artist confession/unpopular opinion - i don& #39;t keep a sketch book. at all. i have no sketches. i know it& #39;s bad but i think insta/twitter with these videos of perfect sketchbooks where every page is a full illo has broken my brain to the point that i get frustrated with my -
- sketches because they look bad. and i know that& #39;s the point; you& #39;re supposed to have messy sketches and explore ideas. but my brain doesn& #39;t work like that. i basically think of an idea for long enough and then i make it fully. kind of makes me feel like a fraud cos everyones -
- always saying you should be messy and keep a sketchbook but it just doesn& #39;t work for me. anyone else feel like that?
to be clear i& #39;m not trying to attack anyone who does keep sketchbooks full of full illustrations and posts them online - they& #39;re awesome and i love them. just saying that i find it difficult to separate the two when it comes to my own work, you know?
Wow I& #39;m glad this resonated! Who knew being open about your insecurities could make you realise you& #39;re not so alone? Anyway follow me for non-sketch art, I also do comms - show proof you& #39;ve donated to BLM, covid or other charities and you can get digital art like in the last pic
In the interest of continuing this I& #39;ve filmed myself going through 2 sketchbooks to show what mine look like. I found #messyartmonday by @Pencils_Stories that shares this kind of thing, if you want you can also share by using #messysketchbook (no pressure though) vid part 1/3
