Sketchbook Pages – Week 3

I’ve had Neapolitan Cake on my mind lately so I thought it would be fun to use that as inspiration for a sketchbook page.

I also have lots of art, design, illustration supplies and projects on my mind with the first few classes already behind me. Having four classes is keeping me quite busy, so I didn’t spend too much time on this page. I just wanted to capture a few simple ideas on a mock notebook page.

I previously mentioned this Sketchbook Delight class I’m taking on line, which generated some interest in the comments and email discussions. If you’re looking for a drawing, illustration, or sketchbook class to jumpstart your creative mojo, I highly recommend looking into this class. The instructor, Alisa Burke, is an amazing artist, who creates the most fabulous art, in my opinion. I love her laid-back attitude and creative style, which definitely keep me motivated to experiment with a sketchbook and tools to find my own style.

  1. Looks great Terri! I love especially the first page with colours and all the writing there! You make me want to do sketch journal! x Teje

    1. Thanks so much Stephanie! It’s really hard to share these sketchbook pages in such a public way, so it means a lot to me to hear your sweet comments and feedback. Every time I set out to do a page, it’s an experiment and I usually don’t know where I’m headed. Thank you again!

  2. Love your pages so much – the cake one… all of the added details with the white pen really make everything pop! The colours on your ‘classes’ page is wonderful and I love all of the text. Beautiful pencil sketch too – did you take these photo’s with your new camera cos they are really detailed and clear. Beautiful work 🙂

    1. Thanks Shell! I found the most perfect white pen to add those extra pops – so fun! I’m also getting used to how my handwriting looks ;p Believe it or not, I took these pictures with my iPhone since it’s quicker and easier to upload the photos to my blog. Still trying to figure out how to use my new camera!

  3. Your Neapolitan cake sketch page is fantastic! You spend so much time on the detail, it’s wonderful!

    I see in your second sketch, you drew a Canon digital camera, which one do you have? I’m also getting a new camera soon, I’d love to know which one you got.

    Take care, Cheryl

    1. Thanks very much Cheryl! I had a lot of fun with these pages. Once I bought a white ink pen, I knew that would be the last and best detail to add.I bought a Canon EOS Rebel T2i with the lens kit. I absolutely love it, although I don’t know how to use it very well yet. I feel so official with such a “nice” camera!
