Groping my way back to work using sketchbooks

Getting back to routines in my sketchbooks

Hello there,

Everytime I get back from a vacation I find it tough to just throwing myself into the work routine straight away, unless I am working on a client project with deadlines looking over my head. Sketchbooks are what fall back on to climb up and out of the holiday mode and get back working.

Though, if you have been following me for sometime, know that I am an avid sketchbook keeper and work in them every single day, even when I am on holidays. Just that they are most of the times, just scribbly lines , experiments and finding a way to love and try new stuff.

I love playing in my sketchbooks and after a vacation or break, I find sketchbooks as a way to getting back to a work routine.

Here are few sketchbook works from the last 2 weeks.

So say HELLO!! Done in watercolor pencils

Few more of the sketchbook play.

Also, did some TREEs on LIVE drawing session with Odd Orange. Each of these were timed at 2mins

Some price tags (on t-shirts) painted.

Ok, so that’s a rant of all the sketchbook works since I got back from vacation, so in the last 2 weeks or so. I am slowly getting into the routine of writing back here.

I would love to know how do you bounce back on your feet working immediately after a long holiday. Do you have a process? Any best practices or secret sauces? Routines? Would love love love to hear
