It is New Year’s Eve, and we are again at the time of year where we reflect on the past year and think about what we want to achieve in the new year. On the drawing and creative front, this is an exciting time to look back at journals and drawings from the last year and even further back. It can be surprising to see one’s progress laid out in this way and helpful to remind yourself of past experiments and lessons. So take out the old sketchbooks, take some time to flip through them and put your drawings in some order for next year.
