The Art of the Sketchbook

For every commercial work released by an artist, countless doodles and sketches remain in sketchbooks, unseen by all but a select few. It is a rare treat to see an artist’s looser, more playful experiments. These early drafts and creative diversions can reveal new facets of the artist’s process, and often constitute a body of work just as valuable as what the artist deems worthy of the public eye.
