Sketchbook-ing and perfectionism
For many years now, ever since I started my art journey, I’ve kept sketchbooks. Those sketchbooks were my mini canvasses when I just didn’t feel up to painting something large scale.
Sketchbook Practice
Even though last year I went on a months-long art break, I still managed to do a few illustrations here and there in order to maintain my sketchbook practice. These are mostly finished pieces based off Skillshare classes I took done on my Canson sketchbook.
A Subjective Review of All My Sketchbooks
My art journey has been marked by an ongoing sketchbook practice. In fact, I've painted on sketchbooks more than canvasses. Painting on canvasses (no matter the size) was a more formal affair and needed more mental prep. There was also certain amount of pressure and expectation for me to produce something good whenever I painted on a canvas.
