Another sketchbook officially filled!

This quick and messy mandala marks the end of the 5th sketchbook I’ve ever filled up.
My stack of completed sketchbooks.

It’s always a special day when I finally fill a sketchbook from front to back.

I almost exclusively work in sketchbooks because they’re so easy to store compared to loose papers and canvases. Whenever I make art outside of a sketchbook I generally give it away!

I noticed that my Google drive folders that contain photos of every page of my first two sketchbooks are down. I’ll have to fix that soon, but our computer is currently out of commission.

I may attempt to film sketchbook tours some day, but life is far too busy and messy to devote time to that right now. Plus my phone camera isn’t as good as I’d like it to be for something like that. I don’t even have anything that resembles a tripod!

I just wanted to pop by and share my excitement! I made a resolution to finish filling 3 sketchbooks this year, since I have so many that are partially filled. That makes 1 down and 2 more to go, and it’s only the 11th of January! I’d love to fill more than 3 if possible, but we’ll see about that.

That’s also why I’ve been blogging so much more lately, I made keeping up with this blog another one of my resolutions. So far so good!

  1. I have never managed to fill a sketchbook but am aiming to get there – KUDOS to you! πŸ™‚ I’ve been searching for fellow artists’ blogs to follow & am so glad to have come across yours! Excited to poke around some more!

    1. Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately I didn’t receive any notification of it, otherwise I would have responded sooner.

      I believe in you! It’s so common for us artists to just want to bounce from one new shiny sketchbook to another, so it’s no wonder many of us take a very long time to fill one from start to finish for the first time. Just find one you really like and try to draw (or paint or write or paste in stuff… Etc!) if not daily on a regular basis at least. And always remember that any drawing, including bad drawings, is better than no drawing!

      I very much appreciate the follow πŸ™‚ unfortunately I don’t post on any sort of schedule, so sometimes it can be months between posts! I’ve made it a goal to post more often this year so hopefully that won’t be the case though. I have an idea for a post so hopefully I will make it soon!
