Here's an advice on breaking into a new sketchbook: draw something stupid on the first page. Doesn't matter how fancy that sketchbook is - just draw something silly. Draw a meme, draw your favorite character in a silly costume, draw a goofy self-portrait, etc. For me it's the best way to make a new sketchbook less intimidating.

One of my favourite artists once said āA bad sketchbook is an unused oneā and I think that really helped me get more loose with mine. Iāve been flip-flopping between a digital sketchbook on my iPad and Iāve since had a few physical ones, both are a mishmash of subjects, thumbnails, concepts, studies and finished pieces. One day Iāll feel like drawing birds and itāll be full of birds and the next day Iām practicing poses for a piece of fan art I want to do. Iāve used the traditional one to test new art supplies and techniques and Iāve been forcing myself to erase less and less. Just fill it in with whatever you want and it will be a little piece of art all on its own ā wonky lines and all

Biggest advice I have is to please, please, PLEASE let go of the expectation that your sketches need to be good in your sketch book. A sketch book is designed for you to try new things out or warm yourself up, so youāre bound to make a lot of mistakes when youāre drawing in there, and you need to feel free to do so. I used to be petrified of drawing in a sketchbook (still am sometimes!) because Iāll watch sketchbook tours and think about how terrible my sketchbook looks compared to theirs. Sketchbooks arenāt meant to be the prettiest. If you obsess over that, youāll make yourself sick with anxiety and stunlock yourself from ever drawing inside of it because youāre pressuring yourself so much!

The thing about sketchbooks being time capsules of progress is so true. I have over 30 sketchbooks in storage numbered chronologically dating back from middle school. Itās good for finding patterns in terms of your strengths and weaknesses and what you need to practice and I think itās essential to my art.

The tip about not erasing is such a good one. I've been using erasable coloured pencils, which allows me a little erasing but not as clear as pencil, which means I have a 'limited amount' of erasing. I find this helps me be freer with my sketching. Also I love those long nosed dogs that popped up here and there in the video! They're adorable

as someone who used to love drawing but has been straggling with depression for years, this video was really refreshing and made me want to draw more freely. Thank you!

I also recommend putting things like stickers, sticky notes and washi tape to help boost ur creativity and does add a pop of color/ interest to ur sketches~ I like to see my sketchbook as a scrapbook lol

My perfectionism had really been getting in my way lately and this video helped me shift my perspective a bit, so thank you!!

Learning to accept my sketchbook as a space to learn and mess up and practice is still a work in progress but I've gotten so much better over the years. Something I have been doing a lot lately is having a separate smaller and cheaper sketchbook to warm up in or just to put pencil to paper when I feel like if I don't draw something immediately I will explode lol. It may not be a very good habit when thinking about the end goal of letting go completely, but I feel like it's helped me to accept that my work does not have to be visually pleasing and perfectly constructed 100% of the time

"Not thinking and just doing" is so useful because as someone who battles with depression, sometimes I catch myself ruminating over absurd things which just leads towards a kind of paralysis. But to just draw for the sake of drawing is truly liberating. When I don't know what to draw I take a stack of magazines from the coffee table and just flip to a random page and draw whatever is there, I don't make any preliminary sketches, I just draw. This helps to build confidence as well as free one up from expectations. Social media is detrimental as well and I'm so thankful to delete my insta because of how much time I've wasted on there and not surprisingly, after that, I noticed I had a new desire to draw that was not contingent on how many views or likes it received. Wonderful video and very inspiring.

on the matter of "no idea what to draw", I usually do two things: I always make notes of ideas for art when I can't or don't want to draw at the moment. Either in a dedicated notebook, an Word-document or the sketchbook itself. So when I want to draw and am out of ideas, I just flip through these idea notes and there is usually something that inspires me.
The second thing is hoarding reference pictures like a dragon ^^ I have so many pictures I cut out from calendars, magazines, I collect artworks I like and scenes that look nice. And I flip through these as well when I need inspiration. Both helps really well for coming up with ideas when I want to draw.

I still can't get over how cute the otters are š„ŗ
These are some good tips as well, I've been sketching recently, but have been afraid of messing up (which always happens), and that always demotivates me. Thanks for the tips !

This is one of those things you think you know but have to remind yourself now and again.

Great tips!! I do some of these but quite a few reminded me of things I can do as warmups.
A tip I have is just a basic ādonāt draw on the first page if itās intimidatingā just put notes, reminders, tips, stickers, etc. there. The tip of putting recipes and such in your sketchbook is so good too! I have recently been putting pieces of packaging from things I really liked. Like gold embellishments from a mystery pop art box I got!
Anything where youāre like āI want to keep this but why, thereās no reason to but I like looking at itā just throw it in your sketchbook yooooooo!! Mixed media sketchbooks are best for this as the pages are thicker and can hold onto glue better without warping/tearing easily.
Love your videos!!ā¤

I needed this so bad rn, I've been really hard on myself telling myself I need to make perfect drawings that I often psych myself out of making art for myself that aren't art assignments from school. Im going to try and take your advice so that I'm not afraid of making bad drawings anymore. Thank you. š„°

Another little tip that works for me is going to a museum, seeing art just makes you want to replicate them!!

I love your approach to what a sketchbook is 'about'.

So, I have quite a few years combined of experience using sketchbooks (Had a 10+ years gap in the middle where I haven't drawn at all because reasons). There are a bunch of rules that I give myself to reduce my levels of stress since I'm a ball of anxious :
1. I don't tear a page, no matter how ugly it looks. This way when I feel bad about my art I can get back to "that one time when it was absolutely awful" and compare it to better works. I used to tear the bad ones before but then I didn't have a reference for when I'm drawing at my worst.
2. I always keep various sizes and types of sketchbooks nearby, this way if I want to draw I don't have the excuse of "yeah but I have to find that specific one" to procrastinate. :v
3. My 90gsm sketchbooks are the "ugly ones to practice and try new things", therefore I can and will use alcohol markers and other markers that will bleed onto the next page, and I can and will draw on those dirty pages.
4. To avoid procrastination "because I'll have to find where's the next empty page", since I use spiralled sketchbooks I mark a diagonal at the corner of each page, number the pages properly, and then when I'm finished with a page I can just chop the corner off with scissors or my exacto. Also it helps with blank page since something has already been written on it so I can mess it up it's fine.

The days I want to sketch Iām in bed with pain, and the days that are āgoodā then I donāt know what to draw and end up just scrolling social media. Lately I like sketching in the bus while going to a painters studio. On my way there I have a ton of inspiration for a piece I want to create that day. I sketch them on printer paper, and glue them in my sketchbook later. Thank you so much for helping other with your tips !

I think its also very important to embrace whatever subject you want to draw or paint, every artist has different things that appeal to them, but I think there's sometimes a pressure to draw the "right things" Yes, you should obviously practice anatomy and the essentials but if you feel a calling to paint or draw a specific thing you shouldn't ignore it. I've always been drawn to more weird, surreal or dreamlike drawings and paintings and I used to be afraid of what people will think so I would kind of censor myself. You don't have to try to make people understand, You don't have to show anybody, you should first and foremost be drawing For Yourself, not others, if you draw something you think others will like or you want to show off a painting you're super proud of, by all means go for it, but you should always take time to do some painting or drawing that only you see, of whatever it is that makes your brain happy.
