Benjamin Hayte sketchbook

Lines & Thoughts

Experience a sketchbook that goes beyond drawings—it’s an invitation into the heart and mind of a creative soul. Lines & Thoughts brings together 3 years of nightly sketching sessions, capturing the raw process, discipline, and passion behind traditional character design.

More than just a collection of designs, it shares the philosophy, rituals, and insights of a lifelong draftsman: the cycles of inspiration, the battle with distractions, the pursuit of personal style, and the joy of creating for oneself. It’s a guide and companion for artists, illustrators, and anyone drawn to imaginative worlds.

This self-published book, supported at 419 % by a successful Kickstarter, is loved by collectors and creators in 17 countries worldwide.

Reconnect with your creativity. Discover your own spark. Let the vibrations of imagination flow.
