Flipping Through My Sketchbook

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Drawing can bring you joy, growth and mindfulness. That's why I draw every day. Because I draw every day, I filled up another sketchbook , and I'd love to show you.

I enjoy flipping through other people's sketchbooks, because you can learn so much from each other. I hope today's sketchbook tour inspires you to keep up your creative habit.

Even though on my priority list I put drawing time at the top, some days I don't have much time or even energy to draw. Then I still do it. Even a 10-minute drawing will make me feel that happiness of creative flow. And if I can't fill a whole page at once, I make sure to come back to the page the day(s) after. Drawing by drawing, I can complete the page that then tells the story of a few days in a row. You'll see that I've done that on quite a few pages in this sketchbook.

Other recurring topics are the living room, my husband, cafe drawings and explorations with different art materials.

My book "Life is better when you draw it" is available for you to purchase online. I wrote the book for people who love drawing and need inspiration. It's about how drawing can make you happy and mindful. In the book, I share ways to embrace the daily sketchbook habit, tips, and lots of drawings from my sketchbooks.
