What is a Sketchbook Snack?

It's a quick and simple exercise that you do in your sketchbook any time you are feeling blocked, like you don't know what to draw, or just want to have some fun!

In this class, I will guide you through the process of filling a double page spread in your sketchbook with catty, attitude-y cat drawings that are uniquely yours.

Together we’ll warm up with a fun ice-breaker, discuss how to make expressive faces with simple features, pick out materials from what you have on hand, and complete our final project.

By the end of the class you will have a fun and beautiful new spread in your sketchbook and the knowledge to complete this exercise again whenever you need a boost.

This class is perfect for you if you are a sketchbook beginner, if you're experiencing art block, or even if you just have a limited amount of time to play in your sketchbook!
