Toned Watercolour Sketchbook A6
I call this little book the Tiny Tree Book—a small collection almost entirely filled with drawings of trees. The sketchbook itself is an A6 Hahnemühle Toned Watercolor Sketchbook in beige, and I absolutely love the paper. Originally designed for urban sketching, it handles color beautifully, keeping the tones rich and vibrant. It also holds water surprisingly well—though by the end, the pages developed a slight wave. But honestly? That just adds to its charm.

Inktober 2021
In October 2021, I decided to take on the Inktober art challenge. I had attempted it a few times before but never fully committed. This time, I was determined to complete all the prompts on the list.
To be fair, I got a head start. Subscribers to the mailing list receive the prompts in advance, so I took the opportunity to plan accordingly. I spent time sketching rough concepts and incorporating some fun characters I had designed earlier. My focus was on visual storytelling rather than inking techniques. To simplify the process, I used black markers instead of liquid ink for almost all my drawings.
I learned a lot throughout the challenge and am proud to have completed it. However, creating a full illustration with a strong narrative every day was exhausting. I doubt I’ll attempt it again anytime soon, but I’m glad to have checked it off my bucket list!
