Goodbye my sketchbook, goodbye

I sent my sketchbook journal off on it’s way this Saturday. The moment was bittersweet for me.
As worried as I had been that it wouldn’t get finished in time, I was really happy about finishing it.
But it was finished, and so was the daily habit of drawing in it which I had grown to love.
That’s ok because I’ve decided to get a blank art journal as soon as I am able. I can’t wait.
Meanwhile I’ve been looking at other’s submissions,(Wow,really great stuff out there) something I wouldn’t let myself do before. And that was probably a good idea. I’ve had some ideas of what I’d change if I did this project again next year- but I didn’t want to be too influenced on this my first time. Here are a few of the last pages that I did, and my Youtube video.

Sketchbook Project 2011

This is the first time I’ve ever done the Sketchbook Project. I’m really excited about it.The theme I choose is “You’d be home by now”. If you notice the picture of the page with a child drawing on the wall, that was not planned. My daughter got a hold of my notebook and decided to add her contribution. It was lucky for me that I’m basing my sketchbook on ways that I view a home, because I was able to turn her picture into something that looked intentional.

I added some pages to my Sketchbook project notebook last night. I had drawn these before, but I actually colored them in last night. I may be stretching the “you’d be home by now” theme a little , but that’s allowed so I’m sure it will be ok. All the images relate to the theme in my head anyway. All of the girls faces are made from torn pages that flip into the next page. I may have to re-enforce them with clear tape for durability during the tour.
