Bullet Planner

 I have started to set up a kind of bullet planner for 2026. I want to use it instead of a bought planner or calendar. As I don't have a ton of appointments and to-dos to plan, it is going to be rather minimalist. Probably I will not draw in it, but just decorate it a bit with stickers. I have my sketchbooks for drawing and painting.

At the beginning I have monthly overviews where I put in holidays and birthdays. I have a single to-do page right now for things I want to do sooner or later. I will add weekly pages as I need them, as soon as there is an appointment or to-do in this week. The trick is that I use a ring binder for it, so I can add pages and remove pages and move them where I need to. I can add more content when I need it and put it where I want it. No empty pages, but content in perfect order. 


I will see where it leads.

Introduction

I have been drawing for 20 months now. I started back then, because I wanted a creative hobby, that you can do on a daily basis without needing lots of material initially. So I decided to learn a bit about the basics of drawing, practiced and soon found out, that it is easier than everybody thinks. And after all, you don't have to be perfect for it to be fun and for your drawings to be valuable. You are free to find your own way of drawing. While drawing as often as possible, I often find myself thinking a lot about this craft and me doing it. I certainly like drawing and sketching in sketchbooks. They are like journals you can browse through again and again and see what you were up to when you filled them. I am going to share my thoughts about drawing here and hopefully will dare to share one or the other drawing.

New Sketchbook

 There is nothing like preparing a new sketchbook after you have finished the previous one. I like to decorate the insides of the front and back cover with stickers. One that says „Sylvia‘s sketchbook no. x“ and some simply for decoration. After filling the first page I also add the month I started it. After filling the last page I then add the month I finished it.  The stuff on the right is just digital.

Gouache

I have bought some Schmincke Designers Gouache and some Hahnemühle watercolour paper. I need to start practising with the good stuff, because my older niece has asked me to paint something for her 16th birthday in October. So I have done this little painting in my mixed media sketchbook today. The paint is great, so much smoother and easier to handle than the cheap stuff I have used so far. After getting to know it better and practising a bit I will also test the new paper. I‘m looking forward to more painting adventures.
