A One-Week Sketchbook Project
Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
This week, I'm excited to share a special "side sketchbook" I used on my trip to Switzerland. Of course I brought the daily sketchbook I was working in then, but it's a bit heavy.
Since I was traveling and hiking, I needed something light and portable, so I brought along my Hahnemühle Zigzag Book. This accordion-style sketchbook was perfect along with some simple tools - and because it doesn't have a lot of pages, I was able to fill the whole book before coming home again. And the accordion format made it fun and adventurous to work with.

Tips for Your Own Sketchbook Project:
Set a Theme: Dedicate a sketchbook or a few pages to a specific theme or trip.
Daily Drawings: Try drawing something simple every day, like your hand, face, or a mug of coffee.
Outdoor Inspiration: Take short walks and sketch after turning a few corners to capture whatever you see. Remember: everything is interesting when you draw it.
Embrace Imperfection: Don't expect amazing results, just have fun enjoying the drawing process.
This week's assignment:
Create a themed series in your sketchbook and do a drawing each day this week. Have fun, embrace the wonkiness, and happy sketching!
