✧ i noticed!! looks cute! ✧

[@LucKyCreates.]

It looks really nice! :)

[@venetiry499]

it's so cute ^^

[@SweetStickyMango]

Its very cute

[@frekklefoxart3045]

I love it 💜

[@kendrasmith4661]

Last week I threw some left over gouache paint on a sketchbook page because I didn't want to just let it dry. Such a good decision!! I just did random shapes and lines, but now that the page is already "messed up," I can draw and doodle whatever on top of it without worrying about what it looks like. Filled the page with cute and ugly sketches and I didn't worry about it!

[@renapiee6543]

This is such a cool idea , I might try it too :D

[@mynroguest]

What a great idea!!!

[@yuliamary6308]

I'm excited for a sketchbook tour of this one since so far it looks messy but in a way where it feels like you're just going with the flow and not feeling restraint by perfectionism or self doubt and I just love it

[@JelArts]

Thank you!! I feel that way too

[@Loreli45]

watercolors, gouache, waterbased markers, pencils, and colored pencils- a mix media approach in each illustration 👍🏻

[@maggieburton5020]

1) a mechanical pencil, preferably with 0.7 lead 2) Water-based markers, I really like the Koi brush pens but I only have a few of them! 3) A super thin liner (my favorite is the Pilot G-Tec-C4!!!) 4) Zebra mildliners are. simply divine. chefs kiss 5) soft colored pencils like prismacolor!

[@trishakhat1703]

Actually you can revive brushes covered in dried acrylics with nail polish remover ^^ I have this beautiful oval brush that got covered in it and was useless for over 6 months! Then I got some acetone (polish remover) and it dissolved and was good as new :3

[@mynroguest]

Wow!! I didn't knew that,thank you

[@winnie5873]

I usually use alcohol markers and colored pencils, but I recently purchased a set of oil pastels just for fun and they are actually really amazing and fun to layer. I try to be a perfectionist with my art and these force you to go outside those boundaries which I’m having fun with :)

[@KaysKlumzAdventures]

I like the purple in your hair, very pretty shade and I liked the shorts you had on, I think they look cute :)

[@jillianetuk5189]

this type of video's are so much fun to watch and the art is amazing as always😊😁🥰💕

[@JelArts]

I'm glad to hear that!

[@best_of_ant]

Basically what I use all the time in my sketchbooks is cheap watercolor, ink and water based markers. I've been trying to paint first and then ink it without a sketch underneath (unless I want to add more texture) and just go straight in with the ink pens and markers and it's been going quite well so far :D.

[@JelArts]

Ooo I've been doing something kind of similar! It's pretty fun to explore painting things first and then going over it with ink or something else.

[@shoelace7676]

OH MY GOODNESS SHES SO CUTEE

[@ZoeLeigh01]

most of our favorite supplies are the same actually. i also do printmaking, but that isn't really a sketchbook thing (i do make some test prints in my sketchbook occasionally but it's still not really sketchbook based except for like design ideas n stuff). watercolor and gouache are my go to supplies; i also mix my white gouache to get thicker paint or as a way to lighten a color without losing pigment. graphite is always great, and i really love water soluble graphite! my colored pencil phases come and go a lot, but i'm currently in a colored pencil phase so i've been using that in my sketchbook and with my watercolors lately. some other supplies i enjoy are my posca pens, copics (but like on a piece of marker paper taped in lol), and regular ole liner pens. mixed media is a must for my sketchbooks bc not only do i love using watercolor, i like to use a lot of water. so my paper has to handle wayyyy too much water lol

[@samantharankinstinamisan5583]

Usually watercolor with colored pencil or chalk pastel pencil. But recently started acrylic paints (soft & heavy)....

[@alexej6080]

For my sketchbook it's mostly soluble graphite pencils (graphitint by Derwent), brush pens filled with ink, fineliners, ecoline and waterbased markers for kids, and watercolour pencils. Cool thing to do with those waterbased markers is you can take a waterbrush to them and make it look like watercolour, or use the marker on something plastic and pick up the pigment with your brush from there. It's really fun!

[@ghostlygoatillustrations]

I'm so glad to see you posting again! I love your videos, they always inspire me to pull out my sketchbook!

