I copied small sections of some paintings. I had a lot of fun replicating some of his motifs and pondering his titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"698\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_7791-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_7791-1.jpg 698w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/img_7791-1-300x289.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">14 Dec 23<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My next step is to make notes of what I learned from my 2023 sketch journal. I am already visualizing how to make some books to hold 2024 drawings. One definite idea is to stick with certain approaches, exploring them longer and in a series. Although I can see the value in jumping around like I did, dredging up ideas from my blank mind. There were a lot of days where I did not have any idea what to draw in the journal and I&#8217;d like to reduce that feeling of cluelessness.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m getting tired of my review and there are a lot of boring pages in the last quarter of 2023.
