☕️ SKETCHBOOK SESSION #7 || ✂️📔🔥How to abandon your sketchbook (TUTORIAL) **EMOTIONAL**

[@_Nanalae]

You got me thinking, "Huh... maybe that's why I never finish my large sketchbooks." I finish my small ones no problem, but I struggle with my large ones. Instead, my large sketchbooks that were intended for more detailed pieces become just occasional doodles and practice, and my small sketchbooks that were intended for occasional doodles and practice became detailed pieces. Anyways, great video! Super relatable

[@thelastcoffeebean]

I’m so glad you can relate!! :D I LOVE small detailed drawings loll Edit: and thank you so much for watching! 🧡✨

[@kritistudies7501]

I literally ripped half of my moleskine sketchbook and then regretted tearing all those pages off from a bound sketchbook 😭😂✨I abandon my sketchbooks too and felt guilty. But I’m glad that I’m not alone.

[@sunnylemon2315]

I'm so glad you're feeling more enthusiastic and happy with your new sketchbook!! I definitely think you made the right choice with starting a new one, and I think this is a sign for me as well (I've also been in like a 6 month art block which sucks)

[@thelastcoffeebean]

AaaAH thank youu! Wishing u goodluck with your new sketchbook 🙌🏼🧡✨

[@E4Alabbasy]

Honestly whatever makes you happy and makes you want to draw you should just do it without explaining yourself. Buying a new sketchbook even though you haven't finished yours, getting new art supplies to spark your interests, even a change in your desk or art space will make a Huge difference. Also yesss make it a sticker 😍😍

[@Zephlett]

I love how excited you are! I think you're right that you need a small notebook for a go-to default practice. I definitely would encourage you, though, to keep the other one in mind. There may be times when you do want to do a larger piece, and #4 will still be there for you. #4.5 is clearly really important for you and I'm so glad you have it! But you might find that having #4.5 available to meet these needs will free up a part of you that sometimes also wants large format dreams. It sounds to me like you want to dream those large format dreams. You maybe just didn't realize they were not a replacement for the small format expressions that had already become fundamental to your being. You don't have to full-on abandon the large notebook. You just need to respect that it can't meet all your needs.

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Thank you so much for your comment! 🧡 I definitely agree with you, I sometimes LOVE working large scale, but for practice and fun stuff I like sticking to paper less than 8x10. I think if I ever want to draw something big, I’d use #4, OR I’d try out something different like Canvas or watercolour paper! 🙌🏼

[@Zephlett]

Absolutely. You bought the larger format sketchbook for a reason. I think it's great that you realized it isn't everything you need, but that doesn't mean it's nothing. Sometimes the storytelling norms of our culture push us to look for decisive answers that are the be-all-end-all. You watch these videos and think you have to reach a conclusive answer every time you art about a problem. But as you noticed recently, you can get good things out of an experience without that being a final solution. Maybe instead of saying this feels nice I'm going to do this same thing forever, we could try this feels nice and I'll add it to my repertoire occasionally.

[@Pinkstarpirate]

Best sketchbook advice I ever heard is that you do not need to start at the beginning of the sketchbook, and you do not have to go front to back in order. Just open and draw. Also, as someone who loves larger sketchbooks and struggles with smaller ones, I feel your pain. Having the wrong size kills the vibe.

[@caramelize4564]

oh man, i really agree with the 'if you have art block, maybe switch sketchbooks' thing!! a few months ago a sketchbook I had was just. so bad it prompted me into a three month long art block. only figured out it was because of the sketchbook and not anything else bc I tried using that sketchbook again (only finished half of it the first go) and the artblock hit even worse than before! :D sometimes you just need to experiment w/ ur supplies

[@thelastcoffeebean]

I 100% agree omg and it’s nice to know that we have a similar experience! 😮‍💨🙌🏼

[@wiredentrails]

what kind of varnish do you use to preserve your pages? i think i need to start doing that, my colored pencil always starts to smudge and fade

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Ohhh I use Krylon Low Odour Clear varnish. It isn’t too shiny which I like, but one con is that the sprayer is weird (it sometimes lets out big spurts of varnish that I have to wipe off)

[@vinnitsaburgas]

Did you hear how birds sing in Ukraine? Now they sing on my channel. 🦜

[@mackhiggins4731]

If you don't mind a glossy finish, you can seal your colored pencil sketches with Mod Podge. That's what I do. Because I'm cheap. 😅 And I personally don't mind a glossy finish in my sketchbooks.

[@user-me8fm5yf4n]

@@mackhiggins4731 mod podge always ends up making me pages stick together :( how do you circumvent that?

[@shouto5695]

​@@user-me8fm5yf4n maybe make sure it's completely dried before closing the pages

[@frejafilms]

your talking is how my brain works in a way. you’re so reletable and relaxing

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Omg that’s a relief to hear, I thought I was getting a bit too distracted in this video 👀✨🧡

[@megismolic7187]

hires a thing evry time i watch you i get motivation to draw and I CANT GET THAT FROM OTHER PEOPLE??

[@annadownya]

I'm so glad you found your joy again!! If anyone deserves it, it's you. Your artwork is always so dynamic and alive. Good decision moving on to another sketchbook. Don't give in to the sunken cost fallacy!! If something doesn't work for you cut ties or take a break!! You don't have to keep torturing yourself. Its never worth it.

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Thank you so much, it really didn’t feel worth it anymore! 😂🧡✨

[@noordeweirdt6619]

Love it! After finishing my second big one i was like aaaagh i want a smaller one and everybody who doesn’t have a sketchook is like hunh why the big ones always look so nice and i m like you dont understand haha

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Omg same, my sister prefers the big one but I’m trying to explain the PAIN associated with it!! 😩

[@whosbella3155]

Love your art and same I left my old book and got a new one 💀 it hit different tho

[@emrysdeville]

this video found me the day after i decided to go through all my abandoned sketchbooks (due to art block), take out what i like, and start a fresh sketchbook

[@EvlNabiki]

I haven't watched the whole thing yet but I paused it to say: I have this too, sometimes something just doesn't feel right, I'll like close a movie midway through or whatever because it isn't "the right time", but then what magically happens is like, there comes a "right time" and so my whole insanity is like, justified. Honestly I wouldn't call the sketchbook abandoned, I'd just say it's resting!!! Someday your fervour and need for it will come back, and there it'll be, just waiting 🥺❤️

[@thelastcoffeebean]

I feel you omg, I sometimes leave movies and shows unfinished because it isn’t right! Maybe it’s the same for my sketchbook and I’ll fill a couple more pages if the mood strikes 👀👍🏼

[@marymess454]

Keep the bigger book and work in it off and on through out the year. Maybe it won’t feel so daunting. I’ve got about 7 different sketchbooks going right now. They are for different things. One of them is my ‘Big Ass Book’ it has 300 pages. My goal is to eventually fill it. I have small ones I take everywhere with me. I also have ones I use to make more complete compositions and a couple of them are very specific subjects. Hey! most importantly is to step away from watching others’ social media! Because it makes you feel like you need to do what others are, you do your thing. Plus staying away from so much social media will help you stay original and not subconsciously stray from your own style. Keep up the awesome work, you’ve got great talent! Remember to create for yourself first, that’s what being an artist is all about!

[@S.K.Y.E.]

I honestly thought I was just losing my lobe for art’s day it’s all because of self pressure. With social media I wanted to be like the exams same artist and all my friends I felt draw better than me and it always made me feel sad and unmotivated. I watched this then realised that every artist is different

[@Samthe1stbob]

I love your incorporation of water colours and colored pencils they blend so smoothly it almost look like markers. I can see that your favourite colour is yellow

[@NosKryme]

I totally get abandoning sketchbooks due to their size. My comfort size is the Moleskine A6, due to the fact that I draw so much better on a smaller canvas, and I don't have the looming pressure of 'not using the most of my potential' since a smaller size is very forgiving. Just because you don't finish a sketchbook in one shot doesn't mean there is something wrong, or that you're being wasteful. That book will still be there for you to revisit in the future, and even if you never revisit it, always remember that you did use it. You stuck with it for a bit even when you weren't comfortable and ended up making some very pretty drawings regardless. A sketchbook isn't 'finished' when you finish the book, it's finished when YOU feel that your journey with the book is done, even if it means finishing ten pages.

