Part 1: Sketchbooks... on the internet

I'm always fascinated by what comes before the finely polished works of illustrators, artists and designers. I love trawling through images of sketchbooks and artists workspaces.. seeing where the inspiration bubbles from...

Julia Rothman's wonderfully inspiring blog, Book by its cover, showcases a whole heap of different (and often far too talent laden!) sketchbooks. The latest images by Ana Botezatu are particuarly beautiful... from the belly of an accordian fold moleskine book...

here's a sneak peek of some other scrummy ones too:
