The "Ugly" Sketchbook is a custom, handmade, genuine leather, mixed media art journal. Perfect for artists and creators looking for a unique canvas to bring their ideas to life. Each page is a blank slate, ready for your artistic expression. These sketchbooks are made of real leather so please note that sketchbook can vary slightly as far as the shade of brown they are. As you use your sketchbook the leather cover will absorb your natural oils and also be subject to scuffs and scratches (maybe even some paint or ink if you're lucky) and will become uniquely and beautifully YOURS.

These sketchbooks are a little less than 5 x 7", which is the perfect size for plein air, a small art desk and of course for traveling. They are filled with thick, drawing style paper which is suitable for dry media but also handles some light wet media as well. You can see examples of all different mediums used on this same sketchbook in Tawnie's "Ugly" sketchbook series on her Instagram. 

These "Ugly" Sketchbooks are all perfectly imperfect. Because they are handmade they each have different quirks and imperfections about them, which is what makes them perfect for starting your own "Ugly" Sketchbook journey. The first step is throwing perfectionism out of the window. Are you ready to find some creative freedom?
