[@kristinasmith3910]

I’ve watched this one before…needed a refresher! I love mark making, but I’m not the best at it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Karibee61]

Love the marks, art and beautiful colours on your arms; never cover them for others ❤

I love how you talk about practice bringing confidence and how fun the marks are. Loving your channel.

Love this! Thanks Janet, this is good for the soul!!! Something I always find helpful is using my non-dominant hand. Then you have to loosen up because you have less control 🙂

[@JanetSkatesART]

Yes that is one of my favorites and eyes-closed as well! I often use these during workshops too! Keep up the great work! 🥰

[@janetstrickler3289]

Thanks from another Janet! I am making myself a set of cards with mark-making prompts on them, so I can pick a random series of cards and see what drawings emerge. This gave me lots of ideas!

[@JanetSkatesART]

Oh hello janet! 🥰 I love the idea of your card prompts!!!

Hi Janet! New subscriber! I love your painted pages! So vibrant and colourful 😍 I am doodling a lot lately (I was especially prolific during the pandemic!). Spending my time filling them in these days and experimenting with different mediums/stationery. So much fun! Thank you for posting this tutorial 💗

[@barbaracimini1447]

I’d love to see a part 2 where you “add some color.”

[@jabrayjay6679]

Absolutely love these videos, it's like being able to draw alongside a friend.

[@lynnepfeffer8039]

Very helpful demo! Thanks.

[@JanetSkatesART]

you’re so welcome!

[@legodestructor8161]

this video made my art teacher make a class on this ;-;

[@jacintacesp]

Great video. I was wondering if you could give a few demos of how you might do mark making of specific objects. Like a tree, or leaf. I find I want to sketch a scene and just hint at different elements, but don't have the "marks" to make that happen.

[@JanetSkatesART]

Hi Caroline! I’ll work on something like this for you!

[@jacintacesp]

@@JanetSkatesART that would be great 🙏🙏

[@63artemisia63]

Listing your tools in your description would shorten this video by 5 minutes. (You can also include your Instagram info there.) For many of us 9 minutes is a long video, especially when what we want to see are the actual mark making techniques. Thanks! Oh, did you know you can make videos in Instagram?

[@63artemisia63]

The marks on your arms are competing for my attention with the marks on the board. Can you cover or remove for videos? Some of us would appreciate it 💕❤️💕

Youre drawing from your wrist, no ghosting, zigzagging lines, etc... please dont give others advice if youre doing it the wrong way