[@sink1959]

My top 5 are probably Graphite, watercolor pencils, regular coloured pencils (/pencil crayons), charcoal, pen and ink or ink with brushes and i have been enjoying watercolour graphite lately a lot

[@ChrisChaos666]

1. Any sketch book but have been using strathmore mixed media sketch book 2. Blending stump 3. Tombow mono eraser 4. Kuru toga 0.5mm mechanical pencil with 2B lead 5. Colored pencils :)

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I love the vibrant colours on this page. 😊

[@JelArts]

Thank you!

[@bee4697]

My main sketching supplies are actually pretty similar to yours! I use watercolour, coloured pencils, cheap markers, graphite and ball point pens. I've been trying to get into gouche but none of the stores near me sell any so I have a odd assortment of colours. Thank you so much for this video! You never cease to make me feel inspired to do art

[@learningstupid1016]

I always forget what you look like and then you show your face and my first instinct is"awwww" your one of my favorite art youtubers. Thanks for being great.

[@vivianhuff2775]

My top 5 art supplies I have been using recently are Colored pencils,faber castell markers,random art supplies,graphite pencils and posca pens

[@BethDooner]

So legit same for sketching aside from coloured marker pens, I tend to use straight up black fine liners. Simply because I do like to colour everything in my sketchbook and I can never be confident that the colourful stuff wont blend together. I discovered gouache last year and it's one of my fave things to work with now, so versatile! I know you weren't a huge fan when you got them, but I also like to work with graphite watercolours in my sketchbook, because once you get used to consistency, I actually find them quite forgiving to use (being able to watercolour-lift them AND erase them) and useful for doing a quick wash of tones. I love love love how colourful your work is though, and I was so happy to see we use so many of the same supplies.

[@gamesfps8798]

Love your art style and mix media

[@briannar.909]

GOT ALERT AND CLICKED ❤️❤️✨✨

[@hannahsoto3309]

SAME

[@jimbosmith5863]

I do a lot of mixed media stuff too! I use essentially the same as you but I also use ink a lot (brush pens usually). Lately I've been really loving putting ink and especially graphite over gouache. The shininess of the graphite really shows and you can add more texture, and the ink can allow for really dark areas that gouache sometimes cant do on it's own. I really liked this video! It inspired me to draw, and to lean into the mixed media messiness more than I let myself sometimes.

[@corruptedteka]

Tbh I've wanted to branch out forever, but I'm a shut-in and I pretty much live on my bed, so... I just use the same supplies all the time. Just mechanical pencil, black fine liner pens, watercolors and a water brush, and a white posca pen for highlights. Sometimes I might use metallic gel pens as well but that's rare.

[@someonesomewhere1100]

I love your art I also love dry shampoo, at the least..

[@oswinaltava]

I've been in an art block lately and been wanting to get into more mixed-media type art, so this is perfect! Tip - if you have white gouache and mix in some watercolour, you can create pastel gouache shades, it isn't perfect gouache but if you have limited money or space it can be useful, I've used it for a few pieces in my sketchbook when I want a splash of a more opaque colour but only have limited supplies!

[@Numb_starboy.org11]

I've mostly just been doodling in my sketchbook for a month and I wasn't very happy with that. So I recently started using prismacolor pencils again and have been enjoying that a lot. I also like alcohol markers, watercolor, and a brown copic linners.

[@linlearnsart4935]

gouache is great for any paper but ofc you should opt for thicker consistencies. but in general, it's great if you want to paint in sketchbooks. i love gouache

[@Samsocks1996]

For me currently I think using Prismacolor’s color pencil, Blick’s 4B pencil, watercolor, marker, and I’m really starting to enjoy using color pens (random). I normally only sketch with a 4B pencil, but idk sketching with interesting colored pens is starting to become fun.

[@sunnathorkelsdottir3456]

The tombow fudenosuke brush pens are so good!

[@Rumaisha1312]

expensive ( for me lol) 😭 but i really want it

[@sunnathorkelsdottir3456]

@@Rumaisha1312 yes:(:(

[@mynroguest]

Daiso sells those *not exactly tombow but close enough*

[@JoyceW-Art]

Man this video inspires me to use my sketchbook more! I normally, mainly, create digital art, but it's nice to grab those traditional tools once in a while. As far as I remember I mainly used colored pencil for a base sketch and then use a mechanical graphite pencil on top to flesh it out. Then I would often decorate those sketch with different supplies. Sometimes I'd use watercolors or watercolor pencils, other times markers and once I even used gouache (that was really fun, should use it again). Maybe I should try to mix and combine them all like you do, that looks really good and fun to do

[@glimbri]

water based markers are so fun for sketching! also, the colours on this spread are sooo gooood!

