Emily Robards
I am a working artist, currently attending Art college in Limerick, Ireland were I am studying printmaking. I love keeping a sketchbook. Its a great way for me to get whats in my head out of the way and onto the page. Sometimes the sketchbook I use determines the work or style of work that goes into it. I'm very picky about the sketchbook I use, at the moment Handbooks are my favorite. I have a habit of going through magazines, or conversations, and taking snippets of sentences/conversations or quotes and such and then using them as a basis for an image. Or combining both image and quote, so my work has become very illustrative. I love usiing watercolours and pens. My sketchbooks are very personal to me and are a great escape, I feel, for me anyway, that it is important that I at least write or draw something everyday, even if its just a simple doodle, its improtant to keep the mind and talent working and growing.
Red Book | My newer and larger hand-book sketchbook. We are saposed to keep a sketchbook over the summer for college. I dont care for the size of this one, and find it difficult to work in, I think i Will keep this one for college work..
Green Book | My first hand-book travelogue journel. I love the fact that they are square. I do alot of writting in my sketchbooks and they end up becoming very personal. Its umthing I like to work in to let my mind flow a bit when I am not working on college work. Most of the work in this sketchbook is very illustrative, I tend to take quoutes and such that I may hear or read, and illustrate them.
