- Take a peek inside the sketchbook that helped me with my quarter life crisis. See the work of an amateur artist including mixed media art, gouache paintings, sketches, and my attempts at the 100 heads challenge.
Love it. I don’t like seeing perfect pieces or photo realistic art. I wanna see creativity.. I want to see that others ppls brains are as messy as my own. Playfulness, freedom.❤
Thanks Kathy!! Hahah well you’re in the right place, my brain is a messy (but fun!) place 🤪 I don’t understand how some people get their sketchbook to look so neat 🤯
Molly, I like the way you challenge yourself and then intermittently slip the heads/faces into your sketchbook. You kind of sketch..hop around..journal…and then pop back to it. I love it! Thank you for sharing your art and your process.
Thank you! Haha that about sums up how chaotic of a process it is, but it’s what works for me and is fun too 🙌
I love this sketchbook tour and I love your art ❤ I also like how you integrated writings in it. It's really inspiring and comforting ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🥰
So inspiring. Love how you have annotated throughout. It adds another dimension. Can't wait to see the rest of the book. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thanks so much Karen! Yes I also really like looking back on it and seeing what I was thinking at the time 🤗
I love your details and your voice!
Thank you so much! Like everyone, I feel so self conscious hearing my voice back so this is a lovely confidence boost haha!
Thank you for sharing! I'm learning to draw and paint right now. I doubt I'll ever be able to draw a face. Your work is fantastic! I loved the pomegranate.
Faces are HARD!! But I am sure you’ll get there. Mine are still wonky, but I find it helps if you go in not thinking of it as a face haha- a group of shapes is way less intimidating 🙈😂 Thank you so much! I really enjoyed the pomegranate too 🥰
Absolutely FABULOUS! You are inspiring me to do more water colour in my sketchbooks!
Aw thanks so much Jamie! Yes, if the paper can hold it I say absolutely go for it- I love the colour it brings to my sketchbook. And tbh I find sketching and doing small watercolours way more enjoyable than bigger pieces (though maybe that’s just because I haven’t practiced with watercolour enough yet!!)
you are an artist - I love it gives me the courage to try it! thank you
Thank you 🥰 Enjoy your journey with it too!!
Love it! Even though this isn't even halfway through the sketchbook - it's obvious that you've improved from the first page to the last. Your line quality, proportions, usage of colour, everything seems to be improving. Would love to see the other pages when you are done with them! :)
Thank you so much, that’s so nice of you to say. sometimes it can be hard to see the improvement yourself so I’m really grateful for your comment 🥰
Wonderful sketchbook. I admire how you persevere. I really can see the improvement page by page.
Thanks so much Eugene! Sometimes it feels like it’s slow progress but it’s great to hear that the effort is working even slightly 🤗
A very satisfying sketchbook tour, Molly. A life changing and life saving sketchbook
Thank you Paul 🤗
I love this sketchbook tour for a few reasons: 1) so relatable and realistic 2) your artwork is lovely and the wonky bits only add more character! (i feel your pain when it comes to drawing heads, they're so hard!) 3) you're not afraid to share all the not-so-perfect outcomes which is great for younger artists or those just starting out to see
Of course a beautifully curated sketchbook is what we all aspire to achieve, but honestly, who can handle that kind of pressure? I've never be able to and that's not what a sketchbook is for. Even though I'm a full time artist, my sketchbook is a mix of all sorts of good/bad/ugly bits. It's designed to be used for practice and that's exactly what you're doing here.Well done!
Thanks so much Debbie! I’m so glad you liked it, I was a bit nervous to post all the wonky bits haha but everyone has been so nice and I think it’s just confirmed for me that we don’t just want to see everything perfect- I pushed myself to post what I know I’d like to see out there and I’m really happy that others feel the same 🥰
Some very important firsts in your sketchbook Molly - well done. The duck butt was a cute touch 😄
Thank you Kayleen 🦆🥰
Watched this video 3x then ordered a leather sketchbook of my own!! Love your content please upload more sketchbook videos ❤
Aww I’m really glad you loved it! 🥰I really like my sketchbook, it’s nice to have something that feels a bit less commercial/branded- enjoy yours when it arrives and I’m so happy you’re here!
A well filmed and edited video! This sketchbook tour was lovely to watch 🌟 I also love your positive attitude! Art can be difficult, especially for beginners. But keep pushing forward and you’ll get to a place you’re happy with!
