About the video: The notebook

Overview

“The notebook is an essential tool for any creative, and even a little more for a cartoonist. In my case I have taken it even a little further.

In this video lesson Aleix Gordo Hostau addresses the topic: The notebook, which is part of the Domestika online course: Artist's Sketchbook for Illustration Projects. Document your creative process to the final sketch and use your sketchbook as a personal archive.
