I actually started making sketchbooks just cuz watercolor sketchbooks are so pricey and then to recycle old paper I had lying around. I'm hooked now cuz commercial sketchbooks don't have that look, ya know, the look 👌 I just use coptic stitch with chipboard covers. all u need is paper, board, thread and some time. Best part is that they lay completely flat. sea lemon, here on YT has some awesome tutorials. def recommend.
Really love how your sketchbook turned out, can't wait to see what you drew in it! I have made a couple sketchbooks myself, have to admit it's kind of a relaxing process.
I love making sketchbooks / notebooks...I buy cheap sketchbooks at the dollar store and cut them down, and I typically wrap the covers in either canvas or some cute tea towel or pillow case fabric, both also from the dollar store.
I made a sketchbook a few years ago and am stil in the process of sewing together some signatures (aaah, procrastination~), but I found a great help with binding to be Sea Lemon's channel and I think Oliver's Antics and PearFleur both a video or two about home made sketchbooks
Last summer I made a sketchbook (although I still haven't filled it cause yk struggles) and it took me a couple days, mainly cause it was quite big and the binding took forever. I cut out the pages of an old hardback book and used that as the cover, also i covered it with some old curtain material n it looks pretty swaggy ngl. My favourite part about making sketchbooks for sure is the customization mine has loads of pockets and ribbons n stuff lol
Gonna make me act up and make my own sketchbook- This video was really inspiring, i never knew just creating the sketchbook would be this interesting! Also you look really pretty in this video :00
I remember my first homemade sketchbook being something made of Printer paper, old gift wraps and staples,, qwq i used it mainly as a travel sketchbook ah goodtimes
a couple days ago I had the same urge of making a homemade sketchbook again omg 😂 yours turned out super cute!! love the stickers too, they're pretty sus 👀
You should totally check out Matthew Sorgie’s thicc sketchbook that he made. It’s really awesome! You also did a really great job for your first time!!!
I made a sketchbook using a tutorial by: Sea Lemon I heard about it from another artist I subscribed to on here its a different process from the one you showed but it's also a good one! 😊
I liked he video for 2 reasons: 1. I love diy making and I'm almost out of sketchbooks. 2. MY GIRL HAD A BAKUGOU PILLOW AT 6:39 SO OF COURSE I WILL LIKE IT!!!
Heey!! I just discovered your channel and this is the second video I watched after the filling your sketchbook tips. Absolutely loving it! I have tried making a sketchbook my own before. I had an A4 sketchbook (I don’t usually like big sketchbooks) so I cut few paper, folded them, stitched and I had a new sketchbook :D sadly it’s not filled yet even though it’s very few pages. I use a ruler and a cutter to clean the edges, they usually come out cleaner. But you may also need to sand them in some cases. Thanks for the video! Makes me want to make another sketchbook and trying different paper in one :)
This is totally unrelated to the video but youve inspired me to draw more! It’s been really hard for me to draw lately cause I can’t seem to fill my sketchbook and get my characters and people to look the way that I want to but you keep me motivated to keep trying again. Your art is amazing and really does inspire me. So thank you so much for doing what you do. I hope your having an amazing night/day/evening/morning! :)
Awww your sketchbook came out so cute!!!!and Also really neat and organized!!! I made one in 2016? And I still haven't finished it bc its a lil ugly looking and it's toned paper LOL also I made the mistake of issuing so much paper x.x plz send help
It's actually so cool that you can create such beautiful things yourself😳. When I first saw this sketchbook I was sure it was from shop, the quality is really amazing! P. S. The outdoor filming setting is nice :D
I only made one crappy notebook thingy, but I've been thinking about making a sketchbook recently, since I can't really find one that would be 100% perfect
I'm early :D and I have one thing to say: I believe in Tiger supremacy(like one should) And I know for a fact that I'm gonna get inspired by this and then cry cuz it failed
I used a pallet from Artistrove that I got on Amazon for a really long time, I highly recommend cheap little potable pallets like that (especially if you like water brushes). They're really functional!
It's a constant effort 😭 I recommend using some hair color along with your conditioner when you shower, It helps a lot to keep the color fresh :3 If you have dark hair and your roots grow out all brassy, using purple shampoo also helps to even out the color a lot (my roots get s o yellow and it's gross)
@@PricklyAlpaca Omg 🤧🤧 That's gonna help me A LOT Thank U so much 👉👈💟💟💟💟💟💞💞💓💞💓💞 I did not know about the shower thing. Definely gonna try It LOVE UUU Keep Up with your great art :3💞💞
Hey I love watching your videos! But this is more of a non art question tho I’m sorry ;-; I’ve been looking for a good pink hair dye and I was wondering what brand you use? Thanks Prickly for the content! ❤️✨
Thank youu! 💕 Glad you're enjoying it I use the color Frosé from Arctic Fox! It's really good and comes in large bottles so you can keep the color fresh for a while. I highly recommend it but you do have to get your hair pretty light to get it to show up well. I bleach mine to about a level 9 or 10 but my hair is extremely tolerant of bleach.
@@PricklyAlpaca Thank you so much for the tips and advice! I look forward for your videos each week because they really help my art and it’s so good to see you back! Love the sketchbook and can’t wait for the tour when you’re ready
I got them on eBay! I bought them kind of impulsively, so in the future I'd probably check to make sure they aren't stolen art or anything before purchasing
I have questions for ur sketchbooks. I recently finished a I thought to be 70-60lb sketchbook and want to do a sketchbook that the same but bigger online it says 74lb but acts very bad to worpping and lot of colour shadowing. I'm only on my 3rd ish page when I did some tests cause. its annoying to buy a expensive (its 11x14) sketchbook and not be able to use it properly do you know of anything to help other then using a decent acrylic paint to cover this and and extra sheet or two under the page?
😭 yooo I rewatched ur video on how to fill a sketchbook and I’m really really sorry but I pressed a button that took ur like away I’m so sorry I don’t know how to fix it Other than that thank u for making videos and loving ur pink hair ( and ur kitty cat)
I used to to that and it's totally fine! Especially if your products bleed through the pages. I used to do it and the only reason I draw on both pages now is bc I like doing two page spreads and whatnot :3
Kira: ...the sketchbook is probably gonna be full because there are only like 24 pages Me: ....It's taken me several months to fill 10 pages in a 200 page A 3 sketchbook Also me: *surprised pikachu face*
I have also made my own homemade sketchbook too! I took some paper from my normal sketchbook and folded them Then, I painted the top piece of paper and the back one to make the cover, and finally I glue the folded area of the papers together now you have a crappy “sketchbook”

