Megasketch Monday -- My Big Regret

Part of my current "Inspiration Wall" in the studio
Project Megasketch has influenced and improved my art and creativity in more ways that I can count. However, if there were a single thing I wish I'd done differently, it would be this: I wish I'd taken the book apart from the very beginning, and used only one side of each page.  That is my big regret.

Initially, I didn't see that a 600 page bound volume would be a problem. As the page numbers grew, the negative aspects of a double-sided, single volume multiplied. I didn't realize the full impact until the project was over.  If you're part way through the project, and working in a stitch-bound book, you may want to consider changing to a loose sheet system. I wish I had for so many reasons.

To arrive at our destination, we need to use what we've learned, see the path we are on, and use that for inspiration in moving ahead.
  • What has inspired you on your megasketch journey so far? 
  • Which sketches represent what you need to see more of in your work, or a direction you'd like to pursue further? 
  • What have you done that could serve as references for a series, or to chase an idea all the way to its conclusion? 
  • Which ones teach lessons, alerting you when you've taken a wrong turn?
I use a wall in my studio to answer these questions. It influences the way I work. The image above
