I'm procrastinating starting my new sketchbook by talking about my sketchbooks, since I just compiled the latest volume (see this post for info)

The sketchbook I'm procrastinating is #29!- I started numbering them the summer before university (2012), since that's when I got more serious about improving my art. I love getting to take photos of them all together, and honestly getting to pull out my monstrous sticker collection when I decorate a new one is my favourite thing. (I actually took a break from 2017-2020 where I did everything digitally so theres a gap, alas :')

I included a pic of sketchbook #1 for anyone interested in what my art was like in the early books, I would have been 18 then! (I'm 31 now). My tumblr archive does actually go all the way back to then... yikes. I did keep sketchbooks before then, but I had like 4 at once for different purposes (one was for...copying manga...)

A lot of the early sketchbooks I bound myself using old national geographic pics (#5+6), or old books who's insides I pulled out and replaced (#8+9). I also used my friends handmade sketchbooks -#3 and #22!

These days I do most of my stuff on the computer, so they're pretty heavy on studies and fun doodles as opposed to art that I share, but I still love to keep one. They act as little diaries to places I've been or what I was doing that day.

Currently my fav sketchbook is the daler rowney ebony- it takes most mediums pretty well, tho I took a risk for my new one and got a shockingly expensive pith sketchbook- which turns out is too big for my scanner...........BUT it's coptic bound (like my friends, nudge nudge haha) which means it'll lay flat and hopefully rub my pencil sketches less than a ringbound!

NOT TODAY SATAN

HEXES FOR EXES

SPOOKY SH*T

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: When the Redanian government decides to revive the ancient legal tradition of Correctional Marriage, Eskel is forced to take on his strangest Witcher contract yet: he must marry and "rehabilitate" a convicted smuggler who also happens to be a bard, a Viscount, and the longtime companion of Eskel’s best friend, Geralt of Rivia. Jaskier expected to waste away in a dark prison cell under the streets of his beloved Oxenfurt. Instead, he is given a simple but impossible choice: agree to marry a strange Witcher, or hang for his crimes. Jaskier soon finds himself handfasted to Eskel, a man he barely knows and cannot afford to trust. Bound together by fate, marriage, and a powerful spell known as the Ringbound Curse, Eskel and Jaskier’s destinies were linked long before their first meeting. Now they must learn how to work together, break the deadly curse, and find Geralt of Rivia before it’s too late.

Practice never stops ndat, but really feel like I found a motivation to step a thing up and show up again and more on my time thanks to my king, Little Simz.

Something synchronous and then silly serendipitous came about and there was the glowing arterial thread that is the soundtracking and energy sharing and guiding and validating Simz has given us. Personally long time grateful for Simz in ways I can’t get into here.

All that added together, I (finally) made a Little Simz fanzine - one in the works for tiiimeee - on the occasion of her 30th birthday. A perfect deadline.

Let me find the details and put it up here.

Journaling

I use #journaling as a personal practice, and have developed my own "prompts", which I'm sharing here for other folk who don't get on with the "What went well today?" (nothing), "What 3 things am I grateful for today?" (again, nothing) typical journal prompts. My journaling looks like this, with each section given 3-5mins of 'thinking time' before I start writing an answer. 1. What am I feeling? If you can't name your feelings, talk about physical signs you've observed. (Alexithymia is real, and valid.) 2. Why am I feeling this? No answer is "wrong" - not even "I don't know." Ideally, try to centre your respons/es on YOU, not other people - ie, "Because I find X to be inconsiderate", rather than "Because X is inconsiderate." 3. Are these feelings valid? Go with your gut on this one - if you look back at your answer, and think "I'm overreacting, actually", write "No - I may be overreacting to what's actually happening."

