Brand new sketchbook!!! Always a mixture of feelings. A majority of them really good, but there’s this apprehension about starting the first page that is …palpable.

I have several sketch-related posts because I’m doing it so often.
This post is to show all of the decals I put on my new larger sketchbook. The last one took more than two years to fill!
I will add sketches from that book to this post when I get home.
So many feelings when finishing one book and moving on to a new one.
Seen above is the A3 (sometimes an A4!) Art Collection hardbacked Moleskine sketchbook, which has firmer and more opaque blank paper.
I frequently integrate markers and pens atop my horribly-made sketches, just to add a bit more vision to all of the chaos.
Most of the time I sketch with a fairly large leadholder using a sort of spinning motion while drawing, to keep the lead tip not too dull.
I annotate each session with the date/time, place, and guests that are with me.
I’ll update this with supply links as I have the time.
I will also prepare to publish the small posts written about local coffee, locally roasted coffee, and more. Stay tuned.
Today’s music playlist added!
It’s been more than 30 days and I finally opened up my computer to see what’s on it at home. This page opened!
I’m going to make a new post with art supplies I enjoy. I think this post was originally about the event of starting a new sketchbook. We’ll leave it at that.
