Creating a Visual Diary By Drawing Daily | Sketchbook Tour

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Drawing makes me happy, and I assume it makes you happy too as you're watching this. I want to encourage you to draw every day, even if it's just for five minutes. Why wouldn't we do what makes us happy, right?
When you draw daily, you'll fill sketchbook after sketchbook with your art.

In this video, I’m sharing another sketchbook tour with you. I myself love flipping through other people’s sketchbooks. Whether they’re beginners or advanced, I find it super inspiring. I hope my sketchbook tours spark inspiration for you as well. It’s all about doing art every day, wherever you are.

Sketchbook shown:
Fabriano sketchbook, 200 grams, 15x23 cm, 6"x9". Although I initially thought it was watercolor paper, it’s still great for various wet media.

Throughout this sketchbook, I’ve captured everything from garden views, live sessions with patrons, drawing on location, and simple subjects right in front of me.
I’ve drawn on the go in Paris, while teaching a workshop with Sabine Wisman. There are also pages you'll recognise from previous Draw Tip Tuesday videos.

Each page tells a story, creating a visual diary of my adventures and everyday moments.

Remember, you don’t need a tumultuous life to draw. Just draw whatever is in front of you, even when it seems mundane, and you’ll be telling your own interesting story throughout your pages.

Your assignment for this week:
Grab your sketchbook, pick up your favorite pen, draw what’s in front of you, do it every day. Embrace the wonkiness, and most importantly, have fun! See you next week!

I just love your line drawings. I was taught the same method in High School 47 years ago. I am happy to see that the method is still around.

Indeed very inspiring!! Funny idea with the croissant. Nice playful sketchbook, it shows you're having fun with it😍😍😍😍

Thankyou for sharing again.
2 things struck me watching the video.
1:your amazing talent that shows up on every page, and also your humour...the disappearing croissant 😊
The second thing, is about not showing off. As you say, you get so much joy out of sketching and you want to share that joy...AND YOU DO!
my sketches and doodles make me happy but I'm quite selective to whom I show them, because I'm really not showing off, it's more like showing someone photos...but ones that reveal so much about the artist.
Thanks again
Love you videos
Love your artwork xx
