7 satisfying sketchbook Ideas you can make NOW!

[@bycreativepaula]

What is your favorite to go material for sketchbooking? maybe I should do a video with that!

[@TheTerrylwg]

Colored pencil, but using just a sepia tone, or just a few colors.

[@gailzaranek6958]

I love watercolor and pen, which you do a lot of, so I love that. But I recently purchased a set of paint pens and am trying them out to see if this medium is worth investing in a really nice set. So maybe a few more of those?

[@JayofallTrades]

I like markers and pencils. I take a set of markers and my favorite pens to use when I sketch on the go.

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

@@bycreativepaula pencils or colored pencils.

[@StubbyMe]

I usually use watercolour and fineliner pen, but have recently been trying alcohol ink markers and fineliner for when I can't take water and brushes etc with me

[@JayofallTrades]

I recently gifted a sketchbook to my girlfriend and she doesn't think her drawings are works of art but i tell her its fun doodles and not every artist or work of art started out a masterpiece. A sketchbook is for practice and fun. Her art is so cute and she likes to add poems or phrases alongside her art. She enjoys it even though sometimes she has a hard time with perfectionalism. I told her everyone started somewhere even the famous artists practiced until they got where they are today.

[@MicheleEngel]

@@JayofallTrades I remember, as a self-taught mixed media artist, realizing one day that those of us who have the urge to create visual art don’t have to be Picasso or Matisse or da Vinci to be “artists.” There’s a whole world of wonderful art to see and to make out there by motivated, creative “ordinary” folks who study and practice what we love. Because it makes us happy. Maybe we’ll display our work, maybe we’ll enter it in art shows, and maybe we’ll sell it. And maybe we won’t do any of those things. Art is a form of self expression from which I believe everyone can benefit!

[@melanie990]

That's adorable, and you are amazing to support her so well! I started with zendoodling and then art journaling from there. Has she seen anything from Noit Art, Niamh Baly, ShanoukiArt, Ranger Ink, Dyan Reaveley, etc?

[@bycreativepaula]

I love how you have her back on her practice! Not only by gifting her a sketchbook but also with your beautiful encouragement ☺️

Perfection kills Art, and any other pursuits! I know from experience. The two are mutually exclusive.

I just found you on KZbin and you've given me a whole new perspective on using a purse size Sketchbook. I bought a small Winsor&Newton A5, 80lb months ago that would be suitable to put in my purse. I used it once, then put it in the cupboard with my larger sketchbooks, where it sat until I watched your first podcast. I then dug it out and started to create, and I'm full steam ahead. The smaller size pages aren't as daunting as my large size sketchbooks, and being 80lb I can using pens, markers, watercolour pencils/paints....so happy to have found your channel❤

I haven't done anything in any sketchbook even tho I've purchased many. Cuz I thot "A few minutes a day will take forever to make any real progress." But i bought my first sketchbook over 2 years ago & it's still empty: think how far I'd be had I spent just a couple of minutes a day for the past 2 years!! that does it: starting a new habit tomorrow morning. thanks for the push!! ;-)

Hi Paula, I came across your amazing videos recently and wanted to let you know how much they have inspired and helped me. My beloved husband passed away 18 months ago and I’m lost without him. I enjoy lots of crafts but have not found any interest or satisfaction recently. After watching several of your videos I bought 2 sketchbooks, a small watercolour set, acrylic paint pens and fine liners. I have found it SO relaxing and therapeutic to watch your videos and then try out my own ideas for sketch pages. Thank you and please keep inspiring us.

[@taniele84]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I have always said, since as far back as I can remember, losing a spouse, your partner, is the scariest thing ever, because it’s so heartbreaking. I can’t imagine. Just the thought makes me cry. I’m sorry I’m just trying to say that I don’t know you, but I saw your comment and my heart truly hurts for you and I hope that you are able to find peace and healing with every passing day. And I’m so happy you got some sketchbooks and supplies. It’s a great way to soothe the soul God bless

[@bycreativepaula]

Hi Sandra; I’m so sorry for your loss, sending lots of love your way. So humbled that, in a little way; I can support you in your process and that you’ve found distraction in art; keep going ❤️

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Only YOU could seriously draw just a few squiggly lines and have them look so aesthetic! Hahaha. Loved the teapots, so cute! And I'm becoming way too attached to your dog getting desk cameos every video. 😂She must be a constant feature!

[@michelleinScotland]

Fabulous thank you. You are so right that you don't need lots of supplies to make beautiful art.

