In this video I share a behind-the-scenes look at one of my project sketchbooks and explain how using a sketchbook with a single purpose can help you build a consistent creative habit.
I walk you through my mini glasshouse drawing project - a simple, daily sketching practice using just one pen and a small pocket sketchbook. Originally created as part of my online course Tiny Moments, this project became a personal creative routine that I continued over several months, filling the pages with imaginative plant-filled glasshouse doodles inspired by real gardens, houseplants, and observation.
