It is always rewarding to draw or paint in my sketchbook. I really have no hesitation so the pen or brush starts flowing once I open it up. Plus, it is great to refer back to, as I experiment with numerous color combinations and thumbnail sketches.

Developing sketches on the human form are essential for me as my images become more and more fluid. In addition, I find it important to adjust my painting approach depending on which paper os surface I am using. Thin papers I am more likely to paint wet on dry while heavier surfaces I aim for more of a wet on wet approach, if it seems right.

Regardless, once I put pen or brush to paper, the creativity just oozes out. I increasingly want to paint with a larger brush on a bigger scale.
