Great sketch using the ballpoint pens and highlighter.. btw
Comment on loose sketches and notes: I have spent 35 years trying to break myself of the "scrap paper" habit. It was one bad habit I picked up from an old mentor. Anyway, I used to write everything down on scraps of paper, paper napkins, whatever I had at hand. Didn't matter if it was a drawing, small sketch, project notes, computer code, phone numbers .. the list goes on. My filing technique was just a nightmare, but I used to swear I knew where each bit of information was. I had boxes of paper scraps. Quite often I would curse at myself while searching for that one phone number, scribble on a corner of a paper scrap. Finally I broke down and started to buy notebooks (you know - the paper type) and forced myself to journal everything in bound notebooks.
It may seem strange but at one point I owned 35 running computers/Macs/Laptops etc and I still had paper scraps until the paper notebooks went into play, Well until I bought my Macbook Air and iPad, the alternatives were heavier than carrying the paper journals.
I found also like you I was painting on separate watercolour sheets and they were just everywhere.
So this whole sketchbook / moleskine movement has me organized.

Let's see how long it works out,
