That's a good mindset, but I also believe that a sketchbook should be meant for mistakes so you can truly explore and learn. I never erase any of the sketches I make even if they're aweful because they become part of your journey as an artist.

I remember Scott saying "I believe in you", too, whenever I'm frustrated or just not clicking with the universe. Somehow it makes me feel better. Scott, even though you're a couple years younger, I've adopted you as...well, not a father figure...a favorite cousin or uncle. Sometimes I even think of you as the big brother I never had. I pull out my little Sava Sayings notebook and suddenly the world makes sense again. Like, I need family to get me through the bs of the day. Anyhow, welcome to the family, I guess. From now on, family is limited to people I actually like/enjoy.

I never like to say I "mess up" in my sketchbooks, since I don't use sketchbooks for any fully fleshed out art, just for sketching and doodling. But I have found that using sticky notes to cover any mistakes and then drawing the corrections over the sticky notes makes for a cool looking fix!

I often draw or paint on scrapped sketchbook paper, and cut/paste them into a hardcover sketchbook with process notes! That cuts out all the commitment anxiety, and gives a great avenue for easy storage/portfolio. I rarely have ANY white space in my kept sketchbooks, unless it's integral to a piece's composition.
