I had a 25 year break from art as life got in the way, but have recently rediscovered my creativity. This is what sketchbooks were made for! It's too easy to fall into the trap of 'it's not good enough to show anyone' but you get happy accidents that turn into something else by pushing your own comfort zone. I got some great ideas using the Japanese art of Hirameki, where you use random ink blots as a jumping off point for drawings. It's your art, just enjoy it and if it goes somewhere else, even better!
