Want to learn how to start a daily sketchbook and actually keep the practice going?
Always Drawing is a new series from NYTimes bestselling illustrator, Mike Lowery. Mike has kept a daily sketchbook for more than 20 years and wants to help you start a daily routine of keeping one, too. And "sketchbook basics" isn't basic at all! It's geared towards artists of all skill types, from beginner to advanced students.
In this class we cover:
<ul><li>What is a sketchbook and why it's important to keep one every day.</li>
<li>Tips on getting started and maintaining a consistent practice.</li>
<li>Types of sketchbooks and what materials you should try out</li>
<li>Approaches and styles to help you get inspired and excited to draw.</li>
</ul>And lots more! There are also two assignments that will help you get started with a sketchbook of your own.
Part one is (as you may have guessed) is just the beginning! This series will be based on your suggestions, questions, and requests. Be sure to leave comments with ideas for future sketchbook-related questions!
