Sketchbooks

Exploration of pencil
sketchbook 
I just started shading; fit the images to the initial marks.  It's less a drain on the wallet to explore images this way.

    Sketchbooks serve differently, depending on the artist.  Well, at least from what I have seen.  Some books are filled with what look like finished drawings; and, at the other extremes, notes with some illustrations about what the artist wants to do.

    For me, it's somewhere in the middle - and the occasional recipe for something I want to cook.  Not that I am a great chef, but food can be fun.  I don't have a lot of finished drawings, but sketch books don't demand that.  There is a lot more freedom to try things.

    I should buy sketchbooks wholesale.
