Sometime I feel like drawing purposely “bad” helps be do art so I know that I’m just playing around and not stressing on trying to make it look good and just having fun
Im the same 😂 sometimes I just draw something really bad or stupid and then I just relax for the first time in a while lmao
and it’s fun for experimenting! when i’m doing stupid doodles, especially scribbling faces i find styles and proportions i wouldn’t have otherwise :)
Me too I have a designated junk journal for proportion studies, brain dump, sketching in art block, ugly stuff and cutouts of stuff I find interesting. So far it’s mainly doodles, a snowball (the bunny) painting, 6cm big with lumpy dried acrylic paint and crusty brushes and random stuff like a cat on a label of sth I got for Christmas, a rocket riding astronaut from a packaging of socks, stuff like that. I have no shame about that and nobody will see it
the way he drew the circle for his first self-portrait so perfectly just felt wonderful
im still amazed at that circle
It reminded me of SpongeBob
I'm absolutley adoring your longfrom content! Keep up the amazing work!
Fr!
Thank you so much!
@@ssavaarthearing you talk over a video is so relaxing. I listen to it while I write or draw or do homework and would love (if you want to) if you could make more long form videos.
it's funny to have people say that five minutes is long form haha. It's much better than shorts for sure though.
the fact that scott ever had detention just doesn’t seem true
As a mixed media project, the QR code thing is interesting, for sure. And I get it, text instructions in tutorial books can be cumbersome. But if I'm buying physical media, I'd want the full package as physical media. I wouldn't want a book like that to become obsolete the second the internet goes out or the videos are lost to server issues or whatnot.
I can appreciate the ingenuity though.
I had an interactive kit like this when I was a kid. It was called Paint Like Van Gough or something like that. It came with oil pastels and each page in the book was based on one of Van Gough’s drawings. Coincidentally, the first activity was also a self-portrait. (Mine looked cursed.)
I had completely forgotten about it until my mom found it a few weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised, both because my drawings were better than I had expected and I actually made it to the end of the book. (I would abandon most activity books a few pages in.) My favorite drawing was the one where I was tasked with drawing a bed and I made the headboard a literal head and the footboard out of feet. I’ve always loved surrealism…
I think it would be cool to redo the book now to see how much my art skill has grown since childhood.
The bed story!!!!!
Thank you for sharing and the discount code. This year I want to learn how to draw and this class I just ordered will be a great foundation
I wish there was a pdf version to buy and printout for people living in countries where getting anything shipped costs a bomb. If the book is $50, shipping might cost another $25 for me and customs in my country loves to take 50% of the item cost so I'll be paying $100 for this :/
Same with the UK (£40 + £20 P+P +??? customs) 😢
Hey guys! I am currently working on making this happen! Hopefully by the end of this week!
@@ThisisNOTaSketchbook That's wonderful! Thank you!
@@ThisisNOTaSketchbook
That's amazing!!! 🥰
@@ThisisNOTaSketchbookOh wow! Thanks in advance!
I like the addition of both traditional and modern methods put together. The use of the videos make it easy to understand and follow along. Sometimes the words on the page on their own dont help. And just watching videos alone makes them harder to follow personally. It was fun just watching you follow along and casually sketch!
This looks *really cool* . I wish that there were more books like this that are easily accessible to beginners. I'm going to send this to my art teacher, and I hope that she looks into it. Thank you for sharing!!!!
there absolutely are! if you like that kind of style of book/journal/learnigng to draw for beginners, look up books by Jake Spicer , he's got a few! My favorite is "You Will be Able to Draw Faces by the End of This Book" as I was struggling to find a book on drawing portraits simple enough for beginners, but detailed enough to understand how to draw a portrait and not just copy what you see.
@@tuuurtles thank you for the recommendations! :)
This seems like it’ll help with some of the fundamentals I’m still struggling with, so I went ahead and bought it. I love how it’s something she’s making herself, and it seems like she really put a lot of effort into making it as helpful as possible.
I did :) thank you! Can’t wait for you to try it!
That book looks really cool! It has a lot of activities similar to the activities my high school art teacher (who is great and has helped me grow a lot with my art) has us do.
Thats because it’s based on a very old book called “Drawing on the right side of the brain” by Betty Edwards. Her method has been adapted by innumerable art teachers.
This would be so helpful for those who want to draw, but dont know where to start and how to improve. Like knowing something subconsciously, and not being aware of it until someone explicitly states the thing.
Nice video! I think the concept of having video lessons within the book is cool, but i would honestly prefer that it come on a dvd rather than a qr code. If the website ever goes down or the videos are deleted, then that information is lost. Either a dvd or having transcripts of the videos inside the book i think would be preferable to me since if i buy an artbook, i’m buying it to read, not to watch
Younger me would've LOVE this book so much. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone who wants to get into drawing.
I am digging the long videos! The shorts always get washed away on my feed, but these show up! They’re amazing!! ❤❤
Yay! Thank you!
Omg your videos always make my day better!
That was honestly the best self portrait I have ever seen. It’s amazing wow I don’t know how you do that 😂 Also I will definitely try and get this book. Or art class. Seems like a great way to practice and learn (which I think are basically synonyms, because you learn by practicing. Or maybe synonym isn’t really the right word for that maybe they’re just rather similar words… I don’t know. Anyways I’m rambling now. I love the long form videos, keep up the good work!
That's really cool! Loving to watch your longer videos :)
Thank you for sharing this book. I like the looks of it. It looks very helpful. It is sometimes hard to pick out a book online when you can't flip through the actual pages and see the table of contents, etc. I bought a book last year that I thought used regular pencils. It arrived and it mainly has projects for COLORED pencils. After a few months, I reconciled myself to using it The book you reviewed looks more like what I was looking for.
PS I also have replayed some of your shorts. Some of them have some tangible content. Some are purely inspirational, where you share stuff you have gone through, that we are experiencing or may experience in the future.
I love your long form content! I can't draw to save my life, and even so, this notebook sparked my curiosity. Just today I was thinking of you! The sky had the most GORGEOUS clouds, and I thought, how do you actually _paint_ clouds with _watercolor_ ? I wonder how Scott does it? I loved your video of how to draw eyes! I'd love one about watercolor clouds hehe 🤭🤭
Thank you so much! ♥
It looks like it's a modern version of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. I like it!
Omg I had an art teacher and we just coloured everyday well I had a different art teacher the next year who took the class seriously and helped a lot of students. Thank you Miss Blevins❤❤
Just made an order! If this gets me to finally start drawing again it will be worth every penny.
Thank you for sharing and supporting another person in the art loving community ❤
Hey scott just wanting to let you know i have been practicing drawing and i have been having more confidence in myself and to try bigger and better things
This makes me so happy. ♥
@@ssavaart don't think im weird or anything. But I'm grateful for you
I love this! And your art!
Its after midnight and just scrolling along..i need this for my niece...she's struggling with drawing and wants to be perfect..she needs this in her life
I'm definitely getting this for me and my girlfriend. We've been working on our art together, and this will be a great way to make it more fun. Thanks for the recommendation!
I loved the book and this review I felt the urge to fill those blank spaces. I loved the idea of a sketchbook that guides you through. Thanks for sharing this.
This books looks awesome, definitely going to try to buy it
3:58
Scott: I h@+€ drawing hands
Also Scott: Draws the hand perfectly and very good
The concept of this book is so fantastic! I think the price is well worth it-you’re getting a book and an online course that complement each other. It’s genius!
This looks like a fabulous course! Thanks!
Thank you for this video and for the discount code! I just ordered my art class! ❤
Having a great time with your long form videos. Also been seeing your stuff on tumblr- pretty cool!
Oh. Thanks. I'm enjoying Tumblr
I could definitely see this being something I would have loved as a kid first learning to draw. The qr codes to instructional videos is a really neat idea.
*Man I want that book really badly now*
Fabulous. I would have loved something like this when I was a teenager.
Thank you for giving me something new to try.
I much prefer this long form love it keep it up Scott ❤❤
Wonderfully done Scott! I'll have to check that out.
I saw your video and clicked without thinking...😂 loving the longer format lol
Awesome, thanks
I think this is awesome! I’ll definitely be checking this out
Can you make a video explaining the steps you do when making a painting ❤
Here you go.

@@ssavaart Thank you so much ❤️
That is sooo adorable!!!!!!!! But, I don't have interest in drawing other people's faces, I have interest in filling details, it's like meditation for me.
Especially detailing buildings in cities, I just started.
I love this video! I’ve been watching your content for a while now, so when you showed the chair, I instantly thought “that’s a bad tangent.” XD
You have helped me improve in many ways, thank you. :)
This makes me so happy. ♥
This is an amazing art class
New Scott video!! ❤❤❤❤
What a great idea!
I love this! Definitely on my wish list
In a nutshell, this looks a LOT like Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" without the explanations in print.
these are all the things they taught us in art school, it's so cool to see them again!
Didn't know you posted this. Its great
Genius idea. Im definitely buying this.
Wowza, that's an expensive book! It's definitely more than a book, which I'm sure contributes to the price, but it's more than my low-income wallet can handle. I'm really tempted, though. I'd love a concrete refresher on some of my skills.
Can't waaait for this to come to the Netherlands:D
The first drawing was really cute
I absolutely understand the wanting to draw in an art teaching book. As a kid I would use a pen and go over the numbered step by step contours and guidelines while referencing the end result drawing, I would end up with five drawings of the same dog. I never realized I wasn't even following the rules of the book, I was just happy drawing and leaving my permanent art in a book.
Its 1:11am right now
4:31 PM for me
It’s 4:34 PM for me lol
9:37 PM for me hahahah
8:06 for me
for me right now it’s 7:50
I would like to get this book in the future someday! These kind of books are so fun
Might have to buy two of these :')
This is brilliant, I love this ☺☺☺☺
this is so cute and wholesome
You just gave one tiny comment and now I understand negative space 😂
Awesome review! I'll definitely have a look!
