HI FAB!

I made this little sketchbook and drawing on the 19th of Dec but didn't post it because i felt it was "meh!" But after being ON TIME with your newest class: "Everyone Can Draw Lunch - Learn to Draw and Paint Like Me While I Take You Out for Lunch" I'm posting this now. I'm reclaiming my art time... and I hope I can sustain it...

It's so hard to start again after a long hiatus from anything creative... But here we are, and what a KICKSTART!!!... i just put everything i love in a tiny space... Your dedication, passion and encouragement to teach holistically within CONTEXT, STORIES and lots of TIPS inspires creativity!

Thank you Fab!

Thank you Skillshare!

NO EFFORT SKETCH JOURNAL 7 x 7.5 (cm)

Hello Everyone! Hi Fab!

i combined "Everyone Can Draw Lunch - Learn to Draw and Paint Like Me While I Take You Out for Lunch" here again. Its a new page on an accordion journal i made from strips of watercolor paper.. the one above wasn't holding water well.. but i'll probably try to work on it too with drier materials.

i plan to use each letter of the word "APPRECIATE" (my topic!) to start the title for each page. i borrowed Fab's title from his demo for now as its so app: "A-New Start!"

Not sure if i shall post them one page at a time or as a spread.

More details can be seen if its one by one :D

Hmm... But the spread saves space too..

See how i over think things?

And .... yikes... Jack why didn't you remind me its not "B" but "P"?!?

We're not doing A-B-C... We're doing A-P-P-R-E-C-I-A-T-E... with each letter to start a title for each page... (sigh!)

And the date (ulp!)... oh well...

BUT..

i'll not let this get to me...

learned my lesson from last year...

hmmm... so maybe we'll just continue "appreciating" the slip as another way to move forward, that's what the topic is for after all :D

I can't stop... its supposed to be one 'No Effort' Page a day!

That big black circle was a mistake with lettering (again!) im glad i didn't give up... Letting the layers dry first is KEY... then you can put anything on top.

I learned to use rainbow colors from "Everyone Can Paint! 5 Watercolor Painting Ideas (that will go on your wall!)." Really love to apply it when I make cards for family and friends.

Tombow brushpens, white gelly pens, posca pens and fineliners...

I must say that having this little sketchbook keeps me motivated.

Because of my topic APPRECIATE and how sequentially prompted by the A-B-C letters to begin the titles, it doesn't take too long for me to think of what to draw. :D

I'll try to time myself up to 5 minutes per page or spread so its really no effort

its really enjoyable... making a topic really prevents overthinking!
