    I have always wanted to fill an entire sketchbook, and finally I did! I spent 12 days painting and drawing, and in the end I could do the sketchbook flip-through / tour I've always wanted to do :')

      Yeah, it can be. Combining different mediums is one of the real joys of the multidisciplinary strategy. But imagine having to buy all of the mediums, it can get very pricey, quickly.

      You can too, Tracy. No one is really 'good' at art. All it is, is hours worked at perfecting the craft. Grinding away, even if you don't like the result, and often especially when you don't. Hours and hours, your lines getting straighter, your curves getting neater. It's all just a matter of time.

      Same. I have to wait for something inside to move me before I develop even a single piece I've started. It helps to leave your work and art supplies out where you can see it at all times. When I did this, once, I could be busy with something else and notice more things I could do to my art (as the art sat in the corner of the room, staring at me). Then I would simply walk over and try what would come to mind, and before I knew it the flow would begin. Maybe I should go back to doing that, lol.

  • @ButterflyColors
    @ButterflyColors Před 2 lety +2236

    Here’s how I fill up sketch books:
    1. *Never rip out pages!* it’s tempting but don’t do it! It’s bad for the book but also it’s just not good for your creative process either. If you really hate something u drew, put sticky notes or stickers on top of it, or use a marker to draw over, but please for the love of god don’t rip the page
    2. Don’t show anyone your sketch book. Draw personal self indulgent drawing that you would never post online, draw things for yourself without the expectation of showing others.
    3. Don’t put too much pressure on it. Make sure to draw something ugly earlier on, you don’t have to go out of your way to make it ugly, but just try something new and if it turns out ugly that’s ok. Keep it there, and now in the sketch book from now on this will be your standards. Like if you draw something later and think it’s bad you can just refer back to the first bad drawing and realize “this isn’t that bad”
    4. Draw the way *you* prefer sketching. I used to be awful at keeping up sketch books or finishing them. I always put too much emphasis on making every page look nice, and I never used all the space on a page. But when I would be in class I would doodle on the margins of my work sheets, then turn them in and never see those drawings again. So I got a little sketch book so anytime I would be in class and felt like doodling on my paper, I would instead take out my sketch book to draw my little doodles in there instead. And it was great, I ended up filling entire pages and not caring if they were masterpieces. So if your the type to grab a different paper to try a doodle or idea for a drawing, this time instead try gravitating to your sketch book first and draw it there. Treat your sketchbook like extra paper that’s laying around
    5. Make sure you get a good sized book. Are you the type that always has too much space left on pages that you never fill? Try getting a smaller sketch book, so you can fill pages easier and see less unused negative space.
    6. What’s the quality of your book? Is your sketch book really high quality and that intimidates you? Dose you’r sketch book have a really great design on the cover that you don’t want to ruin. Well try getting a cheaper book, get a book that has a blank cover. Quality is important sometimes though, sometimes you want paper that can withstand whatever medium you prefer, but don’t choose really cool looking books that look so beautiful to the point where you never want to draw in them because your scared it will ruin it. And when it comes to customization, I don’t decorate my sketch book cover with drawings and stickers until I’m 60% done with it. If you decorate the cover early on then you don’t want to “ruin” the book with bad drawings, so I wait later until I’m comfortable with it.
    7. Finally, don’t compare your sketch book to others, especially the really pretty impressive ones online. I don’t care if your sketch book as a lot of amateur unfinished doodles while some kid on insta or CZcams has masterpieces on every page, at least you finished *your* sketch book, with every page drawn on, and a lot of your personality and thought process put into it.

      This is wholesome and healthy approach to the sketchbooks.
      I'd add, that if one has difficulty finishing the book, try slimmer book, say, just 32 pages instead of 60 or 120, and then expand from there.
      Also - blank covers are nice because one can decorate them with anything.

