Recently I purchased a sketchbook because I realised I don’t create enough art to just practice or draw for the sake of it – I’m always so focused on creating a final piece.
This spread in my sketchbook in particular brings me so much joy whenever I look at it. It’s based off of photos of friendly encounters with various animals I had in my phone. I get so genuinely happy when an animal greets me, and I wanted to spend time capturing that. (The stickers decorating the spread are of two of my finished pieces and can be bought on my Redbubble).
It’s been really nice creating for the sake of my own happiness or gaining practice, rather than focusing on selling a piece.
