Did you know that we are based in Otley, just outside of Leeds, in West Yorkshire? That is where we make all our sketchbooks with love from sustainable sources. Here is a peek of some of the range we produce - a wide variety for every artist. Also we want to take this opportunity to do a mega shout out to you amazing lot in the Artgecko community. Your artworks continually blow us away, every single day and we love seeing how you use our books 💚 Thank you for being GECK-TACULAR!! #SketchbookCommunity #ArtGeckoSketch #SupportSmallBusiness #YorkshireArtist #MadeInYorkshire #UKArt #Sketchbook #CreativeProcess #ArtDaily #InspireCreativity #DrawingDaily #artgeckosketchbook #unboxing

These sheets are rather iconic in the world of Artgecko. Not only are they super green and have a textured Gecko feel, adding to the textile quality that Artgecko sketchbooks have but they also are mega useful when creating artwork! When creating your next piece of work, we recommend removing the sheet to place behind the page that you are working on. This adds another layer of protection to the rest of your sketchbook, just in case any spills or accidents happen. Wishing you all the best from us at Artgecko Sketchbooks. We hope that you are all great and keeping creative during cosy season 🦎 #SketchbookArt #SketchbookLove #DrawingJournal #SketchbookInspiration #IllustrationArt #SketchbookChallenge #DoodleArt #CreativeJournaling #InkSketch #ArtisticJourney #SketchbookCommunity #MixedMediaArt #PenSketch #WatercolorSketchbook #SketchbookPages

Autumn is the perfect time to get your sketchbook out and capture nature’s beauty, and the right techniques can really make your drawings stand out! Here’s a breakdown of some fantastic methods that will take your observational sketches to the next level. ✏️🍂 Circulism: Draw tiny overlapping circles, almost like loose scribbles, to create soft, flowing textures. This is great for organic forms like leaves, clouds, or skin. The more layers you add, the darker and richer the texture becomes—ideal for avoiding harsh lines and giving your sketch a natural look. Hatching: This technique uses closely spaced parallel lines to create shading. The closer the lines, the darker the shading appears. Hatching is perfect for building depth in curved surfaces like branches or stones. You can easily control the intensity by adjusting line spacing. Cross-Hatching: Take hatching a step further by layering lines at different angles. Cross-hatching is brilliant for adding deep shadows and rich textures, making it perfect for sketching rough surfaces like tree bark, rocks, or fur. The more layers you add, the more textured your drawing will feel. Stippling: Involves using tiny dots to create shading and texture. The closer the dots, the darker the area. Stippling is perfect for fine details like pinecones, petals, or subtle shadows in delicate subjects. While time-consuming, it produces incredibly detailed results. Blending: Smooth transitions between light and shadow by gently smudging with your finger, blending stump, or tissue. It works wonders for creating soft gradients and realistic shading on objects like leaves or pebbles. Just take care not to over-blend, as it can blur important details. Each of these techniques brings something unique to your artwork. Combine them to create richly textured, layered pieces that capture the complexity of nature’s forms. Happy sketching! 🦎🍁 #SketchingTechniques #AutumnSketching #ObservationalDrawing #BlendingAndShading #SketchbookArt #SketchbookLove #DrawingJournal #DailySketch #SketchbookInspiration #IllustrationArt #DoodleArt #SketchbookCommunity #MixedMediaArt #ArtBook #WatercolorSketchbook #SketchbookPages #artgeckosketch

