I just had a massive panic attack and I’m on my own, and they’re really hard to deal with when I’m alone, but to help them I watch TH-cam videos, so I decided to watch yours. Your art is amazing. I’m so grateful for the existence of you and your channel.
I LOVE writing in my sketchbooks!!! Ive become so much happier with art when i started treating it more like a journal and getting messy with it! Honestly ive never liked making finished pieces... i only sketch and allowing myself that makes it feel so much better
You make it look easier to fill a page with complete imagination. THANK YOU , you gave more inspiration to your supporters, gonna head straight to the book rn!
it’s def sometimes a struggle for me too but I remember that it’s just my sketchbook and I’m just exploring! I hope you have fun, and I’m happy this video inspired you!💖
Already I’ve had so much fun with my new sketchbook because of you, I did the pausing a movie and doodling the composition exercise with pens which I hardly ever use and found I enjoyed the movie even more because of it!
Thank you for the tips😊. I had always struggle on maintaining a consistent habit of opening and using my sketchbook(s). So, this has helped me realize I should focus more on my goals for my art and not to let deadlines get into my head. So, April is a new start.😊 THANK YOU!!
My mistake is tha i use like 2 or 3 sketchbook's at the same time. And sometimes i feel lost because i don't know where to draw, you know? Love your tips, your channel, your drawing's! You're really sweet.
thank you so much!! I would say designate a certain type of art or practice for each one! (ie travel, figure drawing, illustration ideas) hope it helps, thank you for watching!!💖
Your drawings are just…so good!!!!! It’s crazy how every page of your sketchbook is a piece of art, I love your style SO MUCH. Thank you for all these videos, they help so much!! you are my favorite artist❤
So inspiring! I just discovered your channel and your art and it's made me feel really inspired in a lot of different ways. Funny enough, I'm trying to push through and finish my second sketchbook right now, so this video was just the type of peep talk I needed, haha! Thank you for sharing! =)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What I enjoy most about your channel is your natural and honest nature. It's always fun to watch, and of course, I like that you also share many of your sketchbook pages and not "only" final drawings or challenges like others. Greetings from Berlin
Very nice video! Ever since I started filming and posting my work on TH-cam I stopped casually drawing. It’s videos like this that make you remember just how fun casual sketching can be. Thanks!
OH THANK U❤ because I keep buying sketchbooks using them for a few pages then just use another one acK- ALSO I LOVE THE LIL JOEL DRAWINGS IN UR SKETCHBOOK❤❤❤❤
1. Have a goal-pick 2 or 3 to have motivation 2. Write in it - notes, selfcritique, figuring out ideas, for design 3. Experiment with new supplies 5. Make observstional drawing
“That’s where I live…in” is my new favorite phrase 😂 I’ve been following you on insta for years and never realized you had a TH-cam channel!! What a treat!
well my goals are if i draw everyday i can progress more, im trying to improve certain things like drawing bodies, animals, poses without using references or not being fully dependent on them, and doing more gestural drawings which kinda ties into the reference thing
I wouls lovee love lovee if you could make a video on tips and tutorial on how u deaw ur figure drawings or ur anatomy for your character!! Im amazed by ur talent and i wish u could share some tips and trixks on how to improve on figure drawings and anatomy!!
Omg are you wearing Chuckle Sandwich merch? Also good video I love using my sketchbook as a kind of diary it's just nice being able to look through them and remember everything😊
LOL YES!! you are the only one that has noticed lol buT yeah I love using my sketchbook as just part of my daily life and make records of what happens in my life 💕
Just writing out the tips for personal reference! 1. Have a goal/multiple goals 2. Write notes 3. Try/test new supplies 4. Do a challenge (as long as it Align with your goals) 5. Draw from your life
This is a really helpful video,, we appreciate it! I think what my problem is (personal observation) is not being comfortable or satisfied with how “aesthetically pleasing” a drawing or spread looks. Like how some artists will decorate their pages and such. That’s where I find keeping and continuing a sketchbook,, very difficult.
I think I’m gonna make a video about this, because I also have recently struggled with the same thing! In the meantime, just enjoy drawing and doodling without worrying how it’ll look. I do that a lot of the time when I get too much in my head about a final product 😞💖
i'm such a mess that i would end up doing 5 different things in a sketchbook lmao, i feel like i really should just try and find a goal and focus after watching this video!! im prob gonna do practice (the usual fundamentals and style studies) and some chars for a dumb story i wanna do
finding a clear focus is a great idea! it makes things so much less overwhelming and helps you to really improve in one area instead of dividing your attention across many different types of art.