[@jennievanstavern1968]

You are such a wonderful friend to all of us. I have never taken an art class but I tried to throw clay years ago. The teacher reminded me on a daily basis that art had to have three components.....line form and color. Two out of three wasn't enough. He forgot art had to have character or style also. You have the package down pat and teach it without even trying. There are no words except thank you and that isn't enough.❤

[@bycreativepaula]

Oh wow; no, thank you for this wonderful message! ❤️ so grateful!

[@karendirmish2696]

[@sabs666ify]

Sometimes sketchbooks are daunting. I buy them and leave them for a while and if i get i spiration i use it . Maybe being les perfectionistic will make it easier to create and doodling is helping me a lot with that. I love the leaves btw i must try that to.

[@bycreativepaula]

It really is! Thank you so much! ❤️ I’m happy you liked the content!

[@MicheleEngel]

I almost skipped watching this because it seems like every time I watch a drawing/sketchbook video, I doubt that I would be able to replicate the art that’s produced. I never learned how to draw and continue to feel intimidated by it. But your video is wonderful! I watch and immediately feel like I could actually do that!❤ You have inspired me to try! And I love what you say about creating the habit-even if it’s just a few minutes each day. Thank you so much for sharing all of these ideas and showing me that it can be fun and easy and personally satisfying to work with just one pen and a sketchbook.

[@flis625]

I really relate, especially to “I was never taught to draw”, so true for me too. I believe that ‘average’ students often miss out on the encouragement and support those who are clever or struggling receive.

[@MicheleEngel]

@@flis625 That’s a great point about the lack of attention to “average” students. That’s exactly what happened to me, now that I think about it. I took art in every single year of middle school and high school and usually got a B or B- each semester. Never any type of personal attention, encouragement, or support. There was one outstanding exception in 8th grade when my teacher reported to my parents, apparently with some excitement, that she thought I was very creative-a report I’ve obviously remembered to this day (and I’m 70 years old now and have taught myself to be a mixed media artist because-you guessed it!-you can make beautiful things without knowing how to draw). I had been taking ballet lessons for many years when I was in 8th grade, and this particular teacher, who knew I went home every day after school, put on broadway musical albums, and danced to my heart’s content, invited me to demonstrate that to my entire art class. She was way ahead of her time as an art teacher who truly understood the meaning of art and creativity. 👏🏼

[@poonremote]

It's really fit for me, I don't like using anything else aside from a 0.5 pen and a 0.7 pen and my acrytic markers. This really matches my likings, and all I drew were weird lines that might signify coral reefs, my feeling that day, or simply nothing. The fourth idea would be sooo helpful to me so that I can continue my lines. I don't have much options, but when I could, I would also try adding a blue line between those black lines.

[@Poohtle]

At first I Thought you literally had every picture you drew on your wall. 😂 you’d soon run out. Thank you for using just a pen. So many sketchbook ideas start with paint and your tutorials are just what I’ve been looking for.

Watching some of these ideas, and I will admit I didn't always see at the start where you were going with something, but then when you finished, I saw something very beautiful and your technique worked so well. I'm scared to use a pen. I've done a little of it, but only when following references which were also pen sketches. It's intimidating to begin and yet I understand how important it is to learn and improve.

I had not sketched for more than 2 weeks, your video actually motivated me to open my sketchbook. I really like the first idea you made with the leaves, so I did something similar but with one of my own pictures as reference and a sepia liner. The result isn't amazing but not terrible either, and it was quite fun ! At least I did something. I also like to sketch with a ballpoint pen, this type of pen can give different opacity depending on the pressure you apply so it gives a different look. My favourite pen for sketching is a cheap Bic pen with blue ink, the most basic pen you find in every store in France.

Well, Paula, I haven't tried art since high school and I'm old, but I have to make my channel work. KZbin wants original art for sleep videos and I can not afford an artist so I have to try myself. My second one was better than the first, but I see mistakes. So I am moving onto watercolor paints for my sketchbook to make art faster than colored pencils. Maybe I can add ink and colored pencil to the dried watercolor paint. Oh well, It's an experiment. Thanks Paula, I never would have even tried without your videos. You inspire me.😻💖

That's why this kind of practise is just the type I need, having fun without too much expectations about the end results. Thanks for sharing these ideas with us! ☺️

I loved all of the ideas today! Some days paper and a Sharpie are my friend. Simple, yet so satisfying to the mind. I think I'll shall grab my sketchbook and liner pen and so some of these. They make me smile! Thank you for your inspiration, Paula!
