Drawing, Sketching with the FAMILY

My daughters like to draw too much, they like these big drawing books or coloring books, I like to buy them these every year, sometimes in the school breaks for them to cut time. I usually have all of my kids set together enjoying drawing, painting and sketching. I do set with them, like a bonding activity with my kids. 

I notice that they liked these activities where we all set together and draw. They often ask me for this activity and they prepare by themselves the place, the table and the materials... they like to use my materials a lot actually :) which I think it is adorable. Although it is a bit annoying sometimes :)

I have drawing or sketching sets for them to use, different pencils and colors with the drawing books too. I found these in amazon which I will maybe buy for them:

1. Drawing and Sketching Set Hiforny

In my experience, these sketch books "zeichnen" are for therapy, for relaxing and stress free for me and the kids. It really made them calm, focused, more relaxed and they enjoyed their time. 

I used to draw these myself in the past for them, before I know these books actually exist. I enjoyed drawing them actually for my eldest daughter to paint. It gave me a space to be creative and relaxed too. I wish I kept some of them to show you. Maybe I will start my own zeichnen book soon :) just a thought.  

Well, the pencil sets are really satisfying to have and to keep, nice and clean. Just looking at it, make me really satisfied :) its feels like enjoying an amazing landscape view, well, all artists like to buy these materials and keep them clean, new maybe for as long as it takes. Or it maybe just me only who likes to do that. What about you? 

See you in another post!

My Abstract Art YouTube Channel

Hello everyone,

As I was still reading some chapters from the Big Magic book for Elizabeth Gilbert, I had large emotions, mix emotions to start my own work, my own channel to share my art creations and inspire abstract art lovers all over the world, not just my country.

It structed me what I read in the book about ownership, I saw it actually, searching to see other artists have great channels, teaching art, sharing resources, getting paid, being famous, this is what I want to do, what I want to be, but I didn't move a bit to make it happened. I saw many beautiful paintings, amazing abstract art, that I know I can do, or create better, but no, I didn't take the ownership, I became the viewer only for a long time.... so as Elizabeth said in the book as long I leave it, other people own it. 

I talked to myself a lot, which is good actually, talking to myself in good way, in a very kind way, make some of my dream job coming true finally. I had a laptop as a gift!, which was a focal start actually. In all my years, as an artists, didn't buy my own PC or laptop at home. Never think I grant it or need it, or actually feel that this is the start. I learned that having a good quality phone, social media accounts is not enough to start a channel actually. A laptop made the work much easier and much more professional. 

So, with this laptop, which I am using now to write my post today. Maybe some of you thinks, what she is talking about????, everyone have laptops either for study or work. Well I have my laptop for work, yes I do, but for home use, no, I didn't have one. I meant a laptop my kids wouldn't touch or use for study or games. I don't know, maybe you found my happiness to have this laptop is silly, but I am really happy and enjoying using my own laptop with my own apps and programs. 

So, I started by search with my friend, Chat GPT, about what I need to create professional videos, and I downloaded and buy all programs and apps needed with the help of some my IT friends, which made me much happier than before. And it gave me a great pleasure to announce my lunch of my own You Tube Channel, with 4 videos for abstract art, using my great programs and buying my own music tracks to accompany my videos. I uploaded my first video on 22 December 2024, I have now 12 subscribers with 452 views in total. I so happy with this work till this moment. 

I will keep posting, keep painting, keep learning and educating myself before others. I will keep sharing my art work for all the world as long as I can. This is what make me happy.. Thanking Allah for this great achievement, that I believe it is very important for me. 

So, please visit my channel and tell me your honest opinion. I welcome and treasure all comments for sure. http://www.youtube.com/@hudaalmardoud5642
