I haven’t even had a chance to finish this video yet, Sonia but I couldn’t go any further without letting you know that even though you’re hard on yourself you have true fans here (ME!) who love everything you make and offer just the way you offer them !!! I know perfectionism is loud in your head but hopefully this comment will be loud as well 🙏🏽❤️

[@laeonii]

100% agreed!

[@soniastegemann1923]

Wow yes this was powerful thank you so much!

[@josephineforchrist7]

I'm currently binge watching your videos while I am assembling my new closet and tidying up my new apartment and honestly, I couldn't have chosen anything better for that! Thank you so much for blessing our days with your content and making such beautiful art! I am obsessed with your art. Lots of love

[@tlembro]

Two of my recent sayings……..”Well…..so much for being perfect!” And “better done ……than perfect!”

[@soniastegemann1923]

Yes "Finished, not perfect" like Jake Parker says! I should listen to that advice more!^^

[@lorenaxangelina]

Omg your packaging is sooo pretty. It’s so amazing how much love and details you add to it😍🥺✨ and watching you drawing is so relaxing too! 🔮✨

[@soniastegemann1923]

Aww thank you so much!^^

[@cosmo9660]

Love your art

[@CyreneArt]

Loved how the drawing turned out ! It's so pretty ♡

[@soniastegemann1923]

Thank you so much!^^ I'm happy you like it!

[@jonalouis8630]

I'm glade you're back. How was your break ☺️🦋?

[@soniastegemann1923]

Aw thank you!^^ Still taking things easy tbh but I'm feeling so motivated to upload here again and have some videos coming hehe!

[@pixiestyx]

Oh my gosh, so exciting that you're making sketchbooks!! I loved the spread you made in it, as well as your planner spread. I've been wanting to go for a scrapbooking type look in my sketchbooks too, so this is very inspirational! I can relate to not wanting to start or finish things because you feel like it won't be perfect or good enough. I definitely struggle with that too. We are our own worst critics! Your outlook on what sketchbooks are for is motivating and makes me want to draw in mine more.

[@soniastegemann1923]

You're right, the only one worrying or disliking our creations are probably we ourselves:DD I'm so glad in a way to hear that everyone struggles with this (sounds weird since I don't wish this on anyone but misery loves company I guess haha)

[@iluvhellokitty0]

Ur kitty is so cute 💖

[@keeksartcreations418]

I completely get you with the perfectionist vibe, something I have to constantly work on. Your work is amazing and you’re so inspirational, keep going! Where’d you get the folder for your sticker sheet?

[@soniastegemann1923]

Aw thank you so much!

[@Luvniti]

I love your videos so much🥺❤️😍

[@soniastegemann1923]

Thank you🥺 and thank you so much for watching them!!

[@cdebruyne]

i just finished watching, first of all you look great without makeup and you shouldn’t worry much. i enjoy tons watching your videos and listening while i’m at work. this with the sketchbook really inspired me to start mine 💕

[@soniastegemann1923]

Thank you so much!

[@ghostlygoatillustrations]

I love your videos and miss your vlogs! They are so cozy and it's so fun getting to see your process for your art and running your business. I totally understand the struggle with perfectionism though, I struggle with that too. You aren't alone! You look beautiful without makeup, by the way! ❤️

[@soniastegemann1923]

Aw thank you!

[@pinsel_und_farbe_nails]

Die erste Seite im Skizzenbuch ist schonmal super geworden. Gern mehr solche Videos 👍 ich habe auch ein bullet journal aber dieses Jahr hab ich mich mit den Farben und dem design ein bisschen zurück gehalten und es einfach schlicht gelassen. Finde ich auch gut.

[@tlembro]

I was attracted to this video by the beautiful floral image…..but the real clincher were the words “fighting perfectionism!” I hear you! Lifelong crippling disorder in some way. Thank you for this video and you are an inspiration to us all!

[@soniastegemann1923]

Yes, it carries through in almost all parts of life, some more and others less! Maybe we can also apply some of these revelations in other ways too!^^

[@emmaneary6120]

Your sketchbook looks lovely, it's a really nice design (and green is the best colour 😁). I'm a perfectionist too but I also wholeheartedly believe there is no such thing as perfect. I have a theory that if it was possible to have a perfect day, with a perfect idea, and create a perfect piece of art - you'd look at it a year later and somehow it wouldn't be perfect anymore because of how we change our thoughts and feelings all the time. It would only have been perfect for a very short time.

[@soniastegemann1923]

I agree! I also have it both ways, drawings I really liked can turn ugly to me as well as art that I hated back in the day can grow on me if that makes sense:D

[@nanalevine2494]

Where did you buy your sketchbook with the typewriter ? the video are interesting thanks !

