Drawings almost every day by Romney David Smith and Tarragon Smith. Occasionally paintings or etchings or silkscreens. Or whatever else catches our fancy.
A sketchbook is a very important space where much of your growth as an artist will happen. It needn't be a hallowed and revered space, kept neat and well planned.
