Hey, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everything you tell us. I'm 16 and I want to make art my life once I grow up and sometimes I don't pick up my sketchbook, because I think I'm too bad and that I'm wasting my time. But your words make me think totally different now. A sketchbook is not made to create perfect masterpieces but to just simply create art. Art that makes you happy, or that makes you think and much more. Thank you so much! I wish you the best life ever.

This video is PERFECT! Even i used to think why should i waste pages?(coz i cant buy a lot of sketchbooks)I always used to think, If im drawing, i should draw something great! But if i am not knowing the basics or without practice i cant do something good or satisfying . So now im just drawing everything i see to practice ❤ And your video was a confirmation that sketchbooks need not be perfect 💞I hope u keep spreading your knowledge to everyone 🖌🙏Tysm for ur videos 🤗❤

Hey kim, I just turned 70! I started drawing very young, but stopped because of of this same feeling . . . I am just now learning how to "adjust" old drawings, finish them, use posca pens and gouache to wipe out awkward body parts, etc. It has given me so much freedom and enjoyment, and every line I draw or brush mark I make, I am building muscle memory and gaining understanding of what I draw.

We forget drawing is actually just a medium we all express ourselves in! Especially now that everyone is trying to make a living out of it i think its been commercialized to the point that we forget to enjoy it in the first place. With this video, you have surely managed to rekindle something i have been missing for a while. The sheer freedom of just drawing things that mean a lot to you. My heartfelt thank you to you sir. This has inspired me so much.

While I may agree with you, the art nerd in me has to add that art is way less commercialised than it has been in the past. Up until Michelangelo’s time and even further, art wasn’t exactly seen as a tool to express oneself but rather a trade that was sold like any other. Only in recent times (the last few hundred years) there has been a big general push to make art more expressive, as art became more accessible to both the consumers and the artists themselves, as well as that realism “wasn’t needed anymore” after the camera was invented.

@@vornamenachname3441 I do agree to you! I think what I meant was that while art will always be a medium of expression, it’s the hustle culture in today’s world that can make us forget to enjoy what we were doing in the first place if you know what I mean, it can be detrimental to the act of creativity itself. It’s like a rat race, but it doesn’t only apply to the arts, it applies to almost everything. +expressionism did come out of the need to do something more however, but even realist painters were expressing themselves through their brushwork, unless they were just making a copy without thinking, I think even realism has expression. However yes! art is generally given more acceptance and is seen as a medium of creativity now more than ever so that’s a great thing for sure. I think what we all need is to slow down really.

I think the best thing about this video is that you aren't really challenging us or telling us what to do or in what way to do something. You're inspiring us and letting us know it's okay if we mess up. It's a concept I'm struggling with, that same voice in the head saying nah not today, what if I don't do well, what if I hate it, I'm not that great at this maybe I should procrastinate and watch more art videos (coincidently) lol... we all have this silly fear that every drawing or painting should be excellent when really just like our days (as you said) not all are great, most are just okay, and some will surprise us! I like that sentiment that drawings and paintings, whatever art you do... is about retelling your life, or your innerself and the things you find beauty or interest in. It doesn't matter how it turns out. Just do art , do it for yourself and no one else. Being a human enables us this gift, why not use it... it is never a waste to create, but it is a waste to sit there thinking you shouldn't or can't create. If you like it. Do it. Thanks for sharing this insight. It's a mantra I'm only just starting to practice and accept in myself.

I do not think you should just shelve them away to await your untimely demise...before the public can have the pleasure and privilege of enjoying their brilliance and beauty while learning from all the thought and work that has gone into producing them. I am so glad to have crossed your path and am now trying to follow along... such an adventure.

I have been creative all my life. I’ve painted portraits, ceramics and everything else that stood still. I craft a lot doing crochet, making wreaths, painting glass and doing calligraphy. You get the idea. Even though sketching and painting is my first love and the first thing I think about every morning when I wake up, I always managed to lose my way even with every conceivable art supply imaginable in my arsenal. After I read Shut Your Monkey and listening to Danny I discovered a new way of thinking and a better attitude about what I create and I’ve managed to get back to what I love starting with my sketchbooks. I sketch everyday and paint in watercolor too all because of Danny. Now as someone in their mid-seventies, I am finally on my way to becoming the artist I always wanted to be. I can attest to the fact that…its NEVER to late to be what you might have been. Create with no reservations.