4. Are any of these feelings the result of triggers not connected to the immediate situation? Be honest - for example, one of my triggers is "women shouting", because that was a central part of serious physical violence in my past; therefore, I often have overreactive feelings to any situation where women are raising their voices, or reacting loudly to their own triggers. Again, it's fine if, after 5mins, you feel certain that they're NOT connected to other triggers, or if you're not sure - put those answers down. 5. What can I do to work on these triggers? This one may be difficult to answer right now, and that's okay. 6. What PRACTICAL steps can I take to improve this situation? Again, it's okay if, after 5mins, you don't know. Any sections that you have left blank, make a note to set aside an hour, within 3-7 days' time, to come back, and genuinely reconsider; note anything you might want to research, anyone you might need to speak with, etc. Sometimes, we don't actually have things we feel grateful for. "Being alive" isn't always the "blessing" it's presented as. Not everyone, even in a developed country, has "enough to meet their needs." Even in developed countries, people don't always have "clean drinking water" - and there's also a consideration that things like "access to fresh, affordable food", "clean drinking water", etc are NOT things ANYONE should be 'grateful' for - because that implies it's NORMAL for some people NOT to have those things, that they're "enhancements to life", rather than "the bare minimum expectation." Acknowledging challenges and difficulties moves us forward far more than "finding something to be grateful for" - the fact that you're alive doesn't help with the fact that you can't actually afford to be. The fact that YOU have your health doesn't help when you're watching a loved one die, or are struggling with the demands of kinship care. And it's okay to feel however you feel about those situations, or any others. You don't need an expensive "proper journal" for this - I use basic, £1, A5 ringbound notepads, and just write the prompt headings in myself.

First course: preserved meats and veg

Second course: the ravaged stocks, a ration

Third course: the livestock

Fourth course: the scraps

Dessert: 3 ringbound fingers, and a scattered mince of organ meats

But the whole thing is wonderfully colourful, and the biggest horrific indicator, past a short diary entry each opening, is the musical score backed by voices that dwindle

Cooking horror game where you play as a cook working in the galley of a ship in the 1800s. There’s some kind of supernatural nautical horror story going on in the background but you barely notice this because you spend all day cooking in the galley.

Examples of ISTD Projects

I decided to look at previous ISTD outcomes to get an idea of what they expect.

I loved this project and particularly their use of typography and how their visual language compliments the subject matter and research. In the background of the pages you can see a grid pattern which mimics what you see on the floor of a tennis pitch. Sections of type are connected with a bouncing tennis ball. The typography is emotive, when the copy is someone shouting it is large and slanted to emote this. From this project I can see that for ISTD your visual language and typography all has to clearly link to your subject matter. Every decision has a reason and helps build your narrative.

This project is about cosmetic surgery. I love where typography is cut/manipulated to look like it has undergone cosmetic surgery. I also love the front cover of the book where you can see part of it peeling off. This has shown to me that I can really experimental with the typography in the book - I can manipulate typefaces to give the type an added layer of meaning.

This project was creative with the print and form of the book. I love that they used cut out pages and tracing paper. Alongside considering the type in the book it is important to think about how you print and bind the book compliments your subject matter and helps build your narrative.

I love the form of this project. It being ringbound and having different page lengths makes it look both exciting and professional. Like the last project they used cut out and fold out pages which keep the reader engaged and add to their narrative.

can i ask, what sketchbook/pencils do you use for your sketches? i love how they look!!

thank you!!! i use a mechanical pencil and pretty much any kind of sketchbook i can find that’s roughly 8x6 inches and hardbound- i avoid the ringbound ones because i carry mine around in my bag everywhere and the pages were always falling or ripping out. i also sketch sometimes with ultra fine tip sharpies and black lining pens, but i usually just use the same trusty .7mm mechanical pencil, one of the clearpoint papermate ones with the twisty eraser

Hello again, today I’ll share with you my first set up for my clean and organized journey.

My first planner that I’ll be using is my pocket filofax, I’ll use it as an idea notebook to carry with me everywhere I go, so I can write down everything that pops into my head. This way I will not get stressed and my mind will be clear and focused. Since I have two pocket planners I can switch easily from one to another if I get bored or if I need something fresh to keep me motivated, but for now I’ll choose the Finsbury.

First of all, I made some dividers and laminated a journaling card to have a nice cover. Also I cut out a back cover so mi last pages won’t get damaged when closing my planner in a hurry (the most likely thing to happen if you’re writing on the go).

Next I just decided on my sections and added some filler paper, I figured since I will write only notes, I don’t need any special layouts or inserts. Well only on the last section which is my “to do section”. I also put two pocket cards from Heidi Swapp Memory Planners, just for decoration and a little kraft envelope that is the perfect size for my business card.

At the back I added two card holders, because when I go somewhere close by and I don’t need my purse, I just take this planner.
