"The only person you should be comparing yourself to is who you where last year..." Amen.THIS is one of the most helpful and encouraging sencteces I've heard in my entire life because I know how much it hurts to look at other people's work and get awfully insecure because they're so much better than you and you still have such a long way to go.You just start to beat yourself up with negativity and it doesn't get you anywhere.You need to focus on YOUR improvement and on what YOU can do. Your words and art are truly amazing Will.Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing!
I buy a lot of sketchbooks, crazy amounts of them, but I almost never draw in them. Get really inspired to put one in my bag and actually try to pic it up and draw when I'm out and get ideas. I have a bad habit of always put to much effort in trying to do perfect drawings and have a hard time letting loose and try new stuff... Thanks for the inspiration!
That moment when you're looking through old stuff in a box and you see an old sketchbook, so you pick it up, expecting to flip through and smile, knowing your progress but then you open it and you just drop it because these drwings are just terrifying and you think to yourself "I drew THAT?!"
I've never thought of comparing myself to my older self, i usually compare myself to better artists so it beats me up n gives me more motivation but gashes my self-esteem. But when i compare myself to my older self its like a pat in the back saying "your doing great, but i know you can do better"
Same. I like looking back on my old drawings, sketches, and artwork and seeing how much I've improved. Also so that I can see what I need to work on and become better at.
I always seem to go back to this sketchbook video! has to be one of my favorites :) the stories you talk about are so interesting and everything else is also very informative for any growing artist. keep it up :)))
Agreed. He's so modest for the quality of his work. But he speaks the truth. Comparing yourself to someone else's work and then getting depressed because it isn't as good or better is perhaps a good indicator of the wrong reason to be doing art. Its a battle with yourself and and the art form. But someday's it does seem hard not to take a look at other ppls work, even just to be inspired!
Whenever I draw I always seem to only draw things so they look "pretty." Like roses, and models. What I love about your drawings is that you can draw anyone and everything and bring out the beauty in them. Its very inspiring, thanks! :D
I get the feeling you really like your work, and I love it that your view on people and their unique personalities changes while sketching. This really makes me want to draw, and I really look forward to making cool artpieces. You're also very right about not comparing yourself to others, it can get you down. Though I can see my own improvement when I look at my previous sketchbooks. Just don't stop drawing is the message!
Will, you my good man are an inspiration to me. I mean, your art is amazing but what makes me even more glad is your incredibly happy spirit. Just a pure good-guy. The world needs more people like you. Thanks! / from a struggling doodler :)
I really love your drawings and your explanations, you are really yourself when you talk and your messages in each videos are really clear. Thanks for sahring your art and your experiences !
Of all of the great and talented visual artists I follow everyday online and in art books, magazines, and on TV with all of their helpful tips, good advice, and how to videos, your advice in this video in my opinion absolutely tops them all, it’s the kind of advice that’s like a great quote that you write down and refer back to throughout your journey of becoming the artist you desire to be, and for that Mr. Terrell, I think you.
Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!!! I really appreciate artists like you on TH-cam who humbly share their work and motivate others to grow :)
Its just crazy ,i am struggling to find a style ,i draw stuff especially disney stuff but i will love to cartoon people or maybe to do caricatures .I just need to figure out where to start
Dania fcb11 just go for it. Try to doodle something first. Don't get too stuck trying to figure out what you'll be drawing when you can just have fun and let the idea come to you organically. Good luck!
I tend to both look through my old art and at others, mostly to get an idea where I stand and whether becoming a professional artist could work if I'm progressing as I am now. It's also very encouraging to see how some that now draw amazing and live off their art where not at all amazing when they where 15/16.
I've always really been into art, but recently I've been getting really interested in it. I love watching videos like these, and because of them I've been learning new techniques. They've helped me develop a style... Even though I'm still working on developing my a style. Thank you for being one of the people who helps me draw.
