A look into my sketchbook!
Added 2021-01-03 18:31:00 +0000 UTCMany people have very pretty sketchbooks with beautiful illustrations - but I am not one of those people. My sketchbooks are super ugly - with half finished drawings, scribbles, sometimes blank pages (yes I am one of those people). I use it purely for scribbling down ideas and notes.
In the past, I tried having sketchbooks that were specifically for "watercolor" or "animal drawings," but those sketchbooks hardly were used because I always felt the need to "keep on theme" and was afraid of ruining their aesthetics. (Which is funny because I constantly think about how my Instagram feed looks 😂)
Nowadays, I use my sketchbooks for anything and everything - notes, doodles, illustrations, watercolor, scribble tests. Knowing that it can be ugly takes removes the pressure of needing to make "pretty" things. And it works amazingly me for me because it keeps all of my work in one place and encourages me to just try stuff without fear of failure!
So here are some of my sketchbook scribbles in their raw forms. I love working this way because it helps me explore different ideas quickly. I actually used the little bird doodles to make this month's Patreon rewards which I will show you tomorrow! Get ready for some cute little Love(birds) 💕
