I’ll start from the very beginning of my university course…

This is the first sketchbook I ever did. I had of course drawn before this, but never made a sketchbook.

Our first unit in our first year tought us how to make a sketchbook, with many workshops helping us with ideas and teaching us techniques to put one together.

Our very first exercise was drawing with our left hand (or right hand if we were left handed). Our teachers wanted us to do this to help us relax and learn to draw to gather information, not to try to draw correctly. The creative process needs to be free and flowing!
