This was kind of a “junk” sketchbook, until I finished Sketchbook 2 and it became my main one. I didn’t have high hopes for this cheap mixed media sketchbook paper, but it was almost great, considering the price. It wasn’t just that it cost me less, but not feeling at all precious about “wasting” it was freeing and meant a lot more experimentation and risks, some of which paid off. I’d consider buying it again if it came in a smaller softcover version.

Some things I enjoyed trying out were permanent inks, my kids cheap watercolours, and sketching my travels, recent and long past.
