Or use The Masters brush soap, which you can use to condition the brushes in between uses and coat them to preserve them. I couldn’t cope with brushes all gunky/dried up like the ones in the video.
I have gone through that, a lot actually, so my best advice would be to take a bit of time off, evaluate why you started drawing and why you continued it. Then draw whatever feels right, if you decide that drawing is the thing for you
I use the A4 white card stock from the pound shop (not 99p store) and I use everything on it, it can hold acrylic paint, watercolour, alcohol markers, ink everything! so I buy tons of it and make my own sketchbooks. Definitely keep an eye out, it's just in a plastic sleeve with blue writing across it. It's 200gsm x
I would love to know more about how you learnt to draw, what kind of books or tutorials you would recommend to a total beginner to drawing people and perhaps where you see your art going/future plans. Love your videos x
For the Q&A: What advice do you have for the novice artist out there? What is a good starting point or, in your experience, what is the best way to improve in a medium you are interested in? ( like watercolor, digital, sketching, etc) or is there a good source to recommend like books, tutorials, CZcams artist, etc. Bonus question lol ... do you think you will do a "draw my life" at some point? Thank you for taking time to read my comment/question. You are amazingly talented and absolute goals as an artist!!!!!!!
I've been on and off your channel for the last few days and can't take my eyes from your videos! - not sure how I stumbled across but I've fallen in love with your style, technique, and overall spirit for how you join the magic of your visual art with the platform that is CZcams. Congrats on a stellar channel! Can't wait to see more.
Ok here's a question for your Qn'A Minnie! What have been your biggest inspiration/is your biggest inspiration at the moment (When it comes to style and design that is)?
Brilliant video, this will help me greatly since I'm trying to do more art this year as well as do more traditional art since I only done digital for most of last year so I've been in need of recommendations for art supply's so this works wonders, definitely gonna have a look at some of your other videos.
Congrats on over 10k!! You definitely deserve it! I don't know if you'e already filmed your Q&A (I kind of catched this video super late, unfortunately) but if you haven't my question is: What is your favorite thing you've drawn recently
+Martina Violic Hey sorry I missed your question! My favourite recent thing was my Rihanna painting because it turned out almost exactly how I pictured it! Thank you!! :)
Hey Minnie, great video and congrats on reaching 10k (almost 11k now) . Definitely looking forward to your Q&A. My question for you is do you have an educational background or degree, related to art? And my second question is how do manage your planning and stick to it?
Omg you're British (as am I) I love your accent! Just found your channel, and instantly subscribed :--) what a beautiful channel with aesthetically appealing vids, great editing, and wonderful content! 💙⚡️
I really love your videos I just find then super nice and relaxing as well as useful with my art. So yeah props to you :D thanks for making all these cool videos. :>
Minnie Small · SemiSkimmedMin right. Like if your lucky you can get them on Amazon but they're often out of stock. I was gifted one from my brother in law when he was going to school in London. I despise the moleskine paper because the paper is so thin! Ink makes it angry
It depends, if you like to draw, get maybe a pencil that you like with copic markers for colouring. If you like to paint, I dunno, I don't paint all to much.
nice, I just bought that scanner, gonna install it soon. That's the only one I can get at the moment, and I was afraid that the quality might not be that good.
Hey! I love your videos and brush pen work so much :3--I just wanted to let you know that Reeves isn't quite the best gouache to use. I'd stick with Windsor & Newton or Holbein (really pigmented). (Illustration major--4+ yrs experience lol) Best! -Sharese
Very informative. I am also an oaf with my paintbrushes. The poor things! I keep them when they're tattered though, as they make great textures ❤️ question: can we be friends 😫 lol
*Super interesting video !* Your videos and your blog posts are well made, love how you settle your stuff :) I’m wondering how you stay organized each day, do you have a *same* weekly schedule ? I mean for example _monday morning filming videos_ etc...
how did you come up with your style? did you do anithing art relating as a job ( cause your sense of form and color would be really handy in graphic design^^)
"Bits and bobs" is such a cute English phrase, I love it! I say "odds and ends" sometimes :-)
just a little trick! when your brushes are dried out put them in a glass of vinegar for 20-30 minutes and there like new!
Thank you for this!

Her voice is so damn beautiful and calm, and then the videos are astonishing as well...
Where's her five million subs at?!
hiding her from drama
I agree her voice is sooo soothing
Today I finished a painting I started two years ago. It was 100% thanks to your videos.
could you maybe do some tutorials? I would really love to learn more about what inspires you and maybe some basics of painting!
Hi! I wasn't expecting to see you here, love your channel :3
LikeKristen i
I’m happy I’m not the only one who gets the huge thing of white studio gouache for painting. I also love the fact you also say “bits and bobs”
Thanks for putting USA and U.K. In description. Helpful
I would just like to say that your voice is really relaxing to listen to! :)
:) Thanks love!
You had me at ink and comic books!! new subbie here. xxx
+Sarah / sarazorel 💕💕💕 hehe thank you!! Welcome to my channel :)
I love the slick / stylish and clean presentation in this video.
Has there ever been a time in you life when you wanted to give up on art and what kind of self discipline tips would you give to stay on track.
You shoul check juicy ink's videos! They really help you being motivated
I have gone through that, a lot actually, so my best advice would be to take a bit of time off, evaluate why you started drawing and why you continued it. Then draw whatever feels right, if you decide that drawing is the thing for you
This calmed me down so much you have no idea
:)
you're voice is so calming??? like I could just play your videos on loop while studying and I would feel so calm and focused?? wow
your videos are an aesthetic seriously they are amazing
Thank you :)
your editing is superb!!!! love this vid :)
Thanks so much :)