Behold the amazing @lady_doodle.bug 's contribution to The Great GeXchange! Her piece is called "The Macabre" and was created in the Storm Grey section, found within the Mixed Papers Shady Gecko Sketchbook 🦎 We asked Amy what inspired her to create this artwork and she explained: "I don't actually have a lot of hobbies, more a vibe that leads to collecting, homemaking, creating, and so on. I love to read and stargaze, I find the universe fascinating and the magick that comes with it. The feather and flower represent my collecting of pretty things, I actually have a jar of feathers collected over the years. I love candles and the atmosphere they create, and for those who know me or have visited my Insta page, I really enjoy drawing skulls! There's something about a skull - it's a piece of someone, a story, a memory in physical form, and that fascinates me. I love the anatomy of them, they're so enjoyable to draw, and when I imagined all of those things together, this was the result." She created this piece using pastel pencils and aren't those highlights and tones so very mystical?! 💚 Make sure to head over to her page and give her a follow! Her work is truly GECK-TACULAR! Unsure of what the Great GeXchange is? Well, think chain letters but with a sketchbook! We sent out a sketchbook to be created inside and then passed along to a variety of artists around the UK. We had no control over the book, until it was full and returned back to Artgecko HQ. Make sure to have a look at our first pinned post to view the full reveal video. Also, whilst on the topic, make sure to keep your eyes peeled, for we currently have some making their rounds! You never know, the book may even land on your doorstep. 👀 #thegreatgexchange #artgeckosketch #artgeckosketchbook #Sketchbook #artexchange #exchange #sharingart #artproject #mixedmedia #madeinyorkshire #tattooartist #illustrator #designer #artists #britishmade #tonedpaper #Hobbies

Shout out to @noart_noheart for this incredible portrait that is featured in our latest Great GeXchange! 🦎 Ally is a tattooist by trade but when not creating artwork on skin, Ally is a fan of pencil, coloured pencil, acrylic paint, oil paint, and markers to create artwork with! We asked Ally to tell us more about the inspiration behind this piece and this is what they had to say! "It kind of symbolises/represents the feeling of creative flow when I'm drawing or painting." How cool is that?! Make sure to follow Ally at @noart_noheart and of course stay tuned for more Artgecko goodness 💚 #thegreatgexchange #artgeckosketch #artgeckosketchbook #Sketchbook #artexchange #exchange #sharingart #artproject #mixedmedia #madeinyorkshire #tattooartist #illustrator #designer #artists #britishmade #tonedpaper #Hobbies

DnD fans, here is something for you! @makeshift_art246 created this GECK-TACULAR piece in the Great GeXchange Round 2 that is dedicated to one of her favourite hobbies 💚 When we asked Anna what inspired her to create this piece in the book she said: "The inspiration for this piece was my beloved DnD character, Lotor. When I received the book, I had just levelled him up and was inspired to draw him. One of the main parts of DnD is creating a character sheet, so that's what I created for this! A custom character sheet for Lotor that shows his stats at that level." Tell us, if you received the Great GeXchange Sketchbook, what would your response to the prompt "Hobbies" be? 👇 #thegreatgexchange #artgeckosketch #artgeckosketchbook #Sketchbook #artexchange #exchange #sharingart #artproject #mixedmedia #madeinyorkshire #tattooartist #illustrator #designer #artists #britishmade #tonedpaper #Hobbies

Traditional and digital artist @marri.go.round / @marri.go.arts created this piece within The Great GeXchange Round 2 Book. It was made with a mixture of Gouache paints and coloured pencils. When we asked Mari what the piece means to her, she said "I just thought about hobbies and general and things that feel like comfy safe space," and doesn't it visually ooze that message?! Cozy, comfy and safe 💚 Brilliant work Mari!

📣 THE NEXT GEXCHANGE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING! 📣 Last week, we announced that we are doing another Great GeXchange, but this one is a Leeds only version. The reason for this we hear you ask? We are actually based only slightly up the road from Leeds, in a place called Otley (where all our sketchbooks are made). Therefore we wanted to do a local GeXchange, with the Artgecko Community that is on our doorstep. We cannot wait to see what happens in this one - just like all our other ones! Shout out to the Leeds lot who are already on board 💚 Are you an artist who wants to take part in a GeXchange, but are not a Leeds based artist? Never fear! We may have another one that's doing the rounds... in fact, its currently somewhere near Brighton 👀🎉 We are always looking for new artists to take part, so if you want to, make sure to send us a DM for more info 🦎 #thegreatgexchange #artgeckosketch #artgeckosketchbook #Sketchbook #artexchange #exchange #sharingart #artproject #mixedmedia #madeinyorkshire #leeds #leedsleedsleeds #yorkshireartists #leedsbasedartists #mailart #postalart #chainletter

It's World Calligraphy Day! Let's celebrate with a calligraphy piece by the wonderful @elettr 🔥 Ellie creates edgy blackletter calligraphy in a way the turns the letter into artwork of it's own!

