I regularly flick through old sketchbooks, as I have a habit of jotting down a few words or a tiny doodle of an idea at the very first glimmer. One game we often played involved inventing a character, then drawing their family, then their house, car, holiday destination, etc. I think my attitude towards the sketchbook originates from when my grandmother gave me a little stack of very cheap notebooks.
