Hello friends!
As a freelance artist and Etsy seller, my personal sketchbook usually takes a backseat. Most of my best pieces are the ones I sell or paint as custom commissions. The rough sketches and pieces I’m least proud of are in a notepad dedicated to art planning.
My personal sketchbook falls somewhere in between. It’s full of failed experiments as well as successful new ideas, unexpected masterpieces plus some… interesting random doodles. It’s a place for play. But you know what? Whether art is your job or your hobby, “playing” is an important part of improving your skills while keeping it fresh and fun.
So today I want to show you all the sketchbook spreads I’ve completed this year – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Check out my art Instagram account @thecolorboxstudio and my Etsy shop for pieces I’m proud of, but I thought it might be interesting to share a “behind the scenes” view here. 🙂 Enjoy!
