Benefits of Sketching/Drawing with Pen! (2021)

Today I ramble about why I like sketching and drawing with pens and why I think everyone should try it at least once. and probably a lot more then that. ;)

Sketching with pen has always been so therapeutic to me because it makes me not focus on my mistakes as much and just finish the sketch!

When I was young I always used to draw with pen and never used crayons or pencils like other children did, it actually led me to being expirienced well to pen. *I love my younger self*

Fun tip: if you’re especially anxious/indecisive like me, starting out with erasable pens and then going to actual pens can help a ton, while still helping you learn to draw lighter:)

Edit:hey guys! The idea is to have the eraser there as a sort of emotional buffer. It’s not meant to replace actually using pens, but rather, help ease yourself into using pens by creating an emotional buffer of “if I *do* mess up, I still have the possibility to fix it”. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and this helped me still feel like I had the crutch of an eraser while still using a pen! I use non-erasable pens now, but I know the erasable ones were a good way to ease into it!:D Plus, it teaches you to draw lightly, because a lot of erasable pens won’t erase well unless you draw light! :D

A TIP FOR BALLPOINT: keep a paper towel or tissue and after a few minutes of sketching, wipe the tip on the tissue. This works for gel pens too since the ink builds up on one side of the pen as you go.

I'm early for an upload for once! It's so nice watching your videos while I have to work on animations, it feels like company :D

I know waffles has an upload schedule but it always seems like she uploads when I'm not doing so well. Always cheers me up. Distracts me from aching joints and living in 2021 😁

“it says quick drying ink, but apparently i am quicker”

the problem of moving faster than the speed of light is that you live your life in the darkness

I have a request: Pleasee do a sketchbook spread but try using colored pencils for line art (black/brown/sepia) because fine liners make sketches a lil stiff.

[randomizeddesigns]

I think it’s funny how I was a traditional artist and then I started watching Waffles and she got me into digital art. Now all I do is digital art and she’s gone back to only doing traditional art. 😆

I've been drawing with pen for a while now after seeing your very old "Sketching Pocahontas" video! My classmates will always be like "How do you erase your mistakes now?" But sketching with pens really helped me to finally feel good about my art and not focus on the mistakes I make. And I kinda feel like I've improved with my anatomy and lines too! 💜

I’m gonna watch while I film a vid for the first time in ages. Rin’s the only one who can make me that inspired 🤣

I recently started sketching with coloured pens and OH MY GOD I'm absolutely excited that your video was based on drawing with pens!!~

[Sasha-wwnh]

I recently started sketching with pens and i've been struggling a bit so this is perfect!

[samjones]

The message about letting go and not getting too bogged down in perfectionism is so important. Thanks for the awesome content

[sunitapanicker]

Fun Fact: Rin's voice and Drawing ALWAYS makes our day better! 🥺🥺💜

[samanatour]

Kasey should make a video like this trying to convince us that it's the year of crayons

[KetchupCanvas]

As someone whose main medium is ballpoint pen and regular notebook paper (hey im a broke artist so sue me lol), it makes me so happy to see a video like this. Of course my stuff is more abstract haha I can't draw people very well (though not for lack of trying!) its still great to see someone else with a penchant for BIC and Paper Mate pens 😄 I love this channel

[AudkdmdKv]

Sketching with pens are fun, I used ballpoint pens for more opacity effect that is kinda similar when sketching with pencils, I also use technical pens but in different colors, cause it's fun 😬

I hope you have an amazing day! ❤️
