I love your videos! Even when I don't paint along they are so inspiring :) thank you Toby

What pen is being used please?

This has opened my mind. Thank you!

It's a little bit like "zentangles". I'm learning to relax and not judge every mark I put on the paper. Starting to have fun making marks on paper and being pleasantly surprised with how it ends up. Thanks!

I’ve missed making my own this Christmas 🙁 However, there are birthdays not far off into the new year - thank you for the idea 💡 🙂

Toby, do you have a recommendation for a pen/nib for a beginner that would be economical (one with an internal well, of course)? Along with that, recommended ink brands?

Gosh, Toby, I enjoy your line-work and rationale and suggestions.

I love how easy and accessible you make sketching. How you make the complex so simple. And your wonderful teaching style that encourages me to leap in and continue to learn and develop. Merry Christmas to you, Tash and Betty.

I’ve got a brand new free course, find it here - www.sketchloose.co.uk/become-an-artist-in-just-one-week - one week of sketching fun

Love it Toby … you’ve given me a great idea for a nice little stocking filler! Just needs a lovely frame and job done. :) Thanks again.

Welcome to Japan!🎉

Merry Christmas mate!

Thank you Toby, this film of yours speaks directly to me! I always struggle with larger pieces of paper and - for now at least - I am doing better with tiny scraps because I am simply unable to procrastinate over DETAIL. My little sketches, which are usually tinted with watercolours, no longer have room for much detail and at long last my sketches are starting to look like art rather than bad photographs! I’m writing this at quarter past midnight but will have another watch tomorrow with pen and small scraps of paper to hand. Happy Christmas Toby, to you and yours 🎄

You set me at ease with your drawings and allow me to believe that I can do the same. I like the idea of using little scrap cards of paper so it's not overwhelming. Merry Christmas, and thank you for a lot of wonderful videos this year. Bless you.

Great lesson

I just wish you show a larger, maybe full screen, view of the photo you're painting.

Love the simplicity

Great idea. I love your videos.

Love the simplicity of the method and your easy to follow presentation

Thank you, Toby as usual, brilliant and inspiring

These tiny sketches are great fun Toby - I must try them out. Happy Christmas to you,Tash and Betty and thank you for all your wonderfully entertaining and educational videos over the last 12 months. 🙏 Thanks Martin

Thanks, Toby! The perfect video to start the day. And precisely what I needed right now as I continue to struggle with the challenge of loosening up my drawing. I loosen up but keep finding myself getting sucked back in to being too tight and overly detailed. Anyway, a great reminder once again from you lighten up and llet go! Cheers and happy holidays.

Thank you Toby, you are great at giving me confidence to try drawing and painting. And best of all they always turn out well 😊

Loved joining you in this! Thank you! I haven't tried watercolor pencils yet, but now I will. : )

It was fun to sketch along with you. Thank you for sharing Toby!

I love my little lighthouse card that you popped into my purchase. Its stuck on the kitchen tiles with washi tape....

I love how easily understandable your instructions are. You make things make so much sense to where it sticks! A very good teacher!

Free lessons where pls

Rugby chicken with pigs in vodka sounds like a grand olde Christmas dinner to me. Merry Christmas guys, from Pork Pie Land. xx

Always very relaxing and encouraging. Thanks for all these.

Loved this video! So realistic and really lovely sketches!

Simon was having whiskey with his pigs in a blanket!

Toby at his best. Oh to be that confident and good

Fountain pens are a subculture. You only ever need one more. 😂

Hello from Australia!! 🤠😎🇦🇺

I love that you both include your puppies in your videos!

Brilliant!! This was soooo much fun! You are an excellent teacher. I'm just starting your 10 Days of Sketching course, too!

i'm using your inspiration and making cards for family this year. it's so fun, affordable, creative and it's wonderful to share this time with you, watching and listening to your ideas. thank you. happy holiday from the USA

Boby shapes are one that but what it the building has a protruding bay shaped front? E.g. a style shape. Do you use shading or colour to show this... Kindest regards Mick T😊,?

I love these Toby! I’ve been making cards with these fun doodles. Thank you!

These videos would be so much more useful if these were not sped up.

What a goldmine of information! Thank you so much!

Thanks Toby.

These doodles are so fun! Looking at your fountain pen made me wonder what pen did you buy in Tokyo? What was the name of the store? We are heading to Tokyo for Christmas, and i think i might need a new pen, lol!

I am making cards for 9 cards (for family and friends) inspired by yours; I have added backgrounds and may add headings and will write using a fanciful script I found - may even include a sort of logo with my initials .. Thank you. I am having fun and like the results. I did not use wc paper but they have worked out surprisingly well. with time, I feel more and more relaxed about the line-making. Thanks, Toby.

Inspiring artistic 'nonsense' - how free one can get? Just watching you trying things out made me want to grab a pen too. Thanks

FANTASTIC!

you make me laugh with the invitation to judge you for the artificial tree, the Grinch!
