So, my first sketchbook. Finally. It's not something extraordinary. But I'll get there one day. A book full of concrete art. I bought this book at Paperclip. What I like about the paper is it has texture. Not smooth like the one we use for writing a note. The paper is thick but somehow you can see whatever you draw on the next page.
But now, into the sketchbook.
Okay, it all started in August 2020. I forced myself to draw every day. And with great effort, I did it... Okay, I skip a day or two, but so far, I am proud of myself to draw at least half of the sketchbook in two weeks. It starts with a doddle.
So I bought this book called Craft a Doodle by Jenny Doh. It's a collection of 75 creative exercises from 18 artists.
I haven't gone through all of them. But I'm warming up my creativity and confidence from there. It went nice and smooth because there is less pressure from doodling. These are doodling practice I did and using the book as a reference.

See the cat on the next page? Yeah.. this is what I don’t like about the paper.

With a little confidence grew along the way, I search for something more challenging. Like a whale and a phoenix. The phoenix was more of a disappointment. It didn’t go the way I want it. But the whale was pretty and it looks like a whale right? My mom thought it was a frog. It was quite a shock. I mean, since when a frog has fin?
And from here, I get it. Keeps on practicing.
Like.
Everyday.
With Lots of love
