If you've ever struggled to draw on a regular basis, outside of digital software, or with regular art block and drawing fatigue, keeping a Sketchbook is definitely for you! Keeping a Sketchbook that I draw in on a regular basis, with the goal to fill at least one full Sketchbook annually, has been one of the most helpful creative habits I've ever kept up with. In this class, I'll share low-pressure habits to help you keep up drawing in your Sketchbook on your schedule, tips for making drawing practice and study more fun and personal, and methods for creating Sketchbook spreads that are character-focused, visually engaging, and colorful.

Together, we will:

• Brainstorm and tour potential drawing materials
• Explore some of my favorite sketchbook spreads to spark inspiration
• Generate drawing prompts, find references to draw from & create the first sketch on our page
• Add more sketches to the page, add color and blank fill space
• Complete the spread with any changes or finishing touches and reflect on the drawings

In this class, you'll learn:

•  To feel less intimidated by the idea of keeping a regular Sketchbook habit
• Some ways to make your spreads fun, visually appealing, and personal
• Tools to help you stay committed to filling your first Sketchbook in your on schedule and style
