Sketchbooks makes the world go round

a lot of dots

It all started from here. I saw Alison Worman's beautiful and curious sketchbooks in Book By Its Cover blog. I totally fell in love with the idea of big piles of sketchbooks. But it took time before I really started to make one.

Last year in the end of November I found The Sketchbook Project 2013. I ordered their sketchbook and had 15 days time to make mine before the deadline. But I decided to do it anyway and you can read about my thoughts when I got it ready from here.

Well, now these sketchbooks are on the tour. I just visited The Sketchbook Project's blog and found some really great books by talented people from there. So if you have extra time or nothing to do - go there. If you feel not so eager, here's few I found quite interesting:


...and I'm sure there are plenty more gems if you just dive in.

You can find a lot of sketchbooks from project's digital library. They digitized books if you paid for extra. And of course that is a wonderful way to make the project visible to all people. You can find my sketchbook from there too. I was happy when I got it ready - now when I'm looking at it I'd like to change so many things. But I'm lucky I can order new sketchbook and do it all over again. Yay!

I think sketchbooks are fascinating way of express ideas, thoughts and plans. They are a little bit like mood boards, when you make them - same time you work with ideas and thoughts what you have had or just create something totally new.

  4. Your sketchbook looks really nice - I'll have to check out some more when I have time. A project like that sounds like a good way to finally start that sketchbook I'm always planning but never doing!
