5 Ways To Improve Your Art "Health": Your Sketchbook! | Emily Artful

[@thesleepydot]

2:40 wHY DONT u *go* EAt A fOot 😂😂😂

[@GloomyFish]

One thing I've never understood was the need to fill a sketchbook quickly and being intimidated by the amount of blank pages left. I always like to try and extend my amount of time with a sketchbook as much as I can while still drawing in it every day because I always get sad when I finish a sketchbook, except for the rare cases when it's a sketchbook I hate and want to be done with. My sketchbook to me is like an extension of my soul. When I see I'm down to my last ten pages I start to stress out and drag out my time drawing in it because I just don't feel ready to finish it. And when I finally do finish it, it's like having to say goodbye to a friend. Of course, I'm always excited to start a new sketchbook too, just always a little sad knowing that I won't be using the old one anymore.

[@GiraffeCoco]

I agree!

[@redbengal16]

AGREED!!!

[@cynoglav9665]

That's such a perfect video! I've been struggling with a depressive episode the past two months and abandoned art for that time. Now I feel inspired to draw again. Thank you!! Also: PRAISE DA BABES.

[@emilyartful]

PRAISE BABES! I'm glad this was helpful! :) Doodle away, my friend!

“I’m being told you can’t use human flesh like that” 😂😂😂😂 instant subscription for the dark humor

[@chesspiece4257]

“They can go frank their slap hole” ah yes advertiser friendliness at its finest

[@conifercrow]

"....except human flesh." ::hits subscribe button immediately::

[@katrina9324]

Your voice reminds me of one of my school teachers from a few years back, and it pleases me greatly.

[@emilyartful]

That makes me feel so good because I hate my voice ;__;

[@shayevdh4599]

Your voice is fine and pretty normal, mine is weird, that's why I don't plan on ever letting it get out on the Internet😂😂😂.

[@Cardiax]

This kind of inspires me to draw, which is rare, so thank you, Emily. I'll have to watch it again after work so I can try something new.

[@jamiehammond9454]

OMG THE SKETCHBOOK IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I HOPE YOU DO A TOUR😊😊😊😊

[@emilyartful]

Hell yes!

[@desireesmith862]

I know a lot of people who skip around in their sketchbook and don’t write the date somewhere in their sketches. Just remember *WRITE THE DARN DATE!*

[@MeganWeller]

I've officially found my new favorite art channel, your art is amazing!

[@ibkristykat]

i have a mixed media 'art' journal. i don't really draw much. it's always abstract. and i LOVE it. :)

[@reneebarger5194]

I write and draw anything and everything in my sketchbook. Jewelry designs, room re-layout, snips of patterns, ribbon, inspirational sayings,etc. My son even figured out that I made my Xmas list in there. My boys both keep sketch books now. It's ok to put photos or magazine clips in there, anything that inspires you. Thanks Emily!

[@badindiegamer]

I found this video completely on accident and now I have a new favourite KZbinr

[@badindiegamer]

Also for tip number 4: I paint cherry blossoms. Easiest thing ever for me and they always come out looking so beautiful that I still manage to feel proud of what I've made.

[@jaydyboo]

Thanks for the video, I have 6 sketchbooks that going at the moment... I just see them and NEED them! 4 are free for all, 1 is for a Twisted reality and the other is for anatomy and OC's because the paper is awful and can only hold pencil (not even felt tip pens)

[@barbecueshapes5013]

This is the most helpful 'how to improve your sketchbook and avoid art block' i have ever seen thank you

[@theothercrypt]

YEEESSS. I love your art and your commentary. Probably my fav art channel on KZbin tbh

[@emilyartful]

Love you! Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoy :3

[@how_to_be_invisible]

I've been doing loads of revisiting old sketchbooks and just adding loads of illustrations to really sparse or totally empty pages. Thanks so much Emily - I'm a mum and I've been looking for a way to refresh my creative process! ♥

Emily Artful this made me cackle 💕😭

[@CharityChaotic]

SAAAAME

[@lilithdaughter8037]

Yesterday i had a sad water color test on my mixed media SB i lost hope tbh , and I found your vid by coincidence AND IT MADE MY DAY🌻☹️🌤you gave me a boom of hope , you’re so cheering girl thank you like for real 💛 i wish for you a happy day🌅

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Emily...You ROCK! I hadn't thought of half those ideas. Especially the idea of cutting out and pasting in. That's genius! Seriously, I genuinely hadn't thought of that. Oh and the idea with t he blocks of colour that you draw/paint on later, what a great thing to do! I often don't just draw bs in my sketchbook because I think of it as wasted time and effort. However, you have freed me from that restricting point of view...and no, I'm not blowing smoke up your butt hole... I just hadn't ever thought of these things before. So thanks hun. I truly appreciate it. I'm so happy I found you on KZbin. You are like a breath of fresh air on here! All the best to you, your hubby and da babes, from me here in South Wales. UK.

