    I wonder if it would be fun to do a “slam” style challenge with some of them... maybe even use them to make a “slam series” where you give yourself a timeline (a week, a day, a month) to fill the book and do a sketchbook tour when you’ve filled each one of the sketchbooks. Another idea could be to organize them by theme, like a backgrounds book, a portraits book, an animal book, a gouache book, etc.
    This year i started a portraits only sketchbook (because i want to work on expression and avoiding the “same face syndrome”. So thats part of my 2020 art goal..

    I love finishing sketchbooks and it makes me very sad to see them unfinished and lonely. The only issue with this is that I have to keep myself from buying cool new sketchbooks, because I know it will take me a long time to get to starting them.

      These have accumulated over the last several years! But they can definitely be pretty expensive. I'd recommend grabbing one of the big artist loft sketchbooks from Michael's and using a coupon on it. You get a lot of paper for a decent price, and the colours are really fun. It's the same kind as my giant pink one in this video.

      doodlecircus I was watching a jeweler talk about the value of jewelry once and basically he said “what’s the use of having it if you don’t use it? If you are waiting for special occasions you will usually be disappointed, so make your own occasions and enjoy what you have”. It stuck with me and I think that’s how you have to view a precious sketchbook. It will be even more special when it’s filled with things you created. Even if stuff doesn’t turn out perfect you will learn for next time.

I'm just starting to play with watercolor, so small and cheap work for now. 2 - spiral sketchbooks I bought 40 years ago, in high school, that I never used but still had in storage. 2 - 4x6 hardcovers, another stockpile move and 1 - 3x5 hardcover that I will carry with me when my current pocket sketchbook is full.

    The most relateable thing lol
    I also have bad habit of getting bored of a sketchbook and then buy a new one

    thanks for sharing! i love seeing others' stashes and what their plans are for the books.
    I'm a lifelong journaler so I have a box of composition notebooks (the 50 cents ones) and a handful of travelers notebook blanks I always need--no empty sketchbooks! I only have one other journal with a pretty, meaningful-to-me cover that I just look at. The other ones I gifted away. I'm using the big Artist Loft sketchbook too--so affordable and inviting.

    My goal this year is to finish up my current sketchbook! It's got not one, but two years' worth of inktobers in it now... and only ten pages left, I'd really like to finish it off within the next month or so, so I can use the really pretty one my boyfriend got me forever ago

    I bought a bunch of them a few years ago, but never drew in them. One I've started filling recently and I've done quite a lot of drawings and paintings in it this month. When I bought the sketch books, I was more attracted to doing paintings on canvas board, canvas pad and watercolour paper than drawing in the sketch book. I bought a few new ones recently, too, because I want to practice watercolour paintings and doing some tutorials on here, and tutorials in some drawing books that I have - a lot of the drawings I have done up until now have been without that input (though I have followed some of the drawing books that I have, just not as much as I'd like to.) I think it's rather too easy to accumulate sketch books like it is to accumulate paint sets. However, I don't think that you need to get rid of them, just make a conscious effort to draw in them.

    Hey gurl, you're not alone. I have a pile of books, some I even deliberately purchased so I could use them, and they aren't being used...but in my defense, they were on sale and I had let some really good wine breathe before I started shopping.
    So we could blame my lack of intent, or we could blame it on the alcohol.
    The ones I am currently using are slow going, because I am taking serious care about what I am doing in them. Plus, I can only fill like 1 page every day or two that I can actually finish a piece.
    I work too much...but NYC in May won't pay for itself. Plus, I enjoy spending my money on clothes, or D&D stuff.

    I have a bunch, I've been getting better at not buying more as ive found I'm kind of picky lol I can't own two of the same sketchbook, this is probably because I name my sketchbooks (I've named one matilda for fun) and idk I just can't draw, it feels like a betrayal xD I don't like dotted or gray paper and sketchbooks with not many pages scare me cuz I know a majority of the sketchbook will be shitty sketches .
    I do have a stack of large sketchbooks (a3 and a4) that I haven't touched in awhile. They just seem really intimidating...

    you guys are so lucky to have so many empty sketchbooks- i literally have none. i buy a sketchbook every time i fill the one I have been using (which takes a few weeks to a month) and i wish i didn't have to go to the store to buy a new one so often- my parents won't let me buy a lot, haha.
    sometimes i end up doodling on notebook paper- better yet, homework, when i dont have a sketchbook :,)

    I have about 5 unfinished/untouched sketchbooks. 1 is too small and the paper is horrible quality.. its like really bad parchment paper I think? My biggest sketchbook I just keep forgetting about and its like 6 years old. The others are from family as gifts I just haven't gotten around to

    13:41 it's convenient that the page was too overexposed to even see the list of video ideas lol
    As I'm spring cleaning while watching this video, I'm tempted to just unearth my old sketchbooks from my bookshelves. Lately I've been receiving sketchbooks as gifts, and I've made it a point to not draw in them unless one of my current ones have been filled out.
    (80-90% of it, at least.)

    I have so many empty sketchbooks because I get so excited about finding sketchbooks on sale and stuff and i just hoard them, but i decided to use it as a motivation to live (sounds odd maybe but when ur depressed ya gotta find something) basically i tell myself i have to keep living until they’re all totally full which will take me forever becayse I have around 30 and i recently got into book binding so the collection is growing and people get me them as gifts a lot etc. etc. idk if this is weird but it kinda helps me

Its one of my goals this year to use them all. I just always feel bad to ruin them. Im already working towards that goal tho so good luck to anyone else who's trying to do that too😊👍

But some of them are unfinished from years ago, and I have a few that are watercolor paper, but I mostly sketch now and rarely paint so I don't think I'll get to them any time soon.. I'd like to get some more unique sketchbooks in the future! Some decorated ones, or really personalise them

    A lot of the unused paper/sketchbooks I have aren't really sketchbooks. Like I have a bunch of watercolor paper, but I use them as individual sheets and not a collection. Then, I have a black paper one and a tan toned one which I use as craft paper almost. I also have two pads of bristol paper. I only have 2 sketchbooks I use as sketchbooks that are unfilled. One I just started and the other is just for Inktober. But I do feel a little called out because I had planned on ordering more illo sketchbooks tomorrow. 😂
