I always wanted to be a “sketchbook person” (who in my mind were the ones who create small paintings from imagination or brainstorm projects in their sketchbook). But I realized I was a sketchbook person in a different way - I’m the one who brings a sketchbook and markers EVERYWHERE and draws my friends or my surroundings on a vacation. I’m working on becoming the first type this year just to have more creative ideas to reference later on, but it was also nice to realize I was just a different type of sketchbook person before :)

I too feel this disconnect between school: where I finaly figured out how to make work for myself that also served itself within school and real life: where I'm hyper aware someone else is looking at it and forgetting the type of work I want to make/fully enjoy sometimes 🥲

No literally what we have to do is make a fake course 'Spring 23: Sketchbook ILD 666" and all of us show up with our sketchbooks once a week like a little support group

I feel seen. Always wanted to be a sketchbook person but alas I am one for a million scraps of random bits of paper and watercolor blocks. Loved this draft!
