I’m trying my best to finish up this sketchbook, it’s ALMOST done. I used @Disney Doorables to inspire this two page spread. Where I took some Doorables boxes and whatever character I got, I doodled. Snow White was looking a little off to me. Thank goodness, I was able to save the doodle of her 😅😂 I like the second version so much more

... Read moreIf you’re passionate about sketching and character art, using products like Disney Doorables as inspiration can really ignite creativity. These collectible figures offer a variety of playful and simplified character designs that serve as perfect starting points for daily sketch practice. One useful tip I’ve discovered is to focus on multiple iterations of the same character—like the artist’s work on Snow White in this spread—so you can refine your drawing until you’re happy with the proportions and expression. Using alcohol-based markers such as OLO Markers adds vibrant color and smooth blending to the artwork, which brings the sketches to life. Markers also allow for quick layering and shading, ideal for artists working within tight daily sketch goals. If you’re new to markers, it’s helpful to experiment with different coloring techniques, including light layering and blending with complementary shades to enhance depth. Daily sketch projects or sketchbooks are valuable tools for improving artistic skill because they encourage consistency and experimentation. Hashtags like #sketchdaily and #markerart in communities can connect you with other artists sharing their creative process, providing motivation and tips. For those inspired by Disney or similar themes, challenge yourself to reinterpret beloved characters in your own style—it can be a rewarding exercise that builds confidence and creativity. Ultimately, this process teaches patience and resilience, especially when early drafts don’t turn out as expected. Like the saved second version of Snow White, sometimes the best results come from revisiting and refining ideas rather than settling for the first try. So, embrace imperfection, keep practicing, and enjoy the colorful journey of building your sketchbook masterpiece.

Don’t Stop. Keep Trying. YOU Deserve a Win!
Just because it didn’t work out the first time, or the second time or even the tenth time, doesn’t mean it won’t work. The amount of times I’ve attempted something that didn’t work right away is more than I can count. Especially when it comes to business. I could have given up after 10 years

Trying again...
I still catch myself doing the things I swore I wouldn’t. Rushing them. Snapping when I’m overwhelmed. Shutting it down because I don’t have the capacity in the moment. And every time it happens, I feel that old guilt creep in. But now... I pause. I breathe. I try again. Because I remember how it

Trying COCO&EVE self tan✨
Okay so it is REALLY DARK, but overall I really like it!! -application: 7/10; dried really quick and was a little hard to rub in -smell: 8/10; BARELY ANY SELF TAN SMELL. The initial smell is really good, like coconut scented, but after sleeping in it, it does have a tinge of that self tan smell.

Found these flavors at my local target! I’ve wanted to try them for a while now so I’m happy they had them. My review on them is… Barbie: Not my favorite, it doesn’t taste much like peach at all. Strawberry vanilla: Absolutely amazing. It was some of the best low calorie soda I’ve ever had!!
