Other sketchbook drawings were exhibited as fine art, such as Studies for a Boy Book, displayed at the Bodley gallery in New York in 1956. Several of his whimsical sketches and drawings from this era were published in magazines and books, such as The Best in Children’s Books series and a little-known vintage cookbook called Wild Raspberries. He also filled sketchbooks with freehand drawings, mostly done in ballpoint pen, of friends and still lifes. In the 1950s, Warhol’s blotted line drawing technique defined his signature style for his commercial work. At Carnegie Institute for Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University, which Warhol graduated from with a degree in pictorial design), Warhol’s offbeat, nontraditional drawing style did not meet all his professors’ academic standards, and he was forced to do extra work in this area over summer break. As a child he took art classes at the Carnegie Museum of Art and later won awards for drawings he had made in high school. Drawing was a constant part of his artistic practice.
