In this video I am sharing what I learned whilst doing daily sketching for a year, accepting imperfections, continuing the project after abandoning it and how this project turned out in the end. I hope this can inspire those of you who feel discouraged doing longer projects and I think this can also show more realistic side of artists journey. If you enjoy this video please give it a thumbs up and let me know if you have tried year long challenges in the past? I have added a secret emoji at the end of the video and if you spot it type it in the comments so I know you stayed till the end.

About This Video

In this sketchbook tour I’m flipping through my “one sketch a day” journal and sharing what actually happened when I tried sketching every day for a whole year. I talk honestly about the parts people don’t always show: the messy pages, the days I really didn’t feel like drawing, and how perfectionism can quietly ruin the fun if you let it. This project taught me to accept imperfections on the page and to treat my sketchbook as a place to practice and be human, not a portfolio. I also share what it looked like to abandon the challenge for a while, and how I found my way back without turning it into a guilt-spiral. I learned that consistency doesn’t have to mean “never missing a day” — it can mean returning again and again, even after a break. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by long projects or year-long challenges, I hope this video feels like a cozy permission slip to keep going gently, with tea nearby, and to let your sketchbook reflect your real life.
