If somebody is struggling with what to draw, you could draw your dreams. They are original, nobody drew it before, nobody saw it but you and when you look back at it, it'll be fun and maybe you'll remember some
Scooterchick RIGHT. I can't even explain my dreams very well, because they're so weird... but I hope someday I'll be good enough at art to draw/paint my dreams realistically so that I won't have to explain them so simply. I just had a dream with Tyler Joseph in it and there was this old lady showing me Polaroid pictures of him, but the pictures were like videos and I couldn't even believe it in my dream. Anyway they were all really weird and artistic and they didn't have sound but each one had Tyler in it somewhere. Obviously I wouldn't be able to paint that but just things weird like that 😂
It's Kenzie!! I did that one time back in 1st grade. I painted the whole canvas with a pooping lion. He just sat there in the grass and pooped. I think it was the result of watching too much animal planet before bed.
Oh my god... you might not see this but: I was in school and I told my friend to watch my backpack 🎒 while I went to the restroom during lunch. I was sitting with a group of friends and stuff, I COME BACK AND MY SKETCHBOOK I IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABle, EVERYONE LOOKING THROUGH IT LIKE JUMPING UP SND DOWN!!
I clicked on this video for ideas and for help but i'm not intent on finishing a sketchbook. Im ten so u may not want a childs advice, but really you shouldn't a sketchbook as a sketchbook, you should see it like a friend that wont judge you, because in reality, it won't. Everyone says don't compare your art to other people but watching this video, watching anyone sketch or make art, i compare myself, and i think, what do i do that makes my art less good? And in the end, it only makes me better. Really, a sketchbook does not need to be filled up. It only needs to be used for keeping memories, love, inspiration, effort, and anything else that goes into your work. And lastly before i go because this comment is getting to long, ALWAYS PRACTICE WHENEVER YOU CAN. Thx for sticking around so long! Hope this advice helped and im gonna go draw now! Good byeee 😊
+Lucina torres I think seeing a sketchbook as a "friend that won't judge you," is very very wise advice :) you sound like you have a great head on your shoulders and you're very well spoken for ten! Thank you so much for your comment and insight!
Cool Kid if you do that I would suggest working on just lose paper for a bit and practice a lot on that. Also a good thing to do is just work on your view of the sketch book. It’s called a sketch book because you can fill it with millions of sketchbooks. You just need to figure out a way to stop treating it like it can’t have anything wrong in it. Also it’s a way of seeing how you improve from the beginning of the sketch book and that’s a really good learning opportunity. Of course these are all just tips and you don’t have to use them. Just thought I would say something. Have a nice day!
Cool Kid Don't do that! Sketchbooks are for you and you only, so don't be afraid to make mistakes in your sketchbook! You can later on redraw the old drawings you don't like, and you can even look through your sketchbook for a reference in something you drew back on, and then, when you see a mistake, you can say "Ok, so I won't di that mistake again." It helps a lot to not rip out mistakes and drawings out of your sketchbook!
No way 😭😭 I..I...ii am SOO JEALOUS!!!! 😭😭😭 Like the Heck man?!?! Can you give me some tips Your are so skilled! My friends and I have been looking for someone like you!😭
My art is not that good and some people just laugh at it!...but I like drawing and I don't wanna stop You inspired me to not stop!!love you😄 OMG!!😲 Thanks for 2.2k likes ,it's awesome .I've never had that many likes😂
rainbow lps that will probably continue forever. There will always be people that don't like your art, but there will always be people who dó like it too! Please keep doing art! The best feeling is seeing yourself grow and get better
rainbow lps hey kiddo! Or someone older.. I started drawing ever since i was a kid, i didnt know i would love it. At first my drawing sucks af. Noww, I am practicing realistic drawings, took me 2-3 years to change my stuff from cartoon to anime to realistic! 😂😂 if you need to look at references, its aight. Its aight. Ive done that :3
I have this problem where i absolutely love to draw but I'm not that great. But sometimes I just get to this point I want to draw so bad. So I go to my desk. Get out all my supplies. And I just sit there. I never draw anything, I have some ideas but I don't ever believe I can do it so I just sit there and I end up doing nothing😂
Kitty Kat omg me too. But sometimes i actually get to draw and it turns out quite nice but then my energy is drained for a few months and i can't draw or even want to 😩
If you love to draw then don't ever let your skill make you discouraged. Just keep drawing, learning, and loving it. Over time you will get better, that I can promise you. You don't realize it for a while, but then you look back at a drawing from half a year ago and you see how far you've come. It's a slow process to get "good" at drawing, but it can be fun. And it sounds like you have the passion to do so. I believe in you!
Nobody is good at drawing right away! It's takes years to develop this skill, just like any other skill! If you like to draw then do it! Don't give up haha you don't have to be good at it at first
I have so much the same struggels with filling up my sketchbooks, good to hear that I'm not alone The hardest thing for me was to find a sketchbook I really like and don't start hating it after a few weeks D: If someones looking for perfect sketchbooks just try anything from canson, even a normal sketchbook takes watercolour stuff pretty well ;)
Its ok if you're not a very good drawer you'll improve and its ok if you make mistakes you'll learn from it and improve its your sketchbook and you don't have to show it to anyone its you world and your creation
its not wasting, you still are creating art, even if its random eyes or scribbles your still more productive then ppl that stare at blank pages before closing it and giving up, embrace the random stuff, its how u learn, good luck!!
How I fill up my sketch books: Allow my art friends to use them :3 EDIT: HOLLLYYYYYYY HOW DID THIS GET LIKES EDIT2: OMG THIS IS MY MOST LIKES EVER :DDDDD
None of my friends like art. They try, but they usually just draw stick figures and then say it sucks. But at least one of them can draw pretty good :D
Me too. I never got the chance to fill a sketch book. Early on i only used printer paper. Then, when i finally get my first sketch book someone stole it, the second was stolen again. I finally completed a sketch book in 2015. My current sketchbook should be done this year
I've had a lot of people asking about prints/merch for this, so I decided to share my RedBubble store even though it's not "officially" launched yet. So if you want prints or merch, you can get them here! Also let me know any of my other art you'd want to see for sale here. www.redbubble.com/people/hulloalice
HulloAlice wow thanks. Yea I have the same problem. I have 13 different sketchbooks and I have not finishes one of them yet. Like I'll be so close to the end than buy a new one
I'm one of those people who fill up a sketch book in about a month or two because I just draw a bunch of random things and they don't have to be perfect because it's just a sketch book so don't worry to much about the drawing being perfect!
