I've seen so so so many artists young and old talk about the hardships of not just starting a new sketchbook, but finishing one as well! Well for the new year, let's all tackle that together! Here are my tips and advice for getting started with a new sketchbook and reaching its conclusion.

ALSO: I've had quite a few requests to have written versions of the video tutorials I make, and for all you readers out there, I have a special surprise for you! If reading is more your thing, go check out the corresponding blog post over on my website! I've also been posting loads of other tips and advice, like how to draw galaxies, paint grass, draw realistically, get started with plein air, and more! All for FREE ya'll. So get going with that learning and check out my website ;)



If you've found these tips helpful, please share them around with your friends! Word of mouth really helps me out, plus you'll probably help out a few struggling friends as well :dance: 


And if you have your own tips for starting or completing sketchbooks, let me know in the comments, I'd love to read your techniques too :la:

Hope ya'll are having a lovely 2018 so far! Let's keep doing our best and having fun :love:

This is a problem I'm having with my sketchbooks. I've never ever filled one properly. I'm one of those people who panic with the first page.
It's not much help that I keep buying more with patterned covers whenever I go out. Curse clearance bargains!!!:D (Big Grin) 
Luckily I'm beginning to draw less on printer paper so I don't have to keep gluing everything in. Other incidents include misplacement or art getting damaged as a result.
I also need to bring a sketchbook with me more when going outside.
