The book "An Illustrated Life" collects clippings and sketchbook mainly descriptions of their signatories over the use of their personal sketchbook. Mostly it concerns with the underwriters to professional illustrators, but also partly just "ordinary people" who represent their lives in a sketchbook. The sketchbook so moved me out of the corner "artwork" in the direction "colorful diary" and dispelled the doubts about my character arts. The images offer a hand great inspiration, on the other hand makes the entire book to draw courage and also very, very useless, private or whatsoever thoughts forever in a sketchbook to capture.
My sketchbook has since the purchase of "An Illustrated Life" at least already filled 4 pages. ; O)
