A Sketchbook From The Archives
Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
Today I am showing you a Sketchbook from the archives.
Once I discovered the sketchbook habit (as in, keeping a sketchbook as a visual journal), a lot of things changed for me as an artist. The sketchbook wasn't just a place to dump ideas or for making sketches that then would turn into projects or illustrations.
For years now, my sketchbooks are my journals, filled with little personal stories (one on each page), and together, they are stories of my life, of me. Looking back at art from the archives can be really inspiring and fun. You'll notice how much you've grown and developed as an artist - and as a person. No need to compare even, but to just soak up the fact that you are allowing yourself time and space for your creativity!
I am currently in the process of making a book about drawing: Life is better when you draw it. It'll be in English and it's filled with motivation and inspiration for your drawing practice.
