another tip to hide marker bleeds: draw on a separate piece of paper and then glue that into your sketchbook - keeps your page count the same and still hides the blobs :)
Or, you could put a collage of photos and cutouts on that page to hide the stains!
@@uxvula that's still wasting a page. ;)
@@demi3115 you can put anything in a sketchbook. Not just art ;)
@@demi3115 Another option is to put post it paper in it and be creative with it, it gives you another perspective, I love to do that 💖
@@demi3115 Uhm, no, it's not.
Sometimes, on the page with bleeds, I like to glue some art I do outside of my sketchbook on there so everything can be in the sketchbook together and it covers the bleeds
Oh I love that! Such a cute way to hide the bleed and keep the doodles and art made on scrap papers 😁
thats what i do! or i use it those spaces to do studies
I accidentally came across this video and I have to admit, the sudden random Bulgarian landscape at 4:36 was like a slap in the face lol. a very unexpected but nice surprise, it's my country and I was like *_no_* *_wayyyyy_* 😁 it's a fun video 🌟
Hehe I feel you, I also get excited when Czechia appears somewhere I wouldn’t expect it! 😄 I hope I did Bulgaria justice! ♥️
This helped me SO much 💖 No matter how long you have been drawing, a blank sketchbook can still be intimidating! (also I relate - cars are some my least favorite things to draw 😅 but now I shall try too hehe)
I’m very happy this helped you, thank you for the lovely comment 🥰 and yes haha go draw some cars! :D
Your drawings look so perfect... Another proof that everyone hates their work sometimes
4:35 I literally SCREAMED! I get so excited when my country gets mentioned anywhere outside of Bulgarian media! I definitely recommend looking at different places from Bulgaria for inspiration, there are so many pretty locations
I feel you, I am the same with Czechia! 😄 and yes please, give me all the recommendations, I would love to explore your beautiful country more!! 🥰
@@lucieell the Rila Monastery, Plovdiv Old Town, Old Nessebar, Old Sozopol, any of the churches really, Tsarevets, the sea garden, Plovdiv Roman Theatre, Belogradchik fortress, the Stone Forest & more! As well as any mountains & fields :))
this motivated me so much. i have an empty sketchbook in my room right now. i was scared to start it because what if I mess up? but after watching you draw, i feel much better. its okay to mess up sometimes :)
Aww yay, I’m glad! 🥰 and yes, it’s perfectly fine to mess up, that’s how we learn! ♥️
You could glue colored paper over the blobs or trace them. You can paint over them, make sticker collages, or use a mixed media sketchbook.
That was lovely :) I'd love to see a video about your favourite art supplies.
Thank you so much! 🥰 and that’s a lovely idea, I’ll add it to my potential videos list! 😁
this was actually super helpful, particularly the stuff about the first page. I hate just jumping in with a sketchbut never know what to put there, so I leave it blank then get frustrated when i'm finishing my sketchook that the only blank page is the first one. This motiveated me to do a simple but cute design on the first page of my current book that's going to give me peace of mind as I get to the end of it
You could always put inspiration pics on those pages. Like mood or vision boards, colour palettes etc. things that inspire your sketches.
I LOVED all the advice! I was actually dissapointed to see you only had 2 videos, I was hoping for more XD. Thanks for the tips, I cant wait to see where your channel goes!
This was the most entertaining, helpful and inspiring video I saw about starting a new sketchbook. You manage to take out all of the pressure we’re putting on ourselves to make the perfect spread. I love your sketching style as well. I’m so glad I found your channel 😊
Ahh that’s so kind, thank you so much! 🥹♥️
I filled my “first” sketchbook, and I don’t have an other one yet! This motivated me even more. I have a first sketchbook too, but I didn’t finish it! I still call this one my second tho! I acually don’t like doing the first page, because, idk. But I actually did it this time! Can’t wait for a new sketchbook!
Another tip for the bleeding! If you dont want to skip a spread!