Ela i relate, one tiny mistake and i rip out the page. My friends laugh at it and don't understand why i do it but it's the fact i'm a perfectionist :(
moonlight Actually No one is perfect.. You just feel like everyone is better than you... but, when you're art is on that artist's level you feel like other people are even better than you.. It just keeps going and going.. In circles..
i agree but im just saying, don't stop practicing because you feel like you're not good enough... i mean like, i remember when i was 12 i stopped practicing because i thought i was bad and could never be as good as the artists from the mangas i read, ya know? just dont stop practicing even if u think ur not good enough. thats what i meant, srry >.
I once painted a owl on a canvas for a science project in 6th grade and it was my first time painting on a canvas. So I showed my friend my painting and he took pencils and stabbed my painting yelling "Hiiiiiiyyyaaa". He got a referral and my teacher still made me show my project and everyone only complemented the eyes. I remember that my teacher kept complementing other kids projects and inspiring them to do things and I almost cried but in my head I was alreading crying because she didn't say anything about my painting.😔😩😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
The risks of art are too strong :/ But all you have to do is continue on and prove them wrong. They're either jealous, bored fools or just bullies with no consciousness of their own!
One time I was making a watercolor painting for my art class and this really annoying and stupid came over and dump my paintbrush water cup all over the my painting! I had spent more than 3 hours on it!I was in such shock that this 4 ft demon child did that, that I just sat there staring at the running paint as this kid ran off. I went to my art teacher and told her about it. The kid said that I had punched him (tbh that's the least I would have done) but my art teacher knew he was lying. The teacher helped me clean up the water and I went and put the painting in the trash. THEN the teacher came up to my and said "it wasn't that great anyway" then went back to her desk. Don't worry. Your not the only one who has to suffer demon children and poop teachers.
Thanks I always get ... stressed? Is that the right word. Because I felt like I was wasting paper and like u said EVERYTHING NEED TO BE GOOD😂😂 yer right.
So, there's a thing that really de-motivates me for art and I don't know how to overcome it: There's a guy in my class that doesn't stop saying this other girl's drawings are better than mine. He's constantly saying it and it really makes me sad, seeing as the other girl only uses the anime art style and always draws the same things, and I can't just "ignore" him. What do I do?
ᴇᴋɪʀɪɴ girl,(or guy) notice the fact that you should love yourself before anyone else's criticism. And he's probably the only basis to drag you down. There are a million reasons for you to climb. Just keep going. :)
ᴇᴋɪʀɪɴ At the end of the day, your art is for you, not for the rest, if you like it, then it's perfect! I know you said you can't just ignore him but try to! And keep practicing never give up, so when you become noticible better than your classmates you will shut him up!
Omg the one with not starting at page one is like the best thing I've ever heard, I actually finally started to fill out a sketchbook and it's amazing!!!!
When u said that stop thinking and have the attitude to make your sketchbook to be perfect... that really turned a new leaf for me :D I always wanted to show off my sketch book to other people to prove that I can draw and paint :D Thank you so much
Something I've done is made my own sketchbooks using the paper I like with loose leaf binder rings, thin chipboard as covers, and my trusty hole punch. This takes the pressure off of "ruining" pages because you can just take out the ones you don't like and replace them with fresh sheets and even rearrange the order of pages at a later date.
This is so pretty! I really love the way you use reflected light/color. I have sooo many sketchbooks, they keep getting partially full of things like possible website and book layouts, instead of actual artworks.
The thing about a sketchbook is use it when you feel it and not try to fill it as quick as you can to get into another one... also is not necessary that your sketchbook look perfect and clean because is something personal not a trophy to show people, so be as mess as you want at the end of the day is just for you Also is really good to see your devolment into art and more than that, your artstyle so don't be afraid if some draw or painting looks bad, in the future it will help you to progress 🙃 Alice I follow you since a long time ago and everything you said and do about art is so inspirational and beautiful, maybe you have no idea how much you can do for the people from the other side but is incredible meaning and important even the little things. Sending love from Argentina 💙
Took about a year to fill my sketchbook to! I would draw in it and make Make many mistakes. But I really didn't care, I grew older and tried to make it perfect now. You just made me realized it's okai to make mistakes! Ty💕
THANK YOU!! I've been stressed about drawing in my new sketchbook for AGES now and I finally now what to draw in it! Finally I can get creative and free!
I don't sketch often because i have barely any inspiration and i think my main characters are old but i don't want to create new ones and i don't have time sometimes. Which is really stupid because i don't want school related stuff in my personal sketchbook and its dumb not to draw a lot if im in art school. I suck cause im a perfectionist too so..
I'm doing something called the 100 challenge. You basically draw something everyday in a sketchbook (usually should be 100 pages, like mine) I've posted them online, getting many ideas making it easier. It was a fun summer activity, and I saw a bunch of improvement! Currently on day 90, and I've been very consistent about it. I hope you try it out!
I never used to sketch too much when I was younger, but once I wen't to an art class I just got totally inspired and motivated. I sketch anywhere between 1-13 pages a day now, and I couldn't stop if I wanted to. The way I see it is that I have huge goals that need to be fulfilled and sketching everyday is absolutely necessary for my skills and well being. XD
zhensonb She didnt mean it exactly like that. For being an artist you of course need skills but its not only that to be an artist. You need passion, determination, and time to be an artist. Otherwise without not even one of those its not that easy to paint or draw. How can you draw something without a determination or passion to draw it? Yes, its possible, but its not your best work nor did you probably even try.
hi Alice :) I love your Videos really much. you help me to believe in my self and in what I do. Not just in what I paint, also in what I write. Just wantet to say thank you dor everything. greetings from Switzerland :)
Alice thank you for giving me the supeb tip that I can make my sketch book more than sketch book n all the tips were mind changing. God bless you for doing this precious job n helping someone who are messed.
I find the part about wanting to be able to show the sketchbook to anyone so relevant. Funny thing - I never actually did show it to anyone but my girlfriend and yet I still struggle with the need for it to be perfect. I kind of solved it by getting 2 sketchbooks - one for just random stuff, doodles and actual sketches (wow, sketches in a sketchbook, how bizarre...). I just draw anything I want in this one and once I come up with an idea that I really like, I just use it for the other sketchbook - just better. In that way I can get creative any time and still have my 'perfect sketchbook'.
