Don't just have your sketchbook with you but shoved in your bag. Have it in your hand ready to go, with whatever you like to draw with stuck in the pen loop. The lazy is strong and it will say 'Oh I don't have time/space to pull my sketchbook out of my bag' or 'I can't find a pen' or 'I can't see anywhere to sit'. If you have your sketchbook in your hand, you're way more likely to start sketching in line or on the bus or whatever.

I always draw during the english class, but i never brought my sketchbook in school i draw in lose paper that i find lol.

[@doaovow]

nawal sketchs same.

[@MangaPhilosophy]

I've been trying to draw 2 hours a day, 1 hour of fundamental stuff, and 1 hour of personal art work

[@awkweirdmel4758]

FINALLY! Another person that wakes up at 5am to get stuff done.. my friends think im weird XD love your videos and art, its amazing!

[@BianaBova]

DJ Pon3 OMG YES #earlybirdsquad 🙌

[@teaartist6455]

Well, hello there, fellow timemaker. I'm a night-person but only allowed to be up to like 9:15 pm in the week so I have to get time when I can.

[@psyzbunny]

I wake up 5am cause I my classes starts at 7am, and I go to school walking sometimes. And it's a 3km walk.

[@MatthewSorgie]

also rewatching this i miss you

[@itsevie3143]

I have plenty of time to do artwork but my problem is that I can only draw when im at school, where it's hectic, I've tried drawing at home but I don't have any motivation when I'm there, like I look at my sketchbook and im just like "Dont feel like it today."

[@zoes3063]

Prime example of my life, I found multitasking while drawing helps, like watching tv or listening to music lmao, just me idk.

[@BianaBova]

ItsEvie〈3 agreed with pepe, netflix and youtube are my prime motivations to zone out and draw. Also, try to designate a time and place (like a desk or something) to sketch every day. Once you've established a habit, it'll be WAY easier to draw even when you're tired

[@angelar3045]

I'm not young, but I'm young in art. I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you!

[@traumwandeln]

please wait for the alarm being over next time .. i had touble listening

[@anasussel]

OMG THIS HELPED ME SO BAD. That was exactly what I needed to hear, THANK YOU. I always say things like "wow, not today, my bed just feels good right now and I don't wanna fucking wake up"... I promise I'll try my best to make art this vacation, because I'm feeling really bad with myself and it sucks a lot. AND I'M SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH I'M BRAZILIAN LOL

[@hollystop]

I feel like I haven’t improved at all in the past 2 years!!! 😥 I know I’ve been stressed but ... 2 YEARS?!?

[@MangaPhilosophy]

first comment, I literally was just thinking about how much I was looking forward to another one of your tutorial videos :)

[@BianaBova]

Holy shit that speed!!! And don't you worry, I've got what....5? maybe 6 videos in the mental queue, so those'll be uploaded soon! :D

[@NS-ze6qc]

Hey there! New subscriber here :) Im just wondering if you have any tips or if youd make a vid about trying to stop yourself fron procrastinating, like for example youre swamped with commissions and the deadline is drawing near bjt instead of doing it like you expected you will you do nothing productive at all? :(

[@iamtotallyunseen]

My problem is with digital art and it came when college started. I'm doing design and it's a very practical course, which I've been finding kind of draining, even though I love it. but i have classes in the morning, but when I get home, I feel tired and my brain doesn't work, so the only time I do stuff, is during classes and they are all sketches heh.

[@hbczk]

draw whilst you are commuting!!! draw on the bus, on the train, on the subway! is it going to be wobbly? yes. is it going to be packed in rush hour? yes. is it still practice and good use of time? yes!

[@deangelomack4675]

Do you recommend, drawing in your sketch book to make a bigger piece , by scanning the art from the sketch book, to use and trace on a bigger art's paper, I heard that's a good way to get details in your art, but I never done it before

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

I generally stay up fairly late due to not being able to sleep and having a night job so I do my art late at night when everyone else is asleep. I also do it after work while I wait for my ride to come pick me up (I don't have a car). I find that I get a lot done that way sometimes.

