I bought a much better sketchbook a couple of months ago. It is great! It's nothing like the crappy one I bought from the community college. Here are most of what I have in there now. These are from May and June. I'm trying out the white gel pen for highlights. I think I might have gone overboard with it already, but I'm still trying it out. I got the idea for the different sketchbook and the gel pen from Kevin Keele's blog. He is an amazing artist! His drawing skill level is far beyond mine and his sketching style is very inspiring to me, as you can see here.
Since this is a new sketchbook I wanted to have some specific goals with it. Some of the goals are:
- No floating heads
- No incomplete drawings
- Commit to one drawing at a time
- Date the drawing when finished
- A lot more figure drawing from life
