Hey y’all!

Welcome to the second half of my sketchbook! Despite the fact that it took me about 1.5 years to finish this one — this feels like a huge accomplishment! Of course, there is absolutely no need to rush things like this. The only pressure I face is an embarrassing amount of empty sketchbooks that need filling.

My process hasn’t really evolved since the first installment. I am still working on whatever I feel like! There’s no pressure for me to make letters, draw anything difficult, or challenge myself in any way. I do occasionally try to draw people or scenery because I find realism difficult and would love to get better at it. My only rule is that I don’t spend more than 30 minutes in my sketchbook. I could draw for hours if I get into it!

I love color, collage, paint, ink, markers, crayons, oil pastels, stamps, and fancy pens. I struggle with colored pencil, watercolor/gouache, and being precise in any way.

Most of my supplies come from local art stores or are thrifted/second hand. There’s an art thrift store one town over and it’s such a gem! They always have the most random assortment of paper, stamps, old magazines, and art books. It has definitely given me new ideas and fun things to play with!

Alright, I will stop yapping now!! Here it is! And remember, don’t tell me if you don’t like it!!

Sketch ya l8r!