If its only a little bleeding:
use sticky notesss! Its so helpfull! U can also draw on it! Personally i love this! Btw thanks for the tips!❤
Omg, i love this so much!! Your style of drawing is so amazing, its so cute
ive watched so many sketch book tips and this one has been the most helpful one for me, thank you so much for this video it is really helpful cant wait to watch more from you!!!!!
Aww that’s so lovely to hear, thank you so much, I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰 I’m working on a new video right now! ♥️
Ahhh I loved this video! It was equally fun, interesting and helpful ❤ Loved all the tips too!
Ahh thank you so much Katria, you’re so kind!! 🥹♥️
This was a delightful collection of sketchbook tips. I have already heard before about most of them, but you have a unique way of explaining that really resonates with me. Thank you. ☘️
i don't normally comment on videos but omg i love your video so much !! your drawings were so comforting to watch and the voiceover was so fun and entertaining that i watched through the whole thing without skipping a single part (which i haven't done in ages cause my attention span is practically non-existent). i haven't owned a sketchbook in a long time - i finished my last one about a year ago and simply never got a new one because i just felt so burnt out with studies, work and moving countries. i do still draw, but mainly on random scraps of paper (receipts from stores are my new favourite thing ahaha). that's not the point. your video was just so,, comforting. it genuinely felt like no matter how i use a sketchbook, it's just for me, only i will see it. i'm going to go buy a new sketchbook right now. i haven't felt this way in ages, but something about your drawings and your voice,, you're so inspirational.
Thank you so much for writing such a lovely comment, I appreciate it so much! It’s such an honor that you watched the entire video and that it inspired you to get a sketchbook! ♥️ I hope you have a lot of fun with it 🥰 and hey, you can also take the random scraps of paper you usually draw on and stick them into the sketchbook, I feel like it’d be so lovely to look back on them in the future! 😁
@@lucieell thank you !! I just got my sketchbook and can't wait to start. ill definitely stick in my scrap drawings, maybe on the backside of any pages that bleed through. but once again, thank you for your lovely video 💖💖
Wow, this was so helpful, and I've fallen in love with your art style already! I'm inspired to draw now!! 🌻
Thank you for the tips. I really liked the video 😍 I loved the thing you did about the receipt!
Everyone does art differently, Personally, I love the bleed blobs because it just looks nice to me, and I put zentangle in the blobs :))
This video is such a comforting way to inspire others to draw! Thank you ❤
I'm so inspired! My sisters can draw but I never felt I had it, but random little sketches sounds less intimidating than one picture
I love this channel! This video helped me so much! 😍
Oh my gosh! This video is so lovely! It made me smile - I am just about to start a new sketch book and am having all of these doubts ❤
This was great advice! I will be using it from now on.
Also, I love your art style! 😍✨
yaay, nové video🎉 Už teď se těším na další :D Hezky zpracované Luci! 💙
Moc děkuju Kubo, mám velkou radost, že se ti líbí zpracování! 🥹♥️
Thanks for this video Lucie! It motivated me to draw after weeks of procrastination.
Your art is💫fabulous ! and it really helped 💖
I loved this video. You really inspired me to break out my sketchbook and draw ❤️Your art is beautiful ❤
Loved your video and your sketchbook! It's full of colors and I love your work on landscapes! And I totally agree with you on cars 😅
Thank you so much; this really helps. I struggled so much with what to draw in my sketchbook, and I ended up not drawing anything. I'll follow your guide and see where this takes me.
The video is fun yet relaxing to watch! Far from boring. Love to watch more
super helpful! I'll have to try the street view idea.

I loved it all your art is amazing I can’t imagine feeling anything but pride if I drew as well as you! You’re too hard on yourself it’s incredible!
Ahh you’re way too kind, thank you! ♥️ I believe all artists have these feelings from time to time, but you’re right, we shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves! ♥️
Thank you so much for posting this video. It os really helpful. You give me courage to start drawing in my sketchbook again. Díky❤
oh hell yeah, that's my favorite sketchbook brand, I've been using it for like 5 years now!
