keep a sketchbook

Bought a sketchbook today… and some cool pens!

(hawthorne heights)

i started keeping a sketchbook this january 1st. so far so good but it’s only a week from the beginning of the year.

i hope i keep this up and fill it up.

other than that im very sad and want to cry but i dont want to cry over him because he is a jerk but i really like him i just dont like being with him.

im too cool for commas. nah i just dont care about them right now.

So, this year, I took an art class, half out of interest, and half out of not wanting to take a yearbook class. So far, the first semester is over, and I really like it. Unfortunately, the sketchbook we use in that class has been neglected lately, so I want to get another one for my personal use.

It will hone my art skills, help my observe things better, and just maybe, keep me from craving Krispy Kreme donuts.

Now, I need to buy a nice, small sketchbook…

I try to draw every day and most of the time I do. It’s not a matter of forgetting to draw, I just never find myself drawing in a sketchbook. Post it notes, scrap paper, napkins – yes. Sketchbooks – hardly ever. There’s something a little daunting about a new bound sketchbook with fresh, crisp white sheets. I’ve decided to keep a loose leaf sketchbook and worry about the binding later. I just need a small folio to keep it all together and I’m set.

After a year of having this on my list (and neglecting it for a year), I’ve graduated school and have more time on my hands. I don’t have a job yet (look at: my 1st thing) so I’ve decided to go buy a sketchbook tomorrow and start sketching!

I went to a local museum and drew for a while which was very nice as its not my main creative outlet and so I didn’t feel any pressure and just enjoyed it.

Funny thing!!! I am not drawing every single time I can, but whenever I draw, I certainly keep it in a place to remember. After a long time this scketch book seems extremely valuable!!!

I actually have a sketch book and i love it…i love to draw and have something to put all my finished sketches in it’s a great thing to have and i highly recommend getting one if you love to be creative…i draw eveything in it…i can’t wait to fill it all up…then start another one…i love it!

Not only did I dig out my dear moley, I made my first spread in it too! I’m not brave enough to post it here but I’m very satisfied with this small start.

this sketchbook has yet to have ONE page filled out. In fact, where is the darn thing?
