Please make more happy videos like this!! One could almost feel trough the display how much fun you had. Maybe you could put all your art supplies in one box and blind pick a few of them for another sketchbook drawing session?
It’s really important every once in a while to do personal drawings and sketches where you don’t have to make them finished, they just be as messy as you want 💖
You have no idea how much watching your videos with the kids helps us all relax and how much fun we have remaking your art. Thank you for the lovely videos.
Oh, I can really relate to what you said: The thought that one bad side ruins the sketch-book. And I know it’s stupid, and I try to get over it, but… So this was a very refreshing video. Happy, vibrant, beautiful pictures! Very inspiring! And also nice to hear that someone as talented as you can struggle with the same hangups as me. 😊
I have the same issue..if one drawing on one side of my sketchbook doesn't turn out right,I feel like I've ruined the whole sketchbook..I'm trying to work through that,so now when I feel like I've "messed up" I stop and look at it and think "how can I fix that?"..or I just let it go and move on..I'm trying to reaffirm to myself that's what sketchbooks are for,to "mess up" sometimes..another thing I did was get a bigger sketchbook to put the more polished pieces in,and a smaller one for ideas and that seems to help me..but yeah,I think all artists have that issue IMO 😊
These spreads were so great! I was sketching along while watching this, but actually trying to do the opposite, finish off some “finished” pieces that I’ve been too intimidated to touch up for fear of messing them up. I won’t lie, I was SLIGHTLY jealous of your free multi-media sketching, they looked so wonderfully colourful and fun!!!!! ❤️
I really liked your fox piece. A free day of just playing with your supples is always a good release of tension and stress. I have to say the pumpkin piece was my favorite!
I finally started a sketchbook after years of doing only finished pieces...its sooooo rewarding. I have learned more in the past 5 months than in the past 3 years. I just try to freely draw (which doesnt work every time tbh) whatever comes to mind. Honestly if you truly want to do a subject it will show in the result.
I love the pumpkin one! It's clearly a Fall theme, but it feels so tropical at the same time. Like, I want to sip iced pumpkin coffee underneath a palm tree at the beach or something. 😆
Oh my, that evoked such a wonderfully rich and relaxing image in my mind. Thank you for that. * sips iced pumpkin latte under fantasy palm tree of my own *
This is one of my favourite videos of yours! So creative and colourful and free! I struggle with sketchbook work too, so I love seeing what other people do!
I love how much fun you had with this. The art is fantastic and I could tell that you were really enjoying yourself. I hope that you continue to find ways to relieve some of your stress. This was refreshing and inspiring to watch. Thank you for sharing and for allowing yourself to just play. I absolutely love this! Thank you, again!
As always, amazing illustrations! Got me inspired to draw in my own sketchbook! I have like 10 sketchbooks where I didnt draw at all, because I'm also afraid to "ruin" it plus I usually don't really know what to draw. But I think it's finally time to fight with my fears x)
Personally had to get myself back into a sketchbook in 2016 and I've been keeping one ever since! I have found the approach of treating it as a art journal has really helped. Art journals are like sketchbook meets scrapbook lol. It has been freeing and I fill it up with all kinds of things now. My last sketchbook got really fat from it all. I also learned I prefer smaller sketchbooks! Sometimes size matters. But I recommend for anyone to check out art journaling or other ways to enjoy it. I've seen some people keep 2 sketchbooks, one for nice drawings and other for junk which might work for some of you too!
i literally have the same feeling about sketchbooks. often times ill go back over pages i don’t like and cover them with stickers or random papers or loose drawings i did like so i don’t feel embarrassed going back through the book later. and same about sketching also. i only seem to be able to sketch when im making a finished piece and never just to sketch on its own
I'm so glad you found a way to love sketching! I've just found my way back to it too after looking through some old high school sketches for a video 😆 i realized I hadn't drawn in a pressure-free way in years 😳 so I'm working on that now and it's been wonderful!
I love this video. I'm the kind of artist who prefers working in sketchbooks. I like sketchbooks because it's easier to organize my drawings in one place, and I can look back and flip through it like a timeline. I kept one sketchbook from around June 2019 - January 2021! After that, I bought 3 new ones 😅😁😆
Aaaah this video was exactly what I needed, in am the same, a perfectionist and am often scared to start something I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing in my sketchbooks so will use scrap paper or something if I want to do more rough sketch or doodle, which is silly really. Part way through your video I paused and got a sketchbook and started doing some random sketches just with a black pen inspired be your art. I think I will keep this sketchbook for doing rough doodle type sketches and ideas. Love the 3 pages you did, great video. Also the subscription box looked good, I’ve never got any subscription boxes as I worry I may just end up with things I won’t use, but I might give it a go.
