Ok Toby, here we goooo! I'm 62, recently retired in USA. Found your channel by chance. I have ordered a Lamy F. Pen and a bottle of Platnium ink. Gonna give this thing a whirl! Thank you for inspiring me! Cheers!

[@TobySketchLoose]

My pleasure, have fun!!

[@delphinewood7519]

I find your tutorials very encouraging. Thanks for sharing these ideas. 😊

[@TobySketchLoose]

You are so welcome!

[@dollymiller3820]

Thank you Toby. I started doing art 9 years ago having hated it at school in the 1960s! Which put me off ever trying. I never thought I could draw let alone apply paint but love it now just lack imagination. I find your tutorials inspirational and freeing up. And I’ve just remembered I have a dip pen somewhere I must now go and find and buy some magazines to cut up! Thank you so much. Pity you don’t do live workshops ???

[@DotyML]

Have a play day! Best advice ever. A good way to release the pressure we put ourselves under to create a master piece or nothing at all.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Great idea

[@puppydood]

Thanks for sharing. Great to have a fresh perspective. 😁 (pun intended). I love the idea of mixing things up. Creating art just for yourself is key. ❤️

[@TobySketchLoose]

So true!

[@jeanneaguirre6980]

Thank you for all the suggestions-- they really help in the struggle to 'see' things differently.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad it was helpful!

[@christi81942]

Love your tips! I was barely half way through the video when I knew I'd be returning to watch this over and over again. Especially love the collage idea -- may have to try it today!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mixschrecks3839]

Refreshingly honest and thoughtful. Love the way it all boils down to having fun.

[@TobySketchLoose]

I appreciate that!

[@consueloyoung4484]

“Making decisions”! We all do it but I, for one, rarely think about my thinking/decisions! Another great video, keep them coming!

[@TobySketchLoose]

So true!

[@onestrauss3066]

Oohhh. Thanks for this! Really great to be reminded of some things that I have done in the past, as well as introduced to some other ideas! I’m very keen on exploring the use of collage and abstract, especially after seeing your explanation and use of these techniques. You’ve made them look fun and have approached them in different ways to what I normally see. So again, thanks heaps!

[@TobySketchLoose]

You're so welcome!

[@collywolly4409]

Great advice as usual, thank you. I need to do it more for myself and not think about what others may think.

[@TobySketchLoose]

You are so welcome!

[@barblallier9413]

It's taken me almost a yr, but finally doing my art for me, it's so liberating! But as a true people pleaser, very challenging! Thanks Toby, great ideas😊

[@gayleselby1665]

“Amen” to that!

[@lc4365]

[@dianashipp3589]

Inspiring! Keep ‘em coming… we all love you 🥰

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thank you!

[@matthewpearsall9249]

I've only been painting a few weeks and on a whim I bought a glass dip pen and I was surprised how natural it felt to use it I actually like it better than a pencil

[@OlegKlenov]

This is the best advice in all youtube! I'm inspired! Thanks a lot!

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad you think so!

[@stownsin]

Hi Toby, while you were talking about blind sketching, I paused and did a 15 second blind sketch of you! Looks just like you (haha)! So many good ideas that I can try. Thanks a lot.

[@TobySketchLoose]

That is awesome!

[@FrancesFraser-wl1je]

Inspirational, as always. It's always good to be reminded of these things as to forget as you get carried away with the subgect matter, also, I love using collage and incorporate it into a lot of my paintings/drawings.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Thanks Frances

[@rdrobertssr]

Thanks again for sharing I have been enjoying all.of this. Collage? Stop it! Stop inspiring me! So many more things to try. I hate loving your ideas you share. Lol. See you soon.

[@TobySketchLoose]

Hehe have fun!

[@patsymccown2766]

Really love this! So helpful, as usual…

[@TobySketchLoose]

Glad you think so!

[@debcannon1439]

Love the coffee mug, is it available for sale? Also--Sprite works quite well with watercolors, as I found out on a recent flight (oops). Note to self...never put the water pot next to your drink.

[@TobySketchLoose]

I'm afraid it's not... I did think about it for a while but posting out mugs I decided wasn't in my skillset! I might work out a way to do it soon ☺️

[@Erginartesia]

Looks like you are switching from Lamy pen to TWSBI pen? I just ordered a TWSBI 580 that I will dedicate to drawing with permanent ink. PS: i love the using toothpicks. I love TWSBI for writing but have been VERY nervous about putting permanent ink into them… picking one pen just for this will make it easier, I think.

[@TobySketchLoose]

I think I'm gradually finding the weight of the pen and the smoothness of the ink flow mornefun

[@AaBb-sn3ji]

How does the ink not run? Mine runs all over

[@TobySketchLoose]

It's waterproof ink 🔏
