Sketchbook

Drawing from life in my observational sketchbook is a very important part of my illustration practice, giving me a source of inspiration drawn from my everyday experiences and the things, places and characters I see. I use my sketchbook as a place to play, record memories and provide references for my non-observational illustration work for children's books and clients.

There are few things in life that give us access to a free ‘flow’ state. I think you know the feeling I’m talking about: that sensation of your mind emptying, breath slowing, and a deep reconnection with yourself or your surroundings. 

 

Drawing from life is one of those rare things.
