Hey hope all is well! I just bought your sketchbook and I was wondering what size it is and what are some of the pens/tools you use in it? Its really awesome to see your process, thanks for making it available!!

toiek:

the sketchbook i used personally this sketchbook is ok for dry media, but it smears a lot, i wouldn’t recommend it for pen drawing at all because of how much it bleeds. but i’ve learned to work around that. I used this sketchbook for both this years, and last years book, and i only like it because its the perfect size, i like books rather than wirebound because they break too easily.

I’m looking for an alternative mixed media sketchbook so i can make more clean drawings. after a year of carrying it around with me in bags and stuff the spine is breaking as well. i’m rough with my stuff though.

my personal fav pens, inc rollerballs ((if youre lucky u can find them at the dollar tree for way cheap ))

sakura brush pens

microns

white gel pen

blue draft pencil

highlighters and random pens !

Modernist manuals of writing often conflate story with conflict. This reductionism reflects a culture that inflates aggression and competition while cultivating ignorance of other behavioral options. No narrative of any complexity can be built on or reduced to a single element. Conflict is one kind of behavior. There are others, equally important in any human life, such as relating, finding, losing, bearing, discovering, parting, changing.

Change is the universal aspect of all these sources of story. Story is something moving, something happening, something or somebody changing.

These bother me sometimes.

We all start as literal useless babies. No one gets a magic ticket that makes them better at anything. If someone says they “never practice” it’s probably because they like doing the skill and see it as a fun use of their time instead of “practice”.

Process of my latest app drawing// ! I always like to sketch/paint on one layer, line art isn’t really something I tend to do. This year I wanna improve my painting bc I don’t do very much of it and I’ve got a ksm fanbook to make hahaha (the best type of motivation).
