After years of using a square format sketchbook that opens up to a strong horizontal, I fell in love last year with a more upright version, slightly larger than my small square sketchbook but smaller than the larger watercolor version I had been using. It didn't feel as time consuming to open and just do something in, so it became my easy go-to for almost all situations. The smaller square book (5.5x5.5"), though, fits beautifully in my small purse, though, and I enjoy switching up formats sometimes. I'm trying to remember to reach for it and use it as well. Here are a few recent(ish) sketches in that book.
I had both sketchbooks with me on my recent museum trip, and I started out with a quick sketch of the taqueria food truck I stopped at in Little Rock. But I had so much fun drawing it that I got out my bigger sketchbook (open to a double spread, so you can see the different shape) and spent longer and did it in color as well. So much fun. I keep thinking about food trucks. I'm going to have to seek out some more and sketch them.
