Let's take a moment to talk about sketchbooks.

We see people share about them ALL the time on social media and truthfully, I'm intimidated. They always seem to look like beautiful, finishes pieces of work...

A majority of my sketchbook is filled will color tests and pen taps from trying to get the ink back in my pen, ha!

Now I don't really care what other people think about my sketchbook because it's a place for me.

To play.

To explore.

To fix.

To test.

And basically do whatever the heck my little heart desires.

It keeps my hands busy and let's me get a break from the screen.

I urge you to take ONE minute a day this week to tap your pen or pencil around and see where it takes you.

Give yourself the credit for that one minute and maybe it will turn into two the next day.
