These are great! In 2020, I went all in on writing long hand and letting my mistake-ridden drawings live their free lives out in the world. I even did the inks for my upcoming graphic novels with a dip pen!
Thank you so much for the peek into your sketchbooks, James! Love this post. Also, the "I'm not dead" speech bubble coming from the flat chipmunk made me laugh. :-D
I do the same thing, James. I LOVE sketchbooks. About a hundred years ago now I had an everyday sketchbook habit and filled about 10 books in a year. I gathered all of my favorite sketches and self published a book of them, which was funded on Kickstarter. I miss that, but I'm not sure why I can't find time to do it anymore. (Though I guess back then I didn't have many projects, either.) Where's the happy medium!!?
DON'T share on instagram!? But it will be like it never happened! No, I kid. I am super guilty of feeding the insta machine. Thank you for the reminder to keep some things special for me :)