We didn't realise that Charli was such a fan 💚 "Brat Girl Summer" is all about breaking the rules. Here's how to do that with your sketchbook: ✅ Doodle Everywhere: Scribble outside the lines, in the margins. Let loose! ✅ Use Weird Media Choices: Draw with coffee, makeup, or whatever random materials you’ve got lying around. ✅ Spontaneous Sketches: Draw whatever comes to mind, no planning allowed. Just go with the flow. ✅ Mess Up on Purpose: Add silly moustaches or graffiti to your finished pieces. ✅ Create Chaos: Make a page in your sketchbook that’s loud, messy, and anti-aesthetic. ✅ Mix It Up: Blend styles or media types that don’t usually go together. Or even channel that memory of your art teacher when they told you that you used too much paint... well in this case, more is MORE! HA! Told you Mrs Johnson!... sorry, had a memory poop up out of nowhere... Moving on from that... Who says art has to be perfect? It’s time to show your sketchbook some serious "Brat Girl Summer" attitude! Can't wait to see what you guys get up to. Don't forget to tag us in your creations 🦎 @charli_xcx #charlixcx #brat #bratsummer #bratgirlsummer #ArtgeckoSketchbooks #ArtgeckoSketch #Sketchbook #SketchbookDrawing #SketchbookProject #ArtSketchbook #SketchbookArtist #SketchbookArt #BritishMade #MadeInBritain #MadeInYorkshire

Absolutely breath-taking work by @pamela.goodchild who created this in The Great GeXchange Round 2 💚 This piece was created in the Desert sand section of the sketchbook and Pamela's media of choice was coloured crayons. Pamela was an illustrator but is now a portrait artist, and what a talent she has! When we asked her about the piece she said, "My inspiration was my daughter's wedding. She and the flowers were truly stunning." Amazing work! We are blown away by the work in all our Great GeXchanges and hope that you guys are too. Comment below if you are enjoying seeing the work from the books 👇 We are about to launch the Great GeXchange Leeds Edition! If you are a Leeds based artist and want to contribute, send us a DM!

📣 CALLING ALL LEEDS BASED ARTISTS! 📣 Artgecko Sketch needs you! To celebrate it being Yorkshire Day today, we are officially announcing our plans for a Leeds based Great GeXchange! As we are based in Otley, near Leeds (where we design and produce all our sketchbooks), we are very passionate about Yorkshire Day. This day was created to celebrate everything Yorkshire therefore, why not celebrate with us and send us a message! 🦎 If you are a Leeds based artist, we want to get in touch with you! We want to send an Artgecko Sketchbook around Leeds and celebrate the creative community within Leeds, all in one book. Fancy getting your hands on this version of the book? Send us a message right now! Unfamiliar with this project? Think of The Great GeXchange as chain mail, but with a sketchbook. We send the book out to an artist, they then create work in the book and send it onto an artist of their choice. We only have one rule about this book however - to take part, you must be a Leeds based artist. Feel free to take a look at our first pinned post to see our most recent responses within the Great GeXchange! Want to find out more and happen to be in Leeds today? Natasha from the team is spreading the message and recruiting artists in person, if you happen to see her on the go, why not catch her for a chat! Hope you all have a fantastic Yorkshire Day everyone and don't forget, if you want to take part, just send us a message 🙌💚 #thegreatgexchange #artgeckosketch #artgeckosketchbook #Sketchbook #artexchange #exchange #sharingart #artproject #mixedmedia #madeinyorkshire #yorkshireday #leeds #leedsleedsleeds #yorkshireartists #leedsbasedartists

‘Tokyo Drifter’ by @rutheternal created with Prismacolour pencils. Interestingly for this Great GeXchange, we allowed our artists to pick what coloured paper they wanted to draw on. This is because the book that we chose to do this version of the project in was the Mixed Shades Shady Sketchbook that include four different paper colours! This meant that the order that the artists appear in this book, do not chronologically correlate to the order that they received the book in. Here is a brilliant example - @rutheternal was our last artist, however she actually appears first in the book! What a way to start the book off too with this mega slick and colourful car piece. Ruth explains, "as the subject for the project was ‘Hobbies’, my hobby as such is going to car shows, I love cars…The vehicles, the venues, and occasionally the people! I am inspired by cool shots of cars, and chose to recreate one that isn’t my car…" So so so good!! Ruth is a tattoo artist based in Dorking, Surrey and she works at @eternaltattoos Want to see more of the book? Take a look through to our first pinned post, where you get to see a full sketchbook flick through 🙌 For those who are new here and unfamiliar with this project - Last year, we sent out this book to an artist who created a piece of work in response to our prompt. They then sent the book onwards to and artist of their choice, who did the same. Think chain mail but with a sketchbook!

