Sketchbook can be a compilation of random notes without any structure. Or, it can look like a real illustrated book about your life, trips, events and impressions. If you ever wanted to create a sketchbook of this second type, this class is definitely for you!

My favourite thing in the world is to visit interesting places and draw them in my sketchbook. When I travel, I want to capture all my impressions and make them visible and clear to other people. This layout techniques allows me to do that! I can't wait to share my experience with you.

In this class I'll teach you how to improve your sketchbooks with easy layout tricks. We will analyze different layout types: spread, frames, grid and pattern, and I'll show you the points and advantages of every type. Also you'll see timelapses of my sketching process and get acquainted with my approach.

In the end of the class together we'll create 5 layout concepts, then transfer them inside of sketchbook and fill with real drawings.
