Ways to break in your sketchbook

Starting those first couple of pages can be super daunting when you have a brand spankin new journal. So I thought i'd put out some ideas on no stress easy going activities for the first couple of pages. These are meant to be sort of icebreakers to get the ball rolling. If you guys have anything that you like to do plz let me know in tha commentz
sketchbook is the milini brand and a5 size

I just started a new sketchbook a couple days ago and my first page I just wrote “I’m writing this to stop the first page being too precious” and now I’ve done 10 pages

[@artsideoflife]

Great way to start and keep going! 😊

[@studyinglola5193]

Niamh C I did a collage of my 🐕

[@kevinevans4923]

Niamh C that's my problem. I have a clean sketch book. I've had it two years!!. too precious!. I'm glad you've started yours . keep it up. take care.

[@m.b3839]

When I finish my current sketchbook I'm totally gonna do that!

I APPRECIATE YOUR NAME

[@louds0ft593]

the goal 'draw more men' is so relatable, I just can't and don't want to draw them and every time I do they still look so weird and feminine I don't even bother trying anymore lol

[@prcprc395]

i draw them all of the time its so much easier than girls

[@don-ks6nx]

Gals are easier to draw

[@LTM.0718]

It’s the opposite for me 😅 I CAN NOT draw females , I’ve been drawing only males for like the past 3 years (??) funny thing is , I used to draw females only like around 2016 and I couldn’t draw males AT ALL 😂

[@ameliapotter627]

This was so calming, I had a panic attack today and was really shaken up about it but this really calmed be down thank you 💕

[@evea7444]

Same!

[@tashagoodwin125]

Oh my gosh, relatable! What triggered (if anything) your attack? Mine is I'm being bullied/harassed in school and I can't cope, DM me on instagram if you want @life.of.tasha xxx

[@studyinglola5193]

Amelia Potter what shaked you up? if it's personal u don't have to say

[@elineboer9049]

Same here. I feel so calm now.

[@ajbtllr1530]

Amelia Potter Awww, i hope the anxiety goes away very soon.

[@sunpurr]

the amount of empty sketchbooks/journals i have cuz im too afraid to start em is... way too many. usually i will start off mine w/ like a "meet the artist" type drawing tho!! also your handwriting is the cutest!! also also your plants have the Best names.

[@zozaleenie]

gay cat oo yes I love looking at other peoples "meet the artist" !! And thanks, they actually didn't have names before this video whoops

this video really encouraged me to be free with my sketchbook. i tend to think about making it perfect and organised although, watching this video has made me realised that using a sketchbook is about expressing your inner self. thank you for this video.

[@gina4794]

lee bee i have that problem with every notebook i own lol. I am always wantin to be organized that i spend hours deciding what to put on the first few pages xd

i really love the calm, no pressure vibe of the video combined with the still very pleasant aesthetic and handwriting!

[@billiescorner500]

I dumped all my sketchbooks because my art teacher graded me a D and eveyone doesn't like what I do, I'm not bragging but my art was decent and I couldn't understand why so I felt lost. This encouraged me, thank you!

[@zozaleenie]

I'm so happy to hear that!! I found doing art at school really difficult, sometimes teachers loved what I did, other times they were very underwhelmed with what I came up with . Even at university I did an art elective and I got the lowest mark I've ever gotten (almost failed lol) so, you're not alone. If you love it keep doing it! Maybe you could even ask your teacher for more feedback on your work. Good luck!!

[@mihikakulkarni8088]

okay i gotta say as an australian, your depiction of santa is very accurate

[@faye6637]

i freaking love this comment

[@religion_of_rage]

I actually just watched this pretty much only for the music. I cant really learn anything from here regarding the journal. Because in all honesty i feel like the thing im seeing here is the creativity of one artist. Everyone has their own creative way of thinking and process of working on something. Why would i do the same thing someone else is doing. Is it really my creativity, or my personal way of finishing a challenge? Everyone has to develop their very own creative mind. But good song. I like it

[@zozaleenie]

yes,interesting. I do agree with developing your own creative-ness. The reason I'm not really interesting in making "tutorial-style" videos. Thank you though!

I am very sure that you will never read this since this video is a year old now, but the first ever journal/sketchbook video that I came across was this one. honestly, as soon as I saw the simplicity of your videos and how you do your sketchbook made me so motivated to have a journal again, after spending over a year not journaling anymore hahaha. i love this video so much! it's my favorite one on this whole channel. hope you do another one like this soon.

This video is so overloaded with talent in every aspect I legit don't know what I love the most. It's overwhelming, in a cool way.
