I used to treat my supplies as something "precious" to mess up with. I've heard many artists who said that you don't need expensive stuff to make art but you're probably the one who inspired me the most. Since I started watching your videos, I've been using some materials that I never thought I'd use this much like my colored pens that I was about to throw away, and some inexpensive highlighters. This actually eliminated the fear of "wasting" art materials (since they were cheap) and I'm now more confident to sketch than before. It also allowed me to explore and experiment with materials that I never thought would be my favorites to use. 'Yung mga materials na dati hindi ko pinapansin at kalat-kalat lang sa bahay, ngayon gamit na gamit ko na. Labyu po ate!❤ hahaha
TOTALLY agree!! My coloured ball point pens are my fav art supply for quick sketches. They are easily accessed because there is practically no setting up/packing up like you would have with paints, and I never feel guilty or like I'm "wasting" art materials if I make a mistake when I'm sketching. Also, because they cannot be erased, the coloured ball point pens teach me to embrace the errors and just push through to the finished piece. It is these experiments that push us all to be better and braver artists than we ever though we could be! So thank-you for this video, and for showing us that these "simple" art supplies are often the best ones for helping us to sketch fearlessly! 👏👏👏 Keep going, everyone!! Use literally whatever supplies you have! Remember that even humble ballpoint pens will help you, if only you give them the time ❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪🤗🤗🤗
@@slumbear SO TRUE!! Especially if you are left-handed like me, and you manage to get graphite all over the side of your hand 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Never underestimate the humble ballpoint pen ❤️❤️❤️ I love them, and it's really nice to see so many other people love them too! 🤗🤗
I just wanted to say your amazing, and really underrated! My favorite thing is your loose style of sketching, and your underlying structure that you start with. When ever I watch one of these videos, it makes me feel like I can just open my sketchbook and start having fun without making me feel pressured when I'm on my break. Thank you for the content!
Ugh this is just so 😭😭 I'm so glad you like them. I just sat down and sketched tonight without filming for the first time and it made me miss just having fun with no pressure
I have studied anatomy - I can honestly say it has been a blessing to have that background when I'm doing figurative drawings and portraits. It just makes proportions so much easier, and I am able to quickly indicate important anatomical landmarks right at the beginning of the drawing, which makes the whole process run smoothly overall. There are also many "anatomy for artists" books that might be great to have at home as a reference. I find reference books like that really useful to have in my studio, and definitely worth the investment ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how your user experience has refined your tools and how each one has a specific purpose. Each drawing you show is proof of what you explain. Congrats and congrats on your amazing drawings and sketches!
I really love your art style and how you make use of inexpensive art materials. Thank you for inspiring other people, like me. You are such a gem. Thank God i found your channel
I agree with you on White Nights being great. I bought them as my first ever watercolors and always come back to them even though I have few more palettes now. Also thank you for a tour of your art it inspired me to draw today :D
Those pencils made such a miraculous recovery, I can't believe it!!! I never would have been able to tell! Thanks for a wonderful video as always! Have you ever tried the Zebra Mildliners as another highlighter-marker? Their colour range is so soft and seem right up your alley, and they are quite comfortable to use!
When you said you will do a sketching portraits video, I was like: stopp the video, really?!?! It's great that your planning to do this!!! I love painting portraits! And since I have already learnt so much from you - really much and so much more than in school -, I'm sure it will be very helpful again! You are such a great painter/sketcher/drawer!!! (Hm, do this words even exist?)
I thought I was the only one who was thinking that the Limelight sketchbook paper have changed :oooo I'm so sad I lost my old one, I absolutely loved the paper back then 😞😞
Another lovely video. I was looking for background videos but I simply could not do that with yours. I'm glad I watched the whole thing or I would have missed some amazing artwork!