[@sumbae7668]

I've been painting portraits all day and my brain so starts hurting after a while so I decided to scramble scribble in my sketchbook like you suggested. I never really draw without plan so this was a nice change and a relief. Thank you

[@crazyanastar2431]

Art tips and dank memes? Sign me the heck up! PS: Another pair o' (OBVIOUS) tips I'd give is keep a desk heckin clean cause there is nothin' that butters my art jam more than an empty enough space to set a sketchbook down. Two, set yourself to a couple of supplies only per day for your studies and doodling, obvious but when you sit down without a plan it can get overwhelming(ahah cursed days of making a great pencil sketch, jumping to watercolor, smudged it horribly...just cry)

[@lightmarshmallowfluff8855]

Ugh, i had come across one of your videos about a year ago (i think it was HeART to HeART) and coming back now, i honestly don't understand why i haven't subbed to you until earlier, because even then that video REALLY inspired me. I've just spent a few hours ear-binging some of your videos while cleaning and I'm getting super pumped at the same time about creating more. You're awesome!

[@colleennewholy9026]

I recently found a sketch book I received during Christmas 2016. Literally. It is a blank slate. It was packed away in all my things as I've moved twice the past three years, and I just recently found it. I've never been able to fill out a sketchbook before. So I found this video helpful. Thank you very much!

[@corginautcreations2579]

I always forget how much fun you are to listen too ! And very helpfull too!

[@sontu9622]

Wait...U cant use human flesh to draw on and cut it out?! What have i been doing with my life...

[@WerewolfCas]

It bulks the sketchbook up too much. Take a nice photo and tape it in instead. That’s what I do at least.

[@emilyartful]

True, and helpful!

[@aurasofiabp]

You just got a new subscriber. This video is actually helpful and very fun. I love your personality and art. ❤️❤️

[@josmith5976]

This is the best, watching 6 am in the morning before work, just makes the day better.

[@jessthehotmess5044]

I clicked as soon as I got the notification! Your work is beautiful! Hope Da Babes is doing well!

[@emilyartful]

Thank you! DA BABES IS SUPREME AND CONTINUES TO BE SUPREME!

[@casstark9790]

You have a wonderful voice. I added one of your videos (this one actually) to my watch later playlist a few days ago and it popped up in my feed this morning. It was incredibly motivating to get me to draw again. I think I have like 5 empty sketchbooks just STARING at me - but this video series (I'm gonna go watch the rest now!) Has got my brain moving and my hands aching for a pencil again. Thank you!

[@Vaporeoni]

Hello, I’ve been looking at your videos the last few days and I just want to say I really enjoy you taking about stuff while I’m working at my sketchbook for art school. This video did motivate me! Thank you :)

[@ranasafi4858]

Especially this summer, I became addicted I HAVE to draw everyday.. You're very talented and funny Subscribed.

[@ekaterinavoloshko6073]

I keep rewatching this video for keeping my mental health in place ❤️❤️❤️

[@johnwatson3937]

A+ video! I love how you show multiple pieces you're working on!!

[@HarleyWithWings]

Omg I did NOT expect to laugh this much! 😂😂😂

[@anniepettit4909]

I love the tip about using a gloss medium 😱 that makes so much sense! I’m def gonna try it out in my current sketchbook. Thanks!! Great video

[@firebirb6726]

I love how alternative you are

I'm loving your content XD

[@moonset_artt2585]

DJaye’s here!

[@beautytheunicorn4660]

Your might be my new favorite youtube you make me laugh and make my days much better

[@VictoriaMeira7]

This was both hillarious and incredibly well timed, as I'm kind of going trough a phase were everything that i draw in my sketchbook seems meh and less good than what I drew before, so thank you so much! I will be sure to try out these tips.💛

[@emoooooly7350]

Glad we had this talk

[@SuddenlyUtopia]

This really helped me out ive been intimidated by my new large sketch book after working in a little one for months. You deserve way more subs! (Btw we are name buds lol)

[@emilyartful]

Name buds! woo! And thank you! I've been stuck at 26,8-- forever now! Like, actually for months! I was having a huge amount of growth and then poof! It stopped! I actually think I was "found out" and my videos were being suppressed :/ So I've started bleeping naughty words and that seemed to help almost immediately! I knew the YT Algorithm would get me eventually!

