Sketchbooks

In a vain effort to get organised, with textures and with characters and with this website, I have nominally scanned through the last few large sketchbooks I have to hand and photographed some bits and bobs. But my perennial question is, why can’t I work quicker? Make progress more dynamic? Leap ahead ten steps not forward one and backwards two? Why aren’t I happy with the progress I make? But I guess that this is all a process and one which I can only improve by examining what I am doing and why.