@@sketchesofshayyeah i bet! I've felt like my art wasnt really improving lately so i think ill just keep doing studies while also drawing for fun as to not burn out
do you use fixative sprays on your pages? im really interested in getting the sketchbook you use, especially if you dont use any sprays because i use pencil only and my god, the smudging is infuriating at times. i dislike having to skip pages just so two pieces dont get ruined at the same time
I don’t use fixative and my drawings still smudge in my sketchbook a lil bit, but mainly I find that using bound sketchbooks rather than spiral sketchbooks reduces the pages from moving and therefore reduces smudging! you can use a workable fixative of some sort too to spray on top if you really want to protect them 👍
You know, I love everything about this. but every time I look at my sketchbook the only thing I can think of is just how much money I'm wasting by screwing around in it. I can't get past the money aspect, so I stopped using my sketchbook. I don't know how to stop worrying about wasting my supplies. I keep getting guilty by not making money off of what I'm using my supplies for. I don't know what to do. It sucks not to be able to play on your Sketchbook anymore.
I used to struggle with the same exact thing, as someone who is very money and waste conscious. And in this economy I think we're all trying to save money! I highly recommend you to buy a super cheap sketchbook (my sketchbook right now came in a pack of 3 for about $6) This will help you make drawings and actually improve and explore your ideas instead of being to scared about wasting supplies. "Bad Drawings" (i prefer to call them attempts) will seem a lot less important, and you will fill your sketchbook without even thinking about it. So I would save those more expensive sketchbooks for further down the line when you're feeling more confident.
See my problem is that I keep messing up my drawings and I always waste pages by not being able to erase them😭😭 my sketchbook is just filled with unfinished pencil sketches
just try to think of the “messed up” drawings as attempts and learning points, not as failures!! sketchbooks are a great place to learn, and I think it’s okay to have those unfinished sketches and things you are not happy with. you’re not wasting pages, every attempt is valuable and you learn something every time!! unconsciously or consciously! you got this 💖
Omg.. Idk why I've never thought of writing things down on my sketchbook because it really does seem so helpful! I'll be using your tips from now on, thank you very much 😭🤍✨
I just had a massive panic attack and I’m on my own, and they’re really hard to deal with when I’m alone, but to help them I watch TH-cam videos, so I decided to watch yours. Your art is amazing. I’m so grateful for the existence of you and your channel.
I hope you’re feeling better now ❤ I hate attacks
I’m so glad to be of help, and I hope my videos continue to give you that comfort💖thank you so much, I hope things get easier for you💕

i'm such a mess that i would end up doing 5 different things in a sketchbook lmao, i feel like i really should just try and find a goal and focus after watching this video!! im prob gonna do practice (the usual fundamentals and style studies) and some chars for a dumb story i wanna do

@@sketchesofshayyeah i bet! I've felt like my art wasnt really improving lately so i think ill just keep doing studies while also drawing for fun as to not burn out
u and ur art damn cute
do you use fixative sprays on your pages? im really interested in getting the sketchbook you use, especially if you dont use any sprays because i use pencil only and my god, the smudging is infuriating at times. i dislike having to skip pages just so two pieces dont get ruined at the same time
Does anyone know the brand of the pink sketchbook ?
I don’t use fixative and my drawings still smudge in my sketchbook a lil bit, but mainly I find that using bound sketchbooks rather than spiral sketchbooks reduces the pages from moving and therefore reduces smudging! you can use a workable fixative of some sort too to spray on top if you really want to protect them 👍
What color pencils do you use?
prismacolor colored pencils!
Im just 😚
am i a beginner, no. am i still gonna use these bc of my severe arts block yes. thank you sm
im so happy you have found these tips useful! I am planning on doing an art block related video soon so I hope that helps as well!
Hey Shay, my name is Shay😂
hey!!😂💖
From where u bought those stickers for cover
from a bunch of different creators! when I do a sketchbook tour I will be Iinking all of them!
@@sketchesofshay okiii thank you so much 🥰😍....ahh u replied 😆😆
When I saw the thumbnail with the Montgomery gator sticker, I clicked
I need to make actual fnaf art, maybe a draw with me or something
That would be fun! I’d definitely watch! 🙃
