Alex T Smith is Addicted To Drawing.

Recent recruit, Euan Cook’s new online portfolio is now live

Adam’s sketchbooks are part diary, part scrapbook, part notebook but above all else he uses them for the pure pleasure of drawing.

Sketchbooks are great fun. It’s a playground for your mind and your pen to dance around together

I use sketchbooks to write down ideas, sketch characters, make shopping lists and keep my daughter amused on train journeys.

My sketchbooks are an unruly mixture of ideas and observational sketches with a scattering of scrawled phone numbers, shopping lists, snatches of random conversation

Over recent years, my work has gradually developed into a pretty neat and tidy style of illustration. It is a way of creating pictures that feels natural to me.
