Hi, you made me think how amazing it would be to use the transparency in drawing. Perhaps using 3 layers of the paper to draw one image, near view, mid view and far view. Like a cityscape on the bottom layer, cars and people on the second and detail (or all the colour? On another layer). Or a landscape hills and sky on one layer, trees on a second and small florals or wildlife on another. All layered to make one image, but each being something of their own… anyway, just thought I would share. Annie
YES EXACTLY!! I have been doing them with different media and then I thought, “what if I use the notepad to layer them, each sheet for a different medium? I can’t wait to try it and to see what you do!
This is so rad. I really like your idea for the drawing and scientific journal. It reminds me of when I first saw Donnie Darko and how I first saw the Rita Sparrow book she wrote on time travel. I thought maybe it was real, after looking it's not haha Also reminds me of like Quidditch Through the Ages or Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them kind of thing. So cool. I want to buy some of these and can't wait now!!!
Omg yes, the Donnie Darko one! I was definitely inspired after watching Gravity Falls 🤣 but it reminded me of all those books that looks so mystical and mysterious from shows and movies and I’ve just always wanted one!
@@williamcatalano1762 This is something I’m definitely working on: figuring out how to balance the social medias and how to still do longer videos with the short form-it’ll be a challenge but I think I’ll get there!
This is so cool.... i would love to start an "unusual observations" journal.... i really thought you could only write on one side of the onion paper side... i may add one to my Christmas wish list because threes no other way i could afford one.... i love this and love your drawings
New to your channel and thanks for sharing. By the time i discovered the onionskin notebook they are sold out. I have a couple of notebooks with Tomoe River paper the 54 gsm (which is great for drawings and some mediums) Sadly that company no longer is in business and was looking for something like these notebooks and ran across journalers on YT talking about this notebook. Along the way I found some newer channels to watch and get more ideas. Thanks for sharing your journals today.
Thank you for sharing. I just bought one (in blue). I'm having trouble starting it because I love it so much. Seeing your flip though is inspiring. I didn't realize it would handle so many mediums, very cool! You're tan journal . . . awesome idea! It looks so cool! :-)
When I first got the white one and started using it as a sketchbook, I put too much pressure on myself to have everything be beautiful in it. And since I didn’t want it to be covered up in any way, just had to deal with when my drawings didn’t turn out how they wanted 😅 BUT I feel like that taught me more than perhaps I would have learned otherwise!
Thank you so much for watching! When I got my first one, it was what I really wanted to know: what about paint pens? Watercolor? How MUCH ink will it hold?? And since I couldn’t find it, I made one myself 😂
I've been seeing videos about these notebooks all over TH-cam, but didn't pay attention because they are mostly about journaling (writing). I don't think I would keep a diary in this notebook, but the idea of using it as a sketchbook is intriguing. I LOVE the Alien journal you're creating. And creating fantasy world for the one with the map cover is an awesome idea. I want to create an art habit of sketching daily life. This notebook may be on my wishlist now.
Thank you so much!! It actually got me into drawing Bc I love seeing the way the paper “reacts” to whatever medium ive used-and seeing the images lay over each other makes me weirdly pumped to keep going and adding to it? I really want to do the maps idea but I need to see if there’s some “how to do cartography” videos because I really don’t even know where to start. Lately I’ve just been looking up pictures of vintage and fantasy maps to get ideas 😂 Sketching daily has helped me so much!! I used to say that I sucked at drawing people, but I’m on 14/100 people drawings and there’s already improvement! Wowsers the first one was rough though 🤣
But what do I even do! I don’t really travel all that much but I thought about making up places and drawing them? And making up little stories for them?
That was a super nice video. I have my first onionskinpaper journal like yours. You give me Inspiration to work in it. How come that your writing on both sides of the paper is still readable? Mine is not and that is why i don't write on two sizes. Hope you can help me. Thanks for the lovely video❤
I try to write either in between the lines made from the former page or I stick with semi-lighter inks/translucent inks! I use a lot fountain pens so that I can pick different inks for visibility. I hope that helps!
Honestly I’d say the Pilot Metropolitan! You can get it for less than $15, the cartridges come in a number of colors, and it’s been rated as one of the top of the cheaper fountain pens on a number of pen blogs!
@@GrungeGranny thank you I was considering that one or the pilot kokuna very fine tip but is plastic. Good prices maybe both! Hang in there and Happy Holidays to you and your family.
@@marklacombe2170 I love the Kakuno too! It’s adorable but I think the pilot feels more sturdy and weighty even though they’re around the same cost. The cartridges fit each other though, so you could do both!
So that one is made from an actual ox bone-I was looking up bone folders and it popped for me on Amazon and it seems to be from an actual small business that’s using amazon as their store front (like Etsy) but I’m not 100% positive about that. I think you can search “bone dip pen” and surely one will pop up!
It’s one of the most lovely paint pens! Mine are in the fine tip but the palettes of them are sooooo lovely and satisfying. They also go down relatively opaque so they’re my favorite to layer over different mediums!

