I absolutely LOVE your drawing style. Your drawings might not be hung in museums but they're magnificent in my eyes. All I wish for is to be able to draw like that. In my death bed I wish to have many sketchbooks full of pages just like you have. You are such a BIG inspiration!!!!! your drawings, your videos, your essays... THANK YOU!!!!!!

One thing I really enjoy about your pages is perspective. There was a spread where there was a huge tree with what appeared to be city traffic below and a big block of text to the right side. I wanted to spend more time studying that one. It was so inviting and engaging. Thanks for all the tips

I haven't followed you for long, and perhaps that's why I'm confused. I thought the purpose of the sketchbook was to grab it at odd moments and practice drawing, make visual notes I might want to return to, and experiment. This video seems to imply that the sketchbook is something that should stand alone as a work of art, with cohesive, organized, beautiful constructions. I'm a complete beginner, so the latter is a bit daunting to me. I think I'd do much better with the former, while I'm starting to learn, rather than the latter, which will require a great deal of effort and planning. The illustrations in this video are impressive, and showcase your skill and experience. It's intimidating to this beginner. Today's sketchbook is something one could show off, or exhibit. I like the idea of random practice instead; comforting. Edited to add: Just re-watched one of your beginner's videos. Calmed down again, thanks!

Hi - these are truly beautiful sketchbooks and such generous sharing of great ideas, thank you, but I’m with you… my sketchbook is very messy and I don’t want the pressure to produce a sketchbook of beauty instead of just experimenting and having fun. Maybe I’ll evolve?

It's amazing how you fill the pages, especially in large sketchbooks. I'm afraid to draw so big and put so much on one page. Just drawing over the second page...makes me nervous. But you make the most of every millimeter. Simply impressive.

I am a regular Thursday SS viewer and often a participant. I seldom miss a drawing session and enjoy the banter between you and JJ… and lest I forget….the occasional cameos of Twiglet and the sound notifications of the leaf-blowers. Your drawings and dialogue all make your YT programs ‘not-to-be-missed’. In my opinion, I cannot get enough of your sessions on illustrated journaling - particularly when you share your journals. I watch each video several times and ‘soak’ up all the ‘ink’ that fills each page to tell a story or express a graphical portrayal of a moment in time or a daily occurrence in your life. Your encouraging demeanor and commitment to make art is a testimony to the joy it brings you! Thank you…pt in GF NY

At the beginning of May I started a new sketchbook that I've been pretty careful with, and then yesterday happened. All was well with the double page (wet on wet) floral abstract, then I added a drop of ink on the wet page that spread to 1/3 of the page, and it oblitered the watercolor. I have to tell myself that the sketchbook is for experiments, right..

Thank you so much Danny, for sharing this! I would love a detailed course in sketchbook skool on how to connect text to drawings. I often love text in my drawings and „just do it“, sometimes it works, sometimes not. I know, that you have an amazing course with Andrea Joseph about writing., I loved it . My question is more about the composition and about not loosing the playfulness in the process. That is, what I love about your compositions. They are very characteristic, cartoonish and kind of wonky, but yet very accurate. I love this mixture. Thank you very much for sharing your ideas!

1:45 = Introduction/Gist of the video: balance, contrast, focal points, how to use text to complement your images. Mentioned "Illustrated Journaling" 3:01 = Focal Points, on how you can use composition, contrast, color, size, and texture to draw your eye to a specific part of the image 4:01 = Text to add context and be used as a visual element to create a balance, or use it as a grid, title as a visual element 5:57 = A couple images to create a balance on two pages of the sketchbook; take note of composition, symmetry, focal points, and balance 7:34 = Similar; draw objects that have a similarity or have a visual relationship, things of related items or similar color schemes 8:39 = Grids don't have to be strict, just need to be framed 9:28 = Call outs; images with text annotations; like instructions or infographics or jokes 10:25 = Collage of drawings 11:00 = background; large image feels all throughout the page, then there's a text embedded in the image itself 12:22 = Closing remarks = These tips are just starting points 12:48 = a small tip as guidance to start = take one of these ideas, look at your favorite books and magazines that you love, and take the elements you like, copy the layout; recreate it with your own stuff

You will be happy to know that although I still have not finished reading The Creative Licence which I bought a decade ago (Crazy trauma inducing mother, now dead about thirty years); yesterday I received Everyday Matters. Only went inside my house to get a sofa pillow, then lay down in the highest step of my house entrance, with my feet stiking out the metal handrail and read the entire Everyday Matters. I bet my neighbors who already thought I'm the block's crazy old lady, are now sure. By the way, another book is supposed to show up today. Delivery on Sunday??
