Sketchbooks

WHAT DO YOU USE A SKETCHBOOK FOR?

• Recording the world around you
• Putting ideas to paper and developing them
• Expressing thoughts, visual and otherwise

 Pat Perry | nice mix of media and methods

WHAT DO YOU PUT IN A SKETCHBOOK?

• Observational drawings
• Silly drawings and doodles
• Notes and musings
• Collage and visual inspiration
• Warm-up sketches
• Things you enjoy drawing
• Things you want to get better at drawing
• Finds! (leaves, cut-outs, cool tickets, funny found imagery..)

Kenn Goodall | rough plans, sporadic, unrefined

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR MYSELF

• Not every page has to be a masterpiece
• Try really hard not to rip pages out, keep as much as you can
• Be more exploratory and experimental
• As soon as you have an idea, record it. Don't wait.
• You can always refine something later
• Take a sketchbook out and about with you
