I kept striving for someone else's idea of consistency with my art practice, I think. Once I let myself relax and not worry too much about the end result, it got a lot easier! Fan art, doodles, gesture drawings, lessons, and little cut-up bits and bobs all go in my sketchbook now. I also think I might borrow your idea of doing Sims builds, because that's too cute lol
I'm pretty pleased with where I'm at most days in my sketchbook, and I think the improvement I've had this past year shows that *something* about it must be working, even if it looks a bit different from the 'productive sketchbook routines' I see on social media :) Keep doing you, Mel! Can't wait to see the sketchbook tour ^_^
i would looooove to see your sims sketches! hehe such a fun way to honor that game as the creative playground that it is. Glad that abandoning consistency is helping you too in order to keep persisting :)

Ahh so freeing and relieving to hear the message that you don’t have to be consistent!! I can say it to others, but infrequently remind myself 😬
yaaay! so glad it resonated for you :)
thanks for sharing! :)
