What Makes A Good Sketchbook?

I really enjoyed the sketchbook presentation as it gave me an insight on other illustrators methods of working.
The mains things that I will take away from the sketchbook talk is

• Not to worry too much about how each page looks in your sketchbook, you should be messy!
• Be experimental - try different media and shapes, sizes and colours 
• Draw quickly - don't over think your drawings
• Draw from real life
• Draw from photos
• Draw from imagination
• Draw everyday

  James Jean's Sketchbook

  I love all of the colours and shapes in James Jean's work, partucarily the way the sketchbook isn't a final piece, but in some ways can often look better than the final piece!
  For the visual language module, I have chosen to explore the theme of circus and fun fair as I feel that this will enable me to explore both structures and the human form.
