Hullo Elvie, I did enjoy your flip through. I was taught that sketchbooks are planning tools for future art pieces. Now they are practically works of art in and of themselves! I saw several pages I believe would make really lovely larger art pieces! Take the last picture it is a wonderful study piece for a larger painting. Now no need to go gigantic, but going from the small page up to a 9x12 watercolor block would be a significant leap! I would love seeing you to that! I have made that jump up and I was even encouraged to go even bigger once I made the jump from sketchbook to 9x12 to 11x17 to a 22x30 a full watercolor sheet! Up scaling your art works is not something mandatory but it can open doors and bring in more money and that was a key for me in deciding to work on my art full time. These days no one "needs to" go big. You can make money just creating videos! branching out creating more than one revenue stream is what can keep you going these days! I do hope you think of this comment as encouragement, not criticism! Please keep creating and sharing your art journey, I loved it when you showed the pieces done by others in your book, truly encouragement on the most personal scale!
@@mjpete27 I do love doing larger scale works but they take up a fair bit of space over the work bence, I've got an A5 sketchbook for my next one and an A4 too! It's definitely so important to try different scales and play around, I loved sketchbooks as a way to capture parts of my life and interests!