[@redactedhaunt]

This is a great amazing video!! I love your humor 😂😂❤ another tip: you can tape and glue in random shit you find or collect into your sketchbook whether its someone else's art or other things !

[@katelynmcphail8291]

I freaking love your personality wtf man

[@anna-gj1jb]

The fish part made me laugh so hard my whole family woke up (But thank you for the awesome video)

[@furbybuddy]

Tbh I have one sketchbook for scribbly thumbnails and studies and whatever and one where I glue in pieces like digital art I've made, and where I put in a little more effort that normal. I also draw a lot on sticky notes, which actually end up on my pinboard

[@furbybuddy]

It's a sketchbook that really isn't designed to be a sketchbook (the only pens that don't leak are ballpoint) but it's more of a way of showing someone what sort of art I do without pulling up instagram

[@screechingbirbs6406]

Imma use this with the next sketchbook that I get

[@reaperluvr6984]

I got back from a family trip abt a week ago and I haven’t drawn since I left. Now, I’ve been feeling the itch to draw well up inside me but I just haven’t been able to get my ass up and start (sleep schedule notwithstanding...) but after seeing this in my recommended I took it as a sign! Also the wHy dONt YOU go eat a FOOT had me ROLLING oh my god that made me subscribe.

[@artenchantress]

"Go eat a foot!" is my new favorite epithet! XD Lovely tips.

[@wildersabine]

Great tips! I think I got some ideas from watching, so thanks for the inspiration.

[@monkeymintaka]

I just found you today and you are totally awesome! I love your commentary so much :D

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I love the 'Cthulhu' Hello Kitty!

[@moche2303]

[@gothivore2414]

Has anyone ever told you that you kind of sound like Cherami Leigh who is a voice actor? Two of her most known roles are Asuna from SAO and Lucy from Fairy Tail. Your voice is so calming. ^-^

[@lunanul1615]

Great video! Thank you so much!!

[@parisazarifi]

[@rondakudrna2054]

[@paluxhale5488]

[@Hynotama]

How did you get that animal skull? I love skulls. I would love to collect a few.

[@bonniegomez5333]

Eek should i have been filling my sketch book? I always take my finished stuff out. My sketch book is trash practice stuff that will never see the light of day because they arent meant to be finished work. I have like three pages of me just practicing hands and similar for noses and stuff.

[@susanne18.9]

Great tips! Thank you 💕

[@melissaclair1508]

I love this content!

[@CynthiDerp]

I love this video lol you're great

[@Scrabbledat]

Soooo... I tried the mod podge thing and the watercolor and markers smudged everywhereeeee. Whyyyyy?

[@emilyartful]

Oh no!!! Maybe your watercolor wasn't dry enough? What brand were you using?

[@Scrabbledat]

Emily Artful it was dry paint from 2 days ago, Daniel smith paint. And I used actual mod podge brand

[@emilyartful]

Deven Brophy What da hecks??? I'm so sorry it messed up your picture!! I haven't had that issue. Maybe try giving your painting a spritz of fixative before the mod podge? I feel so bad it smoodged :((

[@Scrabbledat]

Emily Artful it’s ok haha I only tried it on a piece I didn’t care about just in case. Maybe the mod podge I bought was expired or a bad batch

[@Cheezedtomeetyou]

Oh god now I have a craving for human flesh

[@emilyartful]

I hate when that happens!

[@kieg7329]

Your name...and photo...is literally internet gold.

[@losersinc]

That is called cannabilsim my dear children, and is frowned upon in most societies .

[@plsunsubscribe1019]

I’m the volunteer for your cravings ;-;

[@alivinghumanbutisachair9115]

i can see barney saying this

[@ibkristykat]

(and i don't feel intimidated by empty pages, i go chronologically, and never have a plan for each page. i think i only had a plan like... once? LOL)

[@Lemu_with_a_shirt]

Only reason I'm sick of the "draw every day" thing is because health issues won't let me do that, but yea it's s great thing to do if you can!

[@888em]

[@LoReal021]

I'm 23 and have been drawing since I was able to hold a pencil. Yet I have never finished a sketchbook? What am I doing wrong? (p. s. Please excuse my bad English, I tried my best)

[@briezeee]
