What are Visual Diaries?
Visual Diaries (also known as process diaries, sketchbooks, process books, visual journals) are important forms of documentation in any type of creative field. They’re important for you, as a student to look back into your ideas, and to your tutor/mentor as they’ll be able to see how you got to your end work. Diaries are important too because they help give identity to you- and often will raise up marks in your studio for coherently following the studio’s course outline and teachings.
Essentially, your visual diary should be composed of the following things:
Evidence of exploration and experimentation.
Your research, primary and secondary and how they are important to your project.
Evidence of your thinking process.
Evidence that you have critically analysed the project or subject at hand.
(opt.) Your studio work, such as notes on set readings, some visual diagrams of concepts, etc.

sketchbook titles through the years, part one. i started drawing these back in college when i started using brown paper softcover sketchbooks; i kept doing it because these were the first sketchbooks i ever finished
I love my pretty sharable art journals, but I also love my messy sketchbooks, too. I use both to learn and experiment with.
i don't like to yuck people's yum but i have to say that my least favorite thing to come from the current state of Artists on the Internet is the idea of a sketchbook as something nice and pretty and shareable. like i love me a notebook full of gorgeous art don't get me wrong but that is NOT what a sketchbook is. a sketchbook is my friend who i carry around everywhere like a purse chihuahua. it is the physical manifestation of my notes app. it is the container into which i wring my brain out. it is my therapist. and most of all it is filled with absolutely terrible sketches that should never see the light of day.
Working on character designs back in 2016, I think.
If you've seen me at conventions you may have noticed I sometimes have nice little cloth-bound notebooks for sale, along with my usual scribblings. In the interest of making my illustration work pay better now that I've lost my job, they are now up in my etsy shop! They're made with lightweight sketching paper, (cream, 96gsm, medium surface) so they're great for writing and drawing.
Wait, I can't remember if I mentioned losing my job before. If not, it was about two months ago, and I can't get too down about it as I was miserable there and I do have savings. Still, if you feel the need for a new notebook, please help my savings dwindle as slowly as humanly possible by purchasing one of mine!
Recently my co-worker paid me to make her some custom books. She wanted two in the same dimensions as a lined notebook she already had, but one which had plain paper so she could write in it horizontally, and one which opened at the short edge to form a very long, thin double page spread. That one also needed heavy paper, so she could paint in it if she wanted. It was a lot of fun making something different to my usual A6 notebooks, but cutting the pages to a custom size left me with a lot of off-cuts. So, naturally, I made those into books too. I got four mini notebooks out of them, in two different sizes. (I photographed them with an A6 book for comparison.) I'll have the minis to sell at Manchester MCM later this month.
