how to evaluate your sketchbook when it isn't finished!

In this video I’ll take you through my sketchbook that I am 60% done with. You’ll see my drawings from Costa Rica, a few from my trip to Mt. Shasta, and then I’ll complete a self-evaluation on my progress. By the end of the video, you should feel confident doing an evaluation like this on your sketchbook! ✨SUPPORT MY WORK✨ Explore my website https://melmitchelljackson.com/ Explore Creative Retreats: https://melmitchelljackson.com/book-a...
