How to keep a Sketch Journal

How to keep a Sketch Journal

This book is a wealth of information on sketching, it is beautifully illustrated and gives lots of tips and tricks.

I picked this book out for my little brother who needed a little push in order to get his ideas out of his brain and onto paper. This little book offers fun tips, tricks and advice from artists with different backgrounds on how to sketch daily and effectively with different media. I have also been inspired to take my sketchbook with me wherever I go. Would definitely recommend.

I really liked this book for being a lose guideline on how to start and pursue a sketchbook. It is full of ideas and tips that really motivate to start sketching. I would recommend this book for anyone who needs a little inspiration and help to get started with a sketchbook.

I always liked to sketch but didn't know how to express myself with those sketches. In this book you can find different ideas, methods, and material suggestions from various artists about their own sketch journals. Aside from all these there are also very useful advices that made me start a sketch journal and appreciate my art more. It has a nice language which is easy to understand, and as a foreigner I suggested this to my friend who is also into sketching.

Nice little (format) book! A lot of good tips from different artists, with different backgrounds (architecte, cartoonist, student, well-established professional...).Too bad it doesn't exist in digital format though...

Loved this book, full of lovely drawings and tips, made me dig sketchbook out again. Would recommend.

This is a fantastic book that not only highlights inspiring artists and how they use their sketchbooks, but also gives you helpful tips on how to develop a daily drawing habit in your sketch journal.

This book has sparked my interest in sketching. I haven't realised it could be this fun! It's overflowing with inspiration, tips and tricks, and useful tutorials. I've read it over 10 times and each time is like the first time. It's a pleasure to look at!

If you ever need a big little boost of inspiration, then this book is for you. I keep coming back to it. Highly recommended.

I just started sketching again and I needed to up my knowledge about sketching. This little book was enough for me to get going again!

This little book is a great way to keep motivation and inspiration, all artist who shares their styles and advices to keep a sketch book alive are really inspiring the reader. A good way to start (or restart) sketching every day :)

This book is very nice. Many tips in his purpose. Good to carry anywhere and take the information and try to use as reference and follow his advice.

I picked this up because I've been attempting to learn to sketch and have always felt intimidated by the endeavor. This book was a great, encouraging way to dip further into the world of sketch journals. It has several sections by different artists who offer tips and techniques ranging from the traditional (watercolor layering techniques) to the less-traditional (collage using ironed garbage bags!). There are a load of examples, and each section ends with the artist answering the question (paraphrase) 'What advice would you give to someone starting out with a sketch journal?' I really loved how friendly and creative this book was, and plan on sharing it with my daughter, who is a middle schooler taking art class.

I am the kind of person that have artistic ideas but don't know how to translate them in a journal. This book is the perfect medium that will help me do that. It's compact in size so I can carry it around wherever I go and it's straight to the point with everything you need to know about creating the artistic journal every artist wants to.
