The sketchbook is a special place for an artist. It’s like a playground—a place where they can try out new techniques, imagery, and generate new ideas and ways of working.

Gabriel Picolo’s Fun Sketchbook Art from 2015
He started off with the 365 day doodle project and quickly became known for these black-ink drawings of Anime and video game characters. But now the illustrator from Brazil, Gabriel Picolo, has stated that 2015 would be his most colorful year.

New! 3D Illusion Drawings by Alessandro Diddi
Alessandro Diddi’s anamorphic art is not photorealistic, and that’s a good thing because the rough outlines and shading keeps our minds set that these are pencil drawings, which ends up accentuating the illustrated characters as if they are coming to life from sheets of paper.

Selected here are nine drawings made with Faber-Castell fiber-tip pens from various sketchbooks. 1. Muralt, Jared. […]
Strange Sketchbook Art of Dogs, Ducks…
Note: Contains nudity. Are those rubber ducks coming out of the heads of conjoined twins? Anton Vill’s drawings are fascinatingly bizarre, and they look like they could fit into Hieronymus Bosch’s weird and elaborate art world. Vill’s work is open to interpretation, because only some of it hints what is really going on, like: “Bath,” […]
Striking Infrared Photography
All of Daniel Zvereff’s art series display photographs accompanied with sketchbook notes and drawings. Although his pictures alone are beautiful depictions of locations like Greenland, Iceland, Canada, Alaska…, the notebook images are a diary of his travels providing us more insight. His initial interest was to document the arctic and sub-arctic regions of six countries, showing […]
