I bought a very small Moleskine sketchbook...one that I can carry around with me all the time. I did my first drawing in it today. This book is 5.6" x 3.6" and I'm used to sketchbooks from 5" x 7" up to 9" x 12". It is definitely going to take getting used to drawing that small. I have a set of cups that I bought years ago because they had red flowers on them...but they are small and don't hold as much coffee as a mug...so they sit on a shelf just looking pretty. I choose to draw one of them to christen my new sketchbook. I used pencil, then a very fine Micron pen to go over the drawing...then used watercolor pencils to add a bit of color.

Enjoy your new Moly. There's a charm about them.
Fabulious, love this first page!!
That's a lovely drawing and cup!
Well done!
Mine is small too, like yours, and it does take a little getting used to.
You'll do well.
Thats a lovely drawing. I liked the colors too.
I think I am going to give one of the moleskins a try..
I love your cup and your word design in this, Carolyn. Looks great!
I bought a Handbook sketchbook by mistake, and I like it ok, but not nearly as much as the Moleskines.
A lovely cup...beautiful pattern.
