Sketchbook Therapy

As I spend more and more time alone, I find my mind wandering into spaces I don’t often spend my time. I’ve found some things in my life to be more vital than every before like learning how to do things unprompted, being even more attentive to the world around me and how I fit into and complete the idea of that space. It’s a whole lot of trial and error but I think it’s pushing me in the right places.

This along with new moon is a great refresh and allows for building new habits and practices. I joined a casual group of artist from a range of spectrums trying to improve their craft so I will include some of that here including sketches and bits and bobs from my new Rendr Sketchbook. It’s rare that I cover my sketchbook in more than stickers of other artists I enjoy like Minnie Smalls, Rixy, or causes and conventions so it was fun to add a really personal touch to this book. I want some lovely pages out of this book but I won’t be surprised if I end up with a ton of misc. drawing and notes on ideas for things for the future. A girl can dream but of course that’s why I’m here.

Here are the final results of my sketchbook:

The first drawing in a sketchbook is usually the scariest since it sets the standard of what is to come. This time, it came like a sweet warm breeze working its way over open waters. I’ve been itching for a new sketchbook and to go back to some mediums I’ve neglected like my Copic markers and ink. I hope that this gives a sense of the aura I want my work to exude moving forward.

Wishing you peace and abundance, ‘till next time,

Erica
