Maybe this varies depending in which country they are purchased. I find the big ones, (with the perforations), annoying as I want to keep a complete collection of paintings in place and the sheets tend to come apart. I've found that it's best to paint on one side of the page and make notes on the reverse. If I find that the page starts to fall out a wee strip of adhesive tape, on the non-painting side, usually works. </p> http://www.skineart.com/forums/topic.php?id=17#post-113 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:30:29 +0000 zaulia 113@http://www.skineart.com/forums/ <p>Hello all!<br /> wonderful pieces, much inspiration around.<br /> I'm Zaulia, from Lithuania.

Love the site and finally submitted some drawings for consideration. So far just Beachy Head made it but I have loads of books from my travels. If I can find the one from Nepal I will try to get it posted. Regardless I am not a trained artist and do not work in the arts. Most of my career has involved travel all over the world and I will start hitting Africa this year so expect some drawnings from the Sahal pretty soon.

I live in Devon, England, but am a Yorkshire lass. I found out about this site via a link on the moleskinerie site. I think I first found that through searches about watercolours. Never took art at school (was always considered to be no good). I've been dabbling with crafty things and recently made a leap into watercolours and a whole new world has opened up. Within a few weeks I'd applied for an Arts and Design course at Exeter and got accepted!! To celebrate I bought a moleskine but am scared of ruining it with practice pieces so am still doodling in my old book until I get more confidence! The works posted are brilliant. I'm in awe. It's so inspirational and very generous of people to share their thoughts and ideas. I'm hoping to get to learn more new media apart from watercolours. </p> http://www.skineart.com/forums/topic.php?id=23#post-103 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 06:33:52 +0000 3lla 103@http://www.skineart.com/forums/ <p>I'm quite concerned myself.

Despite what you think is not so good, there will be plenty of others who will look at your efforts and say that they wish they could draw like you. Don't believe me? Take your wee book and pens down to the nearest park bench and start to sketch. You will soon be surrounded by folk complementing your work. I once sat in the main square in Bruges, trying to sketch the bell tower. My drawing was so bad I was about to rip it up when a shadow fell across the paper. This was cast by a German lady who was sneakily trying to photgraph it over my shoulder. She though it was great. After her initial, acute embarassment we both had a good laugh. Good luck! </p> http://www.skineart.com/forums/topic.php?id=17#post-101 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:22:46 +0000 trebor61 101@http://www.skineart.com/forums/ <p>Greetings!

I've been using a Moleskine sketchbook for a few years but not in this way. May I explain! A couple of years ago I received a Moleskine as part of a Chrismas gift. Since I already had lots of sketchbooks I decided to try something different. I trawled the 'net for a wide variety of poems and copied them into the book, leaving lots of space. Now, when I go out, I look for subject matter to match the poems and, if I find anything, try to complement the prose with sketches. I now have around fifty pieces with space for around thirty more. Examples are The Scott Monument in Edinburgh to match McGonagall's poem describing the city, or a sketch of a sailing ship(obtained during a visit to Eyemouth Harbour) to sit beside John Masefield's "Sea Fever". It's good fun and encourages the habit of sketching regularly. My ambition is to visit Dublin to sketch the statue of Patrick Kavenagh, near Baggot Street, to sit beside his "Raglan Road". I suppose that, since joining this site, I will now have to carry two Moleskins, one for the poetry and one for other sketches. </p> http://www.skineart.com/forums/topic.php?id=17#post-99 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 15:08:39 +0000 Fatma desertrose 99@http://www.skineart.com/forums/ <p>Im Fatma from The Netherlands, I love art..life is meaningless without it!<br /> Mainly I make paintings, collages and textile art.<br /> Love to see the work of ppl here...some of these are real nice pieces of art and there are a lot of talented people here.<br /> I am not part of exchanges because im new here...but is this a sort of exchange group? because i cant figure that out. </p> http://www.skineart.com/forums/topic.php?id=20#post-98 Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:46:35 +0000 Rudat 98@http://www.skineart.com/forums/ <p>Would it be an actual contest?

I was a fine art major in college, focused primarily on sculpture and sketching. I ended up following a different path for my career, but drawing and doodling is very centering and therapeutic for me, so I keep doing it. I recently started up a webcomic called Screaming Tonge (http://screamingtongue.com) which is in its very early stages. For the most part I'm taking photographs of the characters I've drawn in my Moleskine and adding speech bubbles in Photoshop to build the comic.</p> <p>I found 'skine.art via a friend who'd seen the site mentioned on another blog and immediately added it to my RSS reader. There's some really cool stuff here. It's good to see an active community of creative people just sketching and doodling and making cool stuff. </p>