Thank you for the words of encouragement to other artists. Ive purchased about 3 sketchbooks within the past 5 years. I haven't completed any of them simply because I will get discouraged of I am so focused on making perfect pictures as you mentioned. upon hearing this, I have decided to get over that fear and continue to create regardless.
great video, youre right, the more you do something the better you will get, draw draw draw! I often sketch people when im sitting in my car waiting for my son after school. its cool to do some familiar people and I love that you remember all the people you have drawn. I don't like people to see me sketching though, I hope in time that willchange
just wanted too say that your video's has helped a lot to get back in drawing again, maybe i said this before in another video but when my inspiration gets stuck i watch these video's and get back to drawing , the biggest lesson is just too keep that pen moving and not be too hard on yourself
the more I watch videos from you and other talented artists the more I learn I wish youtube had been around when I was in high school I think I would be a much better artist by now thank you for your great videos
These sketches are amazingly simplistic but so effective in values and style! Thank you for sharing this! It's a good reminder of why my proffs at my uni told us all to keep consistent with our sketchbooks (I've been terrible with that). THANKS!!
Every time, I watch your videos, I get very inspired to draw and draw... I even bought some smaller sketch books for easy cassual and fast sketches. And also some pencils, that I perhaps will never use ( I have my thrusty Rötring 0.5 technical pencil for more than 20 years now, and still works fine). But is is fun, to make scribles, sketch and getting back to drawing each day. Thank you for that!
Great advice about comparing yourself. I have many sketchbooks that I haven't finished. I think because I love to buy them and I have great intentions when I purchase them. " this will be the best sketches I'll ever do and they will all be in this brand new sketch book!" Lol i love seeing finished books. I need to go dig mine out and get back to work. Thanks for the great video. Very helpful.
Just looking at your sketch books inspired me to want to finish one. I always have that problem where I discourage myself a few days after having a sketch book and end up not continuing for months after- and by then I already boxed up the sketchbook in my closet with the other dozen or more I own. I really admire your art, thank you for posting it- and for putting a link for the white gelly roller pens-- I couldn't find a regular gel pen that didn't constantly clog up for my artist trading cards.
I was on deviant art looking at all of the amazing art and was thinking to myself, how on earth will I ever be able to reach those levels of artistry, so your advice about not compering my art to others but instead compering my new work with my older works to gage myself was really what I needed to hear. (P.S. sorry about typo, I meant thank you.)
Hey man, great video. I only just found your videos yesterday, and the second a saw your style I just had to sub. I also really want to say thank you. As an artist, I feel that the most intimate and sincerer thing you can show someone is your sketchbook. It's not like showing someone a crisp, photo shopped version of something you've been making for months, but rather, it's like letting people see into you. Every mistake, every development through trial and error is clearly put out there to anyone who wishes to judge. Seeing you do that and a huge format like TH-cam makes me feel much more confident in showing my sketchbook.I really cannot wait to learn more from you. So, thank you!
This is so inspirational. Your love of people shines through all of your sketches and you're so gifted at capturing the beauty and *character* in everything you draw... amazing!! I'm so happy I found this channel :D
I love the tip about putting your first drawing in the sketch book towards the middle. I don't know what it is but that is something horribly intimidating about a new sketchbook and my first sketch always comes out horribly in it even when I'm in practice and I've been consistent with a daily sketch and drawing. I'm definitely going to do this with one of my new sketchbooks once I fill up my current one. I've been really loving your videos lately and wanted to say thanks! You're fantastic and I super appreciate that you make them for us!
His intro song always takes me back to my childhood where i watched the Disney Pixar shorts with the birds and the old man and also when ratatouille came out. It takes me home....lol
your dialogue was really inspirational. I was comparing myself to other artist and feeling really bad about where I was. but what you said really got to me. compare myself to myself. thanks
Always looking for ways to inspire my students to keep sketchbooks as a way to increase their skills. This video makes that point and is very entertaining to boot! Thanks.
Excellent advice. I was comparing my work with other artists and once you start its difficult to stop. I also like using the brown papers, its works well when creating flesh tones especially when doing ATCs or ACEO's. It is so easy. I am considering just using that color seeing I do so many illustration in human forms. Really nice sketchbook illustrations as well.
Really nice. I have not seen a brown paper sketch book before seems like a nice idea for something a bit different. I have just started to draw again, but this time I use a pencil and keep it very loose and use a eraser a lot to keep things clean enough to see where I might be going. I have some great ideas, and I find your videos to be quiet inspiring.