Great video..I got alot of inspiration from watching this..I was wanting to do some fall themed drawings but didn't know where to start..the one with the pumpkins gave me a few ideas,I'm going to go over those ideas in my "casual" sketchbook..I have the same issue,I think that one bad side ruins the whole sketchbook..so something that helped me deal with that is I have a smaller "casual" sketchbook and then a bigger one I use for my more polished pieces 😊
I've been coloring my centaur girl in my big sketchbook with my ohuhus! At least, when I wasn't mesmerized watching you color. Thanks for inspiring me to cover more of my sketchbook pages from here on out! Hopefully I'll make less 4" doodles to color...
Nice illustrations! I don’t think there’s any right or wrong way to fill a sketchbook. I sometimes have perfectionist tendencies and it can help me learn to be okay with mistakes and pages that aren’t perfect. Sketchbooks can be good for trying out different types of media. They can be eclectic and can be something you share or keep to yourself, or share some pages but not all. I love your kitty drawings. Some of my cat sketches don’t come out so well.
I finally just found what works for me in sketchbooks, and art supply subscriptions really help motivate and inspire me. The limited art supplies, swatching, and trying new things really makes me feel like I can do more experimenting so I don't feel as perfectionist as before. Also, cats and foxes are the best (plus birds, for me haha).
I love your mind and how you feel about cats Try not to be hard on yourself. You are you. I really think you're pretty, talEnted and sweet. K? Cause your art inspires many, that's how good ya are.
I'm also scared of ruining a sketchbook, mostly because I'm a real beginner and still in that fase that nothing turns out anywhere close to what I had imagined, purely because I still lack the skills... A tip that may sound a little bit silly but worked wonders for me is to "ruin" some random pages in the sketchbook on purpose right before really starting with it, it takes so much pressure off, it's liberating!
I used to struggle with this also in my sketchbooks thinking it needed to be a perfect piece of art. The I realized what if I made my best piece but it was stuck in a sketchbook and I couldn't frame it or sell it. That changed my perspective and made it easier to be looser.
Bruynzeel is from the Netherlands, and you pronounce it 'brauinzeel', with the braun part pronounced in the a similar way to the German word for brown. Don't worry if you're not perfect at it: you'll instantly endear yourself to a Dutch person if you even try. Also, Bruynzeel has amazing coloured pencils: literally their specialty, and the quality of their medium price range is sort of on par with Prismacolor. Their Colour Design series of pencils is also pretty good, but has a bit of a limited colour range. I would highly recommend Bruynzeel to fans of coloured pencils, though. My Colour Design pencils are STILL lasting me at age 28, and I bought them back in high school or so. They can also be bought individually if you run out of one.
i always use the first side in my sketchbook for complete ruin it :D Just testing pencils or colors, make a mess, dont worry at all. And after this, you dont worry about anything in it because it will only get better :D
I wish upcrate did like scrawlrbox and sold some boxes after the month too, I really love these supplies but getting them all on their own would be so expensive
Thank you for another wonderful video my lovely. You inspire me so much. I definitely need to learn not to try and aim for perfection on every page of my sketchbook and just let loose and have fun. I definitely want to try this and will look into subscribing to Upcrate. Thank you again. Love and hugs xxx
Love all the art! Looks very relaxing! 🖤 Have you ever thought about a declutering of artsupplies video? I bet you have collected so much over the years there are some you want to let go 😂
You won’t ruin your sketchbooks. There’s no such thing as perfection. Sketches and drawings/ experimentations in art are just a valid as big piece that took hours, days or months. The only thing that matters is to lose yourself in the creative experience and have fun.
I loved this video, and the spreads you made. But what is the super efficient way to fill sketchbook spreads? Maybe I missed it, but I'd love to learn that lesson.
I feel like this, I have some nicer sketchbooks and paper (I am paper hoarder) but I solved it getting a cheaper sketchbook, It felt left precious and I wasn't as intimidated by using a fancy sketchbook,
Aaaah ive got to try this. My sketchbook pages look so bad, its just a bunch of faces and some weird 'oh yeah i suck with anatomy' sketches- i want it to look cohesive so bad👁️👄👁️
I don't understan why the hurry to fill a sketchbook... Others youtubers gives you idean on how to fill pages... But... For me a sketchbook is to practice or do your art, not a competition to see how long does it takes you to complete all the pages....

