Please do…My neighbor has a Bombay named Slinky and an American Shorthair named Davey. They love me. Cats are special! I’m not sure if Hank is a Bombay. He is cute!👏
I too have noticed that taking some sketchbook time lately has been really helpful. I think we all need an excuse for imperfection and exploration. I’ve been slowly beefing up the holiday sketchbook I started in May - I didn’t have time to do it justice while ON holiday, so I’ve been adding to the live sketches I did, pretending for 30 minutes every day that I’m still on holiday, and not worrying about being perfect. It’s been really good for me, mentally. But would I class it as a summer sketchbook (it’s about Singapore, where it’s hot) or not (because it’s winter here, and cold) 😅
Someone else mentioned it was winter for them too and I feel like an idiot, ha! Of course it’s not summer for everyone! I’m so glad you’re getting joy from spending a bit of time in your sketchbook as well Alison, I’m surprised as how much I’m enjoying it. It sounds so simple, but I just never prioritised it before and so didn’t realise how much it helps x
great idea! hope I can join in. needing some focus and an outlet as my MH is having another flare. i love the idea of filling a sketchbook til sept. yay for the fun of sketching and colouring and all the good stuff!
Yay, thanks for introducing Hank!!!♥️
Maybe I’ll introduce Martha May next time…!

I think we are too indoctrinated in the productivity at all times mindset to think it’s okay to just mess about in a sketchbook with no goal 😬

I’m really sorry to hear that! Spending time in my sketchbook has definitely helped me in that area - I hope it does the same for you.
Hi Becka,
We're in winter down here in Aus. I'm definitely trying to sketchbook daily, so I'm going to do that with your summer project in mind.
Thank you for making your content free! Very generous and kind x
Hello! Ahh, I didn’t think about that… a winter sketchbook sounds just as fun, I hope it brings you tonnes of joy! x
Yaaay I’d love to join and work on my summer sketchbook too 🩷
🥳🥳🥳
i’ve loved seeing your sketches on insta lately! and I definitely needed a push to work on sketchbook consistency, this is a great idea ✨
Thank you so much! I hope you’re able to join in, or that it helps you to spend more time in your sketchbooks 🙌
i hope to start filling up my sketchbook! 💪
