Face Your Sketchbook Fears! // 5 Tips

[@JelArts]

Thank you so much for 300k subscribers! I can't believe this!!

[@old-channel-here]

You better believe it! Your videos are so amazing and I love watching them

[@Waynimations]

Feeling confident in starting a sketchbook is the best feeling

[@mashkuu8627]

I see you in all JelArt's videos ! Your talented and your animation are super nice !

[@Waynimations]

Mashkuu thank you! I learn a lot from watching talented artists

[@hi-bk6sy]

Ikr! Once i started becoming more confident in drawing in my sketchbook, my art got a lot better. Also, i really like your profile pic! It looks really well drawn :)

[@witchykei4109]

Also, don't be afraid to let your sketchbook double as a scrapbook or a journal. The more you use your sketchbook in general, the more comfortable you'll be with drawing anything in it.

[@JelArts]

Very true!

[@rileyapple3394]

unrelated but nice pfp

[@LlamaFreak]

Purposefully make a garbage looking page, then you wont feel so bad! Definitely the best method :)

[@JelArts]

That's what I did! Lol

[@LlamaFreak]

@@JelArts it's really the best method imo! (Congrats on 300k!)

[@leilazerrouki7040]

The counter point of buying an inexpensive sketchbook is if it can't handle a medium you like working with and the only thing left to work and exercise with it is a special paper... The risk is to be more afraid to use that medium and to not use it at the end. I tried an inexpensive sketchbook in where I couldn't do inks, the result is that I almost stop using inks for the entire time I had it and I'm now afraid of using them again. It was only a month. But of course if the inexpensive sketchbook can handle the wanted medium, it's better than an expensive one if there's fear of ruining it.

[@JelArts]

Yeah, that's kind of of the trade off! If you get a super cheap sketchbook then it might not really work well with the stuff you're used to using. I find that at least ballpoint pen and pencil work ok on almost every kind of paper I've tried, though! You run into the most trouble with wet media.

[@revelhilary]

Maybe the option would be to not go SUPER cheap and just get the cheapest of the sketchbooks for the media you want to use, I usually have several sketchbooks at the same time for different things and they’re all pretty cheap (one for water color, one for mix media, one for random pencil/pen sketches and a more expensive one for the GOOD stuff 😅) a couple of them I made myself with things I had already so i feel less bad about ruining them

[@amelialovecraft5621]

A good tip I've come to use is making a small 10 page sketchbook out of Bulk cardstock you can get from most office supplies stores. The paper is a decent weight to support a wetter medium, but it takes some experimenting.

[@moonwatcher4263]

you are so good at art, its so fun to just mess around in your sketch book

[@JelArts]

Yeah it's lots of fun!

[@danaekolyva3309]

I have a lil tip for starting a new sketchbook: maybe get some of your loose paper drawings that you have lying around and stick them in there! Then you will have already put something in it and it will feel less intimidating.

[@sammispaghettiart]

I have the opposite problem. I draw in my sketchbook with abandon, but I struggle to make anything finished haha TvT

[@Gleamiarts]

I have four sketchbooks going at the moment, one photo studies/reference sketchbook, two doodle sketchbooks and one "nice" sketchbook. I sometimes cut sketches out of the doodle ones if it looks interesting and I put it in the nice one. It definitely helps with getting a cheap sketchbook or even using a notebook to draw in, though it can't take media like watercolours.

[@monkeymintaka]

Nice tips :) I loved the girl you blocked out the eyes etc of. Sometimes I think covering mistakes adds to the whole look of the sketch.

[@signeo2118]

i can't even describe how helpful this advice is. fr fr. i haven't been able to draw freely in my sketchbook for a few years now, but this. this gives me so much hope. i felt inspired when i sat down to draw. idk how you do it but your videos always impact me in the biggest ways and i am just so,, thankful. so thank you

[@erindrawings7108]

I love when you sketch with colour

[@orpheus3756]

Jel I’ve found your channel like yesterday but OMG ty for everything you do your videos are so useful!!!

[@jo6386]

Thanks for all this videos, they're so helpfull and congrats for 300k!!

