SoCraftastic hi

[@boopchii4405]

Sketchbook dont need to be perfect, they can be messy, especially if its a PERSONAL sketchbook, its a sketchbook, not a canvas, sketchbooks are for sketching, it doesn't need lineart, or much color, but yeah, thats 1 thing i think about all the time

[@leahabukhaled3095]

Midnight Gacha ahhh I try to be like that but I can’t I have OCD when it comes to my sketch book and I hate it! Every time I mess up I rip the page of idk how to stop this problem

@DoTheAnimeDance you sent a comment that said sorry

[@avocado9084]

Somehow I’m only inspired when I have to learn or do something else but when I take my time to draw I have no idea what to draw!

[@whostolethebeans4537]

Same here

[@haley596]

Kinda the same for me when I just sit and need something to do tho I draw and it comes out good

[@jessmaze5170]

hannie yep exactly, it’s so weird and frustrating because I love drawing and when I am sitting down with everything to go the last thing I worry about is what I have to draw!!!!

[@sshvlogs1584]

Dear fellow humans, This is a very weird habit but is it just me that instead of listening to music or others I listen to Sarah or other you tubers videos while I doodle?🤔🤔

[@speshalkaay]

Your voice is so calming

[@SoCraftastic]

This makes me so happy to hear. A lot of people think I sound bored or sad. I'm just chill when I speak & can't always help it. Thank you for watching!

[@izzowizzo_]

SoCraftastic :) i think its calming and relaxing too. I sometimes do "diamond painting" while i watch you

[@hottiemcthottie6653]

I agree

[@imogenwallace5176]

That is kinda creepy but, true it is quite calming

[@speshalkaay]

please explain to me how complementing someone on somthing is creepy.... you watch the video so you can clearly hear her voice. keep your negativity to yourself

[@fangirl1234fangirl]

You made me appreciate the beauty in zentangles, never thought of them looking that cool before :)

[@helenjudy3512]

Honestly it makes me so upset for you that you have almost 2 mil subscribers but only 8000 views? I remember a few years ago when your videos were really popular and i just think people don’t really appreciate what you do anymore 😞. Please keep making videos as i love to see your arts and crafts 💗💗

[@SoCraftastic]

It's a combination of a lot of things. Sure, a lot of people have found new interests or are too busy to watch as often. But, there have also been major changes to the KZbin algorithm & the way the site notifies people of new uploads - they don't always tell subs when a channel uploads. Plus, I have heard that KZbin no longer favors variety... they want to push channels that do very similar topics every upload, or a small handful of different, yet related things. I'm going to keep working my way back up to where I was though! I hope KZbin begins to recommend my videos more often again. I know I'm in a better place personally now than I was even a few months ago, so I hope that my happiness translates to my uploads. I'm so much more motivated to create artsy content nowadays. Thank you so much for watching & for all your support. 💕😊

I’ve hit a road block in my sketch book and I’ve just started it. After spending a good while watching baylee jay’s art videos and your videos I’ve gained inspiration once again. Thank you. Let’s hope I’m not too critical of my own art.

Use scrapbook paper to cover those pages that leak or bleed through when you use watercolor or sharpie then you can doodle on that or add stickers etc.

[@laylafitzallen9043]

So this is how you be talented guess I’m never gonna feel it 😅💙

What watercolours do you use? I've been using a cheap $3 kids watercolour but your colours are so lovely and intense.

In eight grade my studio in art teacher gave each of the student in my class a sketch book. I was so excited because that was the first one I ever owned. But, I never did much in it because I felt like it was too pretty to "ruin". I ran into your videos today, and as I watched this I was inspired to unearth my sketch book (which had been in my closet for 2 years now) and let creativity flow. Thank you for your content❤!

[@Gantorin]

From Zentangles to Zen... DANGLES... ah? ah?... no?... Good on you for starting a sketchbook. I have an issue finishing one, but high hope on your sketching regiment practice. Good luck!

[@SoCraftastic]

This comment is quality content. Zendangles should be a branch of Zentangle from now on! Thank you for watching. I'm hoping my enthusiasm remains for drawing. I used to draw / doodle every single day when I was younger, but they were usually on individual pieces of paper, in a spiral notebook, or a school planner.

[@Gantorin]

SoCraftastic My passion for drawing was the same way. I ha a folder with printer paper in it, and drew whenever I could. I really hope you take it far as you can. Who knows years from now you be doing sketch book tour #300. lol ah the possibilities of the future.

[@mkayla7299]

Tips for ink bleeding through paper: Lift up the page you are going to start drawing on tuck all the other pages away and put your page you are going to start drawing on by it self (you can also put some scrap paper or something like that under your piece of paper your drawing on so it does not bleed on to the table or what ever your surface is.)
