My sketchbook is a great place to find and develop new habits. It is a safe place to experiment. Hopefully I don’t bring in a lot of judgment and expectations to the process.
I find a lot of inspiration on Pinterest. I’ll often take an image and use different materials to make it my own.
My favorite materials these days are simple, crayons, and water colors. I like how the crayon resist produces a sketchy mark.
I use lines in squares and circles to mark up and start a page. I often work back-and-forth and do not complete one page or spread at a time.
My sketchbook can be a place to release and discover emotions and feelings.
Often I will glue in words or feelings, in the form of a collage or mandela. This is one of the habits that I offer in the class Creating Habits. It is 27 short videos with 20 new habits. Check out the details on the workshop page.
