Brand new sketchbook!!! Always a mixture of feelings.

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.
—————
This 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 the horribly made sketches to add a bit more vision to the chaos.
I usually sketch with a marginally large leadholder using a sort of spinning motiokn to keep the tip semi wellformed.
each session is annotated with time, place, and guests 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.
