April // Sketchbook Sneak-Peek ❊
Added 2020-04-29 03:03:00 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I hope you've all been doing well this past month. Spring has already come and gone here in Los Angeles. Since the pleasant weather and blooming flowers don't tend to last very long, I look forward to making the most of Spring every year. That's when I can enjoy all of the LA botanical gardens and outdoor cafes to their fullest.
This month's Patreon theme is based on my feelings of missing being outside and experiencing nature. I wanted to include some sneak-peeks of my sketchbook, including the initial sketch of this month's project. They include some notes about what I'm currently studying, future projects, and random doodles.
My sketchbooks are a bit all over the place. Currently I alternate between two for no particular reason other than convenience. (I am using: New Soho series SKETCH/ Speedball Art Flexi-sketch ). There's nothing really special about the sketchbooks themselves, but they have certain features that I like, such as:
- Mid range price point ($9-15)
- Around 9" x 6" inch
- Opens flat with A LOT of pages
- Multi-media
I've always had issues in how to use sketchbooks, especially during college. Much later on, I found out that I like to write in them a lot and I don't like worrying about anything like proportions or 'perfection'. It's my worry-free place that I can dump my ideas in and maybe discover something I want to create a bigger project with. Maybe someday soon I can create a PDF or zine from parts of my sketchbook!

Thank you so much! I'll definitely post more sketchbook scans on Patreon! I wasn't sure if mine are considered too messy or not interesting enough for people to look at ; o;
2020-04-30 22:58:21 +0000 UTCThank you!! I would probably consider it if there's a sufficient demand for it since they're so tedious to put together! (I watch my partner make them and it seems like a pain in the butt for me haha)
