    I make my own sketchbook. This way I can choose the paper I want myself.

    Thanks for excellent summary of sketchbook kit. I totally agree about limiting the amount you take out and about, keep it easy to grab and carry and you will bring it more often. Only slight difference is I like to have a small cheap sketchbook alongside the better one - the cheap one is ballpoint only and gets me drawing on days when I don't feel like it because it doesn't matter if it's only for 5 minutes and a bit rubbish.

    I’ve done the Bootcamp - lots if fun! I love Seawhite of Brighton sketchbooks here in the UK - great mixed media paper and I can get hardback in all different sizes but also the the soft cover super lightweight but still great quality paper. Inexpensive too.

    When I started it was with a sketchbook and a #2 pencil. Doesn't get simpler than that. My current "go kit" has several pencils, some Microntas, a kneaded eraser, and a makeup brush for graphite blending. I do my painting at home.

    Hi!
    I just finished my first sketchbook in January and immediately started the next one wich was waiting for me a couple of months. I started painting and drawing for my personal joy after many years not doing this. One thing I didn't like about making art was that there are all those finished sheets of art on paper and no good place to have them. Not on the walls, not in a folder. Then I saw sketchbook videos on yt, yes yours too - and I knew there may be a great place for every piece I create. I baught a cheap one with thin writing paper. I started with my watercolour pencils wich I have for 25 years, I got them for christmas when I was young and did draw. I worked with yt tutorials to improve and get ideas. I worked free to see if I get my mind on paper. I gifted myself with 8 halfpans of watercolour, including goldpaint and some horsehair brushes. I started to paint on watercolour paper and glue the paintings in my book. The new book consists of a mixedmedia paper, it drinks gluid colours too quick. So again I use the gluestick. I also baught a bunch of good felttip pens, reactivated my old fountain pen from school... Yes, the artkit forms itselves, according to the owner's needs. Thanks to your videos I soon took my kit outside. I take it wherever I expect some waiting time and it's a great thing to paint while waiting for the doc or for the child to have their appointment over. Or at scoutcamp ehen there is freetime at noon. Or at the public pool. Or elsewhere. Thank you for cheering me up and awaken the joy of sketchbooking/ artjournaling. And one big thing: I learned that it's ok not to be as good as others. It's for my personal joy, not for gallery 😅

    I am not a marker friend, something about the plastic ticks me off, always has. I think colored pencils are much more beauriful.

    Thank you. You are so motivational. Every time. Love your videos and when I decided to start drawing in 2022, one of your videos was the first thing I watched on youtube and it was very motivational, because I have all those excuses you talk about, to not draw and take a little bit of time for me to do this. Thank you so much. You are an amazing teacher.

    It took me a long time ti figure out my sketchbook preferences. Im primary a watercolor artist but, for quick sketches i prefer an off white sketchbook, soft cover. I dont actually like super thick paper for quick sketches. I want the paper to be thick enough that i can use a wash of watercolor but thin enough that i dont feel bad doing practice sketches or writing on it. ❤

    Right now, all I have are colored pencils, and I've been wanting to try colored markers. I almost bought a set last week but wasn't sure which type or brand to get. I swear it's like you knew what was on my mind! Seeing this video has made it a lot easier for me. Thank you so much!

    My philosophy about sketchbooks is the exact opposite- *_"Leave Stress On The Outside Of An Open Sketchbook"._* That especially means not thinking about making the book "beautiful". I often write that on the first page of a new book to remind myself. Also, for me, leaving stress outside of an open sketchbook means no hardcover books. The intimidation of potentially "messing up" in a "real book" is more than I want to deal with, and I've heard that from many artists.

    No pencil in your sketch kit? Isn't that the original sketching tool? My graphite pencil collection ranges from a Sketchit brass lead holder to the heavenly Blackwing matte pencil to water soluble graphite. Drawing is the backbone of art. You can never practice enough! And forget the eraser, because art has no mistakes. 😊❤

    Your videos are very inspiring. But, another way you forgot to get sketchbooks is to make one yourself. It's incredibly fun even if they're not perfect.
    The feeling of painting what you have done yourself is wonderful.
    Have a nice day
