Despite there being a couple of spreads left in this sketchbook I’ve decided to retire it. It’s served me well and as I’m leaving for the holidays tomorrow, it feels like leaving it as is and beginning my next sketchbook in the new year just makes sense.

I’ve had many sketchbooks over the years and I’ve come to accept that they are finished when I decide. Weather I just don’t like the sketchbook or it just has too many pages like this one, forcing myself to finish a sketchbook will only create negative feelings towards my art and my sketchbooks. The sketchbook is amazing and I adore it, tho since I’m so used to sketching A5 moving on to a much bigger sketchbook made getting through it much more tiring. I find the size and shape more complementary to how I work so my next one is a similar size but with half the pages so hopefully I will be able to avoid the art drain.

Ran across an old sketch I did 😆 I remember being super proud of it, but looking at it now I just find it a bit creepy looking 😂 ~•~•~ #art #myart #oldart #sketch #sketchbook #oldsketchbook #pencil #portrait #artistsofinstagram (at Newport, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmyjJupuUG_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So, I was going through old sketch books and I found some of these.

Why did I draw so good, because I draw like shit now???

I think the originals are from Printerst.

Don't repost!

Wish you a great summer!

✨🐈 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕚𝕠 ℂ𝕒𝕥 🐈✨ My helpful little studio buddy sitting in my box of old sketchbooks. You know, I’m not quite sure that she knows that she’s not a sketchbook. She’s not exactly the brightest😂😂. ⁣ But looking at her sitting in this box actually got me thinking... there are some sketchbooks in here from as far back as 2011 I’m pretty sure. There are sketchbooks in here that have been to different countries with me and there are sketchbooks in here that stuck by my side during high school. I’m thinking it might be time soon to pull a few out and maybe do a #drawthisagain 🤔 ⁣ Maybe I’ll flick through and try and find the oldest drawing in there! Oooh. This could be fun! ⁣ Have any of my artist friends out there ever tried to redraw their oldest drawing? . . . . . #alaskathecat #drawthisagainchallenge #throwback #kitty #catsofinsta #tortoiseshell #sillybaby #gaybabyjail #naughtytortie #sketchbook #Artist #ThatArtistLife #MyCatIsTheSketchbook #SketchbookBox #OldSketchbooks #Highschoolsketches #ThisCanBeVeryBad #SendHelp #ICouldn’tDrawToSaveMyLife #ipreview via @preview.app https://www.instagram.com/p/CFiq4dzAMOW/?igshid=1fga877l01i4k

Sketchbook draw pt1

Sketchbook 1

June- July 2019

My first sketchbook, well the one I consider my first. I had many before this but this was the first that was truly my own. It wasn’t for school, college or university, and it wasn’t constantly being tampered with by my siblings.

Started in June of 2019 during my gap year a few months before I started university. I hadn’t drawn or created since I finished college but I had a major creative itch. I began my obsession with tattoos specifically American traditional tattoos and tarot and oracle cards. This was the true beginning for where my creative practice began and presents the roots for the work I create today. It may be my worst sketchbook but it’s also the most nostalgic.
