What's INSIDE, what you make, your studies, your imagination, your failures, your enjoyment-THOSE are precious and special, and they deserve to be created. Sketchbooks don't have to be precious and special because the outer appearance is pretty. For me, I realized that I would never experience that special moment that would make it worthwhile to use them, and instead, decided to use them, and purposely draw what wasn't my best work, to help get myself over this mindset. What did I gain by storing these empty sketchbooks around my house for years? I told myself that I was waiting until I was better at drawing, or until I had something special and good to draw, but that time was never coming. Like with time and money, even if it's not your own money, are still being used with an unused sketchbook. Such precious and gorgeous looking sketchbooks, often gifted to me by friends or family, how can I draw such things in them and ruin their prettiness? Pretty/Special Sketchbooks: Ya'll know what I'm talking about, you know the ones! I've had this for a LONG time too. Time: As the saying goes, time is money, and wasting that is an invisible, and arguably more costly, expense to you! Time in which you could've spent practicing, improving, and having fun is lost if it's never used! Just think about how much time you have in your life before it's over, a bit gruesome, but also telling that it's very precious! If you spend it worrying about ruining a sketchbook instead of using that sketchbook, is that worth it for you? With or without coupons, those prices can add up, and if you're not using them, that's just money flying out the window! Money: Sketchbooks aren't always free, and if you're anything like me, seeing those empty pages in a store fills you with that drive that you gotta just buy up a whole bunch more, even though you have a stack already back home. Let's start with the practical reasons, since for some of you, that may be enough to get the juices flowing and pages going: In line with New Year's resolutions and a fresh start, let's tackle a common problem I've seen, and experienced, amongst us artists-starting, and ultimately finishing, a sketchbook.
