I may have been a bit sickly past few days but hey at least this Jerk of a sketchbook is finished!

Seawhite of brighton is a good sketchbook, but Markers still bleed through. Even when scanning ink however does not.

So its still a good brand. As for pencil grit, I mostly doodled with a regular ink pen, so I can't really say much about that. It does take marker color well if you've seen my other posts, but I edit them with color filters so they're more accurate to the characters digital refsheets.

Stocked up on my fave sketchbooks (seawhite of brighton 140gsm a5 soft my beloveds) and it's. Good.

Drop-in drawing – today’s crop

The last one there is smaller, so photographed from closer, but it was also on better paper – lovely grainy Seawhite cartridge, while the rest were on the smoother, lighter paper supplied by the generous sponsors. I’m always torn between wanting to feel the good paper under my pencil and being reluctant to fill my sketchbook with too many unfinished duds. Or finished duds, for that matter. Also the supplied sheets are bigger than any sketchbook I can carry with me, and space is generally conducive to vigorous, adventurous drawing. So I tend to keep the sketchbook back till I’m warmed up, though short poses can cancel out the benefit.

what kind of sketchbook do you currently use? it seems to hold watercolor really well! (and im struggling in choosing my own bc so many are only landscape and that orientation bothers me to draw in, feels less natural ;u;)

at the moment i just use th cheap floppy A5 seawhite of brighton ones. they take a month to fill up for me rn which is okie bc they cost like £1. my current one is a recycled one wiht a dark blue cover. before i used seawhite of brighton travel journal, its got similar mixed media paper but a bit thicker and i recommend that one. ill probably get one next maybe (i buy it on artdiscount). they hold watercolour p ok, good for sketching. you cant layer super much and it tends to lighten a bit as it dried when it doesnt on watercolour paper. but mostly its ok n good and i like using them

VW Beatle at Beach Dubbin 2022

Went to Beach Dubbin in Portsmouth with my Dad over the summer, and decided to do an illustration from a photo I took of one of the cars I saw there in my mixed media sketchbook (personal project). This is in a Seawhite of Brighton sketchbook (fairly heavy cartridge paper, ideal for mixed media) using markers, pencil and fineliners.

How to save your brain from being eaten by AI (maybe): keep a sketchbook

At the beginning of May I started bookmarking photographers who are using AI in interesting ways, to add to my Instagram collection of digital art references (#artdirectionneversleeps). Later that month I did my own first experiments using NightCafe to visualise ideas for a client. It was entertaining and frustrating, partly because of my lack of prompt skills, and partly because the "styles" you could apply to your "artwork" looked exactly like bad fantasy art from the 1980s.

However, by June, photographers I was working with were using Midjourney to conceptualise setups – still with a bit of that tacky SciFi book cover feel, but it was proving genuinely useful to talk about how sets might be designed, for instance. By July, I was seeing film directors use AI for pitching storyboards, and my lovely students at Condé Nast College of Fashion and Design using it for presentation mock-ups.

That's just three months. From AI being a "what?" to becoming a completely logical, natural part of the image-making process, for at least some parts of the creative industries. The speed of change is head-spinning. And this is just the beginning.

Meanwhile, also in May, I was teaching at CNC on a really fun module about Brand Identity Design. Part of this involved the students keeping a sketchbook, to explore and develop their ideas. One of my lectures was about WHY people keep sketchbooks, and I illustrated several points with quotes from designers, architects and artists, and pages from my own sketchbooks from waaaaay back in the day.

Because WBITD, when I was an art student, I kept sketchbooks constantly. Not only was it a course requirement, for me it was also a way to stave off boredom and depression: it's hard to think negative thoughts when your brain is absorbed in analysing the curves of a hand or a coffee cup or a flower. When my best friend and I used to Interrail around Italy, I would draw our cafe tables and the local streets, and we'd get rewarded with extra drinks and desserts by kindly waiters.

Somewhere around the mid 90s I gave up sketching, partly because life got more hectic, and partly because smartphones got invented. When Emma and I started the BID course this summer, it had been a very long time indeed since I cracked open a sketchbook. And, erm, even though I did buy one – a lovely, spiral-bound, hard covered book with wonderful heavyweight paper, from Seawhite of Brighton – it took me another few months to start using it.

Two things pushed me into finally starting: firstly, it's #drawugst and I thought I should try a drawing a day, every day, during August. I started on Tuesday, August 1st, with a graphite pencil sketch of my aloe plant. I did it in semi-darkness, around 9pm, and my hand-eye coordination felt a but rusty, but following the heavy curves of the plant was satisfying.

On Wednesday I drew fallen agapanthus blossoms, playing with coloured marker pens (of which I have a ridiculously huge collection, almost never used). This was a reminder of the importance of not trying to control the end result while you're sketching. Because you just can't.

Yesterday evening I scribbled our messy after-dinner table. I used the graphite pencil, a Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth charcoal pencil, and an Edding 1225 calligraphy pen – and blackberries. The fruit, not the redundant communication device. Blackberry juice is a fabulous art material – it gives this beautiful purple inky result, and it's such a pleasure to smear all over the paper. I'd picked the berries earlier this evening on Wormwood Scrubs, just to add to the satisfaction of the whole experience. (And this morning I made almond milk smoothies with the rest of them.)

The other thing which made me finally restart a sketchbook after all this time is AI. I can see that it is just going to get bigger, more powerful, and more indispensable in my industry. I'm not going to worry about losing my job to a bot (I don't have "a job", anyhow), but I am concerned about what it will do to our creativity.

When you use one tool extensively it starts to train your brain, you develop habits and shortcuts. It's one thing to have tricks for making the most of Photoshop, or to have routines when you set up an InDesign document. But when you're trying to generate ideas you need to keep an open mind. To look at things from different angles. To look again, look harder. Try wacky ideas. Draw with your food. Stick things onto the pages. Doodle. Take a line for a walk. Write notes to self. Be creative. Be messy. Be human.

Today, I decided to look outside the box and imagine something new for this workshop.

I was moved by the props the model was on inside my mind. firstly I imagined my model was instead of a chair sitting on her throne and was the queen on her throne. My classmate had a stuffed snake the day before so I imagined it had been crowing around her body. I also changed two more when she wearing her mask she was like a superwoman or Wonder Woman wristband she got. there was another one when she was lying on her bed and watching TV on her bed of the sculpture statue head.

 improvements for today 

I need to use implement tools more spontaneous which means  

Using back of brush as a pen tools for more experiences because I don't used on the lesson also better to learn something new as a reminder. 

I was find my strength to splashing since I study at college art and design and started year 1 I'm working with ink. My favorite things with ink is plashing or mixing with soap to make a bubble effects. 

I was using water, black water resistance ink from seawhite thick fan brush and thin fun brush  

People used flat brush to flat surface I wanted to I usually prefer fun prush like straight edged like pen or calligraphy pen and blending with flat brush.  

I noticed I don't working with ink more of ten even if I enjoy so I need to learn the ink history more if I had time. 

See what is happening with things.