Love this review, thank you! ✍️🙏
Thank you so much for watching! She just released The Newsie and I’m going to recording something for that one next!
This is gorgeous!
Thank you SO much!!
This is so helpful! I just got my journal and am so excited to dig into this new paper type
I’m so glad!! I tried to make it answer all the questions that I had when I got it and started playing with different mediums on it!

@@GrungeGranny Well keep it up. Maybe do updates on it the further along you get!! I loved seeing them all.

Wow, your art is beautiful. Love this. I’m just a journaler. I love the onion skin paper. Great vid.
Oh wow, thank you so so much!
This is so cool.... i would love to start an "unusual observations" journal.... i really thought you could only write on one side of the onion paper side... i may add one to my Christmas wish list because threes no other way i could afford one.... i love this and love your drawings

I loved this video ❤
Thank you! I’m working on editing another flip through but I’m so slow 😅

Your sketches are wonderful! I watched as I wanted to see how this journal worked as a sketch book so thank you for this video 🙏

@@GrungeGranny thank you again !!
Your drawings are amazing. Love the alien idea. 😍
Oh my goodness, I’m so honored!! Thank you so much!! I really want to show updates to the white one but they aren’t cohesive enough for a video! 😅
@@GrungeGranny can’t wait for the update. 🥰
You’re so talented! Love the alien observation idea too. Subscribed.
Omg thank you! It feels silly but it helped me during quarantine, to treat things with more wonder 😅

I would be very interested if you did a journal with me video on your tan onion skin journal, it's soooo cool!
I made a TikTok! I don’t think most people would want to see all the slow line arting 😂 but I might! I can probably edit it down to at least 20m!
Love this.
Thank you so much!
I love the travel theme idea! 💖
But what do I even do! I don’t really travel all that much but I thought about making up places and drawing them? And making up little stories for them?
I can’t find your channel!! Can you link me to it?
Simply BEAUTIFUL 😍 please share the link for purchasing these lovely journals. Thank you. New subscriber.
You can purchase them on www.remyroad.com ☺️
I cannot believe that I didn’t do that! Doing it now!
Oh thank goodness-I’m still going to add it though! 😂

Incredible!
Thank you! I love these journals SO so much. I just keep wanting to be too precious with them I think!
Your journals are wonderful! What is the grammage (weight) of the paper?
I believe it’s 33gsm!
This is so cool!
I shared your video to my Facebook wall! 💖💖💖💖
Thank you!!
Hi what fountain pens are the best for drawing that are lower priced? Thank you and I love your channel!
Honestly I’d say the Pilot Metropolitan! You can get it for less than $15, the cartridges come in a number of colors, and it’s been rated as one of the top of the cheaper fountain pens on a number of pen blogs!
@@GrungeGranny thank you I was considering that one or the pilot kokuna very fine tip but is plastic. Good prices maybe both! Hang in there and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Whe did you get that cream colored dip pen?
So that one is made from an actual ox bone-I was looking up bone folders and it popped for me on Amazon and it seems to be from an actual small business that’s using amazon as their store front (like Etsy) but I’m not 100% positive about that. I think you can search “bone dip pen” and surely one will pop up!
What is an acrylograph?
Archer&Olive's acrylic paint pens
It’s one of the most lovely paint pens! Mine are in the fine tip but the palettes of them are sooooo lovely and satisfying. They also go down relatively opaque so they’re my favorite to layer over different mediums!
How is that capital letter a G, It looks like a really fancy A
But then, the actual cursive for the capital letter G looks like… a tangled fish line. 🤷🏽♀️
