Max, color pencil, ink and oil stain

Scan 3Scan 4
The paper in my sketchbook is rather thin and scanning causes the next sketch to appear sort of as a backdrop for the first sketch. This happened a lot with the other sketches I scanned so it will probably continue that way until I fill up this new sketchbook to be replaced by a better quality one. I tried to blur out the background with photo editing but this changes the drawings a bit from the original. For some, the background works in a way, which is why I kept it for this one. Also, there’s an unfortunate oil stain from a container of basil pasta that I failed to properly close in my bag so almost of the pages in my sketchbook has this. I don’t believe in wasting though so I’ll just keep filling it up until the next one. In a way, this works since I feel more pressure to have good outcome when I use better quality stuff.

I think creativity flourishes better when you have nothing to lose.
