Between the learning sessions, simply as a break in between, I also liked to draw in a sketchbook. I kept an OOTD - Outfit Of the day sketchbook. I drew lots of outfits and mini-mes in it. It's a good opportunity for me to practise, stay in practice, try out new things and also draw more freely than when I'm working on commissioned pieces where I'm given a brief of what to illustrate.

My sketchbook filled up this summer. I was able to capture many memories in it, for example of my costumes in a musical I was in.

Now it's time to start a sketchbook with a new theme.