Please do some sketchbook videos! I'd love to see all your little scribbles and things
if you are worried about loosing paper you should use a portfolio, i´ve been using one for some time and it has been working pretty well!
I love how clean your surface is, plus the detail you've given per art material. Thank you for sharing! :)
The second I heard her voice I subbed so silky smooth
Super helpful video--I'm always curious about what other artist's use, particularly the tech tools. Thanks for sharing!
I'm really happy you found it useful, thanks for watching 😊

Hi Minnie! Love your video as always! My questions for your Q&A: Did you go to an art school? Do you have some particular artists who inspire you?
Hey I am a big fan of your work. This is a question for your Q&A video. What are your future aspirations as an artist?
love this vid very much..your art tools are very professionally amaizing and gives me ideas for my own sketching/drawings
Your voice is so soft and lovely😍 It made me feel comfortable 😊
Ok here's a question for your Qn'A Minnie! What have been your biggest inspiration/is your biggest inspiration at the moment (When it comes to style and design that is)?
Hahah when Minnie got to her tech and showed us her scanner I literally looked to the right part of my desk and saw that I had the exact same one lmao
You are my favorite channel on youtube
Gonna start uni soon for graphic design so I thought lemme look around CZcams and girl I just saw your videos 😭 awesome ! Love yaaaa
Brilliant video, this will help me greatly since I'm trying to do more art this year as well as do more traditional art since I only done digital for most of last year so I've been in need of recommendations for art supply's so this works wonders, definitely gonna have a look at some of your other videos.
Great recording set-up. I need to look into GIMP again.
I love it how you don't ramble on with un important things,usually people talk wayyy too much than needed.
i lOVE your technique and the way you draw! can you talk about your style and what inspires it/how it came to be?
Good job with your work it's really beautiful
Thank you!
Congrats on over 10k!! You definitely deserve it! I don't know if you'e already filmed your Q&A (I kind of catched this video super late, unfortunately) but if you haven't my question is: What is your favorite thing you've drawn recently

Great, great video!
I've got that exact same set of graded pencils, I also have the coloured and charcoal pencils by the same people
I love your voice. Very soothing and lovely. :)
oh and my question for the q&a would be tips for gaining popularity on instagram!
I'm always so jealous you have easy access to seawhite sketchbook. They paper quality is pretty awesome but there so expensive in the states.
Oh no way! I love them cos they're so affordable here, especially for the quality.

Im in love with ur supplies!
w a i t "Blue is the Warmest Colour" is also a comic????! looks like i have some online shopping to do
I love the simplicity of this video. Excited to dive into more of your videos!! Thanks for sharing your art supplies!
Thank you! Welcome to my channel :)
You should try Krita instead of Gimp, it's free too, but far better!
I'll give it a try! Thanks for the tip :)
"Lets crack on"
Me= JESUS CRIST WHAT IS SHE CRACKING
love sis my first time watching your art work
q+a: Where is the cheapest place to get good art supplies?
Depends where you live?
Your voice is sooo nice and soft! I Love it
Great video, really helpful :*
Aw thank you!
Thank you, A very good video.
I want some ideas for stuff to get for Christmas
It depends, if you like to draw, get maybe a pencil that you like with copic markers for colouring. If you like to paint, I dunno, I don't paint all to much.

Hey! I love your videos and brush pen work so much :3--I just wanted to let you know that Reeves isn't quite the best gouache to use. I'd stick with Windsor & Newton or Holbein (really pigmented). (Illustration major--4+ yrs experience lol)

+maryharp610 Thanks my love!
+SemiSkimmedMin ❤❤❤❤❤
This video is so awesome!
Where did you start your platform on CZcams, Instagram, or Tumblr and what do you recommend for someone trying to start an art channel?
if you were to pick one famous landscape to paint, where would it be?
Im starting art and need some new suplies, I subsribed!
My question is: how long have you been making art and how do you avoid getting demotivated?
*Super interesting video !*
Your videos and your blog posts are well made, love how you settle your stuff :)
I’m wondering how you stay organized each day, do you have a *same* weekly schedule ? I mean for example _monday morning filming videos_ etc...
I really do love ur vidos im a new subscriber. I was also wondering where do u get ur supplies
Thank you
Q+A: Are there any specific art styles or mediums you want to explore in the future? If so, what?
Awesome video :)
What is the artist community like where you live and what CZcams artist channels do you follow that you really like
how did you come up with your style? did you do anithing art relating as a job ( cause your sense of form and color would be really handy in graphic design^^)
Have you ever been to the IOW ? (Isle of Wight ) it's at the bottom of the U.K.
