Hi my loves. Welcome back to my sketchbook. Still just trying to keep up that regular drawing
habit, seeing what I can do in my sketchbook with an hour or less. And this week, I've
spent way more than an hour a day in my sketchbook. TOO much time in my sketchbook. Because, I'm
currently in the the throes of yet another self-initiated art-challenge. I'm aiming to
fill all my unfinished sketchbooks by the end of the year. That's 222 blank pages. And
for this first week in the challenge, I decided to get started by going through the 30 Ways
to Fill a Sketchbook series that I started around this time three years ago- can you
believe that?! Anyway. I've been filming that, and I hope to be able to edit it and get it
up in the next few days for you all. It's been such a tough task that I set myself,
it's taken up all my time. But anyway, you'll get to hear about that in the '30 Ways to
Fill a Sketchbook in a Week' video. So I won't spoil it! This was my entry for the landscape
painting practice prompt. And was actually one of the most enjoyable pages throughout
the week. This has been a great challenge for reminding myself of things I enjoy painting
and random stuff that I'd neglected like cutting and sticking and journalling. I'm really hoping
this and the challenge of filling all my unfinished sketchbooks, will lead me into the new year
with a better sense of what I want to be doing with my art. But if not, it's genuinely just
a great way for me to make stuff. Just stuff. Just fill pages and have fun and make a mess-
a lot of it has been a mess. So hopefully the 'Filling my Unfinished Sketchbooks' video
will be done by the end of the year, let me know if you're looking forward to seeing that.
And I'd love to know if you have many blank pages just waiting to be filled. And other
than that, I wanted to keep my voice-over short today and just let you enjoy the video.
I need to go and catch up on all the life stuff that I set aside while I spent all day
everyday this week trying to fill up this sketchbook. So thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for joining me for this sketchbook session, I hope you feel inspired to do a
little something creative today as well. And I'll see you next week for the next one. Bye!
