An MSP Sketchbook is a practicing concept I threw together to try and improve as an artist. It's a collection of quick sketches done in the old, ultrabasic version of Microsoft Paint from Windows XP and below. By removing program/medium nuances and most conveniences of a more advanced program, your artistic limitations and problems become more evident to you, and you are forced to work on them.

I draw these daily, one gestural and one "clean" image using the same subject, and submit them the next day. Most of these will not be finished, and color will not be used. I will not be working on previous images and if I don't finish it in one sitting, I don't finish it at all. This is to further the focus on improvement as opposed to the piece itself.
