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.

When you draw daily, you'll fill sketchbook after sketchbook with your art. In today’s video, I’m sharing another sketchbook tour with you. I myself love flipping through other people’s sketchbooks. Whether they’re beginners or advanced, I find it super inspiring. I hope my sketchbook tours spark inspiration for you as well. It’s all about doing art every day, wherever you are.

Are you ready for another sketchbook tour?
I filled this sketchbook in May and a little bit of June, and it went by so fast!
Drawing is a daily part of my life, not just a habit or a ritual. It brings me so much joy, and I hope it can do the same for you. In today's video, I’ll take you through my sketchbook, its pages filled with moments in cafés, figure drawing sessions, and drawings from my travels and workshops.

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! Join me as I share my A4 Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook, filled during April and May 2024, with sketches from Lisbon and America. Enjoy my travel stories, drawing techniques, and creative experiments. See highlights from workshops, playful drawings, and familiar scenes from my videos.

In today's video, I'm sharing a flip-through of my Watercolor Pocket Panorama Handbook journal from the Travelogue series. 
 This sketchbook measures 3.5”x8.25” and has been sitting in my stack of untouched sketchbooks for a while. Sound familiar? If you're a sketchbook hoarder like me, you know the struggle of having too many sketchbooks and not enough time to fill them.

I finally stopped procrastinating and have taken the plunge into this challenging format! 
 Throughout the video, I'll share how I approached this elongated sketchbook with various ideas.

In today's video, join me on a sketchbook tour of The Grey Book by HahneMühle. Over nearly a year, I've experimented with various techniques and materials on its grey-toned pages. I started this some time in June, right after taking a colorful workshop taught by Maru Godas and Marina Grechanik. They provided a sketchbook that was partly filled with colored paper - after using that during the workshop, I felt courageous enough to finally take this grey toned sketchbook off the shelf and start filling it.

In today's video on YouTube, I am sharing my experience with using a smaller sketchbook, even though I'm more of a big sketchbook fan. At first, it felt a bit weird, but then I started to enjoy the challenges it threw my way. It's a switch from my habit of drawing in a big sketchbook - which I started doing to learn to be bolder in my art.
And you know what? I've grown to like the little sketchbook's practical perks.

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
Drawing brings pure joy, and I do it daily. It's not about perfection, but growth and exploration. In today's sketchbook flipthrough, discover urban sketches and creative experiments. I'll share how using certain tools expanded my art. Let's draw together and find happiness in the process!

When drawing every day, just like in life, some days are good, some days are not so great... and so are the drawings. My sketchbook is like my visual diary, reflecting my feelings, emotions and experiences of everyday life.

Upon request, today I am sharing my very first sketchbook! Not from when I was a kid or teenager, but the sketchbook that eventually initiated my sketchbook practice, as it is now.
I think it's valuable to show them, because it illustrates how all artists develop, grow, change course, and find their style throughout the year and through their practice.
