Expressive Sketchbooks by Helen Wells, 2020

Developing Creative Skills, Courage, and Confidence

An expressive sketchbook is a place for you to explore, express, and enjoy your own innate creativity on your own terms. It is a safe playground for the imagination—a place to mess about, play, and experiment—and to gain confidence in your abilities as you develop your skills.

I'm pretty pleased with these watercolor studies - anemone, cyclamen, woodsorrel and scarlet pimpernel. Cyclamens are very silly shaped flowers but I like them a lot! #watercolor #floral #art #mastoart #painting #fediart #sketchbook #sketchbooking

hand drawn ink sketches of a fluffy small dog, maybe a Pomeranian, with googly looking eyes and its tongue out.

A worn journal page with the drawing of an man looking sad in a uniform and a person looking at him with anger.  The text next it reads:  As he walked the streets, he felt all the disapproving glares upon at him and his government uniform. When he first earned it many cycles ago, he was proud of it, proud of what it stood for; support of community, equality, compassion. But now with the new cruel, thoughtless leader, he felt shame wearing it. He did all he could to uphold his morals in a moral vacuum, but it never felt like it would be enough.

A worn journal page with the drawing of a tired looking woman wearing an oversized sweater.  The text next it reads: She was a caretaker of others, with the weight of their world on her shoulders and she did it all without notice. The stress could only be seen in the bags under her eyes and how she sought out comfort in the embrace of her over-sized sweaters. Problems that would send others into a tailspin, she'd shrug off and continue on because the only way to survive was to keep moving forward.

A worn journal page with the drawing of an alien man looking forward and a person in a spacesuit.  The text next it reads  This was suppose to be a relaxing hike through the forest, but the figure he saw ahead would change all that, would change everything. Inching forward, a twig snapped under his foot. The being turned around. His own shocked face reflected back at him from the visor. The stranger's face, unseen. It spoke: “Hi Steve, we've been looking for you.”

A worn journal page with the drawing of a tired looking vampire. The text next it reads  She was so hungry. She was so torn. She needed the blood to survive yet she hated to cause any suffering. She would go as long as her body would allow between feedings and then she'd let her instincts take over, turn off her morality and feed ravenously. She'd wake up, body recharged, but soul shattered. She was so tired.

A worn journal page with the drawing of a man looking sidewise and a humanfied mouse wearing a fez in a suit and scarf.  The text next it reads It was just standing there, with its hairy face and twitchy little eyes. Did it not know to stay below the streets, in the sewers, with the rest of its kind? Reaching for a rolled newspaper, he swatted at the creature, shooing the human back to where it belonged.

Journal page with a drawing of a young woman with her eyes closed, concentrating. Below is a sketch of an alien, looking upward in bliss with his eyes closed.  Text reads:  Her mind reached out, searching for his. Telepathy was not easy for her species to learn, but he taught her well. She focused on the image she wanted him to see: him comforting her as a child by singing songs of his ancestors, calming her as she woke from nightmares. She felt their minds connect, felt her love for him flow with the images and felt that love radiate back to her...a feedback loop of everlasting warmth.
