I made a bunch of stickers that say “Mistakes are only a beauty in making.” Every time I make a horrible mistake of a drawing ✍️ I happily slap the sticker on and flip to the next page and start again.

What I do when I mess up on a page is just work with it, maybe make it part of something a bit more abstract than what I had originally planned,but never cover it up. You did the work, frame it, no matter how bad it looks you can always make it look better.
@WindyIris
6 жыл бұрын
I like that thought, I try to make things work too - when the paper tears however its a bit more tricky and perhaps time to cover it up:)
My favourite of your tips is to cut around it. 😃 Depending on what the mistake is, you could repeat it in several parts of the page, making it look distressed, or abstract. Another idea... is to just redraw the messed up bits, maybe using a different medium in that section. (Only doable in some cases). That would make a different texture, and maybe add interest to the drawing. In the case of the messed up eye, the cover up piece, could have been an eye patch. Lots of things you can do, and you gave good ideas. 😃
So creative! But GIRL! How many markers do you have!? 👏😂

Wow Thankyou!! My New Years resolution is to not rip out pages of books. And I have this huge empty sketchbook and I love deep thought out or aesthetic drawings so it takes time and there is like SO MANY pages . PS I have two 😂 thanks to you I have been inspired to make a mood journal/ book. When I am bored ( a lot ) I am going to take out the book and either paint, collage, draw and really do any form of art that expresses my feelings . And I know that is going to be messy and abstract so I won't want to cover it up. But I am clumsy and have A LOT of washi tape and it might get in paper and rip or I could spill something so ya.Also whenever I have a school project requiring art I ALWAYS mess up so now I know what to do. Anyways thanks for inspiration ( the collage thing inspired me , I dont know why I get ideas at the weirdest times but thanks anyways) and also thanks for ideas on how to get rid of mistakes

Loved this!!! I had only thought of going over in a heavier medium (like acrylic over pencil) but, I remove pages to collage & worst cases I've considered recycling the paper (papermaking) - thank you for adding to my options 😃
I found this video because my newer spiral sketchbook has micro perforated sheets and they've started tearing from the bottom up to nearly the middle of the pages and I didn't know what to do. Every time I'd turn the pages, they'd bend weirdly at the perforated edges and ultimately compromised the integrity so they just started to tear. About 25% of the beginning of the sketchbook is like this, even on pages I haven't gotten to yet. I didn't want to tear out my existing works because it's a fairly new one. Didn't occur to me to just use washi tape to hold them in place 😅 It's effective, safe for the pages, and cute! Plus side, I stumbled upon these amazing ideas and I love them all. I definitely need to do the pocket idea because I have a bunch of stuff shoved between the last page and the back of my sketchbook.
"mess it up even more" is my favourite.....thanks for the tips

I have this cheap packaging label that I use to cover my drawing and I just draw over it. Another thing I use is paint it all (my sketchbook isn't for painting but it holds it quite well enough) and start a different images in paint instead. Or just cover it up with a post-it and draw over it

These are good ideas, I'll have to use them sometime :) I like to try and make pages where I tested supplies usable again, as I make quite a mess when I do that, so one thing I have done is paint over them with acrylic and then bordered it with washi tape. Then on top of the acrylic you can draw in with colored pencil or marker. I use mixed media paper so this usually works well, but you can probably just gesso it first if it's not very heavy paper.
I liked the page that you cut. All great ideas though. Thanks, I’ll definitely use those ideas since I’m just starting out.❤

What I really like to do to messed up pages ist work with textures, like glueing down thin strips of different materials or tissue and maybe paint it later. It adds a lot of interest and can even be use on a smaller scale so you don't have to cover up the hole page.
Those tips are really really helpfull. When I start my sketchbooks I never know what to do with them and I end up making ugly doodles that I really hate and that have no purpose what so ever. Everytime I would turn over to that page I would be reminded of those ugly things that for the most part are at the beginning of my sketchbook and I would start to hate the hole thing and I wouldn't want to draw in it anymore. So thank's a lot for your tips!

I either collage over, cover the page with india ink and then use it as a griffiti page with coloured markers, or I do a drawing on a peice of a manufacturers sample paper that I want to try out and I glue this on top (either fully or as a flap), leaving part of the underneath image as a border, depending on the type of 'happy accident'.😋
The pocket idea is really helpful for me. Thanks! :)

I have one! If you made a mistake and tried rubbing it out only to realise that the rubber or eraser as some call it doesn't work and it left an annoying mark that is in-erasable then just do more of the annoying rubber marks and create an abstract to compliment the picture! It might not be what you were going for but it still looks fab! x

These are all great suggestions! I’ve done versions of all of these in my own journals...I have also glued pop-up elements (as in something you’d see in a pop-up book) on a troublesome page, and then when somebody comes to it, they’re distracted by the pop-up and they don’t notice the mistake at all. X^D Also, once I was in a printmaking class, and one of my classmates was having trouble with a print not turning out how she wanted it, and we were all working on a deadline and the materials were expensive, so she didn’t want to trash the print and start a new one. I suggested she just try random things to it and see how it turned out, because the worst case scenario would be if it ended up being totally unusable for her grade, which wasn’t very likely. She ended up running it through the printing press again (in another color and upside-down), throwing paint balls at it, flicking wet ink onto it with an old toothbrush, rubbing sandpaper on it, adding glitter, and even chewing on the edges! (Don’t worry, we were using 100% cotton paper, hehe.) By the time the class was done, she said it was her favorite print.
Actually, I enjoyed all the pages!!! I learned so much!
I like to leave all my pages in because I can look back and learn something form it or use it as another idea or as inspiration for another page
Thank you so much I don’t like to rip pages out of my sketch book and this really inspired me to be more creative and turn a bad thing into a good thing

I don't like ripping out pages either:)
I loved the collage page and the cut page the most since they seem to add a nice feel, and I can do them easily. Thanks for the video! It really helped