[@soniastegemann1923]

The sketchbook is a custom one that will be in my shop soon!^^

[@Gyananina]

I don't comment often but i feel like now i really wan't to say something :) I've just seen the first thee minutes of this vlog and felt the need to comment right away... First: You are beautiful!! With or without make up, you are gorgeous! Not only from the outside but you seem to also be such a kind and caring person! Don't ever think you are not beautiful in any way! Second: I looove your vlogs, actually everything you post. I was so excited to see a new one that i immediately had to see it. Vlogs with beautiful videography or B-Roll or "interesting" Content (whatever that means ;)) are nice aswell, but i actually really like the "not perfect" style in a video, it seems more authentic and it feels like i'am watching a friend and not a show on tv.. It's just more personal and thats why i love them :) Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this content and please carry on just beeing yourself and post your lovely content, i am always excited to see new videos of you! :)

[@soniastegemann1923]

Wow I don't even know what to say, thank you so much for your sweet comment!!! ;_; And thank you for building me up like this!! I personally also really enjoy the more chaotic or simple and natural vlogs of smaller artists so why not also just make what comes natural!^^

[@amberlesilencia3728]

Oh no, please don't think, that your vlogs are not exciting enough! It is the opposite way: For me YOUR vlogs are the most exciting ones and I wish some others would create better ones as well. Because I love to watch them. You are really one of my favorite when it comes to vlogs! You are amazing and the stuff you do is amazing too!

[@soniastegemann1923]

Wow oh my gosh I don't even know what to say, thank you T_T

[@amberlesilencia3728]

@@soniastegemann1923 Just keep doing, what you are doing! :-D Creative minds always doubting themselves, but really your stuff is amazing and I like watching impoving your skills!

[@aianaiya]

my love, let me just tell you that i think you are amazing. and you know i always look up to you. i think it would be so great for you to tell yourself 3 things youre proud of or love about yourself every day! to try and quieten that negative voice. you are too hard on yourself. and from the outside looking in, i just think you have so many wonderful qualities to appreciate about yourself

[@soniastegemann1923]

Aw oh my gosh you are always the sweetest, I will try!

[@PaintBrushBirdie_]

I can completely relate, I do much better with digital art rather than traditional and I can be a perfectionist as well, yet I tend to want to have an enjoyable sketchbook as well Like the sketchbook vids I always see! ~

[@juukaart9530]

I really do understand the struggle of being afraid of trying something new. That's holding me back from learning so much and experimenting. And honestly it's weird how I wasn't that preoccupied about this at the beginning. 🤨🤔 The better I got, the more I was afraid of making mistakes. 😓

[@soniastegemann1923]

This!!! Omg yes, I used to just try and do things, create characters without worrying what other people would think of them and just keep a sketchbook for myself with ugly drawings and quick idea doodles! Maybe this comes from being on social media a lot and being exposed to beautiful art a lot as well as feeling the need to post everything!

[@iluvhellokitty0]

I’m also a perfectionist I will get mad and cry if I mess up the slightest 😭

[@soniastegemann1923]

Oh no I feel that so much ;_;

Also erstmal: Du bist super hübsch mit und ohne Makeup!! Aber wenn du wirklich mal was auftragen willst, was verträglich für empfindliche Haut ist, würde ich dir wärmstens Marry Kay empfehlen. Die Prudukte sind allesamt ohne Parfüme. Und übriges auch nur bei Menschen getestet. Keine Tierversuche. Und falls du doch was nicht vertragen solltest, kannst du jederzeit die Tube zurückschicken und dein Geld zurückbekommen. Selbst wenn das Produckt bereits vollständig aufgebraucht ist. Auf das Skizzenbuch bin ich super gehypet. Ich hab nur noch nicht ganz verstanden, ob das normal zum Kaufen ist oder nur für Patreons. Was den Planer angeht: Ich kenne zwar dieses Gefühl bei richtigen Projekten, aber bei nem Planer? Versteh ich nich ganz XD Ich schreib da immer nur rein, was ich die näschten Tage zu tun habe und wenn er voll ist, kommt er für gewöhnlich weg. Warum Washitape und sticker? Wenn man es hübsch macht will man es doch immer behalten und dann liegt noch mehr unnützes Zeug daheim rum. Die Skizzenbücher heb ich natürlich auch auf. Aber ein Planer bleibt bei mir ein zeitweiliger Nutzgegenstand. Das Kommentar ist natürlich nicht negativ gemeint^^ Du entscheidest, was du damit machst

[@soniastegemann1923]

Aw danke dir! Da muss ich mal schauen, vielleicht ist das ja was für mich!^^ Und das Buch gibt es bei Etsy wenn es da ist! Das mit dem Planer verstehe ich total haha! Ich weiß auch nicht warum ich den so dekorieren will, vielleicht habe ich zu viele Planer Deko Videos gesehen:DD
