I Love My Pretty Sharable Art Journals, But I Also Love My Messy Sketchbooks, Too. I Use Both To Learn

I love my pretty sharable art journals, but I also love my messy sketchbooks, too. I use both to learn and experiment with.

i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.