I am so out of sketchbook practice. Working from home at the Cintiq all day for years has really killed my habits. Not getting out of the house doesn't give me the chances to see so many subjects. I gotta resolve the time to get back into the habit. You're saying so many things I've told others in the past. Time to start taking the advice again!! :)
Will, I just discovered your TH-cam channel & it has quickly become one my favorite ones to watch. You are such an inspiration, & I am well on my way to watching every single one of your videos. I have a problem filling up sketchbooks because I always get hung up on having them be "perfect". I'm going to try just filling one up. Thank you for your motivating videos. They really mean a lot :)
I just fill my sketchbook and is nice to see our practice from the first page to the last. Great cartoons Will, It was nice to meet your work and get more inspiration. Greetings from Colombia!
I love sketchbooks. Its a good habit to just draw in there for an hour a day. I use my sketchbook for all kind of random stuff. Study's of other artists, human body, perspective and random doodles. Really just anything that is in my head for that day. Mine are a lot more messy then what you show here. But the fun thing about them might just be that no two sketchbooks of different people (or even the same person) are the same.
I know what I am going to do this weekend. Pick up a Midtone sketchbook and some supplies. I`m going to go through your channel, to see if you have anything on supplies or technique on how to use markers and pencil crayons. If not, maybe you can throw some light on the supplies you used to color the sketches with. Very cool ! Shared. And Subscribed.
I love your sketches and your advice. It's made me feel better. When I have a sketch book. . .I start in the back and then later I'll start the front. . .and then slowly meet in the middle lol. it always throws people off because the middle will be empty and I'll tell them keep going there is more. :3
I love your artwork so much. You've helped me through a lot of art slumps lately, so I'm glad I learned about you. Haha, that cat visit was totally unexpected. I wasn't paying attention to the video for a few seconds (I tend to just listen to you talk most of the time now, woops) and came back to that. I admittedly squealed with joy.
Love the first picture in the sketchbook. I am ALMOST positive that I was talking to you at the Comic Con as you were drawing the steampunk girl (2:01). Been moving through all your videos, liking your work and insights. Keep it up.
I have to say, I have spent at least double my normal amount on art supplies since I saw your art tools video, but I just HAVE TO GET A MID-TONE SKETCHBOOK NOW!
My lecturer showed us your videos yesterday and thought that you'll be one of those artists I should look up to. I'm currently studying animation :D Your sketches and caricatures are awesome btw! Cheers!
I want so badly to draw like Y O U! You are such an inspiration, when I say "draw like you" of course I mean in my own developed style but I want to draw like THIS! Fun characters, I love it! This sketchbook's paper is beautiful and I love the size of it. When you laugh, it makes me smile! You seem like a truly genuine person, I can proudly say... I am your biggest fan!
You are a really good artist. You have inspired me to keep going even when I was just about to give up on becoming the great artist I have always wanted to be. The sketchbook idea is awesome. I will have to try it some time. Thank you so much so posting this vid
Just now, I was feeling pretty low and Ill-confident bout my own artistic abilities.. Some days my sketches look like sh*t but looking at your sketches cheered me up n inspired me to strive to do better. Thanks for your wonderful posts. P. S: subscribed. Keep em sketchbooks coming!
Love you're drawings! I usually get jealous of people who draw so good. But I know that they have practised alot. I have been drawing since I was 3 though but I still got alot to learn to become really good
I don't know if I'm the only one .. but I feel like I'm scared to use my sketch book or even draw! I've been wanting to make a comic book since I was a kid. I have tons of ideas and stories but I've never make one! there's always something holding me back from drawing ! every time I decides to start making my own comic ! I keep telling myself that I have to wait until I improve my skills ! tho I really improved alot during all of these years .. but I guess I'm just weird x'D
I know what you mean, just practice, practice practice. I know the feeling of wanting to hold the idea until you're really good, afraid of messing it up. xD But you gotta do dat sketchbook. ^^ I was in the same boat, I just finally said "Whatevs" and just started sketching! ^^ So go for it, and I also learned that if I say "Ahh, I'm gonna mess this up", I end up messin' in up! xD So (Sounds cheezy but) really believe that you can do it, and you'll be happy with the results!
