Creative visual journals, in other name sketchbooks, are a personal space to build the ideas that take form. Basically, sketchbooks offer us an area that can be used to dig into themes, document memories, play with new techniques and develop new ideas. To sum up, pages that we are completely free to use as we want. A visual journal can contain anything. Rough ideas, artworks in progress, finished artworks, typography trials, collages and sometimes notes, questions, reminders – even a market list – etc.
Creative Visual Journals and Their Owners
Sketchbooks are used as a part of the creative process. By transferring the ideas that come to our minds through sketches, we watch that idea come to life in our minds and take us to different paths. Sketchbooks tell a lot about whoever owns them. From how we draw the line, our color palette selection, our choice of materials, and the layout of the pages, every detail tells something about our personality and interests. In this selection, we’ll be visiting the pages from sketchbooks that reveal the different styles of three different artists.
US-based Cuban artist Darian Mederos uses bubble wrap to hide his hyper-realistic portraits just like our civilization uses plastic to protect organic materials.
Gitte Maria Möller is an illustrator based in South Africa, Cape Town. Drawing on many different fields such as ancient mythology, religious manuscripts and iconography, prayer paintings, mang, and early video games, Gitte’s works are loaded with heavy symbolism and archetypes.