[@rachelthompson7487]

It's great that you found motivation again. It just took getting a new sketch book. 👍

[@quins.puppets1515]

With this video, it really got me thinking about it. I have had similar experiences, and even My “sketchbook” was actually a 200 page journal I had in my room, and I was like “oh! I can use this :D” but I tried drawing along to see if I could salvage my art, and I felt a sudden joy just drawing along, I decided I could never to my sketchbook after 9 months of having it and like 75 pages done, when you upload you save my sketchbooks life it’s greatful

[@frogsoapbars5901]

I'm almost done with my sketchbook and this video makes me soooo excited to start a new one when I'm done! ^^

[@willemijnkamerling4011]

Glad you got back to a nice sketchbook. I have multiple sketchbooks for different purposes. Small, big, square, different kinds of paper. You could always go back to the big one once in a while. 😊

[@ppawdraws]

Love how you draw/composite/decorate your sketchbook! Your experience is so relatable. I have an A4 watercolor paper sketchbook. The paper absorbs watercolor in a weird way. I hated it, and stopped drawing for a few months because I just doesn't feel like drawing on that sketchbook. Later on I realized, I could have just bought a new sketchbook and move on! I have later bought a few and I am happy to draw again :D

[@axdkl2580]

Our queen has blessed us with another video 🫶

[@berrybabe2438]

IDK if you will see this; but I am an artist for work as well and I was struggling the first few years with art block. I realized something though and maybe you will notice tooo- When I have an art block it is hard not to be upset at myself for being unproductive. I then realized though, usually when I rest and come back to it, my art has improved a LOT. Then I thought about it- When a battery is 100%, and doubles in size, the 100% is actually 50%. That means that it needs X amount of time to charge up to 100% again. I think when we have art blocks, our skill is improving, and the "inability" to create is actually our selves now recalibrating and recharging a new amount, so that we can be incredible after the battery charge :)

[@kayartdotjpeg]

I've been keeping 2 at once. I have a small square I bought for like 6 bucks and a large one the size of the big one you have. I use the small one when I go out or want a "junk" sketchbook. The larger one I use for thumbnails and for life practice. I use photos of family, youtubers, celebrities etc. It's been a really good system for me!

[@junelondon1703]

No need to stress out because you didn´t finsh a scetchbook and got a new one. It´s your art and your channel. ^^ The whole "scetchbooks need to be finished and PERFECT" is rediciolous and unhealthy. Great art by the way. And your scetchbook tours are very entertaining and inspiring. :D

[@tita-mita9314]

That is a very emotional video 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jamieroberts269]

I know what you mean by the bigger paper intimidating your art work and and kills your enthusiasm to create. Save it for those days you feel inspired. I run 3 sketchbooks at a time at different sizes. I grab the one I’m inspired to use. It’s fun to paint in the bigger one and draw in the smaller one.

[@ppawdraws]

Yes! I started to do that too and feel very freeing. I have different ones with diff papers, some has decent papers, some really thin, because it helps me to not be too precious with them. Small one are for sketching when I'm out.

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Ohhh yes I forgot to mention in the video that I might use it for large artworks! Knowing myself though, I probably won’t use it super often 😂

[@SwiftBricks]

I watched the video last night but forgot to comment! I LOVE how you finallyyyy broke up with your old sketchbook! Hah! Loved the spreads you did, they’re all so vibrant and your style is amazing! Welcome to the tiny Moleskin sketchbook club 😎

[@thelastcoffeebean]

LOL thank you sm Swift!!! 😭🧡🧡 Especially for all the break up advise and uhhh… help 😈🔪🔥

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Oh and I’m proud to be a part of the tiny Moleskine club, it’s such a fun sketchbook! 🙌🏼

[@e-buns]

i do love a small sketch book that I can take anywhere I go, but sometimes I just need more space. I have handful on sketchbooks on the go currently; I like some more than others. I still want to use them up because I bought them, and it would be a waste of paper. For the sketchbook I care less about, is the one I probably use the most since I normally just plan my actual art in there and use it for practice alone. I care less about how the pages look and I don't bother erasing/covering up bad sketches. It's nice to have a "dump book".

