I bring a sketchbook wherever I go, especially when I know I’ll be going to places with art or interesting architecture. If you’re not an “artist” or have little experience in physical mediums I think it’s still a great mental exercise and cannot recommend it enough! Every skill is learned! Here’s a sketch from today based off of Mattia Preti‘s “Saint Paul the Hermit”

I’ve been drawing everyday in a sketchbook everyday since 2018. Drawing is something that I’ve always wanted to be good at since I was very little. It’s a skill that anyone can learn, just like any other skill. It’s not a walled-off talent that only comes to a certain number of people, anyone can pick it up and learn. I love how meditative the process can be, it slows you down and forces you to see objects and perspectives for what they really are, not how you imagine them to be.

omg now that im free from the hell this semester was i can also recommend all the cool things i learned and habits i picked up lol... draw in a sketchbook every day! trust if you do it EVERY day literally you will go through MULTIPLE sketchbooks... it's so fun to have multiple blank sketchbooks lined up waiting to be filled bc ur like "collecting" full sketchbooks 😭 i already knee observational drawing was important and "all that" before this first semester in a rigorous art program but this fall made me enjoy it a lot more. don't worry your head about "realism versus what u normally draw" instead think of it like grab ur pencil and draw WHATEVER you see on the spot like a MADMAN!! (or use whatever supplies u can use whiteboard markers in ur sketchbook for all i care its YOUR sketchbook go crazy!!) Just put down shapes! Doesn't matter if it "sucks" NO ONE will see this but you! (this winter break I will be doing multiple winter sketchbooks that I'm so excited to do because this time my professors won't be seeing them 😂) Its ur place to go crazy go stupid go do it now 🔥

There’s sumn about this one that feels so good visually. Think it encapsulates that 70s warm fuzz that charm has.

Bringing my digicam on walks has helped me pay attention to small and mundane things around me everyday. It’s beautiful capturing a moment that others are living! Here’s a picture I took of a truck which has a logo that matches the mountain peaks behind it! :)

Last summer I went on a near full month road trip with 3 of my close friends, starting in Seattle down to Mexico then back up to Utah. It got me out of several comfort zones and pushed me to the edge constantly in the best way. Definitely a trip I’ll forever think and talk about. So grateful for those three.
