I do this tooβ€”I cover drawings (I’m not warm to) with them too. I take a tiny journal with me to every exhibit. I draw the people looking at the art or exhibit.

Wow! I love these ideas, and they’re very approachable.

I think the most important thingβ€”for me since I’ve been journaling and sketch-booking since 1989–was, and still is, to keep going.

I don’t know any other reality. Yesterday, I whipped out only one plastic tubβ€”not archivalβ€”of sketchbooks for therapy.

It was incredible to see my progression. This morning I shared an excerpt from a 2002 journal. And, yes, I’ve given them titles since I got tired of numbering them.

This is what I shared this morning on my sketchbook/journaling journey:
