Clearly I need a scanner. Pic taken with photobooth comes out so grey.
I started a new sketchbook. Sorry Moleskin… I don’t like your tight gutters. The ideal sketchbook for me is landscape and spiral bound with not too many pages.
If the books are too long I end up leaving them half finished.
I bought a few extra Maruman sketchbooks before I left Japan. Of course I gave some away. I’m on the last one now. I like the look of the Artist Sketchbook, but the double spiral of Art Spiral series wins… even if the label looks dumb. I usually collage and cover that anyway.
I’m going to order some from Jerry’s Artarama. Seems to be the best place to get them online.















That is such a beautiful sketch. Gorgeous.
I like your new blog theme and layout too.
Also, while I’m a fan of Moleskin myself I have to agree with you re their sketchbooks – spiral-bound is the only way to go with sketch books. And – lightbulb moment – now I realise why I’ve so many half-empty ones lying around. It’s not that I rarely sketch – they were too many pages in the first place. Ah-ha!
Thanks for stopping by, I’m heading over to your blog to say hello an catch-up!