I fill a regular A5 sketchbook in a month, sometimes faster. I just draw a lot and very fast. Also, in my opinion, a sketchbook is not a place for finished pieces, so I don't stress about it looking messy.
It's good to see that I'm not the only one who goes through this cycle with fearing starting a sketchbook and then having 'ruined' it and needing a fresh start. Also I have big regrets about having always drawn on loose printer paper and never having sketchbooks until my twenties
THANK YOU!!! This has helped me so much !! my attitude before i started watching this video was shocking, i wanted all my art to be perfect but now i know that i can do anything!! i also don't like using paints because i know i can't go back and redo it but now from your help i'm going to use them much more often THANKS !!!
I just came across your video and would have to say that both the painting and your tips inspire me. I use to sketch here and there and it was a activity that I loved but due to perfectionism i put my illustrating on a very long hiatus. I finally brought myself the courage to sketch again and your video along with your beautiful piece gave me the push I needed to become a great artist ❤
This is so relatable ^^ I only started drawing a lot less than a month ago... I used to draw on random sheets of paper and when I did get myself a sketchbook I would rip the "wrong" drawings out and in the end the book had no pages left?? (somethning I learned is that you have to keep the ugly art because you can still keep working on it until it looks good... just don't erase it or rip it off if the first traits don't look good) but last summer I heard of "bullet journals" so I decided to make one for the upcoming school year, I learned the basics of bookbinding and made a replica of Tom Riddle's diary in (Harry Potter 2) so it became my planner to write down homework and stuff like that, one page a week, and I really liked decorating the weekly & monthly pages... it turned into a cute sketchbook ^^ Now the front pages are a normal planner which I can decorate and sketch in whenever I want, the back pages are for more elaborate sketches like portraits, and the pages in the middle of the book are for vocabulary lists (I'm learning Korean) It really does remove the pressure of making perfect art ;)
I gave my sister some of best work as a gift last year, she was taking down her decorations so she'd have more wall space. I saw the drawing that I was sooooo proud of, and imidiately thought 'I couldn't have been THAT bad!' and promptly begged her to tear it down imidiately. 😊
When I first took an official drawing class in college my drawing professor wanted us to sketch everyday whether something we imagined or saw (in media or real life). I read drawing still life or working on your fundamentals can help your art block & funny enough it's been true for me!
Dandeliøn for me, I draw around 15 times and I fill many pages. Maybe I'm just creative but here is some things I do. I find a song (mostly musicals) that make me wanna make and animatic on it even though I never do and I use my OCs (or any character) to kinda story board it and make different faces. I like to add limbs to my drawings when I'm really bored. Like maybe an extra eye, another nose, etc. it's fun and something to experiment on! DRAW YOUR FRIENDS!! And if you really can't find anything to do, just draw those people that say "draw me!" And show it to them! My friends love it when I do this with them and they get really exited.
Paws The Gamer The sketchbooks I buy are Canson Mixed Media sketchbooks and I've only finished one out of the two I have... And they have 60 pages.. Now I feel like I have to fill out my sketchbook
Some time after I started my first sketchbook, I found a video on yt with tips for sketchbooks and one of them was “Make your sketchbook messy and make as many mistakes as possible! Because the more you draw and make mistakes, the more you practice and learn!” and I immediately started to let go of that feeling of “I have to only have perfect polished pieces of art”. Exactly today I finished my second sketchbook and like a week ago, my hand started to loosen up a lot and my drawings were more sketchy and loose but it also felt liberating. I don’t know what made me draw like this, all I know is that I suddenly started to care even less and started to use more colors. I’m gonna miss my sketchbook, but I’m also very exited to start a new one! :))
Hey hullo Alice I am new to this channel and actually this is my first video of yours that I'm watching and I love the way you talk in your videos I just want to maybe suggest maybe getting a pop filter for your mic it's difficult tho listen with the hard pops in your audio again I think your channel is awesome
This video has really shown through all of my problems like this & I am so happy I'm not the only one who has ever or still does stress over these small things! Thank you so much, I loved all of these tips & your art!!😅💙💙
I got distracted when I first watched the candle and the jumpcuts only hypnotised me more XD I finally look back at the art and it goes from a blue rectangle to a full-on face in great detail?!! You are incredible and I love your candle.
I love how you zoomed in and out of your drawing when you were done. Your character is interesting, I like the white dotted markings you gave her. Also my favorite tip was about picking the right sketch book. Its really true. It should go with the persons personality.
I'd really love to be good at art and be an artist but my older sister is so good at it and has always been the arty one so i feel like it's her thing so I've never actually had a go at it and I feel like if I ever do art it will always be compared to her.
May Spring If you wanna be an artist, then be an artist. Go draw and do your thing. Try not to worry so much about labels or comparisons. Heck, maybe you can ask your sister for tips! TL;DR - Just relax and start drawing.
The thing is I can't really carry my sketchbook everywhere because I have one that's kinda a A4 size but a bit bigger. I tried to buy a smaller sketchbook (like 3 quarters of the size of an A4 page) but it felt cramped and I hated it. And usually, one day I'm super inspired and the next week or so it can't be bothered and I don't want to sketch. Rip.
I love ALL the tips for anyones sketchbook! Exept from the basics, well, drawing. You can do anything you want! Found information? Put in information! Found magical nature? Stick it in! Do anythink! Finish a sketch, dont finish a sketch. Make mistakes? Oh! Dont worry! Turn it into a masterpeice by fixing it! Like wow! Thanks for helping
I actually used to use my "sketchbooks" (I used a composition notebook) back in middle school and jr. high as scrapbooks and such. I'd print out things I liked, tape in photos, and sketch in it. Thanks for reminding me of that, it really helped me like to draw when I was younger. :D
I really liked this video, like I already learned these things through the years I've drawn, but having someone else tell you about it from their experience somehow makes it feel more solid. Especially when they don't make it seem like heavy 'you must do THIS' kind of rules. Thumbs up, totally subscribing!
Your so good! Im 10 and I wish i could draw like you but every time I try something it goes wrong, then I'm sad then I try to make it better it goes worse to then I try something else and rip that page out and it goes good but most of the time I practise and try my best that's what matters. People say I'm a good artist but I work with one style then I can't do it anymore so I try something more professional... Ive with drawing and being creative all my life but if you can, can you make a video for beginners to work there way up to somethings like this drawing??
