sketchbook tours are highly motivating. Having an experienced artist such as yourself explain the differences in sketchbook choices is again highly informative. Appreciate your time and thought behind this video.😊😊😊
choosing a perfect sketchbook is driving me crazy! I want good paper, thick paper, but if it's too precious I won't be drawing anything because of fear of ruining it. I DIYed several ones in different sizes, but still do not feel satisfied. Too many sketchbooks feel too scattered to me, and yet only one book can't be the be-all-and-end-all multi-purpose for me. Maybe I don't like drawing at all and am just obsessed with the idea of having a sketchbook! lol sorry for this long nonsense. Your video is very lovely. glad to see your different books.
I have the exact same thing! Lots of different sketchbooks! I will feel like drawing something else and then I need a different sketchbook for that, and... now I have many unfinished sketchbooks. But I have come to like that I have a different relationship with each sketchbook. They serve different purposes for me. I discovered this when I started doing Morning Pages: I'd write down the date and then fill the page. And I sometimes switched sketchbooks, and I found out that was fine! The pages are the completed things now. So I'll maybe do a page in this sketchbook, then a page in another sketchbook the next day, and it's okay now. Maybe it's okay, you know? The creative process can be messy!
Thank you so much! This is a wonderfully detailed overview of the sketchbooks, you give a lot of helpful insight. Checking up on the costs of these books, I was pleased to find there's a good range in terms of cost and nothing was prohibitively expensive for my modest art budget. This video has helped me to dispel some of the analysis paralysis of choosing my first non-dollar store sketchbook (nothing wrong with these, truthfully I'm grateful they were there when I needed them), which helps me keep my momentum too.
@@cygnuschild9415 Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad it was of use. Indeed, dollar store sketchbooks can be fine, too, the most important thing is to draw, like you mention. But it's fun to try new sketchbooks. Thank you so much!
Enjoyed seeing your many drawings/sketches Ayal. Very inspiring. I don't sketch standing up and I really dislike wire bound books, always get caught inside my bag, get bent so pages rip out, etc. But thanks for the reviews and various options. Good stuff!
Hi Dave, thank you so much for your kind words! For me, my preferred sketchbook keeps changing as I jump from doing one thing to doing another when I get stuck on something. Nice to be able to have that choice. Thank you again for your kind words!
You have many of sketch books...and I enjoy seeing your sketches that really awesome. I am using two sizes of the book which is familiar to the black one that you have ( 5.43 mins )
Thank you! Yeah, I keep switching from sketchbook to sketchbook. It’s apparently a process I enjoy. And then I realized I could make a video about that!
Thank you so much! I used to think it was a problem that I had so many unfinished sketchbooks, but now I enjoy having a different purpose for each of them. It gives me creative freedom to do different things, and I switch a lot. Your channel is amazing by the way! Love your journalling videos!
I know this is an older video, but do you remember what the sketchbook from the 3:10 mark was? It looked to hold up to ink well and appeared to be an 8x8” possibly. Thanks!
On the cover, it says Zebra A/S and www.tstores.co which seems to be the same company. It's square and the pages are indeed 8×8 inches! It does hold ink well. If I had to guess, the pages are around 100-120 gsm. Unfortunately, they don't seem to carry this sketchbook anymore! It had product code 20080388 and batch number 205885, barcode 200200803887 but a search didn't yield anything, unfortunately.
Thank you! Your channel is amazing by the way! You are quite productive, several videos a day and I like the birthday wishes videos. And you draw well with pen, directly in black without underdrawing! Great job!

Thanks for this review. By the way, what pen do you use? with waterproof ink, as in pen & wash (watercolour) drawings?
