A sketchbook is an artist’s diary. Some are neat and orderly, some are peppered with shopping lists and coffee stains, some are filled with rough experiments, and many reflect the artist’s most inner thoughts and emotions. Sketchbooks gives us a glimpse into 41 different sketchbooks that belong to artists, illustrators and fashion designers from around the world. Author Richard Brereton also interviews each sketcher on what keeping a sketchbook means to them. It’s fascinating to see how varied each sketchbook is in both its tone and style. Sketchbooks left me feeling creatively inspired and motivated to get back into my own journals.
