Sketchbooks are unique to the individual aren’t they!places to play for sure and it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes!I decided to draw my shopping list as I couldn’t think what to do lol!Great tips here Doug..I love fancy writing ..I googled metallic writing in the search and a site called Freepik came up and there’s all sorts of great lettering there or we have your permission to just copy yours Doug!😉 My fave haircuts…giggled along with you🤣but never thought to dedicate a sketchbook to one subject 👍🏻As for your sketches and paintings..you should be proud Doug…you are a proper artist!!Yes with the baseball cap but I think definitely a nice tweed jacket for Sunday best!!We’ve always had the saying do you live in a barn,here in Nottingham..Thanks me duck for sharing!!😆❤️
My husband is 72, and last night at our July 4th of July celebration it was still sunny and hot at 7 p.m. , ball cap is a must to keep the sun out of your eyes! It was 97 F! You’re a young pup!
Doug this is a great channel. I normally watch Danny Gregory of Sketchbook Skool but you have become my favourite. Oh and not sure about cap. Sketchers surely should wear broad floppy hats, its part of the uniform 😆
attack! I have many silly hats so I might mix it up a bit and explore hat based sketching.. thanks for your lovely feed back. I love Danny channel too 😀
Wear the cap! It’s your life! ( a song….? ). I’ve always put short notes to self in my sketchbook. ( only 1 yr old ). Were you an illustrator? During my apprenticeship I was lucky to work with many talented aeroplane illustrators. I was always fascinated watching them create. Thanks
Artist rocking a Deere hat. Sure. You like your heavy metal after all! And yes. They are called leader lines, with or without the dot. Annotations more generally.
I'm a 63 woman and bought my first baseball cap this summer.. go for it. Text in sketchbooks make it more like a comic or magazine..which is great, and to jog your memory later down the line.
My dad is 73 and wears a baseball cap! (Admittedly they are totally plain and are kind of non-descript colours). I think wearing any kind of hat is mostly about having the confidence to carry it off (or to not care) which I guess is why I hardly ever wear hats hahaha
Might be time for a flat cap - celebrate your roots. As for script, I too spent a lot of time at a drawing board, and if you want slavish accuracy and standards compliant lettering those are my sole areas of artistic competence, or were. However, I went to a bit of trouble to develop a more informal style of printing, and found that a good way to practise was doing the crossword every day. When every letter has its own little box you can concentrate on the forms in isolation, and there's no blank page situation to mess with your head.
Hey! John Deere. There's a bit of Americana right there. LOL it clashes with your accent! Well I'm closer to 60. Listen, if you conduct yourself like a gentleman, and wear a cap like a farmer or a pipefitter, well that turns into a bit of style right there.
No to the cap! Why squash your lovely curls?!? A floppy straw hat could work.. All my drawing is in sketchbooks. I'll try to remember to leave space for writing, it looks fabulous in yours. I sign each one even tho they're just for me. Who knows, when I'm long gone they'll be discovered in a box in an attic somewhere, and become famous!
Haha. Thanks Margaret. I really enjoy adding text but often forget too. I think signing your work is great too even in a sketchbook. Keep creating and playing. Thanks for your fabulous comment.
I didn't start wearing a baseball cap until my mid fifties. I also own a deer stalker, although I look bloody stupid in that. I only bought it "because". I'd quite like a bowler hat. Why are we talking about hats? Must've missed that bit.
Haha... love a Deerstalker but that's a tough look to pull off. You kind need a Cape and stick and then your basically committed. It's a bit of like Pith helmets or Charlie Chaplin moustaches. Why am I talking about moustaches? 🤣
@@dougjacksonart I made a small one with a full sheet of watercolor paper....I'm trying to find out what would be a good sketch book overall.... looking forward to your review.... thanks

Thanks so much Beverly. Great idea with that website. I'll check out that website. I do love some Tweed in jacket, hat or waistcoat form. 🤣
@@beverlymarch7916 the idea of drawing your shopping list is a good one, I may try that myself.
Baseball cap looks great. Wear it. Makes you look younger!!
AHHH Thanks 😊
Doug I enjoy your rambling as much as your art. Btw wear what you like, doesn't matter what anyone else thinks imho.
Couldn't agree more. That's why I've just ordered a pair of 40's style wide leg trousers. 🦵
Tweed. Tweed, and more tweed… stylish, traditional, and warm. Definitely the way to go…
Many with a leather belt? No sure about Tweed underwear either...🤣🤣
@@dougjacksonart oooooOoooo… itchy! 🫣

Well bright sunshine is not always a problem we have everyday here. 🤣 Happy 4th of July 🥳
@@dougjacksonart Thank you Doug! Have a wonderful weekend!

I saw two eldery ladies yesterday rocking their baseball caps so I guess you're never too old. Another video with great tips.
Love that! Thanks.
Never too old for a ball cap!😂
OK 👌
Great video! And now I want to see the sketch with all the hairstyles! Also- for me ball caps are for outside! 😀
🤣🤣 My hairstyles sketchbook will be buried with me.

I worked as an industrial designer for a few years. I was drawing pretty much all day everyday.

Great to know I'm not talking complete nonesense 😅🤣
I loved the video, I really like adding text to my sketchbook and these tips will surely help me a lot.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting 🙂

Very true. It also just looks good. 👌
Thank you for the 5 simple and creative tips. 🎉
You are so welcome!
You have to live John Deere! I say go for it! In the Midwest a farmer is never dressed without his favorite “branded” cap.
Quite right too. 😁
I like how you put more than one sketch on a page. Yes! I like the John Deere cap! Daddy taught me to drive a John Deere when I was 15
Very cool!
Never too old for a cap!
OK...Noted 🤣
Love the cap on you. Looks good 👍
Thank you! 🤗
Great Video. Bad hat. Consider a Waxed flatcap🤔
Wise words...I'll continue the research 👌

I know exactly what you mean about the pleasure of crossword script. I have a digital app but it's just not the same.

No, one is never to old to wear what one wants or enjoys. WHY do we let others dictate what we should/shouldn't do?
Super advice 👌
I love baseball caps. Don't know of any age restrictions! And better than sunglasses, too, s people can still see your eyes! Just roll with it.
I just love wearing hats. 'Just roll with it' is a great mantra. 👍
Please, just don't wear the hat backwards. Thanks for the tips on text in the sketchbook.
You are welcome.

What sketch book do you use?....if you like a baseball cap wear it....be happy 😁
So many different types. I'm trying loads at the moment as I'm planning a big sketchbook group test. What do you use Ralph?
