Sketchbook Update

Below are some things that have appeared in my sketchbooks recently. I’ve been setting a timer for myself when sketching and so far this has been really successful with keeping me on task. I keep sketchbooks mainly to practice drawing and to make thumbnail sketches. I’m rarely inspired to do art journal spreads like some people. Even so, I have really enjoyed reading Cathy Johnson’s new group blog Artists’ Journal Workshop, which she created to expand upon and promote her forthcoming book.