I have a rare money note and I'm planning on pasting it in my sketchbook.I just came back from the main market and brought one. I'm really excited to fill it with all these tips✨

I love your arts❤❤❤ new sun here😭😭 I really appreciate all the effort you put in, please keep going !
I hear you complaining about your drawings and I'm thinking they are so beautiful, just so well done I would love to do one quarter as well as you.
loved this!
When you get marker bleeds, instead of covering the try to imagine what those blobs of colour could be and draw it. If you want to add more color to it, try not to use markers to avoid damaging the other drawing. Hope this helps 😊
Your paintings are very beautiful and spectacular. I got many ideas from you. Thank You! 🙏🙏
Thank you, I’m very happy you got ideas for your art from this! 🥰
i just bought the same sketchbook (but I think it's the smaller version? mine is a5 and I guess yours is a4) and I didn't know yours was the same when I clicked on the video, so it took me by suprise! Currently testing all kinds of art supplies and if they work/bleed/whatever on the paper, so far I'm really vibing with how watercolors turn out
Love this whole video. Thanks! ✨:)
I love this!Pls upload more.

Ahh you’re way too kind, thank you! 🥺♥️
Everything everywhere all at once is a very complicated, sad, heartbreaking, happy, well done film
I hope you gain more subscribers 🎨🎨.You're so underrated.
I've nearly finished my sketchbook and this was really useful! And in my sketchbook, (this won't work for everyone since I use more than one medium) I use acrylics to do a painting on the other side of the marker page
8:26 your cars are perfect, TBH I don't hate drawing cars although my cars usually look weird and ugly
you draw very well and perfectly, thank you for sharing my friend
Really cute
really enjoyed your spontaneous approach for sketchbooks. ☺
Aww thanks, I’m glad! 😁♥️
loved your content
I'm so confused by the date on the starting page. But I love your art. I may try to go back and finish watching the movie EEAAO.
This was great 🥰
Could you make a full step by step tutorial ? I love your style and thé way you mix supplies 😁
Aww thank you! 🥰 I share step by step tutorials every month over on my Patreon! ♥️
You give me the idea for my blog❤thanks
Hey, I love this video! It really helped me, but honestly, I used to draw a lot, but then I stopped because I thought all of my drawings were bad. All I wanted was to create a sketchbook and make drawings like you did, but I stopped for a while. When I came back, I drew like a one-year-old. I just wanted it to be perfect from the first try, and now I don't draw anymore. This video inspired me to make a sketchbook, but I don't know how to do the shading or put different colors to make it look good waiting for your response 💗💗
I just fold a piece of paper and put it between the pages as I'm using the markers, so if It bleeds it transfers to the piece of paper, not to the next page of the sketchbook, and it works just fine :) btw I love your drawing style and tips!
I saw on a tiktok compilation vid that in order to hide ur marker bleeds u can just paint over it with black paints and it works for acrylics, oil paints and I think gouache too but I won't say u should use black watercolors cuz y`know its watercolor!!
Thank you for this❤❤:)
New video Yay!!!! So happy!!👉🏼👈🏼🌬💓💗🥺
I’m happy you’re happy! 🥹♥️
i love this video
great video i love it when people talk during the whole video
Lol, I was wondering if the randomstreetview would ever show images from my country (Bulgaria) and a few seconds later, you are actually drawing a scene from Bulgaria :D
Hehe I also get excited when I see Czechia somewhere 😁 I hope I did your country justice with the drawing!
I'd really like to see your sketchbook tour
I’m planning to do exactly that for my next video 🥰
first vid from u and i love u already, lol
Love this content! Thanks for the tip! I just subscribe!
Thank you very much, I’m happy you liked the tips! 🥰

I just love your channel and your art style you really inspire me. 🧋🌤can u do a sketchbook tour? ✨🙌🏻
