I Heart Sketchbooks... 06/13/2010
![]() A selection of sketchy-ness from a recent sketchbook. Though animals are the more common inhabitants of my sketchbooks, occasionally people set up camp in there. I have always felt like I should be keeping some sort of written journal, however they never seemed to last beyond a day or two. I like the idea of keeping a record of my life as it trips along, so it took me a long time to accept the fact that I am just not the journaling kind. I am, in truth, the sketchbooking kind. I have filled many sketchbooks over the years, and always like to go back through them and see what I was observing or thinking about way back then. Sometimes I don't remember drawing certain images, other times images will bring me right back to a very particular day or event. I try not to be too precious with my sketchbooks, and will draw over old sketches, fill it up out of order, and go back and draw in any empty spaces. Not so good for chronology, but good for idea development... I heart my sketchbooks! Comments Comments are closed. | Kelly is:An illustrator and a puppetmaker. Her work therefore speaks to her.
