I use my artists Image Source book as a series of drafts of my images that I keep in sketch pads, and my collection is growing. It differs from an art journal, in that my intention is to create nothing but sketches or rough drafts of images. By doing this, there is no pressure to get it perfect or exact. I try and record the idea or suggestion of an image to study further for specific illustration or a job. And To this end, where their goal is not the result, but the process of obtaining a more precise result in the future. I use inexpensive supplies.

I spent only a few minutes creating the illustrations, and I use either a single color or just a few colors. To capture the idea or thought that I'll develop further at another time. I use my source book in two ways. The first For quick sketches of an object, for example, I create illustrated recipes. In order to draw them. I will use images of cooking tools, packaging, ingredients, utensils, and so on.

I keep a source book on food sketches. I also keep one on food related sketches, and this would include things like utensils, bowls, pans, measuring cups, etc. The second way I use my source book is to delve just a little deeper into a sketch. And by doing this on clewd, a larger and slightly more detailed sketch, I might even include some notes that I find interesting about that specific subject. For example, here I was a little more focused on the sketch of an avocado. So I drew a larger image, and I jotted some things that I found intriguing that I might use with a future illustration.

And I might not, but when I was studying the avocado, I found at some point it was called an alligator pair. I found that to be something I might find useful at another time. It spoke to me is fun, visual and interesting