Madao I OMG, I am just the same.. I understand you so well! I have a sketchbook for 4 months now and I only filled 1 pg since I'm scared in messing up...
will thanks for the great videos. can you do a video showing some of your work from when you were starting out and talk about any obstacles you had to overcome to refine your technique into what it is today?
I love your laugh! haha Also this was really inspiring for me to watch. I'm always so critical of my sketchbook stuff, because frankly it stinks. But this inspired me to practice a lot, and not worry about my sketches looking messy or unfinished..or strange. XD Awesome video. And awesome art!
thankyou so much for sharing and lovely inspirational words. My main problem is that im not drawing and painting enough! I worry so much about being rubbish I become so scared of that blank piece of paper I don't do anything with it. Its like im afraid my soul is going to get laugh at by others or even myself. its hard to explain, but anyway your words have helped me to be more confident with my art. Thank you again!
XD I love ur drawings, each person is so different! I should keep a little sketchbook with me so I dont have to lug my big one around. Your tips really help, thanks 😊
Hey will started watching your videos yesterday and I must say I'm a huge fan and you have had a ton a great advise that I am starting to use for my sketchbook
"The only person you should be comparing yourself to is who you where last year..."
Amen.THIS is one of the most helpful and encouraging sencteces I've heard in my entire life because I know how much it hurts to look at other people's work and get awfully insecure because they're so much better than you and you still have such a long way to go.You just start to beat yourself up with negativity and it doesn't get you anywhere.You need to focus on YOUR improvement and on what YOU can do.
Your words and art are truly amazing Will.Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing!
Watches his sketch book, Watches mine sketchbook. Watches his, Watches mine. Throws mine in the bin. Tries not to cry. Cries a lot.
***** Links Please?
indrit9 google it please?
***** Watches the old sketchbook of Will. Decides mine stays in the bin.
you cant
+indrit9 don't compare your art to other art.

Am I the only one who think that his plump person drawing is so cute? Many ppl like skinny drawing but totally in love with this 😃
I think people draw people skinny because it's easier then drawing curves.
+Madison Mcconkey
And skinny people are also usually a lot more attractive to most people...
+Madison Mcconkey I like drawing larger women or women with larger hips and maybe some stomach.I can draw Skinner people I just prefer these.
I love drawing fat people
Just some reason it's so great to
+Madison Mcconkey drawing curvy women is fun! I love drawing all kinds of bodies :-)!
Jeez.
You have such a bubbly personality when it comes to artwork.
It's really inspiring.
That moment when you're looking through old stuff in a box and you see an old sketchbook, so you pick it up, expecting to flip through and smile, knowing your progress but then you open it and you just drop it because these drwings are just terrifying and you think to yourself "I drew THAT?!"
#relatable
God..... I can feel the embarrassment now...
Yes my mother had a proud face showing me my elementray drawings she kept for years and I ... "FUAHAHAHHAHA WHO DREW THAT?!?!"
"You.."
"..."
I've never thought of comparing myself to my older self, i usually compare myself to better artists so it beats me up n gives me more motivation but gashes my self-esteem. But when i compare myself to my older self its like a pat in the back saying "your doing great, but i know you can do better"
Same. I like looking back on my old drawings, sketches, and artwork and seeing how much I've improved. Also so that I can see what I need to work on and become better at.

Will Terrell I have a sketchbook and it has a TON of horses in it😄
Agreed. He's so modest for the quality of his work. But he speaks the truth.

"in real life" I can only imagine! Your stuff's great. What I really enjoy is the personallity that gives life to each sketch.
I bow down to your greatness. Wow! You've really inspired me to go play in my sketchbook and practice drawing again!
I really love your drawings and your explanations, you are really yourself when you talk and your messages in each videos are really clear. Thanks for sahring your art and your experiences !
I love how you just crack up as you flip through the book- it's like you are reliving a giant inside joke!
I love comparing my drawings to old ones, it just gives you the sense of knowing you're getting better. I love it so much!

I tend to both look through my old art and at others, mostly to get an idea where I stand and whether becoming a professional artist could work if I'm progressing as I am now.
It's also very encouraging to see how some that now draw amazing and live off their art where not at all amazing when they where 15/16.