Oh wow I really love your video you combine everything into one video and explain it so very well I just order for the first time some inexpensive colored pastel pencil like holbein off eBay they arrive in mid may I can't wait I not a person who have been able to draw and sketch people but watching you I learn a lot I'm not so a fear anything more I will give it a try I've love drawing, doodling and coloring all my life I'm 60 plus some years lol it relaxes me thank you so very much for share this video. P.S. would you be willing to share a video of your room or studio
wait-- I was just thinking how some of your items are readily available in my country, and then BOOM limelight sketchbook lmao I like limelight sketchbook esp when I'm doing sketches and fast watercoloring outside, but I wish they also came with a version with fewer pages because they're quite heavy in the bag. Their paper changed maybe 2 or 3 years ago and I haven't tested how it fares with watercolors yet.
Hey 👋 came across your channel and love it u made me subscribe to your channel as well and like it. Also have a question can u list down be low what all u said for is on 0:09 If u don't mind that will help a lot lol if u can't that's cool too. Finally u reading this thank u for your time appreciate it have a wonderful blessed day takecare 🌺 ps can't wait to see how you draw with pens. And I won't to learn how to use pens on drawing finally find it so glad and before I go keep up the wonderful contact 😉👌 🌟byeee🌟
angas lodicak3s, video suggestions,,, 10 things I wish I know before starting watercolor, or drawing anime characters (especially ghibli ) in my style chrr👀
Yes, the blue one feels more like the uni pencils, they're not as soft or as dark as the black and they also reflect light. At least from what i remember. I haven't used the blue one in years
I have both and I can say they are both very good quality. The black ones just have more carbon in them so they don't reflect as much light as graphite and look darker. It's more about taste than anything. The black ones are also a little harder to erase due to the carbon.
About the limelight sketchbook: I also don‘t know wether it‘s a filipino brand or not. But when I ask my german Google, I can‘t find a website to buy it except international ones that export the sketchbook from the Philippines... mysterious🤔
It's true that beginners don't need expensive art supplies/ It's also true that pros don't need them. Having said that, the better your supplies, the easier it is to do the task at hand. Just because you don't NEED something does not mean you wouldn't benefit greatly if you had it and used it. "Need" is simply the wrong question, and the wrong way to view things. Graphite pencils are a good example. I have sixteen brands of graphite pencils, including all the big name brands, and several cheap Chinese brands. All of the big name brands and at least five of the Chinese brands are more than good enough to do professional level work, but more of the big name brands are also pretty cheap, so buy one or two of them. There's no sense saving two dollars because you don't NEED" expensive brands. There isn't enough money to make me use a ballpoint pen fopr sketching. These work fine for those who don't expect to draw hyperrealism with graphite, or even with color pencils, but they can prevent a beginning artist from ever learning these things. Not learn them is bad. It's horrible. You can get very good without these graphite skills, but I've yet to see where any artist attained the status of "GREAT without them. For beginners, bad sketches mean bad drawings. They just do. Ballpoint pen sketching works best for those who want to be painters, and only after they've learned to use graphite well. Focus your learning on pro artists who are not only great with graphite, but who don't mix ink, watercolor, or anything else with the graphite. Or, to put it a better way, artists who are extremely good with graphite, and who have many, many instructional videos than teach graphite without anything else added. Otherwise, you may never learn, may never reach the level where you want to be. You don't NEED expensive supplies, but you should buy the best you can afford. If you're more worried about "wasting" expensive supplies, which is impossible, than you are about becoming the very best you can be, then give up now.
This video is really great! I get to know the materials u use at the same time your artworks! Honestly love them(༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ) - hope u make some watercolor tutorials more in the future!!!