I need this book!!!!
Omg this book is so nice, It might have been so fun!
I didn't except this but i do like it so :D Also first self portrait was so good love it!
This is neat I'm gonna have to find this and buy it for myself!
Thanks for this video, I never would have found this amazing book no art class without it.
The whole video radiates exitement😂😊
Great content!
I would very much appreciate a video about negative space, as I really don't understand it at all, outside of, "the area you don't touch". I've been complimented a few times for my "use of negative space", but I never knew how to react because I had no idea what they were talking about.
Hi. I made one just for you. Did you get to see it?
th-cam.com/video/_OaN6grL3OI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m1gBoc66w7IJ3mtQ
@@ssavaart Yes, yes I did! My apologies for not leaving a comment (I'm a lurker by nature), but thank you very, VERY much for touching base. It helped solidify my understanding of negative space very much... until I watched a video about "tattoo fails", where the narrator commented something about using negative space to shade with, and that lost me entirely.
However, outside of that (and also not knowing if the narrator was just BS'ing), this video helped me realise just what I'm doing that people have complimented, and thus opened my awareness to something I may be able to play with in the future. Rather, something I very likely WILL end up playing with in the future.
Thanks for that :3
@@OlyChickenGuy Absolutely My Pleasure ♥
0:50 Scott Scott Scott! You and I have the same exact wallpaper!!
Looks interesting but the postage to the UK is prohibitive - doubling the cost of the book.
This reminds me of the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.
Nice! Kind of reminds me of The Anti-Coloring Book I had as a child.
I want to get this book at some point but there's one problem though...
In where i am from our method of paying when ordering online items is pay on delivery meaning we only pay if we receive the items first and with no defects or any damage...
“I hate drawing hands” is relatable, it’s a love hate relationship for me. It can be fun but it’s frustrating sometimes. Easy on small formates and hell on big scale. I remember drawing my A4 Wednesday Addams realistic drawing of her playing the cello, I spent the longest on that hand and the face…
I’ll try making it my profile pic so you can see it :)
This looks like a really great learning tool. Unfortunately I think I'd struggle a bit with it- being a leftie, my hand would end up covering the reference! 😢
I guess I could challenge myself by drawing the WHOLE thing upside-down. 😂
Que bonita forma de aprender.
LOVE IT but unfortunately its a bit too expensive for me but will probably get it for a birthday or something ❤
Ooh, I hope this finds its way onto shelves over here!
My name is Lauren as well and the intro made me go WHAT
Its 01:11 here right now 😂😂
Am or pm?
@@Flower_Makez_Stuff am 😭😭 and i have school at 8:00 tomorrow 😭😭
@renskebroeders3560 Relatable… 10:30 pm rn still have to study for an art major exam tomorrow
@@Cat..Person i wish you luck! Im in a panic attack rn bc i have 2 tests tmmr and im scared im gonna fail.
@renskebroeders3560 Oof been there… you can do it. Close your eyes, put on some music you like and breathe. You can do it. Remember what you’ve learned and how much you worked, it might help. What subjects are your tests?
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Nice 🎉❤
This book would cost a total of £64.00 to come to the UK. I think I will wait until her book ever becomes available of AMAZON.
I love the idea of an art-class-book! It really gets me excited to get started learning. Unfortunately shopping is almost the same cost as the book itself (€30) 😭 I'll have to wait until there is an EU distributer.
Hey Marcus! I’m working on a digital download option- those international prices are just killer! It’s actually done, I’m just texting it before I release it :)
That QR code scared me bruh I thought it was a Rick roll
3:26 I remember this short!
Can you do some more shorts please love every video or short you make
I'm making videos almost every day. In case you didn't see them...

0:22 I really thought It was gonna be a rickroll lol
I have a qeistion what are your thoughts on ataleirs and figure drawing
I don't know what ataleirs are. Nothing came up when I searched
I meant ateliers
@@arcane579 I googled that and it says it's French for "workshop".
So you want to know what my thoughts are on workshops?
I'm genuinely trying to answer your question. I just want to make sure I get it right
Okay. I added "figure drawing" to the search and a book came up. Is THAT what you're talking about?
If so. It looks like a good book. I'd never (obviously) heard of it. But it looks well done.
The simple thing about figure drawing is always practice will help you more than any book.
Have you tried the 1 minute figure drawing playlist I have?

Always on the lookout for other people who share my last name! I think it’s awesome :) I’ll have to check this out
Betty Edwards.
Omg im soo early
I am usually not able to watch them this early bcz i live in india and uaually scott posts at ungodly hours lime rn it 5:50am i have not slept yet lol
I went to purchase this, thinking its probably a $25/30 purchase. Yikes, at $50 its not very affordable
Some people only bother to learn art from watching shorts but, you can learn more by watching long type video's
Nice
Unfortunately the shipping costs 25.95 Euro for me. For a book? Really? When will it be available in the EU via Amazon? Thanks, Anni
