Thank you for joining me for creating an artist image Sketchbook. I hope you find this method of creating sketches to be a stepping stone and making more detailed illustrations. I want to include six bonus tips and a challenge for you. The first one, I suggest using low cost supplies to create your source books. This way you feel less pressure to be exact. And you can make multiple source books with very little monetary investment.

The value will be in your sketches, too. I prefer to use mechanical pencils because they don't need to be sharpened. This means they won't come to a point and that's fine. It's actually very good for this use because it won't scratch the paper and affect the pages underneath. And likewise, use a very light touch with your fine line marker as well. Three since the source books get a lot of use Don't hesitate to reinforce the pages with masking tape just to hear a couple of pieces to the top of the pages to connect the pages, it really makes a difference for if you want to remove a page do so.

But I would suggest keeping all your images, even the bad ones. You may return to the page one day and find inspiration from that sketch five. After you filled your book, be sure to keep it and refer back to it. Keep a designated spot for your homemade references, so you'll always know where to find them. Lastly, fill the pages with sketches of images and things you were drawn to. You can start a sketch, lose interest in stop and return to it one day.

Just like keeping your mistakes you may find inspiration from a partial sketch. And lastly, I have a challenge for you. Create a series of sketches on any topic of interest, then use those sketches to create a more detailed piece of artwork. Thank you for joining me today.