What worked for me personally, I drew a lot from reference. At first I was ashamed of that, but I noticed that I was getting better at what I was doing and soon I dared to do some things on my own, to create my own ideas and artworks. It is not a shame to use reference. Not even to copy artworks, as long you don't show it off as yours. So, good luck, dear (:
Im just a few years older than you, and I'd say the best way to get better is practice, dont be afraid to play around with different styles and techniques, and never give up. Use referance images, draw from memory, create your own characters and draw whenever you can. I was always really creative and loved art but when I was around 10, I quit drawing because I thought I wasnt good enough. Its honestly my biggest regret. I kept tearing myself down because I wasnt as good as people who had been serious about art for 10+ years. I started drawing consistantly again last year and what's helped me improve is the things i listed before and not being afraid to completely mess up. Being young, art is a way of self expression, and just a fun thing to do. Dont stress if something doesnt turn out, you can learn from it and try again, or just decide that drawing/painting that isnt for you and move on to something more enjoyable. Its a lot easier to improve when you have fun doing it.
This is incredibly helpful! I always had problems with filling my sketchbooks and now with these tips you made me motivated and I am already excited to try everything you said. So thankful that you uploaded this video!! ❤
It's so relieving to see this video ! My current sketchbook will be filled in a much longer time but it took almost exactly one year to fill the previous one and I was feeling so bad because I see people sketching all the time and filling a sketchbook in like 3 months !! But like you said, everybody has a different approach to their sketchbooks, and I like mine to have completely filled pages with many little sketches and rsearches ^^ Anyway, it was just to say that it relieved me as for the vision I had of myself towards my sketching :) So thank you !
Hey, I just want to thank you; your video literally motivated me to finally start my first sketch book, I am still afraid about ruining it but no try no result so, thanks again !
If somebody is struggling with what to draw, you could draw your dreams. They are original, nobody drew it before, nobody saw it but you and when you look back at it, it'll be fun and maybe you'll remember some
Yeah but my dreams are just so weird... XD
Scooterchick RIGHT. I can't even explain my dreams very well, because they're so weird... but I hope someday I'll be good enough at art to draw/paint my dreams realistically so that I won't have to explain them so simply. I just had a dream with Tyler Joseph in it and there was this old lady showing me Polaroid pictures of him, but the pictures were like videos and I couldn't even believe it in my dream. Anyway they were all really weird and artistic and they didn't have sound but each one had Tyler in it somewhere. Obviously I wouldn't be able to paint that but just things weird like that 😂
That's a really good idea! I'm impressed.
You have just given me a new inspiration, thank you
It's Kenzie!! I did that one time back in 1st grade. I painted the whole canvas with a pooping lion. He just sat there in the grass and pooped. I think it was the result of watching too much animal planet before bed.
I hate when people ask to look at your sketchbook and your socially awkward.
Inside: NO, PLEASEGGEGEB
Outside: Sure..
Inside: *dieing*
That's when you just moonwalk away
Harper Bolick Me everytime at school XD
Oh my god... you might not see this but: I was in school and I told my friend to watch my backpack 🎒 while I went to the restroom during lunch. I was sitting with a group of friends and stuff, I COME BACK AND MY SKETCHBOOK I IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TABle, EVERYONE LOOKING THROUGH IT LIKE JUMPING UP SND DOWN!!
Me everyday....
That's horrifying! I put my sketchbook on my binder XD People don't find it that way, lol

+Lucina torres I think seeing a sketchbook as a "friend that won't judge you," is very very wise advice :) you sound like you have a great head on your shoulders and you're very well spoken for ten! Thank you so much for your comment and insight!
Lucina torres this is a beautiful tip for anybody! i appreciate this even though it wasn't towards me 💕
this is the purest comment I've ever read in this entire site
You write really well for a 1p year old omg
*10
Me : Draws something *looks at it * NOPE
Me: RIPS THE PAGE OUT
at the end has no pages left
Is sad😢
Cool Kid if you do that I would suggest working on just lose paper for a bit and practice a lot on that. Also a good thing to do is just work on your view of the sketch book. It’s called a sketch book because you can fill it with millions of sketchbooks. You just need to figure out a way to stop treating it like it can’t have anything wrong in it. Also it’s a way of seeing how you improve from the beginning of the sketch book and that’s a really good learning opportunity. Of course these are all just tips and you don’t have to use them. Just thought I would say something. Have a nice day!
Cool Kid OMG THAT IS ME
don't rip out your pages! save them and look at them when you're older and you can redraw them!
Cool Kid same!
Cool Kid Don't do that! Sketchbooks are for you and you only, so don't be afraid to make mistakes in your sketchbook! You can later on redraw the old drawings you don't like, and you can even look through your sketchbook for a reference in something you drew back on, and then, when you see a mistake, you can say "Ok, so I won't di that mistake again." It helps a lot to not rip out mistakes and drawings out of your sketchbook!
Not to brag or anything but......
I can draw a stickman.....
(Yall it was a joke lmao)
Roblox cringe channel mood
Lol
Oooh the best kind of man
No way 😭😭 I..I...ii am SOO JEALOUS!!!! 😭😭😭
Like the Heck man?!?! Can you give me some tips
Your are so skilled!
My friends and I have been looking for someone like you!😭
Nooooo way that's mind blowing
My art is not that good and some people just laugh at it!...but I like drawing and I don't wanna stop
You inspired me to not stop!!love you😄
OMG!!😲 Thanks for 2.2k likes ,it's awesome .I've never had that many likes😂
rainbow lps that will probably continue forever. There will always be people that don't like your art, but there will always be people who dó like it too! Please keep doing art! The best feeling is seeing yourself grow and get better
same...
If you like to make art, MAKE ART . People may not like it... but they're idiots
rainbow lps hey kiddo! Or someone older.. I started drawing ever since i was a kid, i didnt know i would love it. At first my drawing sucks af. Noww, I am practicing realistic drawings, took me 2-3 years to change my stuff from cartoon to anime to realistic! 😂😂 if you need to look at references, its aight. Its aight. Ive done that :3
you go girl!! or boy, I don't judge!!
Ways to fill a sketchbook
1. Draw in it
WAIT, is that what I've been doing wrong this whole time?lol.
