messy sketchbook drawings ♡ (Patreon)

hello⭑.ᐟ

thanks to your well wishes, I've been gradually recovering after my trip and feeling a lot better! jetlag + illness is one of the nastier physical ailment combos I've experienced in this lifetime and I'm grateful to be on the other side of that chaos. (￣ω￣;)

I've been gravitating toward my sketchbook lately, because it's a place where I feel comfortable getting messy, scribbling with different tools, and experimenting with new ideas. I can tell when I'm feeling overly precious and careful with my process and in those moments I'll turn to my sketchbook to remember how to let go and loosen up. I like that there's no undo button. whatever you put down is there, so it becomes a question of how to work with what you have and improvise. the limitations encourage me to come up with creative solutions and experiment in ways I wouldn't normally think of. it's an opening into new approaches, wading through stagnant waters and emerging into a rushing current. ✶

thanks for reading, I hope you have a good day!
