Creating Can Create its Own Magic by Imaginarium Creative Studios

Today I yanked out my sketchbook and went to town. I carry it with me everywhere, just in case I need to create. Too many times I carry all my supplies and then leave them by the wayside! But today I decided keeping a personal sketchbook would be a good habit creatively and personally for emotional release. I would recommend it to everyone and anyone: make yourself a personal sketchbook and just enjoy the art of making something from nothing, focusing on the joy of pure creativity.

When it comes to keeping a personal sketchbook, I don’t think there is a right or wrong. That’s why it’s so important to have just for you, with no obligation to share to anyone else! You won’t be comparing, just learning and practicing and getting into a routine with your materials.

Too often I neglect things that have no purpose but pure creating, because I’m busy with “branded style” and themes for subjects. Having a sketchbook with no purpose, but to draw for myself, it’s really a freeing and contemplative experience. When you’re an artist for financial sustenance, it can be easy to get swept up in an “all work, no pleasure” mode more often than not. (That’s not to say professional artists don’t have pleasurable work when we take commissions or make work that’s in brand!) It can be good to sketch or scribble or collage or whatever with no real aim for gains. There’s something entirely different about that kind of creative energy 🙂
