Having a small sketchbook and a few pencils in your bag is a must-have if you’re an illustrator, character designer, logo designer or any kind of artist.

I’ve been carrying my sketchbooks around with me since I can remember but I always kind of encounter the same problems; the lack of the right drawing equipment, becoming nervous when attracting attention from people who start asking me what I am drawing or just ran out of empty space on the paper. I think a common problem with sketchbooks is also that you never really sketch without thinking that this book is your portfolio and everything has to be perfect; from composition to shading. This videos helped me understand how was I supposed to use my sketchbook, how much money should I spend for it and how to carry it around. I’ve also shared a few fantastic sketchbooks.

How does your sketchbook look like?