Thank you!! Yes I have found that art has helped with my positivity- in life it’s something I definitely need to work on more so I’m glad it’s coming across in my art process🤗
love it just discoverd you and tha fact you love it, is all that matters - great to see a genuine brain dump sketch book they are the best
Thanks so much Ruth- glad you liked it 🥰
This is so wonderful. You’ve inspired me to get more organised about drawing and colouring in my sketchbook including doodles, odd objects, patterns, bugs, flowers … without worrying whether it’s “perfect”. BTW, wonky faces can be art in themselves so thanks for sharing them. Love your work and the voicing of your thoughts reflecting on the various works. Yes, there’s something to like in even our most disappointing woks.
Aww thank you!! I’m so happy that it has inspired you to do that- art is worth making no matter what it looks like 🥰
Lovely 🫶🏼 There so much freedom and joy that comes across in your sketchbook. It’s the kind of art I love the best. I think professional artists make wonky drawings too and so much so that it helps build their career.
Thank you for your lovely comment! Wonky art for the win :)
Loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Fiona 🥰
first time popping into this channel and i must say i am very grateful for you sharing this sketchbook tour, i had a lot of anxiety filling out my own sketchbooks because everyone only posts perfect looking art :( thank you, you have inspired me to not fear imperfections in my sketchbook
I know how you feel!! So glad this could help you and make you feel better about your art- it’s a process and I’m sure even those perfect looking people have rough sketchbooks they don’t show anyone 🤫
Definitely an amazing artist that's what I see... Keep going I love you videos!
That’s so nice of you to say; thank you 🥰
Wonderful sketchbook! Inspiring.
Thank you so much 😀
Lovely reflections on your faces… but it’s really great that you are enjoying your own sketchbook efforts!
Thanks so much! I do really enjoy sketch-booking 🥰
Love your tour, and it was really interesting to see your reflections in with the artwork.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it , I love looking at other peoples sketchbooks 🥰
Me too!@@mollyssketchbook
Love it!!! Keep it up I wanna see more 😍😍😍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Just found you and subscribed. Thank you for sharing your beautiful sketchbook. Much ❤ from Nashville TN USA 🇺🇸 😎
Aww thanks so much, glad you’re here 🥰
This was great, Molly! I like how you're treating your sketches and you can see big improvements from the start to the last pages. My favourites are the landscapes you've done towards the end! They look really loose and fun ☺️
Thank you 🥰 Yes I have really been falling in love with landscapes 🍃
I enjoyed watching your sketchbook tour. Your thoughts written on paper looked cool next to the art. :) Also love the variety of the things you drew and painted. A sketchbook filled with a lot of creativity. ^^
Thanks so much! 😊 yes I do think having the text alongside makes it look interesting, even if that wasn’t the first intention 🙌
I enjoyed your sketchbook tour. I am so bored with people sharing only their best artworks. Everyone one has good and bad days, good and bad drawings, it is life. I struggle too with faces and 100 heads challenge is helpful.
Thanks so much! I’m so glad it resonated and I’m happy that I’m not the only one who struggles with the heads 😅
Great progress!
Thank you! That’s the aim 🤗
Well, I have just experienced the biggest coincidence. I was watching a video just today that was of someone cutting a word into two, making one word into two, which I thought was very clever, so I thought what word could I do the same with, and I came up with ‘Pink ink’, but then I thought you would have to colour the ‘P’ in pink and ‘ink’ in black to make them look like separate words.. Then a couple of hours later I watched this video… 😳 It must be a sign I should subscribe 🤔
Woah spooky! 🫨 Great minds think alike obviously!!
@@mollyssketchbook Hehe absolutely!
So crazy to see someone mention St Neots on TH-cam, that’s where I went to school 😂
Haha small world!!
I love it a lot! Really really inspiring!
Thank you so much Roxana 🥰
I love the Pink Ink!
Aww thank you! I’m not sure where the idea came from haha but I just knew I had to draw it ✍🏼
Maybe I missed it but which sketchbook is that? I know mixed media, but is it a certain brand? The texture of it and thickness of the pages looks lovely and your sketches are very inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Ah I’m so sorry, i thought I might get that question- I don’t actually know 🙈I was gifted it second hand by a friend who couldn’t remember where she got it and there’s no branding on it as far as I can see. The closest thing I’ve seen are the handmade sketchbooks on market stalls or in quirky little shops. Sorry I can’t be more helpful 😬
Soooooooo 🅒🅞🅞🅛🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thank you 🥳😎😎
