Sketchbook Manifesto

A sketchbook is more than just a notebook of drawings, it's a way to process raw creative potential and information. You can express yourself privately, experiment with ideas or different mediums, or even document your life. It's not just a visual diary either, but a real record of progress since the more you use it and practice with it, the more you'll improve as an artist.

Sketchbook Commandments

1. A sketchbook is a companion, a trusted friend to help in your art journey

2. Don't be afraid to make mistakes! You can be messy, make ugly art, it's actually good for you!

3. Use tools YOU love, use what makes you want to make art

4. You should use references and draw from observations, but don’t forget that imagination is just as important

5. A sketchbook doesn't need to be expensive, you don't need to use the most costly tools either. A sketchbook can be… Sketchy!
