Fantastic video, Danny! Loads of suggestions and inspiring examples. At the moment, I'm finding lettering hard due to constant pain. Maybe I'll try with brush pens which require a bit less "pressure" and grip. Looking forward to playing with words.
Honestly, I could listen to you talk about your art all day long. You seem so happy and peaceful. I love that. And it makes me calm too. Thank you so much for your amazing channel!
Now this is the kind of journaling I love to do! Its been so therapeutic for my depression. Thank you for the video of inspiration!

I love your sketchbook ideas! I was thinking while watching how nothing feels better than the right pen when trying to express something you are thinking about. Thank you for sharing! I'm inspired ❤️✨
Ah Danny, you're always inspiring! Thanks for this!

Thanks for putting this together. So well done and helpful.
Absolutely loved this video 💜✨
love the way you design your sketchbook pages.
Great tips and advice, thank you so much!
Yay! I LOVE lettering and art together. Thank you, Danny Gregory. "Gorgeous illustrations surrounded by this river of text"
Beautiful. Thank you
Hi Danny. I turned 40 a few months ago and the TH-cam algorithm brought you to my attention. Love your videos. I had a sketchbook and pen delivered yesterday and I’m very much enjoying filling it up. I just hope I can stay motivated. Thank you!
I am really looking for these types of pens!! I love writing and lettering as well. Really need bold wet pens/brush that’s expressive for lines too. Thank you !!!
Beautiful 💖 Inspiration !
I luvit. So helpful and inspiring.
This is amazing. So inspiring
❤❤Me encanta este material... Activa mi imaginación 🎉❤
Very helpful. Thanks for the tips.
Listening to you was meditative...Thank you!
You’re my inspiration
Thanks Danny!! Really helpful tips. The magazine example makes so much sense. I found a whole pack of un-used Ecoline markers in a draw the other day. They will be perfect for adding bold text headings, as well as colouring in. Yay! Much appreciate your guidance 👍👌
This is a really great episode- extremely interesting and inventive
This video is very helpful, thank you for sharing.
How is you always to tackle my concern more than ever!
Amazing..this is what I really need.. Never knew I could actually took up the magazine style of layout as smh that we could apply on Journaling.
Love this! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks for watching!
Hello! Its so amazing how you combine the letters and illustrations! My main references always been magazine layouts. So when I saw this I remembered when I "created" magazine pages with drawings and... a very rough lettering. 🤣
Such cool lettering- just followed ❤
Love this so very much! I'm learning to play and explore more thanks to you and other creatives! Could you share the explorer's book you were flipping through. It looks amazing!
Hi Danny, just stumbled upon your channel, love your videos!
Love your info!
Thanks for such great insights.

As I wait for my NYPL hold for Stacy Schiff’s Cleopatra I was re-listening to Peter Ackroyd’s William Shakespeare biology. What he did as a serial reviser & editor of his & his contemporaries feels so familiar to all of this. So many lessons we can gleam when putting our Creative Licenses to action.
Love❤ this. Thanks for sharing. Wonder idea...
Wonderful, thank you!
Wow! ‘If you make a mistake, cross it out’ is an awesome suggestion. When you said that, I sudden,y realized that has been a huge stumbling block for me when I want to add words to a drawing, or worse, when I want to make a nice card for someone, and I inevitably screw up a letter at the very end, and then procrastinate because I feel I have to do another card to fix it, then I make another mistake, etc…. which causes me to not send as many cards as I’d like…I am going to start owning the crossouts 😊 So cool how you framed it, to think of crossouts actually capturing the mind changing…I’m definitely going to start owning the crossouts now:) And your sketchbooks are absolutely captivating btw:)
Thanks! I appreciate your voice (so calming) and encouragement.
That's so nice! thank you!
Loved this vid….very inspiring for beginning an illustrated journal … :)
Go for it!
I have a compulsion to record life experiences in text, and like most people (?) have always taken photos. Technology has enabled this process... I feel it is enriching in the moment and a vital aid to staving off amnesia...
Each page of YOUR beautiful obsession shows me in an instant how much depth of engagement you must be having in your life experiences... The cultivation of this appreciation of the moment is my no1 takeaway from your art.
Without being cheesy, your creative output astonishes me, not only the art itself but these videos with flawless lighting, scripting, presentation...
Hi Danny.. I saw in your journal that you’re having a little struggle with getting your gardenias to bloom .. try Charlie Carp or fish emulsion .. (not seaweed but fish- now there’s another pic) It works a treat on them. I put some on our potted G.Floridas and they really greened up well and put buds on .. within a week !! (During spring and summer) Hope that helps .. cheers, Lisa.
Thanks for this. I have horrible penmanship/handwriting but this made me want to give it a go…
Nice art work my friend 💛 👍 👌 👏
I was drawn to your comment, "...drawing your writing." I used that strategy teaching 2nd grade rookie writers to get their thoughts on paper.
Really helpful... thank you sir
I love it.
You have changed my life! thank U😍😍 I just bought your book “ Do you do you”;And I also want to do your courses. I am really excited about this😀🤩
Wonderful!
Hi from Texas. Awesome. Thank you for sharing. Later.
Thank you❤🌹
Wow amazing all things
Hello Danny, what a beautiful way to fill your sketch book. Could you post a video about writing with brush pencils? For me is too difficult to manage it.
Thank you for sharing your videos.
Muchas gracias...
oh man, those metallic inks look juicy !!!
Thanks. Inspiring. Do you know what makes the metallic pens shiny? What are the little glittery pieces made of? I have ordered a pentel pocket brush and I’m looking forward to it arriving 😊
I took the Sketchbook Skool course on lettering years ago, loved it, and it changed how I use my sketchbooks. This video was a great reminder to revisit some of the techniques I learned back then and whenever I see examples of your own sketchbooks I feel additionally motivated to make art. Thank you.
I’d love to hear more about the course and if it’s still available?😊
@@tkikpar4882 Hi. It was delivered by Andrea Joseph for Sketchbook Skool. If you contact them they will be able to tell you if it still available. Andrea showed lots of different lettering techniques which were easy to learn.
Thank you Jane! I’ll do my research.
Any suggestions for the explorer/scientist journals. I've been looking for some to read
I love writing
Fanstic Danny 👏👏👏👍👍👍👌👌👌
Hi Danny! I love your lettering style. These tips are helpful, but is there a full lesson with step-by-step how-to with the styles you do? Thank you! 🙂
I do just that in my new course, Dip Into Dip Pens, I also show you how to draw with a dip pen. Learn more at : skool.tiny.us/dip
Hello, I want to thank you for the subtitles in different languages, just the ability to auto-translate. I'd love to hear a review of Henry Darger's works, maybe a podcast. It is may be your personal opinion, not based only on the documentary. Thank you.
I enjoy listening to these videos about keeping a sketch book with you. But there's that issue where you may want to just draw on one side of the sketch book and not on the back of each sheet/page. Most artists use just one side and never draw on the back, out of fear of messing up the previous drawing(s) on the front.I should know. I've done it for years. Until one day, I decided to take a/the risk and drew on the back of a page. It wasn't too much of a bother,(seeing as how I used a ballpointpen to sketch with, and the sketches were small)until I tried using colored pencils and regular pencils. Those will smear if you drew directly on the back. So, I tried a new remedy...using post-it notes, or photo paper,or scraps of paper; draw on those, and tape them inside on the reverse side of each page; when the drawing on the front was clean cut. Although, I feel like that's wasting the use of the actual back of the page if it wasn't drawn on directly. How do you avoid the fear of "damaging" the page, when you draw on the back? Is there a specific paper that can handle being drawn on the back?
You could collage some additional (decorative) paper onto the backs of your pages to provide an additional layer, thus preventing bleed through. Just make sure that your collage medium is something that will take additional marks in the way that you want it to.
Or, you could possibly spread in a thin layer of watercolor ground and paint/draw on that. (Not sure if it would flake off over time with the movement of the pages, though.)
Spelling errors! LOL
I did try lettering from a calligraphy book I bought. It was harder than I thought. I couldn’t keep the size consistent or keeping alphabets in line. Your lettering and font look fantastic! I may give it another try without expecting perfection. I prefer to write down some poems I like because I often find my thought pedestrian.
I'd look at it like your thoughts are your personal poetry. Go ahead and write them down!
Lovely drawings and typography. What do you do with all of these beautiful works of art? Maybe you can compile them into a sellable book?
I've actually published a dozen books from my sketchbooks! www.dannygregory.com/author
Hi Danny! I was wondering -- is your lettering in the sketchbooks the same as how you write when you're taking notes or in your day to day work? In other words, do you have a type of lettering that you do for "artsy" purposes vis a vis the lettering you do day to day when you're writing regular stuff?
In my sketchbook, I take my time and it comes out differently. If Im making a grocery list, my handwriting is so illegible I can barely make it out. But these days, i tend to type everything. Maybe that's part of the issue.
Hi Danny, I was wondering what book is that on 1:58?
Amazing sketchbook process. Does anybody ever asks to buy some of them? They form a nice collection.
