My best friend bought me a beautiful journal many years ago. I never wrote in it because I was always afraid if I didn’t draw or write something “perfect” I would “ruin” it. After watching this video it gave me the encouragement to start using it for my art sketchbook. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. ♥️

My husband bought me paper and pencils for Christmas because you inspired me to draw…I’m too scared to start in case I ruin the good paper! Silly me, I’ll start today ❤

I am 3.5 months in to watercolor and drawing … 3 weeks into keeping an illustrated journal. At the moment, I like to draw and paint late afternoon/early evening. I take photos on my phone during the day and pick some that resonate with me for my journal at the end of the day. Although I am doing both drawing from ref photos and some real life, as I am learning, I find the reference photos easiest. Often, after a ref drawing, if whatever is available I will then do a quick drawing “from life”. I think that is helping me be a better observer of proportion/perspective. I have kept a “snippets of my life” blog for 17 years and love photography … but I am enjoying the illustrated journal. It is enjoyable in a different way. I could write a short novel about my thoughts. I am doing both, blog less often but I had slowed that down before starting the journal. I also have a folder of some of my own landscape photos, plus others I’ve come across waiting to be drawn or painted. I guess I will see, but so far I have not had artist’s block!

Love it! Danny- have you ever thought about a “30 draw challenge? “ for the viewer? Many people can’t decide if there are too many options- maybe develop a simple list of 30 “to draw” ideas- challenge viewers to fill up the first 30 pages of a sketchbook with these 30 “things” - people love contests - love these videos!

I go to the store and buy vegetables and fruit. I draw those. Bags of little peppers can keep you entertained for days. I like to do watercolor and the simple shapes are great to learn on. Potatoes and apples are hard though.

I also use ideas from tv or radio. The other day I heard a programme about orcas. So I drew orcas. I also use the idea Jan Johannson (jazz) said: sometimes it has to be ugly. He didn't just compose nice easy listening music but also music that tears your mind into 1000 pieces 😊

And try to draw everything I can see no matter to my eye if it's good or not just will do whatever it takes to try and get back to what I once was. Thank you for ideas 💡 and the motivation to just do it.

Thank you for the encouragement! As you said, with so many objects, people and animals around us I would have thought it would not be difficult to find a subject to draw. But somedays are harder than others. I just have to keep reminding myself that the sketchbook is for ME and no one else unless I choose to share. I am trying to fit a bit of drawing in my daily routine and so far it is working well. Thanks again for a great talk.

Thank you so much Danny! My biggest hurdle seems to be deciding what to draw and secondly , i tend to prioritise everything else before art so i end up being too tired! Drawing and watercolour bring me so much joy, so i have to redress that balance today! Your sketchbooks are so inspiring. Wishing all good things for you and yours..... from N.Ireland.