@@artbydrbee Exactly! Ballpoint pens are great for sketches! Plus, they don't smudge as much as graphite does.

A good sharpener is worth its weight in gold! And I look forward to seeing your portrait videos. 🙂
Could u possibly do how you studied Anatomy ? I’m still amazed at the amount of effort in your vids 🤍🤍
3 months ago they posted a vid ab anatomy :)
@@elizabeths567 thank youuuuuu
I personally think a whole series on it will be really helpful

Dayum i always look forward to your videos. It's therapeutic even
if something still works, no point getting rid of it no matter how beat up it looks and it can be hard to find a sharpener that we like a lot 😀
I really love your art style and how you make use of inexpensive art materials. Thank you for inspiring other people, like me. You are such a gem. Thank God i found your channel

Sketchbook tour, please! ♥ You draw so well, I really enjoy your videos!
Your art is INCREDIBLE ❤️

Your channel is my favourite one on the whole TH-cam
This is my third time watching this and probably not the last. I'm obsessed with this and especially with your art! 😭💞
Your work is incredible!
My toxic trait is that i constantly buy expensive materials even if my art is crap. Hope i can overcome this someday.
I thought I was the only one who was thinking that the Limelight sketchbook paper have changed :oooo I'm so sad I lost my old one, I absolutely loved the paper back then 😞😞
It's so sad. I haven't finished my last limelight because of that 😭
Your art is amazing. 💖
Another lovely video. I was looking for background videos but I simply could not do that with yours. I'm glad I watched the whole thing or I would have missed some amazing artwork!
I'm super excited for the ball pen tutorial . Cause if like to draw with them and I need to get started with that .
Probably the best advertisement for Holbein! Keep up the beautiful art. 👍
This is so nice! Great video as always so simple and straight ti the point 🙂
I love your art style !!! Awesome ! Love from Argentina !!💐💖👏👏👏
The paintings have such beautiful lighting ✨
Your ballpoint pen drawings are beautiful. I have to start using pens 😍
Can you provide links where can I buy your paper materials? I really like your sketchbooks. 🥺
I was looking for the same. The sketchbook is beautiful.
It looks like it could be a Pentalic sketchbook.
Pantasa. Now I used cutters since sharpeners like to break the leads.
But I am a ballpen guys since a kid.
Oh wow I really love your video you combine everything into one video and explain it so very well I just order for the first time some inexpensive colored pastel pencil like holbein off eBay they arrive in mid may I can't wait I not a person who have been able to draw and sketch people but watching you I learn a lot I'm not so a fear anything more I will give it a try I've love drawing, doodling and coloring all my life I'm 60 plus some years lol it relaxes me thank you so very much for share this video.

I love this sm!!! (omg ate pls stop making me want to buy new art supplies 😭😭)
Limelight used to have a pocket at the back :( I bought my first limelight sketchbook (back 2017-2018 i think)

Their paper changed maybe 2 or 3 years ago and I haven't tested how it fares with watercolors yet.
Loved this! I’m trying to learn how to draw with pens but it scares me a bit 😂
Don't! They're buildable so you can always go over your mistakes when you make them

Thank you,Gabi!
Artist loft, silver black velvet brush , giorgione brush

Can you make a review on the baohong watercolor papers? I've been curious of them for a while and I think it'd be great to hear your insights on it!
Can you get a lot of these online also how often do you paint? Because you’re amazing.
I hope there would be links as to where you bought some of your materials. Thnx ^^

Very Inspiring!! Thanks.
Beautiful content as always. 😊
Thank u for this video it was rlly helpful 💜
Is there any difference between the quality of staedtler blue and black pencils?
Yes, the blue one feels more like the uni pencils, they're not as soft or as dark as the black and they also reflect light.
At least from what i remember. I haven't used the blue one in years
@@hambot ooh 😲 now I regret buying bunch of blue ones
Don't! They're still really good pencils. I think they're less likely to break than the black ones
@@hambot oh right thank youu I might buy the black pencils as well next time. Haven't tried them yet.
I have both and I can say they are both very good quality. The black ones just have more carbon in them so they don't reflect as much light as graphite and look darker. It's more about taste than anything. The black ones are also a little harder to erase due to the carbon.
Awesome friend,very nice😘😘😃😃👍
Yo también uso los resaltadoresnpara cosas de ese tipo
Did you use acrylic inks? I think they will be suitable for your art style
I'm really trying my hardest not to skip the ads tehehe
