Creative Habits: 14 Days to Start and Keep a Sketchbook Practice

I’m excited to announce I’ve just published a new course that will help you to start, and keep drawing by keeping a regular sketchbook practice.

I’ve been keeping an almost daily sketchbook for over 5 years now, and it has become the center of my creative work. For me, drawing is the start of every visual art, and keeping a regular sketchbook habit has been one of the best ways to keep my creative flow.

Here’s a short video introduction to the new course:

This class is about taking a moment each day to stop and observe, helping you to nurture your artistic voice and grow observational skills, while creating a place to creatively unwind – your sketchbook.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this class:

• Find out what inspires you and how you can find ideas for what to draw
• Explore techniques and best practices to actually get creative and look forward to sketching
• How to deal with difficult aspects like perfectionism and feeling stuck, so that you have all the important building blocks for your creative practice
• how to avoid diversions and stay in the creative flow that brings out our best work as artists
• I’ll also share lots of examples from my own sketchbooks and show you how to find your own creative prompts so that you never run out of ways to find inspiration

If you don’t know how to get started, although you have so many beautiful art supplies, and if you regularly watch all those helpful videos with the best sketching tips, but still feel afraid to pick up a pencil, I’ve got you. We’ll explore how you can learn to express your creativity in a safe environment, without having to live up to anyone’s expectations or feeling uncertain about the creative process. This class will provide the space for you to sit down in, to make the art you want.

Whether you’re an aspiring artist or creative professional, or you just want to explore your creativity more deeply, this class will help you to start, and keep!, a creative practice with the help of regular sketching.

The class will give you lots of helpful tips and short demos for over 14 days, and help you to make daily sketching a part of your creative routine.
