new sketchbook
Friday, April 28th, 2006
I sleep late late late. Finally awake, nap-stretch in my bed for over an hour, thinking lazy thoughts. Breakfast in bed, feels like a mini holiday.
Today I finally make a start on my new moleskine-sketchbook after not drawing for three weeks. (portfolio, applications totally wore me out.) Now lines feel unsure and clumsy, but drawing, I missed you!
There are things you need to do with new sketchbooks. First scrawl your name and address in case you lose it. Second, find some fun quote for the inside cover. Some drawings or stickers are a good thing too. Then wreck a couple of pages with really bad drawing. Weep the loss of the image of the perfect sketchbook. You know, the one only filled with awesome drawing.
And then: Get over it. Turn a page. Continue drawing.
P.S. I am so going to knit pirate mittens. I am thinking pink.
