My Sketchbook Journey Summer 2024
I am hitting some walls. I am repeating some bad habits. I am going to share all about it and walk through my sketchbooks and what exercises have been helping. Anybody else hitting some creative block? I KEEP GETTING IN MY OWN WAY!!!! I had to text my good friend Hannah today and told her I couldn’t have lunch with her next week. All I can think is what a weirdo I am and how grateful I am for friends like Hannah who I can be honest with and when I freak out they know it’s going to be ok.
