Hi friend 🌸 I'm Elaine, an illustrator and surface designer who loves using gouache, watercolor, and colored pencils. Over the years of using sketchbooks, I've gone through quite a number, but none have ever been the perfect match. Most sketchbooks have forgettable covers, and few have great paper for multimedia illustration.

That's why I dreamed up a sketchbook that is not only pretty enough to sit on the bookshelf next to photo albums but also versatile enough to bring along on travels. ✨

“This sketchbook is so obviously created by a fellow artist--every detail has been so lovingly thought out. As a fan of Elaine's artworks--this book feels like an extension of her art. The cloth cover, the subtly shimmery embossed title of "Drawing Diary" instead of "Sketchbook" so enchanting, complete with a pale pink ribbon to hold your place. But what matters most to me is the quality and substance of the pages themselves and this sketchbook delivers. I purchased this intending to use it for gouache painting and the paper held up fabulously, not becoming wavy once water was introduced. I used washi tape for my edges and the tape was able to peel off without lifting paper (AMAZING). I LOVE that the paper is square as that is my personal preference for creating works (makes it so easy to share on social as well, a bonus) Most impressively to me is that the book lays totally flat and the paint isn't visible from the other side, so I can create works on BOTH sides of the page. All together, aesthetically this book is so magical I feel inspired to fill up every last page.” -Meag L. @meagartista
“BTW I tried your sketchbook today. I was afraid to try it because it's so pretty and full of blank pages. But I love it. The water sits on top enough (of the paper) that it creates lots of watery marks and I love that about wc. There isn't much in the way of 50% cotton in the market and I think you might be onto something…” -Julie Maida @juliemaida.creative