    As an aspiring writer, I can confirm that completing literally ANYTHING, even if I have to force myself to do so, gives me the drive to write longer or better quality works. Last month, my wife challenged me to write everyday. Because of some time constraints on some days, I only completed 20 out of 30 days, but that’s more than I’ve ever done independently before! I also really enjoyed myself, so I’ve continued working on a prompt my friend gave me 2 weeks ago. Initially, his story was meant to be about 3 pages, but based on my progress and the outline I created, it’s going to end up somewhere around 50 pages! Great job pursuing your sketchbook goal. Sometimes we creative types need to force ourselves to get started, but we always end up having fun in the end. :)

      Good. Most people make the mistake of trying to start at the beginning when writing a book or project. I get into a general outline and then find scenes or things that grab me and do those first, and then go on from there. (for instance, a snippet of dialog, or an action scene) If you keep at it you'll find yourself taking notes at anytime and it will be self-sustaining. (Trust me, for me the hard part is stopping!) I can usually complete a 300+ page book in under 20 days these days. Completing a project is very addicting and satisfying!

Why you decided to do it, what your mental process was during the experience, your thoughts about doing it afterwards and any words you have for other artists etc. It would be really interesting I think.

    It's actually really fun pausing on the pages that catch your eye and I recommend everyone do it. These are quite good for averaging 25 a day. I'm a sucker for neatly framed small things with lots of shades of similar colors with lots of contrast like 9:54. I'd hang those side by side on a wall like the cat's checking out the dracos.
    Love was put into every one of these. It's great. It's an awesome book.

    This video was an absolute treat to watch. Thank you for sharing your wonderful art skills! You being able to fill out a 300 page art book (a book that you happen to make yourself) is honestly amazing. I can’t wait to buy a copy of this sketch book once it restocks (hopefully). ☺️

    I caught myself saying things out loud while watching this. Along the lines of: "This girl is fucking insane", "What a madlad", "Goddamn she's monsterously good", "Fucking hell I'm jelous of her skills and mindset and dicipline". A few more things, but this was generally the emotions I felt during this. Martina, you are so bloody talented. Legit on top of your game because of how you always challenge yourself, and then proceed to exceed those expectations every damn time. Sick!

    @Cantrona Před 2 lety +200

    Sometimes you have to set a challenge like this for yourself.
    In the last 2 years I had 2 sketchbooks open but mainly did digital art. When 2021 started I'd set the resolution that I'd finish both by the end of the year. I finished the smaller one in early August and then blasted through half of the larger one in about a month, finishing it mid-October. I'd had that sketchbook in use for over 2 years, which is the longest I've had a sketchbook in use for since I started filling sketchbooks. It was beyond satisfying to get it done but I found myself on an incredible roll with it when I really got into it. Glad you finally got to experience that finished sketchbook feeling! I hope you get the chance to complete some of the old ones you've cracked open before too :)

    I thought my son (age 22) and I were the only ones who moved on without completing a sketch book. This has given me the inspiration to sit with him once a week in the new year and do 2 pages each, so by the end we would have 104 each.
    Please never stop this beautiful passion of yours!!

I have always struggled on completing a sketch book full of drawings, and I keep collecting them and I wasn't sure quite why, but you nailed it on the head. Anyways, you've inspired me to actually finish a sketchbook and that's going to be my goal this coming year. Thanks again for sharing your passion with the world.

    I could never, for the love of everything that's good out there, complete a sketch book. I buy material all the time. I go to the store and my eyes are glued to the art supplies and I have to leave with a piece or two, it's a thing I cannot fight. My mind conjure ideas all the time, but my hands are not skilled enough to follow and It's way too easy to just 'Leave it for Later'. I watched with secret adoration and a great deal of respect as you went through this one and my heart.. well....my simple heart was filled with joy and pride at the happiness radiating from you at the very end. Silly as it is, I was teary eyed as it was ending. I stumbled upon this channel a while back and it's incredible to watch it grow and expand. You have so much in you to put on these pages, it's marvelous really. Never stop challenging yourself like that, it a beautiful work of art in every next step you take.
