FancyStories

    So as of Sept. 29th 2016 I finished my first sketchbook; except for 2 pages. I am reserving those 2 pages for my friends.
    Back in November of 2015 I got the urge to draw again after a long hiatus and over the past year my friends have supported me every step of the way. Some have openly given me advice while others have cheered me on to keep going, so those last two pages will be for them to draw in or sign their name or whatever. I don't think most sketchbook owners do this as a usual thing, so it's one more way to make my sketchbook stand out.

**********
    Don't worry guys as for when the sketches will be posted, it's happening this weekend. I'm on a short break so I now have time to update my DeviantART.

Drawing Stream 2-3pm

*If there are any new streams for this this month they will be added here.

So over the next few days my Deviantart account will be filled with "new" sketches. I use the word new loosely because based on when the were drawn, they are a few months old.

I am nearing the end of my sketchbook and hope to have it completed and everything uploaded this month. Over the past year I told myself that no matter what ended being drawn in my sketchbook I would post it here and I've kept true to it. Even going so far as to give lengthy descriptions for some of them. The reason for this was because I felt frustrated when I would look at someone else's artwork I would only see the "good" pieces and not the "bad" ones.

Unless the person was a beginner or was doing a drawing meme, I would not see the incomplete sketches or the bad days or any kind of proof that a sketchbook was not just another pretty masterpiece to be admired from afar. I wanted to show others that an artist can have bad drawing days or have a drawing that never went anywhere.

I understand that people everywhere, no matter what platform they are on, want to show the best version of themselves, but I also believe that we need to embrace our past selves and be unafraid for others to see our mistakes and rocky beginnings. While I do plan to show the rest of my sketchbook until I fill up the last page, I cannot say the same thing for future sketchbooks.

It can be quite tiring scanning in every page and giving a description explaining a backstory behind each drawing. So for future sketch books you can expect updates to be more sparse with "higher quality" drawings posted. (Depending on the rate I improve)