I absolutely love "The Mall" sketch! Amazing illustrations!
I love the tip about putting your first drawing in the sketch book towards the middle. I don't know what it is but that is something horribly intimidating about a new sketchbook and my first sketch always comes out horribly in it even when I'm in practice and I've been consistent with a daily sketch and drawing.

The shapes and silhouettes are so diverse! And your use of colour is amazing. One of the best sketchers I've seen :)
That was awesome. Love seeing the sketches that didn't work out fully. Gives me insight I need to persevere. Great work!
Hey Will, wow love how your art has evolved. The style you're using now reminds me of Gerald Scarfe.
I absolutely love all the colour in this sketchbook! :D This is defenitely my favourite of your sketchbooks.
Always looking for ways to inspire my students to keep sketchbooks as a way to increase their skills. This video makes that point and is very entertaining to boot! Thanks.
Excellent advice. I was comparing my work with other artists and once you start its difficult to stop.

I am considering just using that color seeing I do so many illustration in human forms. Really nice sketchbook illustrations as well.
I love your sketch book. Its so different then what I am use to seeing others draw. All different shapes. Awesome.
I love your art man, it really inspires me to improve my own art to get to your level.
Really nice. I have not seen a brown paper sketch book before seems like a nice idea for something a bit different. I have just started to draw again, but this time I use a pencil and keep it very loose and use a eraser a lot to keep things clean enough to see where I might be going. I have some great ideas, and I find your videos to be quiet inspiring.
Watching your videos has REALLY put me in the drawing mood! I love to draw already, but they just make me want to practice more and improve my skills!
I like your advise because it does impacts us who you are when you grow as a artist.

I just fill my sketchbook and is nice to see our practice from the first page to the last. Great cartoons Will, It was nice to meet your work and get more inspiration. Greetings from Colombia!
you have a very humane eye.Your work reminds me that cartooning is one of the most powerful forms of portraiture.Excellent work,sir.
The last picture is spot on just like my dad. Same hat and everything!
I love sketchbooks. Its a good habit to just draw in there for an hour a day. I use my sketchbook for all kind of random stuff. Study's of other artists, human body, perspective and random doodles. Really just anything that is in my head for that day.
Mine are a lot more messy then what you show here. But the fun thing about them might just be that no two sketchbooks of different people (or even the same person) are the same.

Very cool ! Shared. And Subscribed.
Whoops...You`re already ahead of me. Thanks for the links on the supplies you used and your techniques ! Awesome, Will !
I love your sketches and your advice. It's made me feel better. When I have a sketch book. . .I start in the back and then later I'll start the front. . .and then slowly meet in the middle lol. it always throws people off because the middle will be empty and I'll tell them keep going there is more. :3
I love your artwork so much. You've helped me through a lot of art slumps lately, so I'm glad I learned about you.
Haha, that cat visit was totally unexpected. I wasn't paying attention to the video for a few seconds (I tend to just listen to you talk most of the time now, woops) and came back to that. I admittedly squealed with joy.
I love your drawings, so full of life, so full of joy and so full of love. Thnak you for sharing.
this inspired me to get a mid tone sketchbook, and try something new. i think it was the best decision in my life as an artist:) thank you so much!
completely open my eyes to drawing in sketch books, can't wait until my brown A4 book comes from amazon
Love the first picture in the sketchbook. I am ALMOST positive that I was talking to you at the Comic Con as you were drawing the steampunk girl (2:01). Been moving through all your videos, liking your work and insights. Keep it up.
***** yes sir
I have to say, I have spent at least double my normal amount on art supplies since I saw your art tools video, but I just HAVE TO GET A MID-TONE SKETCHBOOK NOW!
Your design sense and shapes are sooo good
My lecturer showed us your videos yesterday and thought that you'll be one of those artists I should look up to. I'm currently studying animation :D
Your sketches and caricatures are awesome btw! Cheers!
I want so badly to draw like Y O U! You are such an inspiration, when I say "draw like you" of course I mean in my own developed style but I want to draw like THIS! Fun characters, I love it! This sketchbook's paper is beautiful and I love the size of it. When you laugh, it makes me smile! You seem like a truly genuine person, I can proudly say... I am your biggest fan!
