It’s been quite a week for the sketchbook challenge. In my first week of using the Leuchtturm I only made 16 sketches. That’s still more than the two a day minimum target, but quite a bit less than what I’ve been managing since the start of the year. There’s reasons for this. For one thing the first sketch made in the book on Sunday 8th Feb was the 7th of the day. For another thing I was away all of last weekend so didn’t whack in my usual bumper number of sketches on the Saturday. So essentially I started this week a day late on Monday.
I’ve had a week off work and it was always my plan to whack
in with a lot of sketches this week. Well, I’ve made 34 so far this week, with
a few hours yet to go. So with 60 pages left, that’s a finish in the second
half of March if I keep to the two a day target, and the first half of March if
I maintain the pace at which I completed the Derwent.
I posted my feelings about the Leuchtturm 1917 sketchbook a
couple of days ago, so I don’t want to go over that again just yet. But one
thing I will say is that I do think that it’s the best sketching journal I’ve
used for coloured fineliners. Here’s just a few I’ve made using them in the
last few days: -