[@Elythe]

I wake up at 5:00 just so I get to my full-time job in time... and I return home around 8pm. Then I need to eat... but I still found time. Enough time to participate in InkTober last year. Nothing's impossible. Nobody has "no time to draw", people only happen to have "other priorities". All this "no time" is just people being lazy =D

[@fermentingdragon]

i wake up at five normally since i leave for school after seven and i´m a lazy shit so i´d need to wake up at like 2 while i go to sleep at 1 XD

[@kassuke2554]

Boston is hella noisy, thank GOD I dont live there LOL

[@sonjanelsen237]

"Or if you're studious or-something"'

[@dhelixart]

Those to do list pages at the beginning of the video make me anxious O.O" Anyway, thanks for those advices! Drawing takes a lot of time and finding at least a couple minutes to sketch can be really tough but we do what we can

[@sonjanelsen237]

Or you can stay up till 3 am and draw then like me

[@floppygas]

Is it better to go to college for art, or is it okay to not go to college at all, but keep drawing still and trying to sell your work in some way?

[@jackalope_butchery]

I'm definitely one of the no-no artists that slack on creativity for weeks or months at a time. BUT, after subscribing to your channel, I sucked it up and went out to my local supply shop and got a new sketchbook...which is still sealed and wrapped. Baby steps. I WILL SKETCH TODAY. I WILL SKETCH TODAY. I WILL SKETCH TODAY.

[@BianaBova]

Mary Spracher HELL YEAH, GET TO SKETCHIN (and if you post pics of your sketchbook anywhere, send me a link so i can see! :D)

[@javidoodles7815]

nw got some clarity ! 😊

[@sonjanelsen237]

Haha great video though

[@abbygreen-inactive527]

Would you consider making a video about how you schedule/plan? I saw your agenda in the beginning of this video and some agendas from other videos and I am interested in how you set the agendas up (materials/what agenda you use/etc), how you plan your day, or like what notes/actions you record for important events/youtube videos/art ideas. It may not be committedly art related, however it helps with time-management which is something a lot of artists - I believe - struggle with. And it seems like an interesting video? Or it may be that I'm just making an excuse to drool over anything you create...

[@abbygreen-inactive527]

Also, I just realized this was posted last year. Which, however embarrassing it may be, could be benefitical so I'm going to put embarrassment aside for experience/sugestions you could provide. Thanks!...

[@TheArtofCalebRoe]

Great video thanks!

[@OnigiriFreakx]

Your words really help in my situation. Im about to finish art school and I don't even have a decent portafolio yet. It is kinda scary to take the jump to an art carrer(or any carrer) when you don't have the confidence enough to get stuff done... but I guess I should start to do something about it. Thanks for the video!

[@soniasok6000]

I've watched like a ton of your videos yesterday (I just subscribed, whoop whoop!) and I'm wondering if you could do a tutorial on glowy things? Like a lamp in a dark room that glows or something like that!

[@BianaBova]

Sonia Sok Thank you!! And that's a good idea, I might even turn it into a full blown "how to light shit" tutorial ;D

[@soniasok6000]

Lol thanks a bunches!

[@elvenafae]

I honestly thought the ambulance was outside my apartment lol I live right next to a super busy street. Glad to be moved further into the complex

[@sarasaroula2107]

You're very inspiring. Thank you for motivating me!

[@LaurenMakai]

A informative video . I enjoy watching your KZbin videos . 😊

[@prettyinpink2102]

Thank you so much for this video! It really helped!

[@inbetween7328]

I really like your channel. Keep up to good work!

[@MonsterMaker]

All your videos are just so great, and I think I really needed to hear this at the moment. Getting overwhelmed and I tend to have "binge" sessions of making art, and I am 1000% naturally nocturnal and I really want to try get into a routine of waking up early. Bloody kudos to you for waking up at 5am and having hours of drawing before classes etc!

[@BianaBova]

Monster Maker Thank you!! At my old starbucks job I was waking up at 3:30am ~5x a week so i still consider this sleeping in xD. If you're determined to be an early bird, god speed, but maybe use your body's natural clock to sketch at night instead. Lots of luck getting all that sketching done!

[@VaninaMusicStudios]

dude i love your videos! tbh i thought you had at LEAST 20k lmao, you deserve it!

[@BianaBova]

ArtistVanina God I wish!!! 😂 Ty, I'm working on it >:D

[@foxkocreates]

you're awesome. This on really hit home for me. Thanks!
