Sketchbook Joy: How to Embrace Your Creativity and Fill Your Sketchbooks with Colour by Katie Moody

5.0

I have been a long time follower, fan, and supporter of Katie Moody. The title of this book fits so perfect with who she is as a person. Katie is a joy and her work and dedication to her craft speak for themselves.

I’ve had this book preordered since the day she announced it was available on Patreon, but I am so grateful to the publisher to get an Advanced E-Copy so I could drool over it before my copy arrives in March.

This book doesn’t disappoint. It’s filled with Katie’s thought processes, practices, suggestions, tutorials and all the ways she uses her sketchbook as a way to go through life. I’ve taken part in many of her challenges and followed along. Her concept of play is clear within these pages and you can feel her love for this book project radiating off every page.

This book is for the beginner and expert alike. That’s what I love so much about Katie’s approach. There is always something to learn, even if it is just to loosen up and explore the world around you in a sketchbook. I cannot recommend this book enough. If I could rate it higher than a 5, I would. That’s how valuable it is.
