Draw Your Day: An Inspiring Guide to Keeping a Sketch Journal

Sweet book but overpriced for what you get, its smaller than expected

I purchased this book after learning the basics of watercolor painting. After reading through the entire book I started making my first sketch journal. I returned from vacation with several fun photos and memories to refer to. I'm new to sketching, so this part was harder for me. But I took it slowly, adding pencil sketches, then ink using Micron pens. Next, I added some journaling about my vacation and finished using watercolor and Tombo water-soluble markers for shading. It was a blast! I added a few more pages about my vacation and am currently working on pages about my spring garden. This is addictive! Samantha's book is inspirational and contains a ton of examples and advice. I loved this book so much that I recently purchased her book, Draw Your World.I likely won't be sketch journaling like a daily diary, but more to record snippets of my experiences and use photos I've taken as references to compose them into pages. I'm fairly slow at this point so trying to keep up with a daily complete page would turn it into work for me and I want to keep it light and fun.Samantha, your books are wonderful! I can tell this is a new hobby for me that won't fade over time.

Tolles Buch, mit super Infos und Inspirationen. Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen.

Love this book - I bought Draw your World first and loved it so much I bought Draw your Day as well. Samantha Dion Baker has a wonderful way on getting you to draw as more of a way of being, to let ones creative spark come from the everyday. I have been creating each day even with some mistakes and learning to accept them in the process. Great read and knowledge helping you find your own style.

Très bon guide pour débutant

Ho trovato questo libro di grandissima ispirazione. Non bisogna aspettarsi un libro su come disegnare e dipingere, perché questo è un testo che guida alla scoperta del disegno personale, attraverso l'esercizio e l'osservazione di ciò che accade nel nostro quotidiano. L'inglese è molto scorrevole, i disegni sono fantastici. Ci sono anche indicazioni su quali penne e matite, o colori che si possono usare per creare uno sketchbook personale, un diario bello da guardare e pieno di ricordi da rivedere in un secondo momento. Partendo dalle cose più semplici: una colazione al bar, un cucciolo visto per strada, le annotazioni del tempo, dello stato d'animo attraverso disegni e colori. Lo leggi e ti viene subito voglia di cominciare ad annotare, pasticciare, incollare il biglietto del cinema, lo scontrino della pasticceria con accanto il disegno della brioche la cioccolato che hai mangiato. Un libro che è una grande sorpresa. Credo che acquisterò anche il secondo volume.
