Is Your Sketchbook Too Precious?

Sketchbooks are wonderful tools for processing information, recording inspiration, and working out ideas. Often times, when they become precious either because of the amount of money we spent to buy them or because we’re trying to make them perfect for people to look through, we miss the whole point of a sketchbook.

Your sketchbook shouldn’t be precious. You should be willing to put anything onto the pages and not worry about it. Your sketchbook is for you, not other people. It’s your place to dream to make mistakes, to ask questions, and to explore ideas.
