It made me
satisfied 
How I did it: I bought an A4 ring-bound, black covered sketchbook from an art store so I'd have decent paper to sketch on. And a set of 12 Derwent pencils.
Then I just drew whatever caught my fancy. This included stuff out of my head, drawing from references, trying to emulate another artists sketch that I really liked or drawing the stuffed animals at the museum.
That last one is quite challenging because people seem to assume that if you're sketching in public, you won't mind if they leer over your shoulder while you're trying to work. If you try this (which I do recommend) be prepared to have a perpetual gaggle of people hanging around you, especially but not limited to kids, frequently breaking your concentration with, "You draw nice" or "That one's arm is too short!" :)

Cora_and_ClariceI finished
with a sketch of a mad hatter rag doll. It’s really nice to look back through all those sketches and see how I’ve progressed. 16 months ago

Cora_and_ClariceToday I just doodled
because I felt like it. It’s very unusual for me to feel like doodling. I like solid references to work from. On some level I know this is a lack of confidence or trust, either in myself or in the process. So today I took advantage of the rare mood and let my pencil go wherever it felt like.
I ended up with 3 interesting character sketches, 2 of which I feel a real fondness for. They’re somehow familiar to me. One of these days I’m going to look back at them and suddenly realise what recess of my memories and experiences they were drawn from. Art is a funny business. 16 months ago
Cora_and_ClariceToday's subject was fun -
Reynard the Fox. Life does not get better :)
I am thinking of returning to beetles tomorrow. Can’t let them have the last word.
Only 3 more sketches ‘til my first sketchbook is full! 16 months ago
Cora_and_ClariceToday's sketch did not go well.
I have discovered I am much better with drapery and fur than with beetle carapaces.
Oh well.
Only 4 more sketches until I have filled my first sketchbook! :D 16 months ago
