I've never done a time limit for sketchbooks, but i have done "you gotta draw something, no matter how small, every day." And it was fantastic, though over time i did get much less creative with my pieces

[@WeblightDreams]

Very beautiful spread and like they say we are our worst critics. I think it came out amazing!!

[@Lilstarnerd]

thank you!!

[@kiwimiwi5452]

almost finished the video.. I think I should start setting myself a time limit for my sketchbooks, too, it sounds like it helps a bunch!

[@MariJadeWrites]

I also think it could be helpful for me, as i take way too long lately to finish my sketchbooks. I haven't finished a sketchbook in a while. 😅 Want to sketch in it later today.

[@Lilstarnerd]

you should definitely try it!! and if it doesn't work for you you can quit whenever you want, but i think it's a great thing to try!!

[@rachel4327]

I also hate redrawing things!!! I totally relate to your struggle ❤

[@lynx_the_artist5351]

I love your art it inspires me sm. I always draw along. Today i designed a new oc during this video 🥰

[@MariJadeWrites]

Oh great, could you show your new oc? Would love to see the character 😉

[@Tabby__Toby]

I love this painting! The playfulness and colour are very well done. Looking forward to see your sketchbook tour next week.

[@catssupp400]

I love this, it’s really cute, and I feel like I should set a time limit to my sketchbooks or do them in a month like you. I’m so bad at finishing sketchbooks.

[@caseolum]

I love this art, the gouache textures look so nice :)

[@milliecarpenter7971]

I really loved seeing this process!! I also struggle with backgrounds and this pushes me to give it a try!

[@TheJemmaGrl]

That jewelry is CUTE. I love 'simple' jewelry. I'm going to have to check them out!! Also - I really love your content.

[@Lilstarnerd]

me too!!! i love simple and dainty but still kinda funky!!!

[@fuzzydragons]

i think its a very cute spread 😀 and yay! for a coming sketchbook tour

[@xoonaniart]

Super cute piece of art! Looking forward your sketchbook tour! 💚 Xoonani

[@kiwimiwi5452]

first comment, yay!! let's continue last weeks comment spree, I just clicked the video, so I'm curious to see what amazing artwork you have created again!

[@jaanamirjam]

Woooow, i really love the outcome of the whole process, such a pretty spread!❤ It’s so fun to listen to your commentary and the different things u see in your process (for example the fact that you hate drawing something twice, cause for me it’s different, i really have to get the end piece right, so doing sketches of the same thing, helps to figure out the final illustration much better and i much more prefer it, but i get that feeling, of dreading the thought, of needing to draw something twice or more) Anyways love everything u draw, especially when it’s something magical like fairies🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏼‍♀️

[@ChantelleArts]

This spread looks beautiful 😍 I love the softness of gouache, it looks so flowy

[@SurrealSprite]

Hey lilstarnerd! I just recently found about about this couple, Julie and Camilla, and I feel like you should do a portrait of them. They are so cute, and you should see their vids first!

[@MariJadeWrites]

Such a beautiful piece 😍❤️ thank you for sharing, i will try to work in my sketchbook today myself as i abandoned mine for a good while now. I started one sketchbook for a specific coloring book project but it was valentine themed and i never got it done in time for this valentine so it got abandoned, but i will try to get back to the project later for the upcoming valentine day later on. I have another sketchbook not based on any specific project, where i sketch out randomly and i want to work in it. Wanted to do a ghibli related work but never got around to it. 😅 Maybe this evening or tomorrow i could do it.

[@KarolinaBernolak]

i have so much sketchbooks started lol its so hard to finish them lol

[@SugaKookieMon]

You're very cute.

[@muffinn7750]

Ur really pretty

[@BAGG8BAGG]

A couple of quick tips from someone who is the exact same when it comes to redrawing and having the wind taken out of my sails in prep. 1: scan the drawing then print it out, use multiple sheets if it's big. get a thin sheet of fabric and cover in graphite scrapings from pencils/charcoal and use fixative to secure the graphite. Now trace out the printed drawing onto your sheet and the paper you want to translate it to, works like a charm and saves me redrawing it all over again. (stolen from syd mead) 2. I make a quick mood board of artists work or photos that I want to capture the colours, feelings or style of so I can refer to something when I feel stuck or defeated so i can get my wind back and the boat moving. hope this helps.

[@Teti_K]

Your last spread is wonderful! And I liked your thoughts about art fears. Now I try to teach myself to love process and not to be afraid of spoiling the paper 😅

[@jankapottyos]

It’s looks so good! I love the green themed pieces.

[@BethanValerious]

i love this one so much!

[@jenyaspahieva]

Ahhh fairies ✨✨ I really like the lighting, it's so pretty. And the fairies are super cute. Absolutely in love with the hair on the left one! Also I'm with you on redrawing stuff. Once I've drawn it it's out of my system and im not interested in that exact image anymore. I have multiple rough sketches that were supposed to be prep for bigger finished pieces but those never happened cause I didn't feel like drawing that subject anymore. But anyway, love your work, and can't wait for the sketchbook tour! Those are always exciting 💖

[@Lilstarnerd]

i'm glad i'm not the only one with the redrawing problem haha!!!

[@tinybird2413]

I've been trying to get back in to art after a long break and I've been running in to some of the problems you talk about. Watching your videos is reassuring that I am heading in the right direction. I'm currently trying to finish up a sketchbook too so this video had even more meaning for me. Your piece came out really good!

[@Lilstarnerd]

i'm so glad this could help!! good luck with your sketchbook!!
