Summary: This is my THIRD everyday practice sketchbook. Come check out how it’s going!

Jump To

Title

To practice, sketch, and experiment. I will include either realism or abstract work.

Finish! Please finish. There’s less pages, hopefully I can actually complete this sketchbook.
Use a wide ranges of mediums. Experimenting means using up art supplies. But that being said…
Get better at alcohol markers specifically. This book is designed for alcohol markers, so why not use them?

Focus on practice. While the goal isn’t finished pieces, I can do finished pieces in it.
Sketchbooks can be used for notes. I think taking notes on my art will really help improve it. Why note do it directly in my sketchbook?

Planning Notes

06/09/26 - Since deciding to switch to the Canson Graduate line, I chose the Canson Graduate Manga Sketchbook. The paper is the same GSM as the mixed media version but seems to be thinner.

Progress Notes

06/13/26 - I drew a dragon head as the first thing in the sketchbook but the thin mechanical pencil kept scraping up the paper. Turned me off the sketchbook a little.
06/17/26 - I keep scowling at the sketchbook and not using it but I am determined to finish it. I decided to paint it with acrylic marker. I’m surprised by how well it’s staying on and it made the sketchbook look AMAZING. Now I smile at it when I look at it and have been using it more.
