Sometimes, I would like to begin new sketchbook concepts, like "Sensei : people who inspire me", "Music : illustrated songs that I love", or even sketchbooks about feelings that I would like to explore deeper...

The only thing I lack to begin all these is time ! And I'm sure I could make time for some, just have to organize... Even with 7 Potichats to look after.

I have to warn you : if you step into the fantastic realm of sketchbooking, there is no telling where or when you will stop. It is totally enthralling and addictive.

Side effects :
* Your hand will become surer, and you will draw circles or straight lines much easier than before.
* You will start to experience the day with an attentive eye to your level of perceptions, so you won't miss a moment that should have been drawn

Feel free to add your own side-effects in the comments, and I would be glad to have a look at your sketchbooks <3

If you are new to sketchbooking and journaling, I recommend Kate Sutton's Domestika Course "Illustrated Life Journal : A Daily Mindful Practice", that's how I began.

But now, please enjoy July with the Potichats at Maison Legrand.