I could never come up with anything that was my own, and I was always just drawing what I saw on Pinterest. I never stopped though. I know art won’t be my career because I don’t want to taint something I love so much with work stress, but it really is therapy. I recently went through a breakup and haven’t stopped drawing all week. It’s really hard but art is everything to me and so many others. Thank you for your inspiring words.

I'm about to start my "10 hours a day drawing practice for 3 years" next month after i get done with my university entrance exam, so that i can get better at art. Your video reminded me to not forget to have fun when i do all that, Which is very very important, and i sometimes forget it out of anxiety(fear of not improving and not being good). So thank you very much. I just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate the video you made. I'm going to thank you again 3 years later. Hope you have a great day every day.

Loved this video ❤️ I always forget that a sketchbook isn’t even meant for perfect or even finished pieces. They’re not something that I have to show to anyone. It’s just something to practise with, express myself, or get out ideas for a future project. It’s so easy to think that making a sketch should be perfect - why can’t I just see if something works or not? I can! It’s taken me years to figure out such a simple concept.

Thank you. I've decided that I need to change my mindset. I need to enjoy the process instead of learning to draw or paint for the end result but just enjoy doing whatever I do (for example I love mixing colours). I made the mistake when I was young of doing things because I wanted the end product, eg knitting a short sleeved cardigan; and things didn't get finished. I didn't necessarily enjoy the knitting but wanted the item. When I got older I started knitting bootees with eyelet lace and donating them. They were small and quick to make and I could do different patterns. I didn't like stitching them up and gave some to friends to do that but got to the stage where I had no choice but to do it myself and ended up being quite proficient at it and of course loved seeing the finished pair of bootees. Even when I was making quilled cards I would be making one and thinking of what I would do next. I need to enjoy the process and focus on the now not the next. I can remember a time when I learned to make 3D stars from a paper strip and would sit and make them whilst watching TV in the evening. Hubby asked what I was making them for. I said they aren't for anything I just enjoy making the. That's what I need to do whilst surreptiously learning to draw and paint. I hope someone gets something from this comment, however it's ended up being me telling myself something so it's at least been helpful for me. Thanks for reading. Happy processing!

@@SketchBookSkool Thanks. It's taken me a long time (I'm now 67), but at least I've got there. The other day I found a sketch of a real orchid flower that I did in my late teens and was surprised at how good it is. Everything else that I've done is copy drawing but even if that's all I ever end up doing so long as I enjoy doing it. And Merry Christmas to you. I'm in Australia and it is early Christmas morning here.

@ Hi Kim. I realised recently that I've been an art supply collector, not and art doer. I've shocked at how many things I have. I found a tin of 72 Derwent Artist grade colour pencils that all I have done is open them, and I had completely forgotten about them. I think I've had them for about 15 years and think I got them on a really good special. I've also got 6 x 1 litre bottles (cool & warm reds, C&W blues, C&W yellows) UNOPENED; they still have the seals. They were probably bought around the same time as the pencils. They have separated but I've been turning them so as to mix them. They will be fine for practising and having fun. Time to start using them. I've just started doing the Drawabox lessons (and can now draw a straight line from point to point). He says to do 50/50. For your art time do 50% lessons and 50% having fun doing whatever you want. I hope you have fun too! I've done a copy from a line drawing of a gecko (the image I used has 5 toes! per foot) and a lyrebird from a magazine photo. I was disappointed when I first did them but when I looked at them later, even though I could see things that could be improved they actually both looked quite good. I've decided not to do formal classes, at least at this time, because when I see others doing really well it discourages me and then I wouldn't want to go back. I was very pleased the other day. I went in to check to see what art supplies a local store has and I didn't buy anything. I managed to not buy something unnecessary yesterday when I dropped in to buy a couple of things that I did need. Happy arting!

Today I started a faux stained glass painting and it feels amazing! Now I’m gonna keep my drawing journal nearby, and take it with me when I go out. I’m going to start drawing again - Starting today - every day.
