What You Will Learn?

  • Build a Healthy Creative Habit: Make a Simple Everyday Sketchbook is a detailed breakdown of the how and why I design, create, and use a custom sketchbook. By designing and creating your own sketchbook, you'll reduce the investment associated with quality materials and create a format best suited to your work. Your new "everyday" sketchbook will create less anxiety over the fear of wasting an expensive/pretty sketchbook or fighting a bad format, making more time to put art on paper!       .
  • The main focus of this sketchbook class is ultimately use-ability. You are of course welcome to make yours as highly detailed as you like, but this class will be focusing on the advantages of stripped-down and functional sketchbooks, not only from the construction perspective, but also as a boost to creative license and productivity..
  • What you’ll learn:.
  • Think of this as the comfy “T-shirt & jeans” sketchbook you’re gonna grab everyday and not worry about messing it up! Imagine of all the fun you'll have if you're not concerned with how "precious" your sketchbook is! So let’s dive in!!.
  • This class is for:.
  • Get ready to get more enjoyment and creative progress out of your sketchbook!.
  • Got your sketchbook? Check out my first Skillshare class on "Problem Solving in Your Sketchbook"!