MinosaurChicken Isn'tASpy Thanks for the advice I had NO idea what to do.lol
MinosaurChicken Isn'tASpy oo
thx bro
MinosaurChicken Isn'tASpy thank you that helped a lot
I have this problem where i absolutely love to draw but I'm not that great. But sometimes I just get to this point I want to draw so bad. So I go to my desk. Get out all my supplies. And I just sit there. I never draw anything, I have some ideas but I don't ever believe I can do it so I just sit there and I end up doing nothing😂
Kitty Kat omg me too. But sometimes i actually get to draw and it turns out quite nice but then my energy is drained for a few months and i can't draw or even want to 😩
Omg exactly😂
I just can't draw lmao. But I feel like if I keep going and filling up more and more eventually my drawings will suck less 😂😂
If you love to draw then don't ever let your skill make you discouraged. Just keep drawing, learning, and loving it. Over time you will get better, that I can promise you. You don't realize it for a while, but then you look back at a drawing from half a year ago and you see how far you've come. It's a slow process to get "good" at drawing, but it can be fun. And it sounds like you have the passion to do so. I believe in you!
Nobody is good at drawing right away! It's takes years to develop this skill, just like any other skill! If you like to draw then do it! Don't give up haha you don't have to be good at it at first
I have so much the same struggels with filling up my sketchbooks, good to hear that I'm not alone
The hardest thing for me was to find a sketchbook I really like and don't start hating it after a few weeks D:
If someones looking for perfect sketchbooks just try anything from canson, even a normal sketchbook takes watercolour stuff pretty well ;)
Me: I want to draw on my Sketchbook... But what?....
*--LATER--*
Me: **drawing random stuff on a couple of pages**
I'm literally wasting pages.. XD
Me too XD
IKR I draw really small so if I’m bad at drawing in a sketchbook because there’s an empty page with a tiny person in the corner XD
lolimiko
Omg me lol
Its ok if you're not a very good drawer you'll improve and its ok if you make mistakes you'll learn from it and improve its your sketchbook and you don't have to show it to anyone its you world and your creation
its not wasting, you still are creating art, even if its random eyes or scribbles your still more productive then ppl that stare at blank pages before closing it and giving up, embrace the random stuff, its how u learn, good luck!!
How I fill up my sketch books:
Allow my art friends to use them :3
EDIT: HOLLLYYYYYYY HOW DID THIS GET LIKES
EDIT2: OMG THIS IS MY MOST LIKES EVER :DDDDD
None of my friends like art. They try, but they usually just draw stick figures and then say it sucks. But at least one of them can draw pretty good :D
nice -how the heck did I get likes-
this is my most liked comment I haven't even seen the video I just commented.
Dancetale Cat MEMEMEMEMEEMEEEE

Legit Kawaii same 😂
same :D
+Nunka Sk same :D
Me too. I never got the chance to fill a sketch book. Early on i only used printer paper. Then, when i finally get my first sketch book someone stole it, the second was stolen again. I finally completed a sketch book in 2015. My current sketchbook should be done this year
Legit Kawaii I filled two and on my third and honestly I feel so accomplished XD

"It's a sketch book. Not a a perfectionist book." PURE WISDOM!
I've had a lot of people asking about prints/merch for this, so I decided to share my RedBubble store even though it's not "officially" launched yet. So if you want prints or merch, you can get them here! Also let me know any of my other art you'd want to see for sale here.
www.redbubble.com/people/hulloalice
HulloAlice wow thanks. Yea I have the same problem. I have 13 different sketchbooks and I have not finishes one of them yet. Like I'll be so close to the end than buy a new one
HulloAlice what is the scetch book from?
HulloAlice Your own custom drawing book.. Also custom made pens..
Anething? do you have an accent or something... its anything
BookLover I think she does but im bot sure I caught that too
I'm one of those people who fill up a sketch book in about a month or two because I just draw a bunch of random things and they don't have to be perfect because it's just a sketch book so don't worry to much about the drawing being perfect!
Artistic Abby woAH I DIDN'T THINK ANYONE ELSE DID THAT-
Artistic Abby yup two weeks or so for me. I gave up trying for perfection. Anything I want to go further with I scan in and go from there.
Moving on from an un-perfect drawing is hard when you're an utter perfectionist. I don't stop on a piece until it's perfect. I hate myself
Ela I generally take it as a learning experience. I revisit certain ideas once I've skilled up if they haunt me
Ela i relate, one tiny mistake and i rip out the page. My friends laugh at it and don't understand why i do it but it's the fact i'm a perfectionist :(
I wish I could paint like that...
practice makes perfect!
moonlight Actually No one is perfect.. You just feel like everyone is better than you... but, when you're art is on that artist's level you feel like other people are even better than you..
It just keeps going and going.. In circles..
yum yum give me sum same :(
i agree but im just saying, don't stop practicing because you feel like you're not good enough... i mean like, i remember when i was 12 i stopped practicing because i thought i was bad and could never be as good as the artists from the mangas i read, ya know? just dont stop practicing even if u think ur not good enough. thats what i meant, srry >.
Dont wish , because you can do it , you need to practice ..and learn from your fails :)
It's taken 10 years to fill one...I only finished this year
Katie Mcdonald thats called effort and time ♡♡
That is dedication right here I'm very proud
If you ever want to start making videos, you should TOTALLY do a sketchbook tour with that sketchbook! It would be really cool to see!
Katie Mcdonald good job and wow
Katie Mcdonald I used 3 years to finish 4...Apparently I use too much free time on art ;-;
I find it magical to see you turn a white page into a beautiful work of art.
I once painted a owl on a canvas for a science project in 6th grade and it was my first time painting on a canvas. So I showed my friend my painting and he took pencils and stabbed my painting yelling "Hiiiiiiyyyaaa". He got a referral and my teacher still made me show my project and everyone only complemented the eyes. I remember that my teacher kept complementing other kids projects and inspiring them to do things and I almost cried but in my head I was alreading crying because she didn't say anything about my painting.😔😩😢😭😭😭😭😭😭

_oh that's really sad! :'(_
_surely it would have been really good! efforts are always worth it!_
WTF. That's such a messed-up thing to do.
The risks of art are too strong :/ But all you have to do is continue on and prove them wrong. They're either jealous, bored fools or just bullies with no consciousness of their own!
One time I was making a watercolor painting for my art class and this really annoying and stupid came over and dump my paintbrush water cup all over the my painting! I had spent more than 3 hours on it!I was in such shock that this 4 ft demon child did that, that I just sat there staring at the running paint as this kid ran off. I went to my art teacher and told her about it. The kid said that I had punched him (tbh that's the least I would have done) but my art teacher knew he was lying. The teacher helped me clean up the water and I went and put the painting in the trash. THEN the teacher came up to my and said "it wasn't that great anyway" then went back to her desk. Don't worry. Your not the only one who has to suffer demon children and poop teachers.
