Etchr Sketchbook Tour: Spring 2024 🎨 + My Sketch Materials

[@EtchrLab]

Thanks for using our sketchbook, Becky! It means a lot :) - Ânia

[@BeckyCao]

You’re very welcome! 😄

Hi Becky. I use Platinum Carbon Black ink in my Sailor Fude fountain pen. It is a waterproof ink and is available in a few different colours. Platinum Carbon Sepia may be similar in colour to the Noodlers Brown. Platinum Carbon inks are waterproof and safe to use with fountain pens.

[@suzanneboily5224]

Thanks for showing your works. So so amazing

[@varaawilliams]

Please don't ever stop making art Becky. You're so talented. I enjoy watching you daily. You're so inspiring.

[@wanderingdi]

Thanks for sharing. This sketchbook is beautiful.

[@ChenyeTripp]

I was one of the people who commented about my Noodlers not being waterproof. I did return it and got the correct ink. Thank you, Becky.

[@laurar430]

I love the large sketchbook you have!

[@TatePuGoy]

Aqui estamos saindo da primavera e entrando no verão. Muito obrigada 🌷🇧🇷

[@MollyCutie]

It made me laugh how many times you drew your kitty napping! That is adoration!

[@miaa.mp4]

Hi Becky, hope you’re doing well, too! I’ve just found your channel recently and have been binge watching all your videos 😆 I find them very helpful that you explain your thoughts process when sketching & painting. Thank you for making these videos 🥰❤️

[@BeckyCao]

I am so glad you're enjoying the videos! ❤️☺️

[@lfarnham6990]

Thanks for the tip, Becky. I did just buy this ink and will check to see what I have...

[@trudyberry3267]

I really enjoy watching you paint Becky and you capture your life so beautifully. Your sketch book is amazing, a true feast for your eyes, but all those food pictures look so great that they make me feel hungry.😊❤

[@BeckyCao]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the sketchbook tour. 😊

[@suzanneboily5224]

Your fun to watch thank you

[@lindathaxton1994]

Lovevyour work - my favorite is always when you paint your kitty ❤ thank you for sharing!

[@terleah1012]

I absolutely enjoyed the tour...love your sketchbook and have been wanting to see it, so thankyou very much Becky.

[@maryslifechannel1]

Hi Becky I love watching your videos. Because of you I bought myself some sailor pens

[@notbroken4342]

This is so delightful, Becky, as I live o Vancouver Island I am familiar with Vancouver so I enjoy knowing of the areas you sketch. I love your illustrations and I think you could publish this as a book. I hope you do. I have shaky hands so my sketches are never as strong as yours. My lines are unavoidably wobbly. I loved seeing a Bunnykins mug in the early pages of your sketchbook.

[@BeckyCao]

Thanks so much for your compliments! 😊

[@lindathaxton1994]

Thank you for the heads up on the ink - I love the Sailors Fude pens - have 3 of them w/different colors of ink.

[@Harkart59]

I Love your mindset. The sketchbook is so lovely. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you.

[@ewwwobbie]

Hi Becky. I got some Bombay, sepia, India ink and its great. I use it with a dip pen and get great results. I had them for a long time and actually started using them in October. They have become my favorite supplies. Its a Speedball sketching pen set with 2 Penholders and 6 nibs. I highly recommend this pen and its less than $20 canadian.

[@pjlewisful]

my 2 favorite things about your videos are your positive outlook and, also, DuDu the cat

[@kimberleebrooks-trakis9563]

How do you stay so thin eating alll of that food? I just love your channel. Your sketches are amazing. Someday I hope to be half as good as you. I have yet to bring a sketch book outside with me, WHen I was a kid I used to cartoon people in a bar. My boyfriend at the time was in a band and every weekend we used to go to that bar where me and the other girlfriends sat. I would bring my sketch book and cartoon what I saw. I still have those and they were fun. They remain a great memory of days past. I would like to start frequenting coffee bars like you do and sit and draw. Maybe when I officially retire.