[@PackRatGirl]

I know this doens't apply for everyone, but sometimes I also just paint over a page. I love the way pens feel over acrylic paint in my super cheap sketchbook so for some of my bad gesture drawings I'll slap a coat of paint and doodle over it.

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

Also, a good thing that helped me is thinking "I can always erase it." It really helps. It helped me stop being so stressed and feeling like I had to get it right first time, because no one does, and that's perfectly fine. Erasing is always an option, and it's really good to keep that in mind.

[@flowers_and_ann]

Congratulations for your milestone and a great video ♡

[@greylee26]

I really love your videos, they motivate me a lot! When I watch your videos I want to stop what I am doing, sit and just draw

[@katluna9769]

[@blessmeachoo9418]

Jel, your videos are super cool!!!💜

[@wendyz1309]

You always inspire me so much, thanks!!!! Lysm❤❤

[@MrPolycount]

I use to care about doing perfect art in a sketch book... Whatever that it. Now I work around the mistakes, the book isonly for ideas, or random doodles to calm me. Sometimes one of the things might look cool. I went to Barnes and Noble after seeing Alita Battle Angel, I was looking for a small sketchbook, but passed on it for a cooler looking lined paper journal book... That will be my next sketchbook.

[@peachiedot8902]

in middle school, in my art class, almost all of my friends were a lot better artists than me, but they had started recently. so they alo had these fears, and i was drawing since i was old enough.

[@alexaqtpie]

I get most of my sketchbooks for around $3 and it really helps

[@jiannairis]

Great video 👍🏻 When is your next sketchbook tour? I’m excited to see it!!! 🤗

[@JelArts]

Probably not for another month. I'm glad you're excited! That means a lot : ')

[@benesp6278]

Enjoy drawing! If you putting in time, it's not waste regardless of the outcome. Remember, every piece prepares you for the next. Be proud :)

[@lieflove12]

Usually my first few sketches look the best to me and then the quality just decreases. It's like I'm running out of fuel. Like I want to drive but I can't.

[@abigailhyde2697]

That may happen. Tell yourself before drawing, that this is going to be the best page. Take your time drawing. Try to draw things in one sitting though.

[@benb3316]

Well when you get a cheap one you have easily tearing weak paper that makes you afraid to try stuff. Then again, stuff out today is really good. Canson XL mixed media for example. I even PAINT in those - watercolor, gouache, acrylic... Also the Hobby Lobby equivalent is cheaper and warps a little more with wet media but works good. Weekly coupon, occasional 1/2 off sale for either store you'll get it for less than you spend on a Latte at Starbucks. Now obviously you can't wet the whole thing for a soaky watercolor. But you can use a watercolor pad and sketch with it having lots of colors and let it dry a few minutes. Or huge ink soaking and again limited diluting ink with water. Personally I keep a seperate "Practice Only" book I try to fill a page or 1/2 a page daily with sketches, like from Pinterest to just practice drawing. Faces, figures, hands, book covers, scenes... Keep it seperate from creative project notes. Really helped.

[@yuumedreams]

I treat my sketchbook as a place for my doodles and finished works (i also got cardstock for finished works too). I also tend to use them for note taking if really need to write it down and the only paper accessible is my sketchbook XD If i do doodles on scrap paper, I tape them in my sketchbook too xD

[@erindrawings7108]

I have those brush markers ❤️❤️

[@megmeg2784]

I use a notebook rather than a sketchbook. I don't have to face a blank page which helps me a lot.

[@gabicoon]

Ta vidéo a réussi à apaiser mes pensées. Merci

[@fogsmog9325]

It’s jel and juice time! 🕒🍇🍎

[@abby4684]

My strategy is to ruin it early on so i dont feel bad later. Either that or i just do watercolor washes on pages i dont like, it really does make even the worst art look a bit better.

[@anamariefalk3796]

I’ve been finding myself recently being really weird about sketching now that I’m in art school, and I kinda lose confidence with my sketches when they don’t look clean. Like- I want messy sketchbooks, but I don’t want to use graphite because of all the smearing. I feel like using graphite will help me get looser though. Idk, Ive been having a lot of weird doubts recently

[@emmettowl]

I can't stand things that smear either. (Or anything that creates dust. Bleh!) For loosening up, I've been using a "Koh-I-Noor Magic Lead" pencil for sketching. It's really huge and the colour changes as you use it, so it basically takes a whole bunch of your control away. And the outcome always looks quite satisfying even if the sketch itself isn't great!

