I used to be very self-conscious when people watch me draw. I've mostly gotten over that. But you're right - "non-artists" will see different things and ask different kinds of questions. I don't get annoyed or mad about it. In fact, it might benefit to show your work to a non-artist now and again, for a different perspective. JB - I don’t think I’ve ever had that particular problem.

Usually they are for work now, and even some personal projects have turned into self censorship in a way. I miss it soo much! My goodness you are so young and you rock! Us old folks are getting intimidated!! :-) I agree all my old sketchbooks are filled with fun and wacky and crazy stuff that I don’t have in my current sketch books anymore.

I often sketch on stick notes while at work and was debating about posting one on my blog, you've given me the courage to just let it all hang out! :) Love this post.

I used to sketch and draw constantly growing up, I have sketchbooks filled with stuff. But I got away from it in the recent year. About six months ago, I started carrying a sketch book around with me again, and started actually using it, and MAN what a difference it has made. It really is important in developing your style. I'm trying to get away from the "pretty pages" hang up too. When I was growing up, I had a hard time showing my drawings to people other than family. There was only a few people who were allowed to watch me work. Now, it doesn't bother me so much, I don't mind having some one flip through my sketchbook. My step-mother just recently made a comment while looking at it, "Its like looking through a window into your brain." I guess thats good, thats what a sketchbook should be, right? :p Awesome post!

Star Trek TNG and Burne Hogarth bodies! I'm curious for your opinion, and I've asked others: as an artist, do you care about showing "Non-Artists" your sketchbooks? Do you ever get the feeling they just misinterpret everything, ask all the wrong questions, and pay more attention to the furious scribbling? Maybe just me being uptight. Any thoughts? Totally fun.
