told me to plan the contrast in the thumbnail sketch. 😂😂😂☝☝☝☝
makes it go by faster 😂 and avoid going back and forth 😂😂😂
I just bought this sketchbook and am decorating the cover now! I loooove it!
I’m really excited for this video! I’m about to start my new sketchbook and just the idea of a custom cover makes me excited!
I think this looks amazing!!! I love the white outline it makes the picture look so nice!
You are awesome!!! you are my inspiration for most of my artwork. I love your art style and you are my idle for art. I hope you know how good of an artist you are.
I stumbled upon your channel today, and I've immediately started watching everything. Your drawings are so great!!!!

I've never thought of using white out on toned paper! I'm going to need to check that out soon!
This is beautiful! And the "mistakes" make it even more unique and pretty. I really really liked. You're really talented! 😊
I can't. Stop. Watching your videos! Your personality is so cute and fresh and I love listening and watching you make art. I'm always so inspired to draw along with you but it rarely really works out 😅
I love how it turned out
The colours make it look like the inside of a green house. I recently designed my black cover sketch book by using a white pen and making wavey shapes and to give a little bit of definition I added aome gold dotted around it
Great video! I love it when art youtubers really show the effort it took to
make the illustration in the video. Also I love the cover art! :)
Beautiful cover! Colored pencil might have worked better on the grey paper. I've done quite a few drawings on tone paper like that and they've come out quite nice. Still it's a beautiful cover. One of my favorite artists is Mucha and I think you did him proud.
It's so satisfying to watch you sketch.
I wish I could draw like that.
It’s been and done. Now all you can do is two things, either critique it endlessly or step back and look at it as a whole, seeing the flaws but not letting them define that price of art. Don’t worry about it, it’s a beautiful piece.
Wow your drawing is great! I love using that first kind of white gel pen.
I actually really enjoy how this ended up coming out in the end. It's really pretty, and I would love to do something like this on one of my sketchbooks at some point.
Ordered this sketchbook on amazon and I'm super excited, so I'm revisiting this video! Rock on, Waffles!
It was my first time drawing a cover and beacause of your ideas, i made it plus i'm very proud of myself! Tysm for your help!
Sooo excited to see how this sketchbook goes for you! I think the cover looks great, even if you feel like you struggled with it a little. 💜
I really like how it turned out!!
I recommend gelly roll white pens, I bought mine off Amazon and they were really cheap, and they work amazingly well. You won't have overflow or scratchy problems which is nice.
I am in love with that sketchbook cover!
I’m just in love with ur style, ur one of my greatest inspirations for art!
I love your videos! During nights like tonight when I have severe anxiety I watch your videos after I take my meds and they help calm me and help me sleep❤
I love you and your channel you always get me out of my art blocks and got me back into drawing you’re so creative it helps other people think creatively too so I think I speak for everyone who subscribes to you thanks and you’re awesome!
Love this! I have three prints of Alphonse Mucha's work hanging in my room.
OMG YOUR COVER TURNED OUT AMAZING!!! can we just take a moment to appreciate your dog? IT LOOKS SO FRIGGIN CUTE!!
Whenever I start a new page on my sketchbook it always feels intimidating let alone the front cover
#artist_struggles
I make my own sketchbooks since I learned bookbinding
I've been binge watching your latest videos. You've improved so much in the last year... Whoa 😍
I’m so excited for your new sketchbook! It looks great so far, I never could’ve pulled off a cover of my own.
I am pretty sure you are going fill this book in no time! You are an amazing artist 😀😀😀
You are a really good artist and your are a great role model (think that's the word) because even when u do an amazing peace of art work you showed us the mistakes u made and showed that even the best drawers make mistakes and not many youtube artist do that ❤ carry on drawing
I really adore how you can still be enthusiastic about your piece even though it seems to frustrate you! Smallest inconveniences make me give up and abandon the whole thing lmao
AAAAWWWWWWWW! Your doggy is so cute! And to me the picture of you and the background is soo pretty! (I never would have thought to make the dress white to) 😋😊
Aww ye
I ordered this sketch book thanks to this video arriving today can’t wait to try it out!
AHHHH YESSSSSSSSS AN UPLOAD!
Of course your art looks amazing as ALWAYS. ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you have a good day and I absolutely love your art. I love that sketch book by the way, and I’m ecstatic for the next sketch book tour. Your dog is adorable by the way. 😀🎁🎊❤️
I always use that whiteout pen for my art and when i saw you use it !!! WOW!!! I love your drawings so much
I like the presentation and ownership this gives to the sketchbook. It says this is mine and I'm proud of it. Positive when working or sharing. I wonder if it's a good way to attach a page like that without making a whole sketchbook, but that's also a good alternative.
Yes as always, you, the videos and the artwork, are Ahaamayyyyzing!!
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but I'm kinda yelling at my screen. If you wanted to make this really bright and contrasty, you should have used colored pencils! The markers are faded because that's just their nature. ^^
I can't wait to see this when it's done! I am in love with your arts lol very good artist
*me and my doggie* wow the way u said that was adorable
Wow! The drawing really turned out great! I love it!
Love this! Please do more chill sketchbook sketching vids, there are so nice!
Hey Waffles! Can't wait to see how you fill you sketch book! 😊
Watching your process always inspires me. Even when you struggle, you keep trekking on. I love it!! One day I'm gonna have that same determination when I draw lol ❤️❤️
Absolutely gorgeous regardless of any of the mistakes. Besides, those added character and made the drawing even better :D
Hey Rin! I just got that very same sketchbook the other day, so I'm taking some inspiration from you to design my cover.
its so funny how you think there are so many mistakes yet this has always been one of my favorite pieces from you. I always come back and watch this video
I don't normally design a cover for my sketchbooks. I almost did with my current sketchbook but I had troubles with it so I decided to drop it. Sadly, my cover on my sketchbook is falling apart from traveling back and forth taking it to work. I do love your cover. I love Art Nouveau style.
I like to call my dog puppers, I think it fits her
Hehe cute. How do you feel about pupperoni?