[@Goldfootcrane]

Hi Becky, I watched this tour of your sketchbook tonight, it’s beautiful as always. At the end you showed us your watercolor equipment, your face lit up especially when you got to you pan of paints. It made me feel happy as well, and I thought to myself, I hope my face does the same when I open my paints. I think it’s why I enjoy watching your videos so much, because your love and enthusiasm shines through! Until next time, you Florida friend, Joan

[@janie-w6o]

Becky, you are sooo talented and what a treasure book that's so full of beautiful memories. I enjoy you immensely

[@EarthLab_USk]

Nice sketchbook tour ! A relaxed life through local coffee shops. It lessens the stress effects on your mind and body....Beautiful sketchbook ! :)

[@jessicastrideart]

Thank you for showing us your lovely sketches Becky. I’ve recently bought the Sailer Fude pen and you helped me fill it with ink, thankyou for that too! The ink I’m using is the De Atramentis document ink. It’s waterproof and they do loads of different colours.😊

[@BilbosOreo]

There is a stationery store in Vancouver…Buchan’s Kerrisdale Stationery that carries Noodler’s Ink, specifically the waterproof Brown #41 you are looking for. Might be a good reason for a fun sketching trip!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much for the tip! ☺️❤️ Sadly, the Noodler's ink at Buchan's Stationary has been out of stock for a long time, keeping my fingers crossed...

[@suzanneboily5224]

Your works are amazing I gonna try to do something like that.

[@ruthwhite9694]

I had the same thing happen when I ordered the brown ink from Amazon!

[@slane_design]

Becky, you might want to send that bottle back. Doesnt look like true Noodlers ink. Lots of resellers are selling knock offs . I use Noodlers 41 in my TWSBI. I love it so much!

[@WimVeen]

That was a nice review of your work from this year. Wish you a nice time of the year towards Christmas. Enjoy your time!

[@TristinaDietzElmesArtist]

Nice Sketchbook review! Love all the yummy food images the best, but DuDu runs a very close second. I use the R&K Sketch Ink Lily dark brown color in my Sailor Fude Pen. It's waterproof and dries nice and fast. Thanks for the tip on what to look out for with the Noodler's inks. Cheers! 😊

[@BeckyCao]

You’re right, Dudu is always a hit! 😄 Thank you for sharing the ink you use.

[@jlm517rocks]

each spread tells a story ii am inspired by... ty for sharing... also re inks diff... reinvested in both pens / ink.

[@michalnanny1098]

I didn't want to invest >$30 on the ink bottle + convertor for my Fude pen, so instead - I ordered some cartridges from Sailor with water-proof ink. It's probably not as cost effective, but easier for me to shell $6 at a time. :-) Thanks for the video.

[@三毛-e3p]

知性优雅❤❤

[@themacroqueen289]

Enjoyable video as always. After a long search of inks - I use Winsor and Newton Ink. Black Indian ink. I just bought the 14ml bottle and not a smudge in site! I use it with a dipping pen as I'm not sure if a fountain pen would be a good idea with this ink. Also - thanks for letting us know about the Noodlers Brown. I was going to treat myself to some so I'll be very aware when purchasing from Amazon Australia. Take care.

Kia ora Becky. I also received the wrong Noodlers ink from Amazon. I returned it and they refunded. I had the same experience with another mail order company. I eventually got the correct #41 brown from a retailer on Ali Express. It’s annoying because deliveries to here, New Zealand, take so long.

[@andreatorraca8755]

Hi from Florida US

[@pjlewisful]

hi from Tenn.

[@SharonFoster852]

Could the new ink be counterfeit? Somebody using the Noodler's name, but not Noodler's? Can you buy directly from Noodlers?

[@BeckyCao]

I checked Noodler's website and they don't sell the inks directly. The ink I got from Amazon seems to be just a wrong brown. I just returned the wrong one and ordered again. Fingers crossed.

[@indie8189]

Many bald men in Vancouver 😂

[@KarenK-r4f]

Any special man in your life Becky. I am curious. 😅

[@BeckyCao]

Haha... I am a happy single girl. 😄💗