He's not your friend.
Thanks I always get ... stressed? Is that the right word. Because I felt like I was wasting paper and like u said EVERYTHING NEED TO BE GOOD😂😂 yer right.
Just the only thing Idk what to do is what to draw in my scetch book
"Yer right Harry" -Rubeus Hagrid

So, there's a thing that really de-motivates me for art and I don't know how to overcome it: There's a guy in my class that doesn't stop saying this other girl's drawings are better than mine. He's constantly saying it and it really makes me sad, seeing as the other girl only uses the anime art style and always draws the same things, and I can't just "ignore" him.
What do I do?
ᴇᴋɪʀɪɴ girl,(or guy) notice the fact that you should love yourself before anyone else's criticism. And he's probably the only basis to drag you down. There are a million reasons for you to climb. Just keep going. :)
+Rielle Asphire Thanks! (and I'm a girl) Yes I'm pretty sure it's to make me feel sad because he bullies me to.
ᴇᴋɪʀɪɴ At the end of the day, your art is for you, not for the rest, if you like it, then it's perfect! I know you said you can't just ignore him but try to! And keep practicing never give up, so when you become noticible better than your classmates you will shut him up!
+Daniel Morales I don't think he will shut up, but like it's the holidays right now, I'm feeling more positive about my drawing. But thanks anyway!
ᴇᴋɪʀɪɴ One day life will give him what he deserve, while now, enjoy your art and make it a beautiful experience :)
I never draw in Sketchbooks
But when I do...
I draw into my school textbook🙂
Lmao same😂😂😂

I just got a sketchbook today! I mean, art isn't going to be my career but I still wsnt to enjoy filling it!
Yes definitely! Art is fun for everyone, it doesn't have to be a job, it can just be a fun hobby!
Andrea Brokate that's awesome ❤️
Omg the one with not starting at page one is like the best thing I've ever heard, I actually finally started to fill out a sketchbook and it's amazing!!!!
When u said that stop thinking and have the attitude to make your sketchbook to be perfect... that really turned a new leaf for me :D
I always wanted to show off my sketch book to other people to prove that I can draw and paint :D Thank you so much
Something I've done is made my own sketchbooks using the paper I like with loose leaf binder rings, thin chipboard as covers, and my trusty hole punch. This takes the pressure off of "ruining" pages because you can just take out the ones you don't like and replace them with fresh sheets and even rearrange the order of pages at a later date.
Here's the real question in each page can I draw memes?
Kataz HoW DaRE yOU eVen aSk ThAt? YoU dRaw dem memes!!
Kataz no. ( of course you can why would you even ask! )
sketchbooks don't have a rule that is the cool thing about it. Which means you could do whatever you want!!!
Well that's your choice not ours.
birb master YESS I've drawn a couple memes and it's soooo fun
This is so pretty! I really love the way you use reflected light/color.
I have sooo many sketchbooks, they keep getting partially full of things like possible website and book layouts, instead of actual artworks.
JZFantasy same I'm glad she made this video💕💕
The thing about a sketchbook is use it when you feel it and not try to fill it as quick as you can to get into another one... also is not necessary that your sketchbook look perfect and clean because is something personal not a trophy to show people, so be as mess as you want at the end of the day is just for you
Also is really good to see your devolment into art and more than that, your artstyle so don't be afraid if some draw or painting looks bad, in the future it will help you to progress 🙃
Alice I follow you since a long time ago and everything you said and do about art is so inspirational and beautiful, maybe you have no idea how much you can do for the people from the other side but is incredible meaning and important even the little things. Sending love from Argentina 💙
I love it when the artists put the link to they're art supplies in the description.It really saves my time.Thanks!great video
Took about a year to fill my sketchbook to! I would draw in it and make Make many mistakes. But I really didn't care, I grew older and tried to make it perfect now. You just made me realized it's okai to make mistakes! Ty💕
I really enjoyed this video it was jam packed with useful tips and I am looking forward to filling my first sketchbook 😊❤️
YAY!! Fill that sucker up haha!
Hullo Alice you truly inspire me to try different medias 💕💕💕 I love you ☺️
Aww yay! It's always fun to try something new :)
THANK YOU!! I've been stressed about drawing in my new sketchbook for AGES now and I finally now what to draw in it! Finally I can get creative and free!

how to fill a sketch book
1. Just draw a lot....
Crappie Reviews/Drawings Reviews so tru
Or just doodle your thoughts
well you're not wrong
I don't sketch often because i have barely any inspiration and i think my main characters are old but i don't want to create new ones and i don't have time sometimes. Which is really stupid because i don't want school related stuff in my personal sketchbook and its dumb not to draw a lot if im in art school. I suck cause im a perfectionist too so..
Leila E Maybe you could keep your old characters and just update their design? Just a suggestion. c:
we r twins
I'm doing something called the 100 challenge. You basically draw something everyday in a sketchbook (usually should be 100 pages, like mine) I've posted them online, getting many ideas making it easier. It was a fun summer activity, and I saw a bunch of improvement!
Currently on day 90, and I've been very consistent about it. I hope you try it out!
I was caught up watching the paint and your voice scared the crap out of me lol
Ice Spirit same I jumped
Same!!
Ice Spirit same
I never used to sketch too much when I was younger, but once I wen't to an art class I just got totally inspired and motivated. I sketch anywhere between 1-13 pages a day now, and I couldn't stop if I wanted to. The way I see it is that I have huge goals that need to be fulfilled and sketching everyday is absolutely necessary for my skills and well being. XD
An artist is someone who admires drawing ,not a person who is really good at it 😊😊😊
that is shit dum ass
Not necessarily.
zhensonb She didnt mean it exactly like that. For being an artist you of course need skills but its not only that to be an artist. You need passion, determination, and time to be an artist. Otherwise without not even one of those its not that easy to paint or draw. How can you draw something without a determination or passion to draw it? Yes, its possible, but its not your best work nor did you probably even try.
That's me.😏😃
When you wanna draw but you're too lazy to pick up a pencil
literally just released a video about this a few hours ago hahahaha
Me right now to be honest
Amelia M finger paint
That's just...
