The sketchbook is a privileged space of experimentation and interpretation through drawing. Being employed by scientific illustrators is an instrument used to support various researches and investigations. This study aims to understand the importance and the uses of the sketchbook on the work of the scientific illustrator. Based on survey’ analysis to a national and international scientific illustrator’s sample, we propose an approach to three basic issues: the use of sketchbook; the relationship between sketchbook / field sketching and scientific illustration; and finally, to quest if the field sketching is art or science. The framework of this research has also a practical component aiming to show in experimental terms the study theoretical issues. This component is relative to scientific illustration of two seahorses’ species respectively Hippocampus guttulatus and Hippocampus hippocampus, living in the Portuguese coast, and includes the development of a sketchbook and scientific illustrations of our own authorship
