After looking at a couple of the blogs listed, Andrea Joseph's is definitely my favorite. I really liked how she not only had a title block that looked like it would be a label on a sketchbook or on a notebook. This automatically sets the tone for the blog. She follows by saying that this is her online sketchbook. This immediately tells the viewer that this is going to show her process sketches and then the final project. I like this already because now i'm looking forward to see her train of thought.
Before i started reading her blog i just skimmed through the pictures. I liked that she has themes that she organizes in her blog. For example on the first page she has a Mexico and Spain inspired artwork and then she has many sketches of shoes. Her shoe theme is pretty cool, just the way the composition is. She has a lot of similar shoe sketches but they are all laid out differently. The way she plans her sketch with the shoe she gives the sketch a personality. Earlier with the Mexico and Spain dish, i really liked how she joked around with the drawings. She really gives a personality in her sketches.
Since her blog is based on sketches i really like how she teaches the viewer how to sketch, or teaches the viewer her 6 step process. This is a great tool for students or whoever wants to critique their own craft because she tells you.
It was interesting to me that she actually sells her sketches. I thought that was cool because by blogging about her sketches and selling them its like a gallery opening without all the hassel.
