For a long time, I have known I really should be spending more time in my sketchbooks, my use of them tends to be very erratic, I can spend many hours in them one week and then not open them for a couple of weeks, very naughty! 🙂
To remedy my lackadaisical attitude I signed up to the 2018 sketchbook challenge with Magenta Sky, although it started in January you can start it whenever you like, if you would like to play along, you can sign up to receive daily prompts here.
Here are the first few days of my challenge, I will continue to post them periodically on here but if you want to follow them in real time I will be posting daily on Instagram (Teriberrytextiles) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/teriberrytextiles/).
Day 1: Pattern
Day 2: Everyday object
Day 3: Leaves
Day 4: Circles
Day5: Straight lines and angles
Day 6: Fruit and Veg
Good for you, so tough to keep doing this. I have been following on Instagram and admiring the amount of time you have been spending 🙂
Thanks Ruth, and thank you for all the likes on Instagram too 🙂 You are so right, some days it is easy to find 30 min to doodle in my sketchbook, others it is a real struggle. I am hoping that doing this for a month will get me into a habit of using it more and there has already been a progression from the sketchbook into felt – today I have been creating some wall hangings from the black and white optical illusions from day 5.
You certainly have been busy and have created some beautiful sketches. Keep up the good work. I’m enjoying seeing them on FB.
Thank you for all the FB likes Marilyn, its always a relief to discover I am not just wittering away to myself 🙂