*R E L A T A B L E*
HulloAlice lol
hi Alice :)
I love your Videos really much. you help me to believe in my self and in what I do. Not just in what I paint, also in what I write. Just wantet to say thank you dor everything.
greetings from Switzerland :)
Aww I'm so glad to hear that! Keep on doing you!
Alice thank you for giving me the supeb tip that I can make my sketch book more than sketch book n all the tips were mind changing. God bless you for doing this precious job n helping someone who are messed.
Omg that is so me I draw one picture and then I'm like I need a new one
I find the part about wanting to be able to show the sketchbook to anyone so relevant. Funny thing - I never actually did show it to anyone but my girlfriend and yet I still struggle with the need for it to be perfect. I kind of solved it by getting 2 sketchbooks - one for just random stuff, doodles and actual sketches (wow, sketches in a sketchbook, how bizarre...). I just draw anything I want in this one and once I come up with an idea that I really like, I just use it for the other sketchbook - just better. In that way I can get creative any time and still have my 'perfect sketchbook'.
Aleks I’m the exact opposite. I don’t like to show my artwork to my friends because I often feel conscious and scared on how they will judge my work.
I do the same thing with 2 sketch books. My larger one is for "actual" drawings and my smaller one is for practice.
@@yssuhh me too
I used to fill my sketchbooks in less than 3 months but now it takes about 6 months just to fill one
Kada Art ikr
Wow! It took you about a year and a half to fill up one sketchbook? I have had my sketchbook for about 3 months and its almost filled up.
omg,,, how do u do that i've had my sketchbook since may and it's only halfway filled 😭
Merdog AJ um it takes me a few weeks to fill up a big sketchbook XDDD
I fill a regular A5 sketchbook in a month, sometimes faster. I just draw a lot and very fast. Also, in my opinion, a sketchbook is not a place for finished pieces, so I don't stress about it looking messy.
Merdog AJ my cousin fills up a sketch book in about a week 😂😂
+neko the skeleton Good for him! 😀😀
It's good to see that I'm not the only one who goes through this cycle with fearing starting a sketchbook and then having 'ruined' it and needing a fresh start. Also I have big regrets about having always drawn on loose printer paper and never having sketchbooks until my twenties
THANK YOU!!! This has helped me so much !! my attitude before i started watching this video was shocking, i wanted all my art to be perfect but now i know that i can do anything!! i also don't like using paints because i know i can't go back and redo it but now from your help i'm going to use them much more often THANKS !!!
wow this paint is beautiful😍
for that I suscribed to you
Let's see if you listened, what where the 7 ways to fill a sketchbook????
-Start...
NOW!----------------->
Draw in it
Beatriz Navarrete Draw dirty fanart of the founding fathers
Kitty kait yo Hamfam
I'm Trash Goddamilton
Kitty kait *me*
Draw a dot in every page
I just came across your video and would have to say that both the painting and your tips inspire me. I use to sketch here and there and it was a activity that I loved but due to perfectionism i put my illustrating on a very long hiatus. I finally brought myself the courage to sketch again and your video along with your beautiful piece gave me the push I needed to become a great artist ❤
This is so relatable ^^ I only started drawing a lot less than a month ago... I used to draw on random sheets of paper and when I did get myself a sketchbook I would rip the "wrong" drawings out and in the end the book had no pages left?? (somethning I learned is that you have to keep the ugly art because you can still keep working on it until it looks good... just don't erase it or rip it off if the first traits don't look good)
but last summer I heard of "bullet journals" so I decided to make one for the upcoming school year, I learned the basics of bookbinding and made a replica of Tom Riddle's diary in (Harry Potter 2) so it became my planner to write down homework and stuff like that, one page a week, and I really liked decorating the weekly & monthly pages... it turned into a cute sketchbook ^^
Now the front pages are a normal planner which I can decorate and sketch in whenever I want, the back pages are for more elaborate sketches like portraits, and the pages in the middle of the book are for vocabulary lists (I'm learning Korean)
It really does remove the pressure of making perfect art ;)
This honestly really helped, thank you!
And that guache painting is beautiful
I'm ten and this is my sisters UA-cam account.This inspired me to draw and paint better thankyou so much!!!
Wow ! Beautiful ❤
I gave my sister some of best work as a gift last year, she was taking down her decorations so she'd have more wall space. I saw the drawing that I was sooooo proud of, and imidiately thought 'I couldn't have been THAT bad!' and promptly begged her to tear it down imidiately. 😊
When I first took an official drawing class in college my drawing professor wanted us to sketch everyday whether something we imagined or saw (in media or real life). I read drawing still life or working on your fundamentals can help your art block & funny enough it's been true for me!
UR DRAWING IS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL
I love your drawings Alice!! I'm the total opposite of you because I draw once a day xD

HOW
I NEVER FIND IDEAS
Dandeliøn for me, I draw around 15 times and I fill many pages. Maybe I'm just creative but here is some things I do.
I find a song (mostly musicals) that make me wanna make and animatic on it even though I never do and I use my OCs (or any character) to kinda story board it and make different faces.
I like to add limbs to my drawings when I'm really bored. Like maybe an extra eye, another nose, etc. it's fun and something to experiment on!
DRAW YOUR FRIENDS!! And if you really can't find anything to do, just draw those people that say "draw me!" And show it to them! My friends love it when I do this with them and they get really exited.
Same I usually do around four drawings a day
I filled mine with in, 3 months! I loved it, Yes it was 75 so not THAT many pages! It was fun, it is a creative book, not a perfect book!!
Paws The Gamer The sketchbooks I buy are Canson Mixed Media sketchbooks and I've only finished one out of the two I have...
And they have 60 pages..
Now I feel like I have to fill out my sketchbook
Some time after I started my first sketchbook, I found a video on yt with tips for sketchbooks and one of them was “Make your sketchbook messy and make as many mistakes as possible! Because the more you draw and make mistakes, the more you practice and learn!” and I immediately started to let go of that feeling of “I have to only have perfect polished pieces of art”. Exactly today I finished my second sketchbook and like a week ago, my hand started to loosen up a lot and my drawings were more sketchy and loose but it also felt liberating. I don’t know what made me draw like this, all I know is that I suddenly started to care even less and started to use more colors. I’m gonna miss my sketchbook, but I’m also very exited to start a new one! :))
thank you so much after watching this video i feel a lot better now about filling up my skectch book and cant wait to draw/ design something new.
