10 Ways to FILL your Sketchbook

[@bycreativepaula]

What type of sketchbook video would you like to see next?

[@subhalibrary]

Something for a non-artistic person like me who is busy with office work, chores and a toddler 😅 I was continuously sketching for 1 month, thanks to your videos. Suddenly life got busy and I forgot to sketch this week. Anything that can keep us going on those low days would be appreciated. 😅

[@subhalibrary]

I start with the idea of ‘play and joy’. I enjoy the process and keep making art of few days. But along the way the perfectionist inside me come out. I make things harder. Also, if I am not able to sketch some days and break ‘the streak’. After that it is hard for me to start sketching again. Advice, pep talk or any other form of antidote for this problem I have is welcome 😂😂😂

[@mickeyannie5606]

I’d love to see lots of FACES. Thank you, I just love, love your videos. Soooo great!

[@staceface4303]

I love abstract works but get so intimidated when trying myself.

[@elizabethglenbentley7882]

You're very encouraging, which helps to at least make an attempt to try! I really enjoy your videos 🎉

[@subhalibrary]

Oh please! That tear drop is my absolute favorite.

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh wow thanks!

[@bavavi18]

I was shocked to hear you disliked 😅 although I can empathize. I agree thought was extremely vibrant and I can't wait to try this. It's my favourite one too ❤

[@ShirleyDeeDesigns]

Mine too!

[@caroleverest2049]

And the paisley rainbow is so beautiful

[@hanneloreromeike1096]

I liked that one too❤😊

[@keardinbernier5294]

I love that you even show the ones you personally don’t like, because most of the time we absolutely love them! 💕

[@bycreativepaula]

Aww thanks!!

[@ulrikeh.3741]

I LOVED the teardrops and the mandala, the portrait and the last one! These were my favorites, but the other ones gave me ideas too. You always motivate me! And I enjoyed each removal of the tapes!

[@bycreativepaula]

I'm so glad! ❤️ thank you so much!

[@annangel4828]

I love your ideas! And believe it or not, your "tear drop" painting was my absolute favorite ❤️ It's wonderful that we all have different perspectives. Viva la difference!

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh wow thank you! Yessss let’s celebrate that!!! ❤️

[@bertuccigirl]

No need to apologize for the tape removal - so very satisfying!! 😊

[@bycreativepaula]

Right?? It’s delicious haha! Thank you! ❤️

[@freeenergyscool]

Totally get the tape thing. SOOOO satisfying! I loved the paisley in the rainbow colors. I agree with many commenters...I loved them all!

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much!!! Yes it’s sooooo delicious! I need to do it again! ❤️

[@SamCurtis-yk8cv]

They were all beautiful but I loved the painted mandala and the first rainbow droplets that you didn’t like. It’s beautiful 💜

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much!!! ☺️

[@Gretagarbo830]

I LOVE the tape effect also. And it's almost as satisfying to me to watch you take it off!!!

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh yay! I’m so glad!

[@christierinehart3289]

Every painting is yummy! I understand what you mean about peeling the tape being satisfying. It just leaves such crisp lines and elevates the whole page. I don't know where you get all these ideas, but I really enjoy them.

[@bycreativepaula]

I’m so happy you enjoy them!!! ❤️ thank you so much! ☺️

[@ChantelleArts]

I do the first one every now and again when I'm trying to relax, it's really soothing adding all those patterns 🥰

[@bycreativepaula]

I totally agree! Super zen! ❤️

[@bobgenevro4759]

I like the tape borders.....I like that you, a genuine artist, throw art tantrums. I, too, don't like everything I create. It helps you experience the same frustration at times. Keep up the good.work.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much!!

[@debaccetta3982]

I love your ‘fill your sketchbook ideas’…I have a ton of blank sketchbooks and you have given me such inspiration!! And I too love the satisfaction of pulling tape off hehe! Thanks for your tutorials 😊

[@bycreativepaula]

I’m so happy for that!! Have fun! Thank you! ❤️

[@alyshiarobison2290]

Thank you for including what you feel are failures and then excitedly moving on. I'm trying to get better at picking myself up and continue to art after my failures. You are great inspiration!

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! I’m happy sharing helps ❤️

[@edc9864]

That butterfly was fantastic! The colors!!! Also loved the last one with the trees!

[@bycreativepaula]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Icanicdesigns]

I absolutely loved the teardrop piece, so happy you show the ones you think you failed at. Your videos have got me sketching every day

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh yay! That’s the best compliment ever! In so grateful I’ve inspired you!

