Also, anyone else out there not much of sketchbook user?😬

current me! i used to go thru 2-3/year, but i just realized my current one has unfinished inktobers from 2020 in it. :-/

I feel like my sketchbookiness comes in waves. And I’ve learned to just ride em.

annaraff.bsky.social•27 days ago

Sounds like me! There's so much pressure to be an amazing sketchbook keeper. I mean, I aspire to be one...but it doesn't suit my process.

elizabethbaddeley.bsky.social•27 days ago

For me, the sketchbook is its own thing. My actual book process is scattered about on zillions of crappy copy paper sheets…that eventually get recycled.

mollybrooks.bsky.social•27 days ago

yeah, i’ve really stopped using my sketchbook as a step in the project process.

annaraff.bsky.social•27 days ago

See, but that's why it's so crippling for me!😅

No shame in not having one! I think my sketchbook practice arose out of some dissatisfaction with my book art. I’m loving what I’m working on now, thus, less sketchbooking. 🤷‍♀️
