2017: New Year + Finished Sketchbook!

Happy new years!

This year has gone by way too quickly and I have been much too busy to keep up with my side-projects, update my blog AND have a life, so the blog and life was nipped in the bud ;^)

I think I managed about.. half-ish of last years resolutions, which means I managed to finish the sketchbook and tried, valiantly, to get up early. The rest just fell off the wagon named "life." Oh well!

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS:

• Run every week! Need to be in a good physical shape to be in a good mental shape! Which coincidentally lines up with my last years "Get up early", since I really enjoy running in the morning. One stone, two birds. 
• Get in bed early and read before sleeping. Since this makes me not only sleep better, but fills a "read more books" resolution.
• Fill a 2017 sketchbook.
• Finish one of the many projects I have outlined in my notebooks.
• Keep having fun Ketsjup meetings!
• Go to Oslo and hang out with Ketsjup IRL.
• Learn how to play a song on my ukulele.
  

SKETCHBOOK 2016

I finished my 2016 sketchbook after hiking up my doodlin' pants and filling the last pages during the Christmas holidays. I switched out the heavy paper sketchbook after realizing, I'm just not that kinda girl... thin, low-quality paper is where my heart lies. There are some 2015 illustrations in it from the Brussels trip, but whatever: Look at the flapping pages! Next year, I hope to finish well before the Christmas holidays and do even more digital illustrations since there were few this year...! Wish me good luck.

Some stuff from the sketchbook: Mostly pens, since pencils are hard to edit and the paper is super smudge-y. Hurray for my love of low-quality, cheap sketchbooks!

My dad napping! (Sorry dad.)

I had about... 5-6 pen doodles of my friend Hanne, who was kind enough to sit still while I eyeballed her. Thank you!

Unfortunately, I realized that almost all the people I sketch are nude, and I try to keep my blog PG-13 ;^) + I started doing small "thumbnail" sceneries from windows. It was pretty refreshing! 

Here's to 2017! 

Thanks for looking!
