\nMy current sketchbooks that I desperately want to finish but only about half way completed.<\/i><\/div>\n

\nI figure some of you would like an introduction to why I started this blog. If not, feel free to skip it. XD With graduation behind me I began to wonder what I should do with my
\nlife. Since I love the manga story-telling style, I decided to try to work on my own webcomic which is why
\n I established this blog. It was mainly to help me track my progress as slow as it might be to help motivate me and for the public to watch me grow.<\/p>\n

As I learned more about the development of
\nwebcomics I learned the key component is to have a notebook\/sketchbook
\nwherever you go to help you brainstorm or remember ideas and jot them down before you forget. This was the start of my book
\nparaphernalia obsession. I started to research the different types of sketchbooks\/notebooks and just took off from there. I became entranced with the many possibilities you could fill a book with and fell in love with the diverse amount of designs covers and the textures of the paper.<\/p>\n

I started collecting late this Spring(when I graduated) to early or mid Summer when I started looking at the different types of books I could collect. Now my books shelves are starting to fill up and now I try to be more selective of the types of books I get. Still, I love the feeling of the vast amount of possibilities I could fill them with such as doodles, ideas, and daily musings. I’m also recognizing the types of books I prefer which is helpful in identifying the type of books I’ll use for writing or sketching.<\/p>\n

The unfortunate thing is that I’m slowly filling up my books and am stretching myself across several books. I’m still using the sketchbooks from my high school days because I treasured the books and used loose sheets of printer paper. Realizing that was harder to keep together I decided I need to fill up the book and worry less about tracking the pages. As a result, those sketchbooks show the most growth for me as a writer and artist.<\/p>\n

I’ve always have been fairly frugal so I like to fill up every little space of my sketchbooks\/notebooks. You’ll see more as I post up newer art. I didn’t use to be so frugal with the space in my older sketches but now I find it a fun challenge to see what I could fit in that tiny space. In the end, it’s just the fact that the blank pages can be filled with anything is exciting to me.<\/p>\n

So some things I learned about my favorite type of sketchbook\/notebook:<\/p>\n
