Hey you! Yeah you, grab your nearest cheap pen and start doodling! Also my shop has lots of new stuff as mentioned in the video, here's the link! shopjelarts.com/

There's been a lot of blackbirds eating the berries in the rowan tree outside my window, so for a few days I have been sketching them. I used to use only black ballpoint pens for sketching for the longest time, and then moved to pencils for the last few years. I should try a ballpoint pen again and see how it feels now 😄

[@oneinathousand2156]

Blue pens and other dark-colored pens besides black add a little extra something that makes doodling more fun

[@biggerweff]

I like when weevils go 'hrmm'. Nice snooter

[@vixenvarya]

if you want something unusual to draw, look up a micro-lifeform called a tardigrade, or water bear, they are so cool and I think your style would make them super cute!

[@amandasmith1236]

I watch while working my full time job. Seeing you draw, and not being able to draw at the moment myself, really builds up that motivation and desire. I just want to draw right now! And I can't!

[@ChantelleArts]

I love this sketchy style, it's so pretty! the collage aspects are really fun too ❤

[@meuikii9255]

Love all the textures in this spread!! I also love drawing in pen, but mainly just because I can’t stand the way graphite rubs off on the next page

[@JelArts]

Oooh yes its great for avoiding smudges!

[@lovingchuuya]

I draw while i listen to ur videos and i dont know what you put in them everytime my piece, or doodle, or whatever turns out so good 💗💗

[@KerberosV3]

10:40 that specific bug is sitting on my pinterest "Draw Later" board right now, imma take this as a sign to draw it later this week !

[@JudasBlack]

Your art looked awesome, and good ideas! I was painting my OC in gouche while watching, trying out painting on wood for the first time basically as well!

[@pt.bonesy]

I collect bugs and idk about the whole community but the majority of the bug collecting community and all of the people I’ve meet who preserve pinned or resin cased insects source them humanely, either with bugs they find or they take care of the insects until they die of naturally causes (most insects don’t live very long, unfortunately). Like, you get a moth larva, raise it until it’s reaches its last metamorphosis, then when the moth naturally passes away you scoop it up and pin it. I also have met people who keep pet tarantulas and pin their shed exoskeleton’s whenever they grow bigger and also preserve bones/animals they happen upon that are already dead. Vulture culture I believe it’s called.

[@bookshelfhoney]

I'm painting a pumpkin! I loved all the little guys :)

[@JonescalypsoASMR]

I tried a warm up while I was watching this. Just took some markers and colored in some rectangles all over the page. Then doodled over them with pencil and then black ink. No rules, no perfection, like you said (here or in another video, I've been bingeing a few). But yeah, it was a fun and freeing process :) And got me more in the mood to draw.

[@hilarybush2748]

I didn't expect it to be weevil time! Weevils are so cute 🥰

[@analudraws]

ohh that's so smart! I have always ended up with extra acrylic gouache! Thanks for a great inspiring video!

[@denrribles2564]

Your videos inspire me a lot to work on new things that I’ve never tried drawing before. While watching this video I worked on studies of chubbier bodies, and your voice sounding constantly made me more inspired to learn.

[@studio_farrago]

I always find myself going back to ballpoint. Thanks for a lovely video!

[@JelArts]

It's such a basic & nice supply!

[@MarleLen]

I drew a tree while listening to you. I found your channel by pure chance and I rly enjoy your videos!

[@JelArts]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy them:))

[@Greenman12399]

one thing I do to preserve acrylic paint is buying or makeing a rasied pallet then putting saran wrap over it (I made a pallet buy cutting up a icecream lid so you just have the outer frame and glueing it onto another icecream iid)

[@sweetteasippen]

Beautiful video!!! I’d love to see more of your process like this!!! ❤

[@Cloudyfoxes]

Ooooo I love the witch!

[@christel5895]

I want to start drawing more, improving etc. since I've not been too inspired so while I watched this (will do this on a later date) I started a witchtober challenge! nothing I'll share but something for myself and to get back in the groove of things :)

[@JasmineZellmer]

This is such a cute page! I'm a sucker for purple, it's my favorite color. I think you might like the sharpie S-gel pens, especially in blue. They're really smooth, and the blue one breaks down in water into blues and purples! I have a couple vids recently that show how it breaks down, it's really cool! I'm about to start working on Kattober!

[@vampirthelop8442]

Many people that collect dead bugs get them from people that breed these bugs or keep them as pets; at least that's the case for butterflies, moth and big spiders (e.g. Tarantulas)

[@burgeryoufoundbehindthegrill]

Witches and Weevils sounds like a role-playing game

[@JelArts]

It does have a nice ring to it!

[@Lunakuna08]

*CRYING (not actually) I SEARCHED IT UP THEY KILL THE BUGS WHEN COLLECTED* 😭😭

[@artpaws4966]

This video was so inspiring! Your art is sooo cute!!! I was drawing my animal characters doing different things in scenes in my sketchbook with a simple pencil. I will definitely draw with a ball point pen in the next 10 mins. 😁😆

[@kittuffincafe]

I love the color combo! I will definitely do this, I have some pages sitting painted that I haven't touched yet haha. I am so curious about that pen! It looks so nice to draw with!!!

[@jillianchamp]

I love this idea thank you! Oh, and I’m painting, a mushroom forest in my sketchbook🍄🌳

[@icebearstudios2757]

i love the witch character sm!!

[@MochaMintz]

me when all my ballpoint pens are dried out: ok but this is an amazing video, I've been a fan for a bit and just recently got back into your vids. They make me want to grab my sketchbook and draw along :D

[@melaniehofer5467]

Really awesome love the page a lot ❤

[@pinklavenderlove]

I randomly pulled out my Pilot Juice.7 pens today to sketch and thought, why don't I use pen more? and then came home to sketch with you and saw your video was about using pen🤩

[@KetchupCanvas]

I use highlighters a lot in my sketchbook, I love the colors and the feel on paper 😊

[@JelArts]

Highlighters are really fun in a sketchbook, I agree!

[@Hazeleyes_JJs]

GROUNDED!!!! 🥹

[@JelArts]

I love that game so much!!!

[@cassieclark4384]

Oh can we see the painting you made for your dad after you give it to him? ☺️

[@tikaepixwhom666]

I wound embroidery thread while watching this. Thanks for the inspiration !!

[@SpontaneousSketches]

Jeltober 2023? 👀
