My mom got Doggy when she was 16, and when she had me I basically stole him. He’s been my constant companion ever since, even into adulthood. (Hey, after 30+ years he makes a perfectly formed neck pillow!)

Oh…I guess I HAVE improved🫣

Or maybe I just can’t do detailed pieces. It feels so flat and I’m feeling kind of defeated.

If we’re being honest…now that I’m adding color I kind of hate this. I’ve been drawing for over a year and I feel like this looks the same as something I did almost a year ago.

Maybe it’s the color choice? I don’t have a huge selection of greens & browns to choose from.

This is also my first time trying the grid method, and it definitelyyyyy makes it more approachable🙏🏻

I like being able to finish a piece in 1 day, so this is a labor of love. If I try to force it in a day, I’ll hate it. I’m practicing patience and walking away when I start to get frustrated or bored.

So far: 2 hours over 2 days. Probably have another hour or so left before I can start with color

I love my ArtCreations sketchbooks, but I still have this old cheapTemu sketchbook that I used before getting my first ArtCreations. It’s about 1/2 full.

Would you just suck it up and fill up the cheaper sketchbook first? Or get another one of the type you actually really like?
