I do a thought of the day sketchbook. This helps motivate me to draw every day and it's fun to go back and see what little things inspired me. It's a small sketchbook, about 4 x 6 inches, so it only takes 10 to 30 minutes to complete a painting. It's really motivating to see how I've improved over time.
It's so satisfying filling up sketchbooks. So many memories!
I may not remember the photographs of places I have visited but, I do remember vividly, with great detail every I had ever sketched. I remember the warmth of the sun the cold of the winter, the sounds and the scent of the soil, plants, flowers around me during that time. I can remember as far back as sketches from early my childhood that I have kept, which was over 55 years ago!
A good quality sketch book is awesome, but a cheap on is invaluable..... I find when I have a cheap sketchbook I'm more free to just TRY. I'm not worried about messing up or wasting money, etc. I found these pocket sized sketchbooks at the dolor store for $2 with paper that even using a brush pen dont bleed to the other side and I can even do light watercolor in it. I end up grabbing one of those more offen than one of the many high end sketchbooks I have.
I really agree with you. I think as an artist we should have more freedom to explore our style and practice. Not worth to buy such exp sketch books and cannot experiment with anything. haha.
Teoh , your work is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing
I doodle at work on my coffee breaks. Plus I keep some books like Creative License in my work bag so I have eye candy and pep talk whilst waiting for appointments. Thanks Teoh. Your voice and style has been so helpful for me. Merci from Vancouver island.
Teoh, thanks SO much! I am delighted to have had a peek inside these wonderful books and I am definitely going to order at least 3 of them based on your recommendations. My library is increasing and, hopefully, so will my sketching skills LOL ❤️
Thank you for the video. I love your work. Your sketching has a special energy that is very special to me. It makes me feel so good. It is also very inspiring.
I use mine for every idea I have, whether it’s character design, story boarding, working with wet and dry media, and drills to increase my skills. I usually have three in play at a time!
The How to Think When You Draw books looked really interesting. Inspiration and instruction combined.
I love your videos! You are a great teacher and I love your book referrals, too! Keep posting! Cheers and thanks from Kansas USA
I use sketch books to just draw free from my mine. Some are just a mess and some are not. Then when I want to do a proper painting, I flip through my book for inspiration and then develop that sketch more into a painting.
These Lorenzo books seem very interesting, I'll see if I can get my hand on them. Personnally I don't like loose sheets. I use most sketchbooks for finish pieces but lately I also try to get over my need to overwork a page by using cheaper sketchbooks for experimentations, thumbnails, etc
Teoh, I seem to have no rhyme or reason to my sketchbooks. I might have a simple pear on one page and a complex sketch of a building next. But too late for me to change now. 😁 Thanks for this video. 🌴Tallahassee, Florida 🌴
I use my sketchbooks to record scribbly ideas, sketch for final pieces (that I transfer onto watercolor paper etc using tracing paper), play with mediums I want to familiarize myself with, timed studies as well as entirely finished pieces sometimes, as my sketchbooks usually have perforated pages so they're easy to tear out of the book ^_^ I use the watercolor canson xl sketchbooks mostly (not the mixed media one), as the paper is thick and works well with most of my chosen mediums.
Having a sketchbook or 2 on the go at any given time has been an important part of my art process for years, I love them :D
I love using pen and ink in my sketchbook. I have a sketchbook for trying things out, a cheaper one I don't care as much about. Then I have better ones for better drawings ☺️
You can see flip through of my sketchbooks on my RUclips channel. I use them mostly for pen and ink and watercolor. I love watching you paint. You have been an inspiration to be for urban sketching!!! Thank you
Right now I prefer sketchbooks over regular sheets of watercolor or plain flat paper. My sketch books have some tooth to them, i.e. Strathmore 400 series watercolor journal versus a regular hardbound sketch book. Much of what I do I start in pencil and follow up with a fountain pen. On occasion I finish the sketch with watercolor.
I’m looking forward to the course. I use my sketchbook as a mind dumb. Lots of random fun.
It's the journey 🎨 finishing a sketchbook shouldn't be goal oriented. Art is what it is. Thank you for sharing the message that sketchbooks are different for each artist.
I sure enjoy looking at sketchbooks. Thank you.
As usual enjoyed your video very much. Always inspiring.
Wait a minute... Skillshare?? I didn't realise you were on there! *Runs over to Skillshare to go bookmark all Teoh's classes*
I have a sketchbook that I play around in, trying out new color combinations / styles / portraits / urban sketches etc. AND I also have a sketchbook that is more like a Visual Journal. I carry both, because sometimes I just want to play around with watercolors and ink and sometimes I have something specific I want to journal.
I love sketchbooks. I could have watched 20 hours of this. Thank you!
Koji morinotos orange is one of my favorite books. Teoh you should check out Jamie Hewlett’s 40th edition hardcover. It is by far my favorite book for art inspiration. You’d really like it.

So inspiring 😍 I think I need some of the books featured, too 😍
I appreciate this video! I have a few of the Etherington Bros books (plus a lot of other books... got a great collection going) and this video is helping me understand how to make better use of them.
Thanks Theo…you have brightened a thoroughly miserable day!
Hi Theo, great video, very inspiring!
Get yourself some silica gel packets and throw them in your sketchbook storage!
I love those Lorenzo sketchbooks.

I use my sketchbooks to practice and write/draw ideas

Great inspiring video. Where can i get a copy of the book "How to Think When you Draw"?
They only release reprints through Kickstarter so follow them on their blog for upcoming reprints. theetheringtonbrothers.blogspot.com/?m=1
This is brilliant :) I'm always looking for ideas for my sketchbooks. I either couldn't find some of these books on Amazon US or they're a few hundred dollars, so if you have a better source for books please let me know. Thanks!
Abe books
Thrift books

@@406annie thank you!
You could draw yourself every week, with a different hair cut each time 💇♂️
Teoh! Are there any sketchbooks for 12 year olds that like to draw from imagination :dragons ,monsters etc.Or is it betterto leave them on there own?
I'm sure there are but I don't know of any.
Nice👌
I have been trying to get an out of print book named:
The Drawing Projects: An Exploration of the Language of Drawing if anyone knows an online source please share it.
What is the name of Matthias Adolffson's book,please?
The First in Line. He has published several books www.parkablogs.com/category/tags/mattias-adolfsson
The tekkonkinkreet books are amazing! Every single drawing is an artwork in itself!
I just ordered a book from Ikeda Manabu for inspiration, it's very detail-oriented artworks, I have been in awe of his art for a while now.
As for sketchbooks I mostly draw "ugly" sketch ideas out of my mind or study specific objects/animals for my artworks. I always admire your dedication to sketchbooks, but I am too lazy for those ^^'
