How to Be more Motivated to Sketch Every Day 🎨🌼😊

[@opalg6162]

Once more, you are totally inspiring. I live alone, and I have my breakfast every morning while watching one of your videos. You are the way I start my day on a pleasant, calm, beautiful note whatever the rest of the day may hold for me. Thank you. I am so thrilled that I discovered you and your art work.

[@BeckyCao]

I'm so glad! 😊🌼 Such a pleasure to be part of your morning. Thank you for your appreciation! Stay safe and healthy!

[@anndavidson287]

Becky thanks for inspiring me to sketch what is in my home and the beauty in everyday things! You are a wonderful teacher and artist!! ❤😊😊

[@DerekShinglesCoops]

These videos are really inspiring! The repeated sketches of mugs with tea and coffee is something I can relate to. I really enjoy your videos, inspiration, style and content. Keep up the great work and thank you 😊

[@BeckyCao]

Glad you like them and can relate! You are very welcome. 😊🌸

[@KittehNow]

You are SO GOOD at simplifying methods of how easily we can get busy in our sketchbooks. You take the pressure and excuses away....very exciting to hear your thought processes..and your work is gorgeous.

[@PeachesCoco21]

Your art is beautiful❤

[@tlembro]

I actually think you are the MOST prolific sketch person I have ever seen! Any thought that you may publish your sketches in a book? Would be a best seller!

[@jackierohm]

Love your sketches and the variety of sketches on each page. You really inspire me to try to become a better artist. Thanks for sharing your work with us!❤️

[@illustratornamedkasper]

Remember that EVERY time you make a sketch, even just 5 minutes, you ARE progressing! Be patient, and happy sketching everyone! Awesome video, Becky =)

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much for your appreciation ☺️💗

[@kathyoh9713]

Thanks so much for the inspiration. I love your videos, and I like when you say “nothing is too boring to draw”. You’re right. Sometimes I let subject matter stand in my way of just doing it. Have a good day!

[@BeckyCao]

You are so welcome 💗😊 Thank you for your appreciation. Enjoy your creative process! 🎨

[@katsmith8263]

I enjoyed your sketchbook flip and your explanation where and how you sketched each page a lot!! 👍👍👍

Such lovely artwork. I can see how your paintings have evolved from your earlier sketchbooks to now. I appreciate your practical suggestions and I’m looking forward to implementing more practice each day. Thank you!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you very much! Yes, time and effort pay off very well. Enjoy your process.

You can see where she started adding in more frames and borders, but still has overlapping elements and scale differences

[@lauralu4175]

Wow beautiful video. Love your explanations, descriptions, illustrations and especially your inspiration. Thank you so much 🌸💖💐

You are so welcome! 😊🌸💝

Thanks to you I started this week with my new habbit of painting on a daily basis. And until now I am really happy! It feels so good, to observate and draw! Luckily the results/paintings have not dissapoint me but are all ok - until now. I hope that I can keep up with this habbit. Your videos are so powerfull, thank you very much!

[@BeckyCao]

Glad to hear that! I wish you all the best on your art journey! 😊🌼 Enjoy the process is more important.

@@BeckyCao Yes! I fully agree with you! I am happy every time a new sketching video from you shows up. ^^

[@monikaazariah9237]

This sketchbook tour was awesome....I'm gonna sketch more often ..just looking at your sketches are sooo inspiring !

[@BeckyCao]

Happy to hear that!

[@Suehuskins]

Thank you 😘

[@springnicole]

I love watching your videos because you make us feel like we can do it too. Sketching for just a few minutes each day is totally do-able

[@mikyroelands8468]

Love your style. Especially the very wet in the beginning.

[@lrdaly1101]

So encouraging and not always up for challenges. Thanks

[@lindsaymitchell8899]

I love you Becky. You have freed me from my tight painting style and I am inspired to paint as I see and feel. You have opened my need to be creative for me and not worry about what others think of my work. Thank you

[@anjapinkau3737]

So inspiring and motivating! I love your art! Thank you for sharing!

[@411Sleepyhead]

Great video

[@tdelphia1]

This is a good reminder for me. I've followed you for some time and I love how amazing your sketchbooks are and so many of them have been done with little items from around the house that you can just sit and sketch at a table/desk. An individual sketch might not seem like much, but it is the accretion of days, weeks, months, years' of work that creates such a wonderful body of work Becky! As covid keeps me pretty much at home and it looks like another fall/winter of that, I've been making a few "resolutions" of things I want to do to keep myself busy through the cold weather. Committing to more regular sketching is one of those things!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much for your appreciation, Tracy! I feel so good to read your supportive comments. 💗 I wish you all the best with your creative times. Stay safe and healthy, hopefully this is the last winter of covid and the world comes back to normal soon!

[@dawndavidson6062]

Thank you Becky - this was so helpful and inspiring!

[@aba1371988]

Such a beautiful sketchbook! Love your videos, super inspiring!

[@tinam.1163]

I look forward to your video s Becky. You’ve also inspired me to keep a sketch book, I love your style and the technique s you use. Thank you so much for these lessons!

[@BeckyCao]

Oh thank you! Glad you enjoy them! 😊💗

[@7merel1]

Great video as usual, Becky. I enjoyed it very much.

[@cjpassey]

Thank you for your videos. I’m learning so much and I’m so inspired to sketch everyday. I love your method and style!

[@DeinaOKC]

I've gotten out of the habit of sketching regularly and want to return. Your videos are always inspiring.

[@Janartable]

Very inspiring. Thank you so much Becky!!!

[@joane7651]

I'm looking for something to motivate me waking up in the morning earlier than the usual and i found your video! I'm looking forward now in sketching every mornings. Thanks for this video. You earned a subscriber

Thank you! 😊💗 Enjoy your new morning routine! ✏️🎨

Love your sketchbook and the way you draw and paint. You are very inspiring, thank you for all your video’s so far. A new subbie, Hugs from the Netherlands

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much 😀 🌸💝

[@tlembro]

Becky…. Is there one of your videos that describes the palette of colors that you use in your videos? If so I would like to watch it. Thank you!

[@jeanwillis.verycooldude8569]

Love your videos wish l could draw so quick the art work is so inspiring thank you so much for sharing with us hope to see more

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much 😀

[@homeschooledaroundtheworld4660]

Thank you very much for this video!!!🌸

[@katsmith8263]

What motivates you to draw everyday?

[@BeckyCao]

Great question! I will answer it in a new video soon. My quick answer right now is that life is short, and drawing and painting helps to hold on to the values of living.

[@ezzy4407]

Thank you for sharing. 💕 I always find the very first sketch of a new book difficult. It sometimes takes months before I’m gain enough to mark a book. Always afraid of ruining a perfectly beautiful book. Do you have any pointers?

[@BeckyCao]

You are so welcome! 💗 For me, I like to sketch my current sketch materials on the first page of a new sketchbook: watercolor palette, brushes, pens etc. Just keep it simple and don't think too much. Enjoy your process and don't stress about the outcome. I can share more in a future video.

[@lindaarthur5352]

I have just seen your video of sketching for the first time. Very inspiring. An you tell me what watercolour books you use and the sizes? Thank you

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you. I use the Arteza Watercolor sketchbook A4 size, bought on Amazon.

[@Angela27red]

Thank you for the tips. Very helpful!!! In the beginning Did you ever use pencil to sketch? Or you just jump right in with ink?

[@BeckyCao]

Well, I had years of academic art classes practicing with pencils (drawing, shading)... Then when I started my first art journal I was able to draw directly with ink because of the prior fundamental skills.