Hopefully I can get the tour out soon and not take a month lmao
@@PricklyAlpaca I'll look forward to it but please don't feel any pressure !!!
@@PricklyAlpaca it took 6 months lmao
It looks so good

That's really cool!
I might try that method on my next sketchbook :3
awe yeeeeAHHHHH this has the vibest vibe 💖
also give us the sketchbook tour soon or I will scream
Thank u bb 😘❤️💕💜
I like the result ❣actually all of my sketchbooks are homemade 😚
I used to make sketchbooks myself at the beginning. I used thicker printer paper and used wood glue to keep the pages together.
Oh that turned out pretty nifty! Can't wait to see what's inside!
When you get the notification in your online science class: Welp, who cares about my science grades, I don't. Now lemme watch this

That sounds super cool tbh, I definitely wanna make a larger sketchbook to work on seriously filling soon :3
This is awesome! I have these huge sheets of mixed media paper and the size is WAY huge for me. If I cut them, I can make ‘em into a sketchbook!!! :D
The new outdoors filming spot is great
Can’t wait to see the sketchbook tour!!
This is the kinda Goblin Artist Vibe i love !
Your makeup is ✨flawless✨, just like your sketchbook!
Awee thank u 😘
@@PricklyAlpaca 💖
I'd usually skip ads but this is the advertising content i like to see
We love a homemade project 👏👏 Imma make tiny sketch books 😂
all of your videos have a chill/meme vibe to them and i love it
still pretty busy with my current sketchbook, but im definitly getting back to this
Gonna make me act up and make my own sketchbook- This video was really inspiring, i never knew just creating the sketchbook would be this interesting!
Also you look really pretty in this video :00
Go for it, it's definitely super fun and it doesn't even take that long!
And thank u so much ahh 💕❤️
awesome
So cute and fun! I like the method of sewing the pages together at the fold though. It lays flat better and uses all of the page ❤️
YAY NEW VIDEO! Your sketchbook turned out so cute, I LOVE THE FOREST and also your ads?? Peak marketing skills
Thank youu 💕❤️
I remember my first homemade sketchbook being something made of Printer paper, old gift wraps and staples,, qwq i used it mainly as a travel sketchbook ah goodtimes
Aah I use to do that to it my childhood
im watching this to fall asleep because this is more peaceful than my life rn
Never even thought of making my own! What a great idea! Definitely going to try this at some point
I love how it ended up looking! Now I am definitely going to make my own sketchbook
Dude, I'm already making my own and it's been a slow process but it's coming out good.
GOT THE NOTIFICATION DURING HISTORY-
well, ig this this is my life now. :)
a couple days ago I had the same urge of making a homemade sketchbook again omg 😂
yours turned out super cute!! love the stickers too, they're pretty sus 👀
you are so cool!!
wow i loved your hair!
I always made my own sketchbooks and i love it
We need more videos like this!!!!
You should totally check out Matthew Sorgie’s thicc sketchbook that he made. It’s really awesome! You also did a really great job for your first time!!!
Thanks for the tip, that sounds awesome I'll definitely check it out 😀✨
@@PricklyAlpaca Np!
Nicely done with the video
Thank you :3
This is inspiring me to make a sketchbook
Congrats on 61k! I'm finally early!😂 Keep making vids and keep on inspiring ppl like me! ♡
Also, the quality :O
SeaLemon makes some amazing bookbinding videos. If you're looking for any bookbinding tips, she's the one to go to.
Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out ✨
Your videos are so soothing 😌
I would like to try something like this someday, this is really inspiring :)

