Can This JUMBO Pen Make Professional Art? 

Your work is lovely -- I accidentally wrote "lively" and it's that too. I especially appreciate how you talked about using colour. I'm working on seeing colour as blends, not solid tones, and I can use all the help I can get in changing my thinking.

Jess can make incredible art using ANY SUPPLY!!! 😍 I actually really like the 10 muted colours, most pens have the basic red, blue, green, so it's nice to see unique colours in these types of pens ❤

It's not the tool, it's the talent... And you, Jess, have lots of that! Happy Holidays

you're a natural teacher, Jess.

Wow, your artworks are Mesmerizing jess, I have watched the half of the video and I am still watching, but couldn't stop myself from appreciating you, your strokes are so beautiful Yes,I love making art, And If there is someone who would I love to call my Inspiration,. It's you ya,I proudly accept you as my teacher,And with your paintings your words are so precious, I love to listen them, It's like a poem,each line flows in a melody Thank you so much for sharing your wholesome artworks with us. Sending lots of love 💕🤗💝

Wow what a spread ❤ well done, Jess. And you're right... sometimes just playing is important. You prove it time and again that taking up a challenge and then just playing with colours could lead to something beautiful 😍. Kudos for what you've created. This video is definitely on my Rewatch list. It's really soothing to watch you draw multicolored portraits and landscapes. I'm still trying to get over your 100 alcohol marker challenge 😂🤣😅 once again, great video and concept🎉

I have recently tried sketching with coloured pens too. It is so difficult to know what colours fit where and the knowledge comes best from experience so practice makes perfect! And I'll keep practicing! Seriously you make me love art so much jess!

I was not expecting those sketches to come out as well as they did! That’s colour theory and trusting the process for you. Really makes me want to pick my bic pen up again ❤️

Pen is an awesome medium. This spread was absolutely stunning and i love how your spreads always unify.

I really love how this came out … when drawing I’m highly critical of myself and doing this can help make it less intimidating. Beautiful work ❤

One of those appeared in my 4th grade class and was passed around as a holy relic. We had seen and admired the 4 color, but the big 10 - WOW! Because more colors are always better❤

I love drawing in pen as well like you, and have been for the last 3 years. I do listen to music, but often like podcasts to listen as well. I agree music is a great motivation to help relax you. Thank you for sharing your lovely and never ending inspiring work. 😊

Hey , I am watching your videos from a really long time and just watching you evolve and grow makes me happy . You are my biggest inspiration to try something New every day . I just want to thank you , your videos really helps ma a lot💞

I remember those pens when I was in school!!!! Even though I loved art then, I never thought of using them to draw! Well... times have changed ... I have to get out of my rotary phone world and try new things. Thanks for inspiring me. I have to try this!!!!! Thanks for being so kind in sharing your passion for art with this old woman.. he he

7:54 Yess!! I love to listen to music while drawing! Cannot live without my music. Thank you for all the amazing videos this year. Wishing you a warm and Merry Christmas and many more opportunities next year like LightBox. ♥🎄

My goodness, these portraits are just awesome! 👍🏼💖 Oh, these colors 😱

I LOVE YOUR COLOURED PORTRAITS, YOU ARE REALLY GOOD, NORMALLY WHEN I DO MY ART WORK I LIKE TO LISTEN TO SOFT MUSIC, OR AN ENJOYABLE MOVIE. I NEVER USED A PEN TO DRAW, THE JUMBO PEN IS GREAT, I HAVE ONE I WILL TRY IT OUT THIS WEEK. HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS WITH YOUR FAMILY, HERE IT IS 23RD, LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO, MERRY CHRISTMAS DEAR JESS. BYE FOR NOW MARIA

Nice sharing jumbo pen so beautiful..

I really love the first one and the last two, they're beautiful!

Love the music for this video! 👍

Gorgeous as always

I always draw with an artist on RU-vid playing in the background, but I like the music too. I’m such a beginner, I am trying to learn something new every day.