[@susanbush5897]

I didn’t think ANY of these were fails! All were beautiful! 👏👏

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh wow!! Thank you! 😊

[@dramdarmody7239]

I actually really like the drawing with the petals! These are all great ideas 👏🏻

[@bevbarry9637]

I could watch tape peeling like that all day! I love the mandala and the face, can't wait to try my own.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! ❤️ hope you tried it!

[@kayslowey-sly2138]

They are beautiful! It amazes me how you can turn blank pages into interesting and creative art. Once again, thank you for sharing. Blessings…

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@birdie399]

The face really is the star of the video. The tape gives a clean finish. Thanks for an entertaining video.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!

[@Esther-rehtsE]

These are very nice, also the ones you didn't like🤣🤣🤣I understand your thing with the tape Paula, I think it's satisfying too. For me; don't hold back with that🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰

[@bycreativepaula]

Yay! I won’t! Thank you so much! ☺️

[@CourageousPainting]

The tape peels are so satisfying. 😮 I think the teapot page is my favorite. I love the pastels. 😍

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much my friend! It really is! ☺️

[@sharisimonehampton5434]

Love that portrait! So cool. You make it all look so easy. Thanks for sharing this video. ❤😉👍❤

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! 😊

[@neverwares]

I used to hate failure too. Then I was able to reframe it as not a failure but a learning experience, and I absolutely love to learn!

[@bycreativepaula]

I absolutely love that! ❤️

[@Art4Life47]

Love your inspirational ideas, your personality and your sweet giggle. Keep it up!

[@bycreativepaula]

🥰 thank you SO much! ❤️

[@nancymcgee5838]

What has helped me as a new art enthusiast to not get frustrated and 'melt down', is to repeat any Name of the Divine I Love Most during All of my artistic play dates with myself. I Love your Spirit of Generosity and Fun. ❤

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much Nancy!

[@patlatour2465]

These are so fun thanks for the awesome ideas, I liked the tear drops. Enjoyed your trees.😊

[@ellensmith6840]

I can’t wait to try a couple of these, Paula.!! And, I love your vulnerability and the fact that you give yourself grace ❤

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much Ellen ❤️ I hope you had fun trying these

[@rosafausto4821]

Thank you for sharing. I love all of your designs. Love that you also show the ones you feel aren't that great. ❤

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much!!

[@graciesmom2019]

I loved the tear drop shaped one!

[@sandrabollen-hughes6182]

I enjoyed this so much. You are such a perfectionist... I smiled at your idea of a fail. Loved them all.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! 😊 haha yeah I am very type A 🫣

[@MNever]

I loved the tear drop shaped one ❤

[@BostynsCreativeSpace]

You’re so good at coming up with ideas! 💚 they all turned out beautiful

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much !! 😊

[@HollyOly]

Such a cool idea to use a water brush! Great on-the-go tip! (But I’m glad you did a mandala anyway, because I live it. ❤)

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you! 😊

[@patlatour2465]

❤❤❤your ideas always inspire me to try something different with some Color’s I hardly use.thank you so much.

[@marlenaamalfitano1558]

I love to pull tape and reveal those lovely straight lines! It does hekp to see that others hate some of their stuff and feel it's a mistake. I liked your tear drops. Loved the mandala. I agree about the sketchbook. I don't let others see them, as they are experimental and sometimes so ugly, but I learn so much I would not have thought I would like the portrait, but I really like it, especially blown up!

[@bycreativepaula]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kendralipscomb747]

I never thought to try adding water to my markers! I'm definitely going to try this! Thanks fir the idea, Paula!

[@bycreativepaula]

You are so welcome! ❤️

[@christinehart6430]

Wow. I love all of them. The one with the red flowers really pop. Thank you for all the tips Paula. I will be trying the paint markers with water. X

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! Yes! Please try! I will definitely do it again too! ☺️❤️

[@dianewilliams9113]

I really like the tape, too! I love all of your ideas!

[@bycreativepaula]

Thanks so much! 😊 it’s just such a nice crisp peel !

