It is a wonderful thing to look at an object and think it beautiful, to think about it, to hold it in your mind, and then to say, I will draw it, and then work on it until it is reproduced. Of course, however, this is no reason why I should feel so satisfied with my work that I should not need to improve it. But the way to do better later is to do it today.
as well as possible, and then naturally there will be progress tomorrow.

WHAT IS A SKETCHBOOK?
Sketchbooks are notebooks used for sketching, drawing, and taking notes. They are a very common tool among artists, designers, illustrators, and architects, as they serve as a free space to explore ideas, practice techniques, and develop creative concepts. Sketchbooks can vary in size and paper type, depending on the user's preferences, and are used for both quick drafts and more detailed studies.
In this course, students will learn how to make their own handmade sketchbook, experiencing the process of creating a notebook from the ground up. After completion, field classes will be the next step, allowing participants to practice drawing techniques exploring materials such as graphite, watercolor and colored pencils.
