How to start and finish a sketchbook
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I’m sharing my top tips to start and fill your own sketchbook!
I’ve had a steady sketchbook practice for the past 6 years and by now I really know what it takes to have a full sketchbook that you love, without turning the practice into a chore.
Let me know if you like this video! I’ll be sharing some ideas for your sketchbook pages soon!
Have the most wonderful day! ❤️

I found the whole set of tips and your presence helpful, and I think it helped me receive a sort of echo-back of what I'm doing with my sketchbooks as well, and makes it feel like having company doing this :) Thanks, Paula

This is wonderful. It's been hard to decide what to do with sketchbooks and I tend to shut down when it can be anything! And it doesn't need to be perfect. Thank you so much:)

Thank you! I used to have the same issue…. Empty sketchbooks until I got the perfect ideas! Not anymore, no I have fun filling sketchbooks and doing that I get more fun ideas!
Thank you for sharing. I love the tips of using your sketch book before bedtime to relax. That is exactly what I need right now. Thank you.

Yes I think taking your sketchbook with u everywhere is the most important one, it’s so useful! I bring mine to school so I can sketch in it during study breaks and classes after I’ve finished my work.

I love your style and tips! I love the release of using sketchbooks-they can be beautiful finished pieces, but they don’t HAVE to be. No pressure. Thanks for making this!

Thanks Paula for this inspiring video! I enjoyed watching your style change and improve with time. I am glad you reminded me that a sketch book doesn't have to be perfect. I often find it hard to start because I am afraid I won't like the result. There was lots of good ideas in there that I will try :)

I just finished my 4th art journal today. I started art journaling in 2017 and have periodically journaled ever since. My biggest problem is coming up with ideas so I appreciate your suggestions and will put them to use. Thanks for sharing your journey with sketchbooks.

Hi!!! Thank you so much!❤️ so happy I’ve inspired you to create! Have fun!
I have always sketched. I will take it with me when I have doctors appointments. When I know I will be at other spots where I will be waiting. For a very long time I would look at coloring books and there is almost always parts I love and then the other parts. I will either just look at it then draw my own version the way I would rather see it. Then I was starting at the part I wanted to change and the rest of the page would change and I would end up with a page that was very rarely nothing like the original. Was a quick jump to just what I liked. Not sure why but only very recently began coloring some of them. Thanks for all your ideas to help give us a spring board and all the tips that I am sure will help me get way more out of my sketching.
