In my YouTube video, I share many examples showing how to fill a sketchbook with quotes! Click the video box below or head here to watch it on YouTube!
Where to start?
- The first thing you’ll need is a sketchbook or journal of your choice. Think about what kind of art you want to create, what techniques bring you joy and choose a journal accordingly. Below I share a few different sketchbooks I’ve used and what techniques work best with those sketchbooks.
2. Next, you’ll need a set of quotes to write into your journals. A quote is a great starting point for your page. Choose a pdf from below, print it off and check of the quote after your’ve lettered it

3. Then you just fill the page with positive words! Write down the quote in your handwriting, or use a brush pen to hand letter it; doesn’t matter which. Writing down the words is the important part.

If you are feeling creative, decorate your quotes with whatever you want.

Below are a bunch of ideas that I hope inspire you to start a sketchbook of your own today!
