Welcome to my example project for the 7-Day Sketchbook Challenge! In this course, we explore fun, stress-free prompts to help you unlock your creativity and build a daily sketching habit.

For this project, I completed all seven prompts, focusing on loose lines, bold colors, and a playful approach to experimenting with my sketchbook. Each day brought a new theme, allowing me to try different techniques, tools, and ideas.

Steps I Followed

Set Up My Workspace: I gathered my favorite sketchbook, pens, markers, and pencils.
Completed Daily Prompts:
- Day 1: Drawing Materials
- Day 2: Drawing Basics
- Day 3: Applying Basic Techniques
- Day 4: Prompt: Volkswagon Van
- Day 5: Prompt: Character/Portrait
- Day 6: Prompt: Landscape
- Day 7: Prompt: Perspective
- Day 8: Prompt: Vespa
- Day 9: Prompt: Cool dog
- Day 10: Prompt: Slice of pizza
Experimented with Style: I tried to push my usual boundaries by drawing quickly, making bold marks, and leaning into imperfection.
Reviewed My Progress: At the end of the challenge, I looked back through my sketches to reflect on what I learned and enjoyed most.

My Takeaways

Confidence Boost: I noticed a big shift in how relaxed I felt when sketching by the end of the challenge.
Creative Freedom: Each day encouraged me to try something new without overthinking or judging my work.
Daily Habit: Spending 10 minutes a day in my sketchbook became a fun and rewarding part of my routine.
