I have 4 sketchbooks on the go at the moment and one does tend to be mostly balck and white, but I call it my 'figuring out book'. It contains mostly sketches working out technical solutions or initial ideas and then notes and lists - all done using graphite pencil or black fine liner. Scrappy, quick and just for my reference.
I love this! I do similar with a “black and white” sketchbook. Taking away the additional task of thinking about colour theory, makes it much easier to focus on line, shape and marks.
I love the textures and mark making on your pages!
It really helps doesn’t it! Such a simple thing but if I’m ever feeling in a bit of a funk, or rubbish or even that my work is rubbish. It’s the sketchbook I get out first and make some form of something on a page! It’s very cathartic!
Thank you! Working on an A4 as well helps, go big right?!

Nice! I love that title, that is exactly what they are for I think! The scrappy the better!