[@Ash_Pestile]

I came across this video the same day I bought a new sketchbook because I was feeling the same way about my old sketchbook. Mine was too small and I couldn't draw poses or use my markers because the drawings didn't have much space to paint on. Same block, opposite size situations XD. Love the Annabeth Chase illustration!!

[@noonnoon1084]

I love you're art

[@thelastcoffeebean]

Thank you!! :D

[@cringysarah]

i’ve abandoned my last 3 sketchbooks. because i would get uninspired by the sketchbook itself not the art. so now i have my 5th sketch book and i’m feeling more inspired and can actually draw now because i have a new sketch book that i actually like

[@mismiserables]

I love smaller sketchbooks too. I had a very huge one (as big as a laptop completely opened) and I didn't use it for months. I would have to do really big drawings which I would end up never finishing. I eventually found good use for it and that was the practice life drawing. But whenever I want to draw stuff just for me I prefer smaller pages as it just feels finished easier (and I tend to leave a lot of empyt spaces in general).

[@dingdong7042]

Your drawings are so nice~ and the art style *chef kiss*

[@Titiparana]

I’m so happy your back and have become more regular

[@ghostarwarrior]

Oh thank fucking god finally someone who gets it! I had a big sketchbook for 3 months and holy shit it just pained me to draw cause everything felt the need to be perfect and now with a small one I’m about to finally finish it

[@faierest]

thank you for this.... i actually have been really wanting to ditch the cheap sketchbook i got for also the size reason

[@cozyninos]

10:48 gosh the gatito is so cute!! You gave me motivation to be more colorful and whimsical with my current art. It’s been reverting back into that minimalist style.

[@PerryPictures]

Honestly I love that you made this. 💕💕💕 It’s so hard to quit a sketchbook even when you know it’s wrong (paper, size etc). Why we put this kind of pressure on ourselves idek

[@itslay5246]

Omg I loved your sketches! 💅🏻✨ I also really loved the first sketch and the concept! That’s so freaking creative ahh! 😊😀 Tysm for giving me more inspiration!! Im currently in a terrible art block but you really inspired me to go draw rn! 😁

[@ghost_boy2724]

I went through something like this when I bought a sketchbook then quickly realized I hated how the spiral binding would get it my way when drawing so what I did was I took the pages out and I put them all in a folder I have where I put old art I find and also drawings I make during school. I eventually even taped in some of those pages in my new sketchbook since I did love them so much and I didn’t want them to be tucked away As for the spiral bound sketchbook now I use it as my dream journal :3

[@Liibiidii]

Lol I had to do this as well. I had a sketchbook but it had a really weird texture. So I ran to target and got an old reliable newbie sketchbook. So this came off as super relatable.

[@ariyanawade3308]

I kind of feel the same way whenever I get a new sketchbook and I would always abandoned the one I already using and I would kind of feel bad for it but I always have new ideas I want to draw something new and I would never go back to the old one

[@KagomeMorino]

I also find square sketchbooks to be more appealing. It’s really funny but the size is just really nice. Baylee Jae here on KZbin made her own sketchbooks and sells them. They are super cute! Square sketchbooks and really love them. Illio sketchbooks are really nice though too.

[@scgg2885]

And I’m so happy you are loving your art again!

[@ceeceehart5416]

Thank you for satisfying my current sketchbook tour obsession

[@kate_07]

Always love and look forward to your content 😭💖 I also came across the same lack of motivation to finish my moleskin sketchbook that was the same size as your #4. I ended up switching for my 3rd moleskin and it was the BEST for me personally. It was easier to fill in especially when I didn’t have much time to draw in it during finals, also it fit better into my backpack, and was less intimidating to start/finish. Downsizing definitely makes you unsure at first but in the long run it can be more enjoyable working with a small area rather than feeling bad for not filling in a large one!!! Goodluck with soon to be sketch book 5!!!

[@kiwimiwi5452]

I drew in a smaller sketchbook for the past.. month? and felt way more free in it. this video gave me the courage to officially make it my main sketchbook now!

[@zoehartist]

I can relate to this so much. I have the Moleskine A4 in red. I've had 9 pages left for about 6 months I think. Its causing me so much art block. I just hate the size of it! i already bought the new one which is a square Seawhites but i have guilt about not having finished the moleskine. My prior was the A5 moleskine and that was fine, there is just something about A4 books!

