Draw Your Day An Inspiring Guide to Keeping a Sketch Journal

This book is so inspiring and beautiful. Even though I am an experienced illustrator, I learned a lot from this book. The chapter on inspiration was such a great read for me. I found myself relating to a lot of what she wrote — we both have two kids and it can be difficult finding time to draw! She also talks about the different materials she uses and other techniques to incorporate into your sketch journal. Just looking at the little watercolors she has throughout the book make me want to paint. I adore this book. Recommended By Rose H., Powells.com