[@UndercoverMuffinz]

whenever i see you using art supplies that i dont have i keep telling myself i dont need them i dont need them... and then i cave and order them online lol im literally spongebob from that episode. This video is important and helpful, thank youuuu!!!

[@artistblock8538]

I have this issue and bought me a cheap sketchbook it helps for a minute then I hit that wall that says you're going to mess this up so my mind builds a super mental wall or hurdles that I can't seem to get over If i do manage to make it over one there's another more difficult hurdle or wall to get over and it's an ongoing issue or battle i can't seem to win any tips for this it has kept me from drawing for years now

[@kreonomy]

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

This is tottaly me. I am always afraid of ruining my sketch books

[@nicolewoodward3209]

HOW CAN I DRAW LIKE YOUUUUUUU!!!!!????❤️😱😱

[@jaimesteele8385]

What kills my drive with sketchbooks is my need for colors but whenever I put a bit of copic/promarker in there it bleeds through and it feels like I've ruined the next blank page every time ;; any sketchbook/paper brand to recommend?

[@JelArts]

Hmmm maybe try using watercolour instead? That doesn't bleed through! It's hard to find paper that doesn't bleed with alcohol markers unless you pay a lot of money.

[@kathyovalle1314]

I hate watching these type of videos cause I feel so motivated to create and do art and then I remember I can’t actually draw and I feel frustrated and sad

[@emmettowl]

The illustrator Chris Riddell says that if you can make marks on a piece of paper, then you can draw. If you feel like doing art, then do some art! No one needs to see the outcome. Just have fun.

[@nasserfirelordarts6574]

Now my question is thought process, or is it just a pure process of imagination and creation occuring simultaneously, your hands leading your mind through a subconscious flow of art, more like a day dream than thought out art, and upon completion, you awake from the day dream, a daydream of creation, yet of non realization coexisting in one entity, or rather, are you merely practicing what whilst you need ? I wonder... Art, they call it... Quite the strange entity of indefinable , well everything, medium, radius, ability, thought process, methods, means, and so on and so forth, into infinity, and beyond...

Ah, lately I’ve been treating my sketchbook as a place for doodles instead of drawings and I got 16 pages filled with doodles in one day. I was so happy. The next I day I did 3 because I needed to give my wrist some rest (of course I’m always doing wrist stretches), but now drawing has become 10x more fun with this new mindset shift.

[@Kassabonn]

Your video's about sketching have really helped me out. I've started using some old markers to sketch and I finally can get myself to sketch. I didn't sketch for months and now sometimes I wake up and when I can't get back to sleep I Just get some markers look up random pictures on Pinterest and try and recreate it with random Bright colours. And It makes me so happy. Thank you💚

[@Saturninemute]

I used to draw/sketch a lot like 5 years ago but I stopped for various reasons, mostly depression and self-esteem. I'm still dealing with those issues but sketching really intimidates me especially now that I'm out of practice. I have a digital tablet and even with unlimited sketch pages, I'm still terrified to make mistakes and not let loose. Hopefully one day that'll be broken, thanks for the tips! It's sad how your own insecurities and fears can really ruin a passion like art...

[@ikea_bear1791]

Uncertain Wave awww I know how that feels, same situation here. What helps me is if I’m really into a tv show or subject, I’ll look up references about them and just have the sketchbook in front of me and draw while watching videos or a movie just to feel more at ease?? Remind yourself that no one is going to judge you for your artwork, and that sketching helped you develop and gain that confidence back :) hope you find inspiration and that any pain or sadness goes away.

[@Saturninemute]

@@ikea_bear1791 Aw that's for the reply! That's a really good idea, you can zone out into your movies/shows or whatever while practicing, that's so smart how come I never thought of that! Thank you so much, I hope you're having a wonderful day! c:

Is it just me or is it really hard starting a sketch book? It's not that I don't have ideas..I have plenty of ideas it's just I get so anxious because none of the first couple pages look right and they're trash and then I break down on the floor because I'm a total failure

[@emmettowl]

Try skipping the first page. Or start with a random page in the middle. Minnie Small fills her sketchbooks in a random order.

