EPISODE 118

What if my best work gets stuck here? What if I mess up a spread and ruin the whole journal? Why can’t I stick with a theme? It’s taken me eight years to move past these fears and cultivate a sketchbook practice that not only makes me happy but is also beneficial for my art.

This is such a big topic that Richie and I have decided to devote two episodes to it. In today’s episode, I am talking about how I overcame my sketchbook anxiety, and next week we’ll dive into the practical stuff, including supplies and how to deal with warping, pages sticking together, and other sketchbook challenges.

We hope you enjoy the episode, and don’t forget to pop your name on my newsletter list if you want to hear about new classes and free resources.
