About me:

I've started creating again after autistic burnout & Long Covid poked my childhood arthritis, which flared up in my hands (again)

I'm working towards doing a multimedia project on transformation in Cheshire & Scottish mythology

Used to be a sculptor & will be adding that at some point

Using pastel pencils on top of my watery gouache layers has lead to pages smudging into each other

So I have started adding tracing paper squares between sketches to stop the transference

The sound they make when turning pages now is divine!

Why do you think? How do you alter your sketchbooks?