[@mellosings6180]

I enjoy your videos, your art, your creativity, and the simplicity of the thought process. Everything you do is beautiful. And im so inspired. I recently started watercolor painting. And its so satisfying. You’ve inspired me to be more creative and free and just have fun! Also, your voice is very calming in videos & fun. You’re so beautiful! Thank you for your videos! 🌸💓🌸

[@bycreativepaula]

Aw, thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoy them and I’m honored I’ve been able to inspire you somehow! Keep enjoying your watercolors! ❤️

I think it's important to share successes and the not so successful creations we make. I applaud you for letting us know that not every piece is a masterpiece but a progress in our journey. thank you

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️☺️The road to success is definitely paved with mistakes!

[@soniascrafts]

Your videos are like a good series episode! Every time it ends I wonder why did it have to end so soon!! I want more! Oh and I’m a washi tape addict too!😂

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh wow thank you so much!! What a great compliment!!! ❤️

Don’t apologise the tape is my fave part too 😍😍😍😍love watching it! And the art looks extra pretty after

Thank you!!! I think I wanna give it another shot!

[@droshiroable]

I loved all of these, even the ones you hated. Glad you showed how you try to push through your dissatisfaction with your own efforts though. Even greater beauty beyond that!

@@bycreativepaula I did 5 of the pictures today and am so happy with how they came out!

[@julieansell8553]

Wow great ideas again! I think the mandala was my favourite and so good to see that it doesnt have to be exactly symetrical as I always imagined perfect symetry would be necessary for it to look good..

[@bycreativepaula]

I thought that too! So now we can enjoy the process more in this freedom ☺️

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

I LOVED the rainbow teardrops!! 🌈💧 The background using the paint pen as watercolor was gorgeous!! 😍 The mountains and mandelas were so pretty and unique!! 🥰 I got a chuckle out of your artistic tantrums!! 😅 You are doing so much better!! ❤ Bravo!! 👏👏 The woman was so cute and colorful!!💞

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much 😊! I think I am doing better! Or in this case I thought I should not waste all that work and calm down haha!

Hello, there's no failure in what you create, I only saw happiness and encouragement in your art, choose better words to embrace your art because I see something amazing.

[@bycreativepaula]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words 😊

[@rosehill1595]

LOVE your portrait inspiration - you just gave me the courage to try one or a hundred!!! I like your ideas, these will be perfect to try in combination with my own first sketchbook plans. I want to do a nature journal and a general practice sketchbook, multi-media. I hadn't really considered the type of colorful art that you do - but there is no reason that I can't play with some fun, colorful ideas too. I definitely need some tape now - washi or not - I can tape up a four square for a page layout, then write a quote or poem or description of a plant or just color it as a background or turn it into a frame. Thanks for the inspiration. Besides, a four square gives me the opportunity to try a dragonfly four different ways/color combos. Anyway - I liked your rainbow teardrop idea - so many possibilities. Subscribed!:)

[@bycreativepaula]

Hi!!! Thanks for subbing ! I love that you are having so many ideas already!!! Your sketchbook practice will be amazing! Don’t forget to have fun!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I just wanted to say i fully understand the using of descriptive taste words with art i do it so much my lil artist daughters have joined in describing their experiences with taste words as well...i find it the best way to describe something so satisfying...and most of all thank yiu for another great week of art and ideas enjoyed it!😊

I love all your sketchbook idea videos! One day I might even get the motivation to pull out my dozens of empty books haha. I love tape peeling, it’s so satisfying. Devastating if it doesn’t peel off cleanly tho! Have you considered posting a picture collage with all your different sketchbook pages online? You have so many wonderful ones I’d love to be able to see them at a glance to remind me of ones I particularly loved and/or which video to go back to for the ideas

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh that’s such a great idea!!! I’m going to start posting them as a carousel on my instagram profile! Thank you so much!! Please play with your empty books haha! ❤️❤️❤️

[@avangel13]

I’m so glad you’ve done this video cuz I recently just bought these exact markers and I couldn’t think of any ideas lately!!💜

[@bycreativepaula]

Hey again! Ok so now you can have your own tape peel party! Haha! I’m sure once you start playing with them you’ll fill page after page with variations ☺️

[@JayofallTrades]

I love all these videos just bought a new sketchbook (like i needed another lol ) I am always so many options so little time that i never get around to using a sketchbook. I really love the floral page. Moriah calls it drainting when you are drawing and painting with acrylic markers.

[@bycreativepaula]

I think you should go crazy on one of your sketchbooks and see what happens! Like just super messy and fill ten pages in like 15 minutes! You might get ideas in that fearless freedom 😉

[@Dani_sister4peace]

Tangles like zen tangles I find on Pinterest have been my big obsession lately. So I love the water 💧 drops.
