Here's a new post from Abby about her sketchbook:
Yes, I neglected my sketchbook a few days here or there. Every time though that I think, "I don't have time right now for today's sketch," I remind myself, "It's just for 5 minutes," or 6 if you count the minute of setting the alarm, getting out the sketchbook and colored pencils, and putting them away afterwards. Sometimes the sketches are just an exercise to put something, anything, down in 5 minutes. Other times I try to copy pieces of art I like in a short 5 minutes. And other times the sketches come from feelings, or images while meditating, or ideas I'm trying to remind myself to focus on. So, although there's too much to do, as always, I'm off to do a 5-minute sketch.
