I enjoyed working on the
2011 Sketchbook Project so much that I signed up for 2012 as soon as it was available. I had been jotting down advice note for a few months and interpreted the theme 'Ask Me How I Can Help' as an advice journal from my current self to my younger self. As with most of my work, the spreads flowed it fits and spurts. Some ideas and images coming quickly and easily while I laboured over others. I notice that in this sketchbook, and in most of my other work, I tend to focus on the humorous end of things and skip the heavier topics. Heavier topics aren't something I usually enjoy tackling in my art, but I'd like to scratch the surface a little this year.

| The front cover redux |
I'm proud of my final sketchbook and I can see how my ideas and techniques have evolved in the past year.
I'm already well into my
Limited Edition Sketchbook Project, but that is
another post for another day. For now, I'll leave you with a picture of
the front cover after I added some texture to the hair, as well as a
link to all the spreads on my
Flickr. I've also uploaded the images to the
Arthouse site. If you're a member, please follow me and I'll happily do the same.