[@awkward_witch_of_the_east]

Nothing is forbidden in the land of art! I think I have 17 sketchbooks going right now, and a new one just arrived 😅 I’m always looking for the *perfect* sketchbook (which I may have just actually found!!) Fingers crossed that I love the Kilimanjaro Paintbook 🤞🏼

[@disclaimerhotmess4007]

I had this with my 4th sketchbook, I told myself that I would make detailed illustrations, and very good art, but then I would dread drawing or painting cause it would stress me out. But then I got a smaller sketchbook and told myself just to fun with it and that I would not show it to anyone and it's really helped, I don't have artblock anymore!. so yeah definitely recommend doing this.

[@LAHIBRIDA13]

cool sketch book. I have various ones I like the canson mixed media sketch books. I recently brought a fabriano sketchbook specifically for Island drawings. I just draw on different ones and when i'm not drawing I have coloring books and just color my art block away.

[@elenabusto6513]

I love all the artworks you made in this spread! *-* those blood splatters! Ahhhh! Also, this video truly gave something to ponder on. I am currently using an A4 sketchbook, haha. And the fun part is that I wanted it to be BIG, because the previous one was ordered from Amazon and I thought it was an A5, but turned out to be even smaller (it's my bad for not double-checking that) and I LOVE details, and I also have as a goal to draw less portraits and more full bodies. So I basically went from too small straight to too big. Such an extreme decision, I know, and I usually like to stay in the grey area, because I generally believe that extremism is never good, but once again I failed in my good intentions. Now I'm stuck with this big Boi, and some days I like it, some days I don't. I can start a sketch on a day, leave it there for a week, pick it up and start changing some stuff, let it sit for another couple of weeks and I'm really starting to be bored of it, so I move on, and then one day out of the blue I decide that I want to color it. Well, put like that sounds like I'm the unstable villain of this situation xD anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts and your decision process, it's going to provide some good advice in case I start wishing to stop using it xD (ATM I'm not sure because I'm in the "I like it" phase right now!) but your enthusiasm truly feels contagious!

[@creativehexe]

Thats so pretty and cool, great choice to use it as No4,5 , well done!

[@CJShopland_Art]

Love the yellow outline and it would make a cool sticker . The square wasn’t much smaller than the A4 so perhaps it’s more the shape and ratio; however my A4 I tend to work in at home to figure stuff out than a travel sketchbook, A5 is ideal for that 🥰

[@purplegirl974]

I am actually at the end of my sketchbook #4 and I’m 18 pages away from finishing but it’s taken me a week to even sketch anything because I’ve gotten so burnt out. I’ve been scrapbooking in it now just to get pages finished. I’m hoping I can sketch some stuff soon because I don’t want the rest of my sketchbook to be just scrapbooking 😓

How do I get to that point in my artistic skills to be able to draw a pose without reference? 😭 anyways it looks amazing I think switching sketchbooks was definitely a good idea 💗

[@snowyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

practice! there’s a good class on the drawfee extra channel about it, but say like. 15 minutes of drawing a bunch of different poses from reference (using a site like line of action) and then another 15 minutes of drawing a bunch of poses from imagination. i do that like once a week-ish?

I really needed to hear thins! :) And I love your sketches too! ^^ Iv recently got a sketchbook about the same size and I find it alot easier to draw and take with me, event though Im better at digital art than traditional lol. I want to bring back that joy I had of sketching back in highschool in a way also~

I'm laughing out loud.. So relatable, but in a very niche way :P

woah i had the exact same problem! First i bought the big moleskine sketchbook, i liked it, i used it, but then my mom bought me a illo sketchbook (i live in germany so it was really expensive, like 35€-40€ just for shipping o.O) , so i finished my illo sketchbook (the best sketchbook i had so far) and i wanted to finish my big moleskine sketchbook, i had like 30 pages left, but suddenly it was way too big for me and i had so much pressure to finish the big pages so i just bought the little moleskine one too (idk but in german amazon its just 13€)

I'm so happy to see you so enthusiastic and blissful with your new sketch journal. Loved your session. Why don't you have a paypal account so we can tip you?