Hell yeah sketchbook making is so fun! I've made six so far :D
That's awesome ✨
I can't wait to make more honestly it's super fun
I've made many as well. Never used any of them lmao
This is so cool!! I've made a sketchbook before with a book cover, I might just make another sketchbook!!
Thats really cool!
the outdoor filming is fun as long as you don't get eaten by cats in the deep dark forest dude
AAA This made me want to make a sketchbook :0
This is awesome, you really inspired me to try and do this myself!
your hair looks like a cotton candy, its cool
Thank you 💕
Awww your sketchbook came out so cute!!!!and Also really neat and organized!!! I made one in 2016? And I still haven't finished it bc its a lil ugly looking and it's toned paper LOL also I made the mistake of issuing so much paper x.x plz send help
Surely I can do my job while giving this video 80% of my attention, right?
P.S. The tempestuous winds lend the audio a certain lo-fi charm.
Omg your hair is so cute!!!
Thank you!
omg this turned out amazing... i tried this once but failed miserably, i might try again and follow along with you!!!
Go for it! It's a lot easier if you have some decent materials ✨
The glue I used isn't cheap at all, but it's excellent for bookbinding
AHhhhh congrats on 61k!! :D
Also if you dont post a sketchbook tour I will be mad 😤 (jk)
ILYYY 💗
Thank you! 💕
Don't worry, I will! I only have 2-3 pages left in this one so expect one in the next few weeks :3

Dude .. a tip you could have glued the paper. That's what I did came out amazing ❤️ soo.just sayin
Instead of sewing?
I might try that in the future but I was just winging it with this one. I'm pretty okay with how it came out :3
@@PricklyAlpaca ❤️❤️❤️ I love you soooooo soooo much!

And I know for a fact that I'm gonna get inspired by this and then cry cuz it failed
We do indeed support Tiger supremacy on this channel 🙏
Yes thank you! But I have a question: What water color do you use? Or what’s a good cheap watercolor for beginners?
I used a pallet from Artistrove that I got on Amazon for a really long time, I highly recommend cheap little potable pallets like that (especially if you like water brushes). They're really functional!
@@PricklyAlpaca Thank you so much!
YAY!
a sketchbook can NEVER have too many stickers
Can you make a vid on how you did the stiching
I painted my hair pink a Week ago and I DON'T KNOW HOW DO YOU KEEP YOUR HAIR SO GORGEOUS KSKDJDJDJDKSK

I bought them kind of impulsively, so in the future I'd probably check to make sure they aren't stolen art or anything before purchasing
Rajiv surrendra is great if anyone wanted to know the proper stitching method for book binding
can u put a link to the sticker pack pls?

Bruh I need to make a homemade sketch book now. It would look like crap but I’m so freaking bored.
A Tiny ATeez
Since watching this video last week I have made seven sketchbooks already...
Im early early
What do I say?😀
Hi :)
I recently made a mini sketchbook using the coptic stitch method ^^ it's a very popular one explained by sea lemon on ytb
I'm now thinking of making sketchbook and selling them💖💖💖💕💕💕
Go for it!
HI THERE, JUST ASKING, is it normal that I draw on the right side only on my sketchbook 😩🤌 I feel like I’m wasting
I used to to that and it's totally fine! Especially if your products bleed through the pages. I used to do it and the only reason I draw on both pages now is bc I like doing two page spreads and whatnot :3
Kira: ...the sketchbook is probably gonna be full because there are only like 24 pages
Me: ....It's taken me several months to fill 10 pages in a 200 page A 3 sketchbook
Also me: *surprised pikachu face*
Me too
I wanna do this now :3
Also because I don’t want to wrongly refer to you, what pronouns do you prefer💕
Love youuuu
Go for it, it's super fun!
And my pronouns are she/her
i really like your eyebrows... that sounds weird...
Awe thank you ✨
why am I always late to stuff
also that one stupid dislike is really annoying as I keep staring at it with anger
I have also made my own homemade sketchbook too!
I took some paper from my normal sketchbook and folded them
Then, I painted the top piece of paper and the back one to make the cover, and finally I glue the folded area of the papers together
now you have a crappy “sketchbook”
I make small sketchbooks.
You seem like a bird kind of person, you know?
I get that actually
