Sketchbook 15 | October | Page 1-2
I've finally finished my latest sketchbook, taking me 5 months. I consider 3 months a good "creative" timeline, so when a book takes me longer I know I'm not feeling very creative. Like most everyone, I struggle to understand bad trends and habits on a daily basis, or negative feelings that pile up. It's times like the end of a sketchbook when I can see how long it took me and I know "Wow, I really was struggling this time".
On the other hand, I look at my stack of books and the dates and it is a newer phenomenon that I take only a handful of months to complete them. My earlier sketchbooks took a whole year to fill up. So I suppose giving myself a break is an ok idea.
