Merel Djamila on Instagram: "On the last day of the year, I proudly present my sketchbook tour! 📔✨ It actually is a combination of an art journal and a sketchbook. Next to sketches it is also filled with elaborate illustrations. I started this book in January this year and although not all the works are finished, all the pages are filled! 🎊 #sketchbooktour #sketchbook #2022 #artjournal #artdiary #painting #illustration #gouache #flipthrough #newyear #newyearseve"

So you want to get into sketching, but staring at a blank page is seriously intimidating.

To begin you need a pencil to sketch, an empty page in a sketch notebook but in this case I am using a watercolor book, an eraser (trust me there will be mistakes) and, a form of technology (if you want to skip a step later go ahead and grab your colored pencils).
