Defeating sketchbook fear with...ducks. Not kidding. Sometimes you need a slight change in your routine to allow yourself the grace to just have fun! It can be hard to do sometimes, and I definitely needed a fresh sketchbook to allow my mindset to change. It's the simple things, right?
Special mention to @pleasurenerd for also supplying me with cute duck videos and feeding the obsession ❤️

I love these sketchbooks. However, if you do suddenly get the urge to use alcohol markers you’ll find there are often spreads in these books that are stuck together along the spine and don’t open flat. I use those for alcohol markers and other bleed-through mediums because then I can stick the pages together to hide the mess and not have to deal with a spread that doesn’t lay open probperly.
I actually noticed that! I think the second page is like this, and I was confused and thought maybe to try pry it open, at the risk of tearing. That’s a great suggestion though! 🥰
Ya same i also use royal talons sketchbooks.
Bookbinder here, you'll see that on books that are made to hold up for a long time :D Books are bound in "signatures" (typically 4-6 folded sheets stacked inside eachother), and those are sewn together next to eachother in a row, and then we press them and glue down the spine. The area between the first and second signatures are often a weak spot and will tear open with time, so we tack the papers onto eachother a couple of milimetres in from the spine there as well. c: Same goes for the last couple of signatures. The thicker/more durable the book needs to be, the more tacked on sections you'll find. Just thought I'd share hehe!
@@MrValravnen That's so interesting! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I always figured something so annoying like that had a purpose, but I never knew what the exact purpose was :,-D
omg your art is so beautiful!! maybe you can draw red pandas or axolotls?? they are gorgeous and your style would make them super cute>
Aww, thank you! I keep meaning to draw red pandas, they’re absolutely adorable! And my kids are obsessed with axolotls! Definitely gotta draw those little guys too 🥰
I second axolotls.
I so feel this, that first page is so scary but these tips are amazing ☺☺
It’s true, the first page is always terrifying! It takes A LOT to train yourself into thinking that it’s ok to just have fun with it, and not put the sketchbook on some kind of pedestal!
This spread looks so lovely!!!
Thank you so much! ❤️ omg yes, that’s an excellent suggestion! I don’t mind keeping my marker sketchbook separate from other stuff, but I don’t want it to hold me back either for the reasons I talked about! If you have a spare (smaller) sketchbook about, I’d definitely recommend using it to have fun with other stuff ❤️
Awww the ducks are soo cute!! ❤❤❤ I love your art sooo much! And I'm also super glad you're using other mediums too! That's why I also have one sketchbook just for alcohol markers and I have a royal talens too in this same color as I just started experimenting with colored pencils and water markers! Also the whole being messy and loose is something I'm trying to do too since I'm usually terrified of making mistakes. We definitely gotta have fun with it! 😊❤
Thank you! ❤️ yeah, I really want to just branch out a little more. I used to be obsessed with trying a little bit of everything, but I’ve grown too comfortable with just using alcohol markers. It’s a tough fear to get over, but I really think having a smaller sketchbook makes it easier! There’s less paper to look at, and for some reason I find that comforting 🤣
@@lornakelleherart I totally agree! Smaller sketchbooks really help! I love mine so much! 🤣❤️
I needed to hear this so much❤ love the ducks
I hope any of it helps! And thank you! They’re too cute, and now I want prints of these all over my studio 🤣
Beautiful spread. Perfect for Spring.
Thank you! I should probably continue the theme for a while!
this is such a lovely sketchbook spread!
Thank you so much!
Lovely video & art! Perfect for spring!! 😍
Thank you! 🥰 haha, I realised that after I had finished! I’ll need to do more spring related content
You should try drawing sloths! You can make them realistic or blobby and loose (i do the blobby ones) and its a really fun way to incorporate animals or use it as a warm up
Oh my god, yes! 🥹🥹🥹 amazing suggestion!
@@lornakelleherart thank you, I hope you enjoy it!
In love with this spread!
Thank you so much! I’m super proud of it ❤️
I love your ducks so could you plese draw some owls too? I find owls to be very relaxing to draw. At the end of the day they are just some silly and pretty birds right? And there are so many types of owls too! Anyways, thanks for your video!!!
Oh my! Owls are so cute too! Yes, I’d definitely love to draw them! And thank you ❤️
Second- I love your art, it’s so inspirational!! You’re awesome 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Thank you so much ❤️
This is why I have sketch books and 'sketchbooks' them being like whatever notebooks for free commercial thingys. But sometimes I do my best work in them because I feel so free not destroying anything expensive
Love the handy duck but also all the other ducks, cannot pick
Haha, that’s always the way, right? When we feel like we have nothing to lose, then we do our best work! There’s so much mindset shifting that needs to happen sometimes just to enjoy drawing without expectations.
So adorable 💖
Thank you!
Lovely duckies!!!
They’re cuties
Can u draw so kitten ? Your art style can make it so cute.
Ooh, I love kittens. So yes!
I love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤️
Super cute ❤
❤️❤️
Would you say those markers are good and worth the money? Bc I’m gonna get them but to do that I need to to a months worth of dishes 😢
Oof, a month’s worth of dishes? I’d say they’re definitely worth that! I enjoy using them anyway, and for me they’re worth it!
First! I love your art!❤❤
Aww, thank you! ❤️
❤
❤️❤️