I can honestly say after being with Will at the Denver comic con I gained a lot of knowledge from him as an artist from an artist. Thanks Will.
I look at your videos and learn something new each time. Thanks bro.
I been good but steady learning.
You are a really good artist. You have inspired me to keep going even when I was just about to give up on becoming the great artist I have always wanted to be. The sketchbook idea is awesome. I will have to try it some time. Thank you so much so posting this vid
Your sketchbook is so fun and inspiring. I love how you're not afraid to make your characters look silly. :)
i love your work, i'm applying for UK universities at the moment and have been browsing sketchbooks just had to comment on yours :) adore the style
Just now, I was feeling pretty low and Ill-confident bout my own artistic abilities.. Some days my sketches look like sh*t but looking at your sketches cheered me up n inspired me to strive to do better. Thanks for your wonderful posts. P. S: subscribed. Keep em sketchbooks coming!
your talented man, from one artist to another, I am a fan.
You rule, guy! Thanks to you I'm going to start drawing again after stopping for more than 10 years, gonna be rusty!
your style and coloring skills are incredible....soooo good...thanks for the inspiration
Love you're drawings! I usually get jealous of people who draw so good. But I know that they have practised alot. I have been drawing since I was 3 though but I still got alot to learn to become really good
I love your style, its so awesome. I wish i could draw the way you do. Its only fit that you are my favorite TH-cam artist.
OMG i love your videos. Whenever o feel lazy and don't want to draw, i just watch one of your videos
I can't be the only one who danced to the intro song
I did 🐴
Fairy tail!
U know what the song is?
OMG THANK GOD IM NOT ALONE THERE
....love ur stuff mr. Terrell!! U keep me in stitches, but most importantly; u inspire & motivate me!! Thank u!!!
I don't know if I'm the only one .. but I feel like I'm scared to use my sketch book or even draw! I've been wanting to make a comic book since I was a kid. I have tons of ideas and stories but I've never make one!
there's always something holding me back from drawing ! every time I decides to start making my own comic ! I keep telling myself that I have to wait until I improve my skills ! tho I really improved alot during all of these years .. but I guess I'm just weird x'D
I know what you mean, just practice, practice practice. I know the feeling of wanting to hold the idea until you're really good, afraid of messing it up. xD But you gotta do dat sketchbook. ^^ I was in the same boat, I just finally said "Whatevs" and just started sketching! ^^ So go for it, and I also learned that if I say "Ahh, I'm gonna mess this up", I end up messin' in up! xD So (Sounds cheezy but) really believe that you can do it, and you'll be happy with the results!
Madao I OMG, I am just the same.. I understand you so well! I have a sketchbook for 4 months now and I only filled 1 pg since I'm scared in messing up...
Just remember that you don't have to show anyone and that sketchbooks are for messing around and experimenting.
i loved the way you remember things... like i felt like you love doing that... that was really nice!!
will thanks for the great videos. can you do a video showing some of your work from when you were starting out and talk about any obstacles you had to overcome to refine your technique into what it is today?
I love your laugh! haha
Also this was really inspiring for me to watch.
I'm always so critical of my sketchbook stuff, because frankly it stinks.
But this inspired me to practice a lot, and not worry about my sketches looking messy or unfinished..or strange. XD
Awesome video. And awesome art!
I did like your stile ! You are very good ! The expressions of the caracters are so amazing !!!
Very inspiring sketches Willlllll ! I know this is an old video, but that is the thing with art - it stays forever ! : )
thankyou so much for sharing and lovely inspirational words. My main problem is that im not drawing and painting enough! I worry so much about being rubbish I become so scared of that blank piece of paper I don't do anything with it. Its like im afraid my soul is going to get laugh at by others or even myself. its hard to explain, but anyway your words have helped me to be more confident with my art. Thank you again!
awesome! made me really want to try a midtone sketchbook, my next one will be a midtone one! Love your drawings!
XD I love ur drawings, each person is so different! I should keep a little sketchbook with me so I dont have to lug my big one around. Your tips really help, thanks 😊
Your art style is amazing and very fun to watch.
Great to see someone use their talent and sharing it. Awesome work :) it gave me inspiration to start my own sketch book. Keep it up, I see great work
