I love this! I totally know what you mean about sketchbooks feeling like just another chore during uni, but now I wouldn’t be without them. I also love the #showyoursketchbook hashtag! I have used it myself but not known who created it. I’m now going to spend far too long scrolling through as I just clicked over to it and there is SO much good stuff 👌🏻✍🏻
I loved my Uni course, but the overwhelming was strong! Especially in that first term, the imposter syndrome was awful, but thankfully the lecturers persuaded me to stay, and I am so happy they did.
At the time, I definitely didn’t appreciate the use of sketchbooks, but having found my own way in my own time has really helped!
Now there is so many amazing things all to do with sketchbooks, which can be equally as overwhelming - especially if you don’t create that ‘perfect’ spread - it’s just about finding your own way.
I know! I really need to shout about it more!! Please share it far and wide, I’ve got an intro post over on my IG grid, but I’m just chuffed it has so many amazing things on there!
Yes I loved mine, but also in some ways wish I could go back and do it again with the knowledge I have now and really make the most of that time to play and experiment without letting the imposter syndrome take over 🙈
Yes there can be a lot of pressure to have “perfect” looking sketchbooks with all the comparison, but I love messy ones and ones full of experimentation too 🥰
Me too, but it wouldn't be the same experience. In the long run, as tricky as I found it initially, it made me braver in myself and in my work. I might not have got that if I hadn't felt that pressure.
Oh me too! Messy all the way! I think they show more and you can learn more from them

Lovely to peek into your sketchbooks Abby! What a great idea to have lots for different purposes, mine are a right jumble!
Thank you! I’ve got a deeper dive into each one coming, as I think a lot of people are intrigued and possibly baffled as to why I have so many!
That’s ok though if they’re a jumble. Whatever works for you! But if you wanted to buy a new sketchbook and make it to a specific thing…😉
