Hello Marie Louise! It might be the same time zone. It’s always at midnight for me. Thank you so much for your comment. I’ve almost finished yet another sketchbook! I don’t know how but I’ve been more inspired again. Agreed about Seawhite sketchbook. They’re nice; just for dry media or gouache, I think.

See you at the next art hang if I’m not asleep when it starts 😆

@@WeirdIsTheBest the 100 heads made my head swim. I had to stop at 70 and then I finished it the next day.

@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33 I took multiple breaks 😬 I’m in awe with anyone who drew them all while watching it live and with Melissa while also reading the chat and talking! Impressive! Even 70 in one go is a lot

Thank you so much Teresa! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and the tips. I definitely agree with you that it really helps to see other people draw or even just seeing their sketchbooks to get lots of inspiration 😊

Hi Marcy, it was great seeing you there also! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my drawings. Thank you!

Thanks so much 😊

Yay! Ha good timing with spotting the message 🙂 I really like your weekly sessions and this just reminds me I need to catch up with your latest one ✨

@@WeirdIsTheBest I’m excited to see your 100 people!

I’m watching it today! Though I had to split the session into two ha ha! The beauty of catching up on your lives 😆

@melissamartinart I completed the session today! Yay! It was extra good 😊

@@WeirdIsTheBest nice! I think it’s one of my favs (but don’t tell the others haha)

Ha ha I love the set though it’s missing some blues, imo.

And thank you!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. I think I like that one now that I’ve had more distance from it. It’s often the way with art that if it doesn’t meet our expectations we don’t like it (but it doesn’t mean it’s bad art). Thank you for you kind words!

Amazing! Thank you for your comment and the info. That’s great to know. I love when a medium is lightfast. I’m glad I can recognise it now, thanks to you 🙂

Thank you! 🙂

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Thank you! It’s probably a bit different than what I usually draw or paint but I really enjoyed this experiment 🙂

Thank you! I’m working on it 🙂

It’s a group called Ladies, Wine & Design. They have chapters around the globe.

@@WeirdIsTheBest thanks x

Thank you so much for your kind words! It does encourage me. You can always start a new sketchbook and it really doesn’t have to be anything fancy ( sometimes the cheapest ones are the most productive).

It’s how the journal spreads 😬 I saw someone using it and couldn’t resist, oops, sorry for the inspo 🤣

@@WeirdIsTheBest i saw sophie mcpikes video on it a while back and ive been trying to resist but this makes it so much harder

@rainebee I think they just started making notepads which are a bit cheaper! I’m tempted though I need to finish this one off first.

It is! Very fun to play with. If you haven’t already, you might be interested in the full sketchbook tour: 3 Months Sketchbook Tour - 75 Pages in The Onion Skin Journal th-cam.com/video/NGVgTXo_N1c/w-d-xo.html

Welcome to Weird is the Best channel! I hope you enjoy the videos here🙂

Hi Lindsay! Yes, I’m with you on that one. There has to be stuff we don’t like so that we can appreciate it when it really works out 🙂 The crinkle of the pages is the best!

Thanks so much! I used to do lots of hand lettering so it was really fun to get back to it for a bit 🙂

Thanks so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it 😀

Thanks so much! ❤️

That’s so kind of you!! I can assure you though that it’s 99% practice and maybe 1% talent ha ha! I’ve been drawing almost every day since 2020 to improve!

Welcome to my channel and thank you 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the sketchbook tour ☺️

Thank you Sophia! That’s so lovely to hear, that it’s given you some inspiration to draw. Thank you for letting me know your preference for the length of video and explanations! That’s great to know.

+1 on this, I really enjoy the long format videos :)

Thank you! That’s so nice 😊 always lovely to see your comments 🙂

Yes!! Can’t wait to paint something with them 😊

Thank you and welcome to my channel! I hope you enjoy what you find here 🙂 that’s amazing about your exploration and filling sketchbooks- it’s the best feeling in the world ✨

I love Art hang party sessions. And those derpy humans were so fun to draw 🎈I might go back to those sessions in a couple months. I did that by accident with Scribble brigade and those quick prompt sessions are a nice way to see one’s progress. If you never tried, I recommend it ✨ Ha ha yes, I’m so close 🙂 I was aiming for next year and then, boom 🤭

Thank you for your comment! I’m glad to have inspired you and that I could share this. It was really a coincident that I found this practice to work! One thing I could as to the v video is that it’s normal to get a bit rusty when not drawing people for a bit but all the skills come back with a little practice .

Hi! Thank you. I’m actually starting to do more finished pieces now, but I think it comes and goes in waves. I wish I saw more of these kinds of sketchbooks when I was starting out so now I try and share it 🙂

I was really surprised with the progress to be honest! I was just having lots of fun and then boom! I highly recommend the quick practice exercises.

Thank you! That’s so nice of you 🙂 I’m glad you enjoy it ✨

Aww thanks so much Melissa! ✨

Nice to see your comment! Onion skin journal’s paper is truly lush and joyful to draw on. Yeah, I’m not sure about the cap either as it looks too intentional to just be there to stop the pens from rolling.

Thank you for leaving the comment 🙂 I think posca are still going to last longer but I’ve always struggled with the hard nibs and I always end up destroying my pages ha ha. On the other hand I’ve already had one of the Arrtx ones fray a fair amount. So I think they’re just very different 🙂

Thanks so much! I love them too. Somehow drawing in them really unlocked my creativity!

Thanks so much! I’m really glad it’s useful 🙂 do it! He he. Pick up your pencils and go for it 🙂 I hope up enjoy drawing something today.

Thank you so much 😀 I really enjoyed making it.

Hi hi! 👋 It’s the Onion Skin Journal. I got it as a gift and I love it.

Yay! Thanks so much! Hard not to love senshi ha ha he’s the best

Hi! The site is mentioned is called Pexels 🙂

That’s a tricky one! I definitely also get this often. I’ll have a think about making a video about how I handle this soon. I hope you keep going and enjoying your art for as long as possible 🙂

@@WeirdIsTheBestthanks a lot! I also wanted to draw every day, but probably I'll borrow your 100 hundred pages idea instead :D

@patheticwimp that was a fun project indeed! I shared a video of what I drew during the 100 page project (I did a 100 pages rather than days, but either should work). I’m collecting ideas for the art block video already, so hopefully I’ll have enough tips to record it soon 🙂 I hope you beat the art block very soon though!

Ha ha ha this is the only way from now on 🤣

Thank you so much! That’s always so nice to read 😊

Aww thank you! I didn’t even think my voice or art were peaceful, but I’m glad you think so 😊 creating and drawing always brings me so much zen that I’m glad that it comes through when I share it 😀

Oooh, I didn’t think of this but that’s such a cool idea, thank you! I might design some cards with it.

That session was really inspiring indeed! Thank you for your kind comment 😁

Yes!!! 😀

Thank it Dianne! I spent hours selecting it so I’m glad it works 😁
