Swipe to See What I Did With This Paper✍🏽 🌸
Mini Rant: I wish I had taken a picture of the very first sketch bc girl… when I was drawing this, it started out really rough.
The paper I was using came out of a “sketchbook” but this is NOT drawing paper matter of fact, I’ll go as far as to say it’s worse than just plain copy paper in a “sketchbook”. I hate when companies do that. To make things worse it’s a sketchbook that my ART school provided for us. Like shouldn’t y’all know better??
So erasing and shading was much more tedious and annoying bc I had to be careful to not tear or scar the paper.
Thankfully, I kept working on it and saved it. She came out really cute I think! BRB throwing this “sketchbook” away 🗑️.

Sketching can be a challenging yet rewarding process, especially when you're faced with inferior materials. Many artists find themselves in a similar situation, utilizing sketchbooks that may not offer the best paper quality. To enhance your sketching experience, consider investing in professional-grade paper that suits your artistic style. Not only will it support better erasing and shading, but it will also allow your creativity to flow freely. It's important to remember that even the roughest beginnings can lead to beautiful outcomes. If you find yourself frustrated with your materials, take a moment to adapt your techniques. For instance, using softer pencils can prevent tearing and improve blending. Additionally, exploring different styles, such as layering colors or using mixed media, can elevate your artwork and minimize the frustration caused by low-quality paper. Lastly, don't forget to document your progress! Taking photos of your journey, even when the results aren't perfect, can provide valuable insights into your growth as an artist. Embrace the challenges, and let each piece tell a part of your story! #ArtJourney #SketchingTips #ArtistLife
