INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS AN EXPRESSIVE SKETCHBOOK?
Nurture Your Creativity

An expressive sketchbook is a playground for your imaginationa place to nurture your creativity and develop your own artistic style. In this book, I provide lots of guideposts to light your way and help you develop a sketchbook that feels uniquely yours.

This book is about exploring your call to create and coaxing those ideas out onto the page. It is about helping you make art that only you can create.

Know that your sketchbook will not be filled with flawless drawings or perfect outcomes. But the sometimes messy and joyful experiments will pave the way to discovering and refining your own visual style and artistic voice. Keep in mind that sketchbooks are where you develop an artistic practice, not where you turn up fully formed. They are part of the artistic journey; they are not the final destination.

Incorporate Art into Your Life

A great sketchbook is not about perfect outcomes. Its about learning and growing through doing. The sketchbook is a safe place to become more confident and courageous about your own creativity. Its also where you can develop an approach to art and a process that lights you up, filling you with energy and enthusiasm. Think of your sketchbook as a place to have a creative conversation with yourself.

Become more inspired by creating more art. Dont wait to feel ready to begin; by beginning and taking action, we become ready.

Experimentation and Discovery

There are no rules when it comes to sketchbooks, apart from experimentation and discovery. We become creative by creating. Your sketchbook may contain very few actual sketches. For some people, a sketchbook may be all about sketching from life, while for others it is about exploring color and composition or recording thoughts, memories, or ideas. My hope is that this book gives you a little creative rocket fuel to allow you to take off in your own artistic direction.
