Taking a pen between my fingers and creating small and simple drawings while listening to good music has always been relaxing to me. During this short time of concentrating on nothing else but the lines on the paper in front of me I forget the stress around me and let my thoughts flow freely.
Because I don't make enough time to follow my passion (and waste way too much time on looking at memes on Instagram haha) I decided to draw in my sketchbook more often.

I don't draw in directly in my sketchbook. I like to draw on a piece of paper and if I like the work, I'll glue it on a page. That way I only keep the nice drawings and I think it looks cool. Sometimes I write tips, proportions and techniques I used next to the drawing because my brain doesn't work and I forget stuff.
I also use the sketchbook to see my progress in drawing. I started to use it in 2015... I think.

So here are some of my favourite pages!




The first drawing I put in my sketchbook. It may look familiar to you because my blog logo's inspired by that drawing.





The top eye I drew in 2015 (I used a photo of an eye as model and drew it) and the lowest in 2016 (I drew it out of my head) ... I think I made progress? Oh and excuse the lips... I've drawn better.




I don't know if you can tell but I freakin' love drawing eyes. My goal is to draw one so realistic people will freak out.




Here's a handsome green guy and another unfinished drawing that adds to the tiny pile of unfinished drawings. And by tiny I actually meant freaking huge.




And the latest page is filled with tumblr looking girls. Here I also used photos as "models". And oh wow, another unfinished drawing, what a surprise!



I hope you have a nice day!

  1. Lovely sketches! Is your sketchbook a moleskin? I'm addicted to drawing in my sketchbook haha, I'm usually carrying it everywhere. So fun to see other artists who also use their sketchbooks in creative ways!

    1. Yes, it's a moleskin. I've gone through your sketchbook posts and I think your sketches are lovely too! You're right, it's so interesting to see what people can do with a sketchbook.

    2. Aw, thank you so much. I love that we can share our sketches with each other and other artists through blogs, it's really such a neat way to share inspiration and styles.