Hey hullo Alice I am new to this channel and actually this is my first video of yours that I'm watching and I love the way you talk in your videos I just want to maybe suggest maybe getting a pop filter for your mic it's difficult tho listen with the hard pops in your audio again I think your channel is awesome
Anyone draw on loose paper then you get finished with the sketch and it's really good and your like "dang it this should be in my sketchbook!"
This is me
Just tape it in, so it can still be in your sketchbook
Omg this video is so helpful 💗
Yay I'm so glad!
This video has really shown through all of my problems like this & I am so happy I'm not the only one who has ever or still does stress over these small things! Thank you so much, I loved all of these tips & your art!!😅💙💙
I got distracted when I first watched the candle and the jumpcuts only hypnotised me more XD
I finally look back at the art and it goes from a blue rectangle to a full-on face in great detail?!! You are incredible and I love your candle.
Hello Alice, eu sou do Brasil, e acabei nesse vídeo adorei seu desenho, realmente muito bonito... Há eu falo Português
What?
I was inspired and ready to draw, aaannndd I left my sketch book at my mom's house ;-;
I like drawing a lot of Pokémon and Disney characters for example: Stitch from Lilo & Stitch 💖
I love how you zoomed in and out of your drawing when you were done. Your character is interesting, I like the white dotted markings you gave her. Also my favorite tip was about picking the right sketch book. Its really true. It should go with the persons personality.
This was great motivation, specially when you consider yourself a perfectionist in your art and can't stand to see a mistake. Thanks!
What sketchbook do you use
I use the skin of my dead gerbils to draw on....
sorry I really felt the need to say that I'm crazy ik.
Margo Holos what the fuck
omg same!
the one I sketch in haha xd that was a lame joke I know xd
Katie G I use Moleskine
I'd really love to be good at art and be an artist but my older sister is so good at it and has always been the arty one so i feel like it's her thing so I've never actually had a go at it and I feel like if I ever do art it will always be compared to her.
May Spring If you wanna be an artist, then be an artist. Go draw and do your thing. Try not to worry so much about labels or comparisons. Heck, maybe you can ask your sister for tips!
TL;DR - Just relax and start drawing.
Same! My older brother is very good at art and is the arty one as well and my art is always compared to his.
*looks at the painting/drawing in the end*I feel so underachieved now... ;-;
your tip about working out of order reminded me of how when i was a kid, i would always draw in my sketchbook from back to front!
What a BEAUTIFUL drawing/painting. I came in for the tips but was blown away by how pretty it was! All those highlights!!😍😱
The thing is I can't really carry my sketchbook everywhere because I have one that's kinda a A4 size but a bit bigger. I tried to buy a smaller sketchbook (like 3 quarters of the size of an A4 page) but it felt cramped and I hated it. And usually, one day I'm super inspired and the next week or so it can't be bothered and I don't want to sketch. Rip.
+T Rex That's a good idea! I'll try it. Thanks!
I love ALL the tips for anyones sketchbook! Exept from the basics, well, drawing. You can do anything you want! Found information? Put in information! Found magical nature? Stick it in! Do anythink! Finish a sketch, dont finish a sketch. Make mistakes? Oh! Dont worry! Turn it into a masterpeice by fixing it! Like wow! Thanks for helping
I love how you draw if you know you're going to be talking a lot. If you were just talking I probably would've just clicked off.
wHAT I NEED IS TO STOP DRAWING IN MY SKETCHBOOK XDD
Venusly eis
I actually used to use my "sketchbooks" (I used a composition notebook) back in middle school and jr. high as scrapbooks and such. I'd print out things I liked, tape in photos, and sketch in it.
Thanks for reminding me of that, it really helped me like to draw when I was younger. :D
I really liked this video, like I already learned these things through the years I've drawn, but having someone else tell you about it from their experience somehow makes it feel more solid. Especially when they don't make it seem like heavy 'you must do THIS' kind of rules. Thumbs up, totally subscribing!
Your so good! Im 10 and I wish i could draw like you but every time I try something it goes wrong, then I'm sad then I try to make it better it goes worse to then I try something else and rip that page out and it goes good but most of the time I practise and try my best that's what matters. People say I'm a good artist but I work with one style then I can't do it anymore so I try something more professional... Ive with drawing and being creative all my life but if you can, can you make a video for beginners to work there way up to somethings like this drawing??
What worked for me personally, I drew a lot from reference. At first I was ashamed of that, but I noticed that I was getting better at what I was doing and soon I dared to do some things on my own, to create my own ideas and artworks. It is not a shame to use reference. Not even to copy artworks, as long you don't show it off as yours. So, good luck, dear (:
Im just a few years older than you, and I'd say the best way to get better is practice, dont be afraid to play around with different styles and techniques, and never give up. Use referance images, draw from memory, create your own characters and draw whenever you can. I was always really creative and loved art but when I was
around 10, I quit drawing because I thought I wasnt good enough. Its honestly my biggest regret. I kept tearing myself down because I wasnt as good as people who had been serious about art for 10+ years. I started drawing consistantly again last year and what's helped me improve is the things i listed before and not being afraid to completely mess up. Being young, art is a way of self expression, and just a fun thing to do. Dont stress if something doesnt turn out, you can learn from it and try again, or just decide that drawing/painting that isnt for you and move on to something more enjoyable. Its a lot easier to improve when you have fun doing it.
Regular Jess I've got something to say
The hard you try
The worse it'll be

Honestly, I'm weird and actually like to go back and draw in old books. It gives me encouragement to do better, and it makes me smile!😊
This is incredibly helpful! I always had problems with filling my sketchbooks and now with these tips you made me motivated and I am already excited to try everything you said. So thankful that you uploaded this video!! ❤
LET THE PICTURE FACE THE CAMERA
Pause at 5:28
It's really creepy!!
Eh... kinda
2:48
It's so relieving to see this video ! My current sketchbook will be filled in a much longer time but it took almost exactly one year to fill the previous one and I was feeling so bad because I see people sketching all the time and filling a sketchbook in like 3 months !!
But like you said, everybody has a different approach to their sketchbooks, and I like mine to have completely filled pages with many little sketches and rsearches ^^
Anyway, it was just to say that it relieved me as for the vision I had of myself towards my sketching :) So thank you !
Hey, I just want to thank you; your video literally motivated me to finally start my first sketch book, I am still afraid about ruining it but no try no result so, thanks again !
She sounds like wengie
ᗩᗰEᒪIᗩ in some parts she does😂
