• Inspirational Sketchbook Pages

    Today’s article hones in on sketchbook pages — both old and new — to examine different ways you can use a sketchbook. From practicing art techniques to reminiscing to making goals, a sketchbook can help you to achieve a lot!

    This is one of my (fairly) recent sketchbook pages. It was inspired by Samantha Dion Baker’s Draw Your Day!

    When I was a freshman in high school, I started my first sketchbook. All freshman students in art class got one, so I never really questioned its purpose. As an adult, though, I do look for specific reasons why I sketchbooked then and why I continue to sketchbook now! Today, I’d like to take you through some of the sketchbook pages I’ve made, both old and new. By doing so, I hope to give you inspiration to start your own sketchbook and perhaps prompt you to try some new lettering or art techniques!
