Artist's Journal Workshop is a wonderful book for anyone looking to start a sketch journal. It's a 144-page paperback with beautifully laid out pages.
It's packed with lots of tips on finding ideas, and from there, you can discover which style suits you. This book really brings across how fun sketching can be.
There are 27 artists who share their sketch pages in this book. Some of them are Danny Gregory, Nina Johansson, Liz Steel, Lapin, Cathy Johnson herself, of course, and many more. They also share their insights.
Since this book is about journaling, the examples are mostly about illustrating what you see. It can be drawing people, places, animals or food. It's very inspiring to check out all the artists' work, even the seemingly mundane stuff look interesting when illustrated.
Highly recommended, especially to sketchbook lovers.

Ok, it was my mistake - I just looked "inside the book" at the print edition and saw a very beautiful designed book. So I expected a similar product at the kindle edition. The kindle edition is missing the inspiring layout of the printed version. The typography is lame, the picture are in very low resolution (to view them on the iPad it is awful disappointing). I regret buying the Kindle Edition. Sorry to say but the Kindle format is not yet ready to display books with some more designed layout than just text.
Update
Very good customervice from Amazon - I could return the Kindle edtion very soon.
Now I got the print edtion . 5 stars for the Amazon Return Policy

I bought this book (among others) seeking inspiration to start being creative again. And yes, this book offers lots of it. Very very beautifully designed pages with lots of tipps - ranging from introducing different types of sketchbooks, what to do with "mistakes" (unsatisfactory or botched drawings) to choosing topics such as integrating your shopping list or whatever.
The book is illustrated with journal pages from various artists... and there comes the big BUT: with a very few exceptions, these artists are very similar in style, sketches looking quite alike. (For this I detract one star. I'd have liked a bit more variation, some more abstract examples, maybe a bit more collage, etc.) Most often done in ink and watercolour, the sketches look more like proper drawings than like journal-type scratchings, very professionally done, and for someone like me, who just wants to start dabbling again, this can be very daunting and demoralizing, because they just aren't reproducable (for me).
In my mind, this book is very inspiring and beautiful; artists who want to literally step outside (...their studios) get lots of help on how to start of keep their art journal. For beginners, though, or people who haven't yet found their style and/or honed their abilities this book may be a bit too much, and also, there are no step-by-step examples or how-to exercises. On the other hand, exactly these how-to, paint-by-number things can be very frustrating to "real artists", who don't WANT to reproduce the style or a picture of someone else. So consider what you want to get out of a book like this: inspiration and tipps, or detailed help recreating and image! If it's the latter, maybe better choose another book!
