Sketchbook No.1 2010
This year I made a late start to a new years resolution. It was a very simple resolution (or seemed that it should be for any artist or designer); to fill two sketchbooks with drawings, doodles, paintings, thoughts, daily notes and observations.
Two weeks ago I finished the first sketchbook (this book was started in march 2010). I thought I’d take a few minutes to reflect on the exercise and share the rewards of my experience with others. Keeping a sketchbook at first seemed like it should be a natural part of any artist or designers routine – but i can tell you, that what I found is that it is quite rare (at least amongst we busy digital designer types) as it requires significant dedication and time spent with pencil on paper.
So what has been so amazing about this experience? How has my hard work paid off? Have a look for yourself.