It's the weekend, let's have a boogie - or maybe an Air Guitar in the case of @artbypmw 's contribution to The Great GeXchange Round 2! This piece is called "Roll Over Bear-thoven" and was created with many lovely pastel pencils ✏ When we asked Paul about the inspo behind this piece, he said, "I like bears and AC/DC, so I put the two together." What a combo! For more, in Paul's words, "Silly bears and silly commentary" make sure to give him a follow, if you don't already 😄 Want to see more of the book?

Let's cast our minds back to the beginning of the great GeXchange Round 2. Do you remember we did a call out asking for the first person to respond to our post get's to start the book off?

"It so relies on art still!" In our latest episode of Geck T'Know, we interviewed @lazyobit who had a lovely chat with us about all sorts of topics! In this clip, @lazyobit is telling us about when he got into creating commercial artwork for companies and large organisations. It's such a fascinating topic and not often talked about, as specifics about this type of working are often under non-disclosure agreements. If you want to learn more about this and everything else that we talked about during the podcast, you can watch the full podcast on YouTube, or have a listen to it on Spotify, Amazon Music or anywhere else that you may find your podcasts! Or just head to the link in our bio 👀 If you didn't know, @lazyobit is a Brighton based artist and co-editor of @gumsandtongue, as well as being involved in @graffiators.

Here are a couple more photographs of THE MIGHTY GREAT GEXCHANGE SKETCHBOOK! 🙌 The first photograph features work by the legendary @lazyobit who has named his piece "My Natural State" and describes it as; "There's a representation of myself in the one man tent at night with my toes poking out that's purposefully unclear as to whether it's a perfect snooze or a head buried hiding. No other people around, which I prefer whilst hiking/camping, but everything is characterised as if it has a personality, an emotion and capability for a conscious interaction with myself. Most are happy and express happiness to me but not all of them. Are they lulling me to sleep and proudly watching over me or happy and smug they have put me into hiding? Again, it's purposefully unclear and open to interpret by the viewer." Alongside that and further conceptual links to historical folklore, he describes it as a "stupid cartoon" 🎨 Within this photo flick through, you also get to see more of the adorned front cover of the book, with every artist's sticker or signature. Even a peek of the stunning envelope! 💚 Want to see more of the book?

Even the envelope is GECK-TACULAR!!!! During the passing of the Great GeXchange Round 2, our artists took it upon themselves to adorn the envelope that carries the precious GeXchange book. Just take a look at that?! Now, we couldn't not share it 🦎 Are you new here and have no idea what we are on about and why a sketchbook brand is showing off an evelope? Well, last year, we sent out an A4 Shady Mixed Tones Sketchbbok book to a UK based artist, who created a piece of work in response to our prompt (hobbies). They then sent the book onwards to an artist of their choice, who did the same. Think chain mail but with a sketchbook 💌 Now it's full, and we have it back!

How about some mid week creative inspiration, just for you GECK-TACULAR lot 🦎 🖌 Try mark making with a fork instead of a paint brush. 📓 Turn your sketchbook sideways and create some shapes. Then rotate the page back and keep on sketching. 🎨 Instead of coloured pencils, try inks or even a different type of pen like highlighters from the back of your drawer. 🌳 Go outside and get some texture rubbings from nature to doodle on top of. 📐 Instead of worrying about keeping your lines straight, embrace the wiggle! Make a sketch that would normally be very precise but only use wiggly lines! Got any of your own that you want to share? Share your in the comments! The goofier, the better 💚 #artgeckosketch #inspiration #sketchbookart #creativeblock #handdrawn #sketch #drawing #sketchbook #madeinbritain #madeinyorkshire
