Things to look out for when purchasing a sketchbook are:Ī) Sturdy: You will be taking your sketchbook with you everywhere you go. I always recommend that you try to buy the best you can afford. I will mention a few, but in the end, you will have to make your own choice depending on what is available in your area and to suit your own pocket. They are available in a variety of sizes, paper types and makes. Let's start off by looking at the equipment you will need to start your sketchbook.
That way they will always have some before sketches to look back on - something very few artists have. In my opinion every artist should first be given a sketchbook and a pencil (no eraser) and be sent out to sketch at least 10 pages full before they ever follow a single tutorial or buy any more art supplies. Then in a few years time you will be able to page back through your sketchbooks and relive your artistic journey and see how far you have come. In the process you will improve your art beyond anything you ever imagined. Nobody will see your mistakes so you can lose your abandon and play to your hearts content. It is your private art journal in which you, and you alone, can document and watch how you progress.Īs only you will see the inside of your journal, there is no pressure on your part to perform or get anything perfect. Generally you never even show anybody your sketchbook. This book is however your personal growth factory because you are going to sketch, draw, write, paint, experiment, mess and make mistakes in it. What is a sketchbook and why is it necessary for an artist to have one?Ī sketchbook is simply put, a book with empty drawing pages in it.
