Hi Leigh. Thank you so much for this video. I am just beginning art and drawing. I have been experimenting with brush and ink. I have not been able to find many resources except comic book inkers which look very detailed. Your video is just what I have been looking for. Beautiful long, free lines with variable line width. Just what I would imagine the brush is great for. Thank you for the real time demonstration, near vertical brush tip and brush away so you can see the bristles. Thank you. John

So I’m a little Leary about using my good watercolor brushes to play around with my w and n ink set but you seem to believe it perfectly fine? Correct? What about the shellack?

Rly good content thank you!

This is such a great idea, you're the only person that has done this size on YT. I would love to see you put some together for 12x12s😊. Do you think cardboard could work as well if it's doubled up or just thick cardboard? Great idea ! Merry Christmas ⛄ Julie

This 7-year-old tutorial is just what I was looking for! I even have all of the materials needed. Thank you so much!! I might make one with two more levels because I have tons of loose tracing paper and an A3 light pad. It would be very convenient to have easy access to it.

I have found via another youtube channel, that you can use fountain pen ink within a watercolour brush pen, if you water the ink down about 1/3 ink to 2/3 water, and I can tell you it defo works very well

Mine is made, but it looks like my 9yr old made it hahahaha!!!!!

The ink is not messy. Some people however...

Lovely video! I just came back to my channel after a break too, so I appreciate how hard it is coming back to it. Your marmoset sticker is adorable :)

AALLLL HAIIILLL FREEEDDOOOOMMM UNITTTSSS!!

On looking at Amazon I see the thickness as 5mm, which is equivalent to 3/16th. Am I right?

I know this is an old tutorial, but I followed it and built myself a custom-sized paper storage unit for the shelf on my printer cart for around $8! Don't use Dollar Tree foam core. I typically don't patronize Hobby Lobby, but their 20X30 foam core sheets are $1.99. I made a 20x14 five-shelf unit with four sheets. One tip, once you core out the slots for the shelves, use the edge of a small scrap of foam core (the perfect size!) to scrape out the remaining foam. That will give you a better fit. Kudos to you for the great tutorial!

Do I need to have dedicated brushes for ink or can I use my watercolor brushes without them getting ruined by the ink? Im about to buy my first set if inks and dont know if I should buy some brushes too just for them. Dont wanna hurt my brushes and I dont know how inks work! Please let me know. Thanks! 😊

Thanks so much for these awesome and super helpful tips! Really helped me out!

OMG!!! I love you! I do the same thing, “The first step here is to find your pencil.” LMAO. Me to a Tee!!!

Pretty pup!

Much appreciated !

Great tutorial. You've probably already made one with contact paper for sturdiness. Hope your venture went well

Why don't you just add strips of foam board to the back peice so you don't have to do all of that hard work on the back peice?

I've been searching for something like this!! THANK YOU ❤ paper organizers are just so incredibly expensive and I love to diy! Thank you so much!

Inking with brushes vs pen is so different with brushes you get like fade/dry brush effect if you fully use up the ink in the brush which is a useful effect if you're looking for that effect but sometimes it's kinda annoying i have very good control with pens I can hatch very finely and very straight compared to brushes albeit iam not that good with brushes

i will try this 5 years later

Thank you for sharing your scrapbook storage idea! By the way your dog is beautiful!!! :)

Wow so smart and amazing! I want to make something similar to store stickers! Thank you for the tutorial!! 💕

Just made this tonight... I'm a high school math teacher and needed a better place to store my colored printer paper in my classroom... So I made all 4 levels divided in the middle. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Thank you for sharing. This will work great for all my scrapbooking paper, card stock, sheets of felt and loose paper. I have all those items in different places in my apartment lol. I'm definitely going to build this.

are you go ahead ask you father or if you have any brothers or your boyfriend cut down some wood make it last whole lot longer I’m talking about years yes maybe last fall and no more about two or three years paper is very heavy put on anything lightweight shelving units

when you do it was like hand of the ink or do all my pencil it’s very hard to see on camera

it’s a little bit more work it’s make whole lot easier cut wells of softs you making out foam boards

Thank you for sharing. So nice to find your videos!

Well done. I like your joints, same as a wooden bookcase.

hey! just curious, what paper do you use? thank you!

Good job! I don't usually see people do it the way youl came up with, but I like your style a lot and am going to use it. Thanks for sharing!

Great project. Your supervisor came and gave approval.....🐶...... 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😊

very nice i made some thing like this for my computer paper but this looks so much better and i like the white. I am diffidently going to try it I like your cutting board not sure if i am going to get one because i use a smaller kitchen cutting board but this would make it much easier. jsut like i need more stuff lol thanks for your video

Foamworks kit is the best. I bought one and it cuts foam like butter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bovXe5l3fZirhck

Thanks for putting this out there.

Probably the best "floating shelves" video I've seen. Thank you for using tools the rest of us can also use, instead of tools and setups that cost thousands of dollars. 3:21

How do you wash your brushes after inking?

Great illustrations

great job!

Wowwwwww it's awesome i don't have words to describe

You. Are. Awesome!💖 And this tutorial is excellent!! I make a lot of DIY storage from cardboard & foam-core( because I'm cheap aka broke😁 & have a crap-ton of delivery boxes😮). You did an amazing job of teaching how to cut the rabbits(or 'channels') for the shelves to rest in. I've always just held them up by basically gluing the "supports" in & just using those. Mostly, because my cutting skills are severely lacking😒 But, I am definitely going to give your method, & fantastic tips, a shot! Ty soooo much for making this tutorial!💖 P.S. I'm sure all you crafty folks know that $tree has those foam-core sheets for $1! They carry poster board too👍 Thx again!

What is the difference between foam core and poster board?

the paintings shown in the beginning were really amazing!!!

I like what you’ve done here. I was thinking that I need a place to store papers, card stock and tools and you did it. Never thought of foam core, but it’s an excellent idea. Thanks so much for the tutorial. 😍

If I spent the extra dollar or 2 would it be easier to just cut the 2 inch slats and glued them on instead of making those tiny little cuts? I ask because I know I’m gonna be the one to cut clear through to the other side. Btw, I live in West Columbia. Carrie

Metal straight edge can be had at Wally World for cheap....That is such an important tool! Use a butterfly touch when cutting foam core...Dollar Tree foam core is not the same quality as paper-based foam core. You can not core-out dollar tree foam core. Being an artist entails strategies and sacrifices just like other professions, Coupons are your friend, I never purchase from the big chains unless I have a coupon or coupon code in my hand or on my phone!

Great job on the instructions...Xacto knife and fresh blades are crucial. Congrats on the collective gig!

yes! definitely do a convention vid!
