IS DEDICATED TO SHOWCASE THE WORK OF THE INGENIOUS ARTIST
To me, having a culture of creativity in my life is incredibly important. When you're reading this, I'm not asking anyone to be excellent at art or to appreciate and enjoy every single piece of work that you see. I'm asking us all to think about how being creative can help us. Incorporating a daily practice of creativity is incredibly beneficial. Indulging in a creative headspace has allowed me to grow and mature into the person that I genuinely want to become. I understand that this may be incredibly cliche or cheesy, but let me assure you that there is a reason it's a cliche: because it's true.
There's a reason why so many people across the globe use creativity as their vice in their lives. I urge us all to reflect on our own lives. Many may believe that they don't have a creative gift, and sure, drawing a face or an apple may not be your thing, but every human being is connected through our innate ability to feel deeply. This is directly tied to every person's unique ability to process their emotions. Throughout history, art has helped us express this. Humans need creativity to survive.
Art is what has kept us going through the world's darkest times. This is why I urge us all to instill a culture of creativity. It doesn't have to be you creating, or maybe it is, but involving yourself in a creative culture allows for the growth of excellent connections one could have never imagined.

SKETCHBOOKING IS MY DAILY CREATIVE PRACTICE OF CHOICE. I USE EACH SKETCHBOOK SPREAD FOR PERSONAL GROWTH AND FUN. IT IS IN NO WAY MY BEST WORK; IT'S ALL FOR FUN.
THIS, FOR ME IS MY DAILY CREATIVE PRACTICE OF CHOICE, AND SKETCHBOOKING HAS HELPED ME DEVOLP A CULTURE OF CREATIVITY. I OFTEN BOND AND PRACTICE SKETCHBOOKING WITH MY FRIENDS AS WELL.
EACH SPREAD TYPICALLY TAKES ME A FEW HOURS TO COMPLETE. I USE EACH PAGE TO STUDY THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF ART AND TO DRAW WHAT FULFILLS ME.
ONE MISTAKE I MADE IN THE START OF MY SKETCHBOOKING IS PUTTING TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON MYSELF TO CREATE A PERFECT SPREAD, ONCE I LET GO OF THIS, MY CREATIVITY FLORUISHED, I BEILVE THIS MINDSET CAN BE APPLIED TO ANYTHING.
