Discover the 15 reasons to use a sketchbook. A sketchbook may seem, at first glance, to be a simple notebook. But for many creative people it ends up becoming something much more complex: an archive of ideas, a visual laboratory, a space for observation and, sometimes, even a mental refuge. You don't have to be good at writing or drawing to benefit from it. Designers, photographers, writers, textile artists, teachers or anyone with a creative restlessnesscan find in the sketchbook a useful tool to think, experiment and develop ideas without pressure. As opposed to the tendency to show, publish and constantly perfect, the sketchbook proposes another relationship with creativity: more private, more intuitive and less conditioned by the final result.
