Sketching in Arctelia
Hold quick studies, references, place notes, and the movement between loose looking and stronger composition.
Where sketching work can live.
Arctelia is most useful when the real material of the craft stays close to the session. These are the workspaces that usually matter first for sketching.
Scribbles
Use Scribbles to gather references, composition notes, and loose planning around each sketching pass.
Scout
Use Scout when sketching depends on location, light, route, or environmental context.
Scribe
Use Scribe for critiques, process notes, bibliography, and the written thinking that supports the visual work.
How sketching moves through the cycle.
The motions are not abstract. They shape how preparation, making, completion, reflection, and renewal behave in practice.
Calm
Gather references, site context, and the intention for the next sketching session.
Endurance
Stay with the pass while images, notes, and reference material remain close but unobtrusive.
Breath
Mark the study, painting, or capture as a finished pass and save what should be kept.
Mend
Review composition, process, and what should change the next time the work comes back.
Inspiration
Collect motifs, places, and adjacent images until the next direction starts to show.
Keep the craft, the workspace, and the rhythm in one place.
