Sketchbooks! Do you have them? How do you use them? Do you have a theme in place or do you freestyle it? Is it something you carry with you every day or have you built a homemade altar for it? How tall is the altar? Stone, metal or wood? Marble? Candles? Do you have a routine or a ritual to start or stop making art? Do you guide your hand with conscious effort when you draw or do you let the spirits take over? When to call an exorcist?Oct 17, 2025

I have so many sketchbooks. Most of them brought from the store. Rest are homemade.
Some are dedicated to marker illustrations. Usually the ones with higher quality marker and/or mix media paper. The rest are for sketching whatever the hell my brain comes up with. I have two portable sketchbooks to doodle whatever the hell when I'm out. And a big giant 600 page sketchbook on my desk to, also, doodle whatever.

I have sketchbooks, one big one (that I will often abandon) and one smaller one (that I actually draw in), but I will admit I don't touch them as much anymore as I've focused on digital art-- I THINK one of them is in my room, and the other is in the basement (at my art desk) but honestly I forget 
I try to draw whatever in themmmm

•Do I have a sketchbook? Yes! Do I use it? No u_u In my experience, the best sketchbook is basically any piece of paper you're not supposed to draw on.

I have sketchbooks a plenty. These days I leave it at home, on my nightstand.
I like to keep it spontaneous and loose, mainly to sketch out concepts quickly as they come to mind. If i tried to set a theme, I’d like get bored or overwhelmed and draw in it less lol

I have a dedicated sketchbook for fantasy maps and a wildcard sketchbook for whatever ink & pencil stuff I feel like exploring page-to-page.
