A good person to ask those question is

They put together a couple sketch books I believe and has a preview of his new book.

I would probably buy it if it had stuff you already have online, as long as there was new stuff in there. While it is free for viewing online, a lot of things tend to look better when printed nicely on paper.

I'd buy it, and I think that some new stuff, or even a little handmade sketch on each of them (or for the first ones willing to buy it or answering your journal post ) could be the ideal content. I think that Jake Parker
used to operate this way...

i dunno.. if you go for selling it i don't think i would be able to buy it 'cuz i don't have credit card

pardon for the engrish" XDD

1) I say go for about 5-10 pages. (with front and back making 10-20)
2) Both, cram as many sketches as you can in them without losing too much detail, then stick in a few fullpage colored things, and/or smaller colored things alongside the sketches.
3) Unfortunately I don't know... You could print them out yourself, but that could take more ink than it'd be worth.
4/5) Both. Put in some old favorites, and make some new sketches, maybe make a few of them exclusive to the book.
6) Fuck yes. I would.
7) Not too pricey, not too inexpensive. Maybe $5-10? Depending on the quality of the books. An interesting idea might be to charge a few dollars extra for a signed, inked drawing in the book too.

Well, I can tell you that a lot of people in my graphic design courses have used lulu.com to get their books printed (graphic design portfolios, but same idea). I know they had good results.

Also, I think a mix of sketches with colored, finished pieces would be a good idea. Show the process for some of your pictures.

My opinion on stuff you have online being in the book is simply this: If someone prints out something of yours they save off the net, it will be far less quality than something you sent to a printer. The files you send to a professional printer would of course be bigger than the smaller pics people post online.

=StevenSanchez, another artist I watch just recently came out with a sketch book. You could get advice from him, maybe?

Visit my page if you feel like it.

He's what I can tell you after doing this for 6 years both with a group and solo

1) How many pages are they usually? Digest sized 28-30 (15-16 full spread pages) pages total is a good sized book.. too many and they are hard to bind if you are doing the self publishing kinkos kinda thing

2) What kinda stuff goes in them? Full color, pencil sketches? I personally love seeing process and sketches cause I see tons of clean up online but some nice clean up in the book is sweet too... unless you are gonna roll like cheeks-74 and then go full on Finished works and that can be hot too

3) Who do you use to print it? There are a ton of companies online that print now Id talk to some guys who have books you own and ask them who they went through for good quality.. otherwise you can always go to kinkos and it'll cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of 5-7$ per book

4) Should I draw brand new shit for it? That's always a nice perk

5)Should I put in stuff I have online? Would that even sell, picture anyone can get for free online?
Even though you can just look stuff up online it is always nice to have a tangible book of someones work you can carry with you and just thumb through, I love being able to just sit and flip through pages of great art by one person and I can have my computer hooked up to internet everywhere I go nor do I bring it everywhere.

OR both maybe? Half and Half? this is a good direction

6) Would anyone even BUY it? I think I would pick up a copy for sure.. I dig your stuff and would really like to see it in a nice collection

7) What would be a good price?15-25$ depending on the quality of printing and what kind of book it is..

hope this helps

CHALLENGE ME TO A DANCE BATTLE WILL YOU?!?

You should totally make this! I would so buy!

1) Any amount of pages. 20-forever.
2) Anything really, usually mostly sketches with some color stuff in their if the artist wanted to include that. I usually see a 'sketch' book OR a 'finished art' book. The sketch ones only have a few finished things in it, the finished one being all finished with maybe the pencils for the finished. Everything is up to the artist there!
3) lulu.com is good for that and cheap
4) just a mass collection of sketches from the past however long is what's usually in it, bonus exclusive material cool but not necessary
5) online stuff is fine too, people like having it in their hands. if they were gonna pay you anyway for your stuff they probably don't care if they've seen some of it before
6) yes
7) depending on if it's staple bound or perfect bound, color or black and white, and page number, anywhere from 10-45 bucks (I've totally paid those amounts for the mass of sketchbooks I buy at comicons and online every year)