[@sillygooseenergy]

First off, same. Second, don't be afraid. You don't have to show your sketch book to people if you don't want to. Also cheap sketchbooks from the dollar store are great to practice in. Third, love the profile picture and the username lol.

[@thatwasverypunny.-.]

just skip a page or just put the idea you wanted on it. if it looks trash to you, then just let it look trash. it's all about trial and error, that's what a sketchbook is for. nothing in your sketchbook has to look 100% perfect. you don't have to take my advice, i probably suck at giving advice anyway.

Via_Crucis _ ASMR for artists ^_^

[@moma-b]

My two ways of coping with this: 1) I use 4-5 sketchbooks at the same time, plus I paint on single sheets too. 4 of my sketchbooks are for doodling, experimenting and having fun, and only one of them is reserved for nice drawings and paintings. Everything I draw in that book is carefully planned. I do experiments in my other 4 sketchbooks and once I feel I can do this the way I want to, then I do it in the nice sketchbook. 2) I overpaint the parts I don't like with black paint and put a golden 💛 on top of it. 😂

[@akualikewater]

the cat was my favorite sketch! i also felt that feeling of being to precious with my sketchbook. Next thing i know i have 5 sketchbooks i havent used fully because i want it to be perfect! A great drawing doesnt always just happen as you are inspired to draw, it sometimes happens through this warm up process like you said! Really lovely video by the way!!!

[@backstreet51]

Interestingly I found Im the opposite with nice quality vs crappy quality sketchbooks. whenever i have cheap ones i get demotivated by it. dont know whether its a mindset thing KNOWING it's shit? usually if it's a cheap spiral bound one i end up hating it. but whenever i have a nice bound one which is usually more expensive i get all excited to fill it up. the first time i ever filled a sketchbook after years of cheap ones was when i got my first moleskine when I was 17. everytime i switch it up i've noticed this trend and the nice one ends up making me want to do more art.

[@J_Schwartz]

Thank you so much for this video! So many great tips to help me conquer being afraid to sketch in my sketchbooks!

[@teja3778]

In my local art shop, there are sketchbooks for just £1, (I live in the UK, so we use pounds, I’m not sure what £1 is in America and Canada) and the sketchbooks have 40 pages. They’re really cheap, considering that everything in that art shop is expensive. I feel more comfortable using those cheap sketchbooks, I fill them way quicker than other sketchbooks.

[@loltryme215]

I rarely sketch at school just because i have the rudest and loudest students in all my subjects. Even if my sketchbook is full of stuff I don't care about, I still just hate how people walk up to me and look through my sketchbook without my permission. I know it's easy to avoid but I doodle stuff when i' bored during class and it keeps me occupied and stops me from day dreaming.

[@Jusangen]

I am terrified of my sketchbook! I struggle just to start. I’ve always drawn other cartoons and feel very uncomfortable drawing “off the cuff.” Those cathartic words being said, I’ve been thinking about how much I consume compared to how much I produce. I don’t want to be a person that ONLY consumes KZbin videos of art and not actually drawing. Fortunately every time I’ve mustered up the courage to sketch I’ve really enjoyed the process though and can be proud of what I’ve made. I appreciate you advice and love the idea of just starting simply with laying down color shades. Kids can do that! So can I! Really admire your art style and hope to keep learning more from you!

I definitely agree that sketchbooks don't have to be "perfect".

But I am trying to accept the fact that sketchbook book has no rules and just playing around is acceptable ^^

[@oldzensoul]

Something about the font and wording made me think the title was backwards for sketch your Facebook fears HAHAHAH

[@WPFreeinternet]

For me it is buy many sketch books so pages seem less precious. I don't fill out pages like you do most of the time. What I like about pages being worth less is that if I've been struggling with something and don't like the look of it I can just turn the page. I can redraw it on my new page, but I won't dwell on it. It isn't bad to have bad art in there, to see your failures. You can look at it an analyze it and see where you might have gone wrong. It is a great motivation when it is something you don't like looking at so you're hellbent in not seeing it continue.
