Hello and welcome! This class is about establishing a sketchbook or journal habit that works for you and your schedule. Daily sketching or journaling (or both) is one of the best ways to support your well-being, tap into your creativity, and hone your skills.

If you've been wanting to keep a sketchbook practice but have had a hard time keeping it up, or want to figure out how to make your existing practice even more beneficial, this class is perfect for you.

I'm an illustrator and one of my most popular classes on Skillshare is even all about Illustrated Journaling. I’ve always wanted to keep a daily sketchbook but to be honest, it can be hard to maintain. After much trial and error, I’ve finally been able to make sketchbook journaling a consistent part of my daily routine. Now I want to share this process so you can build your own helpful routine, whether you want to journal or draw.

In this class, you’ll learn to design your own daily pages to maximize your chances of keeping a sketchbook or journal. We'll cover:

The many benefits of daily journaling and sketching (i.e. what I call Daily Pages)
Common approaches to Daily Pages that you can tailor to your goals
How to design a routine that achieves your goals and is realistic based on considerations such as:
- Writing and drawing tool selection
- Sketchbook and notebook features
- Pre-made journals with prompts
- Go-to themes so you always know what to write or draw

This class comes with a free downloadable worksheet to guide you as you design your own daily pages.

Here are links to the products and resources I mention in the video.