0:17 I love this Beautyful black cat stickers! 😍
Did anyone else get the ad for Christmas shopping during this vid ?!? The trees here are still green and flowers are blooming yet !!
I don't know which piece is my favourite, I loved them all, you can tell how freeing they all made you feel.
The happy golden/yellow fox is so cute!😍
I am so happy you had fun!!!! They came out wonderful!!! I need the pumpkin and rainbow cat spread in my life!!!!!!!
As always, amazing illustrations! Got me inspired to draw in my own sketchbook! I have like 10 sketchbooks where I didnt draw at all, because I'm also afraid to "ruin" it plus I usually don't really know what to draw. But I think it's finally time to fight with my fears x)
I’m so happy for you to find a way to get past the perfectionist sketchbook block.
I love how you make me feel understood because I also love smelling and I feel overly excited over new art supplies!

I really liked these pieces & I agree with you that the style of the artbox features artist is very cool & inspiring.

You seem so happy with your artwork and it makes me happy also
The fox spread is my favorite
Awww the Magical Lotus Fox sticker is so beautiful
Nice I respect
Would love a print of the pumpkins, love the style ✨
I really like the one with the pumpkins. If possible with the sketch book, you should turn it into a print!

Those spreads are absolutely stunning! ♥️🐱🦊🍄
I have a hard time knowing when to stop a drawing as well 😅 I love the foxes! So cute and fun!
Beautiful sketches ! My sketchbook is my dumping place, but love to use it daily
I love the pumpkin spread
Great video..I got alot of inspiration from watching this..I was wanting to do some fall themed drawings but didn't know where to start..the one with the pumpkins gave me a few ideas,I'm going to go over those ideas in my "casual" sketchbook..I have the same issue,I think that one bad side ruins the whole sketchbook..so something that helped me deal with that is I have a smaller "casual" sketchbook and then a bigger one I use for my more polished pieces 😊

I just loved all the pieces so much that I cant even choose one as my favorite! I love your art style ♥
I am so in love with your psychedelic art style and the mushrooms that you draw😍🍄 inspires me so much
You're my comfort channel
A beautiful video~~ thank you ! I was drawing a small nature landscape in my sketchbook with colored pencils while watching you))

I love your kitty drawings. Some of my cat sketches don’t come out so well.
These spreads were so beautiful!
love the messy colourful foxes 😀 my sketchbooks are usually a mess so no fear of wrecking them when they are just a jumble of ideas and supplies
Oooooh, I absolutely love upcrate. It's the one and only box I have ever subscribed to and I genuinely think it's amazing.
Also I had the exact opposite experience than you with the big marker. Mine was dry as a bone, haha.
So lovely! But where is the Cat Intermission? I miss seeing the kitties 😍
I love your spreads! 😊 I'm struggling also with my sketchbook, I have to learn just to playing around.
I finally just found what works for me in sketchbooks, and art supply subscriptions really help motivate and inspire me.

YES! Bruynzeel! Their stuff has been with me through childhood. Very nice
I still use bruynzeel pencils, I love them 😀
Looked so fun! I love the pumpkins!
Hi, I really love your artstyle, and these 3 sketch pages was a delight to watch 💛💛💛 so pretty and. Magical. Thanks for sharing your inspirering art 😄
I love this. You should really do random sketch book spreads more often. I love the second and third ones the best.💕
Love these! Pumpkins and friend is my favorite. What a fun box! Have a great week.
Love the spreads 😍😍 would love to try acrylic markers one day
So beautiful and inspiring
I love all of the spreads, really love the colours and the way you filled the pages.

Oooh now I know what to do with some of the sketchbooks I never finished using 😂
I wish upcrate did like scrawlrbox and sold some boxes after the month too, I really love these supplies but getting them all on their own would be so expensive

Loved this video girl🌈
This three pieces look amazing 😍 i wish i could do this too. But I've the same problem like you. I'm not the sketch person. Unfortunately 😅🤣
Another relaxing and entertaining Video, thank you ❤
