Do you have any tips to share about sketchbooking?

"everything has been done before, you just have to do your own version of it", it made me feel lighter in my chest ty<3

I love how casual this video was. It was like having a nice little sketchbook session with an artist friend.

I definitely agree with using mixed media in a sketchbook, this is definitely something that I need to do more of ❤

This is my little sketchbook tip/ a thing I do; lately I've been taking a a sheet of paper bigger then my sketchbook page and sketch, draw and doodle on that sheet and then glue that on my sketchbook. I've been doing this because I'm near the end of my sketchbook and I'm trying to extend it's life. I noticed that sometimes it let's me draw more loosely. It also adds a bit more life to the thing.

i love mixed media and the tip with not ripping out your pages really hit close to home.. its so tempting to just make it seem like it never happened..

I love the role-polys, they’re so cute :)

[mothmaniel]

This is some of the best sketchbook advice I’ve heard, thank you for sharing. So, e really useful tips and thoughts to take away from this.

Tysm!! I'm going on a trip & I've been asked to illustrate a children's book. Your encouragement to "mix it up in the same sketchbook" is a great idea. Thx tonzz!!

I've never thought about adding to sketchbook pages over time like that (your first hint about filling blanks on previous pages etc), but i love the idea, especially because my mind doesn't really work on "working on a piece in multiple sessions" (i think this is a problem more people are having). I'd love to train myself to work on pieces of art more than just in one sitting lol. Train the upkeep of elongated focus (not my first language, i can't find the fitting words for this right now lol)
