Have you started drawing but stopped a few days later?

Or find yourself filling a few pages of a sketchbook and then never opening it again?

How about starting a new art practice with the new year and can’t even remember when you stopped?

If this sounds like you, this class is for you! What if I told you there is an easy way!

AND I FOUND IT!

I’ve been doing sketch journaling for years and trying to teach everyone how to do it since 2020. In fact, my very first class for Skillshare was “Watercolor Sketch Journaling”.

In this new format, I call “No Effort Sketch Journaling”, I stripped down the practice to its essential parts and removed everything that you can use as an excuse to not to continue.

I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR IT! - It takes only 10 mins or less.

I CAN’T DO IT EVERYDAY! - You don’t have to.

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DRAW! - You don’t need to.

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO PAINT! - You don’t need to.

I AM NOT TALENTED! - No talent is required. (Plus, there is no such thing as talent.)

I AM IMPATIENT! - You will get results straight away.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DRAW - I’ll help you with that. =)

No Effort Sketch Journaling is exactly how it sounds like. NO EFFORT! It’s done with minimum effort yet it does everything a sketch journal should do:

- Give you a space to practice drawing/painting/hand lettering.

- It helps you to capture memories.

- It gives you a sense of accomplishment.

- And most importantly, it helps you to get a HABIT!

Turning this into a habit is the most important thing and I designed this format with this in mind. Habits are formed when there is less friction. If you wanna eat more fruit but every time eating a fruit involves digging them out of the fridge, washing, peeling, cutting… You end up not doing it. This is friction.

And forming a creative habit is good for you mentally but also it’s the only thing to help you get better at your art. With this in mind, I got rid of:

the pencil sketching
drawing layouts
big sketchbooks
big paints
filling out an entire page
writing
painting out the entire page

What we are left with is a tiny but mighty sketch journal with very artsy paintings inside.

So, since you have NO EXCUSE left, I will see you inside, right? =)

If you still have an excuse, please write to me directly because I have to hear this BS. =D And I promise I will try to find a solution for it.