I usually listen to music or an audio book while i make art ❤ love your channel, art & you as a person!🎉

I really enjoyed this video. I usually don't have anything playing in the background when I'm doing art but when I'm feeling insecure or stuck I play your videos in the background and it feels like you are encouraging me to just keep going and I'm able to create. Thank you so much ❤

It is really hard for me to experiment with different colors like you did but the way you did it was really inspiring. ❤

I watch your videos as I work on my creative projects, because your videos keep me motivated.

Jesss great art

Hullo Jess, I hope you have enjoyed your year and I just wanted you to know that I am truly enjoying my prints and I am also enjoying watching your videos! You are so intelligent and thoughtfully kind. I hope you are able to continue to create and share your artistic journey with us and be so encouraging to all of your viewers. I hope you are getting as much out of sharing your art as we are enjoying and learning from you, thank you. Please take care, be safe and have a wonderful holiday season.

Always a treat to watch you work!!!! Best de-stress-er in the market❤❤❤❤

Jess what a beautiful drawing and pretty colors destroying was lovely. What a wonderful job you did good job. I love this I’m so proud of you. I will always support you.

Beautiful work! I've actually purchased multi-colored pens lately to do the same thing you just did. To answer your question: When I was in my teens I could blast music while drawing. One summer, I drew a lot to AC DC, particularly Back in Black. Fast forward to now, I listened to You Tube Channels featuring interviews or talks about my favorite subject matters, but if I'm really honest with myself, I do my best work either in absolute peace and quiet or to classical music. At least during the initial stages of a drawing ( the constructing or block-in stage of the drawing) I prefer it to be quiet when I concentrate. In the later rendering stage then I'll listen to my favourite YT channel.

What a great pen. Have a great holiday, Jess.

I could watch you all day long!! Wish I could draw like that, You make it look so easy!! ❤ love your work

OMG❤ You are awesome With some Beauty On u and On ur drawing!!

Follow you from Iraq. I'm really in love with your art style. 💗💗✨⭐

Stunning!

In 2023 I fell in love with your style to paint. I love it. It's amazing and gorgeous. ♥

Crazy insanely beautiful you're gifted wow 💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💫

I love your combination of colors in your work, Jess. At first, the mix looks weird, but you have this magic that makes all of them harmonize with each other. ❤

Color color color, they speak a language of thoughts and dreams! This was a wonderful video, just what I needed to watch and open my mind to Sketch Book, play and dream! Thank you for being my muse today! Karen Dirmish,learner

You are such a good artist that it doesn’t matter what pen or pencil you use…you are a master at whatever you draw😊

I had a scented on growing up! What a trip down memory lane! I'm getting a new one!!

Love that you bring us along on the color exploration, especially the unexpected combinations. There are so many ways to try and enjoy!

Wow😃 Right on time!!

For Christmas one year my parents got all the kids a jumbo pen..that had 24 COLOURS!! It was insane. Had very little ink per colour though. Still was a great Christmas gift.

I love how some, especially the one in the middle, look like they’ve been hand carved from wood

8:03 got to find the right tempo, it’s allowed me to find whole new genres in music, I struggle to create in silence, it’s creating the correct atmosphere. I’ve discovered a Swedish rock swing orchestra Diablo swing orchestra as a result and Bach metal bands to name a few. Has to match the arts vibe 😊

I just clicked to check and it’s up 👍🏾

Sketsbook date i miss . ❤😊❤

I usually watch Jess Karp right before I sketch. She is so motivational and inspiring. I also blast music while drawing. Whatever I’m feeling that day, comes with the artwork and song. ❤

Awesome❤. I haven’t felt inspired much for the past year to make art, and this video made me cry. I wish i could find the motivation again; i have so many art supplies and a large area devoted to painting in my room. I just don’t want to paint 😢

In your hands a crayon can make professional art! I love your style. I love the way you drew people in you 100 heads thing.

For me, I'm doing a webcomic, and I get into the grove by adding ideas to notes and doing a very rough sketch. If it's a normal drawing, I watch tutorials and speedpaints, Somehow, seeing someone else draw makes me want to draw.

wonderful sketchbookspread Jess. Thanks for sharing 💖💖

Gorgeous

You are amazing, I love how you use basic art supplies to create amazing wonderful drwing . ❤

I enjoyed watching this video and was amazed with how the portrait came out from the different colors. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Love it Jess! Such a beautiful composition! When I get in my artistic mode I tell Alexa to "drop some funky beats" and listen to the lofi channel. 🎶🎶👂🏼🎨

I love playing with pens, but I get frustrated with the paper. How did the paper in your sketchbook hold up? Did it leave indentations on the under pages? 💖 Merry Christmas!

Another amazing video 😊😊😊

I have oftened wondered how hard it would be to purchase a cheap pen like this, but then replace the inks with cartridges from pens (and colors) I love. A create your own palette kind of scenario. I haven't had the courage to try this yet.

You art stlye is amazing!! I love it❤

this is so pretty Jess!! love this video

Great Vid Jess loved all the sketches!!

Early team we love u u are so creative and awesome at drawing and u are an inspiration to me by mia

absorbing the subject before getting into the crazy, and see it in its simplicity.

Nice work as always.

🎄Merry Christmas dear Jess and everybody

Wow, j'aime beaucoup ce que tu fais. Tu es inspirante.

Merry X-mas Jess. 🎄

You are awesome, hoping to meet you one day ! 🦋✨

Beautiful drawings!!!!

I find that when I slap something down on paper and see what I can create with it, it helps me

This is my first time watching your channel and it is awesome.

LoL! I’ve been using that pen all day. Warm colors are pretty good, I wish the green was more limy color but I already have dark greens BPP’s. Has a nice fine point, had to repair the body because of a crack in the threads, wouldn’t tighten up when it came loose. Used epoxy glue & tape, good as new.

I love it!

What helps me to draw??your videos ❤

This sketchbook spread is so pretty! It inspired me to get out my own multicolored pens. I have one with six colors, eight colors, and two with ten colors. I'm going to finish a watercolor painting in my sketchbook than use those. Do you have a Pinterest account where you post your artwork?

Beautiful drawings as always! I'll have to see if our dollar tree has this😊. Merry Christmas 🎅 Hugs for Matilda 😽💕

I like very much the way you have very simply unified your page at the end by added the pencils colours ! Have you used some photo references for your portraits or have you draw them from your mind ?

NICE ONE 🥰

Actually I am trying to get in the mood now,so I figured I would click on your latest and see what you were having fun with!

You could harbour 9 or 10 pens… or just 1! I can colour the Statue Of Liberty from here.

Hi Jess!! I loved this video! It really inspired me!! :) I have a question though. As someone who goes to school everyday and work, how do you manage the time. I also feel stressed sometimes at the thought of drawing when I know it’s something that shouldn’t be stressed about. How do you handle the stress? Thx :) ☺

Also! How do you make a good sketch by using pen from the get go? I have to erase a lot and redraw a lot in my process.

Please tell me that pen is scented! I had something similar growing up as an 8 year old kid, some 40 years ago. Each color had a different scent! 😋

The 90's have entered the chat

You're really amazing mam You inspire me a lot thank you so much mam 💗🌼 Eram Goveri from India 💟

Thi is colour brilliant

Love your work and videos so much. Amazed at how effortless art flows for you. I want to be you! lol! I want to ask how you do it. Yet I know the answer is practice. Draw daily. Don’t be lazy like me. 😂

Hey I was wondering if you were using refrences for that kind of spread or you just create different faces as you go?

I love your ink drawings! Are you drawing from imagination or was this photos u found? I find it really challenging to draw from imagination it never translates to the paper how I envisioned it in my mind. I’m getting better at it tho but the adhd is a huge wrench 😂 your videos inspire me to keep trying 🫶🏽

I can smell the ink through the screen

Lovely piece as usual! are you drawing these faces from memory? or looking at some references as you draw?? very curious! Thanks Jess. Merry Christmas!

I could watch an entire amsr video of this ❤

How meny pens do you have ❤ à video❤

❤❤

masterpiece.. :)

Incrível!

💚
