Sketchbooks online

So I'm on a listserv for AP art teachers. And one of the teachers, Nicole Brisco, shared a long list of sketchbook websites. These are great. I love sketchbooks. So here are my favorites of what she mentioned, with a few strengths for each.

  1. Wayne Jiang - Many layers of mixed media, Book 7 has a lot from life (love the peeled orange)
  2. James Jean - Gorgeous (!) observational drawing that is loose and "panoramic" in composition. Travel sketchbooks. Beautiful line quality with value marks. Wow!
  3. Tom Wood - Looks like the record and development of ideas, mixed media
  4. Rebecca Bradley - Mixed media illustration book
  5. John Copeland - There's a ton to see here. Very skilled observational drawing, with ink wash and paint layers. his out-of book work is great too.
  6. Sabrina Ward Harrison - Multi-media illustration. nice layers
  7. Danny Gregory - Here's a cool lil promo for a book re: sketchbooks, and I mentioned his site a few posts ago.
