JUST KEEP DRAWING!
มุมมอง 286ปีที่แล้ว
Ever notice that everyone shows their beat work on Social Media? Did you know behind that good drawing were a bunch of sketches that they never show you? Work at your own pace and don't compare to other people, I promise we all have gloroius turds we never show. Read that again All artists have off days, keep putting in the work!. I believe in you.

Good idea on the pencil case hooked on!
Can i be in one of your videos????😮
@@NolongerUnfertileMertyle we can talk about it.
Hi I'm Sawyer and if you see this please like this video to support them ❤
@@NolongerUnfertileMertyle Hi Sawyer, thanks for subscribing!
Your welcome 🙏 😅
Thanks for the motivation.
Love then pen case idea on outer spine. Very thorough review. I love mine as well!
Wow. You remind me of another channel.th-cam.com/video/NGL8lcSHoEk/w-d-xo.html Maybe you guys can do a collaboration together with a art journal. That'd be cool to see with two different nature artists.
This was helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful arts work.
Thank you so much 😀
Pretty sure the cap is the staedler pencils sharpens the lead
This palette is awesome....but with this case it make no sense.....when a normal travel tin would fit fine... This palette should be in something way smaller and thinner. Like a small sketchbook with a cover that holds this, a water brush and a pencil/pen.
What department is the pencil pouch in? What is it called?
Just found you! Pls keep posting and sharing!!!
Bought one from Polk Museum of Arts. Sadly, several of the colors don't work. It would be so cool if they did.
No worries! Next time I see you I have an extra!!!
Have you seen this TH-cam Video: th-cam.com/video/_tjt8WT5mRs/w-d-xo.html
I live near the Apalachicola national forest and I was so curious considering the long leaf pines history so thanks for the info
Longleaf pines are really cool!
Such a cool explanation!
Thank you!
You are correct on all counts!!!! So easy to drop into a purse and pick up and play!
jerrys artarama has those pencil sharpeners
The whole kit costs 88 USD?
Yes. The pocket kit is 88 US dollars. It comes with the moleskin sketchook, a ruler, fine line sharpie, and pocket palette (sans paints) It really is an awesome kit!
Short, but great review! 🙂 Nice tips as well. They are already available here in the Philippines thru local art stores (online) at around $20. Others would use the bigger well as container of sponge or paper towel. Planning to buy one now! 😊
I just filled mine and can't wait to use it. I will do a longer reviewwhen I have some "brush miles" on it!
Love the science. Will check out that documentary
Thank you! You won't be disappointed.
Thank you so much! I just ordered my pocket size Art Tool Kit (and I couldn't resist the Demi Palette, too!) earlier this week. It's due to arrive in two more days (but who's counting?). You just validated that expenditure!!! I'm still very much a newbie to watercolor, but I find I WANT to take my drawing/painting material with me wherever I go. The more artists I follow, the more reading I do, the more I realize that drawing and/or painting everyday is the best way to grow my craft.
That is so exciting! Yes everyday practice will excellerate you skills. Don't be afraid to just play, not everything has to be a finished piece to hang on your wall. I still adore my tool kit and have it with me all the time!
Oh great. Do you do any other crafts besides drawing and painting ? What is the craft?
@@nickorange4881 I do also sculpt. But Nature Journaling and illustration are my favorites right now.
Awesome, thanks for sharing:)
I recommend getting a nite eyes carabiner with the locking mechanism or using a small pad lock to connect the case to your bag. I had my art tool kit ripped off my handbag in the city where I live.
Oh no, that is horrible! I will look that up. Hope you were able to replace it and hope the theif has stepped on many legos, shoeless!
@@creativenatureadventures9338 Well i actually found the homeless person "bragging" to his friend about his "new" money bag... So I asked him where he got it because mine went missing less than a block from where he was sitting. So I got the now damaged case/cover and one pen back. He had hidden the rest in his shopping trolley. So I lost my pocket palette, water brush, and half filled moleskine as well as several other pocket travel brushes and a couple fountain pens. Total loss estimated at $700. Insurance deductible was $500 so not worth claiming. Police refused to walk less than 500 meters from their station to talk to the thief.
@@creativenatureadventures9338 I replaced some stuff from stock but haven't had the funds to replace my kolinsky blend travel brushes nor to repair the tear in the case. It was literally torn or cut off the carabiner by the thief while my bag was attached to my little ones buggy. I had walked less than a foot way from it when she fell over playing in the playground outside of our church. My buggy was literally right next to several of our elders and my husband and within a foot or two of me. My bag was not a purse and just contained church things but the case likely looked like a wallet to him.
Zenica204, when I sketch in the city I have a pencil, an eraser, a sketch book in a gallon size ziplock bag. This slips easily into my black crossbody shoulder bag. I take nothing that will attract attention to me.
@@cjenkins8785 Unfortunately for me what happened was similar to having a crossbody bag cut from one's person. It can happen even if you take nothing to attract specifically. This wasn't in a bad area either. It was literally right outside of a church.
Omg, I just stumbled onto this...I also have the same size Rite In The Rain cover, and just ordered and received a Midori A6 grid notebook for my doodles and tangles, and have plenty of room for my pencils, fountain pens, eraser, water brush etc. The cover I've had for years and it is bomb proof...is now my travel art kit...
You cannot go wrong with rite in the rain! Art toolkit also sell the palettes separately so if you ever need a small palette I can't recommend this enough!
Thank you, this was very informative. Subscribed 👍
Thank you!
This is fantastic Danielle! So helpful, I know I have to be able to understand the values in order to create a sketch that appears three dimensional, plus understanding the values is valuable (lol) to be able to use other mediums such as watercolor or colored pencil Your suggestion about applying a filter to view it in black and white really helps alot. tu!
Always enjoy watching you sketch. Thank you.
A great way to see the volume instead of a flat shape!
Laundry today but plein air workshop tomorrow. Will do daily sketch today (day 440). Thank you for the videos.
Jealous of the Plein Air Workshop!
Thanks for reminding me about the upside down mind tricking technique.
Love the topic. I picked up a dotted paper journal from Michael's to practice perspective with it. Thanks for sharing the video. Sent you a message thru Meetup.
Thank you for this!
Tu! I have wondered that for years. I have a friend who weaves baskets and the longleaf is her favorite to use.
I wish I knew how to weave!
I'm still loving my mini palette from arttoolkit.com Curious how the gouache is holding up. I'm just starting to get into gouache at the house. Down the road, I want to use it plein air. Enjoyed the review. Thanks!
Gouache holding up well!
