I Didn’t Finish This Sketchbook

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Have you ever felt stuck in a creative project, just because you already started it?

In this week's Draw Tip Tuesday video, I’m sharing... the sketchbook project I’m letting go of.

I started this accordion sketchbook in 2023 as a cozy winter project, drawing scenes from my home. It was kind of meant to be part of a series, but as time passed, the spark faded. Life got busy, my creative practice shifted, and the project no longer felt like a good fit.

So I made the decision to let it go. Unfinished. That’s not something I do easily, but it feels right.

I’ll show you the drawings I did make, talk about what changed for me, and share how letting go of a project can open the door to something new.

Materials I used:

• A4 Seawhite of Brighton concertina sketchbook

• Fountain pen

• Watercolors

• Colored pencils

Thanks for following along. Letting go is not giving up. It’s making room for new ideas!