[@etheraea]

ahhhh I love your purple hair!!! Also the up close sketching was so fun to see. I love all the individual color strokes, your art is very whimsical and fun but it can also be calming too. Hmm as for my go to sketching supplies, I love mechanical pencils!! I usually end up using pilot color enos, but I want to also get back to using more pens and liners, just because it adds a fun pop to things. There's so many fun things to try out honestly, you might as well go a little crazy lol

[@JelArts]

Thank you! I think close up sketching shots are so fascinating to see sometimes, there's just something so mesmerizing about them haha

[@cheluu_66]

Love the snakes!! You are so talented and your videos inspired me!!!

[@zouexzouex297]

I don't have special taste in art supplies, but my favorites would be 1. Gouache 2. B6-8 pencils 3. Mechanical pencil 4. Watercolour 5. Graphite block for quick shading

[@thatdraconicneko]

your one of my biggest inspirations for really learning that I can do what I want in my sketchbook

[@Maddie.d326]

I’d say my top five are markers, liners, straight up paper (can I say that? I know you use paper to sketch but I love looking at all types of paper), acrylic paints, and colored pencils. They’re not really in any order those are just five that I like. :)

[@languageandhobbies]

Thanks for the recommendations. I haven't tried them yet myself, but if you want a hard, sharp-point Prismacolor for outlining, they have the Prismacolor Verithin in a few dozen of the same colors as the soft-core Prismacolors. For some reason while the 24-pack contains all of the 12-pack, the 36 pack is missing indigo blue and process red (pale magenta). And process red isn't available as open stock where I've looked. So now they're making me have to choose which ones I think I'd actually use instead of just grabbing a fairly inexpensive complete set.

[@alisalopes3524]

Your artwork inspires me so much! You are one of my favorite artists and I look up to you as just a starter.

[@JelArts]

Thank you! I really appreciate it :))

[@mariannlarrivee2156]

I've been using gouache in my SketchBook more often and I really like it's just taking the gouache and the paint brush and not caring what happens, but I don't doodle on top of them and I think it would be cool to do that so... Thanks for the idea!

[@Will-o-Wisp]

Personally I use the pentel orenz mechanical pencil,and a zig cocoiro pen for a lot of my sketches but I’m trying to break into more mixed media stuff

[@harleyquinn7708]

I missed you!! It already looks like your enjoying art more in this new sketchbook 💜

[@liocreates]

Right now I'm really into using my Zig Kuretake Cocoiro pen, Zig Kuretake Bimoji pen, copic markers, gouache, and a Sennelier ink brush for super loose thumbnail sketches :) Oh, almost forgot I love to use Zebra Mildliners too :D

[@Niseryusei]

i use the white gouache x watercolor method, it's excellent for adding more depth to your work but the downside to it is hard to get dark colors, but now i want to try actual gouache and experiment with new media

[@JelArts]

Oooh true, I think I mainly use it for the lighter tones, and just mix up really dark watercolour for the dark tones!

[@ChrisChaos666]

I always thought art in general was stupid but after watching your channel for a year I'm proud to say I'm a semi good sketch artist like my friends wanna know how I got so good to sketching and I tell them to check out your channel along with other channels and just learn but thank you for inspiring me to explore my creative side :)

[@SquibbleDesign]

I just got some new gouache paints and I have been having a lot of fun with all the colours this week! :D Otherwise, my favourite supplies are watercolours, oil paints, and pencils. :D

[@evelynfreire4756]

Eu amo seu estilo de verdade ❤️❤️❤️ vejo seus vídeos sempre que posso são maravilhosos

[@notsomeonei]

thank you for your beautiful smile honey, keep going 💛

[@Ghostrob2023]

Thank you for posting this video since now I get to see what you look like instead of listening to your voice in the video. You are really pretty and can't wait to see your next video. Hopefully it is a drawing one or something.

[@nataliaquiles800]

Profile photo is pretty

[@BomBomProduktion]

love this video xD I myself love drawing with comic sketch markers, I really want to try colour pencils more, so I hope to buy some soon xD I do mostly digital art, but I hope to do more traditionally xD

[@katiealleena2049]

fountain pens are my favorite for sketching! That and a good .5 mechanical pencil. I prefer H or 2H lead if it is available. Poscas are also very fun to use and the main medium right now for most of my projects. Watercolor & gouache are great, as well ^^

[@mariannlarrivee2156]

I love throwing plenty of mediums at a Sketchbook it's so much fun! and also do any of you know a good mix Square mixed-media SketchBook I'm a bit lost😳

[@Bleulacuna]

This was very inspiring! I tend to use a bursh tip ink pen at lot in my sketchs.. Along with some color microns pens and sometimes colored pencils.. But I've been wanting to expand or add to some other mediums like gouache and maybe watercolor. This might be the push I needed. :)

[@xxbobaaxolotl2182]

I can’t wait for your next video

[@calypso5316]

You changed your KZbin profile image😮

[@ikerluz2220]

I think I have a problem with art supplies, I have a lot. So many art supplies that I'm missing space to work while having them handy and I feel like I can't use all of them and I'm either using just one and not the rest or struggling to decide which to use each time. I wish I had bought just one good watercolor pallette and one brand of nice paper and like, one fineliner that I like and that's it.

[@rimaramax]

GIVE ME SOMEEEEE 🤣🤣🤣

[@AudkdmdKv]

I wish I could say, same, but realized I don't have much art supplies 😂 Although I think you shouldn't pressure yourself, it's okay to stick on one art supply for now and just maybe, when an art block hits, then maybe you could use your othe art supplies as a motivation, or for sure you'll have a day and think " I want to do something different" those are some moments you can get them to use, sorry if I'm saying too much 😅 I'm just trying to help out

[@sethusk]

Super enjoyed the video, those snakes are wonderful

[@Ali-xx4eh]

I love your videos so much, they are so inspiring to watch 🌸

[@Snowmouse]

I don’t know when you changed it, but the new channel icon is so cute!

[@veryyelloo4130]

Have you tried woodless graphite pencils? Those are my favorite type of pencil

[@JelArts]

I have but I think I prefer the kind with the wood or even mechanical casing! But I totally see the appeal of the woodless ones.

[@Pazoo_underscore]

Wow I’m early! I’d just like to say I really love your videos and u really inspire me.

[@coughdropsh]

You’re so pretty 🤩 And your art is my favorite thing ever, sooo relaxing and inspiring omggggfhfbdb

Thank you!! It means a lot!

[@biggerweff]

Wow poggy video i would like to try these out some time, especially the gouache i didnt even know what that was before u introduced it through ur videos and art, probably would have thought it was some kind of french food, anyways thanks for blessing people with ur art and content jess, shoutouts to skillshare, water based markers are cool too

[@biggerweff]

[@dazaisart2406]

[@shaysc429]

I don’t know if you already answered this question, but toward the end of the video you say your drawings were printed in Canada. Can I known where exactly are they from? I also wanna do print and since I’m from Canada I might as well go with a company from here :0

[@helenkosmicki3283]

Did I catch a page of sugar gliders! I just sketched a page of those!

[@AudkdmdKv]

It is interesting to learn from other artist on how they sketch and what they use for sketching. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but, lately I've been sketching with ballpoint pens (in different colors, cause it's fun) ballpoint pen is great for me, because it has a very pencil feel like, if I put pressure then more inks comes out and less pressure then the lighter it is, the biggest difference of sketching with a ballpoint pen is that, it's permanent! And for me it kinda pushes me to just let a mistake happen and hope to fix that mistake next time I sketch, I also use technical pens (microns, also in different colors 😁)

[@malvernminiatures]

Derwent have a variety of pencil crayons

[@ikerluz2220]

Wait wait wait, do you use the Shinhan Professional (their actual student grade) or Shinhan PWC (their professional grade)?

[@JelArts]

I use PWC!

[@Mackerachi]

I can't do the patreon right now but I'd be interested in packs on your shop

[@JelArts]

No worries :) I hope to open my shop early-mid august!

[@fuzzydragons]

hubby didnt know what i was talking about when i said I work in pencil crayons lol i dont know if I have 5 things I use for sketching, basic pens work for me

[@nickorange4881]

Is this a watercolor paper or is this like mixed media paper ?

[@JelArts]

Its sort of like mix media!

[@artbycallie6816]

I use mechanical pencils and markers for the most part. Boring, I know lol. Great video!
