"don't let your sketchbook become precious."


life has been crazy these past few weeks.  my boyfriend has been the perfect little home-maker, cooking us dinner on an impossibly small budget.  he's out grocery shopping right now, so i figured i'd take the opportunity to do a quick blog before he comes home and we get back to the second season of sex and the city. ;)
a little over two months ago, i invested in a small black sketchbook for ideas on the go.  it's been suggested a thousand times over that keeping a daily sketchbook does wonders for improving creativity and getting artistic juices flowing.  personally, i started sketching to help relieve my insecurities about my artwork & get over my need for perfection in my pieces.  i sketch nowhere near daily, but it's nice to just doodle on paper sometimes and give life to some ideas.  here are a few of my pages:




share some sketchbook inspiration pls!

  6. one thing i always try to keep in mind when making any type of art.
    even doodlies, is that art doesnt have to be "perfect" and theyre arnt any rules!
