Seeing beauty in the mundane

In the Sketchbook Skool community, people express often they would love to have more of a regular drawing habit. But one of the problems they point out, is that when they do have time, or make time to draw, they don’t know WHAT to draw.
Koosje's 'motto' is that everything is interesting when you draw it.
Today she is showing you one of her most precious sketchbooks from a few years ago, that hopefully can inspire you when you are stuck at home and you feel like there’s nothing to draw.

The accordeon sketchbook in this video is from the brand Seawhite of Brighton.

I remember a line from a book called 'Drawing on the right side of the brain' that said "draw the ten thousand things around you".

Yes! Especially in lockdown times - finding the beauty in household items has been a saving grace! I sketched the living room, pot plants, the cat...all sorts! Thanks for the video Koosje!

Thank you. I have a block of drawing time in the morning and have been wasting the time doing mundane things. How great to think about drawing the mundane instead of muddling around wasting the time.

Inspiring as ever. Thank you. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for this!
1) it was great to see your amazing work - i paused on every page
2) I'd like to get back into daily drawing and you've given me an idea: 💡 I keep a written journal, so maybe I just doodle something in there.
I'm going to do that, starting right now actually! Thanks again! Xx
