In My Sketchbook: Drawing Succulents With Markers

Dear Readers, I think the time has finally arrived, not only to start being consistent with the creative practice of keeping a sketchbook, but also sharing some of the results with you! Truthfully all the illustrators that I admire keep really great sketchbooks, so I realize that there must be something to it! I started this sketchbook this summer, and at first was even afraid to do anything in the sketchbook for fear of wasting pages, but I tried very hard to get over that and realized that I wasn’t going for perfection just starting the journey, yippee! And, I have two very lovely empty sketchbooks that I’m afraid to start, but at this moment I also realize how very silly that is, so I’m going to start those, since the paper is nice and thick and perfect for painting in the next few days, promise! In the mean time, here’s a little peek at some very simple pen and marker drawings I did using one of my pots of succulents at the model. No pencil drawing first, just go for it!
