Always wanted to start your daily sketchbook? Can’t think of what to sketch everyday? Don’t want to spend ages drawing perfect illustrations? Want to relax and escape away from the non-stop digitised world we live in? If the answer to any of these is yes, then this class: The Creative Sketchbook: Start Your Daily Sketching Habit Is perfect for you!

This class is all about getting you to start sketching something on a daily basis, in a an easy to access sketchbook where you can:

Escape away into a creative world of expression,
Relax your mind from the hustle of daily life and stress,
Improve your wellbeing by enjoying the process and journey at any level,
Create a sketching habit that will act as your daily driver and getaway.

If you’re after a quick start into a new or revived hobby that costs very little and can become a daily part of your busy life for you to relax and escape into with no pressure, then this class is ideal for you.

In this class:

I will go through the basic materials and supplies that you’ll need to quickly get started.
I will demonstrate four different styles of producing artwork that you can use to vary your sketches to keep things interesting - we will explore:
1. Loose sketching with graphite and ink,
2. Detailed drawing with ink and coloured pencils,
3. Creative illustrating with watercolours,
4. Abstract doodling using markers.
You will also be provided with a set of my own reference images for you to use so you spend less time thinking on what to draw and more time sketching, drawing, illustrating and doodling

This class is for all skill levels so having the ability to draw is not a prerequisite – this class is about relaxing and enjoying the process of making marks on paper rather than to produce perfect artwork or illustrations.
On completion of this class, you will be ready to start your creative sketchbook journey, be motivated to sketch every day and improve your wellbeing and will have your first pages or spreads ready to post in your Class Project.

This class will give you the direction, basic knowledge and confidence for you to be able to quickly start your creative sketchbook and maintain a daily sketching habit.

This class is aimed at all levels of skill from beginners to seasoned professionals with no prior knowledge required at all.

All materials used and demonstrated will be explained and links will be provided in the resource sheet to enable easy access if required.

Please note that currently the resource sheet can only be downloaded via a desktop or laptop computer and not on the Skillshare mobile app (correct as of June 2021)
