I JUST FINISHED A SKETCHBOOK :D!!
This one lasted from FEB-22nd-2026 to just this past August 2nd. Which is like, 161 days, I think.
My last sketchbook was from November 12th, 2025 to February 20th, 2026. So, 100 days, I think.
I draw, a lot. If not within a sketchbook that day? The I am more then liable to draw on my phone, tablet, or even my laptop now that I can do so (bless the stars for Krita, right?)
Sometimes, people tell me they want to draw as often as I do. Which, while I understand the idea of day everyday = get better faster which is true to some extent, but what it also is? Is something I do to such a degree that not having a sketchbook on my person causes physical distress. I cannot buy any bag that isn't able to fix a large sketchbook, and all it's needed components of my pencil case, watercolor to-go paints, and so on.
I love art so so so much that I could go on for hours about it.
But I do not think you would want to draw so often that it consumes even your dreams. For me? That makes me happy. But for others? I doubt it would be enjoyable to be so very consumed by something to that high of a degree.
In other words? Filling a sketchbook in a week previously was likely not good for me.
