🎒I survived my first backpacking trip and filled half my sketchbook with inspiration✨

In this video I take you on a sketchbook tour of the sketchbook I started for my trip to Joshua Tree! You also get to see some footage from the backpacking adventure itself. In addition to many drawings of rock formations you'll get to see my new favorite sketchbook practice, drawing my gear! ✨SUPPORT MY WORK✨ Explore my website https://melmitchelljackson.com/ Explore Creative Retreats: https://melmitchelljackson.com/book-a...
