hot and cold



One more sketch for the “opposites” theme over at Sketchbook Challenge. It’s been a fun theme. Can’t wait to see what they are cooking up for next month.

I read in Kelli’s post about having different sketchbooks for different things. I generally have at least three sketchbooks going at the same time. Does anyone else do this, too?

I always have one that is just for rough ideas or notes. It’s a big, fat, el cheapo drawing pad that I fill up with pencil sketches. It also tends to get filled with To Do lists and phone numbers and web addresses in the margins. Oh, well.

From this rough sketchbook, I pick and choose which drawings to take to the next level. Some will turn into larger paintings or more refined drawings.

I’ve been using loose papers that I cut to 5x7 for the Sketchbook Challenge. I use watercolor paper that I bound into books (one for each month) for my Sketch Diary.

Plus I have one that I take when I travel. So I guess I’m either very organized or really anal … depending on your view!!
