i found that this one was motivating. i used to trundle about everywbere witb my sketchbook. i used to keep a pocket sketchbook with me. nowadays the sketchbook has been languishing and i have been neglecting it.
when i read this i considered my plans for the day and thought, huh. i used to do these things all the time and i loved seeing it in my sketchbook. so i brought my sketchbook with me to the library and did some doodling and planning. it felt like getting reacquainted. this one was a great reminder that a sketchbook doesn’t need to be beautiful.
